Who the fuck is Tommy Tallarico and where's the version of him without the goatee

Gotta have one lil' guy for your various tinctures, strong brews, and atsukan. I might join tiny cup society

A carrying case of variously sized cups might be in order!

Getting to hang with Eris (Aeris?) for a tick was one of my favorite moments of the event this year by far.

It looks like your adventures were out of this world. I'm so glad to see it! Make sure you bring a bigger tea cup next time you visit Obscurity!

I still want to play the original version that was an explicit criticism of capitalism

I also suggest listening to some of the more objectively great L'Arc tracks for comparison. They might be contemporaneous for Japan, but they might be brand new to you which makes them pop (probably)
This one's from the intro to GTO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzuu...

Ergo! I implore you to listen to the MOST absurd English speaking song L'Arc produced - a cover of "Careless Whisper" for Japanese TV. His performance was beloved, and understanding why helps grok Japan a little better. It's funny! But also honestly v. good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OZj...
