The Street Fighter movie character posters look awful. But the art direction for Street Fighter has looked awful for at least the past 3 games. So...

Flu going around like crazy in Japan. And also in the UK.

Lawd. Don’t let this be COVID preparing its 2026 comeback tour.

Learning kanji is making me want to commit Suica.

This shoulda been Hopper’s final episode.

This looks good. But y’all. It was so bland. The free water had more taste. This could not have been any more void of flavour if it had tried.

Like... How do you manage to make flavoured ice cream, caramel and apples not taste of anything!?

Seiko got so much of my money y’all. I feel SICK.

Of course the one day I wear a grey sweatshirt and I’m out eating lunch, the knife slips out of my hand and hits my chest — RIGHT at the end of the meal.

I want to commit Suica in the middle of this restaurant.

I am SO annoyed.

Re: Japan

The unfortunate thing about this ‘tourist situation’, is that as bad as it is in areas and as shitty as some tourists are — something I have witnessed first-hand — locals can also be rude as FUCK. And when that energy is deservedly returned, then it’s still ‘tourists are bad’.

The one time those off-white boots woulda actually (kinda) worked. And they pull out fresh pairs of white ones.

Wearing your mask outside, but pulling it down / taking it off when you’re on a train!?

I’m at that big flea market in Tokyo. It’s full of RGB (255, 255, 255). A lot of them keep staring at me. And everywhere smells like Lynx and perfume.

Does anybody know how to change the height of the seat on Docomo bikes? Because I am absolutely flummoxed on how to do it, and Google isn’t telling me anything.

The Docomo bike website is like ‘If you wanna change the seat height, girl, just do it’. Okay, BUT HOW!?

Chile. I’m about to become addicted to Drewell. I’m having to pick up a box at different drugstores, so the staff don’t think I have a problem.

Kirby Air Riders has a good-ass marketing budget. Which is more than can be said for Metroid Prime 4.

Meanwhile, Mario Kart World ain’t received shit.

Re: Tokyo

There are RGB (255, 255, 255) people everywhere. More than last year. Even in the parts of Tokyo where you probably wouldn’t expect to see them...they are there.

I’m always sceptical of coverage where there is one specific thing and multiple outlets say the EXACT same thing about it. Not to say that it can’t be true and multiple people can’t have the same opinion. But I question it every time when it happens.

I’m going to Japan in a couple of weeks. But today I just got hit with this overwhelming feeling of not wanting to go.

Kyary needs to let her baby manage her career, because they would do a better job than whoever is managing it right now. ‘Cos even Poko Pampers woulda been like ‘Mom, drop a spooky song today’ instead of whatever that “Genjitsu-Touhi” song is.
