When people at work find out where I'm going, they always ask "why I want to see Japan." I'm all like, oh the shrines, the nature, gonna see some gyaru girls, maybe check out the domesticated foxes...you know, shop for clothes and stuff. 🤘
Rheumatoid disease + neuropathy. Basically quit explaining after the first year. No longer worth the effort unless it's to prevent danger to others. I get the "wtf" you were just using the left side of your body a minute ago, you sayin' it just don't work now? 🔫. Give me a chisel & hammer and I'll gladly demonstrate on your c6-c7.

Yes indeed. I've only read bits and pieces of but I really got into it, Jolyne's the most interesting thing on the market right imo. I'll watch if they finish her however it's sounding like they're taking their time...
Pretty much. People hear oh you're into Japanese music? *lists off a dozen obnoxious J/K pop bands* then wants to talk comics. Like really, I've never read a single manga front-to-back and have zero interest your cosplay fanaticism. Your language is night and day from mine. It's likely we have about 3-4 words in common. 🙄
I'm going to have to interject and insist on usage of the politically correct term, "small people."
"Although the persona of the bandomen appeared largely dynamic online, they were in fact, small people."
That particular club looks like one of the more loud/obnoxious atmospheres, I heard they have themes based on different districts? I'm from Las Vegas, so Japan host clubs come off as really clean in comparison...despite having little to no substance. I lost my sh*t when she asked him, "what do women do if they love you but can't afford you?" and he's all, "well typically they get a higher paying job."
Our atmospheres here are trashy and the people have zero iq, most are hellbent on stripping/demeaning women and objectifying people. It's a completely different mindset. Japan is one of the few places I've seen the nightlife promote actual intellectual interaction. Anywhere you go there will always be a nightlife/sex industry. It's the level of control society manages to hold and the etiquette they employ that ends up defining the culture.
Same. The whole prefecture of is sacred as far as I'm concerned haha. Pretty much everything I obsess over comes from Osaka.
At first I thought it was just a coincidence and I was underexposed. But yeah, now I'll take three days going through new artists, come up with a few new bands out of 50 that take, and they're generally all formed there.
That sounds brutal. It makes sense they are going to defend their own women though. Years ago when I first got into the scene, you basically had to be invited to the shows. That was the only way in. It was sketchy for foreigners to even go.
Personally I've found that in western concert culture you can usually stay out of trouble by only talking with people that approach you. There are plenty of ways to not draw attention (stay in the back, be polite, don't feed any drama). I'm sort of curious how these tactics play out in livehouses. Personally I don't want to be anywhere near the furi (I've foreign, the actions look completely delusional to me) but most of the bands I listen to aren't really of that nature anyway, so. I guess I'd be more concerned about being ostracized for being white.
