Big fan of Steins;gate so I really wanted this 1/7 scale figure when I saw on on the Japanese hobby sites. This Good Smile Steins;gate Makise Kurisu Reading Steiner figure was released October 2023 but as with most scale figures, it was already sold out. There wasn't even any scalping which is probably good news because maybe only the...
Science enthusiast kids has their maid Autobot hijacked by an AI from other space which needs their help to get home. It's been disguising itself as the recently hyped SH3 comet. Second Anime movie I watched during my flight to Japan. Wasn't going to watch this because it sounded kiddyish but wasn't much else available so went for it....
The movie has a strange kind of history to kick off with. A war triggered due to dog poop and cat pee ruining each country. It's pretty heavy diplomatically themed at first as each side decides to send a candidate for a marriage of convenience in order to create peace. However, both sides ends up sending the very animals that set off the war...

Formerly known as "Lifetree Ueno", the hotel is easy to spot from Ueno Station as reviews say. You can see the L-shaped outline of the tall building from a distance made of offices on the lower floors while the upper 20+ floors are the hotel rooms. Following Google Maps it's around 10 minutes walk from the train station where youll...

Been here for almost 2 weeks but never been inside the park nearby, haha. Park was huge and had these illustrated lanterns...

Been wondering why the partitions on apartment balconies can be removed and I think I know why; access to fire emergency stairs along the side. If you ever wondered how dirty cash can be check out the white tissue I wrapped my coins because I had too much and wanted to separate some. Not pretty... Morning was laundry time for mesince...
Another clear day. Weather's been mostly great this trip just like last time. Only a day of rain so far. I decided to go out and grab the rare Figma Pokemon Red figure for my friend in the morning because one I spotted in Lashinban, Culture Zone was already gone despite the £200 price tag. Might be the last chance to grab the second one I...
Working out how much change I can dump into the top up machine. Always fun when you have too much even though most places accept card now or even just Google Pay. Don't know if the latter charges a fee too though. Shame the top-up machines only take so much change and no 1 or 10 yen coins so my wallet didn't get much lighter... Was a quiet...
