Don't know if it's a trend but so many families out in the hotel dining area this morning and it's a Saturday. Usually it's very quiet at this hour. Ended up locking myself out because I forgot my key card so had to go to reception and it was peak checkout time too... Originally...

Decided to sit somewhere different today instead of facing Ueno Park, now same view as my room. Almost forgot my key card this morning ^^; Plan was to tour Weathering with You spots around Tabata and Shinjuku but very heavy rain. Weather Girl must be off today but might still man...

Been capturing morning time lapses and this morning's sunrise turned out good... Until a fly appeared at one point somehow outside the window. Otherwise clear skies, a fairly warm day. Bought this Suntory Tennensui brand of water marketed with Suzume and Shinkai's other movies. T...

Not such an early start today since I'm just walking around Tokyo to tour some more Shinkai movie spots; mix of Weathering with You/Tenki no Ko and Your Name. People sure finish their breakfast quickly, a lot of business people in suits. View feels pointless when you're doing tha...

Shogo Yahagi is out having fun with his biker friends when he is shown a brand new motorbike he's never seen before. Unfortunately for him it turns out to be classified weapon and a secret organisation was willing put in a great deal of effort to retrieve it from him. As he delve...

In Japan you've got services like these but it's nothing as seedy as escorts as it's mostly lonely people wanting some company to do something such as play a video game together. Believe it or not, there are even rent-a-family services which people can rent a pretend family membe...

Dekisugi talks about a utopia he read about in a novel where everyone is happy. Thinking this would mean no more tests, school, a place of pure bliss, Nobita decides to go on the hunt for such a place. When he sees a strange object disappear in the sky resembling the utopian isla...
