One of my proudest moments was two Americans on vacation coming into the game bar we usually haunted in Shinjuku with their own controllers and me and my friend getting flawless wins against them in Tekken Tag Team immediately causing them to silently pack up and leave

Haven't been keeping up with posting much because life has been busy. The main reason being preparing for and keeping up with the arrival of my wife and I's first child, Louis (瑠維) one month ago!

He's doing great and growing too fast 🥹

一週間お疲れ everyone!
Hope you all enjoy a nice weekend! 😸

Saturday night and I'm a teenager again 😍

I cannot bawl very heartily and work very recklessly at one and the same time.

Right back at you!

You too, Alfie. Always appreciate your posts 🙏

Inside Genroku conveyor belt sushi at the 1970 Expo. There's an array of national flags above the counter.

An convyor belt in an Asahi beer bottling factory, which inspired the founder of Genroku.

Genroku opened Japan's first conveyor belt sushi in 1958, and the concept was a hit at the 1970 Osaka Expo. Genroku's founder was inspired by the conveyor belts he saw during a visit to a beer bottler. www.yomiuri.co.jp/expo2025/202...
