I didn't know phở was a smelly food. I need to be careful not to bring it to a friend's house, too. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Es9D...

なるほど，九州と関東ではそうなのね

関西弁ではくだけた口語で，敦賀は北陸より関西の影響が強い地域だから同様に使われるのかもしれない

異空間リーディングステージ「アサルトリリィ」RED & BLUE - 舞台 アサルトリリィ

Can somebody receive my ticket and go to this AssaultLily stage reading show tomorrow in lieu of me? I have a fever of 38.5°C and have to give up on it. assaultlily-stage.jp/2511stage/

再会したら亀甲縛りしてやる!

Removed my weekend schedule paying cancellation fees for a trip to Kanazawa. At first I was going to do it at any cost regardless of coughing persistent for three weeks, but my cold worsened today to lead to a final decision. It's all the fault of overworking in business trips.

Cropped screenshot of my friend's post on twitter two days ago saying "Charlie, come back to Japan..." with a photo of street banners of Sayaka and her actor Kokona Nonaka from Hasunosora's school idol club waving in Shibuya, Tokyo

Photo of the same taken by me just now

When my friend took a photo of street banners of my fav Hasunosora idol only to one-up on me while I was out of Japan, I swore to find him and knock him down as soon as I came back. Where are you hiding, comrade, I'll beat you!

I have no idea but a wing blocks the window view whenever I fly. Is every airplane perhaps made of one wing per window?

Map around Tokyo displayed on the back of the seat in front of me in a China Airlines flight, with a mysterious text "卡米仁賈古" which doesn't make sense in the center

Close-up of the said text in the previous photo

An unintelligible text which isn't japanese appears on Mitaka city in Tokyo in a flight map in any aircraft employing FlightPath3D system only when it's set to traditional chinese. Did somebody hack and overwrite it just for fun?

A branch of Superrich Thailand in the mall bought 100 taiwan dollars from me for 104 baht while another currency exchange on the same floor said 88 baht. We may usually think it's exaggerated when hearing a phrase like "best rate in Thailand," but it seems this is the exception.

Many currency exchanges rejected the taiwan dollar note I brought just because it was "too old" according to them. Are they joking?! I've lived my life no longer than 36 years and the banknote was even younger. Finally a shop named Superrich Thailand accepted it. Shame on other shops.

Originally I aimed to go to MBK Center because of a branch of Animate inside there. However I got disappointed after I found it was nothing more than a satellite shop of Japan—in radical words, cultural invasion. Anitime located next to Animate is by far recommended for tourists to Thailand.

Entrance of Anitime Creator Store Bangkok with standees of its mascot girl celebrating the store's 10th anniversary, in the mall MBK Center (เอ็ม บี เค เซ็นเตอร์)

Felt like I found a lotus flower in mud when I encountered Anitime, a store exclusively for fanfics, self-published books, and artworks made by thai artists in a mall MBK Center after work. This is what I wanted. Excited to open the visual novels I purchased here though I can't read thai.

Screenshot of an in-app story in the Assault Lily's game app where Araya says "speak to yourself, you're also playing the game on your mobile phone even aside the sea," to counter Misora's pointing out that Araya doesn't do anything proper when they come to a beach for leisure

What's wrong with it?! There's also a nerd who keeps playing the same game regardless of national borders here!

Screenshot of an illustration of Riri/Tazusa corresponding to Tazusa's new dress as a gacha reward I obtained in Assault Lily's game app Last Bullet

Screenshot of the app to notify I got the said dress

Wherever I am, I'm never a man who misses Tazusa's new outfit.

Thanks to being a weekend today no email attacks my mailbox so that I can concentrate on my job in the industrial exhibition. Only one problem is that I don't want to work at all.

Intersection under the elevated Siam metro station in a heavy traffic jam, looking down from a pedestrian bridge

A very clear picture to prove how much a railroad system is necessary:

Train on BTS Sukhumvit line, one of the metro systems in Bangkok going to leave Siam station

One year ago I wondered why a BTS train looked familiar to me. Now I've noticed it shares the concept with the Washington Metro in my states to paint itself in red, white, and blue—the colors of their respective national flags regardless of line colors. Found another reason to like Thailand.

My hand holding an acrylic standee of Nana Daiba from Revue Starlight series in front of a signboard of Nana metro station in Bangkok; the station name actually sounds like [nāːnāː]

Nana, here's Nana station.

Samurai cheeseburger, french fries, and banana coffee-flavored pie on a plate together with fingertip-sized acrylic standees of Yuyu and Riri from Assault Lily series, at McDonald's near Asok metro station

Me: Yuyu, Riri, here's the dinner at thai McD's...
Riri in my head: I'm sorry but I'm not sure why we—
Me: Rotation.

Exit doors only for emergency in the backyard in BITEC (Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre) where an industrial exhibition is held

Workers are losers. I'm exhausted. May I open the door to freedom?

Garbage collector and a garbage truck on duty near Sai Yud metro station in Bangkok

One of my crazy hobbies is photography of garbage trucks throughout the globe. Give applause to an unnamed hero to clean the city here in Bangkok, too.

A tuk-tuk with Demon Slayer (unauthorized): I would lol if it were permitted.

Cashier corner of a souvenir store in the terminal 2, Narita airport, with a wall illustration of japanese wind god and thunder god turned into girls

Before the pandemic there used to be life-size dolls of fujin (wind god) and raijin (thunder god) materialized from this wall art welcoming the visitors to Narita airport. Time flies, as well as an airplane flies.

Screenshot of Hasunosora's mocap talk show streamed last monday where Hime talked to plushies of a dinosaur and a crane; the right plushie is called Otsuru-san (おツルさん)

My broken heart is obsessed with today's Hasunosora concert too much that I come to think a train I boarded—supposedly blah-blah express—looks like Otsuru-san.

そして皆ジゴクアリの巣へ帰っていくんですよね……

ほんまそれ!

Disappointed to find that the translate switch here leads to mistranslation in french and japanese. Has AI refused to translate "help children be physically disabled" into "rendre les enfants physiquement handicapés" and "子どもを肢体不自由にする" because it's immoral? Don't think, AI. You're a machine.

Posters of the movie of Nijigasaki School Idol Club: Final Chapter Part 2 (虹ヶ咲学園スクールアイドル同好会 完結編第2章) on tripods displayed in an aisle in Cinecittà (チネチッタ)

Saw the movie of Nijigasaki's final part 2 last sunday. How wonderful Rina/Mia was. Should I change my occupation from an Ai/Rina shipper to that of Rina/Mia? Wait. Think in a way that Rina inherited Ai's role as a guardian spirit. It's a succession of master-discipleship what I'm madly fond of!
