[junior edge]

You can listen to the artists in the post

[graceful path]

I am going as well!

I am thinking of just grabbing tickets when I arrive. Do you think it will work or should I reserve some beforehand?

[sterile pasture]

Cool I’m down to go to this

[livid aspen]

Oedo line in Shinjuku is so deep underground

[heavy saffron]

Try Roppongi, it’s even deeper

[livid aspen]

Oh really? Dang.

[heavy saffron]

Apparently Roppongi Oedo station is the deepest subway station in Japan

[gloomy goblet]

Deeper doesn’t necessarily mean better though!

[graceful crater]

Sounds right since the Oedo Line had to bore under existing subway lines.

[heavy saffron]

Depends on what are we taking about

[graceful crater]

Oedo Line is actually the 'newest' line in the Tokyo Central area.

Despite being built about three decades ago

[heavy saffron]

No, it’s not

Fukutoshin line is the newest one

[graceful crater]

Fair. But Fukutoshin didn't need to worry about existing lines.

[inland breach]

Anyone in Kagoshima ?

[heavy saffron]

It did, it is below any other lines in the area

It is below Hanzomon/Denentoshi in particular

Below Marunouchi too

[graceful crater]

Right.

Then it links with the Yurakucho line in the North and the Tokyu Toyoko line to the south

And then the Minatomirai line even further than that.

[heavy saffron]

Minatomirai line being funny running under the sea

[junior edge]

It’s same price on the door, but if you do a reservation then it helps the organiser because they like knowing how many people are coming

[copper skiff]

Someone down for a daytrip to kamakura tomorrow?

[stone plover]

Yaya landed

#1346040173753925724

LETS DO IT

[keen crown]

The limited non-reserved cars on Shinkansen surprised me. Forgot they are pushing more for reservations

[light compass]

Isn’t it like 850 yen diff

Who would ever non reserve

[keen crown]

Me because I was dumb and just clicked it so I didn’t have to choose a particular train itself

Also I was rushing so less choices

[stray mural]

was it full?

[keen crown]

It’s semi full but I’m not from here so no one wants to sit by me

[heavy saffron]

Yea if ya not from the hood nobody sits with you

[gloomy goblet]

by choice? Not sure... sometimes you don't have a choice tho - i.e. all reserved sold out

I always travel with a LAARGE suitcase (long trips) so I have to always book 'reserved'

[keen crown]

I ended up sending my larger suitcase to my next hotel via Sagawa. So I don’t need to take it all the way to Kyoto for the 2 days I’ll be there

But my previous trips I also had to do that.

[willow onyx]

What’s the typical delivery time if you send your luggage to your residence from the airport or convenience store?

[keen crown]

Depends on the service and distance. They told me they could have it to my hotel today if I wanted. But I had to ask them to hold not be so quick since I don’t check in for a few days . They were confused. They also had to call my hotel so it may be my hotel holding it

[willow onyx]

So say I land at 1500 on Thursday, they could have it from NRT to Shinjuku by eepy time?🤔

[unborn quarry]

I’m down!
Time to eat a day’s worth of calories in the next 4 hours😂

[keen crown]

Most likely will be next day. I was through customs by 10am. But it’s possible

[willow onyx]

Hmm. Okay, I’ll embrace the suck and just take my bag with me

[junior edge]

This channel is for planning meetups, please use #planning-and-itineraries for organisational advice

[keen crown]

I mean you should pack a days worth of clothes in case the airline loses your baggage. So it showing up next day normally isn’t that bad

[willow onyx]

Always do. Hit and run bags are always a necessity

[light compass]

I always opt for next train rather than non reserved

I guess if you absolutely need to be on that train and can’t wait 10 mins cuz you are cutting it that close

[stone plover]

Me cause I just show up

And tap tap tap

[light compass]

Yea I just show up and tap tap tap

But I click “reserved seating”

[gloomy goblet]

I'm usually always in mad dash lol
Always trying to get to my destination ASAP! 😅

[heavy saffron]

Just bring it with you

[stone plover]

Narishit is the wilderness and always +1 day

[light compass]

I’m headed to narita right now to help my buddy carry his bags

Narita blows

[gloomy goblet]

Then when I get there... I just chill and do nothing lol 😆

[heavy saffron]

Is he bringing his whole home to Japan?

[willow onyx]

Crazy😂 I leave for my first flight in 8 hours 🥳

[stone plover]

Don’t even use the terminals

Just suica it through the gates

[gloomy goblet]

SUICA for Shinkansen???

[stone plover]

It’s kinda advanced tho

[stone plover]

Shit I should have been there

Ooops

I just left the airport

Friend can also take a bus

[light compass]

You can link it to your Suica

Use smartEX

[gloomy goblet]

Is it really that much more convenient than using a credit card tho? (Using SUICA via smartEX?)

[stone plover]

I dunno jump so many hoops through Japan

I’m brain washed

[light compass]

Not at all except you don’t have to worry about losing paper

I prefer paper ticket

[gloomy goblet]

interesting

I just don't like reserving in advance

[light compass]

If you reserve in advance you get green class for the same price

[gloomy goblet]

noice

[light compass]

3 days

Not that far ahead if you have a long trip

[stone plover]

3 days advanced booking for green car is same price as regular fare?

[light compass]

Yes

[stone plover]

Whoa

[gloomy goblet]

I actually don't mind the paper ticket either. It's kind of cool/fun to use - just don't lose that shiz!

[stone plover]

That’s how people take green cars

But that means you have to be at the station at X time

I do like Japan is relatively painless to use the terminals to tap tap buy a ticket

Trains are frequent enough

No security tsa bullshit

[frosty pebble]

Anyone fancy doing a Toriki + darts tn?

[livid aspen]

Any dinner plan tonight?

[light compass]

Mayb

Catching up with a buddy if we decide to go out we will rip darts

[stone plover]

There’s karaoke Saturday and grilled meat

[light compass]

How do you go to ichiran and coco but not toriki

Toriki is so much better than both

[toxic arch]

i dont really go to coco its a meme, theres better currys in japan side, coco is so good state side tho

ichiran is the best common ramen available tho

[light compass]

Never been to coco

I agree with that

Ichiran best chain ramen for sire

[frosty pebble]

I like Coco ngl

But I tried a new one recently and it was good

Called Hot Spoon in Shinjuku

Might fw that tonight actually

[dreamy citrus]

Any recommendations on what to so tonight. Already went to golden gai alot and clubbing is dead on a weekday

❤️

[azure tapir]

ya lets do it

[sleek tinsel]

OK let's do it. Anyone with insight into what to look for or where to go? Akihabara is packed with them.

[ivory fulcrum]

Literally any maid cafe is good in akihabara

As long as u dont like follow any of the ones on the street

[azure tapir]

not too sure but i think akihabara would be easiest

[pallid steppe]

Music show

[sleek tinsel]

What makes one good or bad?

[ivory fulcrum]

the prices mainly

[sleek tinsel]

Serious question

[ivory fulcrum]

And what they “offer” I guess

[sleek tinsel]

What's reasonable? Is it like a cover plus drinks or aycd?

[ivory fulcrum]

idk it depends on what u want

like u get the classic moe moe beam on the food and u can pay for like a staring contest or like a signed polaroid and stuff

[sleek tinsel]

I have no idea what that means but I'll check it out tonight haha.

[ivory fulcrum]

If there is a group going tomorrow I kinda wanna come too

Leaving on sat and need to do an akihabara run asap

[warm pond]

Fuck it I might be down as well I just didn't want to do one by myself

[sleek tinsel]

OK let's go. I am just in town for a day so let's do it.

[unborn quarry]

Yeah id be down too
I don’t have the confidence to solo a maid cafe either lol

[ivory fulcrum]

yea solo would be so hard hahaha

[sleek tinsel]

Haha OK let me make a channel to hammer out details.

[ivory fulcrum]

Try not to die challenge impossible

[sleek tinsel]

https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1346783669733429248

[pallid steppe]

Honestly I would tell you to avoid maid cafes in general lol

but if you're determined, then go for it

[sleek tinsel]

I'm in Japan for weird stuff. I've got one day, I'm going to make it count haha.

[junior edge]

Join us #1258197429539311667 message

[ivory fulcrum]

Its super surreal experience would recommend at least once

Instead of being like damn this is cringe

[pallid steppe]

@ivory fulcrum Who is the best Twice member and why is it Sana?

[ivory fulcrum]

Real and true based 100% alpha male take right there

[pallid steppe]

She's quite funny in person

[ivory fulcrum]

[pallid steppe]

I spoke to her??

[ivory fulcrum]

Damn tf when how lmao

Whats ur secret

[pallid steppe]

She was on my flight

I spoke to her at the gate

Her and Momo

[ivory fulcrum]

lucky bastard

[pallid steppe]

Met Nayeon once too

She was outside a birthday cafe that my friend hosted for Yeri

Met Yeri that day too. She's bonkers

[ivory fulcrum]

what like in japan?

[pallid steppe]

No in Seoul

I want to say March 2020

During the pandemic

we were in apujeongrodeo

[ivory fulcrum]

yea I aint even gonna try to read that one

[pallid steppe]

I didn't talk to Nayeon though

This was during that big german stalker crisis, so I didn't bother her

[ivory fulcrum]

yea that guy is a full psycho

Only time I saw sana was 5m away when she came to Australia 😭

[pallid steppe]

I have a ton of videos of Sana though that my friends have sent me

[ivory fulcrum]

Paid absurd prices for best seats

[pallid steppe]

I have a lot of friends who are always front row for twice shows

so they get a lot of videos

[ivory fulcrum]

ahhh so uve got the connections too

Teach me ur ways

[pallid steppe]

Oh super simple

Just throw $4000 USD at a ticket

Hey!

If money is no issue, you can get tickets easily!

[livid aspen]

What if.... money is an issue?

[pallid steppe]

Twice is casually fun and interesting

but I don't go to their shows anymore

[ivory fulcrum]

yea I dont wanna talk about how much I dropped on seeing them front row twice in australia

[pallid steppe]

I've done several, but its too expensive and I don't care enough about them to go

I really only go to IU concerts now

[ivory fulcrum]

Worth every penny but damn my bank account was crying

[pallid steppe]

Now IU concerts

[ivory fulcrum]

iu the goat

[pallid steppe]

Those are always worth going to

[pallid steppe]

You'll enjoy this one then

[light compass]

My gf is obsessed with mina

That’s twice right?

[pallid steppe]

Yeah

She's put of the J-line

MI - Mina
AS - Sana
MO - Momo

[light compass]

I’ll show her your video she will die of jealousy

[pallid steppe]

My video is of IU

Not Mina 😄

[light compass]

Still twice!

[pallid steppe]

She's not in Twice

[light compass]

She’s just a mina super fan

Oh

[ivory fulcrum]

Hahahahaha

[light compass]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don’t know shit okay

[pallid steppe]

Twice love her

Twice treat IU like your girlfriend treats Mina

[ivory fulcrum]

Nah any kpop fan will die of jealousy of that vid

[pallid steppe]

If that helps to clear things up

[ivory fulcrum]

front row seats at an iu concert is pretty crazy

[pallid steppe]

@light compass

IU in the middle there in the purple

Twice are those around her

[light compass]

I only can recognize mina

[ivory fulcrum]

This guys got the screenshots in quick draw

[pallid steppe]

I haven't really seen any kpop groups in person recently

except New Jeans by accident

a few times

[light compass]

New jeans had that drama stuff right?

[ivory fulcrum]

Speaking of mina

[light compass]

About ownership or whatever

[pallid steppe]

Yeah, but they are still really popular I think

[light compass]

Well that one song was insanely popular

[ivory fulcrum]

Fun times

[light compass]

Fuck. Looks good

[azure tapir]

im afraid of women 😢

[worn wing]

I'm afraid of the absolute cringe that is going to a maid cafe

[azure tapir]

u not fw the moe moe beam?

[ivory fulcrum]

U not fw the neko neko kawaii bro?

[heavy saffron]

Tbh the normal clientele of maid cafes is those who are afraid of women

So you will feel at home, maids are well trained to deal with that

And yes it’s explosive projectile cringe

[azure tapir]

perfect

[ivory fulcrum]

bro all this maid hate is unwarranted

[light compass]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭

That beam hit like a mf

[azure tapir]

ong

how can maid cafe be cringe when they pour their entire heart and soul into that beam

[sleek tinsel]

Kinda weird and bad vibes to judge others for the experiences they want to have. Maybe just don't come and mind your own business. Good vibes only please.

[stone plover]

Fun times

[azure tapir]

its all good im sure everyone is trolling even me included so i dont take anything too seriously

[worn wing]

I wasn't gonna come anyway. I just said why I'm not gonna go lmao

[ivory fulcrum]

Dw bro the maid cafe deniers would rather spend their time at temple number 24 in district a section B of tokyo

[worn wing]

I'm not gonna stop you being obnoxiously cringe

[ivory fulcrum]

Really took this guy 5 mins to come up with that

Crazy work bro

[worn wing]

I'm too busy hunting monsters in MHW

[azure tapir]

if maid cafe doesnt end up being as cringe as i hope it does i want my money back in usd

[ivory fulcrum]

Thats what im saying bro the cringe is good

U get a good laugh and a funny story what more could u want from a day out in japan

[azure tapir]

nah what are you talking bro

Im an incel neckbeard parasocialer who believes i can get a real meaningful relationship from the maids

[ivory fulcrum]

wait what

I thought thats what the main goal is bro

[azure tapir]

but jokes aside ye the cringe from going to the cafe in this case is positive aspect for me lol

wait u right bro

I take it back

I might have a real chance

[ivory fulcrum]

Yea im tryna wife up moe-chan frfr

[still nymph]

I'm in round1 stadium Daiba, you can get this 😂

[ivory fulcrum]

Exactly bro

[still nymph]

Maid Cafe is definitely not my style

😂

[ivory fulcrum]

Spending ur money on the stupid shit that japan has to offer is the strat

[azure tapir]

if this maid cafe shi actually becomes a banger

Im going everyday and get addicted to moe beams

[sleek tinsel]

Jesus some people...

[ivory fulcrum]

bro I reckon after 1000 bux the maid will develop feelings for you

[azure tapir]

fr???

[ivory fulcrum]

if not another 1000 will do it for sure

[azure tapir]

i might have to spend 3k for potential marriage

[ivory fulcrum]

Yea that will work 100%

[azure tapir]

Yall think 1000 usd will be enough to get me 1 omurice with a heart emoji and one song?

[ivory fulcrum]

yea that set is op

Apparently it comes with their Line ID too

[paper marlin]

Just show them your bank account and write their names with ketchup on ur omelette with a heart

Ultimate rizz

[azure tapir]

[willow onyx]

How is it??

[worn wing]

VERY LOVELY. A little easy, but I haven't gotten deep into HR stuff yet, so I can't tell for sure how endgame is gonna be.

The gear is topnotch. Love the designs.

I'm a happy doot-main

[willow onyx]

I think that’s what I’m going to get when I get back, that is after I painfully play warthunder

[heavy saffron]

Maid cafes aren’t expensive

[lethal crystal]

Excited to be there with you all tomorrow! 330pm arrival!

Ah. Thats understandable.

[stone plover]

Tomorrow morning

The nearest konbini is 10 min walk and it’s cold at night 🤡

No late night chips

[graceful crater]

WEll gg

[waxen dove]

10 minutes walk is fine

[stone plover]

Not when I’m used to 1 min walk

That’s 20 min round trip

My anime is over by then

[graceful crater]

The hotel I'm staying in has a conbini in the building and restaurants are all connected too.

[stone plover]

That should be baseline for Tokyo tourism

[light compass]

Which station

[stone plover]

Takasaki

[willow onyx]

You guys have fun I won’t make it Friday I think…… 😅 take pictures

[livid aspen]

Going to Nikko tomorrow Friday! Hmu if you want to meet up there

[wooden lichen]

Does anyone know with the hotel baths if I can go in with tattoos ? 😂

Iv got an onsen in my hotel but unsure whether or not I can go in with tattoos

[heavy saffron]

Just ask them

[copper skiff]

Usually u cant go, but ask at the reception, some may have special times for people with tattoos

[unkempt peak]

2 of the sento i went to in ikebukuro allowed tattoos (heiwayu and inariyu)

[limpid trout]

yes 🙌

[fervent kraken]

I go super late at night lol

[bright blade]

If anyone wants to hang out in Asakusa today, let me know! I'll also be doing a couchsurfing/discord get-together tomorrow night, and anyone is welcome to join.

[stone plover]

There’s a sento in Tokyo which allows tattoos

But they are around

Went to one in ginza yesterday and asked the shop sleeper

[brazen dove]

Hey folks! I am from Canada on my first trip to Japan! Currently staying in Shinjuku and would love to meet with other travellers and check out some restaraunts, bars, or other cool attractions.

[bright blade]

AB?

[brazen dove]

did the username give it away? 🤣

[bright blade]

Haha. I'm from there as well. Moved here a little over 10 years ago.

[junior edge]

Sentos allow tattoos by default

[brazen dove]

Hell yeah!! That’s awesome.

[bright blade]

Let me know if you're in the Asakusa area. There's some other Canadian expats nearby as well

[brazen dove]

I’m still learning the train system so that’s why I’m hesitant to commit to anything outside of my immediate vicinity.

Taking it for the first time today to check out the Warner bros studio tour.

[brazen dove]

I’ll let you know for sure. Lmk if any plans solidify and I might hop on that as well. I’m keeping most of my evenings open aside from tomorrow evening.

[bright blade]

Not so hard to get to Asakusa, you'll only need one transfer on the metro. I'll be having a get-together with some locals and Discord folks at a bar here on Saturday night if you're up for it, maybe karaoke after that.

[brazen dove]

100000% up for that

[stone plover]

CANADIANS

can we talk about Trudeau

And state of housing of Vancouver

And the USA hockey game

I kid I kid

I want some poutine

[bright blade]

tent in east hastings $4000/month real steal

[stone plover]

Where’s good poutine in Tokyo? Freeman shokudo only makes Reuben’s. Not Montreal smoked meat sandwiches

[stone plover]

Are you too a 604

I want nanaimo bars too, not 7 potatoes

[bright blade]

Air Canada does a popup at Akihabara station every once in a while, that's the only real poutine I've had here. McDonalds tried once, and it was an abomination

[stone plover]

Man I’m going back to Hong Kong

Even Shanghai has poutine and MSM’s - tocks started by a Montreal dude

[graceful crater]

That poutine looks so weak

I'm sorry

[bright blade]

tabarnak what is the cheese situation going on there. I could go for a real MSM though

[stone plover]

It does tbh

Changed chef

Lemme find an old one

Bah don’t have photos but it’s proper beef gravy and curds

[graceful crater]

Now THATS a MSM

[livid aspen]

To harry potter? I went there and really enjoyed it

[brazen dove]

I came here to escape this 🥲🥲🥲

[acoustic glade]

wtf where in nyc is this

[waxen dove]

id kill someone for this

looks good asl

[stone plover]

It’s Hong Kong

[brazen dove]

confirming there’s English songs to sing at karaoke?

[stone plover]

There’s also a karaoke and dinner thread here #1346040173753925724

Another one lol

[gloomy goblet]

It’s ALL Japanese songs only. 💀

[bright blade]

Definitely, lots. You can try your hand at Japanese songs too, after a cocktail or seven. We don't judge 🙂

[stone plover]

Didn’t know @bright blade was around

[bright blade]

I'm always around in Asakusa lol

[stone plover]

Yeah it’s a half day place for me. Cool neighborhood but kinda far

[bright blade]

I've been meaning to get out to the west side to meet some of the Discord people I see here all the time, but I'm up at 5:30AM every day for work, and I have a kid now. Hard to get over there

[stone plover]

At least you still show up it’s ok

Many of my friends, have kids and don’t come out

At least you are closer to the airport

Take the sky poor to Narita

[bright blade]

Only 1 month old now, but I might have to transition my identity entirely to dad soon. That's why I'm trying to throw all these events as of late.

[stone plover]

All my folks are beyond in the west side

If you don’t wanna organize

[bright blade]

The extra 1200 for the skyliner is always worth it, always

[stone plover]

Come to #1346040173753925724

I slot you in

[bright blade]

Dang, I already told the locals I would be here. I'll watch the nightlife thread in the future, though

[stone plover]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/MC8R7tcBnbU5tWKn6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

Pretty nasty business

[light compass]

I’ve been here

Multiple times

[stone plover]

Solid? Looks pretty good for price and location

[light compass]

Very cost effective

[stone plover]

It’s also shinjuku

Should have asked you in the first place

I really really don’t want gyukaku

There’s several in my town

[frosty pebble]

Yeah Noro was bad was throwing up and crapping water for a few hours

Been fine for a few months now tho

[stone plover]

Easy to book a table for larger groups than 6

[light compass]

Taste was the same at both locations

Really good deal for Wagyu

[frosty pebble]

Is this 6k AYCE ?

[light compass]

Yes

[frosty pebble]

I’d fw that

[paper marlin]

Thise looks fire

[stone plover]

@heavy saffron I accidentally locked my post #1346040173753925724

Can you unlock pls

[stone plover]

Gyukaku and other places drench their bad cuts with sauce. This looks good

But gyukaku is cheap and convenient

[faint tinsel]

Hi all! I'm 29M here from the US for the month for work, and would love to meet people in the evenings to hang out/food/drinks. Please let e know if anyone is interested!

Vs
7600 yen ** A4 Japanese**all you can drink

[pallid steppe]

Oh my word. Johnnivan

[livid aspen]

I'll splurge for good A4 lol

Im already spending a lot of yen lol

[livid aspen]

Everybody forgot about COVID 😂

Since 95% of people on this flight are Japanese I hope they all wear a mask 👀

[toxic arch]

[hallow gulch]

Norovirus is the fuckin worst man

[frosty pebble]

Tell me about it 😔

[waxen dove]

what the fuck is norovirus

[loud scaffold]

Yeah but my problem rn is the plane

[loud scaffold]

"winter vomiting disease"

😂

[acoustic glade]

You pee out of places you’ve never peed from

[waxen dove]

cant be that bad

[frosty pebble]

Like 4 hours of shitting water and throwing up water

[loud scaffold]

Well if it's only 4 hours 👀

[frosty pebble]

Yea the worst seemed to last for a night

[pallid steppe]

norovirus is similar to food poisoning

[waxen dove]

at least u gonna get out of it alive

[pallid steppe]

You basically need to use the restroom a lot

Vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, etc

[loud scaffold]

Better if you stay at the hotel 😂

[pallid steppe]

You will feel so bad you don't want to go out

I should know

I had it 2 weeks ago

well not norovirus, but food poisoning

[frosty pebble]

You can get dehydrated from all the vomiting and toilet usage

Was kinda scary tbh

[loud scaffold]

I had it after eating oysters

[pallid steppe]

Yeah but nothing 3 liters of pocari sweat won't fix!

[frosty pebble]

True that 😂

[cobalt wren]

It was so bad I started taking notes for how often I was getting up in the night to puke

Had to get an IV in the morning because I was so dehydrated

Literally do not know what I would have done without anti-nausea meds

You puke so much it stops burning because you’re out of stomach acid

[waxen dove]

yall clearly never had rabies before and it shows

[cobalt wren]

I got it on a ski trip last February. Fucking awful

Touché

[livid aspen]

As a nurse who cares for a lot of norovirus patients, they are brutal and very contagious. To the points even the nurses got sick and had to call out a lot

[waxen dove]

is norovirus contagious?

[pallid steppe]

Yes

Very

[waxen dove]

damn

is it common?

[cobalt wren]

I sure hope it’s uncommon

I’ve got a feeling it is common tho

@livid aspen what side of town are you on

[paper marlin]

I dont think it's common but you can get it easily if not careful

[livid aspen]

Still at ginza flagstore ginza. Want to meet us here?

[cobalt wren]

Yeah, since it will take time for me to get over there. I can figure myself out with my camera if you don’t want to meet up before dinner

That store is dope

[livid aspen]

Okay. Most likely will still be here. What's good restaurant in ginza

[willow onyx]

We microdosing rabies now?!

[frosty pebble]

You can’t drink water either cause as soon as you do you just puke it out

[cobalt wren]

Yeah :(

Found my notes

[livid aspen]

Where ya at?

[loud scaffold]

See you in 13 hours 🔥

[cobalt wren]

On the train

Very packed for some reason

[livid aspen]

It is rush hour?

[cobalt wren]

No

Might be my route

Actually maybe

[paper marlin]

Ugh I hate the hand tingle feeling

[cobalt wren]

Either way I’m currently headed to Bic Camera Ginza

[livid aspen]

Leaving ginza uniqlo, i can wait outside

[light compass]

Bruh the worst is the bile acid puke when ur just dry heaving and all that comes out is crazy strong acid that burns ur throat and all over ur mouth

[cobalt wren]

I’ll reroute there then

[frosty pebble]

This happened to me but it came out my nose as well as my mouth one time

😂 😂

[light compass]

Jesus 🤣

[cobalt wren]

Somehow I got to the point where it was just yellow. No burn

[willow onyx]

Do I go out to meet some of yall after I check in or do I just crash for the night?

[cobalt wren]

If you’re hungry you should catch dinner with us

[willow onyx]

Where yall grabbing dinner at?

[livid aspen]

Come come get food.

What do you feel like to eat for your first meal in Japan?

[willow onyx]

Something that’s not airline food😂 I’m open to anything when I can eat

[cobalt wren]

Yes

[wooden lichen]

Because Friday night 😍 I feel like they come out often on the weekends

They usually come around Tokyo tower and shibuya

[cobalt wren]

Ooooo

[wooden lichen]

Can’t get to Diakoku unless we have a car

[cobalt wren]

My small research into diakoku made it sound like a pain

I don’t really want to rent a car

[wooden lichen]

Im manifesting that i jump into some randoms R32 and they take me for a cruise HAHAHAHHAHA

yeah I don’t wanna hire a car aswell

An r32, r34 or a supra would be nice 😂

Or even an 86 😂😂

Am I pushing my luck

I know I will 100% see those cars around because last time I was in shibuya they all just park up and chill

[cobalt wren]

Sounds like fun, and hopefully the weather will be a bit warmer then

[wooden lichen]

Yeah I hope so aswell

[teal oracle]

R34 would be a stretch

Plenty of r32, r33s out there

All the r34s been exported abroad

[light compass]

You love r34

[stone plover]

Wish I was there. Know a car rental team that specializes in jdm culture and organizes trips to mt akagi

Stopped by mt akgai, aka akina

[teal oracle]

Did u inertia drift?

Anyone got an extra ghibli ticket today or this weekend? I cut my trip to Hiroshima short and traveled over because someone on buy/sell offered to sell me a ticket over a week ago, and 3 hours before they tell me they're selling it to someone else because they offered more money, didn't even offer me a chance to match it

Was it that kmc guy?

That’s REALLY f###ed up if he promised you the ticket and you changed your itinerary just to go and he didn’t come through.

[brisk stump]

I'm not going to publicly name people lol. I just wish I at least got offered the chance to match, as I probably would have as it's their ticket and I get not wanting to give up the bit of extra cash.

Anyway, I've got nothing to do now, anything cool going on in Tokyo today/this evening?

You bet there is #1258197429539311667 message

[gloomy goblet]

Well, whoever it was, they suck and they’re clearly not someone who can keep up their end of a deal.

[junior edge]

Please keep discussion meetup focussed

[brisk stump]

Sorry, apparently your events are goated so I'm down lol

[junior edge]

[naive wasp]

So the event is a live music type thing ?

[keen crown]

Also is it like short shorts and leather suspender kinda clubbing? Cause the leather was to heavy for my checked bag

[naive wasp]

Shorts in this weather ???

[willow onyx]

Straight wild.

[junior edge]

Yes and DJs

[naive wasp]

So how much is the entry after this, 1000¥?

[keen crown]

Weather means nothing in the right club.

[junior edge]

¥2500 + 1 drink order (¥600)

[keen crown]

In all seriousness what’s a probably too late to arrive time for this? I got a tour that I have no idea when will end

[junior edge]

Well there’s four live acts so it depends how many you want to see

[keen crown]

That’s kinda what I’m asking. I don’t know any of them and have no idea wether the later acts might be worth entry

I’m also not use to shows starting at 7/7:30. So not sure are they doing hour sets?

[junior edge]

Hold on I’ve got the timetable
19:30 New Babylon
20:20 Puff
21:05 Yellow Mo
21:55 Johnnivan

You can hear clips of them all in the Insta post

[keen crown]

Ok well that answers that. Doubt I’ll make it

Damn really not use to shows being over so early. Do they normally rotate back in at the end of the show?

[junior edge]

No, live music in Japan always ends by 10:30

It’s because of curfew rules (can’t have minors in the venue after that time) and in some places noise complaints

There are also all-night events, mostly on weekends, that start at 10pm or later and go through til 4 or 5am. These are 18 or 20+

[loud scaffold]

Yes and Shinjuku, at the ramen place I was the only foreigner 😂

[amber solar]

Ichiran is great when you are hungry and nothing else is open

[junior edge]
