It was on the second or third floor if I recall, and it’s a small section—I’d say it was 34% female and 66% male tbh. I think TrioDX is the better shout since their H!P section was the biggest I saw…
Some of it was kinda old (I think I got stuff as old as 2017), but most of the stuff in those stores deal with current/active members. I actually had a hard time finding the real OGs: even Sayu was hard to find.
If you don’t mind older stuff, TrioDX in Akihabara was pretty good! Mandarake in Nakano Broadway also had some good deals. 👍🏽
Jokes, not Manatso no kousen: Furusato fades out though!
I forgot I shared this, but I probably wouldn't be able to fill one of those old burned CDs with fadeout songs...
The only two I can think of immediately are Graceful World by every little thing and Manatsu no kousen by Morning Musume.
All right fellow wotas, anywhere else I need to check in the Tokyo area other than the H!P Official Store, Mandarake, and Surugaya?
If anyone has any recent thrift store or secondhand store recommendations too, I would appreciate it! :)
(I'm willing to train outside Tokyo, fyi)
I should've specified either Switzerland, France, or Luxembourg for the "French language song"...
I’m not all that much following Eurovision anymore, but I will be severely disappointed if Portugal doesn’t qualify and a French language song doesn’t come Top 3.
Interestingly enough, Japanese music may also not have as many fade outs either... getpocket.com/explore/item...
I'm debating if I want to do that or stick with having registered my interest with Nintendo... 😅
Considering they’re all separate on 🍎 Music, I can see them teasing us with the pre-2014 material. 👀
I think Morning Musume, s/mileage, and Kobushi Factory would be enough to make the current wota rabid for the eventual release of the current groups.
If they randomly drop this week, I assume it's the rest of the back catalog. I wouldn't be surprised if they lump in s/mileage with this group (and possibly Morning Musume w/o the years), then release the current groups (incl. the '14+ Musume) in May or June.
Now imagine if this new Rhythm Heaven game slapped harder than what UF gives Morning Musume: par for the course for H!P fans, but devastating at the same time.

Oh wow, I skipped the one song, and honestly it's Switzerland or France for me. Personally I love Portugal, which I hope can at least make it to the Final.
I didn't think there was strong correlation between the last winner (or high placers) and the following year's entries, but this year has a lot more experimental sounds and male(-presenting) soloists.
(I also decided to comment on the KR situation on the other site since I didn't really lose followers there. If we still had variety shows, no one would really care.)
I don't want to say it's a weak year, but so far I haven't really heard anything that's floored me like past years' winners... Great songs in the mix, but nothing that stands out as a potential addition to the hall of fame. #Eurovision
Signed my interest earlier today! Glad they have a method to prevent scalpers.
I assume they think people would go for discounted Switches instead of going straight for Switch 2 if they didn’t own one before….?
NGL, I'd get the Switch 2 just for the Yakuza game...
(I guess I gotta adjust my spending budget!)
My guess is the fear of retribution/retaliation *despite the law* based on the way cuts are happening in the last three months.
I really don't know how we're gonna get out of this mess without the country burning down, tbh.
*Please* tell me law schools are freaking out about Wisconsin. 🥲
Maybe I can do the same by selling myself to the reds… 👀😂
Anyone play Return to Dark Tower? My friend has the game, and stumbled upon what we think is an impossible scenario. 💀
I think we’re at 6 straight losses. 😂
When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public
Oh boy, it’s a good thing I actually have a semblance of disposable income now… 😅
I guess I also need to budget out Tomodachi Life, Rhythm Heaven, and Hot Shots Golf... haha.
