This month, Mr. Kishimoto, the creator of Double Dragon and Renegade (Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun), passed away.
To pay tribute to this legendary creator beloved by fans around the world, I’m sharing a video from a few years ago of Yamaoh playing the drums.
Thank you for the wonderful memories. R.I.P.

れくいえむ!
I've translated the Tao Te Ching rap from A Chinese Ghost Story. And in this thread, I'm going to annotate every single line of lyrics, explaining all the jokes to you.
Let's speak some nonsense.
We continue our Chinese Folktales series with a video on Nie Xiaoqian, better known as A Chinese Ghost Story.

Yes it's also down the street from kamo to negi.
I've bought a couple of things from Hinoya over the years and window shopped whenever I got the chance to go to the actual retail spot. Pretty cool to see The Casual do a video about it:

Pokémon Red & Green sold poorly in Japan when they launched in 1996, only catching on months later. Apples and oranges, I know, but this is indicative of the shift in how execs at game publishers, streaming services, and Hollywood studios need instant results or they pull the plug. It's unhealthy.
Does feel pretty nice to get an easy 20-30K steps in on vacation. Missing the late night station to station walks.
HELL yeah
2026 is the Year of the Horse.

It's been about a year. I probably should load more songs on this thing.
Abroad in Japan just released a really well done and important video about the absolute slop fest of misinformation about Japan that is harder and harder to navigate through these days, highly recommended.

Rewatched Pushing Hands since I've only caught the last 30 minutes of it months ago on a group watch. Still have this shot stuck in my mind:
One of the weird things about this era was extremely expensive future-hardware that only adults (or rich kids) could afford marketing to the kids who all bought a Genesis because it cost $150 and TV told them it would make them cool. Axe deodorant-ass baby commercials for a $700 game console.
Hard to argue with steam reviews like this
The film was made around the time the Hanfu revival movement was entering the mainstream. Young Chinese otakus were reclaiming traditional Chinese aesthetics, and got called "weird" for doing so.
Since then, wearing Hanfu in public has been normalized. They've made old Chinese culture cool again.
Our Shining Days is a 2017 coming-of-age film set inside a music school. The story begins with a rivalry between the Chinese and the Classical orchestra. But when the school decides to phase out the Chinese orchestra, both sides come together to protest, resulting in this scene.
