Every so often I remember this song by SEKAI NO OWARI and truly think to it as one of the best songs of the last few decades

Honestly, the album this is on, Tree, has multiple all-timer songs on it

The concept of a Japanese idol posting a dance of a 2015 song and saying they feel old for remembering it

I've been thinking about this for days and spiraling over it

Oh yea never posted this here but

Yesterday I got a guitar for free from a friend! First time having one since I was a teenager, but it’s a decent one in good condition and just needs new strings to be good as new

So I’m maybe looking at grabbing some this evening while I’m out

It was a big success :3

Maaaaaybe planning a round two with a different show too
For the evening…

I’m introducing friends to the world of Takarazuka! I’ve warned them, but they’re ready!

Last month, I had the honor of interviewing Frank Wildhorn, the legendary Broadway composer and mind behind the Death Note and Your Lie in April musicals, alongside many others

We talked about 25 years of his work reaching audiences in Japan and much, much more

Small but neat, appreciated a lot of free audio narration not just reading out but adding to it from Ado

Also became Ado (entered Ado Box and had my puppet record vocals)

I’m just here to nerd out (in a few hours, my entry time is later)

Accidentally got myself wrapped inside of and breaking up a fight between an old man and a younger women after getting caught in the middle of it in the middle of the train platform

We won :3
YESSSSS!!! BRIAN BROBBEY!!!

I was about to complain about a weak goal Sunderland conceded, but we pulled it back within a minute

Hard to complain!

Also, for those who know: I touched the ball

Also I’m rescinding this advice, the place I stood before stepping back a tiny while bit was the exact area Utaha threw a signed towel and I probably would’ve got that if I stayed

(I still think this is good advice but ooft)
My cheat code for Zepp venues is that it’s way better to go a tiny bit back if you can guarantee both center and one of the standing bars to lean a jacket and bag on

Get as close as you can, but I stepped back a meter or so to get that

(I’m also tall and wearing platforms so not worrying tho)

Wednesday Campanella live a lot of fun, though Utah’s has certainly fallen into the TikTok brainrot for the not-insignificant amount of time spent discussing Japanese TikTok memes

(and calling everyone but the family section old for not knowing them but I DID… which may or may not be good)

If I can be a little vain about it, the quiet around Zepp Haneda does provide some great sunset spots for photos, mind
January 17, 2026 at 7:48 AM
Anyhow I’m here to see Wednesday Campanella. First time in a while as other commitments have impeded getting to her stuff

Last time I saw her was at the outdoor stage in Hibiya Park, a 3-man with Atarashii Gakkou and Chelmico (incredible setlist), where I also got the shirt I’m wearing today signed

No greater metaphor than the shop and souvenir space being clean and bright and entirely empty

When you get excited to go to a concert on a Saturday, only to remember it’s at Zepp Haneda 😔

The venue is great! It’s just situated in the literal no-man’s land known as the Haneda Innovation City, a place whose only innovation is empty lots sparsely populated exclusively by restaurants

ChatGPT sucks anyhow, but I just saw the examples of how they’re starting to introduce ads and it’s both funny and very dystopian

That person wearing the cute outfit on the train is currently listening to My Chemical Romance’s The Black Parade

(It’s me, I’m that person)
