Hi! I am moving some of my favorite memes about Japan that I’ve made over the years across the abyss to a pinned post over here, so that we all may have a happy, new life together. Depending on how well you know me, this 🧵 will either be my informal self-introduction, or a blast from the past.

A joke map of Tokyo’s Yamanote line, with all the station names “liberally” translated into English.

This one is forward. I’ve gotten braver with my filming I suppose…

It was funny every time.

Yes those were all there. I haven’t seen the Pokémon, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there!

You are correct though 😂

Would have to be closer to Shinjuku for that and you know how I feel about western Tokyo

In the unlikely event that I don’t already, I will follow back anyone who can name all the trains in this video 😎

Or I’m pretty sure it’s shimbashi because the poster in the beginning is kind of iconic. I’m not sure though I shortened the video before speeding it up…

Close. Out of Shinbashi on the Keihin Tohoku line.

Gaijin Mommy @gaijinmommy.bsky.social · 1h

Yes, yes, yes and yes. Not bad at all.

Gaijin Mommy @gaijinmommy.bsky.social · 2h

Yes

Gaijin Mommy @gaijinmommy.bsky.social · 3h

👍

Knowing more Tokyo trains than you should is not a thing. Thank you for your understanding.

It is too bad I already follow you because I would be hitting that button so hard right now 🏆

Gaijin Mommy @gaijinmommy.bsky.social · 7h

That is beyond the scope of even what my kid would know, so I think we’re ok.

Gaijin Mommy @gaijinmommy.bsky.social · 7h

There was one blue local one that could have been either that or the Sobu kaisoku, but I think my kid said it was another Joban, which is sometimes blue too.

Gaijin Mommy @gaijinmommy.bsky.social · 7h

We all need his help 😂

Gaijin Mommy @gaijinmommy.bsky.social · 7h

I only know because my kid tells me 😆
