things i've learned from Richard Hammond's trip to Shanghai in this video from Upspeed on Bilibili:
1) non-zero chance FinalGear is the middleman of unofficial TopGear to China subbing pipeline;
2) nobody mentions Huawei by name

Four guys (From left: Jacky, Richard, DK, Ah Sheng) in front of three cars (BYD Yangwang U9, Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, Huawei Maextro S800) standing on a makeshift runway in front of the Shanghai skyline split into two. There is Chinese text above the four guys.

Also copped this copy of Sadao Watanabe’s Morning Island LP so Masayoshi Takanaka isn’t lonely in my vinyl records box.
Record sleeve for Morning Island by Sadao Watanabe, held by left hand in front of a wall. The cover depicts a mustached Japanese man with a receding hairline smiling with his teeth out, wearing a mustard yellow jacket with the sleeves rolled up and a pink napkin on the collar, hands on a round table with white linen containing a fork and knife pair and a glass of water, on a rooftop overlooking the Empire State Building. The album still has its original obi strip on the left side with details such as the album name, record label, performers, and price.

found a Japanese copy for a 20-track Tom Jones LP that doesn’t have any of the hits a 2000s kid like would know. no “It’s Not Unusual”, no “Sex Bomb”, but they still bang regardless. I’ve only listened to 1/4th of it and “You Keep Me Hanging On” stands out for me so far.
A white Audio Technica Sound Burger player playing a vinyl record with a blue label, behind it is the hardbook sleeve for the record: A MAX 20 album featuring Tom Jones wearing a tux. These are presented on a table with a large pink mousepad, a flatscreen monitor, a keyboard, a webcam, and a wireless charger stand.

oh for fuck's sake
Back of greeting card held by right hand. On it is the official seal of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, depicting a white five-petal bauhinia on a red circle. Text below it reads "Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China" in English and Chinese. On the lower left corner is a logo and text, which reads "Designed by Hong Kong Generative AI Research & Development Center" in English and Chinese. Closer look of the same lower left corner of the greeting card, with text which reads "Designed by Hong Kong Generative AI Research & Development Center" in English and Chinese, and a logo which looks like an abstract representation of a multicolored bauhinia and the side profile of a human head combined together.

Today is the Hong Kong General Elections, which had a low voter turnout in previous years.

The volunteers hand voters this greeting card as a way of saying thanks.
Greeting card held by left hand, depicting three ballot boxes with faces in front of the Hong Kong skyline, above them is Chinese text in white. Open greeting card held by left hand, text in English and Chinese, with three ballot boxes with faces holding hands flying to the right. Text in English reads: "Thank you for voting. Together we create the future!"

Just visited an RC parts shop that’s 30mins away from my office during the lunch hour to buy a replacement battery for my transmitter only for the old man to sell me a NiMH pack that isn’t in their online catalog.

They finally did it in the recent update.

Oguri mogging the pack in the final push after a spell of straight losses was nice to see in this "Extra issue". Getting squeezed by Vodka and Digitan didn't stop her.
Screenshot from Umamusume Pretty Derby showing the Twinkle Monthly Extra overlay featuring the winning runner. Image in overlay depicts Umamusume Oguri Cap in front of a clear sky, with Umamusume Vodka poking at the bottom right. Top subtitle reads "What an Impact!", bottom title reads "Oguri Cap Takes Center Stage", writeup at the bottom of the image reads "Oguri Cap beats a field of formidable racers to take first in Round 2 of the Virgo Cup! She remained rock steady while chasing the pace, guaranteeing her the victory. If she's this good already, we've got a lot to look forward to." A "Winner's Interview" section is shown at the bottom featuring the winning runner and a box showing their response to a question. Query reads "A word to the fans who've always supported you!" and the response reads "Your cheers are the fuel that keeps me running. I hope you all will continue to support me."

it’s great there’s a label out there making japanese citypop staples accessible to new collectors.

judging from the liberties in labeling to appeal with a western audience, my guess is A-side of Konbini Klassics vol 3 is Anri’s “悲しみがとまらない ~I Can’t Stop The Loneliness~” which released yesterday.
Screenshot of Safari for iOS featuring the deejay.de website. The overlaid pucture features thumbnails of two black labels, and the main image on top features the label for Konbini Klassics KK 003-A featuring a song by ANRI titles “Gone With Sadness”.

anybody here collecting vinyl ever heard of konbini klassics? i bought one of two of my local record man’s copy of the Junko Yagami 黄昏のBay City repress and its ayt. hope nothing scummy is happening behind the scenes with this mystery label.
7” vinyl single inside a paper sleeve with its black label shown in a circular window, inside a plastic case, held by left hand in front of pink textured wall. Label shows the Konbini Klassics logo (two Ks facing each other with a roof above so it looks like a house) with the name of the publisher in latin and katakana, the publisher code KK 002-A, the playback speed of 45rpm, the name of the artist misspelled as “Junko Yagamai”, a shortened title “Bay City”, and the playback time 04:07.

the packaging of the 2011 CD re-release of Anri’s TIMELY!! album looks like a shrunk-down version of what you’ll get in the vinyl release
The contents of TIMELY!! by Anri (CD release, 2011) spread out on a massive pink surface. Clockwise from upper left: obi strip with the name of the album; the paperback sleeve containing the CD with the album art depicting palm trees on the top half and the artist in front of a white wall looking at a spyglass on the bottom half, the artist’s name is on the right side and the album’s name on the left; a sea blue CD inside a plastic sleeve akin to ones used on vinyl records; a poster that’s 4x the size of the sleeve with visible fold marks, the image depicting Anri holding an umbrella in front of a blurred-out beach; a 2012 calendar featuring Anri with her left hand covering her left eye while wearing a sun hat that doesn’t cover her scalp.

Came across this retail box of trading cards on my lunchtime stroll as I perused a warehouse full of surplus goods. Rice Shower caught my attention, then everybody else in it got me confused.

It’s an oddly-topical hodgepodge of anime girls trading card gacha thing.
A retail box full of sealed trading card pouches on a shelf full of similar products. The display flap has the name of the product written in gold stylized Chinese text and depicts five characters: Rem from Re:Zero, Chika Fujiwara, Rice Shower, Yuuka Hayaze from Blue Archive, and Furina from Genshin Impact. Two other characters ate depicted on the front of the box, and another set of three characters are featured on the pouches.

I also got the 2x LP 10th anniversary version of the Prom King album in transparent yellow vinyl.

I didn’t think he’d do it when be replied in his Twitter AMA but Skylar Spence actually included THREE versions of Fall Harder in this release.
Close-up image of a transparent yellow vinyl with a black label for Prom King by Skylar Spence. The label suggests this is Side D of the album featuring tracks 16 to 19: Song For Rio, Fall Harder (Single Mix), Fall Harder (Demo), and Affairs (Demo).

it ain’t Pepsi
White Saint Pepsi logo (comprising of the late-2000s Pepsi logo with a halo and wings) on a sealed black 7” vinyl single cover. It has a barcode sticker and a country of origin label with the phrase “Made In Czech Republic” written on it. It is inside an open cardboard case, held down by my left thumb.

since when did Disney have a girl chipmunk in their character roster?
Subway train door with decal. Right door depicts scene from a Disneyland parade featuring Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Daisy Duck, and Minnie Mouse riding a swirly float. Left door depicts a chipmunk character akin to Chip & Dale but has elongated eyelashes common with Disney’s female characters and is wearing a pink dress with silver details.
