And I bought the complete Mezon Ikkoku set wide edition. It is a kanzenban (complete) edition which means it is lightly larger than regular manga size. I prefer to buy kanzenban editions because they are easier to read and better to admire the air.
However, we were not here for okonomiyaki but for monjayaki. That is half a tako-rice at the bottom right which is an okinawan food.
First time having monjayaki. What you do is let it cook then move the side and then use a small scrapper to scrap the burnt bits off the teppan.
Went to sumibiyki Ichikizuna which was a yakitori place where you grilled the meats like a yakiniku. That my friends, is the first raw deer/shika meat that I have ever eaten and it was good.
This was stewed ox tongue and was very good.
Chicken parts for grilling. Not as good as yakiniku but still good.
I waited until 7pm to eat at Issou in Nakasu. There was already a line before opening most of them were people who worked in Nakasu so it was a very colourful wait.
Had to get Alan Wake 2 from Yodobashi. Very hard to find any copies anywhere else which means it is not popular and Bic Camera was more expensive. Not looking forward to FFXVI since it has turned into DMC but I have been told the graphics are worth seeing.
All the shops in Solaria Plaza were crazy expensive but the food at the top floor were decently priced!
New Abe Hiroshi movie about a hostage situation at tv station's newsroom. Will write about the 2 movies I saw later.
From Fukoka International airport. Goodbye Kyushu. So many things I wanted to eat but there is never enough time. I wanted to try Mohican ramen and I didn't even go to Hacchan! To be honest, I had to much Hakata Ramen in the middle and had to stop for a while. Endless amazing food to eat in Kyushu and now I have to pretend Japanese food doesn't exist.

Mezon Ikkoku (on vhs) with a good crt tv is a fun watch. Directors really used that vhs/crt bloom to full effect.
Also love the boofy hair of this periods manga style. When you first come across them they feel so strange, but once you see the movies of the time you realise it's just period correct (Yoriko Douguchi's hair in "Bumkin Soup" is a joy)
Hey HamsapSukebe,
Just curious if you have noticed if the current and very different style of cosmetic surgery post pandemic has started to filter down to the general Japanese population yet? Or ,is it still isolated to "tarento"?
I have yet to come to grips with the sudden and almost all pervasive loss of cheeks - given that look has almost defined a Japanese beauty standard for probably the past half century. I wasn't surprised when it hit the South Korean entertainment industry once the homegrown Chinese market influence really took off...but didn't think it would cross over to the Japanese market with this speed or to the extent it has.
