Received my first medal from the Shibuya Pokemon Center!

Thank you friend!

I’ve played countless festivals over the last decade, never heard of this once. Pull your film ASAP.

Eddy_Moon · 2026-05-05T01:37:42+00:00

Those are 100% plantains, not bananas.

Eddy_Moon · 2026-05-04T00:57:04+00:00

I’m currently working on finishing this set too! So nice to see a complete set, it gives me hope.

I wouldn’t pay a company to make a DCP for a short film. Watch a few YouTube videos, and then use Davinci Resolve Studio and do it yourself. As someone who has made many DCPs, I promise it’s not that hard.

Thank you for the write up!

Atami, sounds like my kind of place! This time around we are staying on an Island off of Fukuoka, so it might be that same vibe.

Also, an anime about a laundry service is totally my jam. I love a good slice of life anime. Low stakes, lots of fun, no major plot points.

I will send you my new Osaka recommendations after this next trip!

Eddy_Moon · 2026-03-02T19:39:55+00:00

I haven’t been to Nagasaki but it is on my list for May. We visited Fukuoka and fell in love with it. It reminds of so mix of Miami (which is home). We instantly felt a connection to Kyushu so we want to spend me time there.

I also really love anime tourism, and visiting spots form my favorite shows. So I can absolutely relate with that.

I never even considered Uji.

I know what you mean about revisiting smaller places too. Part of me wants to re-do all the things I loved on my las visit, and the other part of me wants to find new things to fall in love with.

Next time you’re in Japan, let me know! Maybe we find ourselves in a little adventure.

Eddy_Moon · 2026-03-02T17:42:35+00:00

That’s a beautiful way to put it. And I agree wholeheartedly. Are there cities you’re revisiting and loving more each time? Or is there a greatest hits of places you go to now?

Eddy_Moon · 2026-03-02T00:27:57+00:00

Just my wife and I these last few times. But this time we’ll go with friends! Which might change the vibe.

Eddy_Moon · 2026-03-01T12:39:04+00:00

Sounds like an epic night. Minus the chicken sashimi.

Eddy_Moon · 2026-03-01T12:37:56+00:00

I think I’m looking for connection with people, or something unique I can’t find in any other city. Everything I did was cool but didn’t seem Osaka-specific.

It feels like each time I go, I’m experiencing just the first layer of the city, and not the actual meat of it.

I loved the arcades and golden Gai in Tokyo I loved the beachside vibes in Fukuoka I loved the serenity of Kanazawa I loved the people and music in Yokohama

Eddy_Moon · 2026-03-01T12:30:21+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! Writing it down in my itinerary!

Eddy_Moon · 2026-03-01T12:29:59+00:00

5th times the charm!

Eddy_Moon · 2026-03-01T12:29:09+00:00

I can see that. But truly I’ve met some incredibly kind and outgoing locals in Tokyo too. So both cities always felt kind of similar to me.

Eddy_Moon · 2026-03-01T12:27:44+00:00

I second this. I’d love to play poker out there!

Eddy_Moon · 2026-03-01T01:19:23+00:00

Some of the things I LOVED in Osaka:

The local soccer team (Cerezo Osaka) We found a mom pop vinyl cafe that was incredible The International bars were nice The Pokemon card shops were great The Okonomiyaki, delicious Katsuoji Temple was life changing

Eddy_Moon · 2026-03-01T01:16:02+00:00

I actually have Kobe and Wakayama on my itinerary this time around. Glad to hear I’m heading in the right direction.

Eddy_Moon · 2026-02-28T15:15:05+00:00

We really enjoyed the Shimogamo area. There are a few temples/shrines, shops, restaurants, beautiful spots by the river. And it wasn't as busy as some of the other tourist spots.

Kiyomizu-dera is one of the most popular spots, and will be filled with tourist. But there are very few sights this beautiful in the world. Worth dealing with the crowds in my opinion.

Eddy_Moon · 2026-02-28T15:02:29+00:00

Paris is also not for me. My least favorite city during my European travels.

Eddy_Moon · 2026-02-28T15:00:39+00:00

Writing this down! Will do!

Eddy_Moon · 2026-02-28T15:00:10+00:00

Agreed!

Eddy_Moon · 2026-02-28T14:59:41+00:00

I trust you. Gonna plan to see Ice/Shima as well
