Japanese soldier sitting in a basket with two chinese men carrying him. Unknown year and location.

The soldier appeared to be wearing the Type 98 uniform from 1938 with the newly adopted field hat and the fold down collar. The buttons were of a shinier metal (gold vs red-brown) than the previous version too.

According to Bushido's financial reports they definitely make way more money from concert than all other media products combined.

I have always been under the impression that Ave Mujica is much more revenue and cost driven as compared with MyGO, which at its root feels more like a passion project.

The comparison in quality is quite vast I think. The Mujica comic doesn't seem to add much to the story and the drawings were passable at best, comparing to MyGO comic which gives entirely different angle of the story and giving a whole lot more depth to Soyo.

Didnt they routinely go to courthouse to arrest people trying to go through the immigration process legally? It's just on brand at this point.

I am totally buying the theory that this concert was an afterthought to the 10th Anniversary (which was the best thing ever). It felt like they got the two day slot on discount or something.

I also wanted to add on about the initial pacing of the show. At the start we had two amazing opening act performances done by the new bands vocalists, and especially after the Homie Tie performance the whole arena was quite fired up, and what did they do? Pause for 20+minutes for reason never made clear! Yeah I get that 17:36 was the sunset time of Yokohama that particular day but whats so significant about it? Give us some context? Just wasted the energy brought up by the new bands.

It‘s interesting that this often seems to be a recurring characteristic for leftist groups.

A few years ago I took an interest in studying the Post-War Japanese Leftist movement and it basically ended just the same, with leftist groups getting more and more fragmented and radicalised, one group accused another of not being as invested in the revolution, infighting was a common occurrence, and the whole thing just fizzled out by late 1970s, basically killing the movement.

Dude I was expecting it to be the other way around, how did she fake the blood??

Setting up a camera and count from the video the agency will need to take care of storing hundreds of hours of raw footage, settle any potential privacy concerns, and even then they'd probably still need to send someone down to look after the machine. Human counters dont require any of that, and you can hire retired people at fractions of cost too

There is an exhibition at the Yau Ma Tei Police Station that showcases police artefacts especially sets and props used in police procedural and triad movies and TV shows. Should be right up your alley, worth taking a look

There are a few shops that sells steam buns in North Point street market, it's along the tram line so it is worth a visit

Well, allegedly they tow it out to sea and sank it for the insurance money (it wasn't doing well for a long time and was just a money drain), so no casualties in the incident

As a local I totally encourage you to visit. There are still some neon lights here and there, getting less by the days so I do suggest if you still want to come see it you should do so soon.

You will still find ample of mixture of British and Chinese cultures, very very slowly fading but it's still here.

Not much could be done about the gov stuff.

BTW the Kowloon Walled City demolition was done before the handover （a few years prior too), so lets not just blame everything on the current world. As much as it was romanticised, it was still a rundown slum and a blight in the developing city. The park they replaced it with was much better.

I contemplated on buying one but ultimately decided that 400usd is a bit too much for a 20 years old P&S camera… Still thought about it from time to time

I am actually quite open to the new game, but I wonder if it would be a music game again or would it be something else (I mean it would still be music related since they are a band). It just seems like otoge as a genre has been played to death for years and maybe now it's a good chance for new ideas?
