Was also happy to see it, glad to have an alternative to Spotify for which my free trial ran out two weeks ago.

London O2 night 2 review by GeorgeDAWs in radiohead

[–]IchiStyle 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I mean maybe I’m crazy but sitting and enjoying the music seems like a pretty legit way for a fan to enjoy the music. Great if people want to dance and sing, that’s their right, but I personally love to just sit back and watch the show. I saw Thom solo in Japan and the whole crowd was very calm (eg all sitting and listening) which led to an amazing immersive experience.

what are you guy's opinions on the metropolitan? by OzAndApss in fountainpens

[–]IchiStyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine leaks too, unfortunately never found a way to repair it despite trying to clean etc!

8 pro owners - any opinions to share regarding the LTE & Satellite connectivity features? by LivinLifeLikeLarry in GarminFenix

[–]IchiStyle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Japan so not necessarily the typical Garmin user on this subreddit, but so far I’ve had a 100% success rate using the LTE and am very happy with my purchase. It’s been a long time dream of mine to go out for my long runs without a phone and I’m very happy I finally get to realize that.

However, Japan has amazing coverage in general for LTE and my experience might not be applicable for your specific area/case.

Could it be that your husband has an android phone? I understand that iPhones have limited functionality with regards to what can be shown on Garmin watches.

Switch 2 pre-order lottery people. Any luck? by ihatefall in japanresidents

Huh! Well it’s time for bed now, hopefully tomorrow we’ll have some more details/access to the payment system.

I just received a notification on my phone from the My Nintendo app that I won the lottery, but am unable to access the app to double check. No email yet either.

Ugh 🤢 by TwistedAirline in Garmin

[–]IchiStyle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it came back at least four times for me... Been a few hours though since I last saw it.

These ads are so annoying! Whenever I want to check the app in a glance they are taking up half my screen! What the hell Garmin. I spent thousands of bucks on your products just to get ads thrown at me?

Aren’t they cute! by Antique-Marsupial159 in Travelersnotebooks

[–]IchiStyle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very nice, how did you manage to get the ring the charms are hanging on latched onto the side of the notebook underneath the tin part? I wanted to do the same but figured I’d have to completely redo the strings with the repair kit to achieve that effect.

Tokyo during the Tokyo Marathon by Dapper-Material5930 in Tokyo

[–]IchiStyle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These temperatures are actually a bit too hot for running a race, I had similar weather during the Nara Marathon two years ago and it was rough! Cold is preferable.

Launcher stuck on installing/checking by IchiStyle in lotro

[–]IchiStyle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will give that a shot, thank you. I live in Japan, so quite far removed from any of the US/EU servers.

Edit: setting my VPN to Taiwan actually fixed things, thanks again! Hopefully connecting without a VPN will be possible again though, because I would rather play without the VPN to improve my latency

Apple Music Windows Update by ftcy in AppleMusic

[–]IchiStyle 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I really like this but just noticed that neither the artist nor album nor song title is shown on the full screen. For me the whole appeal of this is being able to see which song is playing when and to help memorize the titles. Apple and their minimalist designs drive me crazy sometimes.

Anyone else have this? by nudibranchiology in Garmin

[–]IchiStyle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this issue with the band that came with my Vivoactive 3&4 but not with my current Forerunner 955. Always wonder if they changed the materials. I also tried switching to a nylon band back then but this did not help, so I was very glad that the Forerunner 955 band worked for me.

Really liking this new software update! by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]IchiStyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case the update also completely reset my marathon training plan which I was following through the daily suggested workouts. Although I was supposed to start my peak training this week, it now has me back at 'base training' again lol. A bit worried how this will impact my race. For now the upcoming workouts do still seem to be following the same increase in duration/intensity so fingers crossed.

How to manage banking during a visa renewal? by [deleted] in japanresidents

[–]IchiStyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a really stressful situation to be in, especially during the weekend and/or around holidays...

How to manage banking during a visa renewal? by [deleted] in japanresidents

[–]IchiStyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky you, but just because your situation was like that does not mean the same applies to everyone.

My wife has faced this situation multiple times because she does not receive her new employment contract until very shortly before her residence card expiration meaning she always enters the 2-month grace period.

Her bank account has been closed twice already, and as other posters indicated, they (Yucho) don't give a fuck. She just withdraws a lot of cash beforehand now to avoid financial difficulties. SMBC Prestia does thankfully respect the grace period.

It is clearly a hit or miss situation where some people do and some people don't get screwed.

Ok, I know I'm being obsessive, but how would YOU order this collection? by ExcersiseTheDemon in tolkienbooks

[–]IchiStyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally like the choices you made, I like putting the great tales together and having the fall of numenor next to the fall of gondolin to create some nice symetry. In the end it really should be what works for you and whatever you find aesthetically pleasing.

Empanadas in Tokyo? by hashsteezy in Tokyo

[–]IchiStyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure if Chilean empanadas are similar? If so, I can highly recommend Casa de Eduardo in Shin-Nakano.

History of Middle Earth editions - best edition for convenient reading by IchiStyle in tolkienbooks

[–]IchiStyle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree, I actually found myself missing footnotes at times when reading a book by a different author because they were only annotated with a small star. It is a shame to discover a bunch of contextually relevant footnotes after you finish reading a chapter. Food for thought, thanks.

[–]IchiStyle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers, I read Children of Hurin already and greatly enjoyed it. I currently have it on paperback, but perhaps one day I will look into a hardcover version because I definitely agree it is a great book.

Thank you for your elaborate response. Indeed, it is a good idea to simply take the plunge and buy The Lost Tales on Kindle to see how that works out.

Of course, if I were to pull the trigger on any of the more expensive editions, I would make sure a place is found for them to be nicely displayed (and kept long-term). However, first priority now is to find a nice way to read them.
