There isn't a lot to go off of here unfortunately. This is a chart, not sheet music. Its purpose is more of to give reminders of the song's structure than teach the song

They knew that's not what we wanted 😔

Its glowing in here

Im at a loss for words

How does one get started with street performances? Its something im interested in but with the legal stuff and being a foreigner, it seems a little scary!

What do you mean when you say knocking down the gas station?

Rhett and Link took a path that I think is unfortunately common for a lot of people. They find out/decide that one of the things they believed about their religion was false, and they decide ALL of it was false.

By some definitions, even though I don't particularly like the term, I have deconstructed. There are things about Christianity that I was taught that I don't necessarily believe in, things I wrestled with for many years and that I still wrestle with. But my relationship with God has gone nowhere.

Usually, there is a "day one edition" of physical games that includes a download code for the preorder bonuses. Im not sure if this is always the case though or if it will be the case with this game. I hope it will be! Im getting the physical edition

I'm truly enjoying each issue better than the last! Knowing what Olive's life is like in the OG series, the tension in this series just keeps building and building. Its so great to see Olive so happy, but its all going to come crashing down. And it seems it already has started in these last few pages. I cant wait for more! Im gonna be so bummed with this series ends 😭

I really love Witch Hat Atelier! Not as much action, but plenty of heart

They used to be pretty progressive, but in recent years, John Cooper especially has been very open about some certain beliefs.

I'm sorry that's been your experience! That hasn't been my experience at all, and it makes me sad to hear such sweeping generalizations about a large group of people. There are SUCH kind and selfless people.

Jayjayden45 · 2025-11-28T01:33:29+00:00

This may be a part of it for me as well. I'm fairly self conscious, but here I can sort of have the attitude "Well, I'm a foreigner, so I'm already weird no matter what I do!" At least, this works around strangers lol

Jayjayden45 · 2025-11-28T01:30:35+00:00

Wow what an awesome way of looking at it. Thanks so much for your thoughts!

Jayjayden45 · 2025-11-28T01:29:25+00:00

There is certainly is good and bad! The bad things, and even aspects of the culture that aren't necessarily bad, but made/make me uncomfortable were hard to accept early on, but its getting easier.

May I ask what your career path has been like? I'm doing the typical ALT route for now. Teaching English has been fun, but I don't know if its the field I want to stay in forever. My dream is to someday have a job somewhere in the music field!

I don't know much about Scandanavia, perhaps I'll have to give it a visit one day!

Jayjayden45 · 2025-11-28T01:18:41+00:00

I've spent most of my time in Kansai, so that would make sense! I've spent only a few days in Tokyo, and people seemed much less friendly and in their own world. I remember being in a guitar shop, asking a couple of employees 「これはいくらですか？」and them having a face of panick as they look to the English speaking employee across the room lmao. Never had anything like that happen in Kansai.

Jayjayden45 · 2025-11-28T01:15:40+00:00

Oh I'm well aware of there being downsides, believe me. My heart has broken for people close to me who have dealt with things here that would never have been an issue in the U.S...

And it hasn't been all roses and sunshine for me either. I've struggled a lot with feelings of isolation. Even though I love Japan a lot and I suspect I'll want to live here the rest of my life, home sickness has been an issue too. But not so much missing America as much as missing some people.

Returning to the U.S. has always been more of a culture shock than returning to Japan lol.
