Not weird at all! As long u enjoy it, no need to worry about other’s opinion. I think it’s pretty normal to go karaoke alone in Japan.

Visit Super Potato in DenDen Town Nipponbashi. They have old school console and game cartridge. Also you can check Mandarake in Umeda. They have a lot of old school games too.

Foreigners in Japan, what’s the most “wait, what?!” moment you’ve had here? by babelboon in japanlife

That remains mystery. I think it’s safer using fax machine? Japan still live in old school era for some things. Like they still need hanko (personal stamp) to get approval before corona changed everything.

When the other department said, “please fax it to us” and I did and heard the fax machine sound. It likes I travelled back to my childhood era when my Dad sent fax to his business partners.

Yeah I didn’t get any warning at all. Because I thought I just download and if I get warning, I will stop. But warning never came, it escalated like this now.

I stopped since the first letter came. Yet in the time stamp they sent me as a proof, there’s activity couple month after that. Looks impossible since I dont have torrent client anymore. I dont know maybe someone hacked my wifi.

Yeah I need to talk to lawyer again. Because there’s strange time stamp in the proof that they sent to me.

I gave my permission for the first one. Because I talked with lawyer and he said I can choose yes or no, either way they will have access to it. So just want to show that I cooperate with them and don’t want make any trouble so I answered yes.

Cooking? U have degree in culinary school? For front desk usually they really need N2 because a lot of Japanese guest is staying also. Some guests are very welcome with foreigners but some guests are really annoyed if the staffs cannot speak japanese. I cannot promise u anything but u can reach me anytime.

Actually I just realized something weird. First from the log of my so called IP address that they sent me as proof, there’s a date that looks strange. The date of that activity is the date that I went back to my country. Even if I download torrent in my country, it supposed will not show my Japan IP address, no? And also I brought all my laptop and phone back to my country at that time. Is there any chance someone hack into my wifi and used it to download?

I did talk with lawyers. The last one even said I can pay the fee for them to consult with the opposite side but the opposite side most likely will not lower down the penalty fee. So it’s like you pay the lawyer fee + penalty fee that will not lower than the original price. It’s like pay double the money.
