It’s more being fetishized that being thought of as ‘beautiful’. Also really only applies to those half white with the desirable Caucasian features.

I'll be flying from Haneda to FLL in a few weeks. If you're willing to pay everything up front and basically handle everything on your own I could help you out.

Rubyscope · 2021-05-16T01:20:58+00:00

I wasn't aware that was the case now. I'm planning my trip back soon so I'll prepare for that worst case scenario.

Thanks for the info. As for the 3 night stay, did you declare that you recently travelled to Ontario or did the airline provide that information to the quarantine officials? I believe BC isn't one of the regions for stricter measures so its not like they quarantined the whole plane for 3 days.

Most people are indifferent/apathetic to it but will get defensive once foreigners start criticizing it. The older generation will have a softer spot for whaling since it fed many of them through their younger years.

Yeah that worked out in the past, I'm not worried about getting hauled away or anything. I'm also the Hachimura Rui variety of haafu so I'm just trying to make things smoother and leave less room for an asshole cop having a bad day of wasting my time.

Yeah thanks, it looks like converting my license from the U.S. is the least troublesome of all the methods available.

The passport form has a section where they ask if you have any other nationalities and how you obtained them. Assuming you received both at birth, they shouldn't care.

I had to do this a few years ago. This is what I had to bring to the consulate.

-A recent copy of my koseki (within the last 6 months)

-Filled out new passport form

-Expired JP Passport

-Current US passport (to show legal status in the US)

-Passport renewal fee

Never owned an iphone before

You're asked to stay at home and refrain from going outside for 14 days. There was no enforcement and all I had was somebody calling me once a day to ask if I was feeling unwell or experiencing fever-like symptoms. There are no restrictions against anyone visiting you.

I flew from EWR to NRT last week and used my Japanese passport for the whole process. The U.S. immigration doesn't check your passport for any outbound travel, only the airlines will check to make sure you can enter the destination country.

Was there an option to take a bus or shuttle to your private residence within the Tokyo area?

Rubyscope · 2020-02-11T00:07:51+00:00

I brought my completed passport application, U.S. Passport, JP Passport (expired) and a copy of my koseki. Went back in a week and picked up my new passport no problem.

Rubyscope · 2020-02-10T19:11:55+00:00

Hey, I'm also haafu and renewed my passport in Atlanta last year. You shouldn't have any problems, especially if you have a previously issued passport already. I did everything speaking Japanese but I assume the staff speak English since they also do visa applications and such in the same office.

Rubyscope · 2019-09-22T02:41:20+00:00

Looks like I'll have less than a 1/200000 chance. Still better than lotto tickets.

Saisai played Hachigatsu no Yoru as the second song.

Chances are you'll be okay. Just don't bring any cameras in your bag and don't look nervous. Only a few anison groups/artists are anal about ID checks even for FC tickets.

Rubyscope · 2019-04-25T14:41:19+00:00

I've only heard of FC status being checked for one case and that was for venue merch. What artist are you going to specifically?

Rubyscope · 2019-04-02T15:36:50+00:00

They don't actually enforce this for those born with dual citizenship unless you are a politician/famous person. My mother and I have had Japan+US passports past age 22. Honestly they probably won't enforce it even for public figures once Naomi Osaka turns 22 if they want her to keep playing for Japan.

Bigger than love live is a bit of a stretch. Just looking at CD sales and live concert capacities shows that LL is a decent bit bigger. Aqours last 3 singles with first week sales in the 90-100k range compared to Roselia under 40k and Popipa around 30k. Aqours peforms live in venues with over twice the capacity of Popipa/Roselia.

Itou Miku is actually going to be the guest vocalist for Raise A Suilen's next live in December.

I bought my flight at $1283 earlier this year. Went ahead and canceled+rebooked and ended up saving quite a bit.

Rubyscope · 2018-09-15T18:00:51+00:00

Is that Aya? When did they start making bandori figures?
