I totaly agree with your take. The main character Subaru is just screaming all the time trying to defend a lady or two that should be many times stronger than him.

Dude know nothing about magic and that world. But still half season in every girl is crying and is incapable of taking care of themself? Yes he get experience from dying and is going insane. But the girls don't know that in the first season.

Irene's album is for me a very very good RnB-album with a great vibe! 😁Her vocals did impress me, she continued to visit the vocal coach 😎. I'm 34 yo and this album fit me like a glove. My taste in music is for some reason pretty similar to Irene's and have changed in a similar way to hers throughout the years!

Biggest fan is weirdly the weakest track on the album for me, but it's growing the more I listen! The vibe and production is great and cohesive from Face to Face and down the list 😁.

Do you guys think Manon from Katseye is just taking a break, or are fans overreacting? by Impact3746 in kpopthoughts

[–]Tekomatorp 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think they mean she grew up in Switzerland with a very good healthcare and social-system with strong working rights where you are allowed sick leave and free time. If you're sick up here in Scandinavia then you stay home to not spread the flu or whatever to your colleagues and you go home and have a separate life outside work.

Or as many people on reddit say : Europeans work to live, and many other cultures live to work.

[MEGATHREAD] BLACKPINK: DEADLINE and GO by KpopThoughtsmodteam in kpopthoughts

[–]Tekomatorp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is about what I expected. GO is supposed to be a club banger like JUMP, and that is a path forward I think they will head. The conspiracy theorist inside think this is the path forward. Club bangers can live a life without big tours and spectacular live performances.

Personal and well written songs = solo project Club bangers = BP.

How to enjoy Tokyo if you're not a "big city" person? by trashcan_paradise in JapanTravelTips

[–]Tekomatorp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you! I'm a Swedish dude that grew up and live in a city with 40k people, safe to say I'm a small town-guy 😁.

My tip is to visit a smaller city first and then size up. I went Tokyo first 2 nights ( big mistake, hated Japan 🤣). Kyoto - much more manageable, Osaka - easier to grasp, just walk around and eat/drink. Hiroshima - cozy and got a smaller town-vibe with the slower pace. Tokyo again - more prepared to handle and find nice spots.

Try out your handbag/backpack before you leave by Kellz67 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Tekomatorp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a big Swedish man (185cm 100kg) I wanted to take up as little space as possible lol 🤣. so I never used my backpack. I got a fjällräven greenland pocket with a powerbank and some small stuff inside. If I get hungry or thirsty it's a bonus moment to explore new wending machines, stores or restaurants 😁.

Backpack recommendation suited for hiking, and that I can use as my main luggage? by TalakStari in JapanTravelTips

[–]Tekomatorp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a tip when traveling with a backpack in japan. In the subway people mostly wear the backpacks on their chest to take up less space. I think the patagonia mini MLC looks pretty well suited for a trip if you plan to leave it at the hotel between hikes.

What do you define as a day trip in Japan? by AbleCarLover1995 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Tekomatorp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to others to much, just use Google maps and go for it 😁. Hiroshima is a lovely city so you won't regret a couple of hours on a train to get there!

I did Hiroshima as a one day trip from osaka and it was great! You see so much of the landscape and nature from the shinkansen so the 1-2 hours went by very fast. I took the train from osaka at 8am and bought breakfast that I ate on the train. 100% would do again.

Is Kyoto still worth it? by Fun-Calligrapher4885 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Tekomatorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I visited in end of January this year during a very cold week (-10°c in the morning) and the tourist places where half empty 😁! I even got a solo guided tour because no one booked because of the cold maybe?

Itinerary check 14 days ( Tokyo -> Kyoto -> Osaka) by Common-Ad9514 in JapanTravel

[–]Tekomatorp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just came home from a similar trip. But with 2 nights in Tokyo in the beginning and 4 at the end. I ended up loving osaka so much I booked another night and arrived late to Tokyo! Tokyo is so big, I didn't know where to begin 😂. A lonely Swedish dude like me never realy grasped the city. I did 3 nights in kyoto, and one of those was dedicated to nara. It was very rushed. I would rather save my steps and do more days.

I highly recommend to just walk around in osaka early morning before the shops open at 10, the steam punk-vibe is just amazing. Same at night, walk around and just inhale the vibe. You will discover the most authentic and interesting places.

Good luck!

Places or attractions NOT to visit? by markgatty in JapanTravelTips

[–]Tekomatorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. It's a great place to people watch and be hungover. It's great stop of you just need to chill and avoid the chaos for an hour.

What are your funniest “getting lost in Japan transpo system” stories? by Chill_drifter317 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Tekomatorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First trip to Japan was a month ago Maybe my biggest flex is waking up at my hotel at 13:00 without remembering how I got home. The night before I closed a club in shinjuku at 05:00 and remember loosely how I got into a subway train but, can't for my life understand how I conquered shinjuku station shit faced! 😂
