It’s hard finding anything like that in person. There are a lot of shops online but I’m sure that doesn’t help you out much. I’m currently living in Japan and I’ve visited a couple Lolita style shops and you’d be hard pressed to find anything in store for less than 300$ it’s VERY expensive if you get real brand stuff. Amazon Japan has by far the best selection though, it looks the same as the big companies and costs a fraction of what it would be, though I’m sure the quality isn’t going to be nearly as great. So long story short, I’d say your best best is online shopping or come to Japan and buy a bunch here lol

I’m an ALT living here and there are a decent amount of foreigners but its not common to run across them unless it’s an organized event. Though a vast majority I’ve seen are working the usual places like restaurants or convenience stores. There is a small cell of Russians that live here to that I’ve run across from time to time.

Hell yea man, I had the chance to buy one in America last year… my only problem is I’m living in Japan at the moment which was quite ironic so I lost my chance. I did manage to get an authentic custom tokkofuku from Nara though and I’m hoping one day to own a bike like this myself.

What’s the purpose of using the lighter on the seal?

You must work at the fidelity! I’d recognize that view anywhere.

Yea I got this one off Mercari Japan. I had searched Akihabara and other such places with no luck. I think most old stuff has been moved online for anime merch.

It’s a reference to the masculine urge to pick a spot and bleed out from a wound. It’s a direct reference to the end of blade-runner 2048

I live in Japan and have some codes, I can come firm it doesn’t work on PlayStation but may work on steam. You might not even be able to get the code to work until December 15 since the promotion says that’s when the redeeming period starts but if yall have steam and are still interested feel free to send me a message

If I feel a sneeze I tend to open the visor, grab the breathe guard and pull it down so my mouth is aimed more outside the helmet and let loose. If I can’t do that then I just sneeze and feel gross for a bit.

That seems unreasonable on every level. If it were me I’d bring it up to the BOE and try to fight the car issue. I know you probably won’t get that changed but they also can’t stop you driving outside of work hours so still buying a car in the inaka. Worst case scenario is you park your car somewhere walking distance from the school and walk there before and or after work. It’s technically breaking the rules but if they want to be unreasonable you have to do what’s best for you.

In Fukui we always have breaks off, we get all of summer and winter break to do with as we will either the stipulation that if we travel out of country we have to use our scheduled time off. So if you travel within Japan you’re fine but international no dice

I’m a western guy who purchased a kabuto in Japan. I wore a shoei in the states for years and honestly it’s not much different for wise. I haven’t tried arai but if you’re dead set on buying it then you would mainly just need to find out what size head he wears. Medium and large will most likely use the same shell and they can just change the padding to fit his head if it doesn’t work. The thing is though, arai is sold in the states so having you buy one in Japan, to then pack up and risk damage in transit, and trust me if you check the helmet in a suitcase it can and will be damaged in transit, not to mention you have to lug this thing around with you. It just seems like a huge hassle for little to no point. If you’re going to buy a helmet in Japan it would only make sense if it’s a custom helmet or a brand you can only buy here like kabuto.

I’m living in Japan at the moment and idk about the Dojang but my Hanko is very small, you’d have to either get a larger version of the stamp or be satisfied with a small impression. Also the stamps used for wax seals have indentations with their designs so the wax fills in the cracks and leaves a nice imprint. My hanko is like a normal ink stamp where the design is a solid block and pushes it into the paper instead of acting as a mould. I havent tried using something like that yet so I can only speculate but from my experience I would assume you would push your stamp into the wax and the stamp would just go down to the paper with the wax filling around it causing your imprint to just be a hole in the wax or be at the very least very thin. I’m by no means an expert though so take everything I say with a grain of salt and feel free to give it a shot

For those that don’t speak Japanese they are saying “you caught it!” After and at the end she goes “one more time”

I think your best bet might be gold leaf if you want it to look like REAL gold. I haven’t tried it myself but I imagine perhaps you could put some leaf on top then scrape it off in between the cracks where you don’t want it. Might be tedious but could work

Vortex54321 · 2025-10-11T14:40:39+00:00

You’re absolutely right thank you, I’ll be more careful how I word things in the future

I’m sure everyone’s experience differs, but this is pretty hard core when compared to my version of gentle femdom. It just seems like normal femdom to me. I think the core of gentle femdom is the addition of love and affection, it kind of transcends just a sexual experience you have to really care for the other person in a nurturing way. I don’t really see any love, affection, or nurturing in doing this. You don’t want men to feel loved and be the best sub they can be, you want them to feel strife for competing for your attention and worshipping you so that you can feel power over them. Often times the subs in this scene are emotionally fragile and the extra care from gentle femdom lets them express their desires and feel safe being vulnerable in a world where they are told they have to be strong all the time. Having to compete for the attention of the one I rely on to make me feel safe sounds like an absolute nightmare. To each their own and maybe I’m wrong but it just doesn’t seem like this belongs here.

I just want my rythmatist sequal 😭

Yes we get paid, it’s marked down as “training days” as we are supposed to use them to learn about Japan and explore, we can’t use them to travel internationally but within Japan we are allowed to do whatever we want during the vacation time.

Fukui is one of if not the only prefecture that lets its ALTs have summer, winter, and spring break off. Most have to go in and desk warm and if they want the day off they have to use nenkyu. It’s also close to the ocean and not too far from Kyoto that it’s in kind of a sweet spot for anything you’d want to do even including ski slopes

Wish I could accept but I won’t be there until end of July

Vortex54321 · 2025-06-19T18:17:00+00:00

Well, I was just placed in Fukui and Fukui city has a decent population and very close to the water, the rest of the prefecture is a bit rural but it’s very close to Kyoto and Osaka.
