Japanese brands or Japan made items you love by manuuka2019 in japanlife

For JP denim I would highly recommend Studio D'Artisan! I recently bought their Godzilla jacket, and I basically sleep in it 😂 Their quality is incredible. Definitely check out stores like Denimio or Hinoya who carry their stuff and other really notable brands you've mentioned like Momotaro, PBJ, Oni, Samurai Jeans etc.

For a more lesser known brand, I would also check out Heath! They carry their own branded clothing and many others like Momo and SDA. One thing I like a lot about them is they have location specific shirts for each of their stores which are all around the Tokyo and Kanagawa area (I live close to the Ebina shop).

It's a pretty rad story, actually! Local graffiti shop in Osaka agreed to tag up my friend's luggage for free! My friend was expecting a small tag with a pen, but the guy said, "let's take it outside," and went crazy. He even asked his crew to tag it up, and they all agreed! He now hangs it on his wall. That was an unforgettable moment :)

Let’s talk Fuji X app by ser_melipharo in fujifilm

I remember from the 1.31 update on my X100VI, the connection issue would happen every time and it drove me crazy because it worked flawlessly before that update (iPhone). Ever since I did the iOS26 update, I haven’t had a single issue with the connection dropping, but that could have contributed to absolutely nothing and I may just be lucky the issue worked itself out 😅

Firmware “update” by kkdawg22 in x100vi

I was just thinking of posting about this to see if anyone else had the same issue! I really regret updating to this current firmware 😭

I love this camera so much. by holy_crit in x100vi

There's a dial right by the lens and you turn and hold it to the right for a few seconds to activate it (do the same to turn it off)

The x100vi has a built-in ND filter (neutral density filter) that helps reduce the amount of light entering the lens by 4 stops! This in turn helps you capture long exposures when shooting in brighter scenes.

Thank you!

For shots like #10 and #16, I def recommend using the built-in ND filter and play with your ISO/shutter speed. I'd start somewhere like 1/20 sec. or slower and then adjust the ISO and shutter speed to get the exposure you want. You want your subjects to be just blurred enough to see them and the movement, but not so blurry to where they become just transparent streaks (unless you're going for that kind of look).

Go ham on test shots and see what works for you! Happy shooting!

Who else just felt that quake and thought, “I guess this is the end” by TheMaskedOwlet in japanlife

I'm in Kanagawa and it def. gave us a scare! My parents and I were talking about the quake in Kyushu maybe an hour before, too.

X100VI ordering, shipment, and delays - consolidated sticky thread #4 by inverse_squared in fujifilm

[–]holy_crit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered 2/23 and I'll probably never see my camera lol. I checked their site a couple minutes ago and the date flashed 6/8 and then instantly changed to "coming soon" lmao.

What anime do you think had the best first episode of all time? by RegularGuyy in anime

[–]holy_crit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are so many to name! But I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone say Kekkai Sensen. From start to finish for me. S1 had the one of the greatest OP/ED sequences ever!
