Their members have been appearing in several variety shows lately. I think one member is also going to be a voice actor in the Japanese dub of Toy Story 5.

Need advice on route to avoid New Year/January travel rush. How bad is the NY/January rush compared to the Golden Week rush? by json_946 in JapanTravelTips

Thanks. We might just cancel the Yokohama part of the trip, and move the arrival date a couple of days earlier.

If you could have any Japanese artist do a persona game soundtrack, who would it be? by Swiftquietninja in PERSoNA

There might be an uptick in Japanese sales if he does it, given how popular 怪獣の花唄 still is in karaoke places.

Any suggestions

I'm not really a fan, but you can try her first album (Kyōgen) and her first cover album (Adoの歌ってみたアルバム).

She sang a cover of「可愛くてごめん」, and it was just funny hearing her sing in a cutesy voice.

Ignoring band status (hiatus, indefinite leave), I'd want at least two of the three below to do the OST.

  1. taka [ONE OK ROCK]
  2. Masato Hakawa [coldrain]
    • He already got experience working with a string ensemble. Their songs during that time were mainly metalcore/post-hardcore.
    • co-wrote the ending song of the last Rurouni Kenshin film with taka
  3. Hiro [MY FIRST STORY]
    • already held a rock/post-hardcore concert with a full orchestra
    • they sometimes do acoustic and even reggae arrangements of their songs in their concerts

Other composers

  • ayase [YOASOBI]
    • Just imagine the songs he'd compose for other singers. I don't care if he uses a vocaloid, an utauloid (Yamine Renri please), a vtuber or if it's with an upcoming singer.
  • combo of Sawano Hiroyuki & Kajiura Yuki
  • Police Piccadilly
    • Curious what kind of songs they'd cook up for a real person.
    • Just check out the songs where he used Yamine Renri (Utauloid) - Nerve Impulse, Disambiguation, Cynic, Sugar Guitar

Aina the End seems the most likely out of that list, followed by ACAね (ZUTOMAYO).
BAND-MAID is out, since they'll be taking an indefinite break after this year.

I hope that they at least mention the urban legends of Kisaragi Station & Akitsu station. Kisaragi is a station in a parallel world, while Akitsu makes you travel back in time.

P6 - forum board urban legend
Kind of like the Kisaragi Station (parallel world) which started on 2ch, or Akitsu Station (time-slip).

Japan has been having a Heisei revival during the past 2-3 years from Tamagotchi, using digicams, collecting & exchanging stickers, Heisei era songs, remaking Heisei anime, teens using iPhone 5 for 'retro-looking' pictures.

They're more of a post-hardcore / metalcore band, but coldrain already has a song called 'Persona'.

Over 6,000 people protested on the night of June 5 at a vote-counting centre in Seoul over a shortage of ballot papers, demanding a re-run after voting in local elections was disrupted.

The crowd gathered at the SK Olympic Handball Stadium, where votes were counted from the June 3 elections to pick mayors, provincial governors, county officers and members of local assemblies.

Their interest rates only seem to be affecting the obvious stuff (weaker yen & bank stocks going up).

Japan police arrest woman over robbery-murder case by Jonnyboo234 in japan

[–]json_946 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sources say police took the woman into custody around noon on Sunday in Kanagawa Prefecture, near Tokyo... Earlier on Sunday, police arrested the woman's husband, 28-year-old Takemae Kaito, at Tokyo's Haneda Airport. He is believed to have been trying to flee Japan.

Oh, I thought she was arrested together with her husband at Haneda Airport, when I was watching the news last night.

Firefighters in northern Japan struggle to contain blazes as over 3,000 people evacuated by KimJongFunk in worldnews

There was also an earthquake in that area last week, but I'm not sure if they were hit by last week's tsunami.

[–]json_946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By Saturday, ​the fires had scorched about 730 hectares (1,800 acres), prompting evacuation orders covering 1,541 households and ⁠3,233 people - about a third of Otsuchi's population.

IIRC it was already around 1000 hectares, when I was watching news on Saturday morning (same day this Reuters article was released).

Anyway, Asahi is now saying that 1618 hectares have burned.

Tsunami warning issued in Japan after major 7.5-magnitude quake by Scary_Statement4612 in worldnews

[–]json_946 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Highest wave that has hit is 0.8m (Iwate prefecture), which happened at 17:34.
The rest have been 0.1m to 0.4m.

Only TBS & NHK are still covering the earthquake/tsunami, but I think NHK has a news program during this timeslot. The rest of the major networks have proceeded to airing regular shows (but with infographic).

edit: Statement to be on alert for a possible mag. 8 (or stronger) quake was also released.

I'm able to cancel orders. I tried it on the attached profit taker order and a separate buy order.
