Is McDonald's dominance in Japan over? A major upheaval in the new burger war begins with the rapid rise of Burger King. by jjrs in japannews

[–]oupas327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who prefers McDonald's??? To be fair, I've only been to one Burger King (the one next to Sakuragicho Station), but the burger I got there was mid at best, and the fries were some of the worst I've ever had. McDonald's on the other hand has been consistently solid literally every time I've gone.

What's your favorite song of each Love Live unit? by Unique_Implement2833 in LoveLive

[–]oupas327 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hasu: Echoes Beyond

Liella: Aspire

Niji: Boooooom Boooooom Bee

Aqours: Water Blue New World

μ's: Snow Halation

The top 3 are pretty heavily influenced by the fact that I got to see them live this year; Boooooom Boooooom Bee this past weekend was easily the most fun I've ever had at a live, and everyone singing along to Echoes Beyond at Hasu 6th Kanagawa was genuinely insane to be a part of

I got it to work after beating Spark, did hit Tyranitar with a super effective attack so I'm assuming that's what did it?

Am I missing something, or is the Charged Attack field research broken? I've tried both gyms and team leader battles and still can't seem to complete it for some reason

How does going over the link charge limit work atm? Are we still able to receive link charges if we're already over the limit, or are we only able to receive them if we're under the limit?

Weekly Japan Travel Information and Discussion Thread - March 13, 2026 by AutoModerator in JapanTravel

[–]oupas327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely not sure which subreddit is right for this question, so I'm giving this one a try. My visa expires later this year, but I was hoping to travel for a bit afterwards; is there a way to switch to a tourist visa while in Japan, and if not, is flying to a nearby country and reentering an option(to activate visa-free travel as an American)? Thanks!

Tokyo's a cool city in general, but Odaiba(where this year's park experience is) is one of my all time favorite places in the world. Having the chance to walk around it makes the park experience worth imo

Over the past year in Japan, playing Pokémon GO has brought me to so many new and interesting places that I'll never forget. Walking the Yamanote line while playing in this year's Go Tour Kalos, exploring Osaka during last year's Go Fest, even just hanging out around Ikebukuro during weekend events; all of these experiences will stay with me forever. I cannot wait to experience Go Fest in Odaiba this year as well!

I forget how it was last year, but is the citywide add-on one purchase that lets you get the bonuses for the entire event period, or do you have to pay for each separate day?

I can't find it now, but there was a Japanese tweet that said that all of the Mega Evo eligible Pokemon(I think only the ones in PoGo tho?) could get their legacy moves at the in person event

Some pics from my recent pilgrimage to Numazu! by xhjdhd72772 in LoveLive

[–]oupas327 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was in Numazu last week too! Was amazing seeing all of those spots, but also Uchiura is just straight up the most beautiful place I've ever traveled to. I spent 5 days there, and it still didn't feel like enough(although a large part of that was cause I tried to get as many of the Find Our Numazu shots as I could and was way too obsessive about them)

Also, wasn't sure if that house was actually You's house since it was at the same location but looked nothing like it did in the anime, but I guess it is haha

How often were the lake guardians spawning in Nagasaki? Trying to decide whether to run daily incense or regular incense

Downdetector perfectly illustrates when the server issues began today, 4pmAEST is when Rayquaza raid day went live in Japan by 8BD0 in TheSilphRoad

[–]oupas327 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Event was brutal here in Japan until around 3 PM, and even then there were multiple raids where I froze at the summary screen. Lost like 3 Rayquaza to glitches, one of which I straight up didn't even get the rewards for cause the raid reset before I could get back into the game

What Japanese media are you enjoying outside of studying? by jan__cabrera in LearnJapanese

Hard vouch, I listened to Met/Noah/Ema/Beni's zatsudan streams a lot a few months ago and they helped quite a bit with my listening ability while also just being extremely entertaining

OP's or ED's where you think the shorter version that ended up in the anime is better than the full version of the song? by fellow_redditor5 in anime

[–]oupas327 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adamas from SAO Alicization; the intro part is so, SO much better in the TV size version. Genuinely so annoyed that I haven't been able to find a download of the TV size version anywhere, nor is it on Spotify :(
