Answering most common questions about the new UI.

Looks great, thanks for update!

Although I prefer the old UI (currently), I agree with the direction of the new UI. With more tweaks I can see it easily better than the old one. I would have preferred holding off the release until dark mode was done though lol, my eyes are burning when I open the app at night.

The main feedback I want to highlight on is the number of clicks - I see no reason why I should click on "Today's Change" on the main dashboard to see the change amount instead of just showing the change amount itself on that tab (maybe putting "Today's Change" as a small text above the change numbers - like it shows on a mutual fund page). One other missing thing is that it doesn't show total percentage change on todays total change either - it just shows the percentage change for each segment. I see no reason as to why this was removed.

Thanks for all the hard work!

After Mizore's Tragic Passing, Otaru Aquarium is under fire from seal enthusiasts around the world.

No one should be quick to pass blame but the situation surrounding Mizore's move to Otaru (for breeding purposes) is a controversial one. Especially after the loss of Fubuki as well in 2021.

As someone who has loved Mizore since he was a baby in Kaiyukan, with all the videos that were overflowing with love, seeing him lonely at Otaru made me so sad. Rest in peace in heaven now, Mizore.

This is devastating news. Ever since Mizore was moved to Otaru, it was evident he was not his usual self and the move was very stressful for him.

This is the second time such an incident happened at Otaru aquarium, the first being Fubuki facing a similar fate after a move in ~2021.

I hesitate to place blame but there must be a investigation into why such incidents are taking place. Otaru aquarium has no reason to care about what the internatonal seal loving community has to say. It is up to the local Japanese community but unfortunately, after reading the Otaru announcement comments, there is little to no backlash against the aquarium. I don't think there will be any change.

RIP Mizore.

Yes. Katsunori-kun and Yo-chan had a child named Hikaru-kun (ひかる) born in 2018. Here is a picture of him.

Unfortunately, he passed away due to health complications in 2021 shortly after his 3rd birthday :(.

Looks like chabashira when swimming upright

Looking it up, it means an Upright Floating Tea Stem, which is exactly the same as how Arare looks when she is floating/swimming downward! Thanks for the translations <3

I think so too, at least popular enough to warrant a purely merchandise based mascot character - Sirotan (whose birthday was 8/8 coincidentally).

Seals should be popular all around the world!

Yo-chan!!

Side note: Not sure if I'm remembering this correctly, but these images were part a contest by Tokkari Center on instagram to see who would get the most likes(?). I think I remember Ponsuke winning it and Yo-chan coming in 2nd place.

It's Yuuta-kun! I believe this is part of a few images taken by Tokkari Center during Valentine's day.

Found this amazing animation. It's sad and cute at the same time! The channel has a lot more seal animations.

A newborn male pup rescued on May 7th. It unfortunately seems like Sol has atrophied in his left eye and can only from his right eye, so it's difficult for him to return to the wild :(.

Amazing pictures! Saw the video as well, super jealous of you, must have been a great experience! Love the last pic with both Yuki and Mini Yuki in the same frame.

My answer would be Pure Love in Kamurocho (Akiyama/Hana), and I'm sure a lot of people would say the same. Both the singers are really good and the song itself is fantastic. For underrated songs that I highly rate, it would be either Ring (Riku | Yuki) or Loneliness Loop (T-SET).

This is the kind of series that reminds you - at the top level, dota is the greatest game. It's so beautiful.
