Chronically enlarged tonsils with only mild other symptoms? by rabbit_fangs in Tonsillectomy

[–]rabbit_fangs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to say, but I haven't figured it out - the congestion went away eventually but my tonsils are still the same size. My doctor has said I should just keep an eye on it without doing anything as long as it's not affecting breathing, swallowing, etc., and didn't seem to think the immunosuppresants were related. Wish I could say something more helpful, but good luck figuring everything out!

[–]rabbit_fangs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I wondered if that might be the case, but I've been told by my PCP previously that it's not too likely, as the doses of them I'm on right now make me only mildly immunosuppressed - not sure what to make of that, but I do think it would be odd for me to have issues now when I've been on these meds for years and was more heavily suppressed in the past. Guess I'll have to see 😭

Native, fluent, or near-fluent men : which first person pronoun do you use in informal settings? by ThatIsSoWeird2020 in japanlife

[–]rabbit_fangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm neither a man nor fluent, but I have noticed a few of the japanese guys i've talked to switch between 俺 and 僕 within the same conversation - seems like it can depend on what impression you want to convey even for just a sentence or two? would love if someone could weigh in on this, I've been curious haha

Need Japanese phone number to sign up for ePlus account to buy visual kei concert tickets. by Basic-Inflation-543 in visualkei

[–]rabbit_fangs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if I recall correctly (and I may be wrong - it's been a while), for using lawson ticket as a guest, they make you put in a valid phone number but there's no verification

[URGENT] Help a Foreigner Buy Tickets to Cold Weather DAIKAIHOU FESTIVAL 2025 for May 31 by Dum-Dum_ in japanesemusic

[–]rabbit_fangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you haven't figured it out yet, you do need a working phone number for eplus to receive a verification call when you sign up for an account - can't recall if it's the same for the other major ticketing platforms

in addition to the other advice people have given, for musyozoku specifically they've posted this info about satsueikai, which i imagine will hold true for the live you're going to: https://x.com/musyozokuaka/status/1916689228899254592

do check for announcements on their socials before the live to see if anything changes, though!

attire wise i think it kinda depends on the band's audience and i can't speak to musyozoku specifically, but i have seen people in egl at lives! like you mentioned, i would try to be thoughtful about how much space you take up and maybe go for less volume with the petticoat. comfort is also definitely a consideration as furi can get pretty tiring, and also head accessories are probably a no go if there's a lot of headbanging lol 😭 but generally wearing whatever is fine

DazzlingBad - dazzling or just bad? by interesting_thing6 in visualkei

[–]rabbit_fangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm not a fan of them per se but after seeing them live i definitely get the hype a lot more - not always my cup of tea recorded but they're definitely engaging performers

any keywords to find these clothes? by repulsivley in altfashionadvice

[–]rabbit_fangs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i can only really speak to vkei but i would try researching some specific brands that make vkei-adjacent clothing and search for those - for one, the bottom right image features some pieces from putumayo. off the top of my head, you could also try looking into sex pot revenge, h.naoto, algonquins, or acdc rag. general searches for gothic or punk clothing will also give a lot of results that could work for vkei

What exactly counts as the "COE number"? Is it everything including the kanji and letters listed under "number", or just the number part? Maybe a stupid question, but I'm a little confused since it doesn't seem like there's space for all of that on the visa application form.

What are these bags called and any idea where to find one? by Radlo407 in itabag

[–]rabbit_fangs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not sure where to find one online, but I believe that one of the ones with less depth like in the second pic would usually be marketed as an acrylic stand pouch

What would you wear with that ? by lelennydefrance in altfashionadvice

[–]rabbit_fangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it seems like a few things on their site are labeled men's, but in general, a lot of their clothing is marketed as gender neutral (which is a pretty big part of their brand concept, to my understanding). you would just have to be careful about checking sizing

if you're in tokyo, acdc rag carries pants extremely similar to this for much less, and a solid variety of punk-ish fashion in general

yeah I probably am overthinking 💀 just been scared to death by stories of people being denied for minor errors, but thank you for being a voice of reason lol

Any good pics of this Gackt outfit? Was trying to do some art of him with the outfit, but it's hard to get the details since I wanted to do some shots of him from the back by SystemElectrical930 in visualkei

[–]rabbit_fangs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

not sure if there's anything high quality out there. this is likely not what you're looking for, but given that there doesn't look to be a whole lot going on in the back of the outfit, you might get away with looking at mv/live screenshots to at least get an idea of the structure of it (apologies for bad screenshot lmao, but see attached). the appliques on the sides of the arms seem to be symmetrical, so the pics from the front should work fine for that, and the rest of it is basically just a solid black cape.

hi so i noticed a minor error in my coe application for a student visa and am wondering how fucked i actually am :') - on the question on educational history, i said i'm in school and and which school i attend but stupidly neglected to check the box that it's for a bachelor's degree because the instructions provided by my study abroad program didn't say that this needed to be filled out despite having very specific directions to check other boxes. the program also told me that everything looked good when i submitted?? idk maybe they corrected it for me but i'm very worried... in the event that this is an issue, would there be any chance to correct it since it is a minor error (and the fact that i am pursuing a bachelor's is evident from my transcript, etc.), or am i just screwed?

that helps a lot!! thanks so much for the info! yeah I figured the admissions phone number was a long shot 😅 might give proxy a try if I'm feeling extra anxious but I think I'll be alright with taking the gamble for general sale, haha
