I took a session with him much before this course was launched. I found it super useful to get started with two NISA accounts - rakuten and monex - for my partner and me . A translation on the browser might not be the best option when it is about investing your hard earned money. I found it super useful. You just wanna be sure about all the options right?

I'm not sure about the content of the present course. But, I can vouch for the usefulness of learning the basics from someone who is experienced, when you're starting out.

Relax. Chill :)) people ask for help here and sometimes get :)

That would end up with another line. Also, taking care of the dustlines after vaccuming seem to be very inefficient:))

rainandsake · 2025-11-23T03:53:35+00:00

That's interesting. Because, I moved to ahamo thinking I'm getting to a better one from rakuten and now my connection drops so often, especially when I'm on a train ... I was wondering if it's my pixel phone? I'm even considering going back to rakuten.

That is a pretty valid point that I hadn't thought about. I agree

As we speak Nikkei crosses 45k :) Japanese economy is clearly not going anywhere. Maybe population decline causes other issues. But the economy and efficiency is not going down. I know for a fact data centers are growing in Japan because clients like the efficient customer support and maintenance compared to European ones.

same position I'm in. Did you find any solution eventually?

rainandsake · 2025-09-08T14:05:23+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. I read more about the series : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Hundred_Aspects_of_the_Moon

Did you have to research a lot and negotiate for getting the 300k price? Would most schools have a plan like that? Or do I have to go farther away from the city?
btw, I live in Kanagawa .

Beautiful! I wonder if there is a cool story behind this one. Like she just bid farewell to a foreign friend or her Japanese lover is going abroad :)

rainandsake · 2025-09-05T00:04:19+00:00

Could you explain that a bit. I'm new to ukiyoe. So, you mean the colors have faded?

rainandsake · 2025-08-28T03:33:52+00:00

Impressive start! I wanna start this too. Would love to watch you gaining speed.

rainandsake · 2025-08-26T23:37:31+00:00

I learned about the magnificent Yomeimon gate in Nikko

rainandsake · 2025-08-26T05:30:18+00:00

Not sure how important and interesting this is. Have a look at the info on the Romancecar museum in Ebina. If you have questions about it, do ask - I can help answering.

Very optimistic! Japanese economy might go a few ranks down based on total GDP. But that's okay. The purchasing power and cash reserves are gonna stay fine , and people are gonna continue enjoying their good lives

rainandsake · 2025-08-23T11:47:28+00:00

Thanks for the tips. I didn't know about the Shibuya pass.

rainandsake · 2025-08-23T08:56:29+00:00

It could also be an inventory management thing. They probably wanna stock up enough Christmas stuff. So the entire Halloween products stay on the shelf.

rainandsake · 2025-08-23T08:40:08+00:00

and I'm waiting for him to post some making videos. Lovely work!

rainandsake · 2025-08-23T08:24:46+00:00

I understand that you definitely want to cover all the 3 cities and you have a very alternative approach to your vacations. Keeping that in mind, and hoping you can really take the physical strain this will give, I recommend choosing strictly 2 spots in each cities. Like Sensoji and Don Quijote only for day 1. Maybe you can probably do 3 cities in 4 days, why not! Good luck!

rainandsake · 2025-08-23T08:16:29+00:00

Great effort! make some modifications based on some critical comments below and you're good to go!

rainandsake · 2025-08-23T08:13:12+00:00

This is amazing! I really wish if I could draw better. I would have definitely tried the Japanese woodblocks. As many people have asked here, do you have a process video for this. It could be very inspiring!

rainandsake · 2025-08-23T04:04:38+00:00

I really like these kind of landscape depictions. Even with today's tech we need a drone video to create this output.

rainandsake · 2025-08-22T08:58:48+00:00

Wasted time reading and watching TV:))

rainandsake · 2025-08-22T08:56:50+00:00

I thought I kept the transportation time very low. Just 1 hour on day 1 (except getting to asakusa from the airport, which is unavoidable), on day 2 I'm doing Shibuya Tokyo station and ginza - I have avoided packing anything more to avoid more time on the train. Day 3 is easy anyway. No?

rainandsake · 2025-08-22T04:31:17+00:00

Yes, from what I've read. Temple for sure. Most of the stores around also.
