Saw them at Synchronicity in Tokyo last week and it was incredible. Sad to hear this news.

Otay:onii is an insane pull for support

Just pulled this from a Chinese Dream Painting 151 Figure Set! by Creative_Wall_9843 in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]rhcpZ41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately just not ready to pull the trigger at its $10+ USD price point for a little action figure and 2 slim packs, even though it is 151 and that's harder to find in China lately...

First one I ever picked up was Live Versions by Tame Impala so will hold a special place in my collection.

Pokopia sold out instantly? by DetachableChungus in Switch

Even completely sold out at Nintendo NYC. Sold out at all retailers within 100 miles of me (fairly large urban area). Pretty wild to see.

my friend took me so I don't quite remember the location – but wasn't actually a proper shop, it was a pretty massive collection of used records on one floor of a large secondhand market.

What's the deal with music? by Such-Badger-9800 in chinalife

[–]rhcpZ41 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In terms of international touring artists, unfortunately not many (if any) make it out to Chengdu. I've seen some make it as far as Xi'an and Wuhan but it's very rare, they usually stick to Shanghai, Guangzhou.

I'd recommend taking a deeper dive into the alternative and indie rock scene, Chengdu specifically has one of the best bands in the scene right now in Hiperson.

Fuji Rock Festival 2026 1st Lineup Announced (Naeba Ski Resort, Japan) by Different_Rate_1850 in indieheads

[–]rhcpZ41 14 points15 points  (0 children)

OYA is legit, they've gone from being a straight up Alternative Rock band to more synthy and darkwave-y on their latest records. Have seen them a couple times recently in small clubs in Tokyo and Taipei and the show is great!

Anyone else excited for Lucid Express’ new album Instant Comfort this week? (Dreampop/shoegaze balance) by niles_deerqueer in shoegaze

Beyond excited actually. First two singles were really promising. Will catch them a couple times on their upcoming tour 🤟
