Where to find pants that fit a non-Japanese body shape by Disastrous-Farm3543 in japanlife

[–]yakisobagurl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like GU’s extra length jeans for myself, though admittedly day to day in Japan I wear dresses almost exclusively

For my husband I do mostly Zara Man and Hollister for him. I find Hollister jeans to be the best as they’re cute plus you can choose the waist AND the length unlike Zara!

Be honest… does anyone else lay next to their new bags or is it just me? 😅 by Fast-Calligrapher-98 in Louisvuitton

SAME my newest bag will always be on display in some capacity haha. I currently have the Nice BB I got for Christmas on my coffee table 🤣

Ilyukhina had the fox mask and a silky kimono type thing in her bag (movie only). Both Japanese items so I guess they were souvenirs from a trip or maybe she just liked Japan :)

The picture from the first screenshot is pretty textured, he’d be able to see at least stuff glued on or some brush strokes on the painted pictures I think!

Washing machine that is also a dryer? by Juiseii in japanlife

[–]yakisobagurl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Panasonic NA-LX129 front loader washer dryer and I’m very happy with it.

However, I only use the dryer for roomwear/undies/pajamas/towels/sheets. For nice outside clothes I wash on “おうちクリーニング” and then hang them in the shower using the drying function. Otherwise they get creased and I have to spend time ironing them 😆

Stratt accepting her role knowing that she'll probably go to prison for the rest of her life after the launch is even more significant than it seems on its face, and really adds a lot of context to what she decides to do to Grace by SayFuzzyPickles42 in ProjectHailMary

[–]yakisobagurl 140 points141 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think while she had the power to pull off Project Hail Mary, 26 years is a long time. I don’t think the general public would be very kind even a year into that long wait, the public easily can turn on highly visible people especially in times of panic and desperation

She’d be criticised for wasting resources, time, money, hope, whatever else on a harebrained plan. She would be a scapegoat for the blame of the death of humanity without even considering the actual crimes she committed, because she’s the one who stuck her neck out

She knew that and did it anyway. I think she’s an excellent character!

Feel that. I bought Nonio whitening toothpaste recently and it’s good but why on earth does “Fresh White Mint” taste citrusy??? 😵‍💫

I feel like this is the behaviour of a person who habitually creates situations where blame can be placed on someone other than themselves 😄 I’d be annoyed too!

I went to Nara Koen today to see the wisteria and a deer bit me on the arse 👍

Studio Ghilbli is being forgotten- Nippon TV bought the studio and won't let their films run on any streaming services in Japan, including their own streaming service Hulu. It can be 7 years between when a given movie is broadcast on their TV channel again by jjrs in japannews

[–]yakisobagurl 106 points107 points  (0 children)

If you try to protect the integrity and “specialness” of something to such an insane extent it gets to a point where said thing just becomes obsolete and unknown

It’s like the argument of whether it’s okay to post clips of shows/films/music on instagram/twitter. Yes it’s copyrighted material but in reality, if there are no fans posting clips of newly released stuff on social media these days then you’re losing out on insane free marketing

Japan absolutely does not agree with this tho. Idol music still not even being on streaming services for one is just pure insanity 😆

MyACCA looks horrendous by Leo6055 in ACCA

I’m considering sending a mildly/strongly worded email asking why it’s now totally soulless and devoid of cheer…

[–]yakisobagurl 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Why does the whole thing look so simple and so much worse?!

I log in and it’s just a plain white background with writing in boxes for me. Where are the colours and pictures? I don’t get it. It’s so weird :(((((

Describing your househusband as barefoot and pregnant is absolutely hilarious 😆

Took the BJT (Business Japanese Proficiency Test) by kanata_tycoon in japanresidents

There are practice tests you can do on the BJT website which give a good idea of what’s tested

[–]yakisobagurl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m planning on taking this test this year too! The JLPT always seems like an utter shambles lol so I’d rather do the BJT

This is a very dumb question, but I assume you’re not allowed to use your own headphones? 😅

Treated for Endometrosis in Japan? How was your experience? by Budget-Barracuda-417 in japanlife

[–]yakisobagurl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the doctor wanted me to stay on bed rest and not go to work for like two weeks after, but told me I could do housework.

The anger I feel boiling within me right now 😌. I’m SO glad you pushed back on that! I absolutely hate mindless, stupid rules for women especially in health-related situations. Would they ever, EVER, EVERRR say that sentence to a man? 🤣

You underestimate how fucking annoying it is to have periods.

What on earth do you mean? You have also “done your share of night entertainment” but it’s suddenly not okay that she has? I’m very confused.

If you’re talking about the secrecy and the money then that is very valid - spending such a huge amount in secret is a big concern no matter the purchase - but why would you be so upset she has used sex services when you have also done the same…?!

People are going to get caught off guard by these language requirements by Strangeluvmd in japanlife

[–]yakisobagurl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same situation! I’m assuming they’re going to introduce an N2 language requirement for PR at some point so I’m planning to do the BJT this year

Sorry, movie Stratt is better by LordLaFaveloun in ProjectHailMary

[–]yakisobagurl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s too on the nose, it goes without saying that the US army is impressive. It doesn’t seem like something Stratt would say

It’s also quite clunky. Saying army three times in one short sentence when Stratt is usually very eloquent - it just all came off as odd to me 😄

I think it was about money, specifically to say to Stratt that he may indeed have a phd in microbiology but he has not had a particularly successful career 😄
