They are electrocuting celebrities in the bathtub on Japanese TV. I get super annoyed by the "weird Japan" articles in gaikoku, but like, damn, Japan. You honestly set yourself up for them sometimes.

The envelope that held my magazine was torn somewhere in transit between Gaikoku and Tokyo. The Japan post office repaired the damage and included an apology note about the tear.

I'm giving a talk for J-artists who want to be published/exhibit overseas, and it turns out I have So Much to say. I need a week-long workshop to share my thoughts, but all I have is an hour. Clearly, I need to start a talent agency to shepherd manga artists in the gaikoku. (Do not let me do this.)

This table has the January 2025 foreign population breakdown by Tokyo wards. There's data for the 10 largest national groups, then all other nationalities are lumped together. Those ten groups are much changed from 25 years ago. www.toukei.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/gaikoku/2025...

Tbh the amount of times I was met with the idea that the great land of Gaikoku is English speaking, it'd be great for a bit of a lesson.

Tokyo dooes provide a population breakdown by nationality. If the list below is hard to see, clicking the link will take you to the page. In 2000, there were 7,175 British in Tokyo. The table below shows there are 7,119 today, which is a slight decline. www.toukei.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/gaikoku/2025...

there's been so many good branch-specific imas fashion zines but i think a danketsu one would be so cool (domestic or gaikoku or hybrid).
i think it would split into red/blue/yellow OR have different themes for each volume (haute couture/luxury, streetwear, subculture, etc.)

What's the counterargument
The only two I can think of are (1) nuh-uh and (2) it's very affordable for me to spend my gaikoku salary in Japan as a tourist
Are there others?

What if I really committed to voice training and learning Japanese, moved to Japan, and became *the* American gaikoku-seiyuu, the first person that the anime studios turned to when they needed an English-speaking foreigner for a voice-acting role?
