I recently traveled to Kokura in Fukuoka. Though Kokura is a city, I felt like time passed more slowly and quietly there. In my city, many people work on their laptops, even in cafes. Nobody was working at Starbucks in Kokura; they were taking a break. The cafe was very spacious, and I was surprised that people were just relaxing. There was Kokura castle in front of Starbucks, and kindergarteners were taking a walk nearby. I really enjoyed the atmosphere.

I helped with the Japanese localization for Kicya.net, Nekoweb, and Atabook. I also use Atabook as the guestbook on my site. It was a great experience!

I am a fan of a duo of labor and social security attorneys, Miki Suda and Hideo Kuroda. They had been defamed by another labor and social security attorney. The strange part is that this person had been posting “oppai (boobs)” on his official X account every day. They introduced his posts on their YouTube channel, but he ended up suing them instead. About a year later, he asked them to settle, but they refused. I want to go to court and watch this trial! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

I received a NATO nylon strap from Germany three days ago. I wear a Laco Aachen 39, a mechanical watch inspired by the pilot watches worn by German bomber crews during World War II. I’m crazy about it.

If you have the Ubuntu font installed on your computer, this site reaches its final form. Ubuntu is such a cute typeface. I like Ubuntu. I really like Ubuntu. :P

I used HelloTalk in 2023. I received messages from an American who had passed the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test Level N1 and an Indian who worked as an engineer in Japan. After exchanging some harmless small talk, we drifted apart. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I ordered a genuine leather bag. It is made to order and the lead time is about one month. I can't wait for it!
