Nilou loves me >_____<

AND OMG, THE STAR RAIL COLLAB

I knew you'd know hahaha (and if I posted a pic it would be too déjà vu)

OMG IT'S NAOBOU

Never thought I would get to hear Ayaneru singing Stellar Stellar...

I get your feelings. Even though I generally learn faster than most people, if I don't take proper classes, my progress will almost always be zero. (Like how I bought a drawing tablet last year and haven't been practising ever since...)
Finding work in Japan in the 30s is kind of hard, but if you have direct experience it should be possible, I guess.
(If you come and study or work in Japan, we can finally meet >__>)

You could book a cheap flight to Bangkok or something. They got Animate there so it'll be worth it XD

Wuthering Waves has been on my radar for more than a year now, but since it's not on the PS5, and ZZZ is coming soon (literally tomorrow), I decided not to play it.
Will you be playing ZZZ? (I don't think I even need to ask XD)

Speaking of HSR, I just wanna explain that I wasn't planning to E6 Hotaru. I only planned to go all-in with my 60k+ crystals, but then I somehow lost to 50/50 only once and got her to E5 (plus the LC). So I was tempted to use a little magic XD
But then Genshin decided to give me only a C0 Sigewinne and her weapon for 40k crystals....... My plan for C6 Nilou is ruined T___T
We're going to Natlan in literally 2 months, so you might need to speed up >____>
I also don't like Samsung, so I love how Hoyo actually does collabs with different companies in different countries. Like how they made Genshin earphones and phones with Sony exclusively here in Japan (I love Sony products), and Samsung exclusively in Korea. (The Samsung Hutao ones look pretty dope though, ngl).

I have kind of been wanting to get a handheld as well lately to use during work. I might get a PS Portal when I'm rich enough hahaha.
Looking at Atelier gacha and other games, I guess the era of Japanese RPG gacha games is already over ._______.

I'll tell you Blue Archive is super popular in Japan right now. Maybe not as much as Hoyoverse games (because Hoyoverse games also have a lot of female audience here), but you can see fan art and stuff everywhere.

From that merch picture alone, I can already imagine how broke you'd be after a trip to Comiket >____>
Also congrats on your first figure~!

thank you xD

u replied a year late..... ive quit star rail by now LOL
none of the new characters hit as hard as getting kafka when she released. her trailer was so sick and i was soo excited
are you playing wuwa?

oh i read that, didn't know it was her first work! hehe i had it on my favs list for a long time because i loved the art. pillow god also handsome af (the story was a bit off though...)

That singing voice OMGGGGGGGGASIEJUD)P(QY#WHRIU HWEOF'WYR('YQ#WIURKFJW
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiqbwTVQJuc

So they released the English version together? O___O

Okay I lied.

[Added Sep 23]

which one did u try? :o yeah i actually do reuse the cup sleeve to hold my coffee glasses sometimes but its scuffed LOL
oh yaa, i want fu xuan and jingliu for sure... i'm debating for topaz but in general i kinda want every girl who comes out >_<

o7 yaaa! i actually rewatched kuzu no honkai today, it's a lot better than i remembered. on my first watch, i felt like her art is amazing but the writing was off... but i like it a lot now!! do u especially recommend any of her other manga?

You Very Welcome, hope you had some great days!^v^b

That radio programme is the only reason I wake up before 5 o'clock every Sunday (yes I get up that late at the weekends).
And they just announced today that it's ending next month ;____;

Come to think of it, it's actually funny that his seinen works are all set in high school XD

Well, as long as they don't find out at the interview, hahaha. But realistically speaking, it's probably way more difficult to become fluent in speaking if you don't know how to read.
I got the job straight in Japan while I was studying at a Japanese language school. From what I understand, it's somewhat harder to get a job in Japan when you're not in the country, because some places want you right away, and the Visa process takes quite a while.
What are you planning to study?
I think that depends on the institutions and what languages are being taught. For 専門学校, you'd probably be required to have N2. As for universities, JLPT doesn't apply, and you have to take a whole separate test called EJU which is harder since it's more academic. But if it's an international programme, they probably don't care. One of my friends went to (iirc) an international college and studied programming without N2.

It's probably gonna take a while before machine translation can do a good job at Indo-European ↔ East Asian languages, haha. Especially since a lot of Asian languages have 尊敬語.
That said, SEA audiences aren't whales, so I don't think they really care about the region tbh.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about Priconne. I think it's the only game of its kind that has a dedicated Thai server.
(And even though I said most games in Thailand are on the global server, most Thai otaku probably play on the Japanese server anyway).
Oh and now that we're talking about work, I just ended up doing 3 more English customer support projects because there aren't enough JP→TH translation projects... So we're basically doing the same kind of job right now, hahaha.

I mean it's Japan XD There were so many people that they had to use the ticket queuing system, handing out tickets for them to come back at a certain time of the same day. The 2 hours of waiting in the morning I mentioned was for the queue tickets alone.
It's literally the perfect casting >___< And her being a kusogaki really caught me by surprise.
It was great! It was pretty much a real art exhibition. There was also a section where you could try a pair of Sony headphones, and they had a Fontaine orchestra score in front of you to look at while listening to it (photos were also allowed). I incidentally was (am) working on a piano arrangement score on it, so I felt like I got some kind of cheat power >___>
Also there's this loli twin character design picture that isn't on the Online Exhibition.


Oh yeah, it really makes sense for VN players. I think the last handheld device I had was a Game Boy (not even Color), hahahahaha.
I guess it was the right decision not to buy Maire since I'm more into stories when I play games too.
If done right, I think it can be considered a full-on new series despite being a gacha game especially since they're releasing a PC version as well, and we know it's possible since HSR and Genshin are already super successful. (And if done wrong it will be Tales of Luminaria 2.0).
I had never had to choose to sacrifice which games not to play this much in my life... There're way too many interesting games coming out at the same time period ._____. (And I still haven't even finished Jedi Survivor yet since they last time I mentioned it).
Just come to play it in Japan XD

I think I have to skip Fugen-dono because I want both Topaz and her light cone .____.

Oh and by the way, I went to Animate in Ikebukuro (the main/biggest branch) the other day, and there was actually a shelf for Blue Archive merch.
Maybe there's a shelf in Akihabara right now too now that it's been renovated and has a whole new building dedicated for merch.

I gotta admit that I didn't know Kaguya-sama was already over until I read your comment...
Hopefully, I won't ever see those reactions (at least until I've caught up. I'm only at the third volume right now).

I thought that too, but in reality, it only applies to jobs that are kind of exclusive to foreigners. And they value your communication more at the interview, so even if you have N2, you're not gonna get a job if you can't speak Sonkeigo.
Chinese-speaking people are born with cheat when it comes to Japanese learning... And many of them are very good at adjusting their Japanese accent as well (although the best non-native Japanese speakers are probably Korean).

Wouldn't the sentences be inaccurate or at least feel unnatural, using translator tools? That makes sense since every kaigai otaku who knew Japanese back in the 2000s all read VNs, hahaha.
70% is a lot, especially for Oshi no Ko. Akasaka-sensei uses sooooooo many kanji that are usually written in hiragana by literally everybody. Like 僕ら becoming 僕等 or それぐらい becoming それ位. I completely misread them as ぼくなど and それい at first, ahaha...
That's probably Vietnam, because Thailand mobile games usually play on Global servers. It's the first time I heard about it though (I only ever hear about China).
Your workplace seems kind, hahaha.

Oh so they have their own online store. No wonder they don't sell them outside much.
I planned to go buy the milk tea last week, until I gave up after seeing pictures of people lining up on X Twitter and reading about how you have to wait in line for at least 2 hours at 8 o'clock under Tokyo's summer Sun, in Shibuya which is literally the most crowded place in Tokyo...
I missed so many events and handouts lately (but at least I get to go to the Fontaine exhibition next Monday).

Since I don't play handheld (smartphone as an exception) and my PC runs better than the Steam Deck, it doesn't really answer my needs. Although I wouldn't mind having one for free.
Jokes on you, I still don't have the ability to do either, hahahahaha. I'm so glad how well HSR works on the phone because I can finish the daily and weekly stuff on it during work, while enjoying the story on the PC version.
I ended up not getting Atelier Marie since I'm broke (although I ended up ordering the Fate/Samurai game). There's gonna be another Atelier icon on your desktop (and phone) very soon XD I'm a bit upset it won't be on the console though...
It just means that they're spared from a bad game >____> Jokes aside, I guess it makes sense though 'cause they plan to release a Global version later.

He became a VTuber right after your last comment...

I was very relieved after they announced that the next two new characters in 4.1 will be ikemen characters, meaning my wallet would be safe until the Goddess of Water, Inorin, releases in 4.2...
Or that's what I wanted to say before I saw these images lining up on Twitter.
