According to Japanese Wikipedia, Shinji Higuchi had a cameo in Godzilla vs. Mothra as one of the extras in Nagoya TV Tower fleeing from Battra. I assume he's the one with the goatee.

KOKIA in flashback - 2003

It is KOKIA's 5th anniversary in 2003, and she gets busy this year! She releases the singles Kawaranai koto ~since 1976~ ('things that won't change'), with the year referring to her own year of birth, and The Power of Smile/Remember the kiss. The latter remains one of her best-selling singles ever, and both single A-sides are used for commercials and TV programs, boosting their fame. Kawaranai koto ~since 1976~ features in the Fuji TV drama series Itoshiki no mono e ('to those I love') as its theme song, and The Power of Smile makes a splash on the music TV show Music Station. These land her many performances that year.

The title tracks of the singles end up on KOKIA's third album, Remember me, which releases late 2003 and breaks into the Oricon charts top 20. She tours to promote the album with her first concert tour, Remember me ~watashi wa koko ni iru yo~ ('I am here').

Tokyo Story

Before I got to Tokyo I stopped off in Nagoya for a couple of days.

I’d been in Japan for a couple of weeks at this stage and felt a bit like I’d been rushing towards Tokyo.

I expected a lot from Tokyo, yet I wanted to put it off a little bit longer so I’d appreciate it all the more.

Nagoya is the Motor City of Japan.

Home of Toyota, Nagoya is one of the industrial powerhouses of Japan.

Because of it’s industrial and military output the city was flattened in World War II.

After the war the city was rebuilt.

As a consequence it looks different to many other cities in Japan.

It has an unbelievable number of luxury brand stores, Tiffaney etc, just like other big cities in Japan.

But it has broad boulevards that you don’t find in Osaka or Kobe. 

It gives the place a Parisian feel. The city also has a TV tower that you could be forgiven for thinking looks a tiny bit like the Eiffel Tower. 

In Nagoya I did a tour of the Toyota Factory museum.

It gives a fascinating look back at the story of the biggest car maker in the world, how they started out making looms and how they developed. 

Another day in Nagoya I travelled to Meji Mura park where the built heritage from around the country that was in danger of being knocked down in the rush to build sky scrapers has been collected together.

So, all together in a park in the middle of the countryside you have, the entrance and lobby from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Imperial Hotel which stood in Tokyo and survived a major earthquake and the War

a police box from Tokyo;

an entire post office

a section of the Kawasaki Bank; a church;

the Japanese Cabinet Library

a couple of bridges; a train and a train line; even a lighthouse.

In Meji Mura I learned a couple of things about that I never knew about before, about the Japanese that emigrated to Hawaii and in big numbers to Brazil in the 19th century; that skiing was only introduced to Japan in the 20th century. 

The hostel crowd on my first night was pretty limited. There was only one other foreigner there apart from me.

A young guy from Canada. He was on a break from some other part of Japan for the night.

Yet he stayed in the hostel all the time and played on his computer. Maybe it was just the change of location that appealed to him.

A young Japanese guy was another guest in the hostel. For some unknown reason on his computer he played and sang along to the Australian national anthem repeatedly during the course of the evening. Apart from that he was a nice guy.

The next night I went back to the hostel to collect my things after being gone all day. There was a new crowd, totally different.

There was a Japanese guy who’d lived abroad, who’d been to Brazil and Colombia, and is bringing his motorcycle down to Okinawa ;

a 19-year old American guy who was travelling in Japan on his own who had learnt some Japanese himself;

an Irish guy studying in London, who’d somehow developed an English accent;

an American Japanophile lady and her Japanese friend;

an English guy with a silly beard and his odd Aussie in-laws. 

In the hour while I was hanging around the hostel, trying desperately to book a bus ticket and putting together my things we all had a great time.

I was sorry to be leaving. 

In order to get from Nagoya to Tokyo I needed a ticket, this was the hard part.

Not that there weren’t busses and trains going to Tokyo every hour. But where to find the bus station. 

Earlier in the day I’d tried desperately to find the bus station. I knew it was somewhere around the colossal main train station.

Busses really do play second fiddle to trains in Japan.

Trains run to exacting schedules, so do the busses in Japan, just at lesser intervals.

Trains in Japan, in particular the Shinkansen or Bullet Train are part of the national psyche.

Trains are favoured and promoted over busses.

When you tell someone you’re taking a bus or even thinking about it they look at you like there’s something wrong with you. 

They tell you how much time you’ll save by taking the train. 

I was determined to take the bus to Tokyo, it would be cheaper than the train and if I took a night bus I’d be able to sleep on it, saving on the cost of accommodation for the night.

It would get me to Tokyo early the next day.

I eventually found the bus office of the JR BUS company, a bus company owned by Japan Rail.

Inexplicably they would only accept ‘made in Japan’ credit cards as the sales assistant described them. I’d have to pay cash.

I don’t think I found one long distance or inter city bus company that accepted credit cards.

I think they even found it odd that a person would want to pay by credit card.

They thought it perfectly normal to accept only cash.

Finally I had my ticket and was ready to go.

I had a seat on the 'Youth Dream 2’, bus services are sometimes given a name in Japan.

Mine was a nighttime service, hence the 'dream’ bit.

And the 'youth’ part was meant to mean that the seats mightn’t be as comfortable as on premium services. 

The curtains are drawn tight on the 'Youth Dream 2’. The driver comes on the microphone when we’re all settled in.

He’s ever so gentle, he’s almost whispering into the microphone. 

The 'dream’ service isn’t necessarily a nightmare but we get to Tokyo Station the next morning so early that I wish I’d taken a sleeping pill. It’s 05.30 and the sun is up.

Tokyo is fully lit.

Pulling into Tokyo Station I see a Tokyo that is definitely a city of gleaming towers more than one of dreaming spires.

with plenty more gleaming towers on the way

There’s nothing open in the station apart from a ticket sales booth. Still, I hang around for a couple of hours.

I take a couple of subways to my hostel in the Asakusa district.

One of the first people I pass by on the street in Asakusa after getting off the metro is a Sumo wrestler.

He’s out for a walk.

This is Tokyo!

Tokyo Revengers Splashes Down in 5 Tower Records Pop-Up Shops for Summer

  It's all fun in the sun this year and the boys of Toman are gonna hard with the attacks ... from their water guns! Tower Records announced today that Tokyo Revengers will be opening a pop-up shop in five different locations inside the store around Japan based on the above visual of the Toman boys playing with water guns. The goods will be available in-store and at the Tower Records Online shop from June 3 to 18.

  Here's a sample of the goods that will be on sale at Tower Records Tokyo Revengers shops across Japan:

        The participating Tower Records that will have the Tokyo Revengers shop include the infamous Shibuya store, the Sendai Parco store, the Nagoya Kintetsu Pass'e store, Umeda's NU Chayamachi store, and the Amu Plaza Hakata store. Those who spend over 2,000 yen (US$15.55) will be given a portrait postcard of one of the Toman boys from the visual at random in their sweet summer gear!

  RELATED: Tokyo Revengers Takes the Fight to the JOYPOLIS Amusement Park in New Collaboration

  The first season of the TV anime adaptation of Tokyo Revengers streamed on Crunchyroll as it aired from April to September 2021, with the next arc currently in production. Crunchyroll describes the series as such:

  Takemichi Hanagaki is a freelancer that's reached the absolute pits of despair in his life. He finds out that the only girlfriend he ever had in his life that he dated in middle school, Hinata Tachibana, had been killed by the ruthless Tokyo Manji Gang. The day after hearing about her death, he's standing on the station platform and ends up being pushed over onto the tracks by a herd of people. He closes his eyes thinking he's about to die, but when he opens his eyes back up, he somehow had gone back in time 12 years. Now that he's back living the best days of his life, Takemichi decides to get revenge on his life by saving his girlfriend and changing himself that he'd been running away from.

continuing my trend of suggesting AUs that literally no one wants: Nagoya AU

it’s exactly the same as canon except inexplicably set in Nagoya

#I HAVE READ EXACTLY ONE (1) FIC SET IN NAGOYA #I KNOW TOKYO AND OSAKA AND KYOTO ARE SEXIER OR WHATEVER BUT CONSIDER: #NAGOYA HAS *looks at smudged writing on hand* MISO #DOES THE CANON FEATURE TOKYO TOWER? GOOD NEWS: NAGOYA HAS A TV TOWER TOO #IS THE CANON CENTERED ON THE YAMANOTE LINE FOR SOME REASON? JUST SET IT ON THE MEIJO LINE INSTEAD #DOES THE CANON HAVE UHHH *desperately flipping through list of things Nagoya has* AN AQUARIUM? GOOD NEWS!!!!! #'QUEENIE WHY DON'T YOU WRITE A FIC SET IN NAGOYA IF YOU LOVE NAGOYA SO MUCH?' YOU SAY #WELL. THAT WOULD. REQUIRE WRITING THINGS. #DO I LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO WRITES THINGS REGULARLY? NO I DO NOT #Queenie actually says something on this blog #Nagoya

2020.12.16 The World You Live In at Zepp Nagoya, 2nd event report

For this one I was sitting in the last row on the 2nd floor😂 but the view was good, especially when watching the live footage.

This time Takabayashi also joined, he sat on the left, and we again got Die and Toshiya, with Fujieda on the right who again acted as the MC.

F again started the talk with the topic of the show without audience and Ochita. He asked band members about the flow of working on the songs, which to choose, how they decided to go with a song like that for a single. D replied that they make many songs for albums, when they work on the singles they want them to connect somehow, and he thinks they were able to do that.

T: what he said.

(true mastery of short answers aka no answers😂)

Next F again brought the merch items, saying he was wearing Die's mask, he liked it black.

D: it's a mask you can wear easily.

F: (struggling) ne...si...cessity.

D: again.

F: necessity.

(just leave him alone😂)

D: some people might find girls wearing black masks scary, so I added a bright element (to make it easier to wear).

(...but one of them says HURT???😂)

D: Ta(kabayashi), can you say 'necessity'?

Ta: not gonna play this game.

Then they laughed a bit about 'ビッグピックキーホルダー・biggu pikku・big pick'

T: which colour is the rare one?

F: I think they're all same.

T: how can you use it?

F: attach it to your bag etc I guess? You should know as a producer!

T: I guess I will use it as my pick at our next show.

F also brought items produced by other members, handing Shinya's bottle to T.

F: S also posted video promoting it on his instagram. It's really tiny.

T: how many of those I can drink in one day? (?)

D: but it is a perfect size for a bag.

Then F handed the pouch produced by Kaoru to D.

D: I guess masks can fit in, pick keychains can fit in, bottle can fit in, anything can fit in. 😂

F: there are 5 different merch items,please get them all.

After this it was time for the questions submitted by fans again.

D: ok, got one, from Kumi-san...

F: Tommy-san?

D: what? Why would you bring the boss up? It's from Kumi-san from Kagawa. 'please tell us your memory from Kagawa'.

F: we went there on tour last September.

D: Takamatsu, right? I remember I was watching TV at the hotel, not going for dinner... ah no, I got a take out, chicken, a big one, I was eating it alone.

F: what about you, T?

T: hmmm, I guess udon?

F: you eat udon a lot.

T: I eat everything. It was good then.

F told a story about playing around when waiting for band members to get ready to leave (Kaoru), he imitated Shinya playing drums. He said it was very embarrassing so he remembers it very clearly. Did S upload a video of that on his Channel?

T: 'please tell us your good and bad points of Fujieda'. He can eat anything, everything tastes good for him? As for bad points, everything tasted good for him?

(everyone laughed)

D joked that instead of getting 'good point' (like a grade at school) he has more 'passable points'.

D: 'can you tell us about your outfits today? I noticed that Toshiya's socks are very cute!'

T got surprised people noticed something like that, his red socks. F said that most likely a fan who attended the 1st slot noticed and sent that question.

T: I received them, they are just red checkered socks.

Ta: 'what kind of bath salts do you use?'

D: recently I don't use any (then he joked about the smell of old guys at the gym?)

T: I don't really use it.

They teased F for playing with the foam in the bath.

Then D talked about some gel type bath Kaoru recommended him, at Fukuoka during the tour in the past (?)

Ta commented that when hot the water in Tokyo smells. Water in the countryside like Nagano is better quality.

F: 'what song did you listen to the most during pandemic? It can be an artist.'

D: Kimetsu one?

F: 'Kousui' is also played everywhere.

they also said they listen to dir songs. D said he listens to the setlists from the audiostreams and T and he joked a lot about not remembering some of the older songs, like 'we made this??'😂 they also talked about the flow of songs.

T: 'how did you decide the members for each venue?'

Ta: I thought about many factors before deciding.

F: basically Ta decided it.

Ta: I thought about who should go where, who to pair together, about who went to which event in the past.

D: I remember we had some event at a department store in Nagoya.

T: at Parco, there was a signing event at Tower Records. At the same time there was an event I liked? ...no one knows it? Sorry, I guess you're all too young, there's a generation gap here.

😂

T: 'do you have any plans for shows next year?'

They explained that the situation is not looking good and shows have big chance being postponed.

F: but we are thinking about the things we can do. But those two people definitely want to play a concert.

T: this many people are waiting so we have to.

D talked about getting out of Tokyo and ??

Ta: 'it suddenly got really cold. Could you tell us any stories about snow or cold weather?' (he added joking) Nagano stories?

T: you think you're funny.

F: but I love oyaki (it's famous in Nagano stuffed dumpling, grilled).

T: I saw a cockroach for the first time only when I went to Tokyo and then Kyoto. Nagano is too cold for them.

F: Hakkaido too.

(Toshiya, I really feel ya, I've only encountered roaches after I came to Japan💀)

they talked about fighting with them, D used something to immobilize them (???)

T: they are so big. When we filmed Clever Sleazoid video I just stepped on one.

F (laughing): went 'kyaaaa' and stepped on it!

T also talked about the old story when they just started a band and they came to Nagano to meet T, there was a lot of snow then and all band members got super excited because of it, starting to play in snow. T's mother took a photo of them, that photo is still at T's home at Nagano.

F: who was driving then?

T: Aki-san, from the previous company.

D: I didn't know it gets all snowy like that.

Then they talked about old simple phones without cameras and cameras they used, heavy bricks.

T: sorry, generation gap again.

F: what happened to the 'cold' topic? Why roaches???

Ta: we can do 2 more questions.

T: F, why did you ???

F told us a story about almost being in a traffic accident on a highway driving from Nagoya when suddenly their tyre got a hole, but thanks to his super special technique he could stop the car.

D: how long was this whole situation?

F: one minute. Thanks to my special technique.

they also talked about Shinya driving😂

Next, T: 'why did F use a name Rei with ShibireBajiru (band where F's played drums)? Question from Toshiya from Tokyo'

😂

But F's explanation was about the image names have and that Rei has a strong image. About which T and D teased him a lot.

As the last question they talked about alarm clocks, 'can you wake up without alarm clock?'

D: recently I can.

T: I can wake up when I can wake up.

F: ...so when you can't you can't?

T: ...(be quiet you)

D: so what time do you wake up?

T: 4 or 5, then I work.

D wakes up around 6~7

Extra question, F: 'what's your fav nabe (hot pot)?'

D: nabe?

F: for me it's motsunabe (offal hot pot). That place in Fukuoka.

T: you prefer miso type? Or soy sauce?

F: in the past Shinya gave me a very firm 'I don't need any of the miso one', he was so angry about food😂

F talked about the additional event online again and the announced video with virtual characters the previous day. Filming was done a bit earlier.

T: it was unexpectedly fun.

F: let's spend New Year Eve together.

Last comments.

Die: thanks for comming to the event, especially in such a cold weather. This was a safe way, the situation is not good, we can't hold shows at the moment, we want to make songs and work on the next album.

Toshiya: thank you for coming on a cold day. I'd like to say what I want, but it's hard because of this situation. The band is searching for the things we can do. Please wait for us. Next year, I want to stand on the stage in front of you (at a concert).

D asked T for the red version of the pick to take photo with it. He took it to his spot at kamite area, adding 'next year I will use it'.

(Die mobile members probably will get to enjoy that photo?)
