Ashido: "Ohoo~! Have I got a scoop on a summer fling!?" All Might: "I have come to rubberneck!! ...not! Let's go, Young Ashido!" Yaoyorozu: "Since Kaminari-san has overslept again this morning, please be careful as the class representative." Iida: "Indeed! After all, disturbance of life's daily rhythm is no good." Narrator: "The class president was simply communicating with administration."

Hakuto Coast is a magnificent beach beside a shrine famous for being the location of the so-called "first love story" wherein the white rabbit (the shrine's namesake, 白兎) played matchmaker for deity Ōkuninushi and princess Yagami after Ōkuninushi advised the rabbit on how to heal its wounds.

Shouji: "What an incredible slope!" Iida: "Aah, this will be hard, but at the top of that slope a spectacular view of the ocean and a sense of accomplishment await you... Give it your all, Engine!! You can do this!" Kaminari: "You're empathizing with the engines!?"

Eshima Ohashi is famous for being photographed in ways that distort its true slope gradient, making it appear insanely steep. It's steep, but not insanely so! I guess Iida identifies with engines.

Best Jeanist: "Don't give me the cold shoulder. Just say the word and I'll coordinate any number of jeans outfits for us!" Bakugou: "I WAS JUST PASSING BY, ALL RIGHT!!!" Kaminari: "Now, now, now..." Mineta: "C'mon, you can be honest!"

Kojima Jeans Street is a popular tourist destination in Kurashiki City, as it has been dubbed the birthplace of blue jeans in Japan from its first production in the 1960s. Kacchan is in denial--accept your fate and wrap yourself in the weft of rich indigo!!

Kaminari: "Hey! Just a minute ago it was on land, now it's under water!?" Bakugou: "It's just high tide, ain't it!!" Sero: "Ohh, right, the whole thing with the moon's gravity. So, it sinks once every day?" Bakugou: "High tide comes twice a day, don't it!! Go back to kindergarten and start over, you pieces of trash!!"

Visiting Itsukushima Shrine, whose torii entrance appears to be floating in the water at high tide and is made out of decay-resistant camphor wood. The shrine buildings themselves are built up so as to not be submerged.

Kaminari: "Wheeeey..." Sero: "I'd rather be a dancing idiot than a wheeey idiot!" Crowd: "Both are idiots, so why, oh why, not dance~!" Ashido: "Let's go, everyone!! We're all part of this!"

Tokushima's Obon festival includes the Awa dance, wherein huge crowds of people dance in procession over a period of three days. Here's an example! They also often sing a song, dating back to a popular tune from the Edo period, which says both dancers and watchers are idiots, so if you don't dance, it's your loss!

Uraraka: "I'm gonna take a picture!" Dark Shadow: "Aieee!" Hagakure: "All righty~!" Sero: "Looking at this kinda thing, it's like seeing a monster in a dungeon." Jirou: "Use delicacy!!"

Ryūga Cave of Kami City is one of the biggest limestone caves in all of Japan; formed over a period of 175 million years, ancient artifacts from the Yayoi period (~300 BCE to 300 CE) have been found within it. Sero, how could you be so cavalier! Dark Shadow is a good boy!!

Hyper-obscure promotional collaborations in PPTP S2

I've grown really fond of season two's new gimmick of official in-show ads for prefectural shops and destinations

Apollon (music store, 6 locations in Niigata)

Washuzan Highland (amusement park in Okayama which is where bkub is from now that I think of it actually)

Kappa Sushi (nationwide chain)

And my favorite really weird one, SunPole... which is not an indie anime studio like I first thought, but rather Japan's leading manufacturer of flagpoles and traffic rails for public spaces.

This model is cutely named "Piccolino," and it is designed for placement in playgrounds. SunPole also makes a version called "KAERU," which features a frog ornament. Here's what they look like on SunPole's website:

Any visits to Okinawa captured on camera?

I still could't go to Okinawa, but it's on my plans!

I still haven't visited Shikoku either.

I was planning to visit in 2020 but then Covid hit, and then traveling became very complicated in general.

My goal was to go to Naha and to Miyako and Ishigaki.

I'm not sure if this year it will be possible, but it's on my wishlist destinations.

For this year I'm probably gonna visit Miyajima now that they removed the tori scaffolding, and I was checking Okayama lately as a possibility. (And then traveling abroad, but those pictures usually don't end up here haha)

[60/200] Shingu Castle Ruins (2023-01-28) Only a few more castles left in the Kansai region! For this trip, I used a special kind of ticket instead of the usual Seishun 18 ticket: the Kansai Wide Area Pass, a variant of the almight JR pass. Normally it's similarly restricted to foreigners that come into Japan as a Temporary Visitor, but until March 2023 they released an "Excursion Pass" that allows any non-Japanese resident regardless of their visa status. And yes, that includes shinkansen rides between Okayama and Shin-Osaka! While my original plans did not include any shinkansen ride, I did end up riding one eventually because I overslept and missed the first bus I needed to ride. Because of my strict scheduling it almost lead to missing my 4 hour train ride to Shingu, but this limited edition ticket already paid for itself. That said, turns out there was no need for hurrying to begin with; due to recent heavy snowfall and such, the aforementioned train got delayed by 100(!) minutes. Oh well, what can you do. At least I was able to get to my destination. Shingu is located in the southern end of Wakayama; a remote place but still known for its strong cultural history to this day: it's part of an old network of pilgrimage routes known as the Kumano Kodo. These routes are of importance to those who want to visit the three major Kumano shines: Kumano Hayatama Taisha, Kumano Hongu Taisha and Kumano Nachi Taisha. The first of the three, Kumano Hayatama, is located in the center of Shingu. Due to my delayed arrival, I couldn't really explore the area as much as I would like to, but I got what I came for: a quick stop at the Asuka Shrine for the castle stamp and a castle seal for commemoration. Apparently, the park used to be privately owned with a cable car and all, but after that got deserted the government slowly bought everything back to its current state. #新宮城跡 #熊野速玉大社 #阿須賀神社 #熊野古道 #青春18きっぷ #お城巡り #日本100名城 #続日本100名城 #shingucastle #kumanohayatamataisha #asukashrine #kumanokodo #japanesecastle #japanphoto #pixel6pro https://www.instagram.com/p/Co1d6VNLRAZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We’ve been together for 7 years. I joined the band, we changed the name from Hitori-Atelier to Hitorie, and now we’re here 7 years later. The Beatles disbanded after 7 years. The band BOØWY, and Number Girl too disbanded after 7 years. 7 years ago, I was in Nagoya, wowaka was in Tokyo, and ygarshy called me directly to say 'I'm in this sorta band right now and we're looking for a guitarist, so you come and do it.' I replied ‘Okay, understood.’ and just like that I went up to Tokyo and into the studio. At the time I didn’t know Leader’s face, I only knew him from the Skype group chat, where he told me the type of songs he wanted to play and dumped the demo mp3 files in the chat, and when I listened to it electricity ran through my veins  sparks were flying, I thought about how it was so destined to cause a revolution, and that I was to be a member of that revolution… I was so so so excited. That excitement was already 7 years ago, and I’m, still excited to the bones right now. And my excitement, that electricity which ran through my veins that day, I’m going to share with everybody here right now."

Yumao "Then Shinoda became a rock musician also." SND "What? Me?" Yumao "Yeah yeah" SND "Wait, I was something else all this time? I was just talking about how we’ve been doing this for 7 years..

And when he finally showed up, he was reeeeking of alcohol. At 12 in the afternoon nonetheless! So I asked him when he was drinking until, and he said “10 o’ clock AM. What a rock musician, right!!!"
