Double Trouble #JapaneseRides


With my tax return, I have purchased my third Nissan Silvia. Yet another white S14 Kouki, but this one is a Q's Automatic, not a K's Manual. It's almost certainly going to become my daily driver. The black beast will be relegated to track duty only (as soon as I can actually afford to track it again).

"But wait, you can't even afford parking!?" is what you're going to say, but in a month, things will be a bit different. Soon, I'll be back in my natural habitat, behind the wheel, once more!

6Days8Minutes, Gratitude, a cover band and more... #7Days7Minutes (2016-03-07)



Another week, another late upload. Thanks for dealing with my constant lateness.  I wish I was only making videos here but quality content doesn't pay the bills (and I'd jump in front of a train before reducing myself to stupid 'top10 list bullshit assertion' vids) unless it's quality content for other people. Sadly, when I get any time away from work, I tend to want to avoid looking at any other videos, so things here start to go downhill.

Unfortunately, there is no way for me to change that, unless a magical trust fund appears, or I return to teaching (which I can't do right now because I shot that gig in the foot).

Here's to hoping I can find an escape before the stress kills me. Though right now... I'll take either outcome.

Kinshicho, Tokyo. 錦糸町 #RandomJapan



I'm liking the Shitamachi side of Tokyo a lot more these days. It's a lot more real than the Yamanote side.

Sakura Nights #RandomJapan








Approaching midnight, in a quiet residential park, in a bed-town southwest of the Tokyo madness, the atmosphere is as perfect as the sakura.

CP+ rant, Miso Ramen, plum blossoms and more... #7Days7Minutes (2016-02-22)



It's been a while since I've vented frustrations on this vlog, but what's a vlog, if not a place to vent. I make up for it with scenic shots of places no other J-vlogger will show, and some bonus CP+ fanservice to make up for it though.

Cyberpunk Cityscape from YouTube #spacetokyo


While I usually prefer the cockroach level views of the world's largest city, I've managed to ascend to haughty heights, and gaze upon the city through my nostrils, with the same contempt that those that dwell at these heights tend to have of people like me, twice in one week.

Whereas the previous time was as unconfortable as it was awe inspiring, this time,  I had no problems with being with my jumped-up status. After all,  If one is forced to be in Roppongi, it's always good to be as far as away from the streets, and it's multiple examples of the worst possible combinations our species' DNA is capable of producing, as possible.
