Posted by husky51 on 09.12.2023, 06:21 AM: toriforiumu, Welcome to the Tavern... As arren said, it has been pretty quiet around the neighborhood these day, but we are anticipating that with the overall release of "How Do You Live", that activity will pick up... We will just have to wait and see...

Posted by arren18 on 09.15.2023, 11:36 PM: If you found the stuff about rakugo interesting, I would recommend watching the anime series Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju. You get a real feel for what it's all about, and the lifestyles of traditional entertainers in (if I remember right) the 50s or 60s.

Posted by husky51 on 09.25.2023, 10:48 PM: hahaha, I'd love to give you some tips, tori, but when I was in Japan it was back in '66 and '67 and I'm sure that things have change quite a bit by now... The only amusement park I went to was Disneyland, the Japanese one... , I watched the western TV show 'Bonanza' in Japanese with no subtitles... I couldn't understand a word they said, but it was funny listening to Hoss Cartwright speaking in a high-pitched, rapid Nihongo (Japanese)...

Posted by toriforiumu on 09.26.2023, 07:55 PM: I like ghibli as evident lol… but i also really like cute stationary, nature, history, museums, blind bags/gacha machines, stores that sell cute homeware/plushies/stationary, and desserts!

Posted by arren18 on 09.27.2023, 08:17 AM: If you want to get anime/manga stuff, I'd say you have to go to Akihabara in Tokyo - as you probably already knew. Nakano Broadway and Ikebukuro are other decent options in Tokyo for that kind of thing, or if you're in the Osaka area, I'd recommend Nipponbashi in Osaka or San Plaza in Kobe. I also think your best bet is often not to go for shops like Animate that sell the latest stuff, but instead to check out second-hand shops like Mandarake and Suruga-ya.

Posted by husky51 on 09.30.2023, 07:52 PM: Oh, MY! I can't hardly believe it... I found the Benny Hill show!!!! Now if I could only find the "Rowan and Martin Laugh In" show... You bet your Bippy, I'd be happy... That would be the 'Flying Fickle Finger of Fate' pointing me in the right direction, for sure! lol |

Posted by arren18 on 11.22.2023, 01:30 AM: Pretty much anything is appropriate in here If nobody's starting fights or trying to sell something, it's all good!

Posted by husky51 on 11.22.2023, 06:23 AM: If a woman was having trouble with birthing a large child or one with an enlarged head, the saw was used to help remove some bone or cartilage from the pelvic bone to slightly widen the birth canal...

Posted by husky51 on 11.27.2023, 07:27 AM: Scanning the NHK channel last night, found an hour long show about FEMALE SUMO wrestlers!!! Never knew before that women pareticipated in this sport! They trained in the same dojo as the male trainees, often competing and training with and against them... the only difference being that the women competed clothed with the sumo belt over ther clothing, while the men trained in the normal attire, ie, just the belt... |
