This is not a drill. My local Hmart has real Japanese gachapon! Not just the US branded toys. Woo hoo!!!

[Juliann @KintsugiStyle]

Oh no. I seem to have picked up the wrong zodiac animal for this year.

[Juliann @KintsugiStyle]

Catching up on gacha pix. I’d have to look up my totals so maybe next time but these were from Thursday.

Do you like the stand?

@hizaga I was obsessed with bologna sandwiches in kindergarten (I think I had it every single day) but I hated condiments. So just Oscar Meyer and bread. After kindergarten I think I never had one again until high school or college! My family was sick of it 🤣 (tbf we ate mortadella)

@Gaijinotousan @dadsweb67 Just statistically speaking, most thieves in Japan either have four legs or wings.

[Juliann @KintsugiStyle]

@dadsweb67 You need the kind with video, otherwise who knows what is stealing the veggies from the garden?

[Juliann @KintsugiStyle]

@hizaga I’m very sorry for your loss.

[Juliann @KintsugiStyle]

Dropped by the Kenelestands in Ueno station last night — there are two now! One at the Ginza line and one at the JR station! Also got 1 at the Nihombashi information center.

I now have 3 that record voice memos!

Ah it was 76F/24C today so of course I saw people outside in a park in sweaters and hoodies. Guess it’s officially fall, y’all 😜 I don’t get Tokyoites.

Backlog: Takadanobaba station/Gashacoco near Ikebukuro Station

The train station (upper right) is by first one that requires batteries (not provided) but apparently it powers a whole set if I collect them? 🧐

The capsule thing kinda looks like a Ferris wheel car and we went on a Ferris wheel right after that.

[Juliann @KintsugiStyle]

Backlog Gach-ing!

On my birthday I caught a few passing Tennoji station in Osaka. The left is a capsule meant for displaying your prized gachapon (they can stack), on the right the record player can record two messages!

@hizaga We could have toured the factories but they’re massive and my legs couldn’t handle that. Instead in touring Kikkoman next week 😍

[Juliann @KintsugiStyle]

@hizaga This was the big museum in Kitakyushu. We went there just for that museum. 😅

[Juliann @KintsugiStyle]

Rainy weekday afternoon for the win, took just over 2 hours for 3 gacha centers in Sunshine city plus a new one I found at the Ikebukuro Seiyu line station. Normally that’s over 4 hrs. Still got 66 (although some are duplicates). When will you see them? Hahaha. I have no energy.
