English speakers, what do you call this? Is it a plushie, a stuffie, or just a stuffed doll? Do you have a name for the one sold on the Checkpoint tour? (We call it NuiTaku in Japanese.) Thank you!

The guest this month on Flow is Taka from ONE OK ROCK. Apparently Kimura is a big fan, and he went into great detail about all the concert videos of theirs he's seen. Taka seemed happy but rather embarrassed!

This month on Flow they have been airing a live event where #KimuraTakuya answered questions from the audience. I’ve translated a little of it here: youtu.be/myQ3LxmKfNA #木村拓哉

The last couple of months have been rough, and I had no time/energy for translating. BUT I'm working on a little excerpt from this week's Flow now, should be done soon!

Maybe I'm slow to notice, but there are now 6 Kimura dramas on Netflix! I knew about A Life, GMT, and Good Luck!!, but more recently they've added Antarctica, Karei Naru Ichizoku, and Beautiful Life (all the ones that made me cry 😅)

Captain holding the microphone for his co-stars is somehow endearing. He doesn't want their hands to get cold?

Cisgender women in the US: please consider doing these things. The harassment of trans people does not make anyone safer. Don't let transphobes use us as an excuse for for their bigotry.

Re-watching *Grand Maison Tokyo* in advance of the new special. I’d forgotten how each main character has a food word embedded in their name (eg banana in OBANA NAtsuki and mirin in HayaMI RINko)

Scene from Grand Maison Tokyo episode 1: Hayami Rinko is sitting outside a Parisian cafe, being served a meal by Obana Natsuki
