for context everyone there is on the international team and some have literally heard me speaking in (broken) Japanese to students before

Kokoro @kokoroakechi.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

People really sat around like "dang do we have anyone who can speak Japanese to help the Japanese students at orientation" while I'm literally sitting right here like

dealer recommended a body shop for my car and they wanted to replace two doors & quoted $4k, saying I was t-boned when I specifically said it was a sideswipe at low speed another shop actually listened to me and quoted $1.8k lmao

I'm pretty sure the nearby arcade that isn't round 1 has a kc arcade machine but idk how that works since the credit system is tied to the card printer don't want to have to pay an entrance fee just to pay for game credits on top of it

Kokoro @kokoroakechi.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

kancolle may be fuckin dead but I got hooked on the arcade game again on my recent Japan trip thanks to all the pokemon & one piece tcg hype, the market for kc cards perfect for getting back into the game since nobody wants this shit anymore lol (but damn it made finding physical shops hard)

Still amazed how I still have PTO right after taking a 3 week trip If flights and hotels weren't so fucking expensive I'd consider taking a short trip somewhere before the year ends smh

These will probably be terrible but I'm too curious to resist

very unfortunate that AI is being used for so many posters, signs, and menus here in Japan it's getting hard finding an izakaya that DOESN'T use any form of AI art here smdh

the event story, the backstory of Missilis/Matis, is fucked up god damn I wasn't expecting this lol

Kokoro @kokoroakechi.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

I almost chose the exact same apartment as my last trip but then remembered how my unit was missing a lot of things including remote batteries Not gonna try figuring out what's missing between multiple trips to Daiso again lmao

010

Kokoro @kokoroakechi.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Booked a place at the same station I was at for my last trip, but only for the first week. Being in that area was the best in terms of logistics, so it only made sense to start there. I'll decide where I wanna go for the 2nd half of my trip when I get there.

Kokoro @kokoroakechi.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

There are a few potentially good places but they all have at least one major flaw A deal breaker for me is not having a bidet, but the ones that do are mostly far from train stations, like really far

011

Kokoro @kokoroakechi.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Might have potentially fucked over my lodging situation in Japan but I had to cancel my apartment reservation after reading reviews and a lot of them mention noisy neighbors Two weeks from rn I'll be on a plane to Japan but I only have a hotel room booked for a few days nbd lol
