I planted a Higgins cherry tree in my front yard, but it hasn't bloomed this year yet. There are some here and there, but it's very different from having entire parks dedicated to them.

Once again I wish our board has a "care" reaction a la the Book of Faces.

Very true. Or residential streets, as is common here.

Still, while our parks and universities do draw crowds of viewers (both locals and Japanese tourists and expats), it's not quite the same as the original.

Miley was originally going to do a live stream (to which Allspark' media plugin can't link), but technical difficulties meant we get a conventional bideo instead!

It also ties in to Band-Maid, which apparently her walking tour company is going to have some themes involving next month....

In which Miley the former idol interviews a former maid.


Alphabet (Google and YouTube's parent company) seems to be trying out some new setting options, so you may have to tinker with the audio playback to get the actual voices and not a bunch of rapid text-to-speech, as I initially heard.

Continuing the theme, in the absence of new direction from tec....
Behold! A theme in search of an anime....


You can see some of the shots that Miley recreated in this bideo. One commenter said, regarding the original sequences, "She's running to do more media spots."

Another entry in the "foreign prince hunt" saga.

This time, the wackiness is capped by a special announcement from Mihel herself.

Though everyone shares quite a bit, this time around....

My Japanese girlfriend sent me these photos that she took of some lovely young ladies in Tokyo.

She wrote "It's summer!".

Note: - The pixelation isn't covering nude images, but rather a denim thong/hotpants thingy. I've obscured it as due diligence.

This is why I love my girlfriend...

So... PrimalxConvoy, do you remember talking about your girlfriend's martial prowess?

I was reminded of that when I saw this post elseweb. It seems that two anime fans whose cosplays I have been showing off in the anime thread here are having themselves a competition....

What's next, Miyazaki pulling an Uwe Boll and fighting Lord of the Rings fans? 🙃

I just didn't expect the Makima/Reze matchup to get this real....

Nice! It's this going to happen in Japan? What characters are they going to be?

Sadly, it looks to be an American event, but I believe it will be streamed. There's been no word over whether it will be in cosplay -- although it would make a nice tie-in to the Chainsaw Man movie if they did (Julia has in my opinion been the go-to Makima performer on these shores, and Stella has portrayed Reze, Himeno and Asa).
