Let there be Chestnuts 🌰!!!

Kuruicco Factory in Yokohama now: watching them pump out sweet bars is calming. These things sell out everyday in the first 1 hour of sale! They have a shop at Daimaru Tokyo Station as well. The smell in here — is incredible! Had an ice cream 🍨 and coffee in their cafe.

My Emotional Reaction to today’s Earthquake Video

Many of you saw I was pretty hard hit by the earthquake simulator. Thank you for the messages! Please note what Sylvester Stallone said about life: “It's not about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. “

WE ALL have been hit hard...

Coming shortly, School Uniforms!

Just trying to fix the narration since I got a new mic, SM7B, sounds muddy. Have to figure out how to EQ it better. Would be a shame to release it as is - we had a massive rain storm last night that also knocked out the power. Weather’s so weird. Also plan to release the Japanese Toy Store episode before Christmas 🎅 with...
