"Would you like some burger with your onions?" https://soranews24.com/2021/04/29/mos-burgers-new-release-takes-raw-onion-to-the-extreme/

The 7-11 saga of Osaka continues: "Across Japan, it can seem as if there’s a 7-Eleven on every corner. Now, on a single corner in a working-class suburb of Osaka, there are two. The unusual pairing is the latest manifestation of a grudge match between one of Japan’s most powerful companies and, arguably, one of its most stubborn men. Mitoshi Matsumoto, a franchisee, ran one of the two 7-Elevens until the chain revoked his contract in 2019 after he dared to shorten his operating hours. For over a year, his store has sat empty as he and 7-Eleven have battled in court over control of the shop. Fed up and with no end in sight, the company decided on a stopgap: It built a second shop in what used to be Mr. Matsumoto’s parking lot." https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/30/business/japan-7-eleven.html
searching the site to see if there is an atarashii gakko thread came up with @David61 post from 2015. compare leader suzuka to filthy frank, lulz, welcome to rice paddy...! single: if the video does not show watch the video here gakko and joji are both in #88rising best comment
Seems like the appropriate thread for a conspiracy theory. I think the coincidental hiatus of 4 prominent members is somehow related. Something like Vernal + bunshun planning meeting because these 2 feed off each other. 1 wants juicy stories, the other wants free press Bunshun: we got dirt on these 4 members (plus Sally but that's a gimme because that 48 hours was practically a honeymoon). AKB, NMB, STU : ok go ahead with Sumire and Suzuki it's in line with their character. We gotta get the other 2 on hiatus. I want to know when we get chiho and mikana back? All 4 really.
Based on yesterday's announcement, I wish I were the employee of this company: https://japantoday.com/category/fea...yee’s-favorite-idol-member-leaves-their-group

There was a mudslide in Atami, Haruu's hometown. Landslide in Japanese Resort Town Leaves at Least 19 Missing A torrent of mud and debris washed away homes in Atami, about 60 miles southwest of Tokyo, after more than a foot of rain fell in 48 hours. Update: Japanese media took down some news reports. Here are some replacement (as of July 11) if the video does not show watch the video here if the video does not show watch the video here if the video does not show watch the video here Here is a follow up from TBS if the video does not show watch the video here
The stage at an extremely rainy Mount Fuji Idol Festival which was held this weekend in Yamanashi Prefecture (and full marks to the determined video cameraman!): if the video does not show watch the video here The cameraman's Twitter account has his videos and photos from the event: https://twitter.com/pote_yamamura
I saw that ... I understood the rest of the festival was cancelled due to safety concerns floodings in Kyushu are even more extreme then last year
I'm posting it here rather than in the IZ*ONE thread (even though the group is clearly visible in the video thumbnail) as this is mainly a technical review by the British tech YouTuber Techmoan of the cassette player that came as part of the 'Rewind: Blossom' project package which the group were involved with: if the video does not show watch the video here At around the 2:50 mark Techmoan looks through the photocards and says: "some cards with a lot of pictures of young Korean people" in a rather unenthusiastic voice while I was yelling "That's Sakura and she's Japanese!" at the screen However when I first saw the video a few days ago (I'm a Patreon subscriber and I get to see Techmoan's videos in advance) I sent him a message explaining about the 'Rewind: Blossom' project and he's inserted much of what I told him at 3:12 in this general release edit of the video.
@David61 must be thrilled! "The British government said it was taking steps to return to its traditional system of imperial weights and measures, allowing shops and market stalls to sell fruits and vegetables labeled in pounds and ounces alone, rather than in the metric system’s grams and kilograms, a move it hailed as an example of the country’s new post-Brexit freedoms." Who wants a half kilo of chocolate when a pound will do? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/17/world/europe/imperial-measurements-pounds-ounces-return.html
No I am not thrilled lol. Yes let's go back to a system which hasn't been taught in schools here for over fifty years...

Where old photo sets go to die. First they are washed out to sea, but then they come back to shore. Because he loves his town, @warunori_55 regularly volunteers to help keep the beaches clean by picking up trash that’s been left behind by inconsiderate visitors or washed up on shore. Usually, that would mean things like empty drink containers and snack wrappers, but earlier this month he spotted some very different debris. Bunching together in the water near the shoreline were dozens of pieces of paper. Ordinarily, you’d expect such material to dissolve after prolonged exposure to saltwater, but these were laminated, because it turned out that they were… …pictures of idol singers! And not just any idols, but two especially famous ones, Natsumi Abe and Maki Goto. https://soranews24.com/2021/09/23/i...ger-photos-wash-up-on-japanese-coast【photos】/
