Maybe even a painful sleep. Trying to sleep was stressful, especially when viewing the TV channels being cut out at random times throughout the night made everything being weird. I used the TV as background noise and light. Once I woke up at 8 am I viewed more about the Tokyo snowstorm. I played both Azur Lane and Blue Archive, as per usual. Time zones force me to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had my room changed, went to a Konbini and a terrace to eat. I traveled to Nakajima Park to see how it appeared in winter, happily taking Azur Lane pictures in every which way I could. I would eventually make my way to Mount Moiwa, stay for a lengthy while, and even capture myself on the livestream. Went back to see the Susukino Ice World, and to play Busou Shinki Arcade for the rest of the night. Topped off by Azur Lane&#8217;s new update, and Blue Archive gacha get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Japan Trip 2024:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=7890\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Day 1<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=7993\">Day 2<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8003\">Day 3<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8028\">Day 4<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8039\">Day 5<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8062\">Day 6<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8112\">Day 7<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8179\">Day 8<\/a>] \u2013 [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8191\">Day 9<\/a>] &#8211; [<a href=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8210\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/?p=8210\">Day 10<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>I packed everything back up for a room change. I made my way out of the spooky 210 hotel room, I waited in the lobby for 11 AM to come. A male kid came up to me, even kicking me in the feet while I was writing away in my travel journal log. Why?! What did I do? What do you want? Why did you kick me? I was writing in my travel journal log, something which may have been weird to the kid. Japanese kids are weird. I simply stared at him, waited, and went back to making note in my travel log.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When my time was ready, when it turned 11 AM, I attempted to explain my situation to the hotel clerk. When I had my room changed I attempted to explain everything at the counter desk, even what I was told by another staff member the night prior. I attempted to tell her what I was instructed to do, though sadly interrupted halfway through my explanation in her frustration of me explaining the situation. She was frustrated with me, yet helpful. She tried helping me out, yet disappointed, frustrated, and even asked me as to the reasoning of my hotel room change. I told her I felt uneasy, furniture being loose, and it wasn&#8217;t the right room. Yes, it was my mistake to accept the room, I however shouldn&#8217;t have had been asked that question of desiring to have that 210 room when I first arrived. I was provided my room, the key for the new room, and told how to get there. I even had access to the nearby fancy stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That whole hotel is very old. It needs a proper modernization effort. I also briefly played the new Azur Lane update prior to leaving. Just a quick test run at 11:26 AM. Even Blue Archive for the lewd Lemon event done in a board game and cardgame style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q7765a\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53890341685_94c70204f9_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240206_114546\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; My Konbini meal for breakfast. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q76F2z\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53890260799_581ac14c4f_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240206_114548\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Poi!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q7764J\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53890341660_7aaff6b90c_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240206_114755\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While eating up here, and as I also left, a security guard may have attempted to come near me probably to stop me from eating up there.

Just a winter stroll, and to also go down memory lane. I also desired to see if anything was hidden away in the park. Maybe some events, or similar.

It wasn&#8217;t an actual foot path, it was made by some other people. I followed it slightly to take some neat AR mode of Azur Lane shipgirls, especially of Murmanks in the above picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why Russians? Because they&#8217;re wearing winter wear, and they&#8217;re easier to use in this winter setting. Azur Lane is a highly suggestive game (nearing R18 levels) to the point I have to use those with actual winter wear, such as HMS Eskimo, Russian shipgirls (Northern Parliament), and similar. HMS Swiftsure was just for the fun of it because I needed variety, and people would usually leave me comments of &#8211; &#8220;<em>she looks cold<\/em>&#8221; &#8211; making me just do things for the fun of it. They would leave me such comments for Busou Shinki Renge, even if she is robotic, and similar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If KanColle had AR mode I would have used that openly. If Azur Lane provided me Canadian shipgirls I would have taken tons of images of them in Sapporo, especially along side the Northern Parliament Russian shipgirls. I&#8217;m not allowed to have my Canadian shipgirls so I can&#8217;t have my fun there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q766eD\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53890147123_f67e1da00f_c.jpg\" alt=\"azur202425202545.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"369\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; Avrora from Azur Lane using AR Mode.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q74RYW\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53889907426_8ac473fc04_c.jpg\" alt=\"azur20242520264.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"369\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; Tashkent Muse from Azur Lane (AR Mode).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q6ZbPY\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53888995262_987e49aff6_c.jpg\" alt=\"azur202425202620.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"369\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; Tashkent from Azur Lane (AR Mode).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q74RXt\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53889907341_785ce0f917_c.jpg\" alt=\"azur202425202652.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"369\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; Sovetskaya Belorussiya from Azur Lane (AR Mode).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q775S1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53890340980_6d38625770_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240206_122729\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; V!

She was neat in her introductory event, and more so thanks to her healing abilities in the fleet. She&#8217;s one of my most MVP (Most valuable player) characters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The observatory also reminded me of mostly fond memories from my Vancouver trip of being taken there by a friend and his girl. We arrived somewhat late, if still in time to see the lovely scenic space observation, a speech by a wheezing guy, and a nice tour all around. Even seeing the star clusters, my friend commenting about how I would learn on the telescope viewing the star cluster, etc. It was awkward viewing through the telescope with how it was positioned, etc. It&#8217;s still a fond memory regardless of some slight negativities. Some old cars spotted after the tour, a nice walk around the observatory. I have tons of positive memories from Vancouver (and British Columbia), something which this Sapporo observatory is able to positively make me recall..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve also externally observed this observatory back in 2023, similar to what I was doing on this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q771Q8\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53890327415_7d8e08b7e0_c.jpg\" alt=\"azur20242520501.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"369\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; HMS Cygnet (Retrofit) from Azur Lane (AR Mode).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve chosen Cygnet here for her slight Canadian reference, one which I&#8217;m not allowed to fully make note of.

I&#8217;m not allowed to share my Canadian pride because Canada&#8217;s existence offends people, even if they had actual real-world shipgirls under actual Canadian banners. Canada known as an Angry Beaver, Royal Navy as an Lion, and Americans under a Eagle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>Hur, dur,&#8230; it&#8217;s because Canada&#8230;..<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, that&#8217;s just a lame excuse. As is the &#8216;Minor Nation&#8217;, and any other nonsense. HMAS Perth in KanColle has shown, and proved this is an excuse, and same with when adding an incomplete Canadian navy into Silent Hunter 3 back in 2006. They always fail to add in the whole naval line-up. If people simply implemented things for the whole fun of it, even if it&#8217;s a simple copy-paste job, and to remind Canadians what they&#8217;ve had in the actual world line-up then everything would be great. Japanese mediums usually do things for the whole fun of it, and it&#8217;s why I favour them over lazy, tardy, and excuse-making Western mediums. Even if you have to copy and paste something it&#8217;s still worthwhile, just as long as it still has some identifying differences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q74RJs\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53889906586_4f6f564a1d_c.jpg\" alt=\"azur202425205112.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"369\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; HMS Foxhound (Retrofit) from Azur Lane (AR Mode).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My frustration showing, forced to use proxy shipgirls of the Royal Navy to share my Canadian pride in Sapporo.

They simply slandered her for her oversized breasts, ones which real women do have, yet Western Prudes, Liberals, and political activist all unfaithfully hijack for their own brainless idiotic nonsense. They aren&#8217;t even being truthful. They only hate Kashino because they&#8217;re not behaving like real human beings. Fake people hating on Kashino. I understand if KanColle Admirals hate Kashino, that&#8217;s different. That&#8217;s Japanese nationalism, not prudism. Japanese are nationally proud of their own traditions and culture, something Western folks have been taught not to be proud of their own culture. Look at how fragile and scared Germany is of their own identity. They always have their tails between their legs. Cowards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kashino is adorable, cute, and relatable. Hell, even girls\/women have stated they desired to admire Kashino&#8217;s giant bust size. They need visual pleasures just as males do.

Females also desire a good female visual candy, even if they do tend to actively sabotage one another in jealousy and rage in a real world setting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Many doujin, Anime, and Japanese creators designing and coming up with overly lewd female characters are of female origins. Females drawing lewd females, and females love being lewd. They love letting loose, probably more than guys do. Neptunia character designs, Fate\/Grand Order, Azur Lane, KanColle, etc. You name it, bound to be a female artist having made overly lewd art for Anime mediums. One F\/GO female character was highly lewd to the point Fate\/Grand Order had to censor her own creation. Just look at &#8220;some&#8221; of the female characters for Fate\/Grand Order, they&#8217;re highly suggestive with covered tops and exposed crotches. Prudish, Liberals, and political activists are natural pathological liars, it&#8217;s why they always post on Reddit to pretend to feel better about normal people doing normal things in life. Compulsive &amp; pathologically lying on their end. Crab mentality nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m simply into female beauty, Azur Lane naval goodness, and the honesty of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean media honest, even if Chinese &amp; Korean tourists are rude themselves, and Chinese mediums are censored by the Chinese government. I&#8217;m a guy, of course I&#8217;m into admiring the natural feminine form in its natural beautifully fit form. If I wasn&#8217;t I wouldn&#8217;t be a normal human being&#8230;.. The art, Japanese or Chinese, is honest! I respect genuine honesty. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait to see political activists, trolls, and Rising World fake-admirers reap what the karma that they&#8217;ve sown. Being fake offended by what I&#8217;ve said, and even for Red51 pretending to be clueless about the whole matter. Karma eventually catches up to each and everyone with the honest individual always winning in the end. Fake people may win battles, they however shall never win the wars.

I wouldn&#8217;t be able to finish it properly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Satisfied by what I&#8217;ve seen in both the Susukino Ice World, and the one (or a few ) gimmicky tourist trap stores, I&#8217;ve went to &#8216;Round One&#8217; to play a mixture of Busou Shinki Arcade and KanColle Arcade. Mainly Busou Shinki, or solely just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Busou Shinki Arcade &#8211; Armored Princess Battle Conductor:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve spent a fair amount of time seeking this out on both my 2023, and 2024 trips. I finally found it in Round One in Sapporo (Susukino) area. Finally! All because I desired to play KanColle Arcade, and to also stay away from my spooky hotel room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q768nr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53890154303_ec72f7d18d_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240206_201637\" width=\"450\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; Trying out Busou Shinki Arcade (Armored Princess Battle Conductor) for the first time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I asked as to where to find a proper Busou Shinki Arcade machine, nobody told me. Nobody told me from both the Japanese and English side of thing Twitter\/X. Disappointed, I played KanColle Arcade instead with how friendly, gifting, and hospitable the Japanese locals were instead during my 2023 trip. I&#8217;m still thankful and grateful for the effort they made to be friendly with me by sending me a thank you signed autograph and a drawing of Renge. It however peeves me off when people needlessly throw me under the bus over trivial nonsense, something which shouldn&#8217;t even be an issue in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I simply desire to have fun with both KanColle &amp; Busou Shinki because they&#8217;re fun. I desired to also obtain Shinki Renge, even if it would hurt my wallet. I wanted to obtain my precious Renge before I had to return back to Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It makes me sad how certain people are allowed to admire, play, and have fun with Busou Shinki, yet other people are always a piece of trash to those people. Then there are those who I dislike who tend to hijack Busou Shinki for clout and I simply become frustrated as to how there&#8217;s no unity, cohesion, or communication. Only clout chasing, fake popularity cliques, and other idiocies. I simply desire to have fun with Busou Shinki, and that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m doing with this Busou Shinki Arcade. I&#8217;m on a hunt for my Renge! My own copy of Renge, in card form, and for myself. I don&#8217;t have to deal with no fake-clout chasing idiots. The ones who always agitate me are always the non-Japanese (Western people) by pretending they own Busou Shinki, even preventing me from having my own fun with Busou Shinki Arcade. I found it, and in Sapporo. Now I can have my own fun! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q6ZdWo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53889002362_23f849a15a_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240206_201757\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211;

WOOOOO! I have Benio! My precious, and actual first Busou Shinki character in figure form. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I was introduced to Shinki Renge by a guy named &#8216;Persocom&#8217;, he however disappeared for whatever reason. Maybe I offended him, or life threw him under the bus again. Whatever the reason, he introduced me to Shinki Renge during her release year, something which I happily jumped on. I obtained Shinki Benio at my local Anime Store, and then Kohiru after that through an online Japanese figure shop. All three were a neat get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of Shinki Renge I obtained Benio first, Kohiru second, and Renge third. I respect my Renge. It&#8217;s why I make &#8216;Kon!&#8217; fox gestures. Fox girls are awesome, especially of the folklore and mythology types presented on Pixiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q74TiK\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53889911881_66d0c9565d_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240206_212543\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q6Zdao\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53888999752_08951ea98d_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240206_212544\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q763zF\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53890138193_d064716a68_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240206_212558\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q773nG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53890332610_d780f435fe_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240206_212639\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; She&#8217;s neat!

I would play the arcade game later, and had fun times both here, and provided Busou Shinki 3D models for Renge, Kohiru, and Sharatang. They sadly became fed up with whatever negativity effecting me, and how boring my other friends were in the Discord group. They left my Discord, not to be seen ever again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why I have trust issues when people simply bail for no valid reason, other than other people always chose to be boring, fickle, and frustrating. Other people chose to mess with fake politics, spew fake political drivel, and never conversed with myself and Key Mace causing them to eventually leave. I&#8217;m still peeved at people and how fickle, fragile, and boring people tend to be after they themselves fail to stay entertaining. I, at least, found more to admire with the Japanese side of things, hence why I always, always, 100% favour Japanese content over Western mediums. People always frustrate me, and I always radiate that because they always, always, always throw people under the bus. That includes myself in how I&#8217;m also thrown under the bus in overly frustrating manners. It&#8217;s why I&#8217;m a recluse, why I don&#8217;t converse with people that much, and why I&#8217;m always frustrated with people. I struggle to talk to people with how abusive and how dishonest people tend to be. Not always, though for the majority of where I roam. I&#8217;ve always been betrayed, backstabbed, and lied to, hence why I tend to stay silent in conversations. They can&#8217;t stay straight, and true to themselves. It&#8217;s why I latch on tightly to Japan and Anime because both Japan and Anime doesn&#8217;t betray, only people do. Anime is my blessing and I admire it so. I thank Key Mace for the help, files, and conversations we had, it&#8217;s however disappointing at how fleeting everything is. Everything blows in the wind like loose paper from an office desk. Fickle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like I said, people are fickle. Like fragile ice covering snow after freezing rain. People come and go just like the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q6Zd6F\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53888999537_a4c70b9233_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240206_212656\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m well aware people are aware I have frustration issues. If people would stop being fickle, would actually be honest, and actually be naturally curious (as the guy who observed me playing Busou Shinki Arcade was), everything would be fine. It would be nice if people would stop being loose, stop blaming me for everything, and just have fun, the Japanese and Anime way. We need to learn how to have proper, constant, fun and entertainment. More loyal to our hobbies in an honest manner. No flip flopping. I&#8217;m not blaming &#8216;Key Mace&#8217;, I&#8217;m blaming the clique and &#8220;looseness&#8221; of people. I would be less frustrated if people were more honest with their actual interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When people follow me on social media I always expect them to unfollow me within a few days, weeks, or even months. It always surprises me when people hang around longer, even chiming in a few years later. It always surprises me when old faces chime in to praise, briefly converse, or just have fun, and etc. I respect honest people like that. I however get annoyed at people being disconnected, being fickle, and loose. Even pretending to admire something they actually do not admire. All fake-face behaviour. Pathological liars type behaviour from people. According to Google a pathological liar is worse than a compulsive behaviour, something which I&#8217;ve seen various people do to fit into both those molds in Busou Shinki and Rising World communities. Mainly in Western oriented circles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, the Japanese community was overly friendly with me, if on the silent side. Respectful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q6Zd4S\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53888999432_b20caf1a59_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240206_212812\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q76CaC\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53890251174_c19f258251_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240206_213015\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; The three cool Busou Shinki characters. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2q76C9f\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53890251094_f19af17d93_c.jpg\" alt=\"20240206_213017\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8211; Let&#8217;s go!

It&#8217;s as if I walked into an abandoned hotel which still functions. It was better, still however creepy. The same drawer would open making me annoyed. I played Azur Lane, Blue Archive, and rested myself to sleep. Just calming my nerves while keeping certain lights and TV on, as I always do in hotels. I&#8217;m alone in Japan and my nerves are jumpy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had fun exploring Nakajima Park, playing with Azur Lane&#8217;s AR mode, yet disappointed slightly by the new TB update. It has to be played somewhat perfectly to gain what you desire of it. Threading the needle, basically. There is no leeway, no wiggle room for relaxing. The new update was neat, it however disappointed slightly, hence why I never really finished it 100%. I made it to the second stage, just not the third. Certain Japanese players beat TB&#8217;s care &amp; raising in one day, even regretting having done so. Very stressful for them. Blue Archive was better, if more of a catch up and keeping up. I obtained Kaho, even if Blue Archive is known in teasing me. I&#8217;m happy to have Atsuko in my unit list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had new plans of going back to Mount Moiwa to obtain a stamp for the next day. Spoiler: I never obtained a stamp from Mount Moiwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for viewing, hope to see you in the next Japan blog post! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,185,17],"tags":[60,186,228,226],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8234"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8234"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8234\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8260,"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8234\/revisions\/8260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticukitsu.com\/Blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
