From another thread…

it's getting hard to find a Nintendo Switch Lite, because of Animal Crossing trend. My sister wants one now because all her friends are playing at home.

You just need to be a super mama-dol with a popular YouTube channel…

I don't think I've laughed this hard at an idol audition page.... ever? Looking through the participants is a roller coaster ride of uncountable purikura photos, odd angles, Facebook mom stock photos and selfies that have been wrung at least 10 times in the SNOW machine. Look, I love auditions. They're fun and exciting. Rooting for your favorite girl is great. But this? I genuinely have no words for this

Well this audition is very much being held out in the open.
I imagine Round 1 of any H!P Audition has a similar 'eclectic' mix of hopefuls before they reduce the number in subsequent rounds.

I'd imagine yeah, but seeing it so public is kind of jarring haha

Tsuji prepares honey-glazed sweet potatoes topped with black sesame…



The actual name of the dish is 大学芋 (daigakuimo, lit. "university potatoes") because, according to Wikipedia, "it was eaten by university students in the Kanda neighborhood (student district) of Tokyo. There is also a theory that the name was derived from the fact that students of Imperial University made and sold this in order to generate tuition fees in the early Showa era."

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A4%A7%E5%AD%A6%E8%8A%8B

Cheap eats for poor students, Japanese style. Seems appropriate in the current situation.

Those potatoes actually look really good.

I love potatoes! Affordable and versatile. Roast 'em, fry 'em, mash 'em, shred 'em... You can do so much with taters.

I'm ready for the periodic reminder that Aika is alive and doing well.

I miss her.

Lol.
