I'm honestly pleasantly surprised she charted in the top 10 at all, good for her.

A lawyer / mountain climber who calls himself an "adventurer" named Fukunaga Katsuya 福永活也 (44) announced he has married Former S/mileage Nakanishi Kana (27). He also ran for House of Representatives in April, and in July ran for Governor in the Tokyo election last year in the wacky political party called "Party to Protect the People from NHK" (AKA people who wanted to get rid of NHK channel license fees). On twitter, he said he met Nakanishi's family and told the parents they were getting married.

He posts kooky opinions about people in politics. This guy also has way too many hobbies according to his profile.

He posted two shots on his Instagram Stories. He also went to Rome with Nakanishi.

Kishimoto Yumeno has released a new single named "Delete." No music video yet that I can see.



Has a chill vibe.

Nakky is back to releasing videos after a one-week break

Spoiler: show

She tells us a bit about the meeting people on the hiking trail. There was a friendly (Aussie I think) couple that she met who were travelling all around. She offered to help them on their journey with her car but they said they were okay.

She has been thinking about what she should do with the rest of her time in NZ - study more, travel more, or just go back to Japan sooner. She's decided to travel more, because she can always study English but she's in NZ right now. I really liked the wildlife bits that she's added to her VLOGs.

Someone she met recently on the Heaphy trail has been her texting partner of late. No details about... him(?) They had recently been to Japan, so conversation was natural.

She's feeling a bit forgetful lately, losing things, so she has to try to be careful.

She's excited about how C-ute's entire discography has been released onto streaming of late. She notes how even the obscure tracks such as solo versions have been added. Listening to some of the old tracks is making her nostalgic. The way their young voices change to more adult versions is noticeable.

Personally, I don't like streaming, though I try to see the bright side.

Maybe this thread is a better place for discussion though: viewtopic.php?p=285643#p285643

She has been remarking in recent videos how in NZ people play a lot of card games and get really into it. It's like diving, she says, you talk about the experience afterwards.

That's cool about Chiichan's business venture
Theses photos crystallized in my head who she was reminding me of: KonMari, aka Marie Kondo.
