#YayoiKusama, Japanese artist who became a global superstar, dies aged 97.
From the 1950s to the 2020s, Kusama produced vivid paintings, sculptures and vast installations that often drew on her experience of hallucinations.

I live near the Yayoi Kusama Museum, so I stopped by tonight to pay my respects to Kusama-san and thank her for her life of amazing creativity!
Kusama-san, arigatou!

#JLPT registration page has been down all day. Any advice, @Japanfoundation?
Would like to tag Japan Educational Exchanges and Services (#JEES), but they're not on here.

....have been trying to register for the #JLPT for two hours, but the site keeps crashing. McDonald's has electric toilets, but they can't figure out registration for a test that has been given such a priority for living here.

Sorry, but I find it hard to believe anyone who says they passed #JLPTN1 by "just reading manga, etc." The test seems to require an incredible amount of test-prep, drilling, etc

山田五郎 最後の授業:
Filmed just days before he passed away, Yamada Goro gave his final lecture around the theme of Memento Mori.
Sometimes difficult to watch, but also inspiring with his message of "Carpe Diem." Thank you Goro-san!

Nice tribute to Yamada Goro at end of most recent "Adomachikku Tengoku" (出没！アド街ック天国), the long-running Japanese variety show he had appeared on since 1998 - Pink Floyd's #WishYouWereHere was the perfect accompaniment!

A big thank you to the Ayatsuji Yukito (#綾辻行人) fan I met at Yaechika's Yaesu Book Center who introduced me to #七人の名探偵, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Ayatsuji's #十角館の殺人!
Hope you see this!

Shocked & very sorry to hear of the sudden passing of prolific Japanese mystery writer Higashino Keigo. He was a huge motivation for my Japanese studies, I was hooked since first reading his riveting The Devotion of Suspect X (容疑者Xの献身).

Down at the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau renewing my visa - the variety of nationalities & massive lines/wait times always remind me of opening scene of Casablanca.
"...and wait.... and wait...."

"Here the fortunate ones through money or influence or luck might obtain exit visas and scurry to Lisbon, and from Lisbon to the New World. But the others wait in Casablanca, and wait...and wait...and wait."
