Game of choice

Round of rapidfire late-night thoughts based entirely in my own gaming experience of a european, and things i've gotten through osmosis.

What kind of games they play with Yagami, Kaito, Sugiura, Higashi, Tsukumo, Mafuyu, Saori, Hoshino, Kuwana

Yagami needs his mental stimulation, with how many cases of his end up being a literal wild goose chase. He would totally be into Layton games and maybe even Ace Attorney if we feel a little on the nose. Eventually falls victim to the Spike Chunsoft pipeline from Danganronpa, through AI: Somnium Files, to Zero Escape series. 999 is now his favourite.

Kaito only cares about multiplayer shooting games with his buds. Rainbow Six Siege, Battlefield, PUGB you name it - he probably tried it. Aside from CS:GO, he was banned from ever trying CS:GO by Sugiura. Got roped into Fortnite along the way and although he clearly enjoys it, he keeps complaining it's clearly for kids.

Sugiura plays pretty much anything popular - Minecraft, Fortnite, GTA, Valorant - usually just to kill time. He doesn't care all that much about having "experiences that will change the trajectory of his life forever", as Tsukumo puts it. What only a handful of people know, however, is that he is absolutely INSANE about Mirror's Edge. Go figure.

Higashi will let his history nerd run wild and will put his hands on anything samurai period drama adjacent. He's been through things such as Ghost of Tsushima, Ishin and will brave the toughest of challenges in Sekiro and Nioh for his dose of the good shit. Recently he's been even caught trying out Katana Zero and despite not being his usual kind of setting, he ends up loving it.

Tsukumo is a League of Legends youth survivor and years clean of the cancer that enveloped him. These days he's neck deep into jrpgs and visual novels of all kinds. Most notably, he is THE Xenoblade Chronicles fan and has played literally every entry in and adjacent to the Megami Tensei series. Refuses to talk about Persona though, absolute SMT truther.

Mafuyu is the absolute casual girly player, with hundreds of thousands of hours in between things like Fashion Dreamer, every Sims generation and a touch of Splatoon when nobody's watching. Was there back when Flash games were a thing, where she would spend all evenings on the dress-ups and Devillish Hairdresser. Probably played Stardoll or something.

Saori finds herself lured into the strange appeal of Cultist Simulator, which somehow escalated into her being insane about Lobotomy Company and Library of Ruina. I don't know either. Suffice to say, she enjoys card and management games, with a bit of weird fucking lore on the side. At times she emerges from her solo player cave to kick people's asses in Dead By Daylight - she can WRECK with any killer.

Hoshino was there for the Giant Dad phase and has, ever since, remained one of the greatest, most viscious Dark Souls PVPers. Bro used to have absolutely no mercy with his neigh beast skill in the game and if you squint, he might've won a DS speedrun competition once or twice. These days he only logs in to help in multi (think along the lines of Let Me Solo Her) and will not shut up about Disco Elysium.

Kuwana is yet to recover from Hotline Miami brainworms even though it has been literal years. He has tried his hand at similar recommendations like Superhot, Ruiner or Ultrakill but nothing has ever stuck quite the same way. Ends up replaying the games every year like a religious ritual. Might end up getting into Katana Zero, but ends up so pissed with the ending he vows never to give chances again.

Faceless

Movies watched in 2025

Faceless (2024, Japan)

Director: Michihito Fujii

Writers: Kazuhisa Kodera & Michihito Fujii (based on the novel by Tamehito Somei)

Mini-review:

I'm always up for a new Michihito Fujii film, and this one has a pretty stacked cast, so I knew I had to watch it. I can't say it's my favorite work of his, but it was still enjoyable. While I wish it had delved deeper into the social issues it tries to portray, the main character is interesting enough, mostly thanks to Ryusei Yokohama's strong performance. As for the rest of the characters, they probably would've been better off in a miniseries or something like that, even if the cast tries its best. Faceless won't be making my favorite movies list, but it's still a solidly made and entertaining crime thriller.

HUgE October 2013

Sand.W.Man work boots

A much-anticipated collaboration project will be launched in the fall/winter of 2013. Miyashita Takahiro of TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist. and Fujii Takayuki of nonnative have partnered up to create a new label called Sand.W.Man. Both men experienced the fashion scene from the late 80s to the 90s first-hand, and have made it the basis of their own creations. They say they started the label because they felt a strong connection with the culture of that time. The key words are sand and beige, and they will develop creations that twist their respective tastes and tastes to reconstruct 90s culture in a modern way. The first in the series is a sophisticated collection of high-cut and Pecos-style boots by Retepp, commissioned to a French shoe factory.

These two models are reminiscent of the heyday of the brand. Particular attention was paid to the appearance of the leather. The upper is made of cow suede from France, and the welt is painted with rosin to increase water resistance. After the shoes are completed, they are soaked in oil and stored in a warehouse for a year. This allows the oil from the upper to penetrate the suede, causing the rosin to turn yellow, creating a rich and tasteful texture as if the shoes have been worn for many years. Of course, the excellent comfort of the shoes, which are made using the sturdy Norwegian method, cannot be overlooked. (Sand.W.Man.) is made by two of the leading figures in the Japanese fashion scene. They will continue to produce items on an irregular basis. This special boot with a unique appeal will be released on September 14th.

through exciting collaborations

Nonnative SS21 Lookbook

The Japanese label´s latest collection aptly named “South”, draws inspiration from New Zealand’s earthy tones, while materializing the sophisticated simplicity we’ve come to expect from it. In a time when the abundance of oversized logos seems to be the norm, it’s refreshing to see contemporary labels going back to the core values of timeless style. 

Creative director Takayuki Fujii has created a consistent aesthetic for Nonnative which blends military references, with Japanese design elements and heavy focus on fabrics and construction. The latter are a highlight of this season’s collection which includes GORE-TEX Infinium, Pliantex and memory polyester, among others. Loving the monochromatic looks and styling on these outstanding pieces.

After Mio (May) has discovered that her older adopted brother, Yusaku, is Playmaker, she meets Ai for the first time and she feels him a bit and tells him that he is squishy and plushie, so Mio decided to call Ai "Plush-chan". Ai tells Mio to not call him that and to call him by his given name, Ai. Mio believes that Ai is a girl's name, which made Takayuki (Ethan) laugh a little, even though he is trying not to. Junko (Juno) gets confused that Ai accepts his name because a few weeks ago, Ai keeps complaining that he hates the name. Ai tells Junko that he is getting used to it, even though it's a girl's name. Then Junko tells Ai that he is a weird A.I.

Note: This is just for my version of VRAINS.
