Spring In Japan By Satoshi

海老も一人では美味しくない

Even sea bream is not delicious when eaten in loneliness.

This proverb is especially true when I am with Pochi. Tonight we ate together at a restaurant; it was rather enjoyable.

Mr. Japan, hello, please tell me about Sukeban. Have you seen them, have you encountered any of them in person? Did they attack you, or did you witness their robberies and fights?

What is your opinion of their actions?

Ah yes, スケバン/助番.

I remember first seeing them in the 1970s even though they first came around in the 1960s I believe.

They are honestly very distinctive due to their long skirts; I’ve never been robbed by them however I’ve witnessed three of them shoplifting at the Itoya Stationery store in Ginza.

They became so high in number that I had to discuss with the policemen of my country on how to identify them. Some 番長 didn’t accept the sukeban into their groups and that’s what kickstarted a lot of sukeban action however in my opinion in recent times I’ve seen more sukeban than banchō.

Greetings. I decided to make a Discord server where all personifications can enjoy each other’s company. It is still under construction with more coming soon however I hope to see you all there.

~ Sincerely, Japan.

(OOC: Hi!! This server will kind of be like the roleplay blogs except you get to interact with each other roleplaying as your claimed character! ☺️)

Uh… perhaps the available Bat one please? 😅

Robin is nowhere in sight. He must be...preoccupied. Maybe he fell asleep in a giant bird nest somewhere.

Are there any other sidekicks available right now? Maybe...Batgirl.

Or another Robin. There are several Robin positions open.

He's so cute!

Thank you. I told Tama-kun you complimented him and he said “mEIROWKWKR HE WAIEJSNEBEHIAWK” in response…

I don’t think that was Tama.

Even my mom didn't give me that kind of advice 🙏

I'm sorry, who's "Tama"?

-meow anon

Apologies, Tama is my beloved feline companion.

He is rather petite however he is a voracious eater when it comes to tuna… and salmon… and all kinds of cat friendly fish.

You said you were interested in animation....are you familiar with the 12 principles of animation? And what's your favorite part of creating a complete animation? Storyboarding? The coloring?(⁠つ⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)⁠つ ehehehi

*Squeaks merrily because I finally found someone who also loves this topic*

Hello, Anon.

I am quite familiar with the 12 principles of animation. My personal favorite part of creating a complete animation is overlapping the action as well as squash and sketching. I enjoy the visual appeal of fluid exaggerated motions in my work.

Thank you very much for the ask. It is greatly appreciated especially from a fellow enjoyer of animation.

Hi hun, do you take snail bribes? I was trying to teach a child bravery by hiding his rabbit in Russia's house, and now I am concerned that his guardian Tabasco, or Taurus or Virgo (or what ever the stomach ulcer fairy's name is) might be struggling to take care of the funky little guy. Something to do with bad school behavior? You look like an honest and sincere guy, all built of mochi and anime (my sort of dude I'll tell ya!) so I feel you will tell me the truth. Tell me, what can you tell me of this Ivan guy or this Toblerone guy? Are they good dads? Do they even take dear Raivis to the monthly snail parades? Where the snails don their tiny hats? Help a snesbian out (quick before my snail wife comes back from the snail parades, I am not allowed on the ipad anymore!) Sincerely, 🐌

Hello, Miss… Snesbian..? I am very honored that you have reached out to me and I hope all is well with you and your snail wife. As for Mr. Russia and Mr. Toblerone (I am uncertain as to who this is; my apologies), I do not hold a lot of information regarding them.

As for snail parades, I believe most nations such as myself hold them in our stomachs yearly so perhaps they do so as well. I call it サザエ.

Bro, how are you? Stop sleeping

Apologies. I tend to fall back into my old hikikomori habits.

I am doing well, thank you for asking. How are you feeling if I may ask, anon-san?
