Something that’s admittedly hard to define, and yet along with the obvious element of nostalgia, they also seem to posses a kind of quiet dignity.

@hutaffe You will! We all will, I hope. I do love this one a lot. A lot of the others seem to try to feature “The best of Japan”, and “Japan Top 10”, and this one really makes me feel we’re there, going into side streets and looking inside little businesses.

@maique yes, and that’s the actually interesting part. All those tiny backstreets… there’s so much going on! I was lucky once to go into one of those small bars no tourist ever goes to. The loveliest people in there… the real life.

@hutaffe @maique I agree with both of you about the content. Stories about the small details that make the country, not the bright lights. I binged a number of posts after subscribing to the feed.
