Antoha MC and KUKIKODAN.
The former, Antoha MC, is a Russian rapper who I like for his dark atmosphere and melodic accompaniment that complements his humming raps.
The latter, KUKIKODAN, is a Japanese band whose lyrics and music seem to reflect on the everyday passing of daily life.
As a Japanese native, the only foreign language I studied at school was basically English.
However, as part of my ancient Japanese language education, I studied classical Chinese literature written in Chinese characters, from which hiragana and other Japanese characters are derived, so ancient Chinese might also be included in the list of foreign languages I learned.
「マンガ肉」
This is what you would call "Manga Meat" in English, an iconic piece of meat on the bone that often appears in anime, manga, games, and other works in Japanese subculture.
I would love to bite into this hearty meat like the cartoon characters someday.
“Cardboard Cooler” with cooling function using frozen plastic bottles.
I thought it was ridiculous to make your own air conditioner out of cheap materials, but apparently it's actually quite cool.
However, the author of the article says that “the wind smells a little like metal.”
The article is in Japanese, but for details, please refer to the link below.

Yes. I am a feminist, though I am skeptical.
Some feminists argue(Article in Japanese) that the gender equality brought about by feminism also liberates men from the suffering unique to them.
I take a similar stance, believing that the 'gender equality' brought about by male feminism, which seeks happiness for men, also liberates women from the suffering unique to them. In some ways, I am a reactionary feminist.
Previously, I was a male feminist with old-fashioned thinking, striving to eliminate only women's suffering, not men's.
However, I changed my mind after the Japanese government, where I live, adopted a policy of allocating "female admission quotas" at prestigious universities, including national universities, as part of its affirmative action program, modeled on America's racial admission quotas.
Even back when I supported traditional feminism, I was critical of the current state of university education in Japan, where there are public women's universities but no public men's universities. I also believe that expanding these quotas to general universities would violate the Constitution, which proclaims gender equality. I cannot trust traditional Japanese feminism, which supports the unconstitutional status quo, and that is why I have become the skeptical feminist I mentioned earlier.
