my favourite users of ‘engrich’ are probably sixties-themed Johnny’s group ‘THE GOOD-BYE’, whose song titles were full of cross-language puns like ‘YOU惑MAY惑’ (yuuwaku/meiwaku, ‘temptation/nuisance’) and ‘とLOVEるジェネレーション’ (ie ‘toRABUru generation’, i.e. ‘trouble generation’). One of their albums was called ‘GOOD VIBRATIONS’: just thinking about this fact makes me really happy.

Saw a (Japanese run) Mexican place called Taberuna! (in hiragana) – Taverna in Spanish or “don’t eat!” in Japanese (which all of the regulars here know but these comments are not exactly always guest friendly).

I’ve always like the chain of bars in Kobe called “In Shock Ten”

I meant to do a whole post on the Katakana Eigo verbs like ダブる,　パロる etc. But yeah, they’re pretty fun.

Because the education system in Japan is evidently based on light, crispy wafers within a sweet chocolate coating.
