    My go-to for this is the Niigata Nippo: https://www.niigata-nippo.co.jp/ It is in Japanese, though, but I find I can muddle my way through or use Google Translate for parts. I'm not aware of any English-language sources for Niigata Prefecture news, but I wonder if that comes down to demand, as we're not one of the higher international resident prefectures.

    @genkidesu I discovered that the Niigata Nippo is one of the 47 News group. Chiba Nippo is one in the group, too, but to read a whole article, you have to subscribe. Today, I'm getting an error message for Chiba outlet. I wonder if it's simply down or gone... NHK's website has a tab, 地域発 chiiki hatsu meaning originitating in the region and it lists news from all prefectures. I guess that's where I'm getting my info for now.

Quality Japan content Tiktok?

I have succumbed to Tiktok...Forgive me. When I first started engaging with Tiktok Lite, a lot of Japanese content was pushed to me by the algorythm. Some good, some junk. My favorite right now is こねこフィルム/ CONECO FILM, a producer of shorts that are absurd, funny, and touching. Have you found some excpeptional Japanese content on Tiktok? Especially content that provides you with Japanese listening comprehension, cultural insights, or off-the-beaten-path travel destinations?

Best places for One Piece merch/things to do?

My son has recently become very interested in all things One Piece, and I was wondering if any of you know some fun places to check out for merchandise or One Piece events/activities. I know there used to be the thing at Tokyo Tower, but that has since closed. Any tips would be appreciated!

What are you doing without?

Ever heard of the saying "Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without"? I feel like it's ever-appropriate these days. Are there things that you're trying (or having) to do without, given the cost of living increases? I haven't bought new clothes in quite a while, and I feel like when we first moved here that was something I often did, almost like a hobby. These days I might not be the trendiest, but I use the clothes I have, and I guess I'm more comfortable in my style.
