5'8 is definitely tall for Japanese women, 5'10 is monstrous.

also Saki featured in Yakuza Kiwami as one of the hostesses, so certain parts of the west may already be familiar with her.

Judgement, they released a sequel on playstation last year but the sticking point was rights fees over a port to Steam and the lead character actor's agency might nix the whole deal

unless this has happened to them before which is entirely possible

For context, the actor is Kimura Takuya who is still with Johnny’s Entertainment, which is the Japanese boy band factory. They would also until recently not allow photos to be used or put online of their artists. They’re about as traditional as traditional Japanese media firms can get.

Asahi done hosed up this time, but it’s symptomatic of bigger problems at the big firms. They’re missing a trick by not having the official English Twitter account for NJPW doing the same.

wasted talent sucks but doesn't upset me

just rather see him used elsewhere

He went on the shelf just over a year ago with a bad injury, right? Maybe…it’s still recovering? I would hope they find a place for him to get back into action in AEW - and Penelope Ford has been conspicuously absent for a bit too, so it’s possible they’re cooling them off for rest/re-introduction.

It also makes me wonder where the gently caress Miro is, because he’s still in the Dynamite/Rampage opens.

This is also being discussed in the main NJPW thread, too. Probably better to go check in there. But pointing out one thing


George W. Bushi pointed out the second quote (the “cheater’s-gun” one) is some kind of aping of a Japanese YouTuber, so. References being made.

That said, I hadn’t thought of the un-vaccinated angle (partially because Japan’s at about 80% with two shots). Hmm.

just going back to this because it randomly popped into my head but Ibushi is definitely vaccinated because when he got aspirating pneumonia it was originally diagnosed as vaccine side effects

I had completely forgotten that as well, that is an excellent point.
