Is that a parody? I think I need someone to explain it to me.

So "KISSxxxx" was a manga and Yu~ki was a fan, huh?
And apparently it had a tie-in with rock bands at the time: https://vk.gy/releases/omnibus/23745/kissxxxx/

Never heard of it, personally.

Yes, I'm pretty sure he said it was his faorite manga at some point, or something akin to that.
I read a couple volumes since it was mentioned in the GLUB or wtvr but it wasn't really my thing.

It's apparently not a parody even though they're going to town on the "X will split apart and divide Y" iconography.

I want one that actually loops all the way around like Escher's self-drawing hands.

It is indeed Gothic & Lolita Bible with an extra "U" to make it sound dum.
Because being serious about anything, ever (except cats), is highly overrated.

So after years of procrastinating, I decided to go job hunting and found out I'm much underpaid, highly qualified, and in demand just about everywhere except Japan.

If only someone's company wasn't in New York and paying peanuts by their own admission.

Here's something interesting -- something about Atsushi's (of PRIDE OF MIND) old band . Check it out (run it through DeepL or something if you can't understand Japanese because Google absolutely butchered this translation)

I do wonder which one of the people on the picture is Atsushi . I can't tell ...

Oh wow, look at that Hanachan. Even Atsushi Fukuyama likes Soft Ballet.
It's almost like they're a really good band or something.


Also, has anyone ever done HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)?
I'm sick of running around in the forest like a sweaty yuckbeast when I can sit around and do nothing like a static yuckbeast.
So if HIIT has good results without massive muscle growth I'll probably try it.

I'm guessing the one on the bottom. (EDIT: wait no, the poster says that was someone else)
But forget that, which one is Klaha? ::meev:: Supposedly the two of them were in some band together prior to forming Pride of mind. You don't suppose...? :lol:

EDIT2: Nah, looks like none of them are him if that band had 2 guitars, a bassist, a vocalist, and a drummer.

I haven't tried it personally but I have heard of people getting good results with it.
Why work hard when you can work smart. Also, you're not going to experience any muscle growth from cardiovascular exercise.

I know a lot of people who do it and they swear by it. No muscle growth, I've only ever seem them slim down/become more defined.

Counterpoint: my impression is that if you actually do HIIT intensely enough to see any results, it's even more hellish than ordinary training.

OK, I think Imma go for it then. Excersize is awful anyway, so why not make it shorter.
I asked because I can pretty much put on muscle simply by carrying the weight of my own existence, so I'm always careful to not do anything that could end in bodybuilder shoulders.
Thanks all :D

I wrote up the info on my site and gave you a coveted hat-tip ::gaku::

How do people find this stuff on social media anyway, are they just following a lot of Japanese old men?
