  • As all the goths weep, that NYX discontinued their liquid suade range of lipsticks I chatter on about the fact there's going to be a Like a Dragon: Yakuza live action series! I mean, as we have learned from the NYX situation, we should always be prepared for disappointment, but will be pleasently suprised if it's any good. I also chat about birthday treats, driving anxiety, the sneaky new anime drops, including some that are hitting our screens this summer!

  • It's the start of Gemini season and....I'm all alone?! there's no one here beside me...🎵 Well Drew's on their cruise and I'm trying to fill my time or I will be sad and cry, so I've been to the theatre, the cinema, seen my friends, listened to new music, read manga and watched Golden Kamuy on Netflix. There's a whole boat loads of stuff about upcoming anime and also things I might start watching on Crunchyroll. Oh yeah and I mispronounce "Nokotan" as "Nonotan" 🤦

  • Why is it that when I get the opportunity to speak in Japanese, I feel anxious? How can I overcome that language speaking anxiety? Did I jump in feet first to a conversation and hope for the best? was it the help of a shopkeeper? or maybe a bit of both? Well all is answered in episode 4 of Bilingual Bento. I also chat about the summer of anime and my top picks for the season and why I STILL haven't finished Shōgun.
