have you all heard of 猫ミーム (lit. cat meme)? it was a big meme video format on japanese youtube a few months back and they're very silly but i think they're genuinely good reading practice.
basically the meme is that they take these stock tiktok cat footage and turn it into a story about their day or something that happened to them. there's no talking but they put words across the screen to show what's going on. some are definitely more unhinged than others but it's a really cool look into daily life in japan that's told in a funny way imo.
here's a screenshot of one of the videos for an idea of what it looks like:
aaaanyway here's some of my favorite ones:
【ADHD】大学中退した話 - the time I dropped midway through my college semester (ADHD)
修学旅行でインドに行った話 - the time I went to India for a school trip
Uber eats配達員を始めてみた話 - the time I tried starting work as an uber eats delivery person
深夜コンビニの闇 - the dark side of late night convenience stores
牛角で1人焼肉をした何気ない話 - the mundane story about when i did solo yakiniku at Gyuukaku (<- name of the restaurant)
honestly go check out that last person's whole channel they go eat at a bunch of different places and do 猫ミーム videos of it and it's cool seeing the food

I was prepared for any pain and nail pealing struggle as I traversed the Horific Plains...
But what I failed to account for in my rigorous preparations...
Was for these Horific Plains...
To traverse over me...
