Would you mind if I asked for the recipe for your famous lavender cake?

Hi :D

Still not sure how you found out about the lavender cake (probably my tags on something) but I shall answer your ask - fair warning though, I'm too lazy to convert much of the measurements into Imperial, so much of it will be metric. Convert at your own risk ;)

The Cake TM:

6 eggs 1 teaspoon of lemon extract (+ the zest of one lemon) 220g sugar 280g flour (all-purpose) 2 teaspoons of baking soda A sprinkle of salt

Split the eggs and beat them until they are firm (don't overbeat) and then slowly pour the sugar into the mixture to make a meringue (which you cannot overbeat thank god).

Once this is done slowly pour one egg yolk at a time into the mixture - then shift the flour, baking soda, and lemon zest into the mixture and gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until they are combined - but only just.

You don't want to overmix.

Really.

Line the bottom of a 9 or 10 inch baking pan with baking sheets, but DON'T butter the sides. Bake at 175-180 °C (375F) for about 45 minutes or until it survives the poke test. Let cool slightly and cut in as many layers as you like. (i usually do three layers)

The Buttercream:

500ml whole milk 1 pinch vanilla extract 2 bags of vanilla custard powder 100g caster sugar 1 egg yolk 500g softened butter 10 drops lavender extract a few branches fresh lavender (optional)

Heat 450ml of the milk in a pan, mixed with the vanilla and lavender extract. In a seperate bowl mix the custard powder with the rest of the milk, the egg yolk and the sugar until well combined.

Once the milk comes to a boil, quickly mix in the custard/egg mixture. Mix well. Let it simmer for about a minute, but don't stop mixing for even a second. Take it off the heat.

Put the finished pudding into a deep bowl, cover with clingfilm, and let cool.

(optional) Wash and dry the fresh lavender before chopping it finely and mixing it into the butter.

IMPORTANT butter and custard/pudding need to be the same temperature for this next bit. Once the pudding has cooled to room temperature, slowly whisk pieces of butter into the mix until everything is well combined.

Try the creme to see if you like the amount of lavender - if not, add more lavender extract.

The Ganash:

200g white chocolate 80ml heavy cream 1 tbsp butter a few drops lavender extract

chop white chocolate until its small and even.

bring butter/heavy cream mix to a simmer and add lavender extract - DO NOT BOIL

once the heavy cream is hot enough, gently pour it over the chopped white chocolate.

Wait a minute and start mixing - don't stop until its smooth and uniform.

set aside

Other:

lemon curd / good lemon jam simple syrup

Assembly:

place bottom layer of cake on a plate, add one or two tablespoons of simple syrup onto the cake before spooning a third of the jam/curd onto the cake. Spread evenly. Now add a third of the buttercream - spread evenly.

Repeat with the second layer.

Add the top layer of the cake and crumb-coat the cake with the rest of the buttercream. Put it in the freezer for 30mins to chill.

Prepare the ganash - if it's too solid, gently warm it back up my placing it in a microwave in 10 sec increments.

Place the cake on a cake rack and slowly pour the ganash over the cake, starting in the middle and only slowly working your way to the edges.

Decorate and enjoy!

About that vampire bat that ate Quincey's horse...

First, so we're clear, actual vampire bats are pretty tiny. They only drink about about two tablespoons/30ml of blood in a single feeding. (For comparison, when you give blood the goal is to get about 500ml out of you.) And they don't suck blood so much as lick it up after delivering a bite with an anticoagulant in their saliva. It wouldn't be much more than an annoyance, like a larger mosquito bite, except for the fact that they often carry rabies, a disease with a functionally 100% fatality rate once symptoms appear.

But, as luck would have it, I think I can explain Quincey's story about his horse getting eaten by No Vampire Bat I've Ever Heard Of: Like many things, the story of vampire bats grew in the telling and the farther away the tale got from their homeland. I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Stoker thought Quincey's account of a gigantic vampire bat was based in reality, because of the kinds of sources he might've had access to in the English world about the animals.

I'm reading a book about the cultural history of rabies right now (Rabid: A Cultural History of the World's Most Diabolical Virus by Bill Wasik and Monica Murphy), and at one point they quote from a 1796 account from J.G. Stedman of his encounter with one while travelling in Suriname. This account is... almost definitely exaggerated and very definitely incorrect about how vampire bats work! But I've included the excerpt below, and you can tell me if any of this sounds familiar. (Content warning for blood, vomit, and tall tales; paragraph breaks added for readability.)

On waking about four o'clock this morning in my hammock, I was extremely alarmed at finding myself weltering in congealed blood, and without feeling any pain whatever... I had been bitten by the vampire, or spectre, of Guana, which is also called the flying dog of New Spain, and, by the Spaniards, perrovolador. This is no other than a bat of a monstrous size, that sucks the blood from men and cattle when they are fast asleep, even, sometimes, until they die; and as the manner in which they proceed is truly wonderful, I shall endeavor to give a distinct account of it. Knowing by instinct that the person they intend to attack is in a sound slumber, they generally alight near the feet; where, while the creature continues fanning its enormous wings, which keeps one cool, he bites a piece out of the tip of the great toe, so very small, indeed, that the head of a pin could scarcely be received into the wound, which is, consequently, not painful; yet through this orifice he continues to suck the blood, until he is obliged to disgorge. He then begins again, and thus continues sucking and disgorging till he is scarcely able to fly, and the sufferer has often been known to sleep from time into eternity... Having applied tobacco-ashes as the best remedy, and washed the gore from myself and from my hammock, I observed several small heaps of congealed blood, all around the place where I had lain, upon the ground; upon examining which, the surgeon judged that I might have lost at least twelve or fourteen ounces during the night.

Water Wars

It's no secret that training artificial intelligence algorithms requires insane amounts of energy — but, as a new paper reveals, it also uses up an absurd amount of water, too.

Researchers from the University of California Riverside and the University of Texas Arlington have shared a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper titled "Making AI Less Thirsty" that looks into the environmental impact of AI training, which not only needs copious of electricity but also tons of water to cool the data centers.

When looking into how much water is needed to cool the data processing centers employed by companies like OpenAI and Google, the researchers found that just in training GPT-3 alone, Microsoft, which is partnered with OpenAI, consumed a whopping 185,000 gallons of water — which is, per their calculations, equivalent to the amount of water needed to cool a nuclear reactor.

As the paper notes, the water Microsoft used to cool its US-based data centers while training GPT-3 was enough to produce "370 BMW cars or 320 Tesla electric vehicles." If they'd trained the model in the company's data centers in Asia, which are even larger, "these numbers would have been tripled."

Bottle It Up

What's more: "ChatGPT needs to 'drink' [the equivalent of] a 500 ml bottle of water for a simple conversation of roughly 20-50 questions and answers," the paper notes. "While a 500ml bottle of water might not seem too much, the total combined water footprint for inference is still extremely large, considering ChatGPT’s billions of users."

When it comes to suggestions for what to do about this glaring issue in the face of repeated warnings of water shortages, the researchers don't have all that much in the way of advice.

At the very least, companies like Google and OpenAI "can, and also should, take social responsibility and lead by example by addressing their own water footprint," the researchers write — a first step in quenching AI's unslakable "thirst."

this blue thing is so much better than blue powerade and its 0.75L for only 2€ while powerade is 2.20€ for 500ml ans it has niacin and b6 why the fuck was I even bothering with powerade

It's here it's here it's here!!

Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 500ml bottle from Palestinian Nabali Olives via Equal Exchange

prolonged pretentious food blog-esque review under the cut:

I once read in a book or a magazine or somewhere that of all the grocery items you should splurge on, a good olive oil is an investment. It will last a while even in a busy kitchen, and its flavor will transform those veggies and bread you got on sale.

But the Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil sold on Equal Exchange is actually a reasonable price. $85 for 6 bottles breaks down to just over $14 a bottle. With inflation especially, I'm used to spending $16+ for olive oil in slightly bigger bottles (750ml vs 500ml) from companies like California Olive Ranch.

The product is made of Nabali olives indigenous to Palestine, and its liqueur on a white plate is a pale gold hue reminiscent of honey. I'm used to more, well, "olive" green oils. Even with my sinuses acting up right now, I detect a familiar aroma upon cracking the bottle.

Here's the thing: I could eat olive oil with plain, crusty bread for hours. I'm weird about olive oil. It tastes like salt without salt added. Maybe it's because I actually did have to do that a lot of the time as a kid. Wheat reaches its peak in the oven, olives reach their peak in the press. Then they marry on your palate.

I often find myself chasing the particular taste of a particular olive oil i enjoyed growing up. In the supermarket, oils are labeled "mild" "smooth" "robust", but not only can I not translate those into a taste, the mouth-memory I have of that oil isn't able to be categorized by words. Maybe I remember it more like the hopping line on an EKG's slippery paper or a polygraph test.

When you smell olive oil, it's saying hello, and you're introduced to the first jump on the chart by being reminded of honeysuckle or salty butter or even black tea, or thousands of other things (it will come from your own memories, after all). The Equal Exchange Extra Virgin Olive Oil's aroma did remind me of tea, but also avocado, but the kind you might find in a boba tea. Rich and subtly sweet.

I had warmed up some canned chicken soup and splashed the oil on top, and it added richness, mingling well with the sharp cheddar cheese I also crumbled on top. I only had brown bread and a single English muffin in the house, and they had to be toasted, but the oil soaked somewhat into the dense multigrain bread. It may be thinner than olive oils I'm used to.

My multigrain bread and soup were great, but to really test the oil, I did toast my single English muffin with its tomorrow expiration date and threw its weird cardboard bed into the recycling. I poured the oil onto the plate and dipped.

On its own, it's peppery. It tastes so similar to that flavor I remember, and then its EKG dips and hops again with a spark of bitter lemon rind and finishes creamy. It's such a unique oil.

Per Canaan Palestine, another place you can buy the country's homegrown oil, the Nabali olive's name "refers to the ancient Canaanite city of Napoli known today as the thriving Palestinian city of Nablus. This variety is the mother of the Arbequina olive variety well known in Spain and Italy." What history does this tiny fruit hold? Doubtless Biblical figures, apocryphal or real, held it in their hands, heard the wind rustling the leaves in its trees.

But olive trees are not safe in Palestine. Not one being, from birth to elderly, is safe in Palestine. It's sobering to buy products, like my green and yellow (olive colors!) kufiya with its olive-leaf shaped embroidery, or these magnificent oils, when I'm not sure the artisans or farmers or anyone they love will live another five minutes, let alone a day. The oils arrived at my house in record time after I purchased them, but the people of Palestine are killed trying to find food for their families, or return with food to find said families as martyrs.

I should have found this delicious oil under better circumstances. I should have been dreaming of going on a tour to different olive farms, the way I could in European countries where the relatives of this olive grow, just to sample and buy souvenirs. What friends would I make on a trip like that? What cats would I pet? I would be a tourist, tasting of the culture the way I taste this oil. Commerce is not activism when the stakes are this impossibly high.

I am fortunate to have bread in my house and a family un-martyred, living in a country that currently bankrolls the annihilation of an entire people as well as their history, culture, and progress. I can't out-spend the United States on weaponry by well-intentioned patronage. I can only be a physical body to throw against the machine of premeditated genocide at every opportunity I have, and lift up the voices of those experiencing this nightmare.

I have already given one bottle to my housemate, and one will go to another when he gets home, and once I run out of relatives I still speak to, I might go downstairs to the neighbors to give them some. At which point I will probably still have another bottle to offer, and although my friends would be a good bet, I think a better idea would be crossing the street, taking an opportunity to meet people I haven't spoken to, and offering them a chance to taste a country their televisions and newspapers only tell lies about.

Nakada Hiroki Channel Nakacha no Ma #47 2023.10.31 Notes [Eng translation]

≫ Intro:

For some reason, he's got the stream set to start at 08:10PM and not the usual 08:00PM (he doesn't know why)

It's Halloween! 🎃👻🦇

He hasn't seen alot of ppl out and about, but then again the evening has only just begun

He thinks it's probably best to relax at home on Halloween

Apparently Shinjuku Halloween is worse than Shibuya Halloween (either way they're both hell)

He went once before the pandemic for work-related reasons and it was hell on earth, the traffic regulations were really bad (was it during that time he wore the giraffe headpiece? Unsure if it was work-related tho)

He thinks as long as people have fun and are careful, it's all fine

He will not be leaving his house at all tonight lmao

He's got a stuffy nose (as always)

Someone in the chat offers him 4000¥ to show his face already

He tells us it's gonna be a no-face livestream this time

We're bidding now so someone offers 14 000¥ lol

Apparently he didn't get the 4000¥ from the Osaka bday event (?!) wtf Beethoven

He's wearing black bunny ears!

He was looking for horns but he got them mixed up with the bunny ears. He looks cute either way! And it suits since he's the year of the rabbit

He was so embarrassed to get it because there was a high school girl next to him buying the same thing 😭 He was questioning his sanity since he already looked like a suspicious person lmao

This month's beer: Premium Malt's Limited Design 500ml 🍺

He's having blue cheese with honey again 🧀🍯

He doesn't know where he bought the handcuffs for his bday event (probably mail older? they were pretty heavy)

After he had finished his bento, he went back to his hotel for a moment, then rode the ferris wheel, then got back to the event just in time for the evening part (he's so マイペース) 🎡

He didn't buy any souvenirs in Osaka

He wants to cut today's free part of the stream short since he'll be doing a gaming stream afterwards

It's been so long, he barely even remembers how to log in on his gaming PC

He said he was gonna play Only Down next but when he had logged into Steam, he had to put all of his information into his account again (not just card information but address etc)

He doesn't remember his card number, just the security code 😂

He says it's no good to engage in fraud/scamming (no one mentioned it in the chat so idk where he got that from??)

Oh ok he's been seeing it around on Twitter apparently

He doesn't smoke or gamble (glad we got that out of the way lol) ( ´Д｀)yー~~

Someone in the chat asks what he thinks of a girl who smokes and he says he doesn't approve nor disapproves of it

Its each to their own, much like with him and his drinking

It's better not to smoke but he doesn't think it's a good idea to take cigarettes away from the ppl who do smoke. As long as it's in moderation, doesn't cause trouble for others and we're considerate, he thinks it's fine 🚬

Whether it's about ordinary cigarettes or e-cigarettes, he doesn't know the circumstances of the situation, but he think each person has their own reasons for it

"'What about a woman who drink 24 h/day?' Sleep. Go to bed. What are you fighting that's got you drinking for 24 hours? w"

"From my own experience, I don't think I could have done that even when I was young.. No wait, I did. I think I did" (Sendai flashbacks lmao)

≫ Furuba:

Again, Furuba probably had the shortest rehearsals he's ever had in his entire acting career so far

There were some scenes that were cut apparently

He wishes he could talk about them but he's not gonna get into it since he doesn't want to stream too late into the night on a weekday

… he says, but still talks about it lol

It seems he drew the short straw among whose character's scene to cut since they had to fit as much content as possible into that 3 hour run-time 😭

≫ Tensura:

It's been two and a half months so he doesn't remember it as much, he's been working on such different works and meeting so many different ppl since

Although it was the first time he and Miyashita Yuya co-starred, they got along the best

He really liked him and they had alot of drinks together

He thinks they had very similar personalities and ways of thinking, and that's why they got along so well - he clarifies that this is all one-sided though

I think he said seikaku (性格; personality) but someone in the chat wrote they thought he said seiyoku (性欲; sexual desires)???

"Wouldn't it be weird if we had the same sexual desires? I don't know about Yuya's sexual desires"

He's the type of senpai who he doesn't have to be so considerate of because they get along well even when they talk in an unofficial setting

The chat is gaslighting him into believing he actually said seiyoku

"How many times am I gonna say 'sexual desire'? This is gonna be in the archives so I gotta be careful. There's probably an army of people out there who are gonna take advantage of this" ww This man doesn't want to be caught in 4K 😂

His bunny ears keep being out of frame

It's been a long time since he saw Mahiro (he's doing Osomatsu on Stage rn)

Hiroki also wanted to be in Osomatsu but he was told it was impossible due to his age 😭

Su~su~su~su~sumairu~

Apparently the choreographer for the Tensura closing theme was the same one as the one in SekaNeko!

He thought it was gonna be difficult for Benimaru and Souei to fit the last dance part but it was alot of fun in the end

The make-up departments for Tensura/Suehiro/Furuba and their routines were all completely different; even if they all had the same base (his face), he thinks they were completely different

The wig and make-up artists all belong to the same team

He particularly liked the red tear drop for Benimaru's make-up 🩸 Maybe it should have been a bit more red though

The line was very fine and every day it looked a bit different

It was fun wearing hakama and wielding an ōdachi 🤗 He thinks having a sword is like having a friend ww

It wasn't difficult to wear the hakama - that is, if you learn the correct way to walk while wearing it

Benimaru's hakama is double layered after all and the haori (?) on top

The chat mentions how his sandals flew in one performance and the scabbard in another performance

It seems he ripped the hakama at two different occasions (as seen in senshūraku, but then also during the final battle scene with the Orc Disaster?)

He's grateful to Ogi Hana's performance 👏

omg apparently Hakurou's hair came off in one performance too?? He grabbed it mid-fight and let it hang off the sword as a charm

≫ Furuba:

Keeping the theme of mishaps, there was also the incident during Furuba where the juzu beads got scattered on stage (I'm assuming from Kyo's bracelet when Kazuma ripped it off in the beginning?)

Apparently they were torn two days in a row (thankfully no one tripped on them). Perhaps they acted as a substitute for protecting him 📿

Although Aya did trip backwards in the second to last performance (when he bumped into one of the ensemble members) 😭

There seems to have been a miss in communication because Hiroki didn't think he was gonna be there when he was

But he handled it like a gymnast doing a backflip

It was the first time he's ever bumped into someone so beautifully 😂

For a moment, everything went dark for him

"Black hole 👐"

He's back to saying he's gonna cut the stream - then proceeds not to cut the stream 🫠

He's thinking if he should play Duck Simulator for the gaming stream instead so he can keep talking rather than play

Someone in the chat says it's fine if he does a smartphone game instead but apparently he can't cut the mic if he's on smartphone and he doesn't want to in case he needs to burp lmao (what a gentleman)

So he can't even go to the bathroom if he's on his phone

(Sidenote but it looks like he's checking notes in front of him 🥺 he's so good for taking notes in preparation for the monthly livestream)

≫ Suehirogari:

Hiroki's mum's oshi is Hyuuga!! He doesn't remember if she said it specifically but he thinks she said something about a small girly looking boy with a bob haircut (it wasn't Matsui lol) It revealed a side of his mum even he himself didn't know about 🤭

He's on good terms with Nagata Kouhei, they go have food sometimes

Hiroki mama sent him an update on LINE the other day when Kishou Hongi was on TV!

"No one came to the birthday event after watching that, right? Then you wouldn't have slept"

He's surprised with the amount of Chaba in the chat who watched it at the time - he wants us to go to bed

Then again, he gets that it makes you excited when its shown on TV, it's the 8th anniversary after all

It was shown on Nittele Plus which he's been broadcasted on before back in the day (Ikemen bijo to sugosu yoru in 2014? He was so baby in that one.. Then again, Resistance Eleven was also broadcasted on CS Nittele)

≫ Goods update, poor time management etc:

He's got honey dripped on his fingers so now he's all sticky 🍯 He sniff

Happy Birthday to everyone born in October 🎉

He's had quite a few people at events telling him that they share the same birth month

He's happy to be with everyone in October so there's no doubt that it's gonna be a wonderful year

Then there's alot of fun events coming up in November and December 🤫

"'That's adequate www' That's the type of channel this is"

He thinks it's good to do things leisurely instead of just showing the good parts like many other channels, so even though some ppl might not like it, this is the kind of channel he wants to have

"There's no point in showing just the good parts. I'm open to showing both the good and bad parts. If you'd ask me, I think channels that only show the good parts are boring"

He's more attracted/trustful of ppl who are more likely to say things that other ppl wouldn't

Ah, photobook - necklace - meerkat (iykyk)

Glico is not part of his branding lol

He feels like he's a fraud for just coming up with repeated excuses; i) the photobook has been postponed, ii) he's sad to report that the meerkat probably won't be made into merchandise, and iii) the timing hasn't been right for the necklace and he doesn't want to make it unless it's in December or March (Christmas or White Day)

He's very particular about it 🥺 That's why it's been two years in the making

There were lots of different reasons for him to quit his former agency but he tried to make these happen back then already

He's not trying to badmouth his former agency, it's just that when an environment changes, you have to start from scratch again

After all, he was reunited with the Beethoven duo for the first time during his Osaka bday event the other day and they were able to create good memories together

He apologizes that he's not good at making people laugh when he's livestreaming (not true)

He thinks his ordinary self is really not that interesting or funny

Again, he's bringing up how bad he is with keeping a time schedule 😂 Throwing everyone from Okayama under the bus again lol

At this point, the second part of the stream is only gonna be 8 minutes 🤣

Lenient Hiroki but only when it's concerning friends and those he's close with, he wouldn't be causing the same troubles when it's in a work-setting

Guess he used to be an unbelievable student lmao

If he said to meet up with his Okayama friends in the early afternoon, they'd eventually meet in the evening

"Time moved so slowly when we were kids. Time may be finite, but back then, I lived my life thinking that it was infinite"

Naturally, all this only goes for the people who you used to see every day, never for the ones who you see occasionally or if they've travelled a long way to see you - if that's the case, he'll be on time for sure

≫≫ 2nd half of the stream:

In the last Nakacha, he told us that Akashi and Chougi shared the same make-up artist, but there's one more!

Apparently there's one costumer for every two Touken danshi

He shared costumer with Hizen this time

Ryouga and Kouhei live in their own little world and he thinks they're very cute

Let's do a second kanpai now that the stream is cut 🍻

He's wearing his rainbow striped Adidas pants tonight 🌈

This month's second beer: Premium Malt's Kaoru Ale Limited Design 500ml 🍺

The second one tasted completely different from the first one! He's surprised to see PreMalt's having such different tastes even though it's the same brand

The chat points out it's better to wipe it before opening

He's embarrassed his stomach is making noises since he hasn't had dinner yet 🥺

He had sandwiches and some good sushi in Osaka

It wasn't that there were no bentos for the bday event, just that there was one missing. He thought the staff were just messing with him at the time and that's why it came to mind when he did the weird corner in the second part of the Tokyo event

Since he didn't know the reason for it, he couldn't help but feeling out of place

Another tummy rumble

He didn't notice that they had spelled his name wrong on the screen (博喜 became 博貴)

He's still thankful for everyone who participated in such a short amount of time

Also, he's reached the age now that even if he realises he's being made fun of, he doesn't think too much of it

≫ English corner:

"Rose is sexy flower!"

He didn't know that bara was rose 😭

His English vocabulary is limited in the first place so the words he come up with on the spot are unexpected

This time it was very difficult for him, he thought he was gonna lose his mind halfway through

His English is limited but he still believes that he manages to get his point across if he ever was to go abroad (oh sweetie)

Someone in the chat mentions how he's even appeared in UtaPri yet he never remembers the word

He's gonna remember it from now on, if only the word is gonna come up in the future (we've heard small King for so many events lately so I'm pretty sure it's gonna appear again 😂)

The most frequent words have probably been ouji (prince) and aru hi (one day)

He doesn't know exactly what pit in is but he thinks it's along the lines of got there/getting there/going there (he doesn't think he should look into it, then it'd be meaningless)

He knows old is furui but not mukashi mukashi (once upon a time/a long time ago)

He's learned pit in from Formula 1.. but in the next breath he says he's never watched F1

Shoutout to Toyoko Inn

He's saying "nanananana" (catchfrase by Jp comedian Joyman) then says he mimicked him one time at rehearsals (which rehearsal? we'll never know) even though he wasn't even trying to do an impression but it received lots of laughter

"It's a battle between actors, when the unreasonable request of doing something on the spot comes up"

≫ Furuba:

He wanted to talk about Tori-san, then he keeps on saying -san -san -san

The chat mentions unrelated words also ending in -san like Ohta Isan, sekaiisan, Ryukakusan

Someone asks where he heard of Shukipi (song by idol group =LOVE) which he referenced as part of the adlib aikotoba when entering Ayame's shop (10.14 matinée performance); it was not intended to be part of the play since it's not in the source material, he was just joking around during rehearsals

It seems he had gotten the OK for from the producers beforehand to reference the title of the song

He's unsure if he did the correct lyrics tho

Apparently Sashihara Rino (producer of =LOVE, previous member of AKB48) came to see the play that day! (Souma Isuzu's actress Nogiuchi Iori is part of =LOVE. Additionally, Honda Tooru's actress Yoshida Ayano Christie is also part of Nogizaka46 which is the official rival group of AKB48 🫢)

Someone asks him how long it took to make the Aya doll but first, as for the "Yuki-chan who loves his brother 100%" cardboard standee, he drew it all by himself after everyone had left the performance hall for the day

He stuck around until closing hour

Since he had about an hour off-stage for each day's performance, he had alot of thinking time

Then the cardboard standee was destroyed in an instant lol

He thought it would've been nice if it had been destroyed by Yuki himself but Kyo is Kyo after all

"The cardboard was then thrown apart without further discussion"

He was shocked since the cardboard was actually pretty hard

He went to Tokyu Hands by himself to buy the cardboard specifically, then he hired a car to have it delivered (!!) because there was no way he was bringing 180cm cardboard on the train or in a taxi - and he paid it all by himself

It wasn't Aya who fell to his knees on stage, it was all Hiroki 😂

They would pay it if he asked them to, but he did it because he wanted to

He thinks it'd be uncool to have the others pay for every single thing

It might have been better if he spent his money on other props since it was finished off with a single blow, but as long as that moment leaves a lasting impression on alot of people, he thinks it's worth the time and money spent

"Its value is not in the time it takes, but in how much it remains in people's hearts"

The chat points out how he still wanted those 4000¥ at the event 🤣

He laughs over the fact that they had all said there was no way they'd be able to break it beforehand, but then it went just like that lol

Kyo just went for a full power lariat punch

But that's one of the things he likes about Shouhei, he goes all in

He kept forgetting to have the ensemble get off-stage before the others came back

He also went to Nitori and bought a pillow made of bird feathers and a body pillow?? He didn't get to use the body pillow this time tho

He didn't want to tell the shop staff he wasn't planning on using the pillows for their intended purpose when he asked for as cheap as possible

He's been questioning himself alot for a long time; "what am I doing?"

As for the scene where he held the kabutomushi (Japanese rhinoceros beetle), he doesn't even remember how it came to be

It had only been a few days since they had gotten to the rehearsals (they hadn't even gone through the rehearsals or practiced yet) and on the second day, they were already in costume

He's never done anything in that condition before

They gave him free rein to do pretty much whatever he wanted

He's not sure why he came out with the beetle in that really moving scene but it received lots of laughter during rehearsals

Hiroki himself barely even realizes that he held a beetle, he just wanted to convey that specific line

It was actually a stag beetle apparently - it might have been because Tooru called it a stag beetle in another scene. Maybe Ayame had picked it up first then let it escape

Needless to say, none of this was in the script lol

At one of the performances, there was a man in the audience who did a snorting laugh so Hiroki almost lost his composure

(Note: snort laughing is butappana (ぶたっぱな/豚鼻) which uses the characters for 'pig' and 'nose')

The spotlight had only just hit him but he hadn't said any lines yet

He was happy to receive that response even though it wasn't the right timing

"If I'd laughed in that scene, I wouldn't be a professional anymore"

In that sense, they're really making the performances together with the audience, it's different every time

≫ Tensura and Suehiro:

He mentions snort laughing senpais like Shunri and Yuya - and Yuya truly is a pig nose ww

At the very end in Tensura when Geld begs for forgiveness from the Ogre clan, apparently Yuya found it very funny that his pig nose was basically pressed into the ground 🐽

He seemed to have been struggling quite alot with that nose (not to mention they had to get rid of the tusks before the performances had even begun)

B*z*n and Ts*r*m*r* had the same make-up artist for Suehirogari 🤫

Unless their make-up sessions didn't fall within the same timeslots, he doesn't know who had their make-up done together with who

Someone asks "what about Michu-niki?" and he thinks they meant Murata Mitsu since they said -niki (from aniki; older brother) but they actually meant Hayashi Mitsuaki (Onimaru's actor)

He's not sure if he should say this but he can't help but think Mitsuaki looks like Menjo Kentaro (!!)

He thinks they're both wild, old-fashioned, a bit clumsy, close in age (Mitsu is born in 1990/10 and Menjo is 1990/11), and have similar face structure

He's unsure if he should say things like these but since he's not saying anything bad, moreover he thinks it's positive, it doesn't have to be a secret - everyone go tweet it 👌

He hasn't seen Menjo in a while and he misses him 🥺

He burp

The burping powder from the Osaka event was actually quite tasty (iirc it tasted of apple?)

≫ Bday event and Chaba:

He's thankful for all the gifts he received at the bday event 🎁 The ones from Osaka have yet to arrive though

He's gonna open them all later, not on livestream though

He's got a cardboard box of gifts and letters on the other side of the room

"I wonder if it's okay to be this happy? 'Show us the cardboard box' - I can't just do that, can I? I can't show every single person. To me, everyone is equally important, and I don't want to show it to anyone else. Please let me enjoy it on my own"

Someone asks if he actually read the letters and he responds, "you don't think I read them? That hurts" 💔

He does remember Ochappachans' faces

If he's completely super honest though, he does not remember names. If one's icon and face matches though, he'll remember

He would like more of us Chaba to have our faces as icons

He might remember if for example, you say your name and show your icon while taking cheki together

He might remember some by their no-face icons though but not all - he will not tell lies

Naturally, he will not remember the faces of first-time event visitors

"For newcomers, it may not be very pleasant words to hear, but the ones who have been supporting me for a long time often tell me how many years they have been with me. And that makes me happy, and of course I'll remember it. In the end, those newcomers are going to be the same way in a few years. So I'm hoping that as that happens, there will be more and more of that, more and more albums in my head, and I'm hoping that we'll get to that point"

He's sorry he's really bad with names but he's trying his best

From his point of view, it makes him happier if someone remembers his face rather than name

"It's not a competition, and it doesn't mean anyone's inferior. You are all important people to me. There is no difference. There is no difference, but the fact that they have been supporting me for a long time is just a fact. That's still a wonderful thing and it makes me happy. I'd be very happy if you said you've been with me for 10 years. But that's not to say I'm not happy with the ones who have been with me for less than a year. So if someone says 10 years, 8 years, 7 years, 6 years, I'd say, "wow, that's a long time." Let's all have that conversation. It's fine isn't it, let's grow old together. No?"

Then again, it's not about the length of time but rather the depth of that time spent

Even though he hasn't been able to see us for three years, he was happy to see people coming again for the first time in three years

It's not about what appeals to him specifically, he's just happy about that fact

He then acknowledges the Chaba who come from overseas since there were quite a few at the event this time

"I understand that it is not a matter of distance, but how hard, precious, and how much energy it takes to go to see someone"

That's one of the reason why taking cheki together is such an important time to him because we get to spend time close to each other

"I think it's fine for everyone to have their own way of looking at it, but for me, that is the most direct moment for me because it's the moment when I feel the most about how much you feel for me to come to see me"

His heart is grinning but he apologizes for his tired facial expressions

"To begin with, I don't smile very often. I'm not a person who smiles, so my facial expressions aren't trained. But when I do smile, I smile. My heart is always smiling"

Someone in the chat mentions how they have still never had any physical contact with him (due to remaining COVID restrictions) and he responds, "aren't our hearts always touching?"

For his next event, he'd like to be able to have physical contact

For the Osaka evening cheki, he had assigned one of the poses as "good heart" (search for グッドハートポーズ) where one does half a heart and the other gives a thumbs up (kind of like a rejection), but because there was a confusion of who would do which pose, it pretty much just ended up like a full heart most of the time 🫶

Many of the Chaba thought they weren't allowed to touch the partition screen or they were too embarrassed to touch it

He wanted to break down the partition screen

Everyone were touching all over with the handcuffs tho

"The handcuffs were great. I liked the handcuffs, personally I liked them alot. It felt like we were connected. The other [poses] were also good, but I thought the handcuffs were really good"

He'd like to clarify (once again) that he is not a masochist 😂

He snort laughs and apologizes to both Yuya and that person in the audience 🐽

He will not be holding a hugging event because "hugging is not such a simple thing" - and neither is him becoming a lap pillow

He thinks doing pinky promises for next time should be okay

Someone asks if he would do a hug if they offered more money (than the regular cheki which tends to be 3000¥) but he says it's not about money but rather what you can and can't do since COVID is still quite prevalent and the flu is going around at this time

Since he had to avoid cancelling the events at all costs, that's also why he was able to let go a bit on the restrictions in Osaka since he doesn't have anything else planned afterwards

Instead of handcuffs, he had everyone holding the balloon in Tokyo (he held "3" and Chaba held "6")

It was the first time he had balloons as props 🎈

Now he's gonna wrap up the livestream, go to the bathroom, then set up the gaming stream

"'Hey hey, is it ok if I fall in love with you?' On the contrary, have you not fallen in love with me at this point? Ouch"

He calls himself the husband of 700 people again (except only 600 were live atm)

He's got serious trauma from the scorpion 🦂 He's glad he didn't have to eat it in the end

Majima = Broccoli 🥦

It's been a while since he did a gaming stream so he's sorry it's probably only going to be Duck Simulator tonight. He's gonna have to talk with the staff at OpenRec to figure out how to stream the other things he downloaded but wasn't able to play

He tried looking it up on his own but he found no solution online

His bunny ears keep being out of frame so he just looks like someone who's wearing some kind of weird piece of string

This month's roll call was just an ordinary one 👋 Shoutout to Mayumi

Lastly, he called out Chaba so he called everyone 🍵

He won't tweet when the gaming stream starts so he's relying on all of us to spread the word instead lol

Chaba is his only manager 🙌 But he thinks we're all a bit strict so we should all go to Okayama and chill

≫ OpenRec's Discord:

He hasn't checked his Discord these last couple of days so he might have been logged out (since it's connected to his OpenRec account, which is consequently also the company's account), apparently it takes quite some time to log in

He assures us there are benefits of being subscribed to Gold Membership

He thinks his Discord has been quite lonely recently

He sees everything Chaba write on Discord, even though he doesn't comment often. Of course he checks Twitter too, but Discord is the only platform where he has unrestricted access to a Chaba-only timeline

As for letters (via OpenRec), he's the only one who sees them (but he doesn't think it's good because he doesn't want to make money from it and it costs alot of money to send)

Basically, he doesn't check his Twitter DMs. If he turned on his Twitter DMs, there would be no point in using Discord and he thinks it would be rude for the people who are sending him messages there

If he stops Discord, he'll have to stop doing OpenRec

Since he's not with an agency anymore, he hasn't been receiving many fan letters recently (he looks so sad and lonely as he says this 🥺)

He clarifies that he does indeed read his fan letters!

He will not tell his account number

He wants us to take a screenshot and tweet it alongside the gaming livestream notification

He's not that drunk rn; he's got work and he's grown - not like before when he was in a disarray during COVID

Last year was a bit difficult too (not that it had anything to do with being drunk)

He was so drunk he doesn't even remember that particular livestream

He won't do InstaLive or YouTube either

He thinks it's incredible you can now charge money on Twitter, he has no idea how the monetization works though

He apologizes for his bad time management (again) 😅

"Once again, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Tensura, Suehirogari, Furuba and then birthday event for these past two and a half months. I'm sure I've pushed you too hard by including all of this [in this amount of time]. I honestly have a mixture of feeling sorry for making you work so hard and grateful for having you come to see me. From hereon, I probably won't have any press conferences/meetings next month or the month after that, I don't know if there will be any, and even if there is, it might not be, or even if there is, it hasn't been decided. Now that COVID is over, there are instances where the stage will be decided a month or two in advance. For example, I may have received an offer in January, or I may have received an offer in December, but I've probably been saying this for a long time now that it doesn't necessarily mean anything will come out of it. It might be very difficult to balance the times when we can't see each other and when I won't appear [on stage], but I still want us to see that scenery together. I don't want us to view a scenery that I don't want to see. I want us to always be able to see the same scenery - but I might have to make you wait a little while. It's okay if you have an affair, that's totally fine. If it gives you energy, then that's fine. That's fine. It's my fault for not being able to take you on a trip that shows you a much better scenery. Don't worry about it, it's okay - I'm saying that, but it's actually pretty hard for me (laughs)"

Next year may still be far off but he still has some ideas about it

He's not in works as frequently as he used to be but it all comes down to how important each piece is to him personally

While there may be times that we get to see him frequently, rather than having a fixed number of times we get to see him, it depends on how we spend that short amount time together and he likes to think of how to get the most out of that time

Even if he can't meet us, he's still going to continue to send out messages

If he gets 200 comments on Twitter, he will host a Christmas party on the 25th (he just chose a number at random)

He's been getting less replies on Twitter recently

He might try to do a brief dinner show, although he doesn't have the motivation for it. Since he's not with a management anymore, he probably won't be able to do it

Someone apologizes in the chat for slacking off by not replying but he says there's no need to, we all do whatever in our own time

A Christmas party would mean getting rid of this year's Fuyu no Jin

"'If it's a livestream, it's fine' - see, it's already gonna be difficult for everyone! I thought that was definitely gonna be the case so I better stop. This conversation never happened"

He hasn't made any plans for this year's Fuyu no Jin so he's been thinking of not doing it

Even so, he wants to make time to spend with everybody, even if it's a short while

It doesn't have to be necessarily limited to theatrical performances

Christmas is tough with money already so he doesn't want to push us too hard

He'd like to do the dinner show but it's probably gonna be expensive since it won't include all the food and alcohol costs

He's imagining a dinner show like Mikawa Ken'ichi's

He apologizes for being a Libra and not a Scorpio so he won't be singing Mikawa's song titled Sasoriza no on'na (Scorpio woman) ♏❌️♎

He's not gonna make us pay 30 000¥ - but then again that might include food and all-you-can-drink

He thinks maybe it's so expensive because you can't invite that many people

Someone says he could cut a cabbage into strips and they'd be fine with it

"We could all share a heaping amount of shredded cabbage made by Nakada Hiroki www"

Hope is talking in her sleep! 🐶💕

His bladder is at its limit rn so he's gonna finish the stream lol

Screenshot time!

#this month's notes ended up being 14 pages lmao #thanks to the ones who kept on waiting for it #u the real mvp #nakada hiroki #nakacha no ma #translation #my post

ʚɞ notes/diary entry:

today was a bit all over the place. i started pretty strong at lunch and restricted myself well and then went shopping for a few low cal food options which i ended up eating for dinner. i had initially planned to get some shrimp nigiri for my tea as its pretty low in calories and very filling but despite the excess travel i did to get there unfortunately they only took cash and i didn’t have any on hand. 

this kinda sent my mind into a frenzy and it felt like my plan was falling to pieces. i was really tempted to go walk down to the shops and get a bunch of sweets and chocolate to just binge on but i managed to control myself and just walked out with a pint of 90kcal per 100ml ice cream which i’ll eat over maybe a month or two. 

i literally was shocked by how quickly i snapped, and tbh this one thing i had planning kinda ruined my entire night and now i feel really shitty about what i ate.

so in the end i just had a platter of some of the things i bought today. to be honest it was super filling despite such a low calorie count but the fact that most of the measurements are rough estimates i feel really unsatisfied and upset, even tho the calorie margin is probably only in the single digits. also just the fact that i ate SO much and in such wide variety has kinda scared me and made me question whether what I’ve eaten is truly as low cal as I’ve calculated. 

in part i am glad with regards to how much walking i got to do as a result of attempting to get the nigiri for my dinner however i know i’d feel a lot more satisfied with just having had that. 

i’m also so annoyed about the jacobs cream crackers that i ate! :( the laughing cow cheese that i bought honestly isn’t that nice and so to counter the taste i just ate three of the crackers with them and some cucumber. the crackers are so high in calories i’m just gonna get rid of them so i don’t feel tempted to eat them. because if i hadn’t eaten them I’d literally be down to 38kcal for the day! that was my absolute biggest regret today :(

but omg those mini light babybels are SO good! 

i’ve decided i’m gonna have a rest day in terms of work outs since today has been my lowest calorie intake and my highest steps all week. i’m gonna continue to work out for the rest of the week of course :)

i’m trying to tell myself i’m really proud of my low calorie intake today despite but my stupid brain keeps telling me i ate WAY too much today because i genuinely feel like i have :((

Brotzeit Philippines Celebrates Oktoberfest 2023 With Signature Party Days

It's that time of the year again when the beers start flowing and the parties go on and on. Oktoberfest 2023 is right around the corner so Brotzeit Philippines is giving us a head start with its Oktoberfest Menu which is available starting September 1 up to October 29, 2023! They will also be having their Signature Party Days from September 22 to 24 where guests can experience German music and entertainment combined with authentic German food and drinks.

Brotzeit proudly celebrates Oktoberfest 2023 at its two branches in Alabang West Parade and at Shangri-La at the Fort this September and October. Oktoberfest is an annual festival held in Munich, Bavaria in Germany from mid-September to the first Sunday in October. This year, it will be held from September 16 to October 3, 2023, but you don't have to travel to Germany because Brotzeit is bringing the party right here in Manila.

My friends and I got a sneak preview of what to expect at Brotzeit for Oktoberfest 2023. Brotzeit was conceived in Singapore in 2006 and now operates across the Asia Pacific region. It aims to introduce authentic Bavarian cuisine accompanied by world famous quality German beer in a chic and contemporary setting, so Oktoberfest is always one of its biggest events of the year. Now on their 10th year in the Philippines, there’s no better place to enjoy this annual German tradition than at the country’s most popular German bier bar and restaurant.

Brotzeit is very proud of its German beers and these are taken very seriously from sourcing, using proper glassware, and even pouring techniques. All beers at Brotzeit are brewed according to the Germany purity law, so you are assured of an authentic German experience.

We tried some of the exclusive Oktoberfest beers that can only be found at Brotzeit in the Philippines. Schneider's Bayrisch Hell is a traditional beer that is similar to its homeland, pure and full of character. On the other hand, the Schneider Weisse Tap 7 Original is a stronger beer that has a deep amber color. These beers can be ordered in 300ml (P300), 500ml (P440), or 1 Liter (P850) glasses.

They also offer the Schneider Weisse Love Beer (P380) which has a lovely golden color and comes with aromas of citrus, stone fruit, and elderflower with flavors similar to Sauvignon Blanc. The beer has a refreshing tang that finishes with an earthy noble-hop bitterness.

If you want to make the entire table happy, go for the Three-Liter Barrel (P2550) which can provide enough beers to last the entire evening.

Another option is the Weihenstephaner Festbier, a full rich-bodied hoppy seasonal lager especially brewed for the Festbier season. I think The Pickiest Eater in the World had a bit too much beer during our party.

Now let’s try some of the special Oktoberfest dishes. Brotzeit has created a new Oktoberfest Menu that perfectly represents the season and goes very well with the featured beers for this celebration. The Bratwurst Semmel Klassik (P450) is a Hungarian cheese sausage served with sauerkraut and sweet mustard on a brioche baguette.

There's also the Bratwurst Semmel (P480) which is served with a mushroom sauce, gherkins and spring onions also on a brioche baguette. Both sausages come with a side of potato wedges which are also so good to nibble on.

You can never go wrong with the Meterwurst (P1100). This sizzling meter-long grilled sausage spiral is best for bigger groups who just can't get enough of Brotzeit's sausages. It is also served with potato wedges and sauerkraut.

For the meaty main courses, the Geräucherte BBQ Schweinerippcher (P1350) will surely give everyone enough energy to party. These juicy BBQ smoked pork ribs comes topped with coleslaw and is served with toasted garlic bread.

I love steaks so my favorite would definitely be the Rinder Auf Dem Oktoberfest (P1200). This is 250 grams of Australian rib eye with pommes, and pfeffer sauce. The beef is cooked medium just the way I like it. It also comes with potato fries and salad so that makes it doubly good.

If you really want to celebrate Oktoberfest, go and order the Oktoberfest Platter 2023 (P5200). This huge meaty platter will surely be the highlight of your Oktoberfest celebrations with is combination of Oktoberfest specials and Brotzeit favorites.

This full platter comes with a Meterwurst, Brotzeit's Signature Pork Knuckle, BBQ Pork Spareribs, Australian Rib Eye and your choice of sides.

You can order these separately from the Oktoberfest Menu but if you are with a big group, then the Oktoberfest Platter is the best way to go. I always love having Brotzeit's pork knuckles with its crispy skin and and very tender meat. Pair your order with any of Brotzeit's German beers for a perfect Oktoberfest combination.

For desserts, try the Kaiserschmarren (P250) which is an Emperor's Pancake served with cranberry jam and apple sauce. You can also get the Apfelstrudel (P190) which has sweet spiced apples inside a flaky crust and served with whipped cream.

I was happy to see my childhood friend Nikki Viola here at Brotzeit. Nikki now works for When in Manila as a correspondent so I get to see her more often now during media events.

Brotzeit's Oktoberfest 2023 celebrations culminate with their Signature Party Days on September 22 to 24, 2023. This huge 3-day Oktoberfest party will be similar to how they do it in Germany. Special guests will be the AnTon Showband which is a popular German group that performs traditional German folk tunes to modern hits. They will be playing at Brotzeit Alabang West Parade on September 22 and 24 then at Shangri-La at the Fort on September 23. You can book your tables early and join this unforgettable musical journey at (https://www.brotzeitdelivers.com/reservation).

We also got a sample of the activities you can find at Brotzeit in the next few weeks. An Oktoberfest party will not be complete without games and fun challenges, so Brotzeit will also be giving away great prizes for its guests during the Oktoberfest season.

Try your skills at the beer mug lifting challenge for the girls, or the beer barrel challenge for the guys. There will also be beer drinking contests where the fastest group can win great merchandise and prizes from Brotzeit. My husband was more than ready to drink his beers.

We would like to thank Malvin Ang and DK Herrera for hosting our Oktoberfest 2023 preview giving us another taste of this awesome German celebration. Head to Brotzeit now and experience this delightful Bavarian tradition yourselves. I love their giveaway shirts!

BRAND NEW Guide to Celebrity Cruises' Drink Packages in 2023! Should You Upgrade to All Included?

https://lifesporttravel.com/?p=1755 BRAND NEW Guide to Celebrity Cruises' Drink Packages in 2023! Should You Upgrade to All Included? - https://lifesporttravel.com/?p=1755 We have a complete guide to Celebrity Cruise Drink Packages new for 2023. We detail all the plans, plus upgrade options, to help you decide if a cruise line drink package is right for your next trip. Subscribe to the Eat Sleep Cruise YouTube Channel if you love to travel and cruise the world! https://www.youtube.com/c/EatSleepCruise1 If you enjoy the video, please make sure to give it a BIG THUMBS UP! IS A CELEBRITY CRUISE DRINK PACKAGE WORTH IT? 0:00 Introduction 0:53 Drinks Included on a Celebrity Cruise 1:32 Basics of Celebrity Cruise Drink Package 3:00 Purchasing a Celebrity Cruise Drink Package 4:32 Celebrity Classic Drink Package 6:00 Celebrity Premium Drink Package 7:50 Celebrity Zero Proof Drink Package 8:50 Celebrity Cruises Drink Prices 9:50 Is Celebrity Cruise Drink Package Worth it? 12:33 Should You Upgrade to Celebrity All Included CELEBRITY CRUISES DRINK PACKAGES: BASICS OF CELEBRITY CRUISES DRINK PACKAGES Celebrity Cruises updated its drink package offerings in 2023. Now, there are only three Celebrity Cruises beverage packages. Regardless of the package, cruisers must purchase the package for the entire duration of cruise. All packages are priced per person, and are subject to a 20% gratuity charge. There are no limits to how many beverages a cruiser can consume on the package. Of course, the cruise line has the right to deny you service if you are obviously intoxicated. CELEBRITY CLASSIC DRINK PACKAGE The Celebrity Cruises Classic Beverage package starts at $89 per person, per day before the 20% gratuity charge. This package includes all alcoholic drinks up to $10 a serving. Thus, the Celebrity Classic Drink Package covers most beers and a decent amount of wine by the glass. Many mixed drinks and popular spirits will be included on this package as well. Although, specialty cocktails at the Martini Bar, World Class Bar, and Eden on Edge-Class ships will be over the covered allotment. Further, this Celebrity drink package includes a wide variety of non-alcoholic beverages, like soda, 500ml bottled water, and specialty coffees and teas at Cafe al Bacio. If cruisers want a drink above the $10 allotment, they simply pay the difference, plus the service charge. CELEBIRTY PREMIUM DRINK PACKAGE The Premium Drink package starts at $109 per person, per day, and covers drinks up to $17. This drink package will cover most cocktails at the Martini bar, World Class bar, and Eden. The Premium Drink Package also covers essentially all domestic, international, and craft beers. Further, a wider range of wines by glass will be included in this package. Along with all of the non-alcoholic beverages covered in the classic package, the premium drink package includes juices and smoothies at the Aqua Spa Juice Bar, plus premium still and sparkling bottled water like Evian and Perrier. UPGRADING TO THE ALL INCLUDED FARE Currently, Celebrity Cruises offers two fare options, the Cruise Only fare and the All Included fare. The all included fare includes the cruise fare, plus a Classic Drink Package, gratuities, and a basic WiFi internet package. While prices fluctuate, our research found that the All Included rate tended to be about $80 per person, per day more than the cruise only fare. For us, upgrading to this package makes sense as cruisers are getting the three amenities that have a retail value of over $123 for a discounted rate. So, cruisers can save around a third off the retail value of purchasing these amenities individually. Actually, even if you plan to just get a Celebrity drink package, you will still save money by upgrading to this pricing option.

ships are included in the cruise Fair   Thus you need to pay alakara at this venue or  you can opt for Celebrity Cruises drink package   Regardless of drink package you choose there  are a few basic things that you need to know   About the Celebrity Cruises drink packages all  drink packages are priced per person per day   You must purchase a celebrity cruising package the  entire length of your cruise you cannot purchase   Just select dates the stated prices do not include  the additional 20 service charge which is added   When purchasing the package additionally  applicable state and local taxes may be   Applied to purchases made during certain ports  or on certain itineraries as you would expect   There's no sharing of the drink package or using  your package to order drinks for other Cruisers   A Celebrity Cruises drink package can be canceled  through the cruise planner up to two days before   The sale date and are 100 refundable or you board  the ship perfect packages are available on most   Sailings that are two days or longer it except  two or three day sailings from Southampton England   Additionally beverage packages are not  available on cruises in the Galapagos   You can use your Celebrity Cruises drink package  almost anywhere in the ship this includes the bars   And lounges complimentary dining venues and the  specialty restaurants however room service and the   Mini bar are not included the Celebrity Cruise  drink packages also work on Royal Caribbean's   Private Island a perfect day at CoCo K and Lobby  80. no matter what package you choose you're only   Allowed to get one drink at a time whether  it's an alcoholic or a non-alcoholic beverage   There are essentially two ways you can purchase a  celebrity Cruiser string package you can purchase   One online pre-cruise up to 72 hours before your  sale date or once on board the ship during the   First day of your voyage however you'll usually  save money by purchasing one free Cruise if you   Pre-purchase a Celebrity Cruise drink package  it will be activated upon boarding the ship and   Immediately ready for you to use unfortunately all  guests of legal drink age in the same stateroom   Must purchase Celebrity Cruises drink package so  not just one person in a cabin can purchase it   Teens pregnant guests and medical exemptions  must get the zero proof drink package this also   Applies when you're upgrading your dream package  from the classic drink package to the premium   Both guests must opt for the upgrade unlike  some other Cruise Lines there's no daily   Limit for drinks with Celebrity Cruises  during packages if you purchase a Celebrity   Cruise drink package you're entitled to as many  non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks as you want   Of course staff do have the right to refuse  you bar service if you're obviously intoxicated   Knowing our limits is just as important  on a cruise ship as it is back on land   However guests may only order one drink at a time  with the beverage package any additional drinks   Ordered will be charged at current bar prices  now that you know the basic details that apply   To all three of Celebrity Cruises drink packages  let's take a look at each drink package separately   And what's included help you find the right  drink package for your next trip perhaps the   Most popular drink package on Celebrity Cruises  is a classic drink package currently the drink   Package is priced at 89 per person per day for  the 20 gratuity once you add that gratuity the   Total cost of the classroom package for a  seven day cruise would be 747.60 per person   Class stream package is also the one you get  if you opt to upgrade the all included price   This celebrity dream package covers beers Spirits  cocktails liqueurs frozen drinks and wines by the   Glass up to ten dollars per serving this package  also includes a 15 discount on all Wines By the   Bottle if a guest order exceeds a 10 maximum value  then you'll be charged only for the difference   Plus the 20 gratuity with this package you're also  entitled to non-premium bottled water specialty   Coffees juices and soda this package does not  include smoothies or Aqua Spa fresh juices   This allotment basically covers all 16 ounce  beers on the ship and a basic selection of red   And white wines at the onboard restaurants and  bars when it comes to cocktails the package does   Cover a fair amount of Premium brands however top  shelf Liquors and Cocktails at the martini bar the   World-class bar or Eden on edge class ships will  not be included in the classic beverage package   So if you're looking to upgrade your experience it  is a Celebrity Cruises premium drink package this   Covers all the drinks in The Classy drink package  plus as you would expect some premium offerings   These selections include the specialty coffees  and teas craft and Artisan beers Spirits cocktails   Frozen drinks Coca-Cola products premium bottled  water and wines by the class up to 17 dollars   Also guests get a 20 discount off all bottles  of wine currently Celebrity Cruises premium   Drink package is priced at 109 per person  per day again before that 20 gratuity   Once you add in that 20 gratuity the typical  cost for this drink package for a seven night   Cruise would be 915.60 per Cruiser similar to the  classic beverage package if a guest orders drink   That exceeds a 17 maximum value you'll be charged  for the difference only plus that 20 gratuity   Honestly we were just on Celebrity Cruises  brand new ship celebrity Beyond and you'd be   Hard-pressed to find a drink that's not  covered in the premium package although   There are a few exceptions at the Eden Bar  where some drinks are over this allotment   The premium beverage package will cover the  martinis at the martini bar and most of the   Handcrafted drinks at the world class bar as well  as a much wider selection of wines by the glass   Further guests with the premium package receive  unlimited premium still and sparkling bottled   Water Red Bull Vitamin Water as well as the  spa Cafe Fresh juices and zero proof cocktails   Speaking of zero proof cocktails celebrate  cruises does offer a non-alcoholic beverage   Package which has been rebranded and now is  referred to as a zero proof drink package   While the cruise line used to offer two different  packages covering non-alcoholic beverages   Currently the zero proof drink package is the only  non-alcoholic drink package offered by Celebrity   Cruises this package includes all premium bottled  water including Brands like Evian and Perrier   Specialty coffees and organic teas Red Bull  Energy jinx Frozen smoothies zero proof cocktails   Coca-Cola selections Vitamin Water and bottled  Iced Teas as well as you would expect mocktails   Celery cruises zero proof drink package  is priced at thirty dollars per person   Per day before the 20 gratuity once you  have that gratuity typical costs or a   Seven night cruise the zero proof drink  package would be 252 dollars per person   If you're debating between the classic and the  premium drink package it might be good to know   What the drinks actually cost on subway cruises  so back on the blog we have a detailed look at all   The bars and lounges on Celebrity Beyond with bar  menus that way you can get a sense of what your   Favorite Spirit or favorite drinks cause on that  brand new ship but in general we found that most   Beers were around 650 to 7 a serving most Wines  By The Glass were between six and fifteen dollars   With a decent amount of wines around nine or ten  dollars but honestly we're not big wine drinkers   Mixed drinks start at nine dollars but  we're typically more like 10 to 12 dollars   Those specialty cocktails those cost more like 15  to 18 and as we mentioned some at bar Eden on Ed   Chips and the world class bar are actually  over that 17 limit soft drinks cost about   Three dollars and Specialty coffees average  about five dollars energy drinks are actually   Six dollars and then bottled water is between  three dollars and fifty cents to five dollars   So this brings us back to the original question  our Dream package on Celebrity Cruises worth it   Of course this is a question that only you  can answer based on your own drinking habits   Essentially the question is whether you'll consume  enough beverages to make the purchases worth it   So we put together this chart with a  different beverage costs within each   Category using this chart you can do some  quick math to see if you would routinely   Hit the daily drink cause of the above  packages and don't worry there's a link   To our complete guide to Celebrity Cruises  back on the blog that also contains this chart   Ultimately you need to know your own drinking  habits to determine if the drink packages on   Celebrity Cruises will be a good value during your  cruise other things to consider is the length of   The cruise and how many ports of call are on the  itinerary for instance will you be able to sustain   The same drinking pattern over a three or four  day cruise that you would on a 10 or 14 day cruise   If you're doing a poor intensive Cruise will you  even be on the ship long enough to make good use   Of your Celebrity Cruise during package regardless  of how much we consume one benefit of a drink   Package is the added convenience you never need to  worry about the bar tab at the end of the cruise   Opting for a dream package makes your Crews feel  more all-inclusive while we don't go overboard   See what we did there with alcohol drinks we do  consume plenty of bottled water specialty coffees   And premium non-alcoholic beverages when combining  both the non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages   That we consume during a trip we typically  do recognize a cost savings when purchasing   A Celebrity Cruises beverage package when  compared to purchasing those beverages a la carte   When debating your options you also need to  consider if upgrading to the all included   Package is worth it for your trip when booking a  Celebrity Cruise guests now have the option of a   Cruise only or all included raid the all-included  rate includes a classic beverage package basic   Wi-Fi and gratuities the all-included rate  is available for all statement categories   Including the retreat and it's available  on most sailings except the Galapagos   Now all guests in the same stateroom must  choose the same rate the time of booking   Guest staying in their tree actually get  an upgraded all-include experience which   Includes a premium drink package gratuities  unlimited premium Wi-Fi and onboard credit   Price to upgrade from the cruise only to the  all-included fare does vary based on number of   Factors however during our recent tests Where We  examined multiple ships and different itineraries   And different sail dates we saw the upgrade  cost around 80 dollars per person per day   So for us the question becomes is it worth  upgrading to Celebrity Cruises all included   Package versus buying three packages outright so  when you're considering this question you'll want   To determine the cost of such included amenities  as you mentioned the classic beverage package is   89 per person per day before the gratuity basic  Wi-Fi is 16.99 per person per day and gratuities   Are 17.50 per person per day for most statement  categories 18 per person per day for concierge   Class and aqua Class 8 rooms and 21 dollars  per person per day for guests of the retreat   Of course it is possible that your online  Cruise planner may run sales on these individual   Offerings allowing you to purchase them for  slightly cheaper than the above listed price still   If you plan to purchase a drink package on your  Celebrity Cruise upgrading to the all-included   Package is a no-brainer you essentially  get basic Wi-Fi and the gratuities for free   However if you don't think you'll have at  least a few drinks each day then upgrading   To the all-included probably doesn't make sense  for you if you were thinking of getting the zero   Proof drink package then the additional add-ons  of Wi-Fi and gratuities it still doesn't hit that   Approximately eighty dollars for upgrading to the  all included now if you opt for the all included   You are able to upgrade your drink package from  the classic to the premium for 24 per person per   Day plus a gratuity you can also upgrade the basic  Wi-Fi to premium Wi-Fi for 15 per person per day   Either way we see the all-included package it's  a nice perk help you save money and help make   Your vacation a little more stress-free if you  need additional help planning your Celebrity   Cruises cruise we suggest you check out our  video everything that's included on Celebrity   Cruises Plus what's Extra weed through all  the details and break down what's actually   Covered in the Celebrity Cruises fair or dining  entertainment and on-board activities plus note   The additional cost that the cruise line  doesn't tell you about that way you'll   Know the true cost of your Celebrity Cruise and  won't get sticker shop at the end of the trip Mike Izzo https://lifesporttravel.com/?p=1755

Dog Shampoo and Conditioner and Cleaning Advantages

Selecting the best puppy shampoo and conditioner can be a complex process, as young dogs have very sensitive skin (just like a baby) that does need to be cleansed, butwith the most mild of formulas thatmoisturisewithout disrupting the pH of their skin. Choosing a shampoo and conditioner is indeed a very important decision.It will not only set your puppy up with early bath time experience, but care for their skin from the start. Bath time may not be a fun experience for everyone, but it is a necessary part of your pets health.

Shampoo Vs Conditioner

Shampoo is a very common hair care product (for both humans and dogs) used for the removal of oils, dirt, skin particles, dandruff, environmental pollutants and other contaminant particles. Conditioners are usually of thicker, creamy consistency applied to the skin and hair shaft after washing. Shampoo cleanses away the dirt, dust, and bacteria present on your puppy. It also removes old keratin and any excess sebum. Hair needs both, but not at the same time. Unlike shampoos, conditioners hydrate and nourish the puppy's skin &hair, so can be used every day. Consider conditioning even on non-shampoo days after swimming or rinsing after a swim in the sea, but please note that in order for the skin and hair shaft to fully absorb moisture, it needs to be cleansed first. Shampoo opens the hair shaft in readiness to accept moisture, while conditioner closes the hair shaft.

The makings for a perfect day

The Alpines for example were taking almost as much time from the Mercs there as the Red Bull. It wasn’t just the Red Bull the Merc was struggling against there, it was several other ostensibly slower cars too. There was just no getting around that hard fact. It never got any closer than 0.18s through just that short sequence, and began the weekend even further off than that. The overwhelming part of that advantage came from the exit of Turn 2 to the banked entry of Turn 3, which is effectively all one sequence.įor whatever reason, the Mercedes just refused to work through there. Dressing is best served at room temperature.There were a couple of moments where Verstappen’s victory might have got away from him – probably the biggest wobble being his less than perfect lap which only just secured him pole in a car in which he otherwise had around three tenths advantage. You could substitute feta or goat cheese. Cotija is a crumbly, sharp Mexican cheese. Grilled or fire-roasted corn will add additional flavour. TIPS: Instead of canned corn, you can use 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) thawed frozen corn kernels or cooked fresh corn in this recipe. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, for at least 1 hour before serving. Arrange beans, jicama, corn, bell pepper and avocado side by side on top of lettuce. Spread lettuce evenly across a large serving platter. 1/2 cup (125ml) freshly squeezed lime juiceĭressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, hot pepper flakes, garlic and honey.1 yellow or red bell pepper, seeded, cored and diced.1 can (14 to 15 oz/398 to 425 mL) corn kernels, drained.1 can (14 to 19 oz/398 to 540 mL) black or pinto beans, rinsed and drained.This is a wonderful vegetarian meal but can be topped with chicken or steak as well. A citrus marinade refreshes these chopped veggies. Serves 4-6.įresh goodness and colour are at the heart of this fresh chopped salad. Ladle into individual bowls and garnish with equal amounts of tortilla chips, avocado and green onion. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover and cook until onion is softened, 4 to 6 minutes. In a large pot, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let cool. Add chicken and cook, turning once, until no longer pink inside, 6 to 8 minutes per side. 4 green onions, green parts only, minced.2 cups (500ml) broken corn tortilla chips.1/2 cup (125ml) freshly squeezed lime juice (4 to 5 limes).Layers of garlic and lime embrace the fresh avocado garnish - a perfect soup for warm summer months. There is a light citrusy flavor that you will love in this hearty chicken soup. Here's a selection of recipes from Coffeen's book that are bound to put the Ole! into your taste buds. In addition to delicious recipes and fool-proof tips, Coffeen's book covers fascinating historical information about the evolution of Mexican cuisine-from its original roots in the Aztec diet to its introduction into North American cuisine through Hispanic influence.

#The makings for a perfect day

[oshi-nakadapiroki]

Nakada Hiroki Channel Nakacha no Ma #45 2023.8.25 Notes [Eng translation]

≫ Intro:

Again, he tweeted with very short notice soz

He only took one pic with Yuuta at Fuji-Q, although he feels like it's not a pic worth tweeting (at least we got the one Ryouga took)

He was set on not riding any of the attractions so he told Yuuta he'd be waiting instead while they stood in line and waited and waited and waited and then the moment both he and Rei got the safety bar lowered on them, it started pouring down like crazy lol ☔☔️

Hiroki is not the type to ride any of the attractions anyway, not just rollercoasters ❌️🎢❌️ And they only had a short time before rehearsals and all the attractions had like a 20 minute line (The spinning coffee cups are enough for him)

Again, he's wearing his zigzag headband ✨️ He just got home from rehearsals

His sideburns are looking fierce (also I feel like he's gotten a tan on his forehead and I can't unsee it)

The weather was hot but he feels it's still hotter in Tokyo. Besides, it was very windy around Fuji and they had rain the first day

There were lots of bugs but nothing crazy, lots of dragonflies

We get both talk of Fuji and his widow's peak 🗻 It's called Fujibitai in Japanese

This month's beer: Spring Valley White Silk Ale 500ml 🍺

He's gonna get more busy from now on with Suehirogari rehearsals and then Furuba which he hasn't gotten to memorizing his script yet

He doesn't know why he's bringing it up again but he's remembering how it was around the time when SRS22 had wrapped up and he had to cancel a play for the first time in his life (Hoshifuru Machi and Parade) and tabloids wrote that it was because he had "too many lines in the script" - which was absolutely not the case! He still thinks about the drama surrounding it til this day 💔 He won't make statements but sometimes he wants to just let it all out 🥺

It's not a matter of having an agency, he knew it was gonna be difficult to go freelance already

Sudden fireworks in the distance! 🎆 Then he realizes his house might get found out if he tells us there's fireworks in the surrounding area 🤫

He tries to convince himself that fireworks can be heard from quite a distance

Someone does the pinpon dash in the comment section lmao 🏃‍♂️💨💨

He decides to drink some more to shut himself up

Speaking of Shizuoka (someone mentioned in the comments), around 7PM last night he saw his first proper fireworks display of the year 🎆 Apparently they have fireworks when there's an event at Fuji-Q Conifer Forest

He tries to google how far fireworks can be seen heard from a distance - 4 km (and i oop)

He's already forgotten how much time has passed since Tensura performances, he loses track of time when he's deep in rehearsals

Even when ppl say they're freelance, they usually have at least someone tending to them somewhat - he doesn't have anyone like that

Chaba offers to act his manager 🙌

He's happy that we enjoyed his Benimaru and action scenes

He won't say that he looked cool on stage but he will admit his swordsmanship was beautiful

Apparently the old school he used to train under put alot of pressure on its elegance in particular, it's also important to have the right breathing technique

It's also about sliding your feet; in 2.5D, alot of actors are good at moving their upper body but has it go to waste because they can't move their feet just as well

"Everything you do starts with your feet"

"No matter how cool you look on top, if your legs look lame, it's lame"

When he went to see the Touken stage once, he thought that Suzuki Hiroki had a really beautiful technique

More talk about how to move your feet when wearing a hakama

He'll gladly tell us all more about how to stand properly

≫ Food corner:

This month's snack: Gorgonzola dipped in honey 🧀🍯

He used to be obsessed with gorgonzola back in the day, he has recently gotten into eating it again (but he can't have it without honey)

Recently, he's been having prosciutto ham, melon and burrata cheese (as seen)

Overall, he's been having alot of melon, peach and pear recently (shine muscat grapes are too expensive) 🍈🍑🍐

He also likes persimmons

Then again, he doesn't like the sourness of some peaches, and the pit is hard to remove

He finds the sweetness of some peaches compared to melon to be completely different

Peach pit = bouncy ball size

How to crack open a peach or avocado starring Nakada Hiroki

He thinks women particularly likes peaches

Someone calls him chef Hiroki in the chat, even though he doesn't cook that much; all he did was cut up the melon and ham, and poured some olive oil and salt and pepper on it lol

Okayama's specialty seems to be muscat grapes

Someone suggests that he'd do a Hiroki's dinner show but he thinks that would be alot of preparation

He used to eat an insane amount of pears when he was a child and then he got explosive diarrhea 💩

He likes his pears a bit chewy

≫ Tensura:

His hakama did indeed almost slide off during senshuuraku because he was hurrying up the stairs, he wasn't cautions enough with the hakama - they fixed it with magic tape/velcro though

He thought he had ripped it but he hadn't

He did stumble a few times off-stage

Benimaru wears two layered hakama anyways so he thinks it would be fine even if it ripped

Benimaru's outfits were super easy to move around in

Although the footwear were really difficult; he's more used to wearing tabi, so wearing setta (leather soled sandals) was a challenge (jumping was especially difficult)

Some suggested he'd wear rubber soles but it would just get flappy

He forgets what the second toe is called and calls it the ring toe

His toes would clench the setta straps 💢 but it would tingle like it was forming a bruise

Again, he's relishing in how easy it was to wear the overall outfit

At any rate, he finds heels super difficult to wear, particularly as Masaferry and his knee-high boots (they were sexy tho) - that might have been his most difficult one to wear when it comes to footwear

Shoutout to all the ladies who know the pain when the arch of the foot/shoe is rly narrow making it unstable

Shinonome was also difficult in terms of foot strain (the comments point out how he had to change footwear during the performance of Rusted Armor, idk if it was during the 1st or 2nd run)

He's contemplating whether it's more difficult to wear platform sandals or not

≫ Suehirogari:

Akashi is gonna be running this time!

He starts talking about the layout of the stage before realizing in the chat that it hasn't actually been officially announced yet lol (fans have sort of figured it out nevertheless)

The stage wasn't as big as he expected

Definitely bring a raincoat and towel in case of bad weather + lots of water

Shoutout to Beer Ball duo Kensuke and Akira lmao 🍻

He's done numerous live shows indoors already but being outdoors may bring a whole new set of difficult situation

The seats are really close to the stage but it's quite wide instead (unlike Yoyogi Gymnasium and Saitama Super Arena), however it's all same ground level

Also, the setlist is gonna be a bit of a challenge

He thinks it's because he joined rehearsals halfway through, his number of appearances might have decreased, but there's gonna be alot of songs with everyone in it (me: *praying it's not gonna be like Tori in SRS22 Fukuoka/Hiroshima/2nd half of Tokyo and he was off-stage for a good 50 minutes 😭*)

He apologizes due to the various circumstances that he probably won't be on stage much and seems to blame himself for it 🥺

Because of it, he'll show us his best Akashi when he's actually on stage 💖

If Akashi ever got a tanki, it'd just be him and the audience sleeping. He'd be playing relaxing music like when you're at the dentist lol

"Take a nap, have a snack, byebye"

He got a message on LINE from Ryouga

He went out to an izakaya with Ryouga and Nagata - stay tuned for what they had to eat!

Who gave him the banyanya cat - stay tuned!

He was also given a Snorlax Pokémon card because it looked like Akashi (it was not from Haru-chan, Kurumu or Kensuke; if it'd been from Imari, he'd been grossed out lmao)

He saw Mizue Kenta (Yamanbagiri Chougi's actor) again after a long time! (He used to also be at OscarPro)

≫ Birthday event etc:

He didn't do a gaming stream last month either but he's planning on making it up to us again

He thinks he looks like a yankee because he had his eyebrows dyed for Benimaru and it still shows. Since his own brows are rly thick and the colour comes out more naturally if they're more blonde, they ended up bleaching them a bit too much apparently

He seems proud to be complimented on his new shirt (it's a new Adidas launch)

It's not officially confirmed but he's 80% sure that he's gonna host this year's birthday event on Oct 21st (Tokyo) and Oct 29th (Osaka) 🎂

This might be his first local solo event - or not since he had one in Kyoto where Kurumu starred as guest (it was around the timing of Kishou Hongi)

He thought it'd better to have the two split up instead of the following day since they're in different places

"Don't force yourself to come" SIR I WILL TRAVEL ACROSS THE WORLD

Since the Osaka event is right around Halloween, everyone wants him to cosplay

He won't be bringing a guest (MC maybe?)

Cosplay suggestions: Uma Musume, Gojo, Akashi, Sephiroth, Haru (Rabbits Kingdom), Howl, Hamtaro, Goro Majima

He also wants to cos from Twisted Wonderland! Apparently some of the make-up/costume staff had told him he could do Azul (!!!) He doesn't know who he is tho 😭 When the chat tells him he's a megane character, he doesn't want to 🙅‍♂️ He doesn't think he's particularly suited for megane characters himself

Instead of Trey-senpai, he calls him Toilet-senpai

He wants to cosplay Malleus! And Idia

(Personally, I'd like to see him do Azul, Trey or Vil.. Some people suggested Cater as well. He'd probably do a good Sebek too)

Again, he's mentioning Meguro Ren and his hair (see Natsu no Jin Nagomi P2)

Happy Birthday to everyone born in August 🎉

"Enjoy your youth! Enjoy your birthday and your birthmonth this year and make the most wonderful summer memories, together with me!"

He's having trouble cutting the stream (as usual)

He calls Ryouga and Nakata his ochibi-chans 🥺 kawachii

≫ 2nd half of the stream:

Wife time!

He's having a particularly mouldy piece of cheese

Tori told him he went to the sauna yesterday

Shunya gave him the (secret) Pokémon card! He kept it because he didn't want to throw it away but then he passed it on to Ryousei

Apparently Ryousei has his seat right behind Hiroki at rehearsals (chat: it's like a school setting 😭 Touken Gakuen)

We get a short Ryousei impression, kawaii kawaii kawaii

Hiroki's off to pick some tea leaves and get some more beer

This month's second beer: Spring Valley Hojun 496 500ml 🍺🍺

He thinks it's fine if you don't cosplay for Halloween, just clipping something small in your hair is enough

No one would wanna take cheki with him if he cosplayed for real

The event is not gonna take place at the Hulic Hall Theatre this time

He still doesn't believe we want to see him cosplay

It might be the first event he's held in a while that won't require masks (it might depend on the venue though)

He asks if we want to go without masks or see-through partition screen; an overwhelming response for no partition screen!

What if he himself has to wear a mask if there's no partition screen?

He tries to take a peek at the cheese's calorie amount and end up dropping some of it on the floor

Cheese is low in calories so he thinks it's good for when you're on a diet (he himself is proof of it lol), protein is important as well

He hasn't been able to go to the gym at all recently

≫ Tensura and Suehirogari:

Someone mentions the Oni zap in the chat, it seems to have been part of the adlib scene in one of the Tensura performances (8.13 matinée; they had only done it once previously during rehearsals), they had way too fun with the adlibs, to the point they didn't even have to speak with one another

You can tell Hiroki rly likes both Ryo and Hagino, the three of them kept chattering away backstage

They wanted to do the adlib scene (w/ Benimaru, Souei, Hakurou) because it gave a glimpse into the everyday life of the Ogre clan, they wanted to show the warmth and bond they shared as a family, but scenes like that had to be condensed and kept getting cut down

He doesn't know who came up with the adlib idea but they kept it real each time because that's what it's like to be around family

He thinks it's super fun to do adlibs with the help of everyone, after all you can't do adlibs by yourself

It's the same with Toumyu adlib although there's more regulations and it has to be ever more condensed (probably considering how many they are by now)

That being said, he's not saying there weren't restrictions to Tensura but, he just wanted to try to convey what he felt like for the character

There might just be someone who breaks the adlib restrictions in upcoming Toumyu performances, it's gonna be hilarious (a few guesses in the chat it's gonna be Onimaru or Ichi-nii). It's gonna be something that they create together with the audience? (Like a call and response-type of thing??)

He hasn't been getting involved with the new swords at all (might be because he joined halfway through)

He thinks Rei is serious and hardworking, he doesn't understand how he's actually younger (Hiroki is 1 year older), he's always rehearsing, he's very conscious of hierarchical relationships and is very polite (speaking keigo)

But they're always being silly together lol

He really wanted Hiroki to go on the attraction but he stopped before even queuing up. Rui Kihara (Heshikiri Hasebe's actor) went on the ride too

He makes a comment about another Kihara (Minoru) who's a weather forecaster and disaster prevention officer together with the mascot Sorajiro (it's a well known evening weather programme broadcasted in Tokyo)

He and Rui has been talking alot lately

It's only been a few days since he joined rehearsals so there's lots of ppl he haven't talked to yet. He's shy around new people and have been told he's difficult to get to talk so he's been trying to reach out to them himself. He's often told that as soon as he gets talking, their impression of him changes

"Sake suki?" ww (if he'd said no, that would've been the end to the conversation lbr)

He feels like he's gotten closer to Ryouga and Nakata since last year

He invited Tori to come when they went to the izakaya but got rejected cuz he was sleeping lol

He's only seen Daigo once at rehearsals so far but he's nice

Hiroki likes polite youngsters 👶

Keita's also very polite

He thinks he's contradicting himself because he wasn't very polite when he was younger. He talks about how "back in my days", you addressed your senpai by using the -san suffix (This part of the stream was kinda confusing to me since I'm rly not into Johnny & Associates and their manners regarding the -san/-kun debate for senpai/kouhai)

Even he himself would've been pissed off if someone instantly called him by -kun back then

He thinks it's about 50/50 who calls him -san/kun atm; Ryousei says -kun, Sasamori Hiroki says Nakada-san (but that's probably since they're both Hiroki lol), the other Hirokis call him Hiroki-kun though, Seiichiro probably calls him -san

He can keep on talking about who calls who what for hours on end

Seiichiro taught both him and Nobunaga when they were trying to copy and rehearse the dances, apparently he was Nobunaga's caretaker of the day

Nobunaga recorded their dance rehearsal (looking at it from a bird's-eye perspective helps him notice things)

In short: they all get along well (he kept looking at them with a warm smile 🥺)

There aren't that many people around his age so he was happy when there was someone for once who was older (Hagino? Haru-chan?)

"Even though I'm getting older, I'm still on the older side"

He thinks he's the same as spi and Imari; Mokkun is 1 year older; Rei is 1 year younger, then Tori is 2 years younger. He thinks Araki is 3 years older (Imari is born in 1988 tho, Mokkun is also born in 1987, Tori is actually born in 1991, and Araki is 4 years older) And don't forget Haru-chan!

"Hiroki, do you like older or younger?" "Both" 👀

He hasn't seen Araki recently

He checks the message on LINE from Ryouga

He's reminded of the fated meeting he had with that old man in Malaysia, he'd like to make a DVD out of it (pls pls pls do a special one like the camping DVD). Apparently he did take some videos with the help of his tripod, he's just unsure of who he gave the video data to afterwards - turns out he put the data on a SSD and gave it to one of his usual cameramen

He needs to update his FC site and its banner pic (it's still featuring SRS22), we just have to wait a bit for it since he's doing it all on his own

He absolutely has no camping footage left ❌️🏕❌️

His nails have gotten long again! 💅 And they're shiny shiny (he has not painted them)

Some Chaba is bullying him in the chat to give up on the FC site already (he won't!)

"Don't give up!" This is related to a commercial quote by Maya Miki (a famous actress who is currently represented by Hiroki's former agency, Oscar Promotion). He met her at a year-end party some years ago, she was nice

He doesn't know how to remove the banner. It's difficult to do programming, even though he went to a tech high school

So what did he eat with Ryouga and Nagata at the izakaya? He's the senpai so of course he treated them (he then gets off-track again lol)

Someone wanted to eat at Bamiyan but they've got that in Tokyo

Apparently houtou noodle soup is a well-known dish around Fuji-Q (aka it originates from Yamanashi)

He makes up a word pun of houtou (the dish) being pronounced the same as 宝刀 (treasured sword) so if you come and see the houtou, you can also eat houtou! Let's make it go viral #Houtou mi ni itte houtou tabeta

Some Chaba worries he might say it during the curtain call but he assures us he won't. Then he starts thinking about it and realizes he might be able to say it. If he does end up saying it, all of us better laugh for him

He want us Chaba to take pride in being Chaba so don't be embarrassed if he says it

Not hokori as in dust but hokori as in pride

So what did he eat with Ryouga and Nagata at the izakaya? A. Basashi, B. Karaage, C. Umaki. Answer: Umaki!

He's had basashi too but he seems to like umaki more - although he didn't know what it was the first time he heard of it, he tries to play it off as he did know, he just had to ask about it (chat: that's the same as not knowing lol)

He saw quite a few of the uchiwa at Tensura (not so much on the second floor though because it was too high up)! If he had more time, he thinks he would have been able to see all of them

Since both Souei and Rimuru's penlight were blue, he felt a bit lonely having the red ones, but seeing the red scattered all around the audience made him feel very happy, supported and encouraged ❤️

It became a good memory for him so he'd be glad if we felt the same

"Thank you, but it's all thanks to you"

Red stands out alot more than Akashi's light purple, even he himself can't distinguish Akashi's purple (unless you have an uchiwa as well)

He'll be able to tell if we all wear purple jerseys, alt. Raiha jersey (he thinks they're quite fashionable) but he wants us all to wear what we're comfortable with

He doesn't know why Akashi gives off a jersey vibe (me: camp DVD)

Jerseys are perfect for people who don't want to work, and it shields you from getting sunburnt

If he'd be allowed to decide, he'd do the full performance in his jersey

He also wants to be able to get around the place on a bicycle or segway since the stage is so wide

Or a pulled rickshaw or roomba lmao

This month's rollcall was just an ordinary one 👋

He takes a moment to appreciate the snooze button on his phone

He hasn't been doing any gaming streams recently but the next one he's gonna do is gonna be a game called Only Down 🎮

The kitty cat from Stray is currently on hold

He might stream tomorrow (Saturday) or next week (Tuesday)

There had been a request for him to play Only Up so that's why he's doing Only Down

"I know that you are all busy and that it's not easy, but you made the time to come and see me, same as for spending money, and I'd like to thank you all. I am filled with gratitude for all of you, which is not something I take for granted. So I will continue to do my best to make you happy and create good memories with you."

"Thank you for ordering Natsu no Jin goods too!" 💖

He'll keep on working hard, even though Akashi might not appear much - then again he said the same about Benimaru and many said the opposite so maybe it's just him

Ah, necklace (iykyk)

Maybe it's because for him, behind the scenes, the amount of energy it took has been alot easier than in previous productions, so maybe that's why he felt like he was off-stage alot - the action didn't even tire him in the slightest

He judges the amount of his performance based on physical fatigue, but even if he doesn't appear in alot of scenes, he wants to impress and show you such wonderful scenes that it will be burned into your mind

"Maybe I have a presence, Idk. I am tall though"

≫ Furuba:

Ayame is a person with royal dignity 👑

This is the first time he's ever had so few rehearsals for a play (Furuba) so he's a bit scared. He'll have about a week of rehearsals (even fewer than when he did Motherland)

He doesn't think he'll appear more than he did last time (which means we'll get like three main Ayame scenes)

He also wants to wear the wedding dress!!!! 🚨🚨🚨🚨

He doesn't want to spoil it but he thinks this time it's more about Yuki's story

He hasn't had the time to properly look at the script yet

Let's enjoy the second half of the year together!

He's glad they got to tell a peaceful story with Tensura

He's gonna upload the picture of Yuuta later

Lastly, he blew us all a kiss! 💋

≫ Monthly curtain call:

Akashi fan ≠ Chaba 🍵

He's gonna sleep like a log tonight (especially after being outdoors for so long, but do take measures against the heat)!
