I need to cut the preamble short a bit this week as I’m a bit slammed. I have a ton to take care of before I head off to Los Angeles for and 14th Generation Toilet Hanako-San’s return to the States. If you haven’t snagged a ticket yet, regular tickets can be purchased up to the start time of the event. VIP tickets can be purchased until 11:00 AM on the 18th. I hope to see you there!
In addition to Hanako-san shifting continents, there was lots of other stuff going on this week including a surprising number of idols re-emerging in various forms so be sure to read all the way down to the Oshifound Corner.
PassCode sounds off.
Here is your occasional reminder that Pupa!! is well worth paying attention to.

Thank you for this post.
Yes Swancry (Hikage/Shida) is the best thing on the planet. She is a truly wonderful person and artist.
Also Arima Emily is the warrior queen (especially on the Budokan Bluray). So cool.
