Isn’t the woman who played Rita dead? And the yellow ranger dead? And the green ranger dead? And the blue ranger refusing to do any power ranger media?
Yes, although the season 1 Rita was taken directly from the Japanese version of the show and dubbed over by an American voice actor who is still alive (but likely retired).
代々墓 (だいだいばか): An ancestral grave
One of my Japanese teachers pointed out that it's often used in sentences like OO家族代々墓, which makes it sound like " the OO family are massive idiots.
I also thought 五十五 sounded funny when I first learned it, because I thought it was supposed to be pronounced like "go Jew go".
It probably doesn't make any sense noq considering how quickly internet language changes, but I learned the word for ambulance (救急車 きゅうきゅうしゃ) around 15 years ago, and at the time QQ meant crying, and was used to call people emotional crybabies. It reminded of the term "wahmbulance" which people would use when someone is being whiny.
I've been a fan of eurobeat of all eras for 20 years. I currently live in Japan, so I'm making the most of the year I have left here by tracking down as many of the older releases as I can while I can get them cheap.
MUFJ also has decent online banking and is one of the few banks that offer debit cards.
Yes, we should have expected a price rise when we've had some of the worst inflation in modern history this decade, but there's also the declining yen. One dollar was worth 114 yen the week the Switch launched. It is currently worth around 145 yen. The British pound also increased from 140 yen to 184 yen, and the Euro from around 122 yen to around 160 yen. That's around a 30% increase for all three currencies, which for the UK at least is almost enough to offset inflation.
Obviously the yen could possibly quickly recover in the next few years, but I don't think inflation is the only thing you should consider if you're going to talk about how fair the price is in western markets.
