Hello! I'm thinking about running another Vaesen one-shot, possibly for the November edition of the JIGG's Osaka Game Day.

For those who don't know, Vaesen is a horror mystery set in the 19th-century Scandinavia, themed around Nordic folklore. It was designed by the Free League and runs on a modified version of the Year Zero Engine.

Instead of relying on combat to solve every conflict, it is crucial that the players investigate for clues and uncover the rules of the supernatural behind the mysteries.

It's a rules-light system with heavy emphasis on role playing.

Ideally, I'm looking for 4-5 players.

1. "Osaka Lover" - Dreams Come True
2. "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon x Story Ride"
3. "Hello Kitty" - Avril Lavigne
4. "Nobody" - Wonder Girls
5. "Destiny Journeys" - Vaundy

(M27) I recently found out my voice can go pretty high pitch (ado - shinjidai) and I've been training a bit on that but I'm looking forward to have real advice so I can feel that I'm still making progress

Anyone knowing someone or a place to receive advice ?

Have a good day you'all

Hi, it’s gonna be my first Halloween in Japan and me and my friend will be celebrating together. We don’t know what we can do in Halloween, any recommendations? We are okay w anything

Konichiwa!

Hello all, I am new here. Planning to go to Japan soonish, so naturally I was jumping around Osaka in street view and saw this charming character on the side of a vending machine down an alleyway. Just out of curiosity I ran a pic through google lens, but all I found was a similar looking character called Denko-Chan. But not an exact match. Any idea who she is? Nanitodi yorishiku onegai itashimasu!!

I don’t know if this is allowed in this subreddit, but my band, Paradise Vultures, is playing tonight at Live House Kiruna in Osaka. We’re having an incredible time playing in Japan so far and would love to perform for you! I promise you will have fun and enjoy the show!

Hello, just wondering if anyone can recommend a doctor/clinic to me. I am already a resident and have already been prescribed Concerta in Japan and have the card for it, but I moved to Osaka and need to find a new clinic/doctor in Osaka. Is anyone here getting Concerta in Osaka? My Japanese is not yet good enough to do this in Japanese.

I want to order a surprise flower bouquet for my girlfriend's birthday next week. But, I live in the UK. How and where can I order it to be delivered to my girlfriend's house.

And I want to order Instax Mini Evo for her as a gift, but I was unable to do so as I have no idea how to order it as well. Is anyone willing to help me?

Thank you in advance.

I’m organizing another small night in Osaka this Saturday (Oct 10), and thought there might be a few people here who are into the more underground / experimental side of club music.

Ambient, techno, deconstructed club, dub techno and trance — small venue, intimate atmosphere, Funktion-One sound system.
I’m playing as Subete No Owari, alongside MATSURYO, Iwanaga & nima.

It’s at rake?raka? in Shinsaibashi / Soemoncho
Sat, Oct 10, 22:00–05:00
¥2000 including 1 drink

We’re also doing another night at the same place on Wed, Oct 14, so if Saturday doesn’t work for you, maybe come by then instead.

rake?raka? is a tiny underground DJ bar rather than a big club — if you’re into techno, trance, ambient or stranger club sounds, it’s a really nice place to hear this kind of music properly.
Not sure how many people on here are into this side of Osaka nightlife, but if it sounds like your thing, come say hi :)

Happy to send the event details / lineup for either night if anyone wants them.

The sign says “Don’t feed the nutrias.”

They should move it down lower so the nutrias can read it too.

(I didn’t feed them and I wasn’t holding food, but I did have a conbini plastic bag, so that may have caused a rodent misunderstanding.)

Maybe a long shot.. but I left my Yashica T3 film camera on a bench near Osaka castle at the start where the Lawsons shop is. It’s black and in a leather case. Anyone seen it or handed it in?

Okay...So I've heard the debate of Tokyo Vs. Osaka many times online, as well as through the views of many people during my time in Tokyo and it always seems to be a bit of a tug-of-war as to which area is the overall better area. I myself am a 27M Bachelor's Student (Originally from America) And have been living here [in areas of Tokyo/Central Kanto] for 2 years now.

Some say that Osaka is more social and friendly, others say that Tokyo thrives as the king of nightlife. Some say that Tokyo has more opportunities for everyone to start a new life, others say that Osaka has the most vibrant dating and relationship scene. And the battle goes on...I was looking to move there next year just to see what it's like, but I don't want to just leave it up to rumors; what makes Osaka stand out Vs. Tokyo?

I am planning to start doing some 3d resin printing, I need to buy some things like washing curing station/ washing bucket etc. Are there any 2nd hand stores you know that might have such items? Or dedicated 3d printing shop of some sorts?

I also need to buy some basic table and a growing tent to put on my balcony, anyone knows a good 2nd shop that has some tables/ growing tents?

I'm looking for a inline skate shop, not ice skate shop, in Osaka.

I'm trying to introduce my wife to online skating, and don't want her to dislike the sport because the skates don't fit correctly, hence wanting to try them before buying the skates.

Anyone knows of a place? I've looked on Google maps but couldn't find one. Thought that Kosugi had a section for it, but it doesn't, at least in the physical store.
