Wait. We got a Sakamichi group singing with Sesame Street muppets. Singing Sakamoto Kyu’s hit song 「上お向いて歩こう」or known in the west as “Sukiyaki.” Is this some kind of joke? Well it is April Fool’s day.
But this isn’t any joke. It’s Hinatazaka46 with Elmo, Judy, and Cookie Monster! Nice. I’m enjoying it. You do the same.

Doesn’t it seem like everyone is trying to do Wordle? I guess so!
Seems I’ve already posted a Wordle ripoff, Worldle. Here’s a move one.
The first one I did (todays’) was Sean of the Dead, err… Shaun of the Dead! Spoiler alert!
Actually, this is the second MV for Nogizaka46’s 29th single, “Actually…” It is released today, but this MV has only recently just come out on Sunday. If you buy the single, you’ll find another version — a 20 minute dramatic version. It was all drama to get us here. Ten years and they finally got some drama in the form of their latest recruits, 5期生.
So the original center for this single was to be one of their newest members, Nakanishi Aruno, who just joined at the start of the year. But then she was cancelled. In reality, some of her past social media posts came to light. They were pretty awful to say. Eventually, she had to go on hiatus to hide from the backlash against her.
This was at the start of the month. They had filmed the music video before then. And burned the CDs already. So therefore there are two versions for the title song.
It will be a while for me to get the CDs. I’m sore over how this release went down. Also, a bit skeptical of Nakanishi and 5th Gen. I do like the song, and I still love the group. Weirdly, I can’t wait to get the CDs in my hand.

It wasn’t too long ago that I had asked what happened to the movie reviews on this blog. Strangely enough that very weekend I finally watched Spider-Man: No Way Home in the theaters. That was at the end of January a month or so ago, and still no review.
Well, today I remembered that I had a review of Spider-Man to write.
It’s been a long time so I don’t really remember the film. Was it good? I was glad to see the return of all the Spider-Men, Tobey and Andrew. I thought they still had too many villains. Even now I don’t remember why they were there. Do you? If you do, please tell me.
3 of 5 stars.
Nogizaka46’s birthday is celebrated on the 22nd of February in celebration of the release of their first single. They’ve reached their 10th Birthday! Happy birthday!
Today’s link is to their current schedule for the ongoing 46 Hour Television. We’re half way through, but if you want to find out what’s coming up, then you can click the link. We’re waiting for the Sports Day Festival and for the introduction of 5th Gen and the debut of their latest single tomorrow.
So yeah. I really didn’t follow up on this. Again I am missing Day 3 and Day 4. It’s more of the same. She’s eating. She’s pooping. She’s doing more than she’s done before.
You see, I’ve taken care of her before. The last time she barely ate anything. It took a few days, and after a bit I had to feed her some rice so that she would eat. Since she wasn’t eating. She wasn’t doing her business. I was worried.
This time she’s more normal. I just think it’s been more fun this time. I’ve left her to wander the house. There’s only a day left one more until the masters come home.
If you like Wordle, and if you are a whiz at geography, then give today’s link a try. I have yet to get any one correct. I am not a whiz in geography. Who knew?
