    This is what started me on the long road to being the xijinpingist I am today. I was entranced by that show. Not the plot or the girl, but the backgrounds. The mundanity of Japan got me, and I heard it. I heard it, for the first time in my life. The call to adventure. I had to leave and go abroad, so I did. There was this one scene where she’s on the way out the door and stops in the inkan to tie her shoelaces and I don’t know what it was about it, but it just GOT me. I had to go there. And the generic 7-story box buildings, the concrete jungle, single trees poking out from a square hole in the sidewalk. Yes, I’m weird. I can still sing the theme song today, hora catch you catch you catch me catch me matte That was 1999. And today I’m waiting to process my immigration application. Cardcaptor Saukra is where it all started. That song makes my heart happy.

      Given your username I spent this whole comment expecting it to end with something like “when I arrived in Japan I found out it was actually pretty shit, which led me down a rabbit hole that turned me into a China stan instead”, so it’s a surprising but of course nice twist that you evidently liked Japan and are actually moving there. It’s nice when people like things!
