Sweet n’ steamy: Tokyo’s best yakiimo

Sweet n’ steamy: Tokyo’s best yakiimo

Yakiimo is one of the cheat codes to enjoying the cold season in Japan. You buy the spud hot, hold it like a hand warmer, peel back the skin as you walk, and suddenly the commute feels romantic. And just to be clear: these are not sweet potatoes as you might know them. Sweet potatoes – the orange Western kind – have been riding the superfood train for the last decade. While no one is holding them up to kale, they’ve become the ‘good snack’ people reach for when they want something that feels clean and balanced. Japanese yakiimo play a totally different role. One bite in and you’ll be looking around like, ‘I can’t believe it’s not butter’ – but for yakiimo – because it tastes like they’ve dipped it in honey. Only to find the sweetness is allllllllll natural. These delights are slow-roasted until the starches turn to sugar and the inside goes gooey. The best ones don’t taste healthy – more like a dessert that happened by accident: honeyed, jammy, sometimes pudding-soft, sometimes fluffy like steam. The good shops obsess over the details: potato variety, how long it’s been rested, how low the heat goes, and whether it’s roasted in a pot, on stones or in some custom kiln setup. That’s why two sweet potatoes can taste like two different planets. There’s a method to yakiimo enjoyment. Sure, you can grab one at your local grocery store, or maybe Donki, and it’ll still hit. But if you’re interested in seeing the full depth of how a sweet potato can rock your world on its own, no topp

2026年、運気アップに訪れたい占い師5人

タイムアウト東京 > Things To Do >2026年、運気アップに訪れたい占い師5人 街を歩いていると、占いの看板を見かけたことがあるだろう。ビーズのカーテンの向こうで、ベールをかぶった占い師が水晶玉に手をかざす光景は記号としてお馴染みだが、実際に中に入ったことがあるかはまた別の話だ。 ヨーロッパで占いといえば、深夜のコマーシャルや電話占い、ショッピングモールの店頭や観光地に置かれた看板が思い浮かぶ。また、オンライン鑑定やTikTokのタロット占いから、出生時間を伝えないと相手にしてくれない人まで、占いや霊能者に対するイメージはゆがんでいる。信じる人もいれば信じない人もいて、大多数はどちらでもないだろう。 日本では伝統の重みか、あるいはスピリチュアルな世界が日常生活に深く根付いているせいか、占いはより身近なものだ。今日では、タブレットで占い師を選べるチェーン店の「占いクリニック」から、お守りや何十年も前の道具がずらりと並ぶ個人店まで、あらゆる占い師がいる。 東京にも占いの館はあまたあるが、ここでは独自のスタイルや背景を持ち、人生の奥底を読み解いてくれる5人の占い師を、タイムアウト東京英語版のスタッフライターが紹介する。 関連記事 『2025年を代表するベスト怪談師5選』
Kuribocchi Christmas: how to do Tokyo solo

Kuribocchi Christmas: how to do Tokyo solo

It’s Christmas Eve, which in most of the West means family chaos, ugly jumpers and eating until you can’t move. In Japan, the day takes on a totally different form. Christmas here is hyper-aesthetic, and (for better or worse) coded as couple territory – rushing for reservations, gift shopping, illuminations, and the unspoken vibe that you’re supposed to have someone’s hand in yours. And if you don’t? You are knighted: kuribocchi (single on Christmas) The word gets thrown around like a sad punchline, but this is a city built for solo missions: one-person yakiniku, counter seats, cinemas where no one cares if you nod off. 
 So if you’re single, far from home, newly dumped or just not in the mood for matching Santa hats, here’s a kuribocchi guide that treats being alone like the event that it is, and not a penalty.

Between stars and side streets: meet five fortune tellers in Tokyo

Between stars and side streets: meet five fortune tellers in Tokyo

‘Five dollars for a palm reading.’ It’s a sign most of us have walked past at least once. If you’re from a major city – or have ever visited one – the neon promise of a shawl-draped psychic behind a beaded curtain isn’t exactly groundbreaking. Whether you’ve ever actually gone inside is another story. In the West, fortune-telling comes with late-night commercials, hotline psychics, strip-mall storefronts, and the kind of tourist-area signage that promises destiny for a flat fee. Add Etsy witches, TikTok tarot and that one friend who refuses to speak to you until you tell her your exact birth minute, and the whole image of psychics and mediums has been stretched so far it barely shocks anyone anymore. Some people believe, some don’t, most hover in the ‘why not?’ middle. Maybe it’s the weight of tradition, maybe it’s how spirituality still threads through the everyday, but the atmosphere around fortune-telling in Japan feels less performative and more… lived-in. It’s visible without being loud. Small booths tucked inside stations. Upstairs rooms above drugstores. Kaleido-coloured parlours wedged between convenience stores. And then there’s the deeper side; the long history of mediums, diviners and spiritual workers who once advised everyone from farmers to feudal leaders. Like many other traditional aspects in Japan, this presence never really disappeared. It’s just adapted to the cities around it. Today, you’ll find everything from chain-run ‘fortune clinics’ where you pick yo
19 best Halloween events and parties in Tokyo

19 best Halloween events and parties in Tokyo

Halloween has come a long way from its origins in ancient Celtic harvest festivals. These days it's more about looking as OTT as possible, a custom that was popularised in the US in the early 1900s. In Japan, too, there is none of the doom and gloom of the holiday's historical association with death, which may have something to do with the fact that the local celebration first made waves at Tokyo Disneyland. We're looking forward to a series of Halloween events on October 31, as well as the days leading up to it. Whatever you decide, don't let your costume go to waste – dress up for some of Tokyo's most spectacular Halloween parties. RECOMMENDED: 6 best Halloween events at theme parks in Japan
Horror field guide: 4 creepy day trips from Tokyo

Horror field guide: 4 creepy day trips from Tokyo

Within a few hours of Tokyo, there’s a handful of places that feel almost as though they’ve been pulled from a survival-horror game: crumbling roadside museums full of dolls, train stations that sink into the earth, temples guarded by disembodied hands, and uncanny sculpture parks. Halloween doesn’t have to mean fishnets and tequila shots. You can get in the spirit by doing what Japan does best – leaning into quiet dread. A kind of slow, creeping unease that seeps in while you’re standing alone in a tunnel or staring at a field of stone faces that all seem to be watching you. Think of it as celebrating Halloween like you’re the main character in your own horror RPG.RECOMMENDED: 6 best Halloween events at theme parks in Japan

From bougie to brokie: where to grab your Halloween costume in Tokyo

Halloween in Tokyo has come a long way from its cute, imported origins. What began as a marketing stunt at Harajuku’s Kiddy Land and then became an excuse for themed lessons and candy in Eikaiwa classrooms has evolved into an all-night costume arms race. Following the trick-or-treat to thirst-trap pipeline, Halloween in Japan is now, like everywhere else, the kind of day where someone’s glued a latex horn to their forehead and another’s wearing a ¥200,000 catsuit – albeit for the runways of Shibuya Crossing. Some make theirs from scratch, others rely on Daiso, but you can count on every look being a mix of hilarious, horny and weirdly professional. This is, after all, one of the world’s cosplay capitals. Tokyo does Halloween like it does everything else: with too much detail, a bit of fetish, and a sense of hum. RECOMMENDED: 4 best stores in Tokyo for vintage anime T-shirts

11 upcoming nightlife events and parties in and around Tokyo

Tokyo’s nights never sit still. One day it’s a fashion pop-up with free drinks, the next it’s a basement rave that feels like it might not end until the lights come on. The city’s nightlife is messy, stylish and impossible to keep up with, but that’s part of the pull. Every weekend there’s another room packed with fashion kids, DJs, and strangers you only think you’ll never see again. So forget the konbini beers – there’s too much happening out there. Club nights, live shows, art parties, collaborations that only last a few hours before they disappear into memory. It’s sweaty, chaotic, and can sometimes be overwhelming, but always worth leaving your comfort zone for. This list is your shortcut: the events that matter right now, the ones you’ll regret missing when everyone else is talking about them on Monday.RECOMMENDED: Your ultimate round-the-clock guide to the capital
Dragged out: A guide to Tokyo’s last smoking holdouts

Dragged out: A guide to Tokyo’s last smoking holdouts

We don’t encourage smoking – let’s get that out of the way. But like with wine or whiskey, vices deserve a proper setting. If you’re going to light up, you should at least do it somewhere with soul. Think of this list as your map to those increasingly rare corners of Tokyo where the cigarette hasn’t been fully exiled. And if you’re smoke-free? You can consider it a warning of which doors not to walk through. Tokyo is a place where nostalgia clings like cigarette haze to the wood of Showa-era counters. Imagine to yourself: a lone salaryman pushes into a tiny izakaya, suit dripping from the storms of typhoon season, umbrella shaking off the gutter’s downpour. He orders a beer, slides a Marlboro from the pack, and leans into the warm chaos of the crowd. That’s the world we’re chasing here – kissaten with nicotine-stained walls, bars where the ashtrays come complimentary, izakayas where the smoke curls into the paper lantern light. It’s less about the cigarette itself and more about atmosphere: dim wood counters, flickering lanterns, and the low buzz of conversations that never seem to end. These places carry the romance of another time, when smoke was a part of the architecture of a night out.
 Just like everywhere else in the world, Tokyo’s relationship with smoking is changing fast, with non-smoking areas and establishments multiplying each year. But for those who still seek that cinematic drag, these spots remain. Step inside, order something strong, and let the smoke hang he
How to live out your Ai Yazawa fantasy in Tokyo

How to live out your Ai Yazawa fantasy in Tokyo

A true cultural phenomenon in the late ’90s and early 2000s, Ai Yazawa’s manga built a universe where fashion is a second language and heartbreak is always waiting just past the train tracks. Nana, Paradise Kiss and Neighborhood Story captured Tokyo in a way that made every café, side street and cigarette feel cinematic. Yazawa’s characters drift between joy and despair, dressed in Vivienne tartan and strawberry-pink frills, moving through the city with the kind of style that makes even loneliness look iconic. The stories remain unfinished on the page, but Tokyo itself still holds fragments of Yazawa’s world. Some of these places are semi-official ‘pilgrimage’ spots, others just feel uncannily like her panels come to life. For anyone still chasing that Yazawa mood – whether you’re a devoted fan of Nana or simply drawn to her sharp take on youth and fashion – these six locations will pull you right into the frame.RECOMMENDED: The coolest neighbourhoods in Tokyo

Alley 108

Alley 108

Alley 108 is a three-day immersive rave and art project taking over the backstreets of Shibuya Center Gai as part of Dig Shibuya 2026. What happens if you treat Shibuya like a set, and write a future for it? One where redevelopment keeps swallowing the city until there’s just a single ‘empty block’ left. They’re building that block in real life, closing off an alley infamous among former FamilyMart partiers and turning it into a contained little dystopian world.In this world there are ‘residents’ roaming around in looks created by local up-and-coming designers, pulling you into a betsu-sekai narrative. The line-up is huge, pulling in underground artists, collectives, DJs and live acts across scenes, plus exhibitions and a winter market that’s connected to the current culture and not just a merch table. The name 108 nods to the 108 earthly desires, the messy human impulses that places like Shibuya are built on in the first place, and that’s the point of the whole thing.Shibuya keeps changing, but the urge that makes people gather, flex, drift, chase sound and get lost in a crowd doesn’t disappear. Alley 108 is trying to capture that feeling and push it forward, like a street from the future that still has dirt under its nails.Tickets are now on sale, and the pricing is pretty friendly for something this stacked: ¥7,000 gets you a 3-day pass (with a zine and keychain), or you can dip in for Sunday-only from ¥500–¥3,000 depending on your age and time slot. The event runs Feb 13–
Red Winter Exhibition

Red Winter Exhibition

Con_ gallery is currently showing ‘Red Winter’, a solo exhibition by Seoul-based artist Koesy. Self-taught and originally rooted in digital 3D, Koesy now works mainly in sculpture; making these alien-like figures that feel like they’ve crossed over from the screen into real weight and presence. The works don’t try to be ‘explained’; they sit there like characters mid-mutation, quiet but kind of confrontational. They’re often larger than you expect, with a physical closeness that makes you aware of your own body in the room. There’s a push-pull to them: soft-looking surfaces with an underlying unease, like something tender that still isn’t safe to touch. Koesy avoids locking the pieces into a clean narrative, so the story lands on you through mood – texture, silence, discomfort, and whatever your brain starts filling in. ‘Red Winter’ comes from that feeling of carrying an internal coldness regardless of the season outside, and the show holds onto that same weird temperature.
Bask002

Bask002

Bask is an event that started last year as a one-night experiment: electronic and experimental music staged to become its own environment. Now it’s back for a second edition, taking over the WPÜ gallery hotel in Shinjuku. Staying true to its name, the setup is intentionally hazy. Smoke, low visibility, and a central installation set up so the usual ‘artist here, audience there’ feeling starts to dissolve. Jan Urila Sas performs live, bringing his signature dense, noisy textures and steel-instrument approach. Akane, a Kyoto-based DJ, is on the decks, and Kwaku Mitsuhiro, Bask’s organiser, runs a hybrid set that moves between club logic and more experimental listening. The installation is by Daitetsu Suga, setting the visuals of the room and giving the night its shape.
Higan Tokyo

Higan Tokyo

Koenji is infamous for vintage, but if you don’t know where to go, you risk getting hit with tourist gentrification – the kind where you end up in a ‘manufactured vintage’ shop selling the same Hawaiian shirt and Harvard sweater, straight out of some factory loop. And even if you dodge that, you might still walk out with something you could’ve grabbed at a Salvation Army back home for half the price. A good Koenji shopping day takes a little searching, or being in the know – so let us put you on. Higan sits right on Koenji’s main shopping street, but it’ll take you down a fashion rabbit hole to Wonderland… except it’s up, because the store is on the second floor. It’s one of the most fun racks in the city. The vintage selection is wild, the new-brand picks are chosen impeccably, and the staff are dressed like they should be on stage – in a ‘why do you look like a rock legend on a Tuesday afternoon?’ way. They carry Japanese brands like Melem, Doublet, Facetasm, Kidill and Fumito Ganryu alongside their vintage, and they take fashion-as-whimsy seriously. Even the interior plays into it: there’s a fur room where the walls are lined with different pelts from ceiling to floor, like you’ve stepped into the mind of the stylish Mad Hatter. Higan is Koenji taste with main character styling. The selection is genuinely good, they really don’t sell one questionable item. This is fashion as play, pushed right to the edge without slipping too much into costume. It’s normal to see something
Fullhouse x Amapinight: Christmas Party Special

Fullhouse x Amapinight: Christmas Party Special

Santa’s getting spicy. Two crews meet in a room built for movement, sweat and low ceilings, just right for burning off Christmas dinner. Amapiano rhythms sit next to dancehall, jungle and club edits, pulled together by Fullhouse and Amapinight’s shared taste. The line-up keeps things rotating, bodies stay active and the floor fills early, ensuring a night that might just land you on next year's naughty list. 
Pink Noise DX

Pink Noise DX

Pink Noise expands into a larger format for its DX edition, moving from it’s origins at Enter Shibuya to mega club Zero Tokyo. Led by Fukuoka-pop-princess Manon, the event brings together a cross-section of artists operating between club culture, internet-born sounds and contemporary pop-adjacent experimentation. Shinichi Osawa anchors the night alongside Manon, with ecec, N², Starkids, hirihiri, sysmo and many more shaping the arc across rooms. 
Pat Market Flea Market

Pat Market Flea Market

Pat Market is one of Harajuku’s most iconic select and archive stores, known for shaping how Tokyo’s youth actually dress. Their Ikebukuro location focuses on womenswear – a curated mix that spans Tokyo girl, e-girl, cyber girl, hime gyaru and a touch of punk attitude. For two days, they’re turning the space into a flea market, bringing some of the city’s best-dressed girls to sell from their own closets. Expect racks packed with individuality and the kind of finds that disappear in minutes.
Evil Spa 9

Evil Spa 9

Part gig, part flea market, Spa of Evil is a yearly drop-in for anyone orbiting Tokyo’s punk, noise and chaos-adjacent scenes. A mix of bands, DJs, underground brands and general unhinged energy, the event skips polish in favour of raw attitude. Whether you're there to buy some alternative threads, see someone scream into a mic or just stare at the crowd, Spa of Evil continues to be one of the only places where all that happens at once.
Curry Up New Location and Pop-up

Curry Up New Location and Pop-up

Curry Up is Ura-Hara legend Nigo’s curry shop, blending Japanese comfort food with the clean design and street sensibility that runs through everything he touches. It’s casual but unmistakably Human Made. To celebrate the opening of its new Shibuya Parco location which will be the only location to serve a pork-katsu dish, Curry Up is throwing a three day pop-up shop at the new venue. The pop up will feature an exclusive lineup of collab items produced between Human Made, Curry Up and the graphic artist Verdy guests can try the shop’s four curry styles before the official launch. Expect a crowd that’s there for both the food and the scene – simple, fun, and very Tokyo.
Tokyo Bay Tattoo Festival

Tokyo Bay Tattoo Festival

Japan’s relationship with tattoos has always been an interesting one. Both hailed and hated, tattoos sit in a strange middle ground here – celebrated for their artistry yet still carrying the residue of taboo. With a younger generation growing up on street culture and global references, that perception is slowly changing. More and more Gen Z Japanese are getting inked, and the city is turning out a new wave of artists working across every style imaginable – not just irezumi, the traditional Japanese form, but blackwork, realism, colour, and experimental hybrids that don’t belong to any school. The Tokyo Bay Tattoo Festival returns this year for its second edition in Kisarazu, Chiba. The international tattoo convention brings together artists from Japan and abroad across a range of genres and styles, showcasing their work live over three days. Visitors can watch tattoos being done on the spot, book sessions directly with artists and experience the craftsmanship up close. Beyond tattooing, there’s music, dance performances, contests and installations that tie the event closer to Japan’s broader art and nightlife scene. It’s not just for tattoo enthusiasts – anyone interested in art, culture or body expression will find something to connect with.
Mountain Fortress

Mountain Fortress

Amorphia Tokyo teams up with illustrators Naka Renya and Qingyi for Mountain Fortress at Such As Gallery in Shimokitazawa. Amorphia keeps to its precise, conceptual approach to clothing. Naka’s visuals hit like the internet mid-glitch – bright, saturated, full of chaos – while Qingyi works in saturated, surreal digital imagery that bends form and space. The show includes a small capsule of shirts, caps and bags printed with new artwork made for the exhibition, shown alongside the original pieces in the same room. Everything is made to order and available only during the run.
Department H

Department H

Department H has held Tokyo’s fetish line for decades. The Halloween edition makes the Showa cabaret setting feel like the city’s strangest catwalk, with latex, leather, drag and performance art spinning around from cieling to stage and a market for gear. Costume effort gets rewarded at the door. If you look regular, budget more. If you’ve planned your outfit for a week, the entrance staff will notice. The regulars include icons, lifers, and first-timers who finally worked up the courage to go. It’s welcoming, it’s theatrical, and it runs late enough to feel like a secret even when the room is full.

Combos meet calories in this new collaboration by McDonald’s and Street Fighter

Combos meet calories in this new collaboration by McDonald’s and Street Fighter

In a move you never expected, McDonald’s Japan and Street Fighter literally cross worlds with the ‘Street Burgers’ line-up dropping today (October 22), pulling familiar faces from Capcom’s universe into fast-food form. Ryu gets the burnt-garlic mayo egg teriyaki treatment, Chun-Li turns into a yurinchi-style chicken burger, and Ken plays the role he always has: excessive, triple-cheesed and golden. Each item lands in limited packaging that looks more like arcade signage than meal branding, while McFizz cups show Ryu and Ken mid-Hadoken. undefinedundefined It’s a collaboration that makes sense in the way Japan often does – nostalgia and convenience culture colliding in a perfectly designed impulse purchase. The tie-in extends beyond the counter too; players of Street Fighter 6 can unlock in-game bonuses connected to the campaign, making it one of those crossovers that bleeds through reality just enough to feel surreal. McDonald’s commercials have leaned into that, showing burgers exploding like special moves, filmed with the same confidence as a Capcom trailer. The collab runs nationwide starting October 22 2025, for a limited period. It’s easy to dismiss this kind of marketing as novelty, but Japan has turned novelty into an art form – knowing that a moment of play, no matter how commercial, still carries cultural weight.  The ‘Street Burgers’ collab is available at McDonald’s outlets nationwide.

東京で矢沢あいの作品世界を体験するための6の方法

東京で矢沢あいの作品世界を体験するための6の方法

1990年代後半から2000年代初頭にかけて、矢沢あいの漫画は真の文化現象だった。彼女は、ファッションを「第二の言語」として操り、失恋が常に線路の向こう側で待ち構えているかのような独特の世界観を構築。『NANA』『Paradise Kiss』『ご近所物語』では、東京という都市のカフェも裏通りも一本のたばこまでもが、映画のワンシーンに見えるように切り取った。 そして、矢沢が描いたキャラクターたちは、「ヴィヴィアン」のタータンやイチゴ色のフリルに身を包み、喜びと絶望の間を漂いながら、孤独さえもスタイルとして昇華するかのように街を歩く。 紙面上では未完のまま止まっている物語もあるが、この街・東京では、その間も矢沢の世界の断片が息づいている。中には「聖地巡礼」として知られる場所もあれば、彼女の描く一コマがそのまま現実になったかのような場所もある。 『NANA』の熱心なファンであれ、あるいは矢沢の鋭い若者観やファッション感覚に引かれる者であれ、これら6つのスポットは、彼女の世界のフレームの中へと引き込んでくれるだろう。 多摩川沿いを「ホット・ガール・ウォーク」する Photo: Jasmina Mitrovic 多摩川には、一度の夕暮れの間にロマンチックにもメランコリックにも揺れ動く空気が漂い、マジックアワーの水面には郊外の静かな輪郭と、遠くに広がるスカイラインの両方が映り込む。 ここでは、自分自身が変化の途上にいる登場人物であるかのように感じられる。選択のはざまに立ち、昨夜の会話を頭の中で繰り返したり、ノートに歌詞の断片を描きつけたりする。ギターを手にしたカップルが歩き、ランナーとすれ違う。気付けばその光景全体が、まるで矢沢の漫画の一場面を現実に重ね合わせたかのように見えてくるに違いない。 「Jackson Hole」のバーガーに時間を忘れる Photo: Jasmina Mitrovic 『NANA』のファンにとって、「Jackson Hole」はハンバーガーショップではなく、むしろ巡礼地である。調布にあるこの居心地のよい店は、作品に組み込まれており、漫画の世界から現実へワープできる数少ない場所の一つだ。 ハンバーガーを注文し、ボックス席に腰を下ろせば、目の前のテーブル越しにハチや章司が座っている姿が目に浮かぶ。学校の課題について語り合ったり、複雑な恋模様を解きほぐしたりしているかもしれない。料理そのものは純粋なアメリカンだが、そこに漂う響く空気は間違いなく矢沢の世界そのものだろう。 下北沢でおそろいのコップを探す Photo: Jasmina Mitrovic 下北沢に点在する古着店やビンテージショップは、矢沢の漫画世界に思いをはせるためにあるかのように思える。「東京レトロa.m.a.store」では、ハチらしさがぎゅっと詰まったイチゴ模様のガラスのコップを手に入れたり、彼女がインテリアの仕事をしていた頃を思わせるスタイリッシュな家具の中を歩き回ったりできる。 この街のキッチュとストリートウエアの鋭さが混ざり合う空気感は、矢沢作品の登場人物たちを忘れがたくしているあの絶妙な緊張感そのものであり、どの店も新しいサブプロット(副次的な筋書き)が生まれそうな気配をまとっている。  「喫茶小雪」でゆったりとした時間を過ごす Photo: Jasmina Mitrovic 「喫茶小雪」は、まるで矢沢のヒロインのためにスケッチされ、生まれたかのようなカフェだ。昭和の趣に加え、繊細なイチゴケーキも楽しめ、懐かしさと2000年代のガーリーカルチャー
One Piece goes Hysteric

One Piece goes Hysteric

Hysteric Glamour isn’t new to flipping cultural icons, but this time they’re dragging the women of One Piece through their rock’n’roll-pin-up lens. Nami, Robin, Boa Hancock and Vivi show up across tees, denim and jackets, mashed with Hysteric’s usual Americana graphics and sleazy-retro attitude.
 Instead of cosplay-adjacent iconography, this collab feels more like bootleg streetwear you’d want to thrift and flex. It leans hard into what’s given Hysteric its name: loud prints and irreverent sex appeal. So you can wipe away worries of sifting through a back-alley rack in Shibuya next to vintage Marlboro jackets and fake Metallica tees. Photo: Hysteric Glamour x One Piece The line-up is lean but punchy: four graphic T-shirts, a mesh cap, an open-collar shirt, and a reversible sukajan bomber jacket with Nami embroidered on one side and all-over artwork on the other. Prices run from ¥15,400 for tees up to ¥132,000 for the sukajan – squarely in Hysteric’s usual range.
