Japanese Twitter users are noting that the decision to replace the iconic Twitter brand name with the letter "X" could turn Twitter Japan into "X Japan." It's a name that has been used for decades by one of Japan's most famous rock bands.

This is the preview for The Exit 8, an upcoming PC game about being trapped in a Japanese metro station and having no idea how to find an exit: "You are trapped in an endless underground passageway. Take a good look around and find a way to escape."

America's newest high speed rail line has opened in Florida. It travels at a speed of up to 120 mph (201 km/h), slightly slower than the 130mph (210km/h) operating speed of the earliest series of Japanese bullet trains that went into service 59 years ago.

Ichiro went to Hokkaido's Asahikawa Higashi High School to give its baseball team some pointers. One of his demonstration hits went over a protective net and into a classroom window, 130 meters (426 feet) away.

Thread: Political posters in Tokyo's crazy gubernatorial election. (1) Let's start with one of the posters for Kawai Yusuke, a perennial candidate known for cosplaying as the Joker. Here he's cosplaying as the Mask and advocating polygamy to solve Japan's declining birthrate.

Popular YouTuber Fidias (2.37 million subscribers) has uploaded a "I Travelled Across Japan For Free" video. How'd he do it? Simple: by illegally boarding trains without a ticket, hiding in the train toilet, and running when conductors tried to detain him.

The Gundam drone show in Yokohama included a recreation of the famous scene in which Amuro Ray and Char Aznable bumped helmets. Some fans are interpreting this as a nod to fujoshi who have created so much "Charmuro" fan fiction over the years.

It is very sad to hear about the passing of Akira Toriyama, an absolute legend in the world of manga, anime, and video games. I will always treasure my childhood memories of playing Chrono Trigger on SNES. x.com/DB_official_en…
