Anyone selling Mrs. Green Apple concert tickets?
tbh your best bet is checking ticket resale sites like ticketjam or viagogo, but be ready to pay a premium since this band sells out fast. the yokohama arena shows are usually packed, i caught them there last year and it was worth every yen. also try yahoo auctions japan if you can navigate the japanese, some fans list extras last minute
honestly, if you're not having luck online, try the physical ticket shops around shibuya or shinjuku. ticket counter in shibuya modi sometimes has last minute drops, and they're legit. also check twitter japanese resale hashtags like #グリーンアップルチケット or something similar, fans will post extras day of for face value if they can't go. just meet in person at the venue to avoid scams
check ticket board or even craigslist tokyo, but watch out for scalpers asking double face value. the fan club had a lottery system for these shows so a lot of resales will be marked up. also try lining up at yokohama arena day of, sometimes they release returned seats an hour before showtime
Where can I find crispy, pan-fried bacon similar to a certain international style?
if u have a costco membership the kirkland thick cut is the move, 4 packs of 500g for around 2500 yen and it crisps up proper in a cold pan. for smaller runs, precce in azabudai hills & the basement at isetan shinjuku both carry imported US & danish brands in the chilled case, just read the label for "thick cut" or "smoked" and not "loin". also worth knowing japanese bacon is often wet-cured so pat it dry before frying or it steams instead of crisping
kaldi coffee farm is hit or miss but their smoked bacon from denmark shows up pretty regular, the 200g pack runs about 600 yen. what actually works better for me is asking the butcher counter at peacock or life to slice the block bacon thick, like 5mm, they do it for free and it crisps way better than the pre-packed stuff. also fwiw cheap bacon crisps faster, the fatty supermarket kind at 300 yen a pack works fine if u cook it from cold in a dry pan and pour off the fat as it renders.
tbh the gyomu super store brand bacon is surprisingly decent for crisping up, its not thick cut but if you cook it low and slow it gets pretty crunchy. the key is the dry cure vs wet cure thing, wet cure steams. also check hanamasa if you have one nearby, they sell big packs of american style bacon thats actually smoked and firm.
