How do I go about placing advertising posters?
one thing nobody mentioned is that some coffee shops and record stores in places like koenji or shimokitazawa let you put up flyers in their window for free, just gotta ask the staff nicely and they usually say yes if it's not too corporate looking
fwiw the poster stands near train station exits are your best bet, like the ones by the ticket gates at Shinjuku or Shibuya. those are usually managed by a company called Toei or something similar, and they charge like a few thousand yen for a week. way more legit than just taping stuff to poles, and you don't gotta worry about cleanup or getting yelled at by some old guy. just google "poster rental tokyo station" and a few sites pop up with pricing and locations
Placing posters on public property like utility poles or street furniture is technically illegal in Tokyo, but enforcement is pretty inconsistent. If you want to do it legally, you need to rent space on private bulletin boards or poster stands, often found near train stations or convenience stores. Some neighborhoods have designated community posting boards managed by the local ward office, but they usually require a small fee and approval for content. If you just stick a few posters on construction site fences or empty storefronts, most people won't bother you as long as you keep it clean and take them down after a week or so.

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.
