Who's the rapper/hip hop artist I kept seeing on billboards??
honestly that description fits kohh's whole aesthetic perfectly. the couch visual is from "let me know" off his album the lost boy, but if you were in shibuya during golden week there was also a smaller video loop playing at the tower records basement stage with a different angle of the same recording. imo his best track from that era is "fubu" but it didn't get the same billboard treatment
kohh's been doing that tower records takeover for a while, the couch visual is from "let me know" off his latest album "the lost boy". if you're around shibuya late at night you'll probably catch it on the big screens near the center gai crossing too. worth checking out his track "winners" if you want something with a harder beat
i think u mean kohh, he's been doing that tower records campaign since late feb. the couch clip is from "let me know" off "the loneliest" album. if u saw it at shibuya crossing you prob caught the digital billboard near starbucks, that thing runs his video on loop every few minutes. his flow on that track is way more melodic than his older stuff, worth digging into if u like that style

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.
