Menhera Cut (メンヘラカット)

No, this is not about cutting yourself but a very specific style of bangs.

As mentioned in a previous article, japanese girls are very insecure about their round face shape and obscuring the flaws with hair helps them to feel better mentally. The bangs consists of thick straight front, that starts very far away from the natural hairline, combined with slightly curved Shokkaku sidelocks that end under the chin.

It is like if you would have a frame around your face.

Meet Japan’s Top 10 Subculture Illustrators!

Japan is known worldwide for its traditional design principles and zen-influenced aesthetics like “wabi-sabi,” but how about the up-and-coming illustrators of subculture Japan? Bright color palettes and a big emphasis on kawaii and youth culture help define some of the most prominent artists in Tokyo’s underground art scene. Find out more about the artists you see all over Harajuku and your favorite idols’ album covers!

1. Ai Madonna

Specializing in colorful-haired schoolgirls with sapphic overtones, Ai Madonna has become one of the most recognizable illustrators in the subculture scene thanks to her collaborations on t-shirts, pins, and other goods with idol group Dempagumi.inc. She’s also offered her talents to Bandjanaimon!, creating 4 different album jackets with the group. Her fascination with seishun (youth) is shared by many in Japan, tying her colorful imagery of school uniforms to good memories of feeling young and vibrant.

2. Omochi Alien

Omochi Alien is exactly what it sounds like– a squishy, sticky alien girl made of mochi. She is five years old and in the Hydrangea class at her kindergarten on the distant 135th planet “Ami.” Omochi Alien is a character created by an artist known as borutanext5, and may have caught her big break making cameos in Dempagumi.inc’s 2013 video for “DenDenPassion.” Recently, she can be spotted in plush form inside UFO catchers, so you can take home an Omochi Alien of your own! Don’t forget the Omochi Camera iOS app, where you can stamp the lumpy alien onto all your photos.

3. Kato Rei

With thin, crisp lines and a gentle, subdued color palette, Kato Rei’s illustrations are romantic in both feel and content— his pieces often include a speech bubble with some bittersweet musings, like “please make my heart beat faster this year, too” and “I closed my eyes as if I was kissing the crying sky.” Over the summer, he released his first art book, “girl friend,” and penned Amanatsu Yuzu’s solo jacket for Bandjanaimon’s newest single, “NaMiDa.” Check him out on tumblr, too!

4. Fukuzawa

A self-titled “music-style illustrator,” Fukuzawa enjoys participating in the music scene through their art, whether it’s illustrating bands’ music videos or doing live paints on stage right beside them. Recently, in collaboration with book/music/variety stores Tsutaya and Village Vanguard, Fukuzawa’s mildly melancholy work has been reaching a wider audience. Over the summer, they collaborated with t-shirt designer and sentimental poet Hajime Fantasy to create Mune Gyun, an illustrated poetic short story about one-sided love. The two embarked on a countrywide book tour featuring live paints by Fukuzawa and a line of poetry for each location by Hajime Fantasy.

5. Sekiya Yurie

With their trademark super-sparkly kira-kira eyes, Sekiya Yurie’s girls and critters started catching on in Harajuku and are now taking over Tokyo. Reminiscent of 90’s toys like Popples and Strawberry Shortcake, her saccharinely-sweet characters have been featured in mash-ups with PASSPO, Bandjanaimon!, Neon Genesis Evangelion, as well as on the covers of popular fashion magazines NYLON, with various fashion brands, and most recently, in UFO catchers as cute plush toys.

6. Nakamura Yusuke

Nakamura Yusuke is that type of artist you never knew you already knew, especially if you’ve ever listened an Asian Kung-Fu Generation CD. Aside from having designed countless album covers and other art for the band, Nakamura’s distinctly bold style of pure-white people and vivid animals in fantastical settings can be found on the covers of magazines and in print at fashionable book shops like Village Vanguard. He also created a series of illustrations with Big Comic Spirits, featuring a collaboration with AKB48’s Kashiwagi Yuki!

7. F*Kaori

Smooth, rounded lines, soft gradients, neon-pastels and sometimes really long legs are the trademarks of F*Kaori’s easy-on-the-eyes illustrations. There’s a lot of 90’s nostalgia to be found among tropical, summery themes and old-school magical girl anime tribute pieces, and F*Kaori often works closely with Shibuya’s most colorful fashion brand, galaxxxy. She also designed a super cute t-shirt for idol group Moso Calibration, which sold out in no time at Tokyo Idol Festival 2015.

8. Menhera-chan

Reflecting mental health issues (caused by the pressure of society) as a fashion statement have become somewhat of a trend among young subculture Japan, so of course even this trend has a cute mascot— Menhera-chan. Designed by illustrator and manga artist Ezaki Bisuko, Menhera-chan and her friends Sabukaru-chan and Yumekawa-chan are paired with dark imagery like pills, nooses and knives in a totally weird combination of kawaii (cute) and kowai (scary). Their goods feature all sorts of edgy messages, like the kanji for “death” and “suffering” pasted in cute pink hearts, or magical box cutter-wielding girls telling you you’re ugly and need to die. Everybody has an edgy teen phrase, right?

9. Saiaku Nana

If you happen to be in an edgy adult phrase, Saiaku Nana might be for you. Combining haphazard colors, lines, and patterns makes for a sort of cute-chaos with melancholy undertones, fit for depicting the emotions and suffering of girls. With an aesthetic reminiscent of Omori Seiko’s crazy “Kyurukyuru” music video, it’s not too surprising that they’ve collaborated on a t-shirt.

10. Sootome Keiko

Overexcited children! 1970’s Japan! Space travel? Welcome to the weird world of Sootome Keiko, bordering on the edge of kimokawaii (gross-cute). Working almost exclusively in paint, she’s known for creating lots of weird-looking kids in zany poses, especially gazing upwards into galaxies beyond. Her unique art makes a great addition to your LINE conversation in stamp form, and yes, even she has collaborated with Dempagumi.inc!

An incomplete list of some of my favourite early Pokemon game glitches

If you end an encounter in a draw, the game will behave as if you lost, but the victory jingle will still play anyways.

You can evolve a Pokemon that requires a stone to evolve without using an item by leveling it up in battle, and then finishing the battle with a Pokemon with a hexadecimal identifier equal to the needed stone.

All items intended to quadruple attack accuracy actually quarter it instead. Whoops.

Some of the hidden items in the Japanese releases of Red and Green just have flat-out incorrect coordinates for the itemfinder’s reference, and if you pick up one out of this set of six miscoded items, the other five become unobtainable.

The aforementioned hidden items can, however, somehow be made obtainable again by moving a fossil item out of your inventory.

You can use the storage system to get yourself a party of only fainted pokemon. This results in the player character blacking out four steps after leaving the PC

If you catch a Pokemon that has used transform, via legitimate moveset, use of metronome, or otherwise, the game will just assume it was a ditto once it’s in your possession.

You can end the encounter with the Ghost Marowak without a Sylph Scope by just throwing a Pokedoll at it.

Catching an ‘M with a Hexadecimal identifier of 00 will leave behind an invisible but otherwise Completely Normal Ditto with its previous moveset at level 0 or 80 that needs to be caught or defeated before the battle can properly end. These games have been out for twenty years and we still don’t know why this happens.

You can buy any of the drinks in the Celadon vending machines as long as you have enough to buy a Fresh Water.

Walking around enough with Pikachu off screen in Yellow can just completely destroy the game for some reason.

If you force a glitch Pokemon with a hexadecimal value of FF into your party, the game will treat it as a hybrid of both Charizard and the cancel button. The game treats this whole scenario about as well as you would expect.

Attempting to use the Mew Encounter exploit with a Pokemon with a special stat of over 250 results in encountering a glitch trainer who causes the game to just flip the absolute fuck out when trying to calculate how much money to award you afterwards. This causes the relevant memory poiner to shoot off to god knows where, and as a result it just sets a solid two hundred unrelated hexadecimal values in the game to 99 in the process, filling your party with level 153 Bulbasaur that can only use explosion.

I wonder if the will bugfix anything in RGBY when they release them on VC.

This is an excellent post and I’d like to add a few of my personal favorites:

If you use a walk through walls code to get into a Pokemon Center without any Pokemon in your party, this happens.

The aforementioned Charizard ‘M (which I played around with quite a bit in the old days so thumbs up for including that) can be used to combine your Pokemon. You can give one Pokemon the moveset etc. of another. Here is how to do it, shown with the easier-to-obtain Yellow variant, a glitch Pokemon called “Q”.

Certain glitch moves cause a variety of ridiculousness to happen. This one is known as the TMTrainer Effect.

I could geek out about first gen glitches for hours.

I have a tag for when I was messing around with the Celebi Egg Trick in my Crystal version several years back. You need to create a “Bad clone” to do the trick, and the effects it makes are similar to TMTrainer. I ended up with a lot of goofy evolutions happening (many of which didn’t ‘count’ for the Pokemon evolving).
