g_uavaSome activities I did lately that I haven't been doing for the past year or so:
Studying Japanese -- I managed to secure a seat to retake the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) and have begun revising in earnest! I'm going to sit for the test for level N1, but to be fully prepared I'm going to revise the grammar for level N3 and N2. Currently, I'm almost done with taking notes and completing the quizzes in the JLPT TRY N3 book, which I recommend for its relevant and practical sentence examples.
Posting fic on AO3 -- Today, I've posted my first new work since May 2024. It's a drabble compilation about The Karate Kid and I might as well admit now that I've failed in my resolution that I've stated in a previous post, which is to only watch media related to the Lupin III franchise for the rest of 2025.
Watching tokusatsu -- I've redownloaded Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger and have rewatched up to E8. Back when the show was on the air, I've only watched half of it and so I'll watching many of the latter episodes for the very first time. Most of the show aired during the Reiwa era, yet I can't help but see it as a Heisei show.

Reminds me of how for Liveman it is seen as a showa series even though part of the series aired at the start of heisei in the second half of the show. Hope you enjoy revisiting it! Haven't seen it myself yet but I love the suits for it.
