A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

The birthplace of omurice is the United States.

See the answer

Omurice is a dish that you can almost always find on the menu at Western-style diners in Japan. Because it has such a strong Western vibe, you might assume it originated in places like the United States or France, but in fact it was born in Japan. Hokkyokusei in Osaka, which marked its 100th anniversary in 2022, is known as the restaurant where omurice originated.

The woodpecker pecks at the tree so that it won’t be attacked by predators.

See the answer

○

When we think of creatures that take human lives, we imagine venomous animals or powerful beasts we can’t overpower. But the answer is mosquitoes.

See the answer

◯

Have you ever gotten a headache from eating something cold? That sharp, sudden head pain actually has a name. When you hurriedly eat cold ice cream or shaved ice, the nerves in your throat get stimulated, and it seems your body mistakes the cold for pain, triggering a headache.
