The Amami Islands, now part of Kagoshima Prefecture, marked the 70th anniversary of their return to Japanese administration on Monday, at a time when the number of U.S. citizens who were living on the Amamis before their reversion is decreasing. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/12/26/japan/history/us-woman-amami-oshima/?utm_content=buffer6068d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #history #amamioshima #nancymills #kagoshima

I'm nearly at the end of 天国と地獄〜サイコな2人〜 (Heaven and Hell: Soul Exchange), with 1 episode to go, and I've really enjoyed it. Despite its serial killer subject and a somewhat shaky body-swap premise, it ends up quite wholesome in a peculiarly Japanese way.
My two random takeaways are a new word I learned because it's pretty central to the plot: 歩道橋 「ほどうきょう、 pedestrian bridge」 and the existence of 奄美大島 Amami Oshima, an island roughly halfway between the southern tip of Kyushu and Okinawa, which I now really want to visit 😊
