In Japan, there is "Wafu Chicken Cutlet Burger" in Kentucky Fried Chicken's menu.
It features a chicken cutlet generously coated in sweet and savory sauce.
The shredded cabbage pairs perfectly with it.
It's truly delicious! I prefer this burger over fried chicken.
If you ever have the chance to visit Japan, be sure to try it！！

I watched the "The Little Prince" musical film released in 1974 .
This movie is based on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's children's novel The Little Prince.
It was directed by Stanley Donen, known for classics like Singin' in the Rain.
The songs were composed by the legendary duo Frederick Loewe (music) and Alan Jay Lerner (lyrics), famous for "My Fair Lady" and An "Gigi".
Lerner also wrote the screenplay.
I absolutely love Singin' in the Rain, and I also enjoy My Fair Lady and Gigi.
The fact that staff from my favorite works were involved, combined with my fondness for the original The Little Prince, piqued my interest, so I decided to watch it.
With the combination of Lowe and Lerner, it's no surprise that it's full of great songs!
In particular, the song “Be Happy,” whose melody is used repeatedly throughout the film, was extremely good.
Richard Kiley's powerful rendition of “I Need Air” was also very good.
And, Bob Fosse's dance on the unstable scaffolding was amazing!
The fisheye lens effect was great too!
There was a fusion of animation and live action!
And above all, the story is interesting because the original work is a masterpiece that will go down in world history!
I can't say it was amazing, but it definitely wasn't a film I regretted spending time watching.
There were moments where I thought, “Is this a children's movie?” or, to put it negatively, felt a lack of depth, but my personal impression is that it wasn't that bad!
Lerner & Loewe's final musical film, The Little Prince.
The original story itself is a wonderful, wonderful tale—mysterious, a bit challenging at times, yet one that stays with you forever. This adaptation retains that core appeal.
While not strictly faithful to the book, it carefully preserves the original's worldview. Then, the music by the powerhouse duo Lerner and Loewe adds its own color.
As a visual adaptation of The Little Prince, I thought it was a good work. (The fact that the pilot's drawings were almost exactly as in the book was also great!)

Hi! I am Japanese. I’m sorry that I am not good at English very well.
I like Japanese Hip-Hop unit "Creepy Nuts" very much and I like musical movies too.
I started to listen Hip-Hop music because of I started to like Creepy Nuts.
I thought that it is very interesting Hip-Hop song's lyrics make a rhyme.
The lyrics of Japanese songs often do not rhyme. But, almost Hip-Hop song, even if Japanese Hip-Hop songs, rhyme a lot.
Japanese Hip-Hop songs' rhyme surprised me, "What interesting things Japanese and words are!"
R-shitei (R-指定 さん) who makes Creepy Nuts' lyrics is like a great magician of words, creating words with rhymes, double meanings, triple meanings, and even more meaning.
He always manipulate word freely.
By the way, R-shitei was born and raised in Osaka prefecture. Osaka is the area which has distinctive dialects. It is called Osaka-ben（大阪弁） or Kansai-ben（関西弁）.
（Osaka-ben means the dialect of Osaka. Kansai-ben means the dialect of Kansai. Kansai(関西) means the area which contains Osaka and Kyoto and so on. Kansai-ben conteins not only Osaka-ben but also other dialects of Kansai area. (Johto region of Pokemon is inspired Kansai) ）
R-shitei often uses Kansai dialect or Kansai accent in his lyrics.

I am Japanese live in Japan.
I update my iPhone's OS to iOS18.
Unfortunately, the bug occurred since iOS15 is not still fixed.
The bug is that.
In "Mail" app pre-installed on iPhone,
when we write a sentence once, save it as a draft, edit it further, and save it as a draft for the second time onward, line breaks are added at the top.
This issue doesn't happen when I save draft for the first time. The blank line appears after when I save draft the second time onward.
Every time I save a draft for the second or third time,
the line breaks increase by one or two lines.
If I repeat editing and saving of sentence, a lot of blank lines are made!!
The similar problems are reported in the Japanese Apple community, and I have reported it to Apple Support several times, but there has been no fixed yet!
I use email of iPhone a lot, so it's a small thing, but it's really bothersome bug.
I hope it gets fixed soon! ! !
Mail app of iOS18 of your country, is there this bug?
Thank you for reading!
PS5 Pro has been announced! ! ! !
I have Nintendo Switch but don't have PS5.
Last year, I bought "SteamDeck" which is portable gaming PC.
I wanted to play PlayStation games that I can't play on Switch, such as Detroit: Become Human and Marvel's Spider-Man,
so I decided to buy PS5 or SteamDeck.
I bought SteamDeck instead of a PS5 because I was attracted to the good points of SteamDeck that I can lie in bed gaming.
I'm very glad that I bought SteamDeck. But I was so enthusiastic about Marvel's Spider-Man and I had a strong desire to experience all the features of this game.
SteamDeck is very good for playing games simply, but once I want to more function, SteamDeck is a little unsatisfying! Let's buy PS5! !
With that in mind, I decided to buy PS5 someday.
However, I got information that "PS5 Pro might be released", I waited and saw. Then, in Japan, recently, the price of PS5 had increased! !
When the price of PS5 increased in Japan, I thought I'd buy it not pro, but it was sold out everywhere and I couldn't buy PS5, so I thought, "Okay, I'll get the PS5 Pro", so I waited until today.
The announced price in Japan is about 120,000 yen! ! ! ! !
It's too expensive for me!!
And PS5 Pro doesn't heve Discdrive.
One reason that I want to PS5 is "I can watch 4K UHD Blueray Disc on PS5".
For me who not only wants to play games but also want to watch 4KUHD, a disc drive is a must-have item, and it currently costs about 12,000 yen at the Sony Store, so if I buy PS5 Pro, I would need about 130,000 yen. ! ! !
It's too expensive, and I'm currently hesitating, thinking, "Maybe I should buy PS5 not pro about 80,000 yen, or I might as well put in the effort and get a Pro not to regret later.
On the internet, many Japanese say PS5 is a little too expensive.
In your country, PS5 is expensive or reasonable?_
