Our new video captures the entire, dramatic transformation sequence, and trust us, it's one of the most incredible sights in the city. The Moment It Changes: Unicorn to Destroy Mode The current model is the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam , known for its ability to switch between two distinct states: Unicorn Mode: The initial, pristine white state, featuring a sleek design and a single horn (V-fin). Destroy Mode: The intense battle mode, where panels slide open, and a vibrant, glowing red internal frame (the psycho-frame) lights up the entire robot. The transformation is a true feat of engineering, and the sound and light show ...

One Pan Man! 👊🍳 The S-Class Scissor Hero vs. Massive Japanese Cream Stew I’m just a guy who’s a hero for fun, and my mission today is simple: defeat a mountain of vegetables and create a Massive Japanese Cream Stew using only ONE PAN . If you’re tired of washing dishes and wrestling with cutting boards, welcome to the S-Class way of life. The Weapon: S-Class Scissor Hero ✂️ To handle this massive batch of chicken and white fish, I’ve retired the knife. I’m using my Kai-jirushi Seki Magoroku shears. Why? Because a true hero needs precision and speed: No Mess: Snip the meat and veggies directly into the pan. S-Class Edges: These Japanese blades give a cleaner cut than most kitchen knives. Heat Control: I can adjust the size of the pieces while they are already searing in the pan. The Strategy: "Gardening Style" Cooking 🥦 I call my vegetable prep "Gardening Style." Instead of the traditional "board and blade" method, I treat the broccoli, asparagus, ...

Learning The Beatles: The Long and Winding Road (Piano Practice Journal) The Challenge Today’s practice session was dedicated to one of the most beautiful, yet intimidating, songs in my repertoire: The Long and Winding Road . As an adult beginner, I’ve realized that some songs look simple on paper but require a lot of coordination and theory knowledge to get right. This song is the perfect example of that. It’s a "long and winding road" just to get the chord transitions smooth! What I Focused on Today In this raw practice session, I broke the work down into two main phases: Melody & Bass Isolation: I started by making sure I had the right-hand melody and the simple bass movement down. I spent a lot of time on Section C ("Many times I've been alone") because the phrasing there is so iconic. Chord Harmony & Inversions: Moving from just the melody to full chords changed everything. I had to really focus on the Section B bridge and the Coda to make su...

Exploring City Circuit Tokyo Bay: The Future of Urban Karting on Odaiba Odaiba is well-known for its futuristic architecture and entertainment, but it has recently become home to something truly unique for motorsports fans. Located on the former site of Palette Town, City Circuit Tokyo Bay is officially the only permanent racing circuit within the 23 wards of central Tokyo. A New Era of Motorsports What makes this circuit stand out is its commitment to sustainable technology.
