I just want to watch this movie again and again🚪🗝️
Things I Can’t Stop Thinking About
With Shingeki having ended I’m still going to use this space to talk about events but also thought it would be fun to write about different topics as well whether it’s travel or shopping or other things. This would decidedly fall under the category of “other things.”
A couple of years ago there was this factory we would pass when bicycling over to Tokyo Disney Resort. One day we noticed a couple of mannequin heads behind the fence and over time more and more were added.
Sometimes the positions would be moved around.
It was so creepy and we were living for it!
But then one day suddenly they were all gone. Maybe someone in the neighborhood made a complaint or maybe it was a rogue worker having fun and management finally noticed what they were doing.
I still think about this all the time and wonder what the story was!
Hope you enjoyed this strange local neighborhood story!

Attack on Titan x Yokohama Royal Park Hotel ~Room Service Course Dinner~
This is the last of the Attack on Titan in Yokohama posts, I hope those following along could enjoy it! An evening room service Shingeki themed dinner course was included in the room plan we chose!
Let’s take a look at what is included in the “Dedicate Your Appetite! Attack on Titan Plate”menu!
Stewed beans eaten by Gabi and Falco served with human shaped croutons.
The meat the potato girl (Sasha Braus) bit served with steamed potatoes and the symbol of the founder Ymir represented by baked apples.
The pound cake made from the black tea that Captain Levi liked.
Niccolo’s recommended wine and grape juice.
Bread that resembles the snap blade. ( We were trying to figure out what this was and it finally hit us that it’s the blade the survey corps uses😆)
It was a delicious and fun dinner! I actually wish there was an option like this themed room and dinner for when USJ does it’s Cool Japan events!

Attack on Titan x Yokohama Royal Park Hotel ~Room Interior~
Right now there is a collaboration with the Yokohama Royal Park Hotel where guests can reserve a Shingeki themed room with the option of a room service course dinner. It was the Golden Week holiday so we wanted to do something but also wanted to avoid crowded places. So we booked the dinner course room with the plan to hit the Landmark Tower exhibit at opening and quickly completing the stamp rally before many people were out and about.
After a busy morning we were able to check in a little early. We received souvenir room keys with Eren and the Attack Titan and were told that there would be more souvenirs in the room. The collaboration rooms had the wings of freedom on the door!
When we walked in we noticed two things right away, one was a titan peeking at us next to the door!
The other thing was a floating Eren and Levi ahead of us and the curtain raising on it’s own to reveal the Colossal Titan at the window!
Above the bed there were more titans😆
On the table we found souvenir coasters and towels.
It was such a fun design for a room and we maybe played with the curtain a little too much with the bedside control panel as you can see in the link below!😅
All in all it was a fun little get away with a really lovely view! The hotel and location were very nice and while it would have been nice to explore more and have fun in the area we can always come back another time once things are back to normal. There is so much to do in Yokohama so we are looking forward to that day!✨

Attack on Titan in Yokohama 2021 ~Part 2 Stamp Rally and Displays~
There were also various displays around the event venue at no charge and for a short time a stamp rally where you could win prizes.
People who have attended various Shingeki events in the past will no doubt recognize the displays as they have been used at various events but they add a fun atmosphere and the Shiganshina display that was shown at Anime Japan previously is really impressive and I’m happy they kept it and could show it again!
This game where you had to make it to the end without touches the edges was so fun and nerve wracking!
The stamp rally was done using your cell phone and you had to find different cutouts of the characters and scan a barcode.
Surprisingly we won a tote bag prize! Everyone who had at least one stamp could receive stickers too!

Attack on Titan in Yokohama 2021 ~Part 1 Landmark Tower~
There is a new event happening now in Yokohama involving the Landmark Tower, the surrounding Minato Mirai area and the Yokohama Royal Palace Hotel.
At the top of the Landmark Tower the lovely seaside scenery of Yokohama can be enjoyed and now for a limited time it can be enjoyed with Attack on Titan elements.
There are two types of tickets that can be purchased. One is the regular priced ticket and one that is priced a bit higher the comes with a clear folder with a design from the manga. Both give access to the view and the mini exhibit featuring some items that had been displayed at the Kyojinten Final Exhibit previously on the building’s 69th floor.
The view of Yokohama is already lovely and it’s fun to see it with a Shingeki overlay allowing for fun and whimsical photo ops.
There is also a cafe and seating where you can relax and enjoy the view. When you purchase a Shingeki themed drink you receive a sticker of the character the drink represents!
All in all it was a nice chance to visit a well known landmark and enjoy some exhibit items again while taking in a nice view!

Attack on Titan X Mercedes me
I had work in the city and took the chance to hit the Mercedes me X Shingeki event. It had been a long time since attending an event since we are trying to avoid going out so it was a nice excursion. The event had been going for a while and it was a weekday so it wasn’t very crowded! At the event you could see a Shingeki car wrapping with many iconic scenes from the manga and manga panel decorations both inside and outeside. There was also a cafe and restaurant with different dishes themed to SNK.
Wanting to spend as little time as possible in the city I opted for the cafe menu instead of the course menu upstairs. Usually collaboration menus are not great but this was quite nice!
The car wrapping was really great! There is a chance to win a mini version.
Eren + titan marks
Attack on Athletic Courses: Muscle Monster 2019
Posting swole EreWan I just realized I have had these photos from Muscle Monster in my drafts for such a long time and never got around to sharing them. Last last summer, it feels like so long ago now, the child and I trekked over to Lake Sagami Pleasure Forest to attempt the Muscle Monster Athletic Course and Shingeki collaboration. There was adventure and drama and fun and we could go outside normally!
It was pretty far for us, about 2 and a half hours travel time. So we got there a little later than we wanted too and arrived an hour or two after opening. It was quite a walk with many stairs to climb but we could see the attraction in the distance and pushed forward!
Of course we were excited to go shopping too! But! Almost all the goods were sold out except for cookies and the canvas boards! It was the first day and just a few hours into opening so understandably people were pretty angry about it. Luckily a really sweet person who was a friend of someone we knew was super kind and hooked us up with an Eren acrylic keychain.
After that we headed to the main attraction to meet with a friend and to do the course!
There were so fun photo spots outside!
The course itself was pretty challenging! Also in some points a bit scary because of the height and open air! But it was also so much fun and we enjoyed the different photo points you could print with Shingeki backgrounds after finishing the attraction.
After the attraction we went to the restaurant to enjoy the themed menu! You could receive coasters with the event design and a really nice plastic lunch mat as well!✨
The view was so beautiful both while doing the attraction and when walking around! It was all in all a really fun time!
Attack on Titan Chronicle Collaboration Menu and Merch
The SNK Chronicle movie has been out for a few weeks now and while there wasn’t any cinema merch for the release there was a small karaoke collaboration. Because of Covid concerns we initially were not really going to try it but we passed by it on the street by chance and take out was an option so we gave it a try!
You could choose from four character drinks or a massive titan sized drink, recommended for people about 60 meters tall😆 Eren’s drink was milk based with banana syrup and frozen mango. Mikasa’s was soda based with wild berry and cranberry syrup and a beauty supplement, hyaluronic acid jelly and topped with nata de coco. Levi’s drink was apricot and mango syrup with black tea and mint and Erwin’s was ginger ale based with blue curaçao and grenadine syrup with a pocky stick.
We tried the Eren and Mikasa drinks!
My son was happy with the coasters that came with it since his favorites are Levi and Hanji. The quality of the coasters was pretty nice this time.
There was also merch available for purchase and You could buy a full set if you didn’t want to play the blind bag game. I wanted the acrylic accessories but there was also can badges available for purchase with the same design.
If you did want something from the actual cinema you could purchase the movie booklet with a lovely Eren illustration on the cover. There was also some non movie tie in goods which varied from cinema to cinema.
