Artists who are taking on the challenge in New York, the entertainment capital of the world,
This has been going on for a long time.
In recent times, borderless globalization is progressing more and more on the Internet, social media, YouTube, etc.
moreover
With the rapid development of AI
It's instantly translated and the language barrier has disappeared.
Near future,
I hope that a Japanese artist who is well known in America will be born.
My expectations are rising.
When I come to NY, I look for concerts and musicals by Japanese artists.
Please enjoy it as a new experience⭐︎

<Finally! The end of the MetroCard>
The symbol of New York, the yellow subway ticket
MetroCard sales will end at the end of this year
Scheduled to end in 2023 but delayed due to COVID-19
The MetroCard shows no signs of disappearing despite warnings that it will soon be gone.
It's a big vending machine
You can only purchase one at a time (you can't choose the number)
Although it is a large vending machine, it is often unavailable. Currently, only cash is accepted. Currently, no change is given. Currently, cash is not accepted.
The card I just bought can't be used because of a magnetic problem.
Even if there is a problem, the staff at the booths can't do anything and just hand you an envelope and have to file a complaint with the operating company (= travelers have no choice but to accept it).
There were various problems
32 years since its introduction in 1993
It will play a vital role as a symbol of New York.
This yellow design is used for various anniversaries and campaigns.
Tiffany Blue, rapper Biggie, musicals,
etc.
It was a limited edition and I was looking forward to it.
Going forward, the system will be unified into the contactless Tap & Go style "OMNY" that was introduced in 2019.
We live in a convenient age where you can use your credit card or smartphone without prior registration (plastic OMNY cards can also be purchased from vending machines).
For about 50 years since 1953
The token (coin) that was the face of the NY subway
1993: Yellow MetroCard takes over
After 32 years, its role came to an end.
The first token costs 15 cents, currently 2.90 USD per ride
It feels about 20 times older.
A valid metro card
Available until the end of 2026

A sweet day to express love and gratitude to each other.
