This reminded me of Japanese micro seasons [0] which I found delightful.

I have these in my google calendar. Kinda forgot they were japanese and they don't line up with our (european) weather perfectly, but i still enjoy seeing them there.

Found them on HN years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20377098

Thanks for the link!

Ah yes, the beautiful four seasons of Japan: rain, more rain, a fuckload of rain, and snow /s

Dwelling in England, I'll take it. At least the scenery in Japan is gorgeous, the food is delicious, and the indie music scene is lovely. Plenty to love.

- The scenery might be gorgeous, but the cities are depressingly ugly, and the roads are garbage, so reaching said scenery might take you several hours of driving and then what? - Any food is delicious compared to English food /s - I don't know about the indie music scene, because I live deep in the countryside. - Bonus track: the Japanese society can be very difficult for a Western person to adjust. After six years here, I feel like I have failed and I really want to go back to Europe.

Are you really dissing the entire English indie music scene? You might not like it, but England has been creating musicians and defining whole genres non-stop since the 1960s (Beatles, Led Zeppelin, heavy metal, punk rock, psychedelic rock, jungle, the entire rave scene, The Prodigy, dnb, uk garage, the whole 2010s indie rock, dubstep, UK drill, etc.)

Japan seems to have a lot of small, very talented indie bands that basically are emulating and/or fusing Western genres together (jazz, funk, metal, etc.)
