Roppongi Museum's horror-based experiential exhibition: 1999 Exhibition–Memories of a Day That Never Existed
Created by the horror collective Bermuda 3 (novelist Sesuji, game writer Naoko Sato (SIREN), and filmmaker Masaki Nishiyama) the exhibition uses atmospheric sound, immersive visuals, and eerie spatial design to transport you to the eve of destruction. Guided by the mysterious 'Apocalyptic Girl,' designed by acclaimed illustrator Mai Yoneyama, you'll explore a surreal world where 1999 ended in silence, not survival.
1999 Exhibition – Memories of a Day That Never Existed is equal parts horror, nostalgia and interactive art. The exhibition is a must-see for fans of Japanese horror, speculative fiction and experimental storytelling. Enter the memory of a day that never happened—and ask yourself: Did the world truly survive?

Japan's Emperor, Empress Watch Mongolian Horse Race
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, July 12 (Jiji Press)--Japan's Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako watched a horse race in Mongolia held as part of the country's traditional Naadam festival on Saturday morning. At the Khui Doloon Khudag horse race venue approximately 40 kilometers west of the city center of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, the Japanese Imperial couple were welcomed by Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh and his wife. They chatted inside a ger, a Mongolian portable home, before coming outside to watch the race of 5-year-old horses in the open grass field. Over 100 horses mounted by children competed in the roughly 22-kilometer race. The Emperor and the Empress used binoculars to watch the horses dashing through the grassland. In the afternoon, Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako visited Hustai National Park, located about 100 kilometers west of central Ulaanbaatar. The park is home to the Przewalski's horse, a Mongolian wild horse. [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.]

Emperor, Empress Watch Mongolian Horse Racing at Naadam Festival; Meets Mongolians with Ties to Japan
ULAANBAATAR — The Emperor and Empress on Saturday watched horse racing as part of Naadam, Mongolia's largest sporting event, on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar. Naadam, which is translated as 'festival' in English, is held over three days from July 11, when the country marks the anniversary of the People's Revolution. The event features wrestling, horse racing, archery and Shagain Harvaa, a traditional target shooting game using animal knuckle-bones. Considered the festival's highlight, Saturday's race featured more than 100 horses, and children around the age of 10 raced for 22 kilometers on 5-year-old horses. Under a clear blue sky, the Imperial couple, accompanied by Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh and his wife, watched the galloping horses near the finish line in a viewing area overlooking the vast grassland. The Emperor and Empress had attended the opening ceremony of Naadam at the capital's National Central Stadium the previous day. The Imperial couple, accompanied by the president and his wife, watched a performance by about 2,500 dancers and horseback riders racing across the stadium. The Imperial couple were seen applauding a demonstration of traditional archery. They also tried their hand at knuckle-bone shooting upon the president's recommendation, according to the Imperial Household Agency. Later in the day at the Japanese ambassador's residence, the Imperial couple met with Mongolians who have ties to Japan, including the founder of a museum introducing the history of Japanese people who had been interned in Mongolia and a Japanese language teacher at a local school.

Starbucks Japan releases new Shine Muscat grape drinks, but the Frappuccino isn't the star
A surprise newcomer steals the show as this summer's must-try beverage. Fruit has been plentiful at Starbucks this summer, with strawberries and mangoes keeping us refreshed throughout the season, but now it's time for a new crop to take centre stage, with a trio of Shine Muscat grape drinks called 'Three Summer Muscats'. On the menu from 9 July, we were one of the first in line to try the trio, and with Shine Muscat being a large and premium Japanese cultivar of grape, we had high expectations for all three of them. So how would they stack up? Let's start the taste test with the main attraction, the 'Grand Muscat Frappuccino'. ▼ This icy drink is available in a Tall size only, priced at 707 yen (US$4.82) for takeout or 720 yen for dine-in. With muscat juice in the base, and sauce with grape pulp and a jelly made with muscat puree in the mix, this Frappuccino is designed to tantalise the taste buds with juicy, fresh, succulent flavours. Elderflower is added as an accent, and although it comes with a whipped cream topping, Starbucks suggests ordering it without cream for a lighter, more refreshing taste. ▼ So that's how we ordered it. The cream-less Frappuccino has a beautiful light green hue, and when you take a sip, the sweet and tangy flavor of muscat fills your mouth in the most delicious way. The jelly pieces throughout also play a great role, giving each mouthful a pleasantly jiggly, fruit-like texture. The base and sauce are a perfect match, resulting in a finish that's so juicy you could drink it endlessly during the blazing hot days of summer. ▼ Next up, we have the 'Chillax Soda Muscat' (579 yen/590 yen takeout/dine-in for a Tall; 624 yen/635 yen for a Grande). This is the third flavour to be released in Starbucks' new 'Chillax Soda' series, which is based on the concept of 'aromatic sodas for a lighter mood'. Grape pulp jelly, muscat puree, soda water and a special green citrus-flavoured syrup are the ingredients here, with the jelly's sweetness being central to delivering a crisp, refreshing flavour. The simplicity of the beverage serves to bring out the muscat's sweetness, and the green citrus aromatics pair well with the muscat while the fizzy soda adds extra refreshment, creating a pleasantly chill drinking experience. ▼ Finally, we have the 'Muscat Earl Grey Frozen Tea' (678 yen takeout; 690 yen dine-in, Tall size only) Surprisingly, this is actually the most intriguing of the three, as it combines muscat-flavoured jelly and grape pulp sauce with the chain's popular 'Earl Grey Bouquet & Tea' tea latte, a milky, fragrant blend embellished with a vanilla-flavoured mousse topping. This topping is unique in itself, as it's lighter and smoother than whipped cream, allowing the stunning combination of Earl Grey and muscat to really shine. Unlike the Frappuccino, the ice content isn't as overpowering, so the refreshing Earl Grey takes centre stage, and with the jelly and sauce at the bottom of the cup, you can mix in as much or as little of it as you like to change the intensity of the fruit. With so many flavours and a texture somewhere between an iced drink and a Frappuccino, this is truly a new kind of beverage and it completely stole the show, standing out from its companions with an elevated, elegant deliciousness. If you're looking for a literal bite to eat alongside the new drinks, then we highly recommend the newly released 'Sugar Doughnut Balls' (370 yen), which add a touch of decadent sweetness to the Shine Muscat beverages. All of these newly released items are limited-time offerings for summer, with the chain saying they'll only be available while stocks last. If you want to indulge in just one, then we highly recommend trying the Muscat Earl Grey Frozen Tea, but every item is delicious and worth trying — just don't wait too long to try them before they disappear!
