Playing the earlier mentioned game of looking for sticker plastered or
graffitied vending machines near the Shinjuku / Golden-gai area becomes
fairly boring. However this one has more than that, with an atmospheric
alley in the background that is criss-crossed by wires and pipes, it
really caught my eyes. There are also free MYHOS (Kabukicho host club
magazines) next to it to take, as far as I can tell. It seems to be a
magazine about hosts (as in hosts at host clubs)... or maybe aimed at
hosts, I'm not sure. Their
website says they have
transitioned to publishing on the web since 2024 July, so I'm not sure if
these are old or I'm (and by me I mean google translate) is
misunderstanding something.
前の汚い自販機を探す挑戦は新宿やゴールデン街でちょっと簡単でつまらなくなる。でも、この自販機は落書きやステッカーだけじゃなくて、背景で狭い路地で電線や室外機や管があって、とても気に入った。自販機の横にMYHOSという無料な雑誌があった。MYHOSは歌舞伎町のホスト雑誌だけど、ホスト向きかホストクラブの客向きかよく分からない。MYHOSのウェブサイトによると２０２４年７月からネットに載られることになったから、これは古い刊かもしれない（それとも私は誤訳しちゃったかもしれない）。
