Do you have something you just can’t stop doing? For me, it is cameras. I have been researching iPhone gear all day. I felt like I was becoming "Atama-dekkachi" or Big-headed. It means thinking too much and not moving enough. So today I went out to test my new setup. I also had a small problem with a screw. In Japanese, we say "neji wo nameru" or "licking the screw" when the head gets stripped. A kind shop staff helped me fix it.👉Get the transcripts with furigana on Okkei Japanese
