It's not that special. They cry every time when I try to talk to them... Joking aside, the videos have been great. The most recent one, with the beatlemania is maybe my favourite. I know it's about Mitoma and not the Albion specifically but it warms my heart seeing so much Brighton presence...

I didn't see Baleba at training either so it's looking highly unlikely! Wieffer was at least there doing some individual stuff.

Just on my way home from the open training session. There were loads more people than I was expecting, must have been several thousand. I've definitely been in smaller Brighton home crowds.

That's awesome. I'll have a look tomorrow. It's really frustrated me how up to now there has been no trace of the Albion in Japan despite having Mitoma for two years. It feels like such a wasted opportunity so it's good to see something is happening.

Any Brighton stuff on sale? We've never had a single thing on sale in Kamo before, let alone have the walls decorated in our colours and players.

Palace. Obviously. Chelsea are a horrible, soulless, plastic club that represents most if not all that's wrong with modern football. Why waste any more emotion on a club like that than you need to? I hate to say it but Palace are far more worthy of proper rivalry as they're(a laughably...

I'm far too classy to make the obvious joke about my greatest Brighton - Japanese 'interactions'

It's difficult to know what to expect. What I hope is another top ten finish and a cup win. I really, really want us to get some silverware out of these golden years. Actually one thing I do expect is that if we have a slow start, which is entirely possible with our opening fixtures, a whole...

Not really a home game for Kashima. They're from Ibaraki which admittedly is much closer to Tokyo than Brighton is but it's a bit like Brighton playing a home game in Gillingham.... Oh. The J league never fails to disappoint. I was expecting much more from Kashima.

The GNLF P.I dectective agency is back in business! Thanks to the second video of the team going for a walk I'm 99% confident the club are staying at the Ritz Carlton at Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi. Seems like I could have a career in sleuthing after all.

Is that why we've never seen Jos smile?

What a thoroughly entertaining race. The Norris/Piastri will they won't they drama. Max turning into a whinging prick and driving like a pissed off, spoilt brat, Hamilton getting on the podium. All round lovely stuff!

I went to an ardija game at the tail end of last season. They lost 2-0 and my friend was incredibly apologetic about the poor quality. I told him not to worry, it reminded me of the Albion from 95-99 and was bringing back strong nostalgic feelings. They're romping through j3 I hear so all...

I tried to work out what hotel they were staying in so I could be an the ground reporter. Turns out I have absolutely no idea what any of the hotels in Tokyo look like.

Depends if they want to sell out or not...

Currently the most overused phrase in football. The number of players who have been labeled generational in the last few seasons suggests it's either a meaningless description or a generation spans no more than a couple of weeks.

Can't see any call girl cards in it so probably not!

12m seems incredibly low. That's a bit less than we let Burn go to Newcastle for isn't it? And he had less time on his contract and asked to leave because it was a now or never opportunity to play for his boyhood club. Now I'm sure Billy would jump at the chance to play for Napoli but why...

For those of you coming over the best advice I can give is to stay hydrated. The temperature is forecast to break 35 degrees every day from now until next thursday. We're entering the start of summer proper, where even at night the temperature will not drop below 27 or 28. The kicker being...

My advice would be to not bother with the combini food for anything other than the novelty. You can get good quality meals for lunch and dinner for 5-7 quid. Food in Tokyo/Japan is generally really good. Don't waste your time on vastly inferior combini food just because it's a couple of quid...
