From Left to Right: Soy Sauce Face, Sauce Face, Salt Face Vinegar Face, Sugar, Miso Face Mayonnaise Face, Ketchup Face, Olive Oil Face

My Japanese language partner and I were talking about Yuzuru Hanyu and she mentioned that he looks like a Soy Sauce face. I asked her what that meant and according to her, the Japanese have a face classification for men where the shape and look of their face determines what category they are in. There’s a description and a famous person example under each of the categories.

I laugh at Mokomichi Hayami because he’s got his own “Olive Oil” category. It’s a reference to his own cooking show called MOCO'Sキッチン or Moco’s Kitchen where he pulls olive oil like a person pulls tea:

Do not work on your days off.

Do not “answer a few emails” on your vacation

Do not work off the clock

a single triple A video game can destroy an entire studio if it doesn't meet expectations, which are already lofty enough as it is.

and everything has to appeal to the widest demographic possible, which can mean sterilizing anything creative about the work so it becomes as palatable as possible.
