SBP! Newsletter Curated Collection + MEGA MAP

Take a time-travel trip through Japan’s glitziest, grimiest, most glamorous era.

This lovingly curated collection brings together six months of weekly newsletters into one dazzling, redesigned ebook—featuring:

🗺️ 78 rare and retro Japanese locations all across Japan

📍 From neon-lit sentos and love hotels to kissatens, arcades, and lost bubble-era zones—with direct Google Map links to explore them all

🎞️ 27 full-length films and OVAs

Plus interesting short films and retro commercials, forgotten anime, and cult classics beyond HAUSU! (one movie so weird and rare it's only available on Amazon Japan, but Bez0s has enough money, give it to me and you'll get a direct link with english subtitles and be one of the very few who knows about this ambient independent city pop vibe filmé)

🎧 17 pop + ambient 80s JAMS & 14 FULL ALBUMS!

Soundtrack your own nostalgia spiral with the best audio gems of the era, I promise it's not just the usual cuts

📰 36 articles and essays

Stories behind Japan’s bubble economy, subcultures, architectural fever dreams, and deep reads on its visual and emotional aesthetics.

✌️ 6 SAYONARA spots that left us too soon

Stories that highlight bubble burst history and acknowledge the abandoned amusement parks, demolished kissatens and shuttered spots that now only live on in memory...

💥 Plus! THE MEGA MAP that keeps the locations easy to pinpoint and will keep growing as this project continues with additional ebooks!

💽 Why this ebook?

Because you don't have time to search for the BEST OF THE BEST city pop jams, because you don't know where to go but you know it has to be UNIQUE, because you want to be the one that KNOWS about lost movies that no one has heard of, because you recognize good style and have GOOD TASTE for the flamboyant and dusty!

I’ve lived in Japan for over a decade documenting the most vibe-rich, time-warped, flickering neon ghosts of the Showa era—and now you can get the whole archive from my curated newsletter.

This isn’t a travel guide. It’s a time machine.

64 pages of nostalgia, neon, and noise. Yours forever (until they crumble).

🎌 Includes:

• 64-page PDF download of the completely revamped weekly newsletter collection
• Clickable links to films, albums, maps, and articles
• Bundled with the MEGA MAP linked in the ebook which will continue to grow and evolve as more niche ebooks are released.

💸 If you're short on cash or a deep-cut Japan pro who doesn't need the ambience of music, knowledge of articles or links to rare movies and just want the locations for your next trip--grab the standalone showabubblepop! MEGA MAP for quick access to all 78+ locations! 🗾✨

‼️ note: If you have any trouble accessing the material of certain links due to country/region limitations, try using a VPN. These links (movies and music via youtube) have been tested in both Japan and the US with no problem for accessibility.
