This isn't an account of the cultural moment that indi-fashion hub Harajuku had before its gentrification by Major international brand stores, or a inane J-Travel blog complaining about being out of shape and there being too much walking, It's a possibly interesting story of personal growth only coincidentally related to Harajuku.
I see this a lot of these meandering essays or whatever from thought leader types: write a lot of fluff about a subject and make it sound like you're the first person to have a thought on said subject.
I didn't know what Harajuku was, and thought it was going to be some Japanese term for some psychological concept, like ikigai, kaizen, wabi-sabi, or something like that.
Disappointingly, it's about personal shrinkage - weight loss. Yes, you have to want to do it; people fail because they get hungry, and that can be surprisingly hard to fight. The magic GLP drugs work because they suppress hunger, at which point not eating becomes easier.

Perhaps. But these days it reads like AI slop.
ChatGPT literally sounds like it was trained on these influencer bro thought leaders.
"I would not recommend that.
Because that is bad.
Tom tried it. Dick tried it. Harry tried it.
Tom lost everything. Dick lost his dick. Harry's wife left him.
But there is one situation where this might apply, and when I would recommend it.
That is, if you would like to buy a used diaper factory."

I’m thankful to have learned how to skim and scan.
Nah. You close the tab and move on with life.
