Rin-chan moved into an apartment with ridiculously thin walls.Yukatefu
A one-track piece by Yukatefu that feels like a comedy sketch.
Released in July 2025, it centers on a noise problem that hits Rin-chan after she moves into an apartment with thin walls.
It’s said to be based on Yukatefu’s real-life experiences.
The frustrations Rin-chan feels about the everyday sounds made by her quirky neighbors—like the Indian resident upstairs and Mr.
Kato next door—are conveyed with touches of Kansai dialect, making it both pitiful and oddly funny.
Anyone else dealing with the same issue?
