I’ve really been stacking up on books about Japan lately, my last order included Arcade Mania!, The Otaku Encylopedia and My Darling is a Foreigner, and out of those I’ve only had time to finish the last one mentioned. So with the 5 books I got from Amazon today, I have a total of 7 books to read!
In this order (orders actually), I got the 5 books seen above. [click to continue…]
It’s finally Wednesday again, although not just any Wednesday. It’s the last Wednesday before I have my two weeks off work! I can’t think of a better way than to celebrate that with a bunch of beautiful fashionable gyarus :)
I’m gonna have to go with “YAY!”, even though I prefer black and dark brown… [click to continue…]
Since you’re reading this, chances are you’re not at the Tokyo Electronic Music Festival. But seeing as there’s one day left, you could still go! Party till 5 in the morning and then go to work ;)
With DJs from all over the world, three indoor arenas and one outdoor stage at the waterfront (The iFlyer Aquarium, The Loft, WOMB Annex and the Harumi Seaside Terminal), it’s bound to be one hell of a party. I just wish I was there myself! [click to continue…]
I might have come across one of the most clever pens out there. This is a pen for tourists in Taiwan, and what it really is, is a very pocket-friendly tourist map!
I want to create a pen like this, for something other than a map of Taiwan though. Wouldn’t you agree on how smart this is though? The perfect companion for a backpacker I’d say. [click to continue…]
In Japan, there are ways to do literally everything in the cutest way possible. You probably can’t go more than 10 feet and you’ll see something cute! The video I’m about to share however isn’t actually real, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there were something like this available in some underground suicide shop in Tokyo, haha.
This clip is from the Japanese gore movie “Tokyo Gore Police”, check it out if you have some free time this weekend. Japanese gore movies are pure humor. [click to continue…]
Well, actually it’s already Thursday, some things came up so I didn’t have enough time yesterday to get this post done. So just this once will it be a Gyaru Thursday^^;
This might not come as a surprise to you, but when it comes to world cups, I root for Japan. I actually didn’t think Japan would make it so far, but they’ve really showed everyone that they have a very solid team. It was great to see the majority at work rooting for Japan when they played against Paraguay!
I want to dedicate this post to the Japanese fans who were there and supported their team to the very end, you were amazing!
Also take a few seconds to vote on your favorite Japanese player :) [click to continue…]
JinnyOops! accidentally rocked your socks off in 1 minute and 15 seconds. You should thank them. — SparkPlugged
I couldn’t express myself any better, so I went with a quote. But wow, did JinnyOops! rock my socks off (even though I wasn’t wearing any!). I hadn’t even turned down the volume from last night, and this was before my early morning coffee. But this song completely removed every drowsy cell in my body, it felt like a brainwash (I think).

Along with the KitKat variety pack, I also included a variety pack of FRISK mints in my first order from White Rabbit Express. The FRISK variety pack is shipped in batches of 10 packs, and while the KitKats might last a couple of days at most, the FRISK variety pack will most likely last months.
You see, every package of FRISK contains 50 mints, so that means you get a total of 500 mints in this variety pack. And mints aren’t really something you munch away on, more likely something you use three or four times a day to get rid of that bad coffee breath. So if you eat four a day, this variety pack will last 125 days.
The mints are $2.5 a pack and the flavors you see in this post are the currently available flavors in Japan (as of July 8, 2010). [click to continue…]
The gyaru hunt continues this week as the Gyaru Wednesday series is here to stay. And if you did what I did and ordered the KitKat Variety Pack from White Rabbit Express, have some KitKat Framboise with this post, I think Framboise would be the number one choice among gyarus :3
I know fake tans aren’t that popular anymore, but what do you think of them? Personally, I don’t like them, it looks weird, dirty kind of… [click to continue…]
