So who buys gold these days. Well, Hip-hop posers in Tokyo still like to fill their grill with the stuff and where do they get their gold? Black market of course, or Brown Market in this case.

The other day I saw an add on TV for an upcoming episode of a major J-Drama. The male lead was wearing a T-shirt with "TRUST ME, I'M AN ***HOLE" emblazoned on his chest (without the ***, of course) and it was featured prominently throughout the CM. This add was running between kids shows at around 5:30 in the afternoon.

itunes Apps. Almost everything published by Japanese companies at the itunes apps store site is about 4 times what I'd consider reasonable.
New release DVD's are way too pricy, so you just have to know where to look. I only haunt the bargin bins- yesterday I picked up Star Trek on Blu-Ray for 1000 yen and a Dble Mixed CD of electro for 290.

Wow. Still so much hate on for Yoko. Some people here should read an article or two more than this one about the lady before tearing her down. RangerMiffy and Paulinusa seem to know what's going on.

Dear J-Pop producers- as you can see, the Silent Era is back in fashion. I recommend you jump on this fad and release the next AKB, K.Koda and Kattun singles as such. In Kattun's case, not including a video may also benefit.

Some of my students live here and I asked them to write a small report to some of our overseas friends who have helped us out. One student wrote "I've met many, many contractors!"
In areas where there is a high concentration of men working in positions of manual labour, those magazines are almost as essential as cigarettes.

Thanks for coming out.
I've heard it plays old Beta Tapes.

Kind of a cross between Mastercard and The Detroit Red Wings. I don't envy the designer, Sato's job- whatever he presents, people are going to see Fukushima in it. Maybe this time they should have gone with a simple outline of the country in solid white on a red background. Dou?

Ah, good old sabre-rattling. Someday my daughter is going to start asking about this sort of stuff (probably because of some NK provocation, which I'm sure is penciled on to the military's calender over there), and I'll have a hard time trying to explain this without it sounding like the juvenile, petty and childish routines of grown men in power. Which is all that it is.

OK folks. Time to chill. Japan isn't bastardizing Halloween any more so than North America has been, starting a few hundred years ago and running through to the present. Check out its true history and you'll see very little today that have to do with the festival of Samhain. Most of the images and symbols we associate Halloween with have just been integrated fairly recently if you're going to look at it in historical terms. The thing that they do get? It has, and hopefully shall always remain, a party. Nothing wrong with that. Oh, and as for any commercial exploitation that some of you might take offense to? You kids'r cute.

Let's not forget his long-term habit of picking out all the young, hot, well-endowed female talents and putting them under his wing, showing them the ropes and giving them... ahem... a leg up in the business. The guys all heart.

"NATHAN HORTON!" "NATHAN HORTON!" The series changed when he was knocked out of it. With that Vancouver woke the Beast of the East and it proceeded to feast.
I'm Canadian but was supporting the Bruins, even though I've got alot of friends in Van. Can't stomach the Canucks floppers, divers, embelishers and overrated goalies.

My thinking as well Mittsu: Smile and run like hell!
Getting really tired of Tokyo "talents" coming up here to spend the weekend "cheering up" the coastal regions with the sentimental-saccharine-bittersweet j-pop and photo op/TV interview. Telling everybody to do their best and that their not alone; then sprinting back to Tokyo to be interviewed about their "volunteer heroism".
Save the trip up north and send the money you would have spent on it to the Red Cross.
