Pity the graffiti isnt very .... good? Maybe the fact its in Singapore is amazing enough though! Hopefully it inspires more & more! ( View formatted comment » )

Looks really great - I think it looks ace as it is! Any kind of clothes are cool as long as they are removable... ( View formatted comment » )

Check out this one, from back in the day: http://www.vimeo.com/814772 ( View formatted comment » )

Ganguros can be ugly, but also EXTREMELY pretty (as some the girls in the Youtube video posted), generally speaking if the the girl is ugly and wears WAY too much make up - its not a good thing! On the other hand if she is wearing mild dark make up and is really pretty - obviously the result is actually a pleasure. ( View formatted comment » )

Got to say - if you think this is the worst crime going on in Akihabara, you've got another thing coming.. Who cares if some Jamaican semi-fraudster travels the world and plays a clever game of speed chess ?!? If you're so worried about fraud and crime in general - don't forget every time you go to Akiba to buy some A.V. products (soft-core/hardcore/ hentai anime) that at least 60-80% of that money is going STRAIGHT to the Yakuza. If you don't know much about the Yakuza, there's a great page I contributed to he... ( View formatted comment » )

Wow - Mirai Inc is looking great and very clever - similar to what programmer D. Karem is doing over at http://www.posttool.com/ . Client up-datable web 2.0 site design. If you ever come through San Francisco, I'll introduce you to David ! ( View formatted comment » )

I think after all it does depend on how your original video was encoded ( mine are PRE - H.264 Quicktime codec) So - I guess it works with most newer videos, unfortunatley , all of mine are a tad too old-school! ( View formatted comment » )

Unfortunately , this trick dosent work on all videos - maybe only more recently up-loaded videos? Check it- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNpEqKgonwM And compare with : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNpEqKgonwM&fmt=18 Pause around the 57 Sec. mark - no difference in quality...

tsa004 : Looks like you have a limited experience in Japan - or maybe an unusually negative one... I couldnt say half those things bothered me... I love Japan, but for different reasons than Danny (except a couple similar interests). * The GENERAL sub-culture, (I.E. - Artists, Club VJs, DJs, Musicians,Poets, Writers, Design, Graffiti, Electronic Music Festivals) *Japan has some of best 3D graphics manipulators such as Ryoichi Kurokawa, and amazing "I.D.M." producers such as Aoki Takamasa. Check them out. They are excellent. ... ( View formatted comment » )

Couldnt agree more , reminds me of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCRryib8jEk Old-school Ero Trooper video.... ( View formatted comment » )

Yep, that's the torrent alright, just downloaded it myself. The A.V. is pretty good, girls are cute & sexy but that damn digital MOSAIC totally gets in the way. Oh well. Might have to get it from L.A. later on this year. (Many Japanese AVs come out on DVD in the U.S. without digital mosaic censorship..). ( View formatted comment » )

Quite sexy, but it looks like this picture came from a "rape fantasy" photo-session, maybe one of my least-favorite Japanese institutions... ( View formatted comment » )

Sure you could have one of these at home, but don't forget you'll never have a real girlfriend then!!!! Girls think stuff like this is just a TAD creepy. The only way I've ever had luck with Japanese girls is by NEVER mentioning that I even like Anime. ( View formatted comment » )

This is fake. Too perfect. Trust me. Probably from a Japanese (soft) porno mag like "Cream" (school-girl specialists). ( View formatted comment » )

Take a quick look , then a pic on the phone. Used to do it back in the day. Was considered normal. ( View formatted comment » )

Huh? Riding your your bike on the sidewalk is actually ALREADY illegal in Japan - its just EVERYBODY does it! Holding an umbrella IS ALSO illegal while riding a bike, and you can get fined Y100,000 for that. Of course, the only person I know to get busted for that was a gai-jin. Welcome to Japan.

Wow. This is one of the first figures I've ever considered buying... ( View formatted comment » )

Danny - the Toshiba Regza is a good choice. Plasmas loose their quality after a while, new-school LCDs are much better than ever : 1080p, Wide color gamut feature , high contrast ratio, VGA input (essential nowadays). LCDs all the way!! ( View formatted comment » )

Hmm, I would agree with Keats from NL : AKIRA is still THE BEST anime ever, seriously I'm waiting for anything to touch it till this day. I have also seen Akira 30+ times, and been BLOWN AWAY by the manga. I can't even think of another manga that can come close. Otomo is a genius. For anyone out there who likes real arty & thinking man's manga, check out his rare collection book "MEMORIES" . It's unbelievable. TO "R-1" , if you are waiting for someone to "..talk about how bad Akira was...&quo... ( View formatted comment » )

@Sinless, I am well aware, that's why I wrote "- Pork Wiener schnitzel " in the post. I lived in Germany for 7 years, and most everytime I had it, it was Pork-based (your'e right - cause it's cheaper). ( View formatted comment » )

Danny little typo there: "Tonkatsu is pork deep FRIEND in batter.." Well, Tonkatsu Is a deep friend to me! Absolutely love it. In Germany there is an almost identical dish - Pork Wiener schnitzel - which is a traditional Austrian dish and popular part of Viennese and Austrian cuisine, consisting of a thin slice of (usually) veal coated in breadcrumbs and fried. Many Japanese tourists to Austria or Germany wonder why so many restaurants in remote villages serve "Japanese" food!! ( View formatted comment » )

Yup, trust Portugal - I also say 4 , 6 & 8 ! The others are..... a tad TOO average. ( View formatted comment » )

Won't be watching that film anytime soon. Looks pretty bad & predictable. The inclusion of Samuel L. Jackson is a worrying factor, as he has been in some terrible films recently... Anyone ever see "Unbreakable"??? What an awful movie that was... ( View formatted comment » )

Oooh, I'm speechless for once! Hot, hot, hot. ( View formatted comment » )
