Tokyo HairdressersThey do this in salons in the U.S. The purpose is to keep the water and soap from splashing into your face. Or worse, in your eyes. It's a pretty good idea considering their face is up in the air. :)
Gift Figure YokoThis product is currently sold out at Toyslogic. You may want to check Hobbyfan. I just pre-ordered mine from there. Hopefully, I'll have enough money to actually pay for it down the line in 2009. lol... hopefully.
Anime CensorshipAll I can say is I will look forward to the un-edited and un-cut version (if it's ever released in the States, like the Naruto Uncut DVD sets).
Anime SequelsI would love to see a sequel to Berserk. Such a bloody story with great animation and story. Definitely want to see the continuation of the storyline with Guts (Gatsu) and the rest of his gang in his ongoing effort to take down Griffith and his new...
Watase NozomiI really want that figure, but I will not get it, due to it being a bit too explicit for my tastes. (Where would I display that figure?) lol. But I really do like the kawai expression on her face as well as the great attention to detail especially...
Naked SushiI would love to try eating "Naked Sushi". Only one thing that bothers me is this: Wouldn't the body heat from the naked woman spoil the sushi? I see the leaves covering her private parts, but are leaves eonough to keep the sushi from spoiling? And...
More Japan StabbingsAttention seeker or troubled woman? How can someone willingly stab themselves? I notice that troubled people either seek help and don't get the necessary treatment/help they need or they hurt others. That is sad.
Starship Troopers 3ahahaha! They finally brought back the Johnny Rico character! It's about time! Too bad Denise Richards and Patrick (Doogie Howser) didn't come back as well.
Maken Ki!Just looking at the photos you've taken of the manga, those drawings are well-done and not too-over the top either. I can't wait for the English translated version to show up in the States! Thanks for the info!
Krispy Kreme TokyoKrispy Kreme donuts are sooo delicious! But I notice more and more people are staying away from donuts for obvious reasons. But indulging once in a while isn't so bad. After all, what's the point of holding out on one of life's pleasures (eating t...

Megachu FaunaVery cute figure. I finally got one on sale. I'm also surprised that this is actually from an eroge series. Had no idea. Great sculpt and paint application on this one!
Figma KanuI pre-ordered this Kanu figma. The figma joints may not look too pretty, but it gives them the extra poseability. Figma is much better than Fraulein Revoltech though. My Fraulein Revoltech Rei's shoulders keep on falling apart, revealing the mecha...
A Week in Tokyo 15I've never eaten at a conveyer belt sushi place. That is one of the top places to go when visiting Japan, if I ever have the chance to.
Sushi = makes me happy!
Overcrowding in JapanI remember interning in Korea and man during the monsoon season, being stuffed in the train can be rough (especially) when the air-conditioning can't cool down a bunch of stuffed commuters in the morning. Literally a can of sardines-type of feeling....
