An old video apparently by Takashi Murakami - Inochi Kun seems to be doing the rounds on the Internets of late.

Not sure what happened to these 5 year old concept videos of an alien school boy called Inochi-kun...

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

Aww, looks a wee bit freakish, Takashi Murakami or not - I bumped into him last year in a shop in Broadway Nakano, and famous as he is he was shopping just like a regular dude, very cool.

The girls don't want people peeping, but left their windows wide, wide open. Is that normal?

...Yes, that part of the video caught my attention as much as Inochi-kun did if not more. What? It's a valid concern.

btw, my surname is also Murakami. xD But it's a pretty common japanese surname, not related.
