Uploaded this a while ago but I forgot about it and set it to private ^^;

 title=

Another worldwide broadcast - this time its the BBC which follows the CNN broadcast. Very short compared to my CNN piece but I'm pleased with it ^^;
You can jump to 03:00 at YouTube or watch the whole thing below which includes comrade Michael from Cscout. Also at the 09:28 mark in hyper mode.


 title=

A couple of photos taken on the day of the shoot in the Shibuya post.

The clump of white hair looks like birds droppings.

It was big n bouncy n juicy - I had to hold them back like his to prevent suffocation.

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.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    some people will really find it hard to "get" the idea of pop culture as an actual draw for business. don't know if I should feel sorry for the poor reporter, who neither understands the idea of anime and manga being so prevalent in the Japanese psyche, nor that a mobile phone can be made into something more than a communications device.

    I hope the RFID technology can be exported more efficiently here.

    Although, right now, mobile phones are key to the typhoon relief efforts - that's something other countries can pick up on, yeah? So with the keitaidenwa-as-wallet idea.

    The RFID idea seems incredibly disturbing. Companies are already monitoring purchase trends through credit cards, etc. and that's bad enough as it is. The idea that someone can monitor what I touch, pick up, have purchased, like, and where I go through a tracking chip/device is really invasive. I sincerely hope this idea doesn't catch on.

    And yes, the guy has no idea "crossplaying" is slightly different from what he actually meant. =^_^=
