I came across this awesome video blog/podcast while surfing the interweb recently. Right now this is by far my favorite weblog.
It’s basically this quirky Japanese guy who’s really into buying musical gadgets and random other things. He then records quite a comical product review. 2 thumbs up!

食べてみるとは普通の１００円 ポテトチップと全く同じだが、わさびの味が付けてあるのでちょっと辛くて美味しいです。おすすめです。
More rediculous Japanese TV.
“As part of its 150th anniversary celebration, the Japan Iron and Steel Federation got ironsmithing genius Kogoro Kurata to display his insane 1:1 scale model of the Scopedog mecha from the 80s anime series VOTOMS. Weighing in at two tons and standing a full four meters tall, it dwarfed everything else at the exhibition. The cast iron structure was actually finished in 2005 and has been on display before at other Japanese conventions…”

Eel Drink Goes On Sale For Japan’s Hot Summer
It’s the hottest season of the year in Japan, and that means it’s eel season. So, bottom’s up!
A canned drink called “Unagi Nobori,” or “Surging Eel,” made by Japan Tobacco Inc., hit the nation’s stores this month just ahead of Japan’s annual eel-eating season, company spokesman Kazunori Hayashi said Monday.
“It’s mainly for men who are exhausted by the summer’s heat,” Hayashi said of the beverage, believed to be the first mass-produced eel drink in Japan.
Many Japanese believe eating eel boosts stamina in hot weather.
Just stumbled upon this bit of genius. LOL
This is an old post that I dugg up but is worth mentioning.

Konnichwa everybody!
I just came a cross this weird interesting video podcast a few weeks ago that I thought I’d share. It’s brought to us by a Japanese news channel, and it’s called:
which roughly means “Hall of Unique Products.” It’s basically a few overly-genki ladies introducing weird and crazy products in Japan (products that even the Japanese consider strange).
For example:
The episodes are really short and the Japanese is pretty easy to understand, so it’s a quick fun way to get some Japanese practice. It’s definitely more interesting than typical Japanese TV, or most other made-in-Japan podcasts.
Check it out via one of the two links below!
So here’s some “Only in Japan” type stuff for you.
Some female coworkers showed this to me the other day. This girl does a pretty funny Beyonce impersonation. Apparently she’s become pretty famous for it.
