Ideal and Reality: The Real Tower Cheese Burger Looks Terrible When Compared to Its Ad

Image
Lotteria, a fast-food chain popular in Japan, started to sell a giant tower burger that looks awesome in the above image; despite its hugeness, its somehow organized and looks standing upright perfectly. There would be nothing to complain about only if it stays the same way when it's served to your table.  As always, the reality ruins everything. The below image is something you will get when you order the tower burger. Sticky, dirty, stinky... I have no idea how to eat this monster meal. Hopefully, I don't want to get my hands dirty with its sticky cheese and fats but it seems inevitable. Do you want to try it? You might also like this post Via: Hamusoku

Only in Japan: How to Play with a Party Doll

Image
If you're a fan of Japanese anime, this video probably reminds you of a legendary series, Ghost in the Shell. The video is an introduction video of what is called "party doll," and it is used as a drink server that lets you pour the contents of the doll from its right breath by squeezing the left breath. It's ridiculous but it's somehow not bad. What do you think? You might also like this post Via: YouTube

Christiano Ronald Was Puzzled by a TV Host's Strange Behavior

Image
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, known as Cristiano Ronaldo, is a Portuguese soccer player who currently plays as a forward for Spanish club Real Madrid. Recently he made an appearance on a Japanese TV show where he was apparently confused at the sight of the weird behavior of a Japanese TV host. At the show, Ronaldo was asked how he got the muscle, and he introduced a special fitness equipment to train your facial muscle. A Japanese TV host who was given the equipment tried it himself as soon as he got the new toy; but the way he uses it obviously annoyed Ronalso in every way, especially his facial expression that remind me of getting high by smoking something illegal.

Social Experiment: Holding Japanese Girls' Hands on the Streets

Image
There has always been a belief in Japan that what white people do is always right. Especially, Japanese girls are attracted to white men because they believe that hanging-out with a white man makes them stand-out from all the rest of other girls who ended up hanging-out with Japanese boys.. Here is an example video that gives you an idea how Japanese girls are careless to a white man, and it also shows such a racial advantage white men have when compared to other races. Now I wonder what would happen if an Asian or black man did the same thing as he did. Any thoughts? You might also like this post Via: YouTube

No War, No Fascism! 1,200 Tokyoites Organized Anti-Fascism Demonstration

Image
“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”  ―  Rumi Tokyo, July 5th, more than 1200 volunteers came together to amplify their voice on their own way to let the world know what is going on in the politics, urging the public to fight against the current government led by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who has an immoderate passion for violating Japan's pacifist Constitution that has been kept the use of military force to the minimum. Amid the awkward media silence, what they did really mattered. If they don't we do. The below tweet says: "By using media that are repeatedly broadcasting World Cup news, they obviously district the public attention from things that really matter: constitutional amendment of the collective defense, covering-up cervix cancer vaccine problem and the reality people in Fukushima faces." マスコミを使い、国民の視線を「拉致とサッカー」に向けさせ陰で集団的自衛権を進め、子宮頸がんワクチン問題を隠し、被災地と福島情報は流さない、この国が民主主義国家だと?。ファシズム許すな!安倍政権打倒デモ@新宿 - 2014...

The Shame of Japan: This Complete Idiot lol

Image
Politicians are idiot. Yeah, we all know that and that's universal. Here is another example: an idiot, who is now rumored to be psychopath, was historically crying in a talk with reporters. Ryutaro Nonomura, 47, was accused of wasting public money on visiting hot spring  more than 100 times a year . And here is a problem, he didn't have any receipt to proof his visits on the facilities. We don't expect him to use our common sense anyway... Because of his wasting public money for his personal joy, he was forced to apologize during the press conference live on TV, where he shouted nonsense phrases, weeping like a baby. He closed his Twitter account a day after the legendary pres-conference and now he has nowhere to go, but leave his job - no one knows what kind of job he got done though.

Japan's Militarization and Awkward Media Silence

Image
The reinterpretation of Japan's pacifist constitution, typified by Article 9 that has kept the use of force to the minimum over 60 years, now allows the state to defend its allies under armed attack in collective self-defense even when Japan itself is not. The sudden departure from its post-war security policy amid awkward media silence caused a stir across the nation due to the fact that the drastic change would leave room for further reinterpretation of the Constitution and expand the use of force without clear limits. The strong trend toward militarism has been pushed forward by notorious Prime Minister Shinzo Abe who strictly believes the state must be a proactive contributer to global peace and security and enforce the defense capabilities of Self-Defense Force (SDF). He added that this is an expected response to the regional security threats Japan faces, especially for deteriorated relationship with its neighbors, including China, South and North Korea and Russia. It,...

Music of the Day#1: Clean Bandit - Rather Be

Image
A UK band, Clean Bandit filmed their music video, Rather Be, in Tokyo last year, and that was the very first experience for them to film their work so far away from their home country. The most challenging scene, according to them, was filming on a train, where they made a lot of noise. Despite such troubles, they were able to film the great music video with the help of Japanese extras (more precisely, fans) who responded to their announcing to film their music video in Tokyo to participate in the activity.  I think I'm going to be their fan as well.
