  World of Golden Eggs

  02.01.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  This is The World of Golden Eggs. I first saw this in a CD shop and stood in front of it laughing my ass off. There are subtitles in the original so I could follow it. A definite recommendation. I’m so glad I could find it on Youtube even if the subs are a bit [...]

  Best Japanese Advertising Campaigns 2007

  12.27.07 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  I read an article in the Japan Times about the best Japan-related internet stories of 2007. The advertising campaigns caught my attention. Unsurprisingly most of them completely passed me by including Uniqlock the quirky flash based clock you can have as a blog widget for Japanese clothes outlet Uniqlo that’s playing above. Also is the [...]

  The butt-biting insect. Perhaps the most bizarre thing I have seen in the 3 years I’ve been on this island. Isabelle loves it.

  Proposal Daisaukesen

  07.14.07 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  I`m not normally a fan of Japanese manga, anime or dramas but I recently got sucked into watching an 11 part drama called Proposal Daisukusen (Operation Love) and loved it. The story is about a man who`s in love with his childhood friend. Unfortunately he`s attending her wedding to another man. A male fairy appears [...]

  Johnny Depp Scary performance

  06.14.07 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  Saw this on TV and just found it via TV in Japan. An almost sinisterly creepy performance for Johnny Depp promoting his third Pirates of the Caribbean movie by three very young and talented girls. Stick around for the second part.

  7 years and no Japanese

  03.09.07 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  Thanks to Japan Probe, I came across a YouTube video of a Japanese programme I’d seen on TV. It is about Japanese who marry foreigners. It was about a slightly ditzy Australian woman who’d been in Japan for 7 years yet still could not speak Japanese. She needs her husband to help her with buying [...]

  Yet another reason why Pythgoras Switch is the best children’s programme ever.

According to Wikipedia soramimi means a word used in the Japanese language to describe lyrics of a song that sound [...]

  Gemma Ward Indivi

  12.17.06 | Permalink | Comment?

  I’ve written about famous people doing adverts in Japan before but I like this one of Gemma Ward for the Japanese fashion brand Indivi. I’ve never heard of Gemma Ward but this surreal advert set in a fairytale wood with magical speaking creatures appeals to me. What I like the most about it is the [...]
