Kewpie doll collections

Foreign topic first. I like this news; "Indian police seeks geeks". Look at this Hammy...cute

Softbank collaborated with PANTON, and they released 20 colors for cellphones. (actually mine is PANTON) Customers would like it, but it makes harder for shops to control their inventory. Toshiba started to release such color variations of audio player "giga beat". The point is their color variation is based on 24 Japanese traditional colors. They have just released the first 5 colors, you can check them in this nice special site. I will pick this site when they finish releasing all colors. I wrote about Japanese colors in this old post. Color names came from nature and food, it's impressive.

Small costumed Kewpie dolls are funny and cute items in Japan. Recently, TV-character collaboration series were released. Oh cute! I like Yokai ningen Bem and Ge ge ge no kitaro series. Did you find them? How many characters you can tell? Such Kewpie dolls are sort of collector's item, this shop sells over 300 kinds of costumed Kewpie. Snow White, Tut Ankh Amon, Natto, Mayo, Beer etc. But is this okay? Police car and Edamame...weird. They don't have but I think Bakatono (what is bakatono?) and Mario are cute.

Sega Joypolice is an indoor amusement park in Odaiba. They opened the U.S TV show 24(twenty hours) attraction. It's a time attack simulation game like the Gundam Crisis. To be honest with you, I have never seen the show. Should I check it?

Also I have never eaten a Megamac. Japan McDonalds has a campaign "how to eat megamac" with some well-known manga artists, they show manga artists's idea and also ask for ideas on the site. I thought I can't eat such high calories food though, we can share it as a party food like this, that's a good idea? Or you can eat it like this as if it's a hamburger dinner with salad and bread. That's funny.

Geeks once said they will rule the world one day. Seems like it's happening already, we need them! ;)

Hey, Mari, this is unconnected, but: someone just told me about the concept of hansei, and how americans don't really know what it is. Would you make a post about it? I feel like it's hard to understand.
(Thank you!)
