Some news from Tokyo

Architect Kisho Kurokawa died. He was famous for his architect thought, he was busy with politics. ご冥福をお祈りします。

I will visit my parents home tomorrow, and I am thinking I will buy a cake. The best cake shop around my home is Lilien Berg. Their cakes are nice of course, but their shop is really cute. It's like a Hobbit house!!

Kazuo Umezu is a horror manga writer, I wrote about him first in this horror make up post. But he is well know for comedy gag manga "Makoto chan" too, and his trade mark is red and white stripe. He lives in a rich area of Kichijoji. He was building a new house in the same area, but the people living in this area filed a provisional disposition about a suspension of building with the court because he painted the house with white and red stripes and set the big makoto chan face with a runny nose drop on the roof. Today the provisional disposition was rejected. :-) But I understand the neighbors feelings too. I don't want to see big snot from my window.

Kouki Kameda, Daiki Kameda, they are younger brother and father. "The Kameda family" is famous for their big mouth, bad talking the opposition and arrogant attitude. In Japan, such types have fallen into disfavor. Daiki Kameda said he would do harakiri if he lost a world title match yesterday. Then? he lost, in very shameful way. People got angry about the match. The worst part is his older brother, champion Kouki Kameda, gave this dirty advise "crash his eyes" in round 12. Here is the video in Youtube. orz....He is just 18 years old, he can be strong. Winning by breaking the rules is worthless. I have no idea how the family can think like that. There are many such rude people in the media recently. This kind of news makes me want to stay away from TV.

Narrow buildings - how do some of those buildings remain standing in strong wind or a typhoon or an earthquake??? Abunai desuka...

Rude people (suck) ;) - nobody does rude better than Americans...I am sooooo tired of it. One of the major reasons I want to live in Japan! I think even some of the rudest Japanese are probably far more polite than a lot of Americans! The Kameda brothers could take lessons from Mike Tyson...(in a major boxing match several years ago, he bit off a chunk of his opponent's ear!)
