My friend bought Billy's boot camp. I read he is well know as the Tae-bo guy in the U.S. Since last year, his boot camp DVD has been sold in TV shopping and it's a very hot topic among the people. Actually my American friend didn't know him, but most of my Japanese friends know him. I am thinking to start basic training. The exercise seems so hard though.
Rinpaeshidan is an art group, their 1 week of art work is draw on drawing project. The video on YouTube has a lot of access. Here is their site. It is very fun to see.
As a Japanese Curry chain shop, Coco Ichian is well known in Japan. (Their June special is Sukiyaki Curry?!) You can find Coco Ichi anywhere in Tokyo and eat Japanese thick curry. Ishikawa is the prefecture where NY Yankees Matsui came from. And in Ishikawa, there is the local curry chain "Go Go Curry" (oh oh...great design) which is well known for its big size curry. The owner of Go Go Curry is a big fan of Matsui, and actually does shop stuff while wearing a Yankees cap (Go Go means 55 in Japanese). Then finally he opened a shop in NY on May 5th. Until 5:55 in the evening they will have a discount Go Go time and when Matsui hits a Home Run they will make another discount. The shop is near Times Square, check it out.
I read something about tae bo not being realistic for fighting. Well, I guess it is good exercise? I think one criticism I read was you don't leave your leg extended after delivering a kick. Instead you are suppoosed to retract your leg. Same thing with a punch.

Sou yo! Tae bo is really addictive -- just don't do the Bootcamp until you master the Basic level first! Ganbatte ne!
