I love this post very very much. I will say "it's too 無茶苦茶 (Muchakucha da!)." The meaning of muchakucha will be close to foolhardy or reckless. The origin of "無茶苦茶"(Muchakucha) means "no tea, bitter tea." To serve no tea for a guest or to serve bitter tea to a guest, it turned into the meaning foolhardy.
And I like this article. The Japan Judo team has special training "see with the eyes of your heart"...Huh, interesting. I remember Nifty Portal Z had a silly post "life of Tomodachi" (20th century boy).
I really like this Heinz's ad series "Without Heinz"; Egg, Steak, Hotdog and French fries. ( I really like this Heinz ad too.) In Japan, Heinz is not so popular. Some said the bottle is too big for the Japanese. Kagome is the most popular brand and Kagome is well known as a veggie juice brand. Here are their veggie juice TV ads "Hamburger" and "Bento". The message is "take more vegetables."
Talking about paper craft, in Harajuku, the paper craft exhibition is held now. You can see Katsura Rikyu (I really like that place. It has traditional modern taste. Here is a video with subtitles.), Tokyo Station, Nikko Toshogu (it is the grave of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Some said it is a power spot and protected Edo (tokyo) in feng shui.) etc. and also buy the craft there.
On the Internet, some sites have great free paper craft. In the Yamaha official site, you can download a great bike collection like this and this. In the Canon official site, they have various kinds of paper craft like Himeji castle and Lucky cat. I will try this pop-up card. This is the blog of free paper craft collections. He collect crafts from the world! Check it out.
