Domokun

Waaa Cute!! I love House Martin series. Bright Idea is cute too.

Domo kun is a character of NHK Network. What is he? I don't know, he is a strange creature who likes rice. His TV animation is getting popular and is aired in 64 countries in the world. Here is an official site.

Softbank will release a transformers-like cell phone 815TPB. Its main feature is the cell phone transforms into a robot with special parts and also the robot will talk to its owner because it is an intelligent learning type. This post tell the details of features. I think the Char type was a good idea. But this??? I don't think so.

Ha ha ha. This is funny. I mentioned SMAP is a very very popular idol group in Japan but they sing soo bad, tooo bad, they could never improve their singing ability. Actually I almost get a headache when hearing their songs. But since they are so super popular group in Japan, their bad singing was a sort of an untouchable issue. However, I read this funny article. TOTO guitarist Steve Lukather got mad at their singing when he appeared on SMAP's variety show SMAPxSMAP.

Nifty Portal Z has a funny post today. I picked food samples in my blog sometimes, they're food samples for display in the show window of restaurants. We can see them everywhere in Japan, but I have never seen them in foreign countries. (Tell me if you have them in your country.) By the way, since the samples are made from wax, of course we can't eat them, but she tried to make edible food samples with good ideas. Put some oil on Sushi and it looks like a food sample. Gelatinated Curry looks like a food sample. And frozen pasta looks like a food sample (yes, this one!). Ha ha, funny.

There is a funny story about the VA for Belldandy in Ah, Megami-sama! (Inoue Kikuko)

Apparently she has a habit of touching the food displays outside restaurants... she has had a couple of shocks when the samples turn out to be real! (^_^);

SMAP = Menudo = Backstreet Boys = Mickey Goofy Donald SpongebobSquarepants Shin-chan ~ no matter where they come from or what language they sing, they all look and sound the same to me (#-#)

Food samples: I loooooved those in Japan! You never have to guess at what you actually get for the $$$! In the US, restaurants hire some froo-froo fancy menu writer and the customer is left to ask "where's the beef!?" ;)

In Japan, at places where my Nihongo was too horrible and understandably no-one spoke very good Eigo, via communication with polite gestures ^-^; the waitstaff were always kind enough to come out front so I could just point to whatever I wanted to order. I had some great donburi that way!
