Tomica is a series of miniature cars created by Japanese toy maker Takara Tomy. They have been releasing Tomica cars for over 40 years (since 1970) and they are a big collector's item throughout the world. On their official site, you can check out some of their collections. Wow, good old Honda City Turbo! This year, Tomy has released a 40 year anniversary platinum Nissan Fairlady Z. The packaging is also made of platinum, and it all costs 7 million yen. Tomy says that they will release more premium cars in this anniversary year. Wow, what is next?
Mr Ando of the Woods" is a kind of animation made by Takeshi Taniguchi. I read that this animation became hot on YouTube recently, but it was originally released 4 years ago in this open Art TV. (I guess) I don't know what I can say, but I enjoyed reading people's reactions in the comments. I like this "what did i just watch? a metaphor of? yourself." ha ha ha ha
Another video that I enjoyed reading the comments section of is this Satsugai song from "Detroit Metal City." Satsugai means "kill," ha ha ha it's a pretty crazy joke.
Ah; the DMC live-action movie was shown in Australia at the Japanese film festival last year... so silly orz
