Strange food-themed items:
I wrote that Groupon Japan was hot during the New Year's holiday because the Osechi they sold was so crazy bad that Groupon's CEO apologized in a web video. Someone with great technique made a model of the terrible osechi set. Pretty good job!
But this is a no-good, very scary Pikachu dessert (if this was a cake, I would tell cake wrecks).
On Feb 3rd, the ASAHI newspaper had this ad: "ARASHI meets Manga", where the members of the most popular boy band in Japan were transformed into manga characters by famous manga artists. Each Arashi member has appeared in one of those artists' works. Nino was a voice actor on Taiyo Matsumoto's anime Tekon Kinkrete. Sho Sakurai acted in the movie version of Honey and Clover by artist Chika Umino. Matsujun acted in the TV version of Hanayori Dango by Yoko Kamino. Aiba was drawn by Bartender author Kenji Nagatomo. Satoshi Ohno was transformed by Kaibutukun's Fujio Fujiko. Compared to the other four members, Ohno-kun looks so-so :-) and people are saying "I feel so sorry for Ohno". But I have never heard of anyone who was drawn by Fujiko Fujio, one of the biggest manga artists in Japan, so I think that Ohno was actually the luckiest guy this time.
