Video: Men wearing colorful leggings for fashion
Men's stores in Tokyo are now selling leggings, which some guys like to wear under capris. Funny when the one woman interviewed at around 1:30 says: "I prefer men in jeans." Later on, though, another woman says, "If it looks good, I think that's fine." Related story: Boys in skirts are a new ...

Video: Funny people running in slo-mo to Nujabes song
This video features about a dozen Japanese people running like crazy — literally — in slow motion. It's quite entertaining! (Speaking of running... I just got back from running my first half marathon this morning.) The music is by Nujabes featuring Shing02. (Thanks, Larry!)

Does anyone know how long this is running? I'm flying out to Japan in a couple days, would love to see this.

Tonight in Roppongi happened already, but if you happened to have been there you would have seen the debut of this 7-meter tall aluminum fire-breathing robot called Giant Torayan. It's actually the creation of artist Kenji Yanobe, and it's part of an awesome art project that will transform the ...
saw this film earlier in japan, indeed does a great job in capturing the scary realities of japan's current economy combined with how a typical japanese family works.
