Poor little bugger must have been hungover! I typically get grossed out by insects and the like, but I find this story refreshingly adorable.
Shizzurp
I found this guy crawling around on the street outside of our house in West Tokyo. He struggled mightily when I plucked him from certain doom by footstep, apparently unaware of our fine tradition of bringing large insects into the house and feeding them before setting them free. Kabuto-mush...
Not that anyone cares, but my ex-boyfriend's self-dubbed nickname was panda, because, well, he looked like one. Big, fat, and lazy. This video sums him up perfectly.
This panda has an itchy butt
That's all. I think it's funny how the guys taking the video are trying to decide if what the panda is doing is strange, or if it's perfectly normal that it has an itch to scratch.
Is it bad that I kind of want to work at a maid café? :x
New maid cafe lets you custom-dress girls and get slapped in the face
A new concept cafe opens in Akihabara on October 4th. It's called Cute Room, and it promises clients a 2.7-dimensional fantasy world — basically, something in between 2D and 3D, but getting closer and closer to 3D. From what I can tell from the web site, the difference between this and other ...

Now I want onigiri.
The Obsessive Compulsive Combini Man
Right Place is a short film about a combini clerk with OCD, directed by Sophia University grad Kosai Sekine. It won the Young Directors Award/Best Short Film at Cannes last year. It's awesome! It's like watching Monk on ABC, except OCD is much better depicted when there's less talking and le...
This video is absolutely fabulous! Matsuda-san is completely beside herself! Hahahah, poor Rupert must feel super awkward being with this lone super-fangirl.
Harry Potter fangirl's hilarious interviews with Ron and Harry
A popular variety TV show called Sanma no Karakuri TV had a contest where 10,000 Japanese Harry Potter fans competed for a chance to fly to the UK, visit the set of the HP movies, and interview Ron and Harry. The winner was a high school girl named Kana Matsuda. Here's a hilarious clip of her...

I never thought it could get better than Gap, but this would unlock so much potential.
Uniqlo might buy the GAP
One of my all-time favorite stores in Japan is Uniqlo &mdash it's like the GAP, except the styles and cuts are a lot more contemporary and its cheaper. Now we're hearing that Tadashi Yanai, the guy who founded UNIQLO and the richest guy in Japan according to Forbes, might be buying the GAP. Lin...
土曜日 made me wince in pain.
