As an early listener of the full length audio release, I have come to really appreciate this slow, mysterious tune in its expression of the lifestyle of a very busy model/singer and her music team. More than just an "an ode to the toy" this song features some interesting English, Spanish and Japanese lyrics in an abstract array describing some hasty preparations and inner feelings leading up to a fictional mishmash＊Julie Watai TV debut. Also featured is Furby's hacked voice that babbles some cute and funny electronic phrases in English and "Furbish". Additionally, in the video we get to see Julie-san wearing some sexy lingerie by Neon Opera Tokyo. mishmash＊Julie Watai is Toyoaki Mishima, Julie Watai and Masu Hiroshi Masuyama. Be sure to download this group's popular mp3 songs from Amazon, Ototoy and iTunes.

Japan's Mount Fuji Chaotic Eruption Warning

Via ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) October 13, 2012

After three centuries of peace, scientists are now predicting that Japan's Mount Fuji could soon have an eruption. Recently there have been other volcanic eruptions in other countries that previoiusly had magnitude nine earthquakes. Because of that, the chances of a Fuji flare up are increased since last year's 9.0 magnitude earthquake in Fukushima. Apparently the government of Japan is aware of this, but has done little in preparation for this potentially massive natural disaster. Below is a recent NTDTV news video on this current issue:

Because China: Wife Stands on Husband When Shopping

Here is another funny photo of a Chinese wife standing on her husband's back while shopping at the local grocery store. One could imagine other alternative ideas to this somewhat risky "slave zone" option, like getting help from the store's staff et al. But, instead, we can only wonder "Why?" and then reply with "Because China".

WTF KFC Japan Sells Chicken w/ Watermelon?

Via Japan Is Weird

At first look through Western eyes, this photo of a KFC Japan'a Colonel Sanders statue holding a watermelon slice appears to be somewhat racist. And, of course, there is no racism in Japan because there is only one race in Japan, right? Well, to be fair it is customary for Japanese to eat watermelon during the blazing heat of the summers. So whaddya think?

Because China: People's Liberation Army in Action!

For many years up until 2001, the U.S. Army recruited young men and women with the well-known phrase of "Be All You Can Be". And prior to that they used the phrase "Today's Army Wants to Join You" to attract new GIs to the ranks. Well the above WTF photo of China's People's Liberation Army in action suggests that the Chinese may have also borrowed those same US recruiting slogans, right?!?!

NOPE.

Because China.

John Lennon & George Harrison Japan 1966

Here is a rare photo of John Lennon and George Harrison tuning up their guitars backstage in Tokyo, Japan in 1966. From June 30 to July 2 of that year, the Beatles performed five concerts at the Nippon Budokan indoor arena in Tokyo. Of course, all the shows were sold out and the live television broadcasts captured an incredible 60% audience rating. These concerts were the first musical events ever held at the Budokan arena, which was originally dedicated for the competition of traditional martial arts. These landmark shows also inspired many young Japanese to start playing guitars and the biggest ever Japanese rock band revolution soon followed. That movement forever changed the direction of the Japanese popular music scene.

Perhaps the above photo was taken prior to the start of this show:

Here is a beautiful photo of the Red Beach near Panjin City, China. The beach is part of the Liao River delta about 30 kilometers southwest of the city. The Red Beach gets its name from the seablite plants that start growing green in Spring and gradually turn red and then become a bright vivid red color in Autumn. Most of this beach is closed to the public as it is a part of the Shuangtai Hekou Nature Reserve. Only a small section is open to tourists who visit this popular natural attraction in the Liaoning Province of China.

Japanese Nuke Protesters vs Japanese Police

XXX Large Size

Here is a truly incredible photo of some Japanese nuclear protesters standing right up against the Japanese police. Notice how some of the protesters are sharing their umbrellas with the cops! Amazing.

Also today the independent parliamentary committee known as the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (FNAIIC) released a highly critical report which concluded that the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear disaster was “man-made” and the result of “collusion” between Japan’s regulatory bodies and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). This report also "blames Japanese culture for the fundamental causes of the disaster" and comes at a time when it could further inflame the overall distrust of the government and significantly empower the anti-nuclear movement in Japan. On Sunday, the Ohi nuclear plant was switched back on against widespread anti-nuclear sentiment and protests that continue in Tokyo.
