How Can Japanese Sumo Survive?

Via Next Media Animation TV December 27, 2012

For the past 10 years or so, professional Japanese Sumo wrestling has seen a steady decline in popularity as it has suffered from fixed matches, links to organized crime, bar room brawls in Roppongi, a marijuana scandal and illegal gambling on baseball etc. The failure to produce a Japanese superstar wrestler has also driven away many long-term fans as well.

So how can Japanese Sumo survive? Well, Taiwan's Next Media Animation TV has some funny ideas:

Last week the very hot Japanese model Mitsu Dan engaged in a super sexy promotion of the DVD release of "Safe House" or "Dangerous Run デンジャラス・ラン" (Japanese title) at the Hotel Ibis in Roppongi, Tokyo. During her promo appearance, Dan called herself “Dangerous Dan” and answered some "dangerous" questions in like fashion. On which movie star would she like to have a date with she replied “I’d like to make out with Ryan Reynolds while being spanked by Denzel Washington.” And in case you may now be somewhat interested in this promiscuous promoter, she is currently starring in the Japanese film entitled "Be My Slave" or 私の奴隷になりなさい in which she plays the role of an office lady (OL) turned sex slave.

VPN's "Midnight Cooking" Enka TV Show

Vermillion Pleasure Night was a very funny, offbeat late-night TV comedy show that was so popular some DVDs of the show were released as well as a CD of the show's many soundtracks. In addition to that, a complete collection of all the Vermillion Pleasure Night show segments was released in early 2009. For a TV show that was only on the air for about a half year in 2000, that's really something special, indeed.

In this short skit, two beautiful Japanese "cooking teachers" ham it up while singing karaoke-style enka and showing us how not to prepare seaweed soup, pickles and curried rice on VPN's "Midnight Cooking" TV segment. This version includes English subtitles and will probably be taken down soon so check it out!

From Emotionless Japan "Tailly" Is Unveiled

In the past two years or so, we have seen some really creative, high-tech Japanese "communication" devices unveiled like Japan's New Communication w/ Yourself Invention, Japanese Cats Ears For "Communication" and Japanese Virtual Web Sex Technology which features the "PenisTron" and a "Communication Hole Rider" that allows users to anonymously experience virtual sex via the internet. It's all somewhat complicated but apparently we humans "can still have sex because it's just data." O.O

Now a company known as Kiluck, which handled the production of the “necomimi” or "cat's ears", brings us the all new excitement communication device known as "Tailly", the tail that wags when you get excited! This has to be seen to be believed:

From Kiluck's official kickstarter page we found the following description: "Tailly is a wearable wagging tail which reacts to the user’s heart rate. When you wear Tailly, you’ll radiate cuteness and happiness!"

Mmmmmkkkaaaayyy, so what about just smiling, laughing and actually saying your true feelings instead?

Nope.

Why?

Because Japan.

We expect this device to become very popular, very quickly in Japan when released. It will be available in various colors:

Flying Japanese Salarymen To The Rescue!

Japan is good at defying the law of gravity. You may recall the

Natsumi Hayashi- internet's most attractive levitating lady

Yowayowa Camera Woman aka Natsumi Hayashi who first started out with Japanese cat photos and then become the internet's most attractive levitating lady!

Now Rocket News 24 has reported on some Flying Japanese Salarymen To The Rescue!

Actually this is part of a new photo album entitled "Flying Has Changed My Life – Solaryman" by award-winnning photographer Yuki Aoyama on sale on December 12th for 1260 yen (US $15.33). About this latest collection, Aoyama said this:

After the Tohoku earthquake last year, I put my photography project on hold, but continued to upload photos of flying salarymen that I had already taken to Twitter and other Internet sites. My photos were reblogged and shared thousands of times and gained a lot of buzz all over the Internet. At the same time, Japan was facing hard times after the earthquake, its people at a standstill. I thought maybe if people saw my photos of energetic office workers, happily flying through the air, it would lift everyone’s spirits and inspire the people of Japan to persevere through a difficult time.

To me, this was just one of thousands of photographing projects I’ve taken on, but to everyone else, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity that would turn into a lasting memory. With that in mind, the workers I photographed earnestly tried their best while having their picture taken.

You can purchase this and other photo albums by Yuki Aoyama on his internet store. And be sure to see more of Aoyama's work on his official website.
