I’ve discovered a new J-Pop band that I really like, making it, Every Little Thing and AKB48 now the trifecta of J-pop that makes up the non-HP sector of my J-favorites. The group is called SweetS and I found a bunch of their videos and albums through this giant collection of J-Pop MegaUpload links. [...]

For those unaware, which I’m sure is quite a few, there are Japanese pop music groups made entirely of girls — some of them having anywhere from solo to upwards of 48 members. One particular collection of them, in the Hello!Project group (governed by Up-Front Agency, and includes Berryz Koubou, C-ute, and Morning Musume, [...]

Inspired by this I decided to make a brief colly of these tables in action. I’d never seen these before — I’d only played the PC versions ^_^
This one shows the hole in the middle you push all the tiles into, and how new rows that had previously been prepared for you pop right [...]

A clever way to get more revenue from J-pop concerts for music groups who consist of just singers (and no musicians who merely stand in one place and perform) — similar to America’s boybands like N*Sync or Backstreet Boys — is to make a DVD of a particular recording of the entire concert focused on [...]

I’ve been a fan of C-ute for a while now, but I can’t say their latest PV offering much followed along in the same quality as most the others have (except the Masara Blue Jeans video, not a fan). This particular tune was good but the video just never seemed to match up in [...]

Personally, I’m always interested to hear when Kudzu shows up in the news somewhere. It’s a plant that grows incredibly fast and has been known to overtake houses and cars in a matter of weeks. Kudzu is native to the Japan region and has been used in the past as a method to [...]

I’m not sure I’d like exactly everything on this list, but it’s quite possibly the largest post I’ll ever make. I was trying to find the tune “Dear My Friend” by Every Little Thing and whilst hunting came across this giant list of downloads the dude had purportedly been capable of acquiring. As a [...]

I was cruising some sites at random (this same one had an article about the English gal a few entries back) and came across this bizarre gun. I can’t read kanji, so I can’t really tell if it’s a fake or what. Anyone?

On the J-Pop spectrum, teh hotness that is Maki Goto has a family issue in the news. Apparently she has a brother (who is freakishly identical, I was unaware of this) who also sang some time ago. Here is the story, complete with three video clips and what appears may even be baby [...]

Kyoo-Toh! As much as I hate to admit swooning over a 13-y/o cutie (not in the rumpy-pumpy way, mind you), I must suggest that you, too, become undeniably hooked on the Jpop bunch known as C-ute. Check out their latest video! I have no idea what they’re saying either, but you can be [...]

More Buffalax-ification of foreign music into English subtitles. Now it’s a CG animated Transformers video. Just to warn you: Penis is a phantom juice.

There’s an interesting show I just discovered called Karakuri Funniest English, and so far I can only find the 3 popular YouTube clips below. However, there is another set of short-clip shows somewhat similar to this, produced by the Hello!Project folks, called Ayaka’s Surprise English Lesson where Ayaka goes around to various Hello!Project cuties/hotties [...]

I’d consider myself the opposite of claustrophobic — and this would probably be the best hotel room I’d ever visit. All the rest of them just seem to have too much wasted space to me. This would be great! Only downside: communal showers =P
While we’re visiting Tokyo for a bit, check out [...]
