I am currently living in America right now and it sucks when I can’t get television like this. I don’t know why but I could’t stop watching these clips. The clips are filmed through a high speed camera that can slow down the frame rate of what is captured that you get a slow motion effect when you watch what you took. It’s incredible and one of those things you can only find in Japan. So until I move there I have to settle for youtube. My favorite part was the way water moves, from coming out of a balloon to its impact on the ground from the sky, at the later portion of the first clip. It’s like art and we don’t even know about it, moved me to tears, NOT, lol but still pretty cool. Videos found on Japansugoi

Kingdom Hearts Opening
Kingdom Hearts II Opening
Woot. Finally a game post. Well lets start off with one of my favorite game series of all time, Kingdom Hearts. In my opionion one of the best games ever created, combining Square Enix, creators of favorites such as the Final Fantasy game series, and Disney, those who made Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse. Now I know what you’re thinking (I think), Disney….Disney…thats like a kids thing…and I whole heartedly agree. But for some reason I don’t think the game could have been quite as good without it. Disney’s role in this game include’s supplying multiple characters, voices, and themes throughout the game with a somewhat kiddish touch. The voices, O the voices, are great. They totally match what the original Disney cast sounds like, although hearing Cloud’s voice (Final Fantasy 7) was like wow, so thats how he sounds like in their opinion. The dubbing was on cue most of the time and greatly adapted for the American release, the game originally released in Japan. This game is great, a lot of action, great story line, excellent graphics, a lot of side missions, and much more. The sequel, Kingdom Hearts II, actually didn’t come out bad, as most game sequels do, but actually improved on the first game with improved game play, extra features, and better graphics (more for the cg movies). The replay value is actually not that high, but if you played it on easy then on proud mode is going to be way different. I recommend it as a must play and own game.

Sora, the main character, from the first game, Kingdom Hearts.

Sora, from the second game, Kingdom Hearts II. He looks way more mature and he kicks major a**. Plus he’s taller. Woot for puberty.

I can’t tell who this is, the giganto round ear things sticking out of his head make him a mysterydesu.
Well I don’t know how much of you watched the new episode of bizzare foods on the travel channel. I expect about 1/1,000,000,000,000 of the world actually watched it, this number includes monkeys and dogs, don’t ask I just know. It was an alright episode in my opinion but it could have been better. About half the time he bashed on the food because it tasted too strange or looked weird to him, like sweet potato ice cream with cheese ice cream held in a hamburger bun, who hasn’t eaten that? The grubs he ate looked particularly good to me and the deep fried chicks as well. O well, can’t wait till his next episode when he goes to Morocco to eat, based on the previews I expect plenty of goats and goat brain. Oooo, exciting.
Well I am currently in college and have recently taken a huge turn in life. I don’t want to be a dentist anymore. I mean I had the will to take the job on and everything but I got kind of bored when I started working at a dental practice. I mean it would have been a great job, helping people, perhaps getting my own practice and doing things at my own time, no on call kind of thing, repetitive work, and of course the pay would have been good. But that also meant at least 6-8 years of additional schooling after high school, 8-10 years if I specialized, and thats only if I got into dental school. Well I have dropped some of the classes I didn’t need and am now trying to find some direction in life. I’m currently looking at business which requires much less schooling and results in less pay unless I become a genius at it or end up being an office drone stuck in the cubicle (no offense to those in those positions). But I am also looking at spending a couple years in Japan teaching English which has even less pay than being in business but I get to live where I always wanted to go. I have been looking around at some websites for info on it and it looks doable. Basic requirements includes knowing English, graduating with a Bachelors in college, and a short essay on why I want to teach English in Japan. But thats in a few years so I don’t have to worry much about it yet. Well class starts soon so I got to finish this. Laters.
If you have ever liked anime, manga, or giant robot fighting action; then you most likly have come across the word cosplay. Costume is the combination of costume and play, hence cosplay. Currently Japan has the most cosplayers in the world or at least the most active (my opinion, no actual statistics), you would find cosplayers walking down the streets of Shinjuku or Akihiba on the weekend just posing, walking, hanging out, and being who they are.
But this girl seen below is Arisa Mizuhara is one of the best and cutest I have ever seen do cosplay. She has done many cosplays ranging from anime and games. Her earlier photos are not as well done in my opinion, but I don’t believe she intended to cosplay continuously, but get way better in quality in her later pictures.
