The guy who writes the blog Tokyotimes published some interesting Tilt-Shift photos on his site the other day. You might remember from a past post that I love those kind of shots.
Worth noting in this case though, is that they are all taken (and post-processed) with an iPhone! Mighty impressive work if you ask me.

Generally speaking, getting fired from a Japanese company is virtually impossible. Although, I do want to stress that due to the recent worldwide economic downturn, even Japanese companies have changed a bit in that sense. I do believe though, that when we see an upturn again and the Japanese economy gets better, most companies will [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;re in the middle of a huge O-Warai (大笑い i.e. &#8220;Big Laugh&#8221;, meaning comedy usually in stand-up/skit form) boom which has continued basically since sometime in 2007 when the likes of Kojima Oshio (Oppapi) and Harisenbon. It seems that what Japanese people like to do the most is to laugh; because there seems to be [...]]]></description>

Privately, however, we all shop (or have shopped) furniture at IKEA, praising them for [...]]]></description>

In answer to the poll &#8220;What foreign TV series do you want to view thoroughly this summer holiday?&#8221;, in itself not such a strange question, there were some in my opinion highly unexpected results &#8211; please see below:
1. Full House
2. Bewitched
3. Columbo
4. 24
5. ER
6. Dae Jang-geum (Korean)
7. X-Files
8. Winter Sonata (Korean)
9. Knight Rider
10.Beverly Hills 90210

&#8230;at least that must be the case, since I only scored 6 out of 10 correct in National Geographic&#8217;s Tokyo Quiz.
It started out easy, and my being full of conceit, thought to myself that this is will be a walk in the Ueno Park so to speak; but no&#8230; They really threw some difficult questions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The best commercials on Japanese TV recently are the coffee commercials, in my opinion (that is, if you don&#8217;t include the Softbank commercials, of course, since they are in a class by themselves)
Lately, two coffee brands stand out; JT Roots and Georgia.　
Here&#8217;s my current favorite JT Roots commercial:
