Tasty Jams – Chicken Attack
Art – Goldfish Salvation by Riusuke Fukahori
This beautiful video of Riusuke Fukahori drawing goldfish in objects is mesmerizing. Using some kind of magic, he makes these 2D paintings come to live with amazing amounts of detail. Do enjoy.
Your WTF for the year – Pizza Boomerang (NSFW)
I really don’t get this video but I suppose that may be the point. Check out the Pizza Boomerang and also be careful as there is a very out of place scene involving a penis being chopped off.
Web Short – Prison Dancer: The Interactive Musical
So you may remember those videos of the prisoners doing elaborate dance numbers which turned out to be forced labor by the prison guards. Well someone has taken it upon themselves to create a new web series based upon those … Continue reading
Web Short- Tokyo Slo-Mode
Tilt-shift + Thom Yorke + Tokyo = awesome. TOKYO SLO-MODE from alex lee on Vimeo.
Your WTF for the day – Backstreet Anime/RL sync up
It was kind of hard to decide what to call this video, but I think that is the most appropriate name. It does not do the video justice, so you should just watch it instead of reading any of this.
Your WTF for the day – Japan Erection (NSFW)
I’m not sure how this got around Youtube’s indecency clauses, so it may be taken down eventually. I don’t want to really spoil the insane surprise this video offers, but I will warn you that you are about to see … Continue reading
Tasty Jams – Alice in Musicland
This is the first I’ve heard of Vocaloid and I must say it is impressive what they managed to do with it. If you are a fan of cute things, chibi, Alice in Wonderland, musicals, Asian music or if you … Continue reading
Your WTF for the day – Pon Pon Pon
It’s been too long since I found something insane from the Asian culture. It’s like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory meets Pee-Wee Herman’s worst nightmare.
Your WTF for the day – Sepak Takraw
Kind of like a Volleyball-hackey sack hybrid, this sport seems entirely too difficult for Americans to play. Very entertaining to watch though.
Tasty Jams – Jurassic Park Theme by Japanese Guitar Orchestra
I have to admit that one movie that always brings me back to the bliss of childhood has always been Jurassic Park, so I will look for any excuse to post something related. This just happens to be pretty epic … Continue reading
Educational – Granny with a condom (NSFWish)
If the title doesn’t throw you, the concept will. Apparently men refuse to wear condoms in some Asian countries, so the prostitutes have to find clever ways of applying it without them knowing. This older woman demonstrates that very feat. … Continue reading
Your WTF for the day – Running school children
The title is seemingly innocent enough, until you realize that all 31 of the kids are attached to each other as if in some huge 3 legged race that’s more like a 31 leg race. This looks so fun and … Continue reading
Trashed Idea – LED Grills
Uhhh. Apparently this is a new trend in Japan. Because having your mouth glow like some strange cave insect is sexy?
Your WTF for the day – Japanese toilet
Ever wanted to be in a toilet room that yodels at you and kisses your ankles?
Your WTF for the day – Eat Like a Snake
A bizarre commercial from Burger King in Japan, I think. Uhhhh…
Trailer – The Warrior’s Way
This probably won’t be a great film, but something has to be said for the premise. It’s not as timeless as the rivalry between pirates and ninjas, but cowboys vs. ninjas still has some appeal.
Role Model – The Grin
Hard to believe this video has over 1 million views, but then again…
Your WTF for the day – Crippled Masters
This happens to be the final fight scene from a kung-fu film entitled, The Crippled Masters. From this scene alone, I know no other kung-fu movie can touch it.
Animation – Out of Sight
An absolutely adorable Japanese animation about a girl who loses her dog and goes on an adventure to find him. Very similar to Miyazaki‘s work, the guy behind Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke.
