More Wacky Japanese Stuff
I think the picture should go first and the story second. I can't figure out how to do that with a single post (any help?) so here it is in two posts:
This from the New York Times, at
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/20/world/asia/20japan.html?em&ex=1193025600&en=35c022026819f87a&ei=5087%0A
Deftly, Ms. Tsukioka, a 29-year-old experimental fashion designer, lifted a flap on her skirt to reveal a large sheet of cloth printed in bright red with a soft drink logo partly visible. By holding the sheet open and stepping to the side of the road, she showed how a woman walking alone could elude pursuers — by disguising herself as a vending machine.
The wearer hides behind the sheet, printed with an actual-size photo of a vending machine. Ms. Tsukioka’s clothing is still in development, but she already has several versions, including one that unfolds from a kimono and a deluxe model with four sides for more complete camouflaging.
Some facts:
There are around 5,000,000 vending machines in Japan.
The incidence of violent crime is one seventh the rate in the United States.
The rate of violent crime is falling.
And my favorite:
... she has sold about 20 vending-machine skirts for about $800 each...
Does anyone believe for a second that this might actually work, and not leave you standing there looking like a complete twit when the stalker rips open the fabric?
The worst part would be lugging all the bottles of soda around with you all day.
Not really, I'm sure the sales were made for the novelty value.
I wonder if she's planning to make one that impersonates the vending machine full of panties?

Maybe you need to swill your mouth...I think I have a couple of coke bottles somewhere.
Just as she conceals herself, her pursuer arrives.
Looking around... pant pant, "Damn!", sweat sweat, "I've lost her", gasp gasp, "I need a Coke", sweat sweat.

I wonder if you knew that one of the top selling sports drinks is called Pocari Sweat...
I sometimes wonder what a pocari is, and why they are so sweaty.
Meanwhile, the next installment of wacky Japanese junk is ... heart shaped bubble wrap!
(See picture)
But it doesn't end there. Popping the stuff is so much fun you can buy ...
... Pucchin Sukatto, a 10 x 10-cm bubble-wrap sheet developed purely for popping purposes. Pucchin is the description in Japanese of the sound made when you pop bubble wrap, and sukatto means to feel refreshed.
To make users feel the latter, the bubble-wrap sheets are made of special polyethylene that creates a sharper sound than your standard bubble wrap when the bubbles are burst.
Worried about the environment? take heart:
... toy maker Bandai put a key chain called Mugen Putiputi (meaning Unlimited Putiputi) on the market ..... Dangling off the key chain are eight bubbles made with a special plastic material that users can pop as many times as they wish — after being popped, they inflate, ready to go again.
But there is a serious side to all this:
"Putiputi sleeping bags are therefore very convenient when you have to stay in the office at night," Sugiyma explains. "Also, these sleeping bags can be emergency items, such as when we have earthquakes. In fact, we sent 300 bubble-wrap sleeping bags to Niigata Prefecture in 2003 when the area was struck by a big earthquake."
Heart shaped bubble wrap and square melons - I love the Japanese.

Maybe pocari means replacement.
Maybe pocari means replacement.
I've checked three dictionaries, and none show pocari. In fact you can't even write that in Japanese script - there is no "ca" syllable (use "ka" instead).
Mind you, "poka poka suru" means to feel warm, or be warm... hmmmm warm sweat .... yummy yummy yummy. :vomit:
Japan uses about 25 billion sets of disposable chopsticks per year (which is about four per person per week). Some green-minded folks prefer to carry their own reusable chopsticks, but when a girl goes out on the town, what's she supposed to do? This....

Cornhole Board:
My dad made the boards for a while. I helped him with a couple sets, which was fun. The neighbor lady would make the bags and my sis-in-law would paint them. It just got to be too much in materials as my dad would never take money for them.
Fun game though!
Someday I will have to play it.
Words of advice. Place corn bag in dominant (throwing) hand. Balance self with beer of choice in other hand. Heckling is an experience enhancer.

This friendly little mouse, with the blue condom on its head, is Pi-po-chan, the mascot of the Tokyo Police force. Piiiiii-pohhhhh is the sound Japanese police sirens make, and "chan" is a familiar version of "san". So the name translates roughly as "Wee-wah-sweetie".
Yes, the cops in a city of 32 million keep order with a mouse. RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAH!!!

That inspires fear in the heart of evil doers!
One thing that's kind of struck me as telling in Japan is the drug law. Speed and other 'uppers' carry a much lower sentence compared to marijuana use. I don't think they care what you do as long as you're nice and productive.
Shame, though. The one time I went to visit I remember telling my friends that if there was one place in the world that needed weed, it had to be Japan. It's crazy, the one connection I was able to find was a known member of the Yakuza and he charged about $500 US for an ounce. (!!!) Those folks just don't like chilling out. :headshake
Indeed, the "zero-tolerance" idea has never caught on here. Funnily, a lot of the young posers aspire to the image of the drug culture but don't actually do (can't get, possibly) drugs. There are plenty of wannabes with dope-leaf jewelry or T-shirts, but who've never smoked in their lives.
Similarly when the ecstasy set in the west were all going on the dance floor with bottles of evian, the Tokyo set were going dancing with their evian bottles... without having drugs. :lol:
Drugs are available here, if you look hard enough, but I am not risking the law here. In South Australia, possession for personal use = on the spot fine, pay at the post office, no record. Here, the cops can hold you for 21 days on suspicion without bail or a lawyer, and any conviction would cost me my job, apartment, and visa, plus probable prison time. I'll pass, thanks.

Yeah, it was risky but I was in country for ... similar activities. Did you ever read that blog about the guy that was detained for 21 days in Japan? I'll try to find it, it was an interesting look at the Japanese prison system.
That's how they keep Japan elephant-free.
Not content with heart-shaped bubble wrap, some genius came up with a bubble-wrap calendar:

Cleaning grimy highway rest stops is a job barely fit for humans, but never fear: the disturbingly cute, talking Lady Bird robot will begin scrubbing Japanese public toilets in 2009!
Lady Bird was conceived and built by a consortium of robotics companies commissioned by the West Nippon Expressway Company Limited (NEXCO).
Lady Bird features obstacle sensors that help it avoid collisions with restroom fixtures and the occasional user. Speaking of the latter, Lady Bird is designed to be cute, friendly and helpful - this is Japan, after all. It displays a smiling face and a pair of stubby antennae that enable a very unique feature: speech recognition capability via a built-in voice synthesizer. Lady Bird can make conversation if spoken to!
Don't get too excited, you won't be engaging in any philosophical discussions with Lady Bird - but you're at a highway rest stop, remember? Instead, Lady Bird gives out useful information such as the latest traffic & weather conditions updated by Internet - probably "spoken" in a childlike female voice.
Choose to ignore Lady Bird and "she" will industriously go about the business of scrubbing toilets and the surrounding areas. At 39 inches tall, 56 inches long and equipped with an on-board water tank, Lady Bird is anything but small and that goes for the price as well: a cool $30,000 per robot.
So you're staggering home from a hard night on the town, and you stop by the public toilet ... and there is this giant, glowing-eyed robot lady bird that starts talking to you in Japanese about road weather and traffic conditions .... I tell you, the Japanese don't
need drugs.

I can get round any number of toilets in a day for $30,000 thank you.
And I'll put on a childlike female voice if you like.
PM me for details!
I'm wondering how that thing possibly cleans toilets. I guess oriental, hole-in-the-ground squatting toilets? it could just, you know, roll right over those. Otherwise, it would have to hop up onto western-style toilets.
and that would be just too disturbing.
I was going to ask about the toilets there in Japan. More western style or squat type?
My only restroom experience in Japan was at Narita airport.
It was surely better than the Pakistan restrooms but much less than the US standard.
Don't even ask about the toilets here. It's scary.
I'll wait for Zen but my understanding is within homes and hotels it's mostly Western style - better than Western because they include so many added extras. But a (small) majority of public toilets are still traditional.
But then I've used hole in the ground toilets in both France and Italy, so it's not just a East/ West divide.
Yes, I've read stories about Japanese toilet accessories. Sounds like a wide variation from hole in the ground to cologne automatically sprayed on your rear when your done, sorta thing.
I see I have some homework to do. I'll get back to you with photos.
Yes, I am going to go and take photos in public toilets.
Make sure you take em after the robot's visited, okay? ;)
You realise this is how Slang started don't you? (not specifically toilets) You'll have your own photo thread before you know it...
squatting for elimination is much healthier than sitting. I imagine that a squatting toilet should be as sanitary, too, given that you don't actually sit on it.
But I suppose there'd be splashage. :(
Previous thread re squatting toilets (inc my personal experience in Siena)

Yes, I am going to go and take photos in public toilets.

Wow, surreal.
I might try that in my next English class. Lots of chorusing, rhythmic chanting, even singing, great teaching techniques.
To cap it all, did you notice the writing on their halter tops (ok, on their boobs) was in German?
And no, I'm not planning to go flashing in public toilets.
Here's the great Japanese Toilet Report.
Yes there are floor pans. I find the crouching uncomfortable and they're hell if you have a knee problem. The flushing isn't always effective and so they can be stinky. And I'm still not sure which way I'm supposed to face.
[ATTACH]16005[/ATTACH]
They also have regular wester style Crappers. This one is my bathroom, notice how everything (shower, tub, basin, toilet) is crammed into a tiny space. I just measured it: 140 x 105 x 195 (high) cm. (55 x 41 x 76 inches).
[ATTACH]16006[/ATTACH]
And of course the legendary "washlet" space-age superloo, with electrically heated seat, built-in bidet, deodorant sprayer, non-contact flushing mechanism and - on some models - a background music player to cover the sounds of splashing.
[ATTACH]16007[/ATTACH]
This is the control arm, the flusher is visible in the picture above, the green glowing light on the wall behind the control arm.
[ATTACH]16008[/ATTACH]
Both the flusher and deodorizer have manual and automatic operation - when the seat detects a big weight reduction (person stands up), it automatically deodorizes. When you move away from the unit, it flushes. It flushed and deodorized after I took these photos even though I hadn't sat on it. Maybe it figured I had taken a leak.
Furthermore, there are also urinals, but only the one person per stall types, not the long trough types. These ones have movement sensors for automatic flushing, mounted at the top ... at least, I
think that's what those little camera-looking things are!
[ATTACH]16009[/ATTACH]
Also, quite a few toilet rooms have these, and I'm still not sure what they are. I'm not going near it.

And to continue with the Asian Toilet theme for a moment:

Reuters offers the following caption:

Cool! Thanks Zen.
With the European squatter I know you are supposed to face the door (advice on a travel site I read for Brits & Merkins). As that doesn't work in your case, all I can suggest is the other way than you expect, which I what I personally learned when using one.
Re knees - I found it hell in Siena and I was (comparatively) slim then. Irony is, due to exercise I could probably squat my bulk more comfortably than I did my slimmer frame. Altough I'd need another month's training to manage doing it in heels!
Also, quite a few toilet rooms have these, and I'm still not sure what they are. I'm not going near it.
That's the slop sink, for the janitor to fill and dump cleaning buckets.
Well done on the toilets ZG.
Stuck for a Christmas present? Try
this:
Ever wonder what your dog does while you’re away? Wonder what life looks like at his level?
Wonder no more. The Wonderful Shot pet camera from Takara Tomy allows you to send your pet off to take photos of its day with a tiny and light 3.5 megapixel camera connected to its collar. You can take the photos manually anytime with the mini remote, or set the timer to take pictures at certain intervals.
Of course, Wonderful Shot is great for cats or any pet with a collar that has daytime adventures that you want to know about.
[ATTACH]16206[/ATTACH]
Or you could walk your short pup around downtown and innocently snap photos as he runs up to snorfle in young japanese schoolgirl crotches? :eyebrow:
I hadn't thought of that application ... but if I knew how to google it in Japanese, I'm sure rule 34 would apply.
Although it looks like the camera would point downwards a bit, might not work too well.
Mac mini case.... O.o
Now here's something we all need.
[ATTACH]19691[/ATTACH]
Toymaker Bandai will release in November a new gadget that recreates the sensation of ripping open the serrated top of a candy box, the company has announced.
Peel back the top of Bandai's new "Mugen Peri Peri" (endless ripper) toy to get the sensation of opening the serrated lid of a cardboard box of candies. The device, made of materials like ABS plastic and synthetic rubber, also produces the sounds of the box being opened, including the sound of the cardboard tearing.
Mugen Peri Peri is the third product in Bandai's popular "mugen" (infinite) series, preceded by the "Mugen Puchi Puchi," a virtual bubble wrap device that reproduces the sensation of popping the bubbles, and the "Mugen Edamame," a bean-shaped toy that recreates the sensation of pushing peas out of a pod. Bandai has sold 2.5 million units of the Mugen Puchi Puchi and 1.3 million units of the Mugen Edamame.
Priced at 998 yen [appx $10], the Mugen Peri Peri will go on sale Nov. 22 in a range of four colors. Considering the success of the first two models in the series, Bandai expects to sell 500,000 units of the new product by the end of the current fiscal year.
Is this as good as the remote controlled shark?
The only thing I buy that opens with a cardboard strip is pouches of catfood.
And being able to recreate that would just mean infinite guilt... I only buy them for Hely because she won't eat chicken like Diz, and I worry about the amount of additives.
The FuA-Men (Fully Automated raMen) restaurant in Nagoya, Japan features a chef and assistant — both fully autonomous robots. The robots perform all of the cooking tasks needed to make eighty bowls per day, serving the customers who come to their small shop.
When asked, customers seem to feel that there is little difference between noodle dishes prepared by real, human chefs, and meals prepared by autonomous robots. For those who appreciate precision in food preparation, you can't beat robot chefs.
"The benefits of using robots as ramen chefs include the accuracy of timing in boiling noodles, precise movements in adding toppings and consistency in the taste and temperature of the soup," said Kenji Nagaya, president of local robot manufacturer Aisei.
The two chefs also work very well together; their movements are perfectly choreographed.
SNIP
The FuA-men robotic chefs also work hard to entertain customers. They engage in manzai play, a stand-up comedy style popular in Japan. One robot pretends to threaten with a knife - the other picks up a pot lid to defend itself.
Here they are in action. Watch near the end for some impressive plate spinning and the knife bit.

Student drowns while testing concrete canoe
OSAKA -- A university student here died after a test on a concrete canoe in the Yodogawa River went disastrously awry on Sunday afternoon.
The body of Ken Kitamura, 19, was found by firefighters at the bottom of the river, about an hour after the canoe capsized. He was taken to hospital, but died shortly afterwards. Another student in the canoe managed to swim safely back to the bank.
Kitamura, a student at the Osaka Institute of Technology, built the canoe along with other members of the university's civil engineering culture research club.
Kitamura was not wearing a life jacket. Police are continuing to investigate.
Cute? Or creepy? Certainly fills a growing niche.
Japanese researchers have created a robot nurse that can lift elderly patients from wheelchairs and beds. Naturally, it looks like a giant teddy bear. Riba, short for Robot for Interactive Body Assistance, was developed by the state-run Riken research center. Promoters are calling it the world's first robot to lift people in its arms.
Riba can move patients weighing up to 134 pounds in its foam-padded paws and transfer them from beds to wheelchairs. Its cute face is designed to make the 400-pound robot less imposing. Very kawaii.
Riba can also recognize faces and voices and respond to voice commands. There are no plans for immediate commercialization, according to Riken, but it will be deployed to hospitals over the next five years.

Japanese create talking toilet
Major Japanese toilet maker Toto has created a talking commode. The new Neo model has a robotic lid that moves in time with its voice, which for some reason is male. Neo features in a series of short video ads for the Japanese market, apparently as a joke. The videos show Neo chatting with a man about everyday things like relationships and riding Japan Railways trains.
Neo 2 is designed to provide every function imaginable, a tongue-in-cheek reference to Japan's highly engineered toilets. Neo 2's ridiculously long armrest features more than 10 buttons. They can make Neo 2 tell jokes, give the weather forecast, or display an outsize bum scrubber.

The spreading epidemic of media placement seeping into every nook and cranny of your daily life is something known in the advertising industry as Ad Creep.
Well, media placement doesn't get much creepier than this.
Japanese PR company Absolute Territory has begun paying young women (18+) to wear advertising stickers on their thighs between the edge of their miniskirts and their high socks.

Are you proposing to rent out the space between your miniskirt and your knee socks? Photos please!
I knew it was going to be a kilt pic (although they're not exactly miniskirts)! :lol:
That's okay, I love kilts. I am a Scot, after all.
I bought my utilikilt when I was wearing size 36 waist. Before I blew my wrist out doing heavy presses, I had a blocky enough musculature to carry the 36 waist with a kilt worn up high on the midriff. Maybe I posted pics of me at Scarborough Faire with my heavier build and utilikilt? Maybe?
Anyways I wear a size 32-34 waist now, after an intense few months of interval training, intensely physical drumming (I figured out that stick wraps allowed me to relax my grip enough to rehab my wrists), and stress.
The point is, now I need a new kilt. But should a skinny guy even wear a kilt...???
I'm like 6 foot even, and 170 pounds at the most. Not a Highland Games build.
