Dude…dude

Okay, simply, fuck you dude. I get Japan is a tight place and space is at a premium, but you’re being a dick.

It’s like he’s making manspreading into an extreme sport.

Seriously serious

You know you take your mobile gaming seriously when you use two devices at the same time. I couldn’t figure out if he was playing two different games, playing with himself, or using one for information on the other. Illegally taking his photo was as much a risk as I could justify.

NNJ 28: Sniff Taro

Learn what not to do in a Japanese office, Find out that Taro is a dink, literally, that is said. Taro is a dink.

The steam platform decides that all the otaku are gross and takes away their stuff. Then we get into the exciting stuff, like international trade agreements, just like the first Star Wars prequel.

It all wraps up with a good old fashioned cop being dumb, or a dink, you decide.

Drinks that were drunk

Seasonal drinks, all kinds of local branding, this is something that Japanese people, and people that visit Japan love. I got sucked in from my first days and now check the changing of the season with whatever drinks that are on offer.

Pepsi basically makes a unique drink bi-annually, but is that a good thing?

It’s Pepsi, but it had a slightly different aftertaste. Spicer would be appropriate since that is relative.

At the same time they came out with the J-cola midnight, which they recommended you drink after you take an evening bath instead of your Japanese tea.

This still had caffeine in it, so if you were planning on going to bed, plan on at least staying up…until midnight.

 

You don’t need to come up with a new flavor to reel people in. When Coke branded their bottles with people’s names, sales went way up. Here they also have the locally branded version, hoping that you will feel the need to travel all over Japan to complete your collection.

It tasted like coke, but from Nagoya.

NNJ 27: Kiss Nanpa Crow Yakuza

Some super scientific survey results, a Nanpa school that nobody should go to, which is all of them. We meet a crow and learn about the law. A man fakes his death and he learns about the law and finally a Yakuza clearly doesn’t understand the law.

NNJ 26: Puro Creepy Guy Bull

What’s happening in PuroLand next month, and why.

The creepy dude report, in a serious way, and then in a not so serious way.

A quit follow up on some stories that refuse to die.

Then a big change in cow rights.
