Some idols try to rip you off, I mean, more than normal.
Taro Aso, from last week, didn’t get through the whole 7 days before he had to apologize.
We learn a lot more about hair than you would think for an audio medium and it’s time to get Valentine’s day right.
Our idols in the bath:
When a teacher punches a kid, but the kid set it up, who should get punished?
A standardized test takes Japanese twitter by storm.
And there are lots of questions about porn, porn in Japan. Probably not the questions you are thinking.
Some of the resulting exam art:
It’s a bit hard to see, but here is a poster demonstrating one of the ways the police subdue criminals here, but in this case it’s actually train station staff grabbing some dude who didn’t pay his train fare.
To minimize contact and risk of injury they have these big claws. Two cops can get one on either side and you’re basically stuck.
They might also be able to heimlich you.
Dude in the back. I know man. I totally know.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The images promised in today’s episode:
Some Hello Kitty scary food you can get next month, should you survive.
Seriously, this is Hello Kitty
Our public fetish friend who you can follow on twitter.
and his friend who you can’t.
Look like they will meld into robots and save the world.

Here they are in action.
In just a few months NinjaNewsJapan has seen a lot of growth. People are recommending it and doing all the supporting things you need to grow without me begging them to do it. January 2018 was a record month as NNJ surpassed my other, much longer running podcast
Surprisingly, I’m super happy about it.
I’ll keep doing my best, and hopefully improve throughout 2018. Thank you to everyone.
