Halloween Ultraman

 I can't even tell if that jack-o-lantern is supposed to be Ultraman, one of the other characters, or just sort of from that universe. The eyes are similar, but the mouth is a normal pumpkin mouth. Anyway, I give the artist a B+.

This is an ad for the Autumn Family Mart Festival. If you spend ¥700 or more, you have a chance at winning a prize. Maybe the prize has something to do with Ultraman this time, but usually at these sort of events you win the canned coffee they couldn't sell, or something.

Happy Halloween to one and all.

Kyary as Boop

I know beauty is supposedly subjective and all, but take a look at this picture and tell me Kyary Pamyu Pamyu isn't the sexiest woman alive.

Told you, dudez. Simply breathtaking.

Hunburger

Ha, ha, ha. I bet someone could make a really good Attila the Hun joke with this!

Munenori Kawasaki

Even if you don't like baseball, you might want to start cheering for the Toronto Blue Jays so we can get some more speeches out of Munenori Kawasaki. Here's what he had to say after the their last series victory.



He's a backup second baseman, and not even on the active roster for the playoffs. He's kind of lucky that they even let him be there, but clearly he knows how to motive and get the team focused. Only two more until the bush party.

M!LK - I Can't Drink Coffee

Love the attitude these dudez are rocking! This is their first single called "I Can't Drink Coffee". It's about trying to impress girls by drinking coffee even though you can't because it's bitter and stuff. It's something all us cool guyz can relate to. I'm sure you'll watch the whole video.



On another note, I want to thank a lot of you for your advice on how to impress girls. You've had a lot of great ideas, but unfortunately nothing has worked as of yet. As it turns out, it's looking like I might just need to change my wardrobe. This is the uniform M!LK usually wears:

Look out, ladies.

A Cute Girl?

What do you think of this young girl?

You think she's cute?

You fool! That's not an underage school girl you're looking at. That's a 3DCG image created by married couple Teruyuki and Yuka Ishikawa. You're basically attracted to a bunch of 1s and 0s, you sicko!

I didn't fall for it at first, but I am pretty attracted to teenage ghosts, so this one got me a little bit, but just a little.

Where's Waldo Gum

Japanese Gum Review #16

Lotte has finally listened to the consumers and made a Where's Waldo themed gum. By the way, it's Where's Wally in Japan. There were several different covers, and I chose the one where he's doing the traditional Fit's dance. If you don't know what I'm talking about... I don't have time for you. Please stop reading now.

You've probably noticed that Wally wears red and white. That's why you likely already guessed that this is a strawberry and milk flavored gum. Actually, it mostly tasted like really fake strawberry candy with a hint of fake milk. I'd say it was a little kid flavor.

The best part of this gum, hands down, was the back of the box. Free Where's Wally!!!!! (hint: he's wearing red and white).

Ratings:
Gaybot: 5  Bumped it up from a 4.5 for the packaging. Why don't all boxes have crap like this?
Girlbot: 5  She says it tastes like a gum she had as a child.
Overall: 5

Character Spotlight: Fusan

When the Softbank Hawks win a baseball game a bunch of white jet balloons are released. The idea behind this year's new mascot, Fusan, is that he wants to someday fly with those balloons. He's a balloon.



The costume appears big enough for the person inside to move around and make it look like Fusan is bouncing on his head. That's kind of cool, but it's also cool that he can't get himself off the field.

Ginger Ale Soy Milk

Japanese Food Review #109

Juice-box-sized soy milk comes in many different flavors in Japan, but I'd never seen this one before. The front of the box tells you it's non-carbonated as well as a source for fiber, two things people are always looking for in their ginger ale soy milk. Also of note, this whole 200ml box is only 38 calories. Normal, non-sweetened soy milk would usually be 110 calories or so. The secret is that the second ingredient is lemon juice. It must be 40% of it or something. There's also actual ginger juice, which is something you won't find in most ginger ales these days.

It tasted mostly like ginger ale. Like pretty bad, strange ginger ale. I'm not sure I would have known there was soy milk in it at all just from the taste. I took three sips and wasn't repulsed, but I will never have it again.

Ratings:
Gaybot: 3
Girlbot: 1  She thinks it tastes like if she mixed the homemade ginger ale she tried to make (which she thought was horrible) with soy milk.
Overall: 2

Cat Marketing

Just like the old adage, "Sex and multiple cat mouths sell." (I think they shortened it because they're basically the same thing).

NBA

Can't believe I'm just learning now that NBA stands for New Boom Action. This explains so much.
