Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger

These dudez are basically the newest Power Rangers in Japan. This time they've got some electric dinosaur. I don't know anything about the show, but Wikipedia says it features samba, so it's probably pretty good. That thing on the left can make Christmas noises, and again the advertisement acts like it's awesome that the head of the dinosaur can come off... just as baby Jesus would have hoped.

Anpanman Christmas Cake

Anpan is a bread filled with sweet red beans. That character in the middle is Anpanman, and his head is that type of bread. On either side are Currypanman (Curry Bread Man) and Shokupanman (Sliced Bread Man). Several other characters are depicted around the cake. Most of the characters are food, but some, like the villian Baikinman (Germ Man), are not. Merry Christmas everyone!

Kamen Rider Gaim Cake

Little girls everywhere will be happy to know that they can get their very own Kamen Rider Gaim Christmas cake this year. Look, a little action figure comes with the cake,and, get this, the head rotates! Also, you get a little sound making device that says, "Merry Christmas," "Jingle bell," and, "Happy time." The batteries are sold separately. This is going to be the best Christmas ever.

Kumamon Cake

I can't tell you how much mail I get requesting me to write about the erotic bakery scene in Japan. Yes, it's true that I'm an expert on the subject, but this is just one topic I don't want to cover. I mean, if I publish all my knowledge, suddenly my favorite little bakery is crowded with other erotic cake enthusiasts. Instead, I've decided to take a look at some cakes you could have ordered for Christmas (in Japan you traditionally eat a cake on Christmas Eve).

This is a Kumamon cake. Kumamon is a character from Kumamoto amd kuma means bear.

 As you can see, it's a traditional "face cake." It's just a chocolate dome, and they give you some plastic pieces to make Kumamon's face. Nothing says Christmas like enjoying the sweet, sweet innards of a bear's face.
