Azuma Kiyohiko is one of my favorite manga artists. He’s most well known for Azumanga Daioh!, with his most recent project being Yotsuba&!, which has run for six volumes thus far. When I was at Lashinbang (in DenDen Town) last weekend, I found a mook (Japanese for a book/magazine hybrid) full of Battle Athletes Victory/Tenchi Muyo!/El-Hazard/Magical Girl Pretty Samy comics drawn by him. Considering that all of those series (with the exception of Pretty Samy, which I’ve never seen and likely won’t given that I usually don’t like magical girl series) are ones I quite enjoy, I had to get it. It came with a 8cm CD full of related comics, which is awesome.

In addition, I bought a Churuya-san doujin. It contained within many an lol, and I was pleased.

I love sushi. Raw or cooked, its always delicious. One of my personal favorites is ikura, or salmon roe sushi. As a symbol of Japanese food culture, it stands above the rest as emblematic of Japanese cuisine and perhaps it’s culture at large. Eating sushi, one can’t help but be overtaken by breathtaking images of sakura blossoms falling gently on a stunning Yamato Nadeshiko in a 120layer kimono in the shadow of Mt. Fuji. Such a national treasure much be protected, and I applaud the Japanese government for taking steps to ensure that only real sushi is served both at home and abroad. Protecting cultural artifacts from change and outside influence is something the Japanese government is masterful at, and I look forward to their efforts in this arena.

I was playing the Wii the other day and murdered 15 of my closest friends due to improper handling of the WiiMote. An Englishman in Osaka has had similar experiences.

Have you listened to DJ bc yet? Because if not, you really should.

EDIT: New Japan blog added – Lost in Japan. Good stuff, check it out.
