[PSP Review] Crazy Taxi: Double Punch

I realised I didn’t post a game review, and the last game I played on my PSP was Crazy Taxi: Double Punch. The Crazy Taxi: Fare wars made its way to Japan. It also got named to Crazy Taxi: Double Punch and was released on the 12 of August 2008. Surely the change of name has no hidden meaning? x)

So I spent a few hours at the game. The menu in the game is based in Japanese, so one may need some knowledge of Japanese to choose the right options, …

Breakfast in Japan

A very detailed report about Japanese people having what for breakfast, whether they eat breakfast everyday, has been posted up on What Japan Thinks.

I eat my breakfast everyday, and that is probably the reason why I am so healthy =X. I have a glass of milk after my breakfast and I head off for my lessons ^^. But I believe many of my friends do not have their breakfast!

They carried out a survey over 3 months, and the scale size was 7,965.
52.7% of the sample were female, 1.0% in their …

1/8 Ryuna

This was probably out for preorder some time ago, but she caught my eye while I was browsing through Ami Ami^^

Kotobukiya is releasing a scaled 1/8 Ryuna from Shining Wind. She will be out in December at a retail price of 6,090 yen.
From what I know she is a character from the PS2 game – Shining Wind. Now I have never played that game before, but this is something worth to consider! She looks absolutely gorgeous.

Japan Net Cafe – Only 1,000 Yen a Night

This is a picture of a single room room at a net cafe in Japan. For just 1,000 yen you can stay at such a place. Sounds fairly interesting, I won’t mind having a go at such a place. The internet is just what I need to last me through the night! ^^

Shana Figumate

Just got these from my friend, who had ordered the whole box of Shakugan no Shana II Figumate (10 pieces in total!) Bought the extras from him. You could call them my first Shana Figurine Collection ^^. I don’t have a Shana Figurine at all! Seriously.

The thing is.. it was supposed to have 8 as a set. But the confident me told him that one box would have everything. I was wrong -_-. So I bought the extras from him, since I don’t mind buying ^^.
Nevertheless, the money wasn’t wasted …

1/6 Fate Testarossa Harlaown Doll

Omg I just saw this on Ami Ami! It’s a 1/6 Fate Testarossa Harlaown Doll from Azone International!!!

Fate will be released next month, September and be retailed at a price of 16,800 yen. How bout that for a doll price? xD

Special A – Episode 20

Inner Jun is the man! No idea as to why he did that, but Kei must have been feeling down because his kiss was stolen by Inner Jun and not Hikari (laughs)

Speaking of the charm of pretty/handsome boys, it seems that even Jun has it, just that it is hidden within in. Ryuu has some sort of attractiveness, but it tends to be more on the mammals side. Girls who love animals, would be charmed by him. Is it me, or is Tadashi the only one without any sort of …

Type of Figurines I go for

Was just looking at the stuff I preordered, and suddenly occured to me how many figurines I actually own? Below graph shows. Figma is overpowering at 50% while nendoroid comprises of 21%!
I put Revoltech and Figma together in a category since both are geared towards the “action figure” type. And I can’t help but admit that I have a softness for Figma. They’re fun and portable! As to nendoroids, my first buy was the Wonderfest Konata and Kagami cosplay as Fate/Stay Night. It cost me a whopping 127 SGD but …
