Just when we thought there will be more death threats made against singers, we have the latest news – a flasher!
A man was arrested yesterday for obscenity in public after he reportedly flashed passengers aboard the JR Kagoshima Line.
Ishikawa, who told police he was unemployed and homeless, admitted to the charges, and was quoted as saying: “I got on the train with the intention of flashing someone.”
The conductors attempted to question Ishikawa about the flashing incident but he escaped at Spaceworld Station in Kitakyushu City, running for about 650 metres …

Surprisingly I got to obtain the insert song (shown in Episode 6 of K-ON!) yesterday. I didn’t know there was a single for the insert song until my friend poked the link into my face XD.

The single will be released tomorrow in Japan, on 20th May 2009.

Game »
The only reason I decided to play this game was because someone sent me a link to cute song on youtube.
I decided to play the free trial here to see what the game was about. It ended up being the best game I’ve played in a long time. The game features the epic battle between the cute flowers in your yard versus the evil hoards of zombies coming to kill you in your sleep. Its a strategy game for the most part. You start each game with “sun power” and …

It looks like one of the channels currently broadcasting reruns of Haruhi this season may have accidently leaked information on new episodes. According to the channel’s schedule on May 24th (The date the 8th episode is supposed to run) an episode titled “Sasa no Ha Rhapsody” or “Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody” will air. Not only is that not an episode title of any in the first season, but this would be the title of the next episode of season two if season two …

If you never knew your old stuff could be useful, think again. Odakyu department store recently had a promotion whereby customers could bring their old ladies shoes and trade in for a 1,050 yen coupon. The coupon can be used for customers to purchase new items. The department store had initially decided to hand out 20,000 coupons, but ended up giving out more than 150,000 of such coupons!
First such sales started in April 8-21 2009. Because of the huge succession of the first trade-in campaign, Odakyu decided to have another …

It has been announced that Hikaru Utada will be singing the theme song of Evangelion: 2.0 – You Can (Not) Advance film.
The title of the theme song has yet to be made public, but I know definitely the song will be awesome. Love the song Beautiful World which was also sang by Hikaru Utada for the first film ending credits.
Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance will premiere in Japan on 27 June 2009. Hope Singapore would get the film not too long after that!
Are you looking forward to the second …
