Just when we thought Japan is ready for world domination with their 1/1 scale Gundam, we have a $200,000 robot which prepares ramen at Yamanashi Eatery – Momozono Robot Ramen! The age of technology is certainly advancing. Soon we will have robots who can wash your toilets?
The ramen-making robot was built by 60-year-old shop owner Yoshihira Uchida, who spent about 20 million yen on its construction.

Customers can place their orders on a computer in the shop, choosing the various flavors they prefer. There are 40 million flavors permutations available O_O. …

ZETSUBOU SHITA! The third season of Nodame being pushed back to winter 2010 has left me in despair!!!
Last winter it was announced that season three of Nodame would be aired this fall.  But the most recent announcement has it airing in January of 2010. I’m not too surprised actually, but Zen told me to write a post about my despair xD
With this newest announcement though there is also news that this third season will be the finale, which is unfortunate since I’m under the impression the manga is still ongoing. …

Remember going to sushi restaurants/places with moving conveyor belts that deliver endless amount of food? Now you can have it right at home. Yes! Find joy in the Toy Sushi Train. XD

Epoch will officially unveil this toy sushi train later this month at the Tokyo Toy Show. Doubtfully slated for a US release (most probably because the train’s design wasn’t meant to accommodate several pounds of cow meat dipped in butter), the train is a replica of Japan’s famously fast N700 series Shinkansen.
Well this looks interesting though I don’t know …

There’s no need to despair anymore.. Shana Season 3 is no more“BACK”! It will premiere after the OVA Series. (Thanks to Optic for pointing this out 2 times LOL)

Been doing some minor changes to the blog layout since yesterday.
Tags are now located below, and I removed the domtab which shows “Featured” post, “Tags” and “Popular Posts”. They were kinda lagging the entire site.
I will be doing some organizing of the categories, and maybe make a new banner =3.
Also I am currently updating the About page which I have been procrastinating for ages already XD. Well hopefully this time my brain will not die before I finish that page.

Oh and I think I am getting old, that I can’t …

So vending machine has cameras.. What do we have now? Vending Machines selling items to “hack” your own Nintendo DSL/DSi!
At just 8,000 yen, you can buy a R4 for your own Nintendo DS.

Check the words on the button of the vending machine(I know it’s small but..) – you can see that it’s SOLD OUT XD.
8,000 yen is expensive, I can probably get one here at half the price, that is if I ever get to find one. Haha. Shops are very secretive when selling illegal items. Because piracy is a …
