Impressions are late because of real life commitments yesterday. I was dozing off before I could do my impressions LOL. Anyway the latest single from Yui Horie(Hocchan) is finally out. I am totally digging this single, YAHHO!! which is also the ED song for the anime series Kanamemo. Why? Because Hocchan wrote the lyrics for the song, YAHHO!! Not only that, she composed the song too! OMG! *starts to fangirl*
The single became officially available yesterday, 26.08.09. Fans who are still considering can get their copy at CDJapan still =). The …

Retail price is at 7,980 yen. She’ll be out in January 2010. Preorder yours at HobbyLink Japan or Hobby Search.
Her price looks too much for a scale of 1/10, probably because of her wings that she cost a little more. Wonder who’s considering/getting her because of her front assests? XD

As seen in one of the Japanese stores, this sign was spotted claiming that they are no longer buying old Xbox 360 consoles.

The store will buy Xbox 360 consoles that went on sale from 1 September 2007 onwards. Any Xbox 360 consoles before that will not be entertained.
No idea what this means, and whether it’s an isolated case. Maybe a new Xbox model is in the making? Lol.

So how much are you expecting for these specially-shaped cucumbers? You don’t even have to cut the cucumber to achieve the shape you want!

By raising the vegetables in simple plastic molds, one producer creates heart and star-shaped cucumbers that, when sliced, can add a touch of Hallmark holiday to any salad.
Well, only shapes available now …

Anyone seen real pumpkins before? Not for me >< – this is my first time seeing a whole lot of pumpkins! XD

These unique white pumpkins as seen in the picture, capped with orange berets, are in a plastic greenhouse at a farm in the Gifu Prefecture city of Takayama.
As their color and shape do not change even after one year from harvesting, the “Fuku pumpkins,” which are as big as a baby’s head and weigh about 700 grams, are popular among tourists and sold at the city’s famous morning …
