What happens when you get a Japanese fangirl to visit UK for a chance to walk in Hogwarts only to be surprised when the stars turned up to greet her! =O.
Note: Do get a tissue ready because after watching the clips I was wiping off tears of laughter from my eyes. LOL

Ever wonder whether your dog is feeling sad? Or happy? Or frustrated? It seems that Tomy Co has thought up of a new version of its device called “Bowlingual Voice”.

The wireless microphone device, which fits on a dog’s collar, transmits the animal’s sound to a handheld console which analyzes and “translates” into six emotional categories. The device then emits a common phrase matching the dog’s emotional state, both in words and voices.
I never actually heard of this device before.. Anyone? Well, now we just need one that can simply tell …

Bandai and MegaHouse has come up with a new party toy for Yakiniku lovers (Korean BBQ)

This new toy will let you have the same experience at home – minus the chewing and hunger satisfaction of course.
Yakiniku restaurants are almost everywhere in Japan, so this is another money-making scheme ~! Lol. Using a fake BBQ and fake food, players must be the first to successfully collect fully “grilled” plastic food. No idea how you can actually check whether the food is “grilled” but I suppose I can let my imagination run …
