Cycling Over Water

Check out this interesting clip of Japanese celebrities attempting to cycle over water using the 300-meters flimsy floating bridge. Of course some made it halfway through, some barely even made it even at the beginning ^^”

Last two folks in the clip managed to cycle over the water. Impressive! The second last guy who was the first to cycle over the 300m floating bridge however, dropped into the water after crossing the end point. LOL?

Pan-kun And Evil Blow Dryer

Take a look at this hilarious clip as seen at Japan Probe. Featuring some old footage of our lovable Pan-kun in his Winter Adventure with dog buddy James!

In the clip they: 1) ring a bell of happiness, 2) say hello to a parrot, 3) fool around in a dog salon, and 4) go rolling on a cart. Number 3 is probably the best part of the clip :p

Dogs Need Clothes Too

Check out the following YouTube clip, a clip on Dog Bathing Suits and Bikinis! Do you have a dog at home? Speaking of dogs, I was watching Nana Mizuki’s LIVE DIAMOND yesterday and I saw her dog in clothes too! ^^ KAWAIII!!
