Japan Plastic Food

It’s quite common to find plastic food on display everywhere. Ever felt like eating them even though they’re made of plastic? :D Here are some pictures of plastic food that look real and delicious! Yum yum.
Via Shibuya246

Curry rice sticking to spoon looks so real. Now I want to have some curry rice too ><

Do you find plastic food for sales in your country? I remember seeing some fake bread for sale, but that’s about it!

The Gadget to Tell You The Condition Of Your Skin

Another gadget by Bandai, pairing up with FANCL to give you this product.

Partnering up with Japanese cosmetics company FANCL, Bandai’s Skin Expert is a tiny device which you apparently hold up to your face to receive detailed information on its ‘quality’ and health.
Retail price of the gadget is at 3,750 yen. Would you get this just for the sake of your appearance? Or spend the cash on something like.. figurines? LOL.

I seen a machine that helps to tell you of your life – whether you are eating sufficient food, getting …

Burger Vending Machine is Controlled by Human

I know just how crazy vending machines are in Japan, we have R4 being sold in Japan, and vending machines allowing you to bill it via your veins.

The concept of having a burger vending machine is so great that the cook controllers the vending machine manually. He pops the burger into the “vending machine” himself. Take a look at the video below!

Drop 100 Yen and you’ll get a Tateishi Hamburger in no time, but if you want another, you’ll have to walk into the restaurant and wait. It all seems …

Police Attempting Deer Catching

Living in the bustling city of Singapore, we don’t have wildlife appearing on streets, on roads, etc. Occasionally we do get dogs barging out – that’s about  it. Deers in Japan.. I like to see that myself ^^

The police tried to capture the deers that made their way into Sapporo, but they failed. Clearly the police shouldn’t be the ones to deal with deer catching o.O. They’re not qualified! LOL.

Charge Your Phone With This Hello Kitty Solar Charger!

Another creative gadget that can only be found in Japan, a solar charger for your phone, in the design of HELLO KITTY!

Now this just needs to be released internationally for any type of phone :D.
Fancy a solar charger for your phone? It’s kinda cool because your electronic devices will just die off when you’re outside. And the solar energy is endless. All you need is the sun!

Windows 7 Launch Event Gone Wrong Because of Touchpanel

I have been reading up on the launch of Windows 7, and I seen a certain Live TV show in Japan, showing the demo of the Windows 7, only to have some glitch problems. Initially I thought this was nothing much, perhaps the guy just didn’t know how to use it XD. Apparently, at the recent Akihabara Windows 7 launch event, Microsoft Japan’s CEO Yasuyuki Higuchi was having some difficulty using the new Windows 7 with the touchpanel >_<.

I’m no computer expert, but apparently the touchpanel is giving the new …
