Cycling Over Water

zenical — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 08:46:03 +0000

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?

Horie Yui Wants Claymore Season 2!?

zenical — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 21:15:18 +0000

Something to start off your Monday: A certain Yui Horie has signed the petition for a Claymore Season 2. :O Horie Yui, also known as Hocchan by fans, is a seiyuu. And well, a petition for a Claymore Season 2 as you can see here. Some fan of Hocchan must seriously want Season 2 that they used her name to “sign” the petition.

They must have thought: Oh use a seiyuu’s name and maybe the anime will get a Season 2 go! Or maybe they were just wishing that Hocchan will get a role in the future (if Claymore Season 2 ever gets the green light).

I watched Claymore, and really enjoyed the anime. Hopefully there WILL be a Season 2. You can sign the petition here. Bring it on Season 2! Speaking of Hocchan, she’s not voicing any Winter Season anime. Wonder why? :(.

Pan-kun And Evil Blow Dryer

zenical — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 02:00:11 +0000

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

Pan-kun Cleans House

Pan-kun returns with some cleaning up tricks. Previously he was impressed with some magic tricks, and today, he’s helping to clean the house ^^.

James seemed to be having a hard time in controlling Pan-kun ^^”. Love to have an animal who would help clean up my house! So sweet of Pan-kun to give James a massage after the “end-of-year cleaning”!

Up and Ready in Less Than 5 Minutes #2

zenical — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 02:00:39 +0000

Few months back, I posted a clip featuring this guy who could get up and ready within 5 minutes. Today, I bring you washed-up comedian Sekai no Nabeatsu shows off his super fast waking up & getting ready technique!

While Sekai no Nabeatsu has a more filling breakfast, his attire to dress up is easier compared to the other guy. Do check out the other clip! Regardless, both of them are amazing! They can get up and be ready within 5 minutes. I normally take up 1 hour to shower, prepare and have my breakfast ^^”.

Taking Time Off For Final Fantasy XIII

zenical — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 06:14:20 +0000

Final Fantasy XIII Japan release will be out this December 17 2009. I know some of my friends will be getting the Japanese version no matter what. They have waited for more than 3 years already! A recent commercial for FFXIII has popped up, showing that this teacher needs time off just for FFXIII.

My reaction when I was watching this CM? I almost rolled off my chair! Haha! So who will be getting the Japanese Release, and will need some time off from work or studies just to enjoy the game? ^^

Teen Calls 911 After Parents Confiscate Xbox

zenical — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 18:22:14 +0000

Are you a gamer? Did you ever had your console sets confiscated by your parents before? Apparently, this one teen had his Xbox confiscated and decided to call 911. Seriously, I pity the poor 911 operators who have to deal with this type of situation. ^^”

A 15 year old boy from Buffalo Grove (outside Chicago) asked police on Sunday if his parents had the right to take away his Xbox. They stopped by to set things straight.

The teen hung up halfway, but the officers went to his house anyway to tell him that he needs to listen to parents. Well parents are always right. Yes? No idea what the teen did, but I sure do know that my parents can take away my console! They have the right (well they paid for the console after all :3)

Fumiko’s Confession – An Independent Short

bluesnow — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:04:35 +0000

Was browsing SankakuComplex this morning, and came across a post on this short independent episode called Fumiko’s Confession (Fumiko no Kokuhaku), which is available to view on both NicoNico and Youtube. Enjoy!

In case there’s any confusion over the dialogue; at the beginning she asks the boy to go out with her… his response is “Sorry, but I want to focus on baseball.” At the end when she runs into him again… She basically asks for him to marry her (with promises of Miso Soup every morning xD), but again he responds with “SORRY! I really just want to focus on baseball.”

Police Attempting Deer Catching

zenical — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:44:40 +0000

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.

Hidden Camera: Kappa Attack

zenical — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:20:51 +0000

Remember the hidden camera show that featured a sniper sniping the comedians but the target (who was left to run for his life..) Today we have another prank, and this time the joke’s on model/idol Yukina Kinoshita into believing that she was going on a hunt for kappa. When they encounter the mythical creatures, everyone will pretend that they cannot see or hear the kappa, driving Kinoshita into a state of fear and panic!

Extremely hilarious. I felt kinda sorry for her in the end because she was freaking out a lot >_<
