How many of you are smokers? Can’t resist the urge to have a puff? You have to be careful when you’re in Japan, strict regulations are placed for some cities. Light a stick along the sidewalk and you’ll be fined ><

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?

Fast food wars are heating up in Japan! McDonald’s is aiming to draw customers with four new limited edition “Big America” burgers, which will be released between January and March. Here is a clip that shows Fuji TV and Asahi TV news reporting abou the burgers and their rivals:

We seen many types of Gundam Statues: Stone, 1/1 scale, etc. Forget those statues – you can’t even carry it home. Now available for purchase, this Wooden Gundam Statue is over a foot tall and at a price of 99,750 yen.

This is hardly the first wooden Gundam, and a wooden statue was released back in 2007. The statue is sold by legendary robot company Bullmark. The figure is designed by Plex, an arm of Bandai that designs robot toys.
I like the color of the statue, but sadly I don’t have …

I remember watching Shark Movies when I was young – my Mother just love those monster-movies for some reason, and yes, shark is one of them! Finding out that there was a living dinosaur shark in Japan (like 3 years ago) is shocking and unbelievable.

This type of shark is very different from what we usually see. It has six gills and the body is like an eel, normally living under 600-1,000 meters deep in ocean. They have very long history of 50 million years, that’s why they are also called …

I spent my day rotting at home for the New Year. And well, it’s not like that for the folks in Japan. Over the first 3 days of the New Year, a total of 450,000 people visited Washinomiya Shrine – the Tokyo area’s oldest shrine and a real-life backdrop for the [...]

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 is back with some cake delivery mission. He got chased by dogs, he “fought” with a dangerous bird of prey.. What a day!

All is well at the end of the day as Pan-kun enjoys the cake after his mission ^^”
