℃-ute

The song is old. The group is kind of new. And the dancing is... well they call them ℃-ute for nothing.

n8:Just to let you know, the oldest girl in the group is barely in high school. I believe that is called ᵒJ-ailbait

I'm in Canada at the moment but I still have access to the internets bounty of movies. Seems the production schedule of the people who made Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police are really in overdrive. Witness RoboGeisha. (Fair warning, like all of these movies a lot of the content of the trailer will be offensive to a lot of people. One bit later in the trailer specifically)

crazy new movie from the folks who brought you Tokyo Gore Police and Machine Girl:


The voice over is awesome, though..."Fried Shrimmmmp"

n8 :There is so much good shit in there, I don't know how to calm down. I think I will go with the Geisha Transform. The ass rape katana thing on the other hand...

Eric:Is that the theme from "Live and Let Die?"

Peter:The ass thing was why I felt there should be a warning, but I bet its not rape. I think its going to be how the ass katana is revealed and she likes it. I love the parts of the voiceover that are almost impossible to understand.
I think it is a rip off of the James Bond theme.

Peter:I think the fact that the buildings bleed is pretty impressive.

I'm sure most people already know, but they put up a full scale Gundam in Tokyo. I would have liked to post our own footage, but giving this guy's video some more hits will do just fine.

Shiso Pepsi & Coke with Green Tea
Peter gives up the health benefits of not drinking terrible things so he can drink some things that may or may not be terrible. There is only one way to find out. Also, see Peter not want to drink something. Fun!

Movie Madness: Oneechanbara
Video game movies get a pretty rough deal. That might be because most movies based on a videeo game suck really hard. This movie is based on a video game and it sucks really hard. I don't really know where to go with that. I guess it supports the idea that some stereotypes might be true and you hate Peruvians.

Kusanagi Arrest
If you live in Japan you have heard of SMAP. You might not know their names, I don't. Recently one of them was in the news. All over the news, because he was in a park, drunk and all nakeded up. The immediate fallout and resulting media storm in Japan has been an interesting reveal of the Japanese media machine.

Penis Festival
'hounen matsuri,' better known to the foreigners living in japan as the 'penis festival' is a crop fertility festival held annually in order to ensure good luck with future crop harvests. the festival is held in different locations and at different times throughout japan. this particular 'penis festival' was held in komaki, aichi, a small town north of nagoya.

Setsubun
Marlow joins the HikanNinja team with his video debut of the Setsubun festival where people throw beans at demons to get rid back luck and start out fresh for the new year.
Marlow dodges beans and holds a video camera up to the harsh reality that is a demon standing in your face.

The Gundam Experience
We talk to our friend Dodzi about what it is to step into the cockpit (cock) of a Gundam, head into the virtual reality of Japan and beat the virtual living shit out of other people with glowing sticks and things that go BOOM.
That's right, I said BOOM.

Tobacco Cards Turn Teens Into Criminals and Hookers
Smoking is quite prominent in Japan and it is near impossible to go out for an entertaining evening without catching whiff of some tobacco smoke. There is a current non-smoking movement with many train platforms and public buildings posting no smoking signs. Even some restaurants and cafes are making enclosed smoking sections or banning smoking all together.

Naked Man Festival 09
Every year in the town I live in thousands of Japanese men strip down to traditional underwear, get way too drunk and run around the streets. Then they set up poles for each other to climb and then fall off. It is one messed up day.

Tokyo Gore Police
Another movie entry, another movie that leaves you wandering the room in your underwear wishing that there were things you could erase directly from your brain or you could distill other parts into a liquid form and mainline it. Welcome to the over the top world of Tokyo Gore Police.

Coming to Japan, the myth.
I hate foreign people in Japan. I really do. In fact, a lot of my foreign friends also hate all the other foreign people in Japan. Many of those foreign people hate other foreign people in Japan and sometimes they might even hate me. Should you come to Japan? Well, the real question is why would you come to Japan. Is it to increase the hate? Find out.

Movie Madness: Resident Evil: Degeneration
Released as a full feature length in Japan at least a few video game nerds must have shelled out the $20 it costs to go see a movie here to see this adaptation on the big screen. You'd have to be a pretty dedicated fan to do that and not take anything home with you, but there are a lot of dedicated fans of crap out there.

Interview:DJ Madd Love
Last month HikanNinja hit up Club Maverick for one of their reopening events and had a nice time. We were invited by a guy who works both behind the scenes and behind the turntables for the club. Recently, Nate sat down with Trevor David to talk about his involvement with Club Maverick and found out that besides just promoting events and spinning at the club, Trevor, aka Madd Love, is a busy man.

Green Whisky Pepsi review
Okay, there is no thing like stated above. Thankfully.
We did all get together for the tri-annual (once every 3 year) HikanNinja office meeting and drank Green Tea Beer, Nikka Whisky and the most recent Pepsi White drinks.
Needless to say, our meetings are not productive.

Movie Moadness - TGRFCS
No one is going to believe me when I say I didn't know this was basically a soft core porn movie when I got it. I read about it as a zombie movie and planned on reviewing it alongside OneechanBara.
Well, do you like boobies
Do you not really enjoy the complexities of zombie movies and think they overdo it with the volume of zombies?
Do you like awkward and somewhat forced sex scenes?
Well, head on in and take a gander at what could be the movie that defines your life.

Naked Man attacks Imperial Palace
This was a big story a few weeks ago, I have honestly been waiting for a follow-up on this internet hero. the guy is a superstar and we still don't even know his name. He is only Naked British Man.Champion of the weak, defender of the Spanish and terror to Japan.
I have questions, questions no one else seems interested in answering.

HikanNinja @ Maverick
Maverick the club in downtown Nagoya recently renovated. They knew that to really get asses on the dancefloor they had to have HN coverage so we were invited out. I totally refused to leave my hovel deep underground but then Eric told me there would be girls there with hardly any clothes on.
You know the sun isn't that frightening.

Fashion Research, end of summer edition
Since I have caught my yearly cold and it has knocked me flat Eric hunted down things that would make for a quick update. He had these fashion research pics on his camera and sent them in knowing I could fondly remember the two underage girls who seemed illegally interested in us after talking to them.

Movie Madness:Yo Yo Girl Cop
How do you make a good movie? Well, you get two former (and pretty much washed up) members of morning musume and make them the heroine and villain in a movie about girls who dress up as schoolgirls and then fight with yo-yo's.
Oh, wait, I meant, how do you make a movie no one will see.

Kirin Beer Park Tour
Summer vacation means a lot of travel for most people in Japan. Having a small child it's difficult to take him on long journeys so we managed to hit up everything within a one day drive. Near the end of the vacation we got to some pretty slim pickings, so I did what any responsible parent would do, I took my son to the local brewery.

World Cosplay Summit
It's the beginning of the summer vacation here so right after the cosplay summit we all finished up work and Eric took off for America, Nate went to do some farming in Hokkaido and I stayed home. With a nearly one year old staying at home is just as busy as going somewhere and the pictures and videos have been languishing on my hard drive.
Eric hit me up over chat with a not too subtle reminder to get some shit done. Here are what he considers his best pictures of the night and I have posted the video interview with the American Team. No editing so it's pretty rough and the girls were obviously still pretty hyped up.
More videos in the coming week.
