Not sure this is legal, but these guys has many streaming videos of Japanese/Korean/Chinese Dramas and Movies.

Atsu-Hime
We follow this Taiga Drama from NHK. Though I am sure it is not 100% true, it is quite fun to study about Samurai life, and for this Taiga Drama, the events that lead to the fall of the Shogunate, and to the Meiji Restoration.
Will try to write some more in the future.
J-wave Tokyo Radio Logo
Bumped into the new J-wave Tokyo Radio webstation, and I like their Logo. Well, I like the Tokyo part, “Radio” is not that exciting.
J-wave website (For streaming Japanese Radio)
And the Logo:
Japanese girl playing metal
I was browsing through Japanese youtube, and found out the #9 most subscribed channel all time is:
A Japanese girl wearing a dress playing metal. Her face is not visible, only her legs (thing), dress and guitar.
Interesting!

The 2008 Olympics will start soon, and this is the official Japanese Olympics song.

Sumo – Final Results
I predicted that Hakuho will win the March tournament.
Well, I was wrong, and Yokozuna Asashoryu won.
Keter (K&D Design) In Japan
While visiting Japan, we purchased a child Toilet seat. Turned out it is a Israeli product by K&D Design (Keter).
Photos below of the product and of course, placed in the Toilet.

Welcome to Japan – Okaerinasai
Before arriving to immigration in Narita, a sign welcomes everyone to Japan in English. However, the Japanese sign says “Welcome back”. Interesting, isn’t it?
Sumo – First Week
Unfortunately, or luckily, I was too busy during my visit to Japan, so I couldn’t follow the March Sumo Tournament.
But, the Sumo website is wonderful in providing real time (and streaming) information, so I am planning to follow it.
Current results:
Asashoryu is 7-0
Hakuho is 6-1
while Kotooshu is 2-5.
So, the big question is who will win? Mongolian Yokozuna Asashoryu or Mongolian Yokozuna Hakuho.
I am placing my bet on Hakuho.
