Here’s a few more pictures I took while salivating in the Land of the Rising Son (yes, pun intended)!

One of my favorite ramen joints in Tokyo…it was good to be back!

Okay, so this is not the best example and I was only able to get a few stealth shots of the school girls.  I’m not down with getting arrested for stalking and taking upskirt shots of every single uniform wearing cutie I saw!  But believe me I got my share of creamy thighs & plenty of panty flash!

What else can I say about Japanese school girls except they’re HOT!

Rainbow Bridge, the famous Tokyo landmark that leads to Odaiba

The man-made island of Odaiba (mostly from landfill) hosts various entertainment spots such as Decks Tokyo, Aqua City and Venus Fort in addition to Tokyo Big Sight convention center where all those cosplay anime conventions take place, Ariake Colosseum sports arena and several warehouses and industrial complexes. I have a strong suspicion that most of the trash Tokyo produces end up here as the island keeps expanding.

Fuji TV headquarters, where so many of the Japanese TV shows you’ve come to love is from

Yes, all you Kentucky Fried Chicken lovers out there…you’ve heard right. It’ll cost you only $10.50 during the week and $14 on the weekend to get in on the action.

This is the place to be if you want to get your KFC grub on

But first you need to book a plane ticket to Japan, Kansai International Airport to be exact.

From 11am to 3pm Monday through Friday and 11am to 8pm on Saturday and Sunday, KFC Onohara along National Route 171 in Mino-o City just north of Osaka will serve up all the finger lickin’ good furaido chikin your stomach can handle.

Juicy JDM fried chicken

What’s great about the all-you-can-eat system is that even if they’ve temporarily run out of fried chicken, you can be sure that more freshly made ones will be on their way.  Say goodbye to stale heat lamp fried chicken!

In addition to all you can eat fried chicken, Colonel’s Buffet also offers side dishes such as pasta, chicken nuggets, fries, hamburg (Japanese style meatloaf), shumai (steamed Chinese dumpling), fried bread and yakisoba (pan-fried noodles). They’ve even thrown in coleslaw, salad, fruits and soft drinks too!

And since this is Japan, you know KFC Onohara will also hook you up with all you can eat steamed white rice and seaweed onion soup.

According to the report, there used to be a total of 3 KFCs in Japan that offered Colonel’s Buffet, but now this is the only location that still does it.

So if you’re ever in the area or happen to pass by Osaka while traveling through Japan, stop by KFC Onohara for an unique experience and to get a fix on your American craving. But do all of us a favor…please be on your best behavior and be respectful to other diners. We all know what many Japanese think of us and we don’t need another fried-chicken-hogging, leftover-smuggling, loud-mouth-nuisance-causing rude ass gaijin to enforce that stereotype!

Aya Matsuura possesses a great voice and is a top selling artist for Hello!Project

Japanese singer and mega popular idol Aya Matsuura was the PR chief  today for the upcoming 25th Japan Confectionery Expo in Hyogo (in conjunction with Himeji Confection Expo 2008).  It was only fitting that the super sexy and cute “Ayaya” (as her fans affectionately call her) was in charge of promoting the event, since the 21 year old Hello!Project artist hails from Himeji city in Hyogo Prefecture.

Ayaya said, “I’m having such a good time since I love sweets.  I can’t wait to try them all!”

The expo will be held from April 18th through May 11th in and around Ayaya’s hometown.

Kirin’s popular Ichiban Shibori Stout

You never know what’s going to come out of that wacky place called Japan. Recently the beer meisters at Kirin Brewery brewed up the idea of having a hot mug of beer during the cold winter season.

How’s this for a winter treat?

Kirin’s latest concoction is based on their Ichiban Shibori Stout dark beer and is currently being test marketed in house at their main brewery in Yokohama. Kirin suggests serving the beverage at 50 degree Celsius (about 122 degree Fahrenheit) with a cinnamon stick and brown sugar cubes on the side. When you’re ready to drink you should stir the beer to give it a frothy head like cappuccino, which brings out its flavorful aroma.

According to Kirin they chose the Ichiban Shibori Stout series because this premium dark beer is made with carefully selected blend of caramel and roasted barley, then twice filtered. The result is an irresistible and luxurious deep aroma that’s further accentuated by the heating process.

Kirin also mentioned about serving the heated stout over vanilla ice cream…hot stout beer float anyone?

Who says otaku (a nerd or geek, usually enthralled in anime, video games and/or electronics) can’t get a date? The following debunks the myth that otaku don’t go out with girls. As a matter of fact, otaku get the girls all the time!

See, she’s a cutie!

Note he’s having the exact same chocolate curry that she’s having…talk about coordination!

Dining with 3 lovely ladies at the same time…now that’s some otaku pimpness!
