Posted by Ken Y-N on 3 July 2009

I’ve never eaten a convenience store bento (boxed lunch) as I am yet to see a vegetarian offering; the best I did when I was single was a Lawson’s tomato pasta, which was particularly disgusting.

Fear and loathing in the Happiness Realization Party    Soc it!
Posted by Our Man in Abiko on 3 July 2009

You'd expect the Happiness Realization Party to be a bit more cheerful. But judging from their latest YouTube campaign ad, they are not happy at all.

Posted by (author unknown) on 3 July 2009

You know Ramune, right? That silly Japanese drink, that diabetes in a bottle sealed with a marble. Fun, messy, delicious. The glass marble is held in place by the pressure or the carbonation.
