Comical Japanese sushi commercials

A collection of amusing "gin no sara" (銀のさら) commercials.

Few old classics here; enjoy!

Downtown batsu - The ass game

Another Batsu game. This one is quite a retro edition as the crew are looking kind of young. Matumoto still has hair!

The rules are simple, both contestants must reply with the same answer to each question. If they answer incorrectly, the one baring his ass moves closer to his partner's face!

Unique Japanese Foods- Ice Cream

Of the six years I’ve spent in Japan thus far, it never ceases to amaze me every time I come across a new and bizarre flavor of ice-cream; and trust me when I say, there are plenty!

Each prefecture tends to have it’s own popular brand, for example in Kyoto I’ve had green tea ice cream and tofu milk ice cream. Both of which are nice.

I’ve also tasted wasabi, lavender (foul stuff), wild berry, sweet potato, and goma. Some of these tend to be slightly more savory rather than sweet.

Some ice creams I’ve run into though I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot barge pole. These flavors would include 

1-Caviar ice cream

2-Octopus ice cream

3- Shark fin ice cream

4- Cows tongue ice cream

5- Curry ice cream

6- Pit viper snake ice cream

7- Raw horse meat ice cream

8- Squid ice cream

9- Whale ice cream

ABOVE - Sign advertising whale meat ice cream

10- Chicken wing ice cream

I'm sure there are a ton I haven't heard of yet just as bizarre and disturbing. No doubt I will eventually run into them however.

I-Phone quick draw

Interesting find from a friend-This guy certainly won't be missing any calls soon!

Gaijin stereotype

A funny gaijin stereotype from an old anime series.

Out and about in Japan

Some more recent pictures taken out and about-

This first guy is supposed to be a shoe horn; a device used to help one slip into their shoes. However, is it just me or does it resemble a cock and balls?

This guy is quite....ballsy 

The following is a copy of Game Of Thrones in Japanese. The cover, as you can see has been given a manga makeover. John Snow looks rather odd to me in this fashion. The book itself is tiny when compared to the English language version due to the kanji taking up less page room.

Lastly- It never ceases to amaze me how popular and huge a network the Jehovah's Witnesses have in Japan. For a country that is; for the most part atheist in belief, the JWs have quite a strong following. What is even creepier though is their somewhat communist propaganda-ish pamphlets. "ALL SUFFERING SOON TO END.... apparently. And when it does we will all be in abundance of pumpkins and moose????

Softbank commercial - Goody two shoes

New Softbank commercial I saw on the weekend which pretty much blew my head. Featuring Adam Ant's "Goody Two Shoes".

Universal Studios Japan (Christmas)

Universal Studios Japan (USJ). I had been there twice before, both occasions being in the summer; my girlfriend though kept insisting that Christmas time is the best season to go and if I didn't go there at least once; well then I'd really be missing out. Luckily for me then, I won a pair of tickets last spring.

We decided to use the tickets this December as during this month it's all Christmas celebrations. Up one frosty Sunday morning we woke then and set out after breakfast. Getting to USJ isn't that complicated from Umeda station. One just boards the train from Track one on the JR Loop Line and gets the train bound for "Universal City". Yup that's right, USJ has it's own station. They even have their own trains.

On arrival after you go through the train station, before being able to enter the theme-park you have to buy a ticket. Here's a quick pointer; the ques for purchasing a ticket tend to be massive. You can skip this whole process completely by buying your ticket online or from selected ticket vendors before hand, (Or like me, just try and win a ticket). - Then it is just a matter of strolling through the gate. Also, try to arrive there early. USJ opens from 11am; my girl and I were there at 10.50. I've also heard that going there on a weekday/non holiday also beats the crowds.

USJ Train

Once inside I realized quite a lot of major differences when comparing the summer decor to the Christmas one. The whole park is decked out like a Christmas enthusiast's wet dream. Ever seen the Muppet's Christmas Carol? Well, the whole place resembles the set; not to mention the constant Christmas music blasting out. To be fair, it did get me into the Christmas mood....somewhat.

First on the list is deciding where to go and which rides/attractions to go on. I had previously been on the Spiderman ride, Space one, the jet coaster and seen the Terminator 3D show, Jaws, and Wicked.

This time around we decided to hop on the Back To The Future ride, Jurassic Park, ride the jet coaster again (I love roller-coasters) watch the Universal Monster Rock Show and see the record breaking giant Christmas tree (which currently holds the Guinness record for "most decorations on a Christmas tree. EVER")

The good thing about queuing in USJ is, every line has an estimated timer of how long you have to wait. This way you'll know what to avoid, or what you'll have to prioritize. First up was the jet coaster which had a waiting time of twenty minutes. I love this baby. You know that giddy feeling you get in your stomach on roller-coasters? Well the whole ride is like this from start to finish.

USJ Jet-Coaster

Back To The Future was up next(waiting time 40 minutes). I really do love the movies, so I was well excited. To be honest I was a little bit disappointed as the ride itself was essentially a 3D dome with a moving Delorean. This would have been stunning back in the late 80s-early 90s though it's starting to look somewhat dated in this day and age. Still, I got to sit in a Delorean and it's Back To The Future....so it still kinda' rocked! Next up we decided to go to the Universal Monster's Rock Show, however this had a waiting time of 55 minutes so we decided to kill some time by seeing the giant Christmas tree; which was quite impressive. Back to the Monster Rock Show and we only had 10 minutes to wait now; so we stood in line. The monster show was fantastic. All your favorite Universal monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein, wolfman and your host Beetle Juice) singing and dancing to rock classics. Finally we went on the Jurassic Park ride which, before boarding I realized a lot of people came equipped with raincoats. With this ride you "will" get wet. Just a bit mind you, but enough to bother you on a cold winter's day. Anyhow; the ride itself takes you through a boat journey in an animatronics type park. Lot's of dinosaurs here to gawk at, a few scares and an AWESOME T-Rex......oh and with a big splash at the end. Lastly we had a burger (which was quite decent considering in Japan it's usually near to impossible to find anything that resembles a "proper" burger) and tried to get a bit of souvenir shopping done.


 At this point though the crowds really started pouring in so we decided to head on home around 4pm or so. I've heard that it's worth sticking around to see the Christmas tree lights go on. If you can brave the cold and thousands of people making it impossible to move then it may be worth it.

Overall, I definately feel it's worthwhile checking out USJ over the Christmas holidays if you really want to get that "Seasonal" feeling. For those thinking of checking it out, tickets cost an average of 6000 yen for adults and 4000 for kids. Quite expensive, so you may want to make the most of it by heading on a date that'll be less busier than usual. For more information on tickets

Finally, here's a  short video documenting some of the day's highlights. Enjoy!
