kenleewrites in 日本

My friends visiting Japan bought me a little gift. It’s a DVD boxset of the transformers series in Japan. The headmasters, godmasters and victory series. Have any of you seen any of those? These Transformers cartoons were always showing on saturday morning tv back when I was in primary school. I remember it very well because I used to skip extra classes at school just so that I could watch them. And I turned out alright. ^^. Have to find some time to watch the cartoons and relive my childhood memories. What other cartoons did you grow up on?

Here are some videos I found on YouTube. Any ring a bell?

Headmasters.

Masterforce.

Victory.

God Ginrai!

Was on the Yamanote and spotted this guy wearing the funkiest t-shirt ever. See for yourself here. ^^.

Mascot characters at Mister Donut’s. There’s (from right) ゴールデンチョッキリン、ポン・デ・ライオン、チョコダッチョ、ハニーシッポ、マフィンガメ、チョコリングマ。Who’s your favorite?

(more…)

Spotted some new Kit Kats today. Ume syu (梅酒) soda and sports drink flavors. Don’t really sound appealing, but might just give them a try just for the sake of it. ^^. Which one would you try first?

is watching a 3D version of said good movie. ^^. Caught Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince when it premiered on the IMAX screen. The first 20 minutes was in pure glorious 3D. Sure, we had to put on funky googles. But watching Death Eaters fly around London and messing things up in 3D was worth every second of it. I wonder… was there any mention of the Millennium Bridge in the book?
