wanna hear Kanye West rap in japanese? well, wait no further as kanye west collaborates with Japanese rappers Teriyake Boys for their latest single, "Teriyake King"
Kanye West & Big Sean - Teriya-King (prod. Kanye West) - - Teriyaki Boyz
so what do you think guys? Does Kanye have a future in Japan's music industry?
it's not a surprise anymore that Japan is way ahead when it comes to technology, and i'm sure the rest will just follow.
i am very pleased with Mouse Computer's Netbook with DVD, know as LB-F1500W. It has the following specifications:
1.6GHz Atom processor,
160GB hard disk, 1GB RAM,
10.2-inch (1,024×600) display,
and Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition OS.
You can buy the LB-F1500W for 64,800 yen or around $730. well, although the price is quite steep for a netbook, think of it this way, at least you no longer need to lug around an external dvd drive which is also an additional bulk in your bag. but for sure the weight of this netbook will be heavier than without optic drives.
I think netbooks are oftentimes, complimentary to other PC desktops or laptops but with the economy nowadays, i wouldn't be surprised if people use the netbooks as their ONLY or MAIN laptops and thus having this DVD option would be a convenience.
I just hope that other netbook brands would follow suit. I wouldn't buy a netbook just yet, i'd wait till the rest of the computer companies show us what they've got up their sleeves. So what do you think about this netbook?
This year's Auto Show in Geneva, to be held on March 2009 is gonna be exciting. New cars try to outdo each other year after year, but now cars are not only about the speed and the perks, it should be earth-friendly too.
The teaser from Mitsubishi didn't say much, but these pictures say a mouthful.
This car is called the Sport Air, which is the latest from Mitsubishi's i MiEV line. i MiEV stands for "Mitsubishi Innovative Electric Vehicle"
Details of the car are speculated as follows:
-beefed up electric motor
-clear cutaway top
-zero-emission
-in-floor lithium-ion battery
We'll post more details as soon as it becomes available. watch out for it!
i never thought there'd be any special day for fire prevention of cultural things and the like but Japan never fails to surprise us ain't it?
This picture shows firemen carrying a Buddha dummy from the main hall of Toji -temple of Minami-ku, Kyoto Japan. It was on the same day today back in 1949 that mural paintings got burned at Horyu-ji Temple in the town of Ikaruga, Nara Prefecture.
Since then, it was declared a law to protect cultural assets a year after and in 1955 fire prevention day of such assets were enacted every 26th of January.
Hmm...i wonder what that law entails about cultural assets? It just goes to show how Japanese value their historical artifacts. so better keep your hands off them.
Famous singer, Kanye West has just created his own line of sneakers for Louis Vuitton. Looks like it's not just the girls, who'd be lining up for their store soon enough. As these pairs would soon be available in stores this coming June.
Initially available in four monochromatic colors, but i believe there's still more up to West's sleeve as he makes several sneaker preview on his blog.
Welll, what do you think about his shoes?

It's just so sad, that the rock and roll museum at harajuku would close after 16 years. It closed last January 18, 2009. It was so sad having to see a statue of elvis being covered.
The said museum, comprised of Get Back Beatles Store, Love Me Tender Store, and Gimme Shelter Rolling Stones store. This is owned by Japan Allround Music Inc, which began selling Beatles goods way back in 1982. They did however say that they'd continue to sell stuff over the internet.
But i think that's just as personal as buying on ebay don't you think. It is pretty sad and maybe the fans could do someway to raise funds to show their support or something.
Here is a picture of Elvis' statue being covered for the last time.

Karina, is quoted as having her dreams come true upon doing this film because she has many Doraemon Goods when she was small. Doreamon is very popular in Japan, and it IS a big deal to be a part of this film.
