The lack of an official facebook app for the iPad is supposed to weaken the sales of iPad units to heavy facebook users, but it hasn't. And a big part of the reason this is so is the abundance of third-party apps designed to allow users to easily browse and communicate via facebook.
Among this bunch, one app stands out - MyPad+.
This review is also applicable to the Twitter app for iPad. Read more to see why.
After half a year of its release, Nintendo announced that they will be selling 3DS almost half the original price starting August 11, 2011. They call it the Ambassador Program. From ¥25,000 they will lower the price to ¥15,000. Isn't that great? I'm actually planning to buy it on the 11th hehe. And since the price dropped dramatically, gamers who bought 3DS in its original price will be able to download ten games for free. One game software ranges from (4,000-6,000¥).
Here's the original link of the announcement made by Nintendo (in japanese)

To all the K-On! fans out there, the DVD and Blu-ray of their second live concert, "Come with Me", was officially released in Japan last Friday.
I've watched some parts of the video and one thing I can easily say is that Aki Toyosaki can definitely sing live and emcee!
I'm also glad that they san both opening songs (as I find them both to be both fun and hard to sing), as well as their goodbye song, Tenshi ni Fureta Yo!
I won't write a comprehensive review, not until I've watched the entire concert and understood it anyway. But after scanning some parts of it, it was evident that they followed the same format as the successful first concert, combining voice acting showcase with lots (more than the first concert) singing.
All songs were sung live (looks like) but only some where played live, which is okay considering the seiyuus aren't musicians to begin with.
I'll post more about this concert and maybe include the setlist as they become available to me.
But I'll leave it like this for now, if you're a K-On! or an Aki Toyosaki fan, missing this video would be a sin.
Ciao!
I was browsing my news feed in facebook when I saw pictures of this event, World Cosplay Summit Parade 2011. The pictures were so nice and uhm, pretty? haha.I wanted to blog about it but I needed to ask the owner of the pictures if I could use it. And luckily, he agreed! Yay. I have asked 2 friend photographers if I could use their pictures, taken of course, here in Japan for our blog. They both said yes! That’s good news right?
To start of, I know nothing about this event. I had to look it up over the internet!
Here’s what I got from http://www.tv-aichi.co.jp/wcs/e/what/index.html
The "World Cosplay Summit" was created to promote international exchange through the Japanese youth culture of manga and anime.I won’t be writing much about the event. I just wanted to share the pictures. And oh, this year, it was held at Nagoya, Japan.
The free and dynamic nature of manga was instrumental in the birth of cosplay. Nowadays youth from around the world find this as a common language and a dynamic new form of global interaction. The World Cosplay Summit began in Osu, Nagoya and has grown to include 15 countries from around the world. If you count audience and participants at each preliminary event, the number of people involved is now in the 100s of thousands.
For youth who have discovered Japan through manga and experienced Japanese culture through the medium of the World Cosplay Summit, we endeavor to continue the development of this new form of international exchange.
The sequel to the award-winning and much talked about Cut the Rope by ZeptoLab has finally been released after the original version's porting to other OSs.
In this new iteration, the cuddly little monster we got to know as Om Nom, is shipped (in its box) to a professor who decides to perform experiments on the little fella.
In this new environment, naturally, new elements come into play.
But will the sequel, at the very least, meet the high standards and expectations set by the first game?

Here's another outdated review. :)
I watched this 2006 Anime about three years ago, so I had to watch it again just to make a review.
While it's not the best Anime in my opinion, it does present some unforgettable scenes, concept, and especially, characters.
This won't be a long review so please read more after the jump.
Aside from cheap wholesale/retail items, another thing that I love about Costco is the food court. We went to Costco Kawasaki last Sunday and I was able to grab my favortie pizza! I bought one slice and a whole combo pizza (16 or 18 inches, I'm not really sure hehe). The price? 1,500 yen! So cheap and yummy.
Better not miss the pizza if you visit Costco.
