Japanese love toys that come in small boxes and eggs, in particular robot figurines and half-naked female sword wielding figurines (with swirly hair). I know nothing about this field, but dip my toe in from time to time.
DragonBall Z Key Chain |
Mickey Mouse Sweets Time |
 |
 |
|
And lo, let there be Dragonball Z. Dragonball Z is some kind of Pokemon copy, with weird powers being stored inside little balls that folks keep in their pockets. |
Ever felt a little lonely at Sweets Time? Perhaps you needed a little support, a little pick-me up, someone to sing while you take a bite, whip out back-flips as you brush away crumbs, and rustle pom-poms and dance when you swallow. |

Ikebukuro Jingle Key-Chain |
 |
 |
| Battle cards hold a special place in the hearts of all Japanese- from childhood they are accustomed to trapping the spirits of nature in little plastic balls (Pokemon, Dragonballz) and unleashing their fury upon each other | Train Stations in Japan have jingles; at least the stations on the JR Yamanote line do- when the trains pull in and when they pull out. They’re bright, cheery, and last about 10 seconds |
Gachapon Toys |
|
|
|
|
| Capsule Stations or ‘Gashapon’ are a big deal in Japan, located outside any place that kids or otaku (nerds) might go. They are basically toy vending machines, like gumball machines, but for toys in plastic egg-shells. | |
The haikyoist must be ready to hot-wire an old mammoth or jerry-rig an escalator to run like a hamster-wheel at a moment`s notice.
They strapped a man to the ceiling today. I know him. His name is Wasari Ichimura. I tried to talk to him afterwards.
The TV show LOST is all about ruins. The island itself is a living museum, a reliquary for cultures throughout the ages.
