Food Fight Ep. 4!

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009 | Japan Stuff, Videos | 6 Comments

Oh man it’s been forever since I updated this site. Been too busy with work and EarthBound Central. I might revamp this site at some point and/or change things majorly, but that of course depends on how much time I can find. Anyway, since some people have been asking for it, here is episode four of Food Fight! Hard to believe that it’s almost been 10 years since this show aired. Also... Read More >>>

Food Fight Episode 3!

Sunday, February 8th, 2009 | Japan Stuff, Translation, Videos | 12 Comments

Ah, one of my most favorite Food Fight episodes This one is great, if you can only watch one, then I’d probably recommend this one. But you should watch more than one anyway Long-time readers might remember an old Food Fight page I made in 2000 while I was staying in Japan for a little while. I had just discovered the show and I decided to take a ton of pics and record stuff using my crap... Read More >>>

Drunk? Japanese Guy Plays Mario Land

I saw this elsewhere but just had to post it here. It’s too strange not to pass up Basically, some oddly-acting Japanese guy tries to talk about about Mario Land in English while he plays it. Neat and funny. ... Read More >>>

Food Fight Ep. 2!

Sunday, January 18th, 2009 | Japan Stuff, Translation, Videos | 13 Comments

Continuing from the first episode! This time, Mitsuru meets a foreign guy who eats like crazy. Also, he apparently must eat to save a young orphan from dying. However that works. Also, puddle-swimming! This was the first full Food Fight ep. I saw back when it aired, and it completely stole my heart. The show’s just so cheesy but so good. I wish I had time to go and redo all the subs now th... Read More >>>

Nasubi Part 3!

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 | Japan Stuff, Videos | 18 Comments

If you don’t know who/what Nasubi is, you’ll want to see this first. Basically, they locked a guy in an apartment, took everything he had - even his clothes - and the only way he’s allowed to survive is by sending in postcards to raffles/drawings and winning prizes from them. He doesn’t even get food, unless he wins it. Anyway, part 3 is now online and in English here. For ... Read More >>>

Funniest English #3

Saturday, January 10th, 2009 | Japan Stuff, Videos | 14 Comments

Here it is! Another Funniest English segment! I like this one better than #2, but I still think #1 is the best. Sadly, this is the last of the clips I have on tape. I recorded them while I was studying in Japan a bazillion years ago. They stopped the Funniest English thing around 2001 or so I think, but they did the segment for years before. If anyone knows where I can find more, let me know rig... Read More >>>

Another Horribly Cruel Japanese Show

Monday, January 5th, 2009 | Japan Stuff, Videos | 14 Comments

Following the same lines of thinking as the Nasubi thing, the people in the old Denpa Shonen TV show basically take these two guys off the streets of Tokyo, blindfold them, sail several days off the coast of Japan, then leave them on a deserted island. They’re told to find a way off the island on their own. And that’s that. Oh yeah, and they get some matches. I’ve always wondered... Read More >>>

Karakuri Funniest English #2

Saturday, December 27th, 2008 | Japan Stuff, Translation, Videos | 12 Comments

On the heels of the last Funniest English video is another! While nothing can beat the Pikachu guy’s “secret zone”, I found this one pretty good too. For those wondering who the host is, he’s Thane Camus, and he’s lived in Japan most of his life, so he’s not just some random white dude being an ass Besides the Funniest English and Funniest Japanese segments,...

Japanese Nintendo TV Show

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 | Games, Japan Stuff, Videos | 13 Comments

Many years ago, when I was in Japan, I made a decent-sized page about a show on Japanese TV that was pretty much one giant Nintendo commercial. I found a short video of it from the SNES/Super Famicom era. Just listen to how overdramatic the guy makes it sound. It’s actually such a bad show that it was fun to watch. Maybe that’s because it was aimed at kids and not my age group though ... Read More >>>

Karakuri Funniest English #1

Sunday, December 21st, 2008 | Japan Stuff, Translation, Videos | 8 Comments

A lot of people have seen this already probably, but YouTube took my videos down a while back and gave me a “don’t do that again” warning, so it’s been a while since I could show these to people. I often showed this and other similar stuff to people who came over to my place to visit, but now I’ve got them subbed and on the Internet for a wider audience I only hav... Read More >>>
