It's a 300 million yen lottery....Advertising in Japan is crazy. Everything looks so dramatic.
I have no idea what's for sale here but it seems like it's of the utmost importance.

Vice did a mini-documentary on this quite a while back. I'm still recovering from that shit.
Fixed.

Japan is pretty normal. Mostly.
Oh my Jesus, yes! I walked into a Lawson's at 10:05PM and was told the ATM had shut for the day.

Lawson's ATMs are kinda crappy. I have taken money off a 7-11 ATM at like 3am before, so some work at least.
I still couldn't believe this dude has got a girlfriend. like wtf am i doing with my life

If only there was a 7-11 nearby. I mean, it is getting better, but still not good enough. There's bank ATMs (not convience store ones) within walking distance I can use until 9PM.
It amazes me when I tell old people that you don't have to go into a tiny booth to take money out back home that they ask how you don't get robbed.

What I find most fascinating is that it's normal for them to be sitting in the living room together in the morning; her sewing and him jacking off.

This song is both bizzare and touching at the same time. Lyric translations aren't the best, but get the point across.

Japanese websites, they look like something I made in HTML class in 1995:

Cuteness (as opposed to say, sexiness or hotness) is considered attractive here.
Target audiences?
Focus on youth in media being the 'future' after the "failure" of the older generation during WWII?
Something.

I like the Softbank (Cell company for those who don't know) commercials.

Japan has always been odd.
A number of scroll art from the 1800s depict "farting contests" or "fart battles".
Here's another one from the artist Kawanabe Kyousai in 1867.
This is where they started 150 years ago... so perhaps it explains where they are today

7-11 Japan puts the USA ones to shame as it truly is a convenient store.
You can pay your bills there, buy tickets for the bus/train, refill your prepaid cell phone, buy iPods, eat really delicious and cheap oden, and do a whole lot more than the states. Here we just have junk food store with some gas stations.
Ah yes the talking dog. This one is about the grandma wanting to remarry, and then the man surprises everyone since he looks young.
What's weird is that Softbank wants to buy out Sprint. Why would an outside billionaire select Sprint out of all the other US phone carriers?
I don't see the connection, but OK whatever.

It makes you realize why Love Hotels are an obvious business in Japan... they just don't have anywhere to fuck! And when you fuck in public, you get voyeurs

Didn't 7-11 Japan buy the US company and then turn the old Dallas headquarters into an Asian art museum? Or am I imagining things?
Anyway, most large convenience store chains here are ridiculous in the services they offer.
Which stores are you talking about for the states?

7-11 USA. Weren't they bought out by 7-11 Japan a few years ago?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Eleven
Yes, it seems so, they seem to have purchased a controlling share way back in 1991.
Do you have a source?

You learn something new every day. I read online somewhere that 7-11 in japan has pretty much every service you need for your daily life. Now that's what I call a convenience store.

Off the top of my head:
You can buy pre-pared meals (Japanese-style, pasta, slads etc), vegetables/fruit, bread, ice cream, drinks (milk, juice, soda, beer, wine, sake, whiskey, scotch, premixed drinks, and sometimes vodka), cigarettes, snacks (chips, chocolate, gum, deserts, cookies), coffee, fried foods (chicken, kebobs, fries, dumplings, 'oden'), daily goods, cup soup/ramen, video games, movies, magazines (including porn), comics, umbrellas, batteries, sometimes novels, shirts, make-up, soap, pens, & socks. They usually have photocopiers, atms, and a bathroom, plus the ability to buy concert, train, bus, and plane tickets. And pay bills, as well as pay for and pick up Amazon orders.
You could basically survive off of one. You might get very fat, but you could survive.
Pixelated genitals FTW!
yeah they're fucking nuts, I mean still using a DS phat?

why do characters in japanese cartoons or even cartoons like Pokemon, grunt and make cooing sounds all the time? Or they'll make a fist and they'll make a squinty arrow eye and exclaim "right!" or other affirming grunt. I find it so odd.
