FLOOD... Time ! ^^

Did you know that the cities and prefectures of Japan have kawaii
mascots? I don't know what any of these things are — I look at this mess
and just see Valerie Cherish as a giant cupcake
— but I really love the idea of cities having adorable mascots. Ugh, so
sick of sports hogging all the good shit in America! (I'm looking at
you Harry Elephante*!) Last
weekend, 141 of these costumed insanators (called "yuru-kyara")
gathered in Sasebo to "make their mark on history" by performing the
largest group of mascots to do the same dance together. No shit, this is
something that's in the Guinness Book of World Records, and you can see
someone from Guinness walking around and inspecting the dance.
They
performed their synchronized dance number to a song called The Beard
Dance by comedy rock band (?) (Kinda like Spinal Tap?), The Drifters.
According to Rocket News, the yuru-kyara has to complete the
five minute dance with 95 percent accuracy to set a new record. An
earnest question might be: Who the fuck are they beating out? Probably
another group of yuru-kyara.
But did they do it?!

Although
the yuru-kyara earnestly and enthusiastically shook their tiny arms and
bulbous bodies to the music, they twice failed meet the requirements.
However, 134 mascots put in a flawless performance on the third try and
succeeded in setting the record! Congratulatory music played and the
characters jumped around hugging each other, completely lost in the
moment. Could there be any happier sight on planet Earth than 141 giant
cuddly creatures dancing and embracing? We think not.

Congratulations!

How romantic! Japanese computer peripheral maker I-O Data is teaming
up with a confectionery maker named Maple House for a special campaign
in which three lucky individuals will get chocolate that's shaped like a
memory circuit board. Because additional memory looks delicious. The
boards are incredibly detailed and realistic—so much so that I-O Data
is reminding people that you cannot put it in your computer! Each "Love
Memory Board" is handmade, so it's impossible to mass produce them.
Well, I guess it is possible, but it would be really freakin' hard!

winners will be selected from shoppers on I-O Data's online site. The
chocolate marks the company's 33rd year making memory components for
computers.

je sais pas s'il y en a qui on l'intention d'aller voir le prochain film de la série Die Hard qui est ''une belle journée pour crever''.

bref, au japon vue que le film sort a la st-valentin.... ils font les choses en grand.... je suis sur que bruce willis lui même va faire son fameux petit sourire ayant vue cela.

As part of a promotion for A Good Day to Die Hard, a life-sized chocolate statue of John McClane (née Bruce Willis) was wheeled out for a press conference this evening in Japan. The
flick opens on February 14, which is Valentine's Day—hence the
chocolate. Shame the statue doesn't really look like Bruce Willis. But
life-sized chocolate! If one good thing comes out of A Good Day to Die Hard, it'll be this. Yippee-ki-yay and all that jazz.
