全男盛ラーメン(All-Man sized Ramen) in Osaka, Japan.
(I think) according to the website, if you can finish this bowl, you get to dress up in a samurai outfit and get your pictures taken in the ramen shop. If you fail to finish… then you have to dress up like a defeated soldier with an arrow through your head.

Put rice and fries underneath and then cook in the rice cooker.
Authentic Japanese recipe!

Cat ears controlled by brain waves. Not sure if want.
Especially since the video’s description says… “We created new human’s organs that use brain wave sensor.”

Thousands of Japanese people turn out to see concerts featuring Vocaloid software, a synthesized vocals application from Sony which allows users to type in text and convert the speech to song. It’s like text-to-speech software with a musical element.
I can’t not transcribe the lyrics here. They’re too wonderfully Japanese.
To promote the software, Sony created some anime-style cartoon singers like “Hatsune Miku” to personify the different singing voices available from Vocaloid. These girls became so popular that they were integrated into the live concerts bands, and the result looks like this.

WTFFFF IS THIS THE FUTURE?!?!
One of my many favorite favorite scenes from this movie, Tampopo. It’s a ramen (spaghetti) western that is a complete ode to food culture and a satire to Japanese culture in general. PLEASE watch this if you have the slightest bit of affection for food.
I smiled at this movie from beginning to end and my facial muscles hurt. Watching this scene doesn’t spoil anything in the movie, it’s just one many many side stories interwoven with the main plot. Can you tell yet that I LOVE this movie?
WARNING: be sure to be eating something while you watch this movie, because it will make you very very hungry.
“Weird Al” Yankovic - Japanese TV (1984)
Japanese people out-weird Weird Al.
This is just adorable. The guy’s 53. I wish my dad does this.
Once again, Japan has shown me the gayest thing I’ve ever seen. (But then he turned out to be bi).
There are too many parodies in here to count…
How many Japanese people does it take to make AWESOME? 15, in this case.
You’ve seen the picture, now see the video.
