How to Kiss - An Instructional Video

Totally non X-rated campy video spotted at Metropolis Magazine Tokyo. The magazine (and website) is definitely worth a read for a window into Tokyo (expat) life. Their most-read feature at the moment is this one on the life of a Tokyo bike messenger (bit old but good).

This is a really cool ad even if you don’t want a car battery.

Crude Awakening by Jane Fulton Alt

Jane Fulton Alt is a fine art photographer. Here she presents a series of photos of families as they might look if they have been swimming in oil-coated waters - it is her commentary on the recent Gulf of Mexico oil spill. She says:

Living on the shores of Lake Michigan, I am acutely aware of the disastrous toll the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has taken on all forms of life, especially as our beaches opened to the 2010 swimming season. This environmental, social and economic catastrophe highlights a much larger problem that has inflicted untold suffering as we exploit the earth’s resources worldwide.

We are all responsible for leading lives that create demand for unsustainable energy.
We are also all responsible for the solution and we must work together to protect the balance of life.

Samurai Camp: Japanese launch new war on flab

The video shows a fantastic new workout that is gaining popularity among Japanese women - its basically aerobics with swords to a Techno beat (not heard on the video). Founder Takafuji Ukon says that he liked dancing with swords and he also encourages his participants to practice their disemboweling strokes on imaginary enemies.

Ayako, a student, has a part-time job in a café facing the incessant demands of ageing customers, while Yukiko, a housewife, described her tedious battle with intransigent neighbours. Both denied that — while undertaking 40 consecutive disembowelment strikes — they had any particular person in mind.

Interesting point to note is that the class is an intense cardio session, promising to whittle off up to 5kg in just over a month. In fact, the men who joined the classes couldn’t take heat (or maybe the ferocity of the women?) and dropped out. In contrast, the original Tokyo night classes are now packed with women, and instructors are being trained to export the regime to other Japanese cities.

I would so love to try this!!
