10+ items you should have with you in Japan

// July 9th, 2009 // No Comments » // Japan, Travel

After basically living in Japan for a month this past May/June, I discovered that there’s things I should also have with me when I’m out and about. A few items are duplicated but usually I would only take one with me when I left the apartment. I hope this helps anyone who is planning on visiting Japan in the near future. Of course, items do vary from person to person so please don’t judge me if I would take something that you wouldn’t.

Pulled some interesting information over from What Japan Thinks regarding which films a Japanese native would recommend a foreigner to watch. So far, I’ve only seen となりのトトロ, 火垂るの墓, and 風の谷のナウシカ =__=; I want to see them all! Anybody seen any other on the list? If you have them can I get a ripped copy or a source where to download them?

Q: Which Japanese film would you most recommend to a foreigner to watch?

Rank 日本語 English title
1 男はつらいよ(シリーズ) It’s Hard Being a Man (Series)
2 七人の侍 Seven Samurai
3 となりのトトロ My Neighbour Totoro
4 武士の一分 Bushi no Ichibun
5 火垂るの墓 Grave of the Fireflies
6= ALWAYS 三丁目の夕日 Always – Sunset in the Third Street
6= 風の谷のナウシカ Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind
8 硫黄島からの手紙 Letters from Iwojima
9 どろろ Dororo
10 DEATH NOTE Death Note

Cosplay fans dance illegally in the streets of Akihabara. You have to watch this. it’s an amazing dance sequence that a bunch of online fans met in real life to dance in the streets, SYNCHRONIZED! It’s so sad though that the cops had to show up and scare the shit out of all the performers.

This next video is of a Japanese toy you can simply enjoy watching when you play your music. I’m awfully tempted to buy one for my office. You can purchase this and other imported toys n’ trinkets from AudioCudes.com!

This one last video is disturbing therefore I must use a lj-cut:

This video is disturbing and you may not want to watch it if you love animals!!!
