Fucked Up Japan

Duke thinks not. Duke should know - he’s a goddamn master of walking, with a very popular TV show on the subject, and even a site on the interwebs. Oh yes, Duke knows everything about the delicate art of putting one foot in front of another. Duke thinks you’re walking like a dirty slut, and that’s why he’s invaded the DS, to give you some private lessons in how to walk properly. You filthy slut, you.

Actually, my ex-girlfriend used to watch this crap and practice her walking abilities. That’s why she’s my ex….

Q-Taro.com made it out to the Tokyo Motorcycle Show 2007 and has a ton of pics, so go check ‘em out. I would have loved to be there myself, even more so because in about a week I will take a Japanese bike driving test! Click through to Q-Taro for more… Classic Japanese cosplay at work here, though sadly the bike she’s standing next to seems to be a really f-ugly high power scooter.

This is a wonderful little viral released by Microsoft Japan to promote Gears of Wars on the Xbox 360, though it’s been out for while now. The schoolgirl is all scared in part 1 (skip that one, its kinda lame), and by part 2, she seems to have developed quite a liking for it. The monster has apparently taken up residence hiding under the bed, as all monsters are wont to do. She tries pulling him out, but then he steals her bunny slipper… Right at the very end, she calls him an idiot (”baka!”) for not coming out.

Anyway, it made me laugh. What the hell it has to do with Gears of Wars, I’m not sure.

For those of you curious who that schoolgirl actually is, she’s 18 (phew) Yuino Saito, and she has a video-log here.

I just found a veritable hoard of decent cosplay shots from FunkyChicken over at Flickr, so go check them out. Here’s a sneak peek of Rei and Asuka, from Evangellion series. Lots of random gothic lolitas too…

It’s been a little quiet here on SecretJapan lately, and the truth is that not a lot weird or wonderful has been going on here. I don’t make the news…

Back with a bang though, as Tokyo Times reports on the latest cosplay fetish fashion to take over Japan. “Mask Musume” (mask daughter / girl), pictured below, features all the usual cosplay uniforms PLUS every shot has the girls wearing a mask! Wonderful! A steal at only 2100 yen, I’m sure you’ll agree.
