Kakefuda Kyoto – Famous Furoshiki Store

Posted on June 5th, 2010 by admin

During Golden Week 2007 we visited Kyoto. During our stay we went to one of the famous traditional “furoshiki” or cloth wrapping stores. The quality and colour of the material was amazing. We even got to see the furoshiki that Mick Jagger bought last year!

Japanese Condom Machine

Posted on May 28th, 2010 by admin

I was jogging through what is normally a super empty filed/park, only to find thousands of kids! It’ was Golden Week in Japan and there were tons of people there in Showa no Mori, ??????It’s about two hours away from Tokyo.

I was going to go surfing the next day but it was pouring rain! So I connected this video to another footage I had of a condom vending machine.

I really should do a video on all the crazy fish they have at the super markets in Japan.

Thanks for your comments and video requests! You all rock!

OLD SCHOOL JAPANESE CAR MONTAGE!!!

Posted on May 25th, 2010 by admin

Were ahead of our time…are you???

JASSIC is a term coined by Brenda Ayala and Diasiss in June of 2006. The moderators of http://WWW.JASSICS.COM have originated this term to describe a Japanese classic car and culture. It is combined from two words – Japanese and classic.A JASSIC can refer to many cars considered Japanese and classic, but the word classic as used with the term JASSIC doesnt necessarily mean a Japanese car 25 years or older. It is used with this definition of classic below.

CLASSIC

Belonging to the highest rank or class;
Serving as the established model or standard-a classic.
Having lasting significance or worth; enduring.

ORIGIN

http://WWW.JASSICS.COM moderator DIASISS known for being controversial, innovative, and ambitious, was becoming frustrated with most car cultures not recognizing Japanese cars and their controversial urban culture. In an attempt to combat popular culture and solve this problem he thought it would be wise to invent a coined term to which he is quoted saying if you can know a car type and culture by simply saying American Muscle or Tunerwhy not a term for the ghetto and urban old-school Japanese cars and culture!!! Brenda Ayala suggested, why not call them JASSICS??? which caught on very quickly and was very well received once used.The term was also created to make a statement to the car world that Japan CAN make a classic car and can be recognized as a force and rival for American and European classic cars to reckon with.. The terms JASSIC and JASSCAR (Japanese classic car) have caught on very quickly since

STYLE

Not to be confused with Tuners, JASSIC culture has a very new approach to the car world. JASSIC cars can be defined as, but not limited to80s 70s and early 90s Toyota’s, Nissan’s, Mitsubishi’s, Acura’s, Infiniti’s, Lexus, and Mazda’s with style and aggressive design that look like they were designed to make a statement of pride to the Japanese car world and world alike. This is being done without excessive and overdone commercial friendly customizing. Some notable Jassics include:

Mitsubishi Starion’s/Chrysler Conquest TSI’s
MK1,MK2 and MK3 Supra’s
Early model Nissan Maxima’s
Classic Nissan Z cars
Classic Mazda Rx7’s

The motto of http://WWW.JASSICS.COM isYES JASSICS CAN!!!

Some catch-phrases of Jassics.com are JASSICS…the final car statement, “The NEXT car movement”, “you’re either with us…or behind us!”

RJL Vlog #9 – DIY Okonomiyaki (??????)

Posted on May 25th, 2010 by admin

**WARNING** This vlog might make you hungry! ;)

Had a great dinner out the other night with my good friend, Miymi.

She took me to a cook-it-yourself okonomiyaki restaurant. I really like okonomiyaki, altho I don’t eat it all that often. Many Japanese restaurants feature a similar DIY theme, but this was the first time I’d eaten okonomiyaki this way.

Enjoy!
-Jason
