Nico Nico Douga is one of the most popular websites in Japan, it has most of the weirdest and wackiest videos that you could never find from other video sharing sites like Google. As for the fans of Japan, it is no wonder that they’d want to see what’s going on at Nico Nico Douga, by going there to see their hopes; they are confronted with a big obstacle, REGISTRATION…
The site being Japanese is obviously a hassle for those who don’t speak Moon, so this article is dedicated for those fans that always wanted to see what’s going on at Nico Nico Douga. But of course, we have another service that gives you access to videos from Nico Nico Douga without registration, but in any way as a fan, we have to register….
Here we see a Gundam deployed on a street in Tokyo where by passers don’t seems to be alerted.
The photoshop work seems to be of a high quality that the Gundam almost look natural over the scene. A Gundam plastic figurine might have been the source of the model on the picture since it’s 3D, realistic and appropriately posed.
Note that the pic is old, but this is brought up to match the previous article about the recent Gundam statue erected from Odaiba for the 30th aniversary celebration of bandai.

Japan manga man revives story-telling with modern twist
Rikimaru Toho doesn’t mind being stared at as long as he can hold the gaze of passers-by long enough to entice them to stop and sit down for an unusual show: a comic book reading.
And stay they do, hunched on low plastic stools inches away from Rikimaru, who offers the equivalent of an animated movie for the ears, his vast vocal registry bringing to life any character, from humans to robots.
The roaring overhead train, orange street lamps and the station walls comprise the setting for his performances of “manga” comics in Shimokitazawa, the cradle of Tokyo’s underground culture.
“I find it appealing to do, and to offer something that one doesn’t usually experience,” said the 34-year-old, whose real name is Satoshi Arikawa.
“By making all kinds of voices including female ones, I enjoy watching my audience’s reactions, and I am very grateful to them,” he added, with a slight bow of his head.
With long, black, dishevelled hair held in place with a rudimentary bandana, along with glasses and a black goatee, Rikimaru’s looks invite as much curiosity as his punchy voice which swings between bass and falsetto.
From action hero Kenshiro of the popular “Hokuto no Ken” series to the earless blue cat Doraemon and the lovelorn heroines of “The Rose of Versailles,” Rikimaru has done them all. And that’s not everything.
Danny Choo from DannyChoo.com tells us his experience about the new Fiber Optic/Optic Fiber/Optic Fibre Connection he recently bought.
Some of his reasons are:
-Can physically keep our private home network separate from an externally facing server – rather not have our private stuff on the same network.
-Want to have the freedom of disconnecting our private optic fiber modem for various reasons – cleaning up, moving things around etc – cant really disconnect the line for a live server all the time.
-Save 12,000 USD per year that some of the dedicated hosting costs.
-The most important reason is so that I can learn the process of how to do all the settings involved in setting up a server at home from scratch.
Surprising (at least for me) is that the optic connection he got is at 100Mbps! A Hikari line from NTT which costs a measly 1,022 yen per month for the first year and goes up to 6,720 yen for the second year. It’s a Flets Home Type promotion that he found on kakaku.com. With that promotion, he doesn’t pay the setup fees and modem rent. Nice… Compared here in my region, 768kbps with 1.2mbpsSpeed-on-Demand costs 899 php which is about 1700 yen and installation fee is 1999 php. A 2 mbps would be a luxury here…
