The mix of modern and traditional cultures, the delicious food, great customer service, and the discovery ...

... if that comes across marginally creepy...) all photos and scans from the excellect Anna and Olivia Incidentally, browsing Japanese pop stars satisfies some much needed magazine fix. If I seem like a total Japanophile at the moment, it is because I find the UK editions of Elle, Vogue, ID etal somehow lackluster. It’s refreshing to flip open a magazine and not to recognize ANYBODY (even if I ...

... that Viz made the editorial decision to choose stand-alone stories when picking their "A la Carte", and that the full series is less episodic. This is a book which would, in my opinion, appeal to the Japanophile and the Foodie alike.

... the cycle guy crashed into the condiment tray, à la Gary Wells, and played a dramatic death scene in a pool of soy-sauce blood, as tattooed salt-and-pepper-shaker Yakuza blew everyone away with chopstick machine guns … now you're talking! And a broccoli-stalk Godzilla wouldn't hurt. Maybe Japanophile director Quentin Tarantino could spice up the next spot. —Posted by David Gianatasio

... imagined that Softbank would cram so much crazy into a commercial. I mean, they already had their talking dog, Otousan. But now they've added famed movie director and fellow Japanophile Quentin Tarantino, a speakerphone Otousan (must have!), and some bad Japanese. Love it. I love it, Softbank. Quentin gets a "come home" call from the wifey, which is broadcast over Otousan-speaker. ...

... the ending here, it does clue everyone in who hasn't yet caught on that Herzog is indeed messing with us, and has zero interest in the main cop drama. In fact, the ending reveals that Herzog hasn't been interested in making a drama, but a very manic and oddball comedy about someone becoming an unhinged reptilian beast. Wondering if fish dream, James "Japanophile" Comtois

... based on your answers. My uncle made glasses with his fingers and I made this weird ass face. It was so funny. The Japan store is still the coolest store I've ever been to. You don't even have to be a Japanophile or anime fan to enjoy it - I'm neither, and love just browsing around the clothes and figurines. I bought some super tasty Japanese hard candy. To this day I cannot find the ...

... was a row of Japanese kids sitting in front of us and they were so adorable! I dunno why, but there's just something different about Japanese kids; they just look different from other Asian kids.
