The Sound of (almost) Silence - Reviewing King Jim's MM-1000 Digital Earplugs

My latest review:

Back on one of our Untitled Tokyo Two Man Tech Shows, we discussed a product that a Japanese stationery and gadget company, King Jim, had just released. At the time we called them noise cancelling earphones and wondered how they would perform being that King Jim isn’t really a known purveyor of quality audio equipment. We have since spent some time with their MM-1000 Digital Noise-Cancelling Earplugs and can tell you a little more about them...

Ylvis - The Fox (What Does The Fox Say) Japanese Cover

It is not quite on the epic scale of the original but the fact that they went this far and did it this well impresses the hell out of me. This is a really well done cover. Worth a watch and doubly worth a share.

Now I wanna see Michan (the main man behind this cover) do some Original content that's this good.

Girls bars are basically bars for guys.

Yes. That makes sense. They are bars staffed by girls chosen for their looks. They pour drinks, they make small talk and they let the patrons hit on them and make them think they have a chance. They are not quite the same as hostess clubs but I  have never been to one of the latter so I cannot say how :p

Regardless This particular one in Kabukicho has a rather EPIC name.

I think I managed to snap one of the staff in the alley around the corner.

Like if you like it, share it with all who you reckon would appreciate it, and thanks for watching my stuff.

I shot Ken Watanabe!

Okay so did every other press photographer at the NTT docomo summer launch... but I was there

 and I shot him! SO THERE! 

He was one of the celebrities who star in docomo's new commercials and he was there saying a bunch of positive stuff about docomo's phones that they payed him to say (as one does)

Though when he wasn't earning his paycheque, he didn't really seem like he wanted to be there.

I also shot Tori Matsuzaka, Maki Horikita and Satomi Ishihara.

Head over to Akihabaranews.com to find out more about the actual event, see all the other pics I took there and find out about docomo's phone and tablet lineup for 2014.
