I don’t like posting just a single youtube clip or what not on my blog, but I really like the way this video was done and such.
Check it out.
新宿御苑、エコ教育みたい、Shinjuku Imperial Garden、Eco Education
by James in Environment, General, Japan, Travel on May 3rd, 2008
Tuesday marked the first day of golden week, a period in Japan where there are a bunch of national holidays back to back in which most people get a good solid 5 days off from work. It’s like a national spring break.
Most people travel around Japan and it is one of Japan’s big travel [...]
Happy Earth Day!
by James in Environment, General, Japan, Travel on April 20th, 2008
Happy Earth Day! I was going to write a large post on the environment for this post but going out into Shibuya/Yoyogi today completely drained me.
Today though in Yoyogi Park there was a huge Earth Day celebration. This year the theme was “Shift Green”. Unfortunately I arrived too late to see any of the [...]
久しぶり〜会わなかった人, Person who I haven’t seen in a long time
by James in General, Japan, Travel on April 18th, 2008
Last sunday I met somebody I haven’t seen in almost 2 years. My host sister Mai from Nagoya was in the area so we were able to catch up and have dinner in Sakuragicho.
We went to, I forget the name in Japanese, but it’s an old red brick warehouse that has been converted into [...]
過生ら祭り、川崎、Kanamara Festival Kawasaki, Penis Festival
by James in General, Japan, Travel on April 12th, 2008
This post has been sitting in a draft for almost a week as I tried to figure out what to write about. What was the major event. I decided there really wasn’t one major thing that stuck out in my head. It was rather just the photos. A photos is worth a thousand words so [...]
Byōyomi 1.0
by James in General, Japan on April 3rd, 2008
It’s been far too long since I’ve updated lomohut. Apologies for that. I spent a lot of my break working on a new application for Sugoi Software, my mac shareware business. For about three years I have had only a single product, Jisho. That was until April 1st when I released Byōyomi.

ジェーコブと浅草と上野で遊そぶ、Playing in Asakusa and Ueno with Jacob
by James in General, Japan, Travel on March 16th, 2008
Jacob came in to town and after a good night’s rest the first thing we decided to do was give him a dose of Japanese culture. And possibly get on TV 4 times.
As we were walking down the main path it suddenly came to a halt. I saw a boom mike in the air [...]
江ノ島２, Enoshima Part II
by James in General, Japan, Travel on March 9th, 2008
I think it’s safe to say that the worst of winter is gone and spring is breaking through in Japan. To celebrate this Yumi and I decided to hit up Enoshima. I haven’t been there since August during the Enoshima Hanabi.
The contrast between the two visits is huge. Day vs. Night. Being more proficient in [...]
Train them while they are young
by James in Environment, General, Japan on March 5th, 2008
As a child some of my favuorite books were those of Dr. Seuss’. I hadn’t realized until expressed by a professor in Economic Geography about a year ago that social undertones in children’s can effect the norm by the time we reach adulthood.
His example was Dr. Susses with the book titled “The Lorax”. The [...]
ケイタイの常習でアメリカと日本を比べる、Comparing Japanese and American Culture by Cellphone Habits
by James in General, Japan on February 20th, 2008
When people think of Japan one of the first things they think about is their advanced cellphones. The difference between the capabilities of Japanese cellphones and American phones is really astounding.
With Japanese phones I can of course do the regular email, surf the internet, take photos, videos, play music, buy music, scan barcodes and [...]
