NINE IS NEIN NEIN

April 21. After a business lunch it was off to a media preview of the new animated movie "Nine"
Touted as a "Tim Burton movie", it seems Mr. Burton was ONE of a number of producers involved in the flick. The story line involves these little doll like creatures that come to life in a post armageddon world. The nature of this animated feature is that it's not intended for kids! It's a little dark, it's a little complicated,...and it's rather bleak. There are at least 3 messages, possibly a fourth, in the movie, but none of the media people who attended could fathom what those messages were....

On the bright side, I ran into fellow DJ Kato Chika,...

...and Harada Satomi at the preview theatre.... Everybody shared the same view about the movie,..."Um,...yesssss....., um,... different,..."

SAKAMOTO RYOMA LUNCH

Right now, Japan is undergoing a Sakamoto Ryoma boom. Ryoma was a Samurai in the late 1800's, who pushed for Japan to open it's ports to foreign trade and influence following Japan's self imposed closure to all but a few foreign powers.
At the Hotel Grand Court Nagoya's Japanese restaurant, they're having a special Sakamoto Ryoma Lunch....dessert is a pudding which features Ryoma's likeness in chocolate on a small, thin pancake surrounded by Raspberry sauce....
The rest of the lunch is mostly Japanese cuisine, consisting of former marine life and specialty dishes from Ryoma's home domain.
The Sakamoto Ryoma Lunch special runs until late May, and there are Sakamoto Ryoma goods for sale in the foyer of the restaurant. Dessert was good!

HANDY WORK

Went for a ride in an ambulance last night,...sliced my hand open on some glass, and opened a 5cm long, 1.5cm wide and deep gash. Lots of blood and gore,...wish I was able to take a picture of it, but as I was bleeding profusely, and it was a huge cut, I thought I'd better do something about it,...couldn't drive, so I called for an ambo, which took me to an emergency hospital for 10 stitches... had to go back at 6am this morning to have it cleaned again. I was too tall for the ambo, and had to side sideways hanging off the stretcher so they could close the doors.... OUCH!

SOMETHING SHYNX!

One of the PPF team, Miki Chan went to Egypt recently and brought back some papyrus book marks with Egyptian heiroglyphics ... If I hadn't come to Japan, Egypt was my second choice! Maybe I'd be working for Sphynx FM or something like that!

TV SAMURAI

Friday April 16, be watching Nippon TV from 7pm tonight for a new variety programme starring the duo Oriental radio and Hamada Brittany. The 3 came to my office for a shoot and interview last week. Tonight's forst programme features "Strange Foreigners", foreigners who are more Japanese than the Japanese are....
Before the shoot at the PPF office where my armour and antiques are, we shot some footage at Nagoya Castle
In the Nagoya region, Nippon TV is Chukyo TV, Channel 35, 7pm,...see you then,...see me then,...

ASSIE GREEN TEA

Shopping recently I came across Australian produced Japanese green tea,...problem was, they used a British flag to promote it....

There was powdered form Australian brand Japanese green tea...

And bottled form,...good to see another Japan Australia tie up, particularly as this year celebrates the Sydney Nagoya Sister City 30th anniversary, and the Aichi Prefecture Victoria State 30th anniversary. So how does the green tea taste? Dunno, I only looked at it....
