The predilection for pampering pooches in Japan is well documented, but whereas food and phenomenally fancy outfits are fine for more than a fair few, pushchairs for such pets is possibly, ahem, pushing things a bit too far.
Pushchairs for pooches
Odd
Sickeningly cute character — sort of
In Japan, where there are more cute characters than one can shake a club let alone a stick at, Hackman, it has to be said, is hard to see as the new Hello Kitty.
Riders on the storm
When it comes to motorbikes, a Honda or Kawasaki may well go on forever, and maybe even further, but for many Japanese motorcyclists, a Harley of some kind or another is the machine to have — their shape and especially sound offering something that domestic bikes simply don’t seem to have.
Yet that said, as marvellous looking as this monster may be, its not exactly suitable for work wheels,
might well be considered way more than just a worry.
Inconceivably colourful car
Despite there being no shortage of variations to pick from when purchasing a new vehicle in Japan, a huge number of cars — approximately 78.56% at a rough count — are somewhat insipidly either silver or white. A decision that apparently has something to do with these two colours being easier to sell second-hand, which may, or indeed may not, be true.
However, regardless of the possible reasons, for some at least this kind of favouritism is unfathomable, with one or two even going as far as countering such conformity by not only opting for a less common colour,
but also a combination of all those currently classified.
Along with a dozen or so others that were previously deemed undocumented.
We all live in a silver submarine
Well, OK, it might not be a submarine, but it is silver.
Plus, with its metal panelled appearance,
it certainly looks more sea-bound than suburban.
Along with the added bonus of a bow-like balcony that DiCaprio and Winslet would look only marginally out of place on.
Maybe.
