All in all, perhaps not the most appealing apparel in the world.

Moist Japanese menswear
Tokyo itinerant tech?
Japan is quite rightly renowned for its technological advancements, with (relatively) realistic robotic babies and high-tech toilets to name but a few.
However, for some, a more back to basics approach is seen as best.
Although living under a bridge with no electricity, there’s presumably little call for power guzzling gadgets
The option of having something to hang stuff on being about as high-tech as it gets.
Japanese boot-clad biker
Sadly, the image of a young Japanese lady straddling a motorbike and baring a bit of leg is likely to suffer at least some sort of schoolboy-like lewdness, with more than the odd mention of throbbing engines, opening up the throttle and the almost obligatory chortles of chopper.
Thankfully though, such tabloid-style titillation has no place whatsoever on Tokyo Times, as it’s merely a picture of a young couple on a bike at a petrol station. The man in charge simply attempting to shove the nozzle into his ride’s tank with the hope of filling it to the brim and then shooting off as quickly as possible.
Japanese feline-based fodder?
With one Japanese purveyor of packed lunches now offering whale curry, and the nation’s newly expanded ‘scientific hunts’ potentially set to provide humpback burgers, public opinion outside Japan has been far from positive to say the least.
So, perhaps in a bid to make the munching of marine-based mammals seem a little less monstrous, a number of imaginative individuals have customised the popular Japanese winter dish nabe,
to cleverly accommodate cats. With the more of them in there the merrier — or indeed meatier.
Although cramming so many in can be a little laborious, especially when you need to get the lid on.
Creating a meal which arguably makes whale in curry, or even a can, seem almost palatable.
Perhaps.
Japanese Christmas countdown
The agony of hearing Last Christmas on loop along with ludicrously illuminated living spaces means that the festive season can’t be far away.
But that said, the official countdown to Christmas in Japan can’t actually start until the colonel gets kitted out in his costume.
And so, without further ado, let consumption commence.
