Google map says there is not a way from New York to Tokyo [1]. It shows the direction to European cities, but I am not sure I can follow the direction 24 [2]. Can you swim?
I like this, it makes me smile. Everybody looks happy. Sushi Conveyor [3] in Tokyo. By the way, when I locate Sushi, I eat GARI [4] a lot! Because that is my favorite stuff. GARI is named from the sound of cutting ginger or the texture of ginger (we say gari gari suru). Originally it was a private mark/secret language of sushi cooks like Murasaki (purple) = soy sauce, or AGARI (up) = green tea. Sushi private marks got to be common and customers use them now.
I have never looked at "Fist of the North Star" [5] (北斗の拳) in manga, TV shows, or movies. It’s too violent for me, but I know the story and it’s very popular actually. At the end of this month, their new movie "The Legend of Raoh II: Fierce Fighting Arc" [6] (here [7] is the trailer) will be released in Japan. In the movie, Raoh died. [8] So a few days ago, his funeral ceremony was held in Zen Temple Koyasan Tokyo Betsuin [9]. This is the official site [10] and this is a news site [11]. People had a funeral for Rikiishi of "Ashita no Joe" [12] (Tomorrow, Joe) before. I think this is the second time to have a funeral for a manga character. Ha. You have my sympathy.
