Japanese Hello Kitty melon

May 25, 2013 by Yein Jee

A melon producer in Furano, Hokkaido, has grown some cute cantaloupes with the image of Japanese’s favourite icon Hello Kitty engraved on the fruit surface.

hello-kitty-melon

The limited item (300 pieces) will be on sale until July 31. I suspect it won’t last until then despite costing 4,980 yen (US$48.53) apiece. Seems steep to most people but high quality melons are priced at this range in Japan, it’s not extraordinary.

Tsuyoshi Kusanagi x konbu sauce commercial

October 8, 2012 by Yein Jee

Japanese pop star Tsuyoshi Kusanagi in a commercial video for Yamasa seaweed sauce. The chicken looks yummy with or without the condiment =)

Kusanagi is an actor and a member of boy band SMAP. He was one of Japan’s biggest stars but his career suffered a dip because of a scandal a few years ago…

Arrest

Police arrested Kusanagi for public indecency in April 2009. It’s reported that he was drunk and stripped himself while causing ruckus at a park after midnight.

He made a quick apology and was not charged, but his public image dropped a lot. He’s climbing back gradually since then but probably still off from his peak.
