Anigao is an interesting fad in Japan. These are models that wear anime girl masks and act like anime girls for an interested photographer, or whoever is willing to pay. In fact, here is one in action:

There's nothing explicit in it...it's just kind of a bizarre moment. D:
Only in Japan.
Also, there's this toy made in Japan that retains its shape no matter how badly you smush it. Here's another video:

I admit, that one is kind of cool.
The Japanese are weird.

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."

That's both adorably kawaii, and yet vaguely creepy, at the same time. Still, I have much respect for good cosplaying (since I've seen a lot of bad cosplaying in my time), and that first YouTube link shows pretty good cosplaying. If someone can do a good cosplaying job, then the more power to them.

Am I the only one that thinks the Shimajiro cartoon is really, really cute? Not the little pantless kid, but the tiger.
Yes, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one.
I'm generally suspicious of any group of people who think it's OK to put mayonnaise, squid, or corn on pizza. That ain't right. >_>;
I LOVE JAPANESE PEOPLE.

It's like, they're dedicated to taking the most childishly enjoyable things, and making them into that thing you always wanted.

Actually that show and G4's Ninja Warrior are both loads more entertaining than any American game show I've ever seen. Really, would you rather see greedy Americans opening briefcases held by bimbos, or crazy Japanese ninja-wannabes making their way through an insanely difficult obstacle course?

To say all Japanese are weird...Is really stupid and stereotypical. Especially how a percentage of them are fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Now the leagl age about being 13 there to get married is unsound. Along with that toy thing..
Some of my favorite scriptures.
Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

...I didn't mean it as a bad thing. I'm weird. I believe in Christ. D: I'm sorry I offended you?
But seriously, if you get offended over "weird" stereotypes, you need to get out more often.
