Top 1 video on Japanese Youtube Explained, スーパーニュース「当て逃げ動画」

This video became the top 1 in youtube Japan and also in all Youtube videos, but why is causing so much fuss? how to understand what is happening for us who don't understand Japanese?, well as you can see in the video a driver had a videocamera in his car, then another car crashed on him, and then he run to avoid the payment of the damage, in the video you can see the car plate number, so the guy went to the police station with the video and they did not do anything, so the video guy uploaded the video in youtube and it posted in his blog, and then people wrote in his blog and gave to him the address number and the name owner of the car, so he was able to make to pay him the damage of the car, and people is very angry because the police was very lazy in this case.

Treadmill of Death Sprint Game On Japanese Tv "a la" Hana Yori Dango

"The object of the game is to try to get the cookie and eat it from the 4 stations that are located next to this huge treadmill. In order to get to the stations you must run on this floor length treadmill after you get the cookie from the station the treadmill’s speed is increased. Can they keep up with it?"
The contest is named "Running Cookie". The weird thing is that the set and the school uniforms are the same as the Dorama Hana Yori Dango, and the names of the Team is named F2 but the Dorama one was named F4

Ninjas are not myths or fantasy they really exists even in this times, in the past they where used to do espionage, assassination, and infiltration, because Bushido, the Samurai Code, forbade such tactics as dishonorable they where always used by shoguns secretly, but they where very important in the history of Japan, the region with more ninja organizations was Iga and Koga, one of the most famous ninja was Hattori Hanzo,

Kodomo no nomimono - Japanese beer for kids


From the site Killian-Nakamura, we just saw this product that is interesting, of course I can see the face of Christian Gaijins screaming in fear, but in fact it could help fathers to avoid their kids to drink real alcoholic drinks, kids always want to imitate their fathers and they want to say Kampai with all the family and this is a good way, also when they taste the real beer they wont like it if is compared with the kodomo beer.

Fast Food is a real problem in Japan

We all know that Japanese people lives a lot, and that they look young at very high age, one of the reasons is because the food they eat is very healthy, Fish, Rice, Green Tea, Udon, etc and almost all is boiled, but now teens are starting to prefer Occidental Fast Food, we all know how bad is that food, we love it but is evil for your heart, why this happens? well I bet is just because for Japanese teens occidental food is exotic, as for us Japanese food is exotic too

The Japanese Traditions Green Tea 日本の形−茶

Genetically, oriental people get drunk faster than us gaijins, why is that?
well in the past we, gaijins invented wine and beer, wine and beer can be stored in barrels for long time, and kills most microbes, sea expeditions wouldn't be able to exists, in Japan instead rum or beer, they used some leafs from plants and boiled the water so the water was "cleaned" from microbes, and then we gaijins become genetically stronger to deal with alcohol than Japanese, yeah they have sake an alcoholic drink but they drink it in small cups and they don't dilute it, sake haves 13% a 16% of alcoholic contents is not much if you compare it with tequila or rum for example which can be from 40% to 55%, OK lets back to the topic Green Tea is what Japanese drinks more, and they refer it as Ocha お茶, and they even have a very complex ritual to make Ocha, of course modern Japanese don't do all that ritual every time they want to drink green tea, they just use an electric coffee maker, they just boil water in the stove or more easy, you can get it from vending machines, also I guess they drink cold green tea when its summer and hot green tea when is winter, correct me if I am wrong.



This video haves some humor, so dont believe all
