delightful occasion to check out your local post office. As much as I love visiting Japanese banks in person (lots of pretty ladies), there isn't much opportunity nor necessity to do so anymore. As for ATM locations, they partner with several Japanese...

Why Japanese TV Suckshttps://japanatron.com/blog/japan/show-biz/10053-why-japanese-tv-sucks
The largest and most famous talent agency in Japan specializes in boy bands. After paying their dues as hot pants-clad, pretty-boy singers, these boys inevitably end up being the next generation of actors, announcers, and commentators on TV. Imagine...

The Shrine Drummerhttps://japanatron.com/blog/japan/countryside/10015-the-shrine-drummer
the generous offer. However, I only had about 3 months to go before the end of my English teaching contract. That would be pretty lame to move my whole apartment for such a short time. But in retrospect maybe it would have been worth it after all. Step...

Me to Participate in Outside Activities My parents also pushed me to do things outside the classroom. My family is pretty geeky, so I never clicked well with team sports. Before blossoming into the tower of toned muscle that you see before you, I was a...

I resolved to ride it out, but grab the wheel if something happened. Lucky for me we arrived at the resort alive. He was a pretty good drunk driver. I'll give him that. He insisted on giving me his phone number asking that I call him when I'm ready to...

doesn't notice his askew wig. I shoot the girls a look that says, "Don't laugh. Don't do it. Hold it in, ladies." It's pretty awkward and has added an element of challenge to the class. Go Slow We started a new "semester" cuz the Japanese financial and...

went surprisingly well. I was really worried cuz we practiced for almost 6 hours on the day of the show and my voice was pretty tired as a result. But I'm happy with how the show came out. We even videotaped it. Hahaha...our guitarist used my $45 guitar...

Comedy is all I want to do, so I didn't really care. Have YouTube videos opened any doors for you? Yes, YouTube has been pretty good to me. It's mostly helped with social networking. For example, people see my videos and decide to check out my live...

means packing the place (cuz the bars are so tiny). I botched up the lyrics on one newer song, but I think the concert went pretty well overall. Cow Soap I decided to try a different brand of soap affectionately known as "Cow Soap." Each bar was...

the bowls and plates clean, thus saving me from having to do the dishes. I also took a stab at making sangria. It came out pretty good, and the taste reminded me of my trip to Spain just before moving to Japan. It was kinda funny drinking sangria in...

out to be extremely professional musicians (most working as studio players), so my fears were unfounded. The show went pretty well, and you can see some of the videos on my website. Kumejima, Okinawa Kayo and I went to Okinawa--a first for both of us....

I Was A Freakhttps://japanatron.com/blog/other/general/10066-i-was-a-freak
love-is-over shattered-hopes poem as a personal therapy session. It made me feel much better, and I think it was a pretty damn good poem, albeit anger-tinged. Lessons Learned Although I look back upon this phase with abhorrent bewilderment, I have no...

this idea would've sounded bizarre as I loaded a $5 flat of Costco strawberries into my SUV. Sure, they're not wrapped all pretty and some berries may even prove freakish or sour, but I got a whole flat of them for only 5 bucks. It's not necessarily a...

Japan's Smoking Addictionhttps://japanatron.com/blog/japan/general/10083-japans-smoking-addiction
The no-guns thing over here is really holding this country back. Nothing gets problems solved like lots of guns. I can pretty much guarantee that smokers will be convinced to quit when asked at gunpoint. Sure...the smoker may have a gun too, but it's a...

Take Off Your Shoeshttps://japanatron.com/blog/japan/general/10092-take-off-your-shoes
I just killed 2 birds with 1 stone. They're not that hard to find. Skechers makes a bunch of different kinds, and they're pretty cheap. Do it. You'll thank me. If it's one thing Japan has taught me, it's this. I'm passing this knowledge on to you, and...

trial run, so hit it hard from day 1 to see if it's for you. MuCommander This is a free option, and considering that, it's pretty good. But given the issues I had with getting it to work with my ReadyNAS, I soon gave up on it. If you're simply looking...

wasn't happy with the sound and build quality. My current one is the relatively new Roland Duo Capture EX. This one seems pretty good, but honestly I have yet to try it out on stage. Now I see Apogee has several out, so apparently iOS audio interfaces...
