Proto Corporation

Proto Corporation believes in 15 hour days, punishment for illness, and destroying its employees – in order to produce vulgar entertainment for the masses.

Keep that in mind next time you see a shitty Japanese magazine.

SMAP: Fashion leaders for a generation of Japanese women.

SMAP in earlier, more "innocent" days.

I don’t “get” SMAP, but when one dances naked in a park, it is huge news, and Kimura Takuya is a big TV star.  This picture is from when they first came out – Enjoy.

Doing a BBQ in Japan.

Doing a BBQ back home was easy.  My mom made the burgers, and I grilled them with chicken on the grill.  Unfortunately, I don’t have a yard in Japan and neither does anyone I know.  The entire thing becomes an irritating “scheduled event”, and I hate non-work schedules. 

The BBQ itself wasn’t quite so bad though.  I’m just glad no one brought any pork.
