Yes. This is my excuse for a New Years Post.
The NukMe, a product who’s name is just as awkward as how you look wearing it, is the recent Japanese solution to the US’s Snuggie. I discovered it the other day at the Japanese alternative to Blockbuster near my house.
According the description, the NuKMe is “a blanket which covers your body completely. The NuKMe is an Extremely Popular product!!”
For all of you not up to date with the Snuggie, here’s a commercial that aired stateside.
The one thing is the name. I’m guessing it’s derived from Nuke – as in, “I’m going to nuke some soup in the microwave”- and Me, but still, the name just seems like it could easily be misinterpreted, or become a bad joke, of something more inappropriate. Hmm

I found the children’s Christmas book section at a store. And then under that is the Christmas Cake we bought at Baskin Robbins.

Well, I took the JLPT level 2 yesterday.
I did really good on my practice tests. Scoring with room to spare enough to pass.
Yesterday…not so much.
Meh.
No interesting picture or anything.

So, I was just walking around Shibuya, as I tend to do after school for a bit just because it’s fun, and then I noticed next to me that they were filming a TV variety show starring Hamada Britney, who’s famous for being highly-gal fashion, a comic author, a model, as well as a (rich) homeless girl who sleeps in Karaoke booths.
If you watch the special (It airs on Dec 24, actually), you may actually see me in the background. Looking like one of those complete idiots who once he see’s a celebrity he begins to take pictures from his phone.
I tried waving at her at one point after the shooting. She didn’t wave back. :(
