Moekana - o by Danny Choo

2

お (o) for "onigiri"Following on from the previous hiragana in this Moekana series which was え, today we learn "お" (o) which is pronounced like an abrupt "aw". Today's word is "おにぎり” [お握り] (pronounced "onigiri") which means "rice ball" but very often just called by its Japanese name "onigiri".

Onigiri rice balls often have a filling of vegetables, fish or meat and are wrapped entirely or partially in dried seaweed.

The katakana equivalent of "お" is "オ".

Today's model is Mirai Suenaga illustrated by Ikkyu-san.

ExampleYou can use this in a sentence like:-

onigiri wa pantsu ni ireru no dewa nakute taberu no dayo

おにぎりはパンツに入れるのではなくて食べるのだよ

You are supposed to eat the rice ball and not stick it in your pants

ExerciseWrite out "お” 50 times on the face of your parents or guardian with peanut butter and say "お” 20 times while hanging upside down from the nearest 20th floor window.

Any other word that begins with "お" that's otaku or Japan related that you can think of?

All Hiragana in the Moekana series will be tagged "hiragana"

Moekana - e

Moekana - u

Moekana - i

Japan Mode by Danny Choo

Japan Mode is a collaboration with TV Asahi, Dentsu, Panasonic and myself - with two of my comrades after a meeting at Panasonic.

Just like Culture Japan, we plan to roll out Japan Mode to the rest of the world.

Japan Mode is currently my 3rd TV show - Culture Japan being the first and Check Time being the second. I dont have a huge editing team yet so Culture Japan Season 3 will be pushed back to 2013 Q2.

Iron Man 3 Review by Danny Choo

Iron Man 3 [アイアンマン3] came out in Japan yesterday and I'd thought I go and see it with a few readers at Kawazaki Lazona. Posted a note on Facebook and folks from America, Malaysia, Germany, India, Netherlands, Canada and Singapore came along. Was great to meet so many new comrades!

As for Iron Man 3 - was pretty awesome packed with a load of scenes that give you the "I wish I was Iron Man" feeling ^^; I do occasionally check up on Ebay but have never been able to find a decent looking suit that you can actually move about it.

I've loved the Iron Man series since the first instalment and have really enjoyed how the suit evolves through each movie. The new suit is awesome but I wont spoilt it for you by saying more as I didn't see any of the new capabilities in any of the trailers. Japanese trailer below.

I generally try to avoid 3D movies after watching the latest Transformers movie - I could not work out if something was transforming or exploding - was so confusing to watch ^^; But the only showing of Iron Man yesterday was the IMAX 3D showing and turned out to be pretty decent.

Bits which I enjoyed from the movie (clips can be seen in the trailer) is when all the poor souls fall out of the plane and when the zillion variations of the Iron Man suit appear on the scene. If you liked the first 2 movies then I dont think the 3rd will disappoint - just make sure you stay until the end of the credits!

Figure Giveaway Time by Danny Choo

Tis been ages since the last giveaway. Anyway, todays giveaway is being sponsored by the good folks at Toylet who have been in the figure business for ages. They carry a huge selection of figures and ship worldwide.

They are currently having a sale and if you check out the prices and figures you will see that it is indeed a sale - but a sale with a difference! Its not the usually crappy cant-get-rid-of figures ^^;

So whats todays giveaway then? Well this is a photo which has been edited to simulate the eye sight of somebody who has been spending too much time looking at the contents of their oppai_archive.zip on their HDD.

What you need to do is guess what the figure box is on my desk. Out of those who choose correctly, 1 person will be chosen at random and Toylet will send it to you directly.

The figure in question is actually in the giveaway sale list at Toylet. All you have to do is guess which one (you got 2 guesses) and paste in the url and the product title in the comments below like:-

www.toylet.net/061916.html

Robocop Figma Action Figure

And thats it! I'll chose somebody at random this time next week and announce the winner on my Facebook and Twitter with the non-mosaic version of the photo. I'll then contact you at the email address that you used to signup on this site.

If you dont fancy your chances in the giveaway then you can still pick up a figure or two from the Toylet sale.

If the link in the comments turns out non-clickable then its fine - tis a bug in the regular expressions which I'll fix soon ><

Looks like the Milky Holmes girls have also taken a liking to our Saber. Here we have from the left is Mikoi Sasaki [佐々木未来] (green), Sora Tokui [徳井青空] (yellow) and the very funny Izumi Kitta [橘田いずみ] (blue) who keeps trying to kidnap Saber. Suzuko Mimori [三森すずこ] (pink) ran off to a signing session.

Check out their bubbly tune "Ame Agari no Mirai" below.

Yuyushiki by Danny Choo

2 1

As with most 4-koma anime adaptions, there isn't a deep underlying story to Yuyushiki. It simply tells the story of the everyday life of Yuzuko, Yukari and Yui, who are three members of their school's data processing club. They get together and talk about all sorts of things in adorable ways.

Main Characters

Ichii Yui [櫟井唯] played by Tsuda Minami [津田美波]

Nonohara Yuzuko [野々原ゆずこ] played by Ookubo Rumi [大久保瑠美]

Hinata Yukari [日向縁] played by Taneda Risa [種田梨沙]

The official website for the show can be found here.

There isn't a special character page yet, but the website is likely to be updated soon with more information and character descriptions.

There is a poll embedded in this article.

This short trailer comes from last year's Comiket. If it was eaten by YouTube, you should be able to find a replacement with this search query.

The opening theme is "Se~no!" [せーのっ!] and will be sung by the voice actors for the three main characters in the show.
