Want to meet other Learn Japanese Podders? Tired of Tokyo and want to party at the foot of mount Fuji with some amazing music? Then come to our Learn Japanese Pod weekend party in Yamanashi on 29th and 30th August. It’s going to be held at the Earth Embassy Odyssey weekend party. The entrance fee is ¥3500. You get a weekend of amazing music, DJs and live bands. There will be food stalls, a bar and cafe plus some other interesting events. (Stay tuned for more information on that)
Getting there is easy. There is a Keio bus that runs from Shinjuku directly to the Earth Embassy. For more information please contact the Earth Embassy or me directy at info(at)learnjapanesepod(dot)com. Alternatively you can twitter me at http://twitter.com/japanesepodcast We also have a facebook event for this here. Please make sure to contact me as soon as possible so I can organize bus tickets for those with no wheels.
Incidentally this Learn Japanese Pod party is our first anniversary party. Doesn’t time fly?!
To make this site even easier to navigate I have compiled all the non-podcast Learn Japanese Pod articles in one easy-to-find list. The articles cover a wide range of topics however Japan, learning Japanese and site information are central themes. Check out the entire article list here.
This video has been doing the rounds on the tangled interconnected series of cardboard tubes and string called the internet. The music used in the video is “Please don’t go” by Barcelona. Apparently, sales of the song sky rocketed after it was featured in the video. What lessons are we to draw from this? If you make a song, make sure it gets stolen and used in an amazing video. This is very inspiring stuff. Perhaps I can do some videos of my travels in Japan with some of my own music.
Another reason I am drawn to this video is I have always wanted to check out Churaumi aquarium. I’ve only been to Okinawa once but it was great. I guess I am too chilled to hack life in Tokyo. Okinawa, here I come.

I was going to write about the various issues surrounding birth control in Japan but on second thoughts I decided to give this one a miss. Suffice it to say, the pill was only made available in Japan as late as 1999 only after viagra became available.
