You could try interlibrary loan. The ridiculous thing is that the ebook costs just as much as the out-of-print version.

^thanks. The funny thing is: A long time ago I studied librarianship but since then I was never again in a library, haha.
I will wait until I win in lotto or until the book gets a affordable price. ;-)

$76 for the Kindle version, hahaha get real.

Cheaper than this one, I guess.

Idols and Celebrity in Japanese Media Culture is definitely a book I'd love to own. I should have picked it up much earlier *_*

I have no idea how/why Kindle versions get to inflated prices. It's not like they'll ever run out of digital copies!

It's an academic book, so they price it like a textbook because if a professor assigns it, you have to buy it, I guess. I got it from my university library so I never knew it was expensive.

^ That's great news. I might travel to Paris for that. I still feel guilty that I'm not going to SCANDAL's concert there :(

I wonder if "US" only means "California" like it usually does.

Is Tanaka in on the Apple Watch beta?

Wouldn't surprise me. Kind of hard to tell from that picture but it looks like it.

I just know that when Dempagumi says US, they just mean some anime convention in California. Well, I saw a short set by them when I was in Japan, but I would still love to see them here in America.

right?! I'm not flying to the other coast to see them play for half an hour at some convention. I could do New York.

Maybe one step further to a performance with Momoclo?

Just dropping by to share what I made a couple of months ago. If you want to easily open images from Ameblo posts, you can create a bookmarklet. I uploaded the code and instructions here: http://pastebin.com/udNHkT7Q

Basically, just copy-paste line #13 from that Pastebin to the URL field of a new bookmark, then name it as you wish. Then, when at an Ameblo blog post, or image, click on that bookmark, and it should open the original image(s) as a jpg file in your browser.

There's also the original source code if you don't like to execute a random stranger's code. You can study what it does and then pack it with any Javascript compressor (I used http://dean.edwards.name/packer/).

I use it with Firefox, but it should also work with Chrome. If you use Noscript, make sure you allow ameblo.jp and ameba.jp, and also bookmarklets.

Edit: learn more about bookmarklets here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet

Just saw an ad for Disney Channel Japan. First off, I had no idea what ...things Disney produces apart from animated features. And then hearing them dubbed in Japanese was sooo weird. Anyway, ist any of it useful in explaining idols to people?

Crayon Pop are finally back with a new batch of cool and quirky songs. The video for "FM" will surely result in more "Momoclo ripoff" charges, but forget that and listen to the song. It's one of their best, a return to the pre-"Bar Bar Bar" sound.

Howdy, Stranger!
