NTT-Neomeit, an NTT subisidiary, has unveiled plans for a convenient and inexpensive service that allows users to remotely control home devices from their cellphones. Scheduled for launch in September, the “U-Consento” service is designed to be compatible with a wide range of existing home appliances, so users do not need to purchase new devices or perform extensive home rewiring.

To control devices, users access a web page via cellphone and select the desired operations. The commands are then sent via the web to a wireless router in the home, which relays signals to an infrared transmitter and remote control power switches. The infrared transmitter, which operates like a universal remote, relays those signals to remote controllable devices such as home A/V equipment. Easy-to-install remote control switches connected to power outlets allow users to turn on and off the power to lamps and other devices not pre-equipped with remote control.

In addition to being able to control the room temperature, blast the stereo and program the video recorder — all while outside the home — users can also check the current operating status of each device and view records of how each device has been used. According to NTT-Neomeit, this ability to monitor device usage provides a convenient way for users to keep tabs on the activity of their elderly parents from afar.

NTT-Neomeit plans to rent the home remote control system starting at around 500 yen ($4) per month, and service will initially be limited to NTT broadband subscribers in western Japan. Pilot testing will be conducted in the Kansai area from May to August.

Well known by everyone who has ever watched the movie “My neighbour Totoro”, the Nekobus.

There are many Nekobus fans around the world including Zero (I KNOW YOU ARE), and some of them try to create Nekobus replicas in the real world. Here are some pictures I found thanks to Google:

there is a real bus station called “Totoro” in a little village somewhere at the south.

Found these outrageous strawberry sandwiches in an convenience store

and they taste awesome ^^

I’m gonna show some captures I did from a girls magazine called Anan that made a sex special edition some months ago. This magazine made the special with some collaboration from the Japanese Government try to incite Japanese girls to practice more sex and give birth to more girls (One big problem in Japan nowadays). At the first part of the magazine they explain the girls how to turn on their boyfriends, another part is full of typical questions with explanations from an expert and the last one if full of interesting charts. They even included a DVD with real actors explicit explanations that caused a little “revolution” among the girls in my office. Let’s see some of them so everyone can create his own opinion.Note: all the charts are made from data obtained from JAPANESE GIRLS between 20 and 50 years old.

Anan cover some months ago.

Sorry about this NSFW picture… but it’s so funny!

In the previous picture, the top chart (Pink color) analyzes if Japanese girls practice masturbation, and the one in the bottom (Blue color) shows “what do Japanese men think about their couple masturbating”. 57% of the girls do masturbate, 7% never did but they want to do it, 26% don’t do it, 6% are not interested, 4% other. From the blue chart, 44% of the guys think it’s ok that their couple masturbates, 31% don’t really care, 8% don’t like it, 1% don’t like it at all, 16% very happy that girls are doing it by themselves.

With which frequency do you masturbate? 28%, once a week, 22% once every two weeks, 21% every two or three days, 20% once a month, 8% once in a while, 1% every day.

Who has the inicitave?

Top chart (pink) is made with the reply from girls (27% sometimes me/sometimes my partner, 28% always my couple, almost always my couple, 4% almost always me, 1% always me). The second chart(blue) shows the reply from the guys (56% it depends on the situation, 21% my couple, 23% it’s me who starts).

When do you want to fuck? Reply from girls: 1.- When I’ve been a long time without doing it. 2.- When they touch me or kiss me, 3.- When I see erotic images on DVDs or magazines. Reply from the guys: 1.-When they touch me, 2- When I feel lonely, 3.-When I drink alcohol

When did you loose your virginity? 17-19 years 29%, 20-21 years 19%, before 16 years 21%, 24-27 years 9%, after 28 years 2%.

Do you like to practice sex? 25% I like it a lot, 42% yeah… I like it, 19% don’t really like it or dislike it, 9% hate it, 3% hate it a lot, 2% others.

There is nothing strange in these charts, if we make the same questions in other countries the charts will not really change, maybe the virginity one a little bit.
