This is strange... Last night, a 56 year old man was caught stealing by a group of elementary school boys.
10 students (4 fifth graders and 6 sixth graders) were in the second floor of a library and a boy witnessed a man stealing a wallet out of one of the boys' bicycle basket through a window. He immediately told the others and they all chased him down. Approximately 100 meters away, they cornered him and the librarians called the police. The man immediately surrenders, and none of the boys were hurt.
Oh, and stealing a little boy's wallet wasn't a wise choice for him because it only had 120 yen inside ($1.20).
This is cute. St. Patrick's day (although I'm a little late), is a day we all get together to drink. Well, Irishmen are not the only ones that likes to drink. These "Drunken Oyaji" are cute phone charms that makes fun of the drunks in Japan. There are many different kinds and they all come with slogans.
This can be yours for $4.20! (Oh, how perfect, it makes me think of another holiday that everybody gets trashed on!)

Well, I don't know how it works but it's pretty clever.
iGoogle lets you customize your search page the way you want it. You can add weather, map, translators, and basically anything else imaginable.
Except for art. In Japan, artist iGoogle was introduced, and made it possible for Artists to deck out their page with their creations, and show it off to your friends.
In Japan, Spring is the time of Hanami. During this event, families, friends, coworkers all gather together to picnic under a cherry blossom tree. It's very eventful. 
Unfortunately, cherry blossoms do not stick around for a long time, so the competition of getting a good spot is intense. Often, young people are seen sitting under a tree all morning to reserve their spots for later that evening. In the end, it's all worth it. Parties, food, karaoke, sake, dancing, it's all very festive.
Asian Kung-fu Generation finally came out with a new album! This time, their theme is "world world world."
