Our good friend, Lisa Katayama of Tokyomango (and Boing Boing) fame recently wrote about the wonderful world of Kit Kat in Japan (and beyond).

		<description><![CDATA[The name Inakadate usually doesn&#8217;t conjure up any specific imagery of Japan in one&#8217;s head. It has a population of around 8700 people and it is situated about 965km (600 miles) away north of Tokyo. Mount Fuji, vending machines, futuristic miniature technologies, karaoke, boxy cars, pokemon, anime, maid cafes, cosplayers, mechas &#8230; have nothing to [...]]]></description>

Ladies, are you overly shy? Can&#8217;t get up the nerve to talk to that cute guy in your building? Hurtin&#8217; bad after a break-up? If so, order Miterudake For Lady a self-help DVD that helps shy women gain (or regain) their social savvy.

&#8220;Miterudake&#8221; means &#8220;only looking&#8221; in Japanese  and that&#8217;s just what this curious [...]]]></description>

To help celebrate Meiji Chocolate&#8217;s 84th anniversary, Bandai had decided to make a special line-up of Meiji &#8220;Infinite&#8221; (Mugen) chocolate. The item allows one to enjoy the sublime thrill of breaking off a piece of chocolate from the bar, again and again, sugar &#38; calorie free. Sweet! More info and pics after the jump.

Sorry for the slow updates as of late. The team at JHYPE had been in great demand outside the internet world for a change (i.e. working hard to pay off our christmas indulgences). We will eventually return to normality with more wacky and wonderful Japan.
