Redondo Beach Pier crabs and video games



Polo and I visited Redondo Beach Pier just south of Los Angeles and played some neato vintage video games like Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. Polo also shot some ghosts, but I kept trying to convince him that you can't shoot something that is dead.


After the games, we ate a few kinds of crab.



Nearby is also the tasty Japanese restaurant, Izakaya Bincho.


Here are some other videos with me and Polo for you to peruse.







Help us win 2010 Youtube Japan Award



Takeo and I were nominated for the 2010 Youtube Awards for our song "Scream of Slacker".
Watch the above video to see how to vote. IT's very easy. You don't need a youtube account.
If we win, I think it will be posted on the Youtube Homepage and we will get some fun prizes,
and a nice trophy for Takeo Kun. He really needs a handsome trophy.

Also, please vote for my friends ERicsurf6 and Ciaela and their videos. You'll learn all about them in the above video.

Here is the original video of the song if you haven't seen it.

Kyoto



In this video I visit Kyoto. Kyoto is one of my favorite cities to visit. Kyoto is one of the few cities that was not bombed heavily during the war and so many more old buildings are preserved than in other Japanese cities. It is also the home to the most temples and shrines in Japan. You can wander around the streets of Kyoto for days and days and still make new discoveries.



This video was just posted but it is actually from the Summer. Kyoto is famous for its miserable Summers, and this year's was one of the worst. It was so hot that there were very few people on the street from 11am-4pm . Just walking a few blocks during mid-day made me feel like I would lose consciousness and go into a steamy Kyoto dream land.



Here are some other past videos I made about Kyoto in past years.
