Rising actress Jang Ja-yeon, who was currently starring in the Korean drama adaptation of Hana Yori Dango (Boys over Flowers), was recently found to have committed suicide at her home in Bundang, Gyeonggi Province.
Jang’s death marks the third celebrity suicide to hit the Korean entertainment industry in the past 6 months.
A recent event in Nagoya was held for itasha – cars carefully decorated to appeal to otaku sensibilities, while at the same time becoming repellent to commoners and thus earning the name of itasha, “pain cars”.
Some excellent examples of the art from the event, Ita-D Dorecon Matsuri, are shown below.
Miniature sensation Minka the Maid, the unknown maid who has been charming Nico-goers with her dancing skills, has been joined by her “elder sister”, who appears a similarly skilled dancer, and who appears inexplicably dressed as a panda.
They are dancing to “Cirno’s Perfect Math Class”, a Touhou tune:
A female athlete who won dozens of medals has discovered that she was in fact a man all along, leaving her no choice but to return her many awards.
The otaku consumer’s desire for more and more elements of the otherwise normal world to receive the ita treatment is far reaching, resulting in such varied goods such as packages of rice, curry, tanks, and of course the quintessential example of the itasha.
Below are a few examples of the ubiquitous USB memory stick that have undergone the procedure, mostly from hardware firm Buffalo, which seems to be resting comfortably at the top of the ita-USB memory market at present.
We have seen previously some very convincing cosplay of queen of virtual idols Hatsune Miku, but in this case the cosplay troupe assembled is more likely to induce nightmares and panicked flight than it is a queue of eager photographers.

At the Modern Toilet, a popular Taiwanese restaurant chain, currently expanding into China and other parts of Asia, patrons pay for the privilege of eating curry, pasta and chicken served from plates bearing more than a passing resemblance to toilets.
Drinks come in cups shaped like mini urinals. Better yet, the shaved ice desserts come on dishes shaped liked squat toilets with names like “diarrhea with dried droppings” (chocolate), “bloody poop” (strawberry) and “green dysentery” (kiwi).

i've actually been to one in HK it's hilarious and the food is...just food the desserts are....well....taste nice but they do look like fecal matter... More
Asu no Yoichi has in its ninth episode earned some attention from fans for its painstaking inclusion of some decidedly suggestive licking action, along with some alluring nekomimi pantsu…
Sanrio and X Japan have announced that they would be collaborating for the X Japan’s World Tour Live concerts, bringing their renowned Hello Kitty brand into a new world of eccentric hairstyles.
The new look Hello Kitty, or now known as “Visual-kei Hello Kitty” was created by owner Sanrio specifically for this tour.
"This is the first time that a Sanrio created character has had a collaboration with a real life band" That's false, Sanrio had a collaboration with their famous character "Hello Kitty" and the rock band Balzac... More

For some reason Osaka, of Azumanga Daioh, is treated to her own suitably chaotic MAD, utilising the “Gourmet Race” meme:
Police have come under fire after it emerged they stopped a schoolboy for interrogation, as he was wearing a dark veil, and then asked him if he was a member of the Taliban, the former Islamist rulers of Afghanistan, adding insult to injury.
His veil was in fact due to being afflicted by porphyria, an illness rendering the skin highly susceptible to the sun.
This video shows a moesome maid posing for a webcam and playing a computer game from the privacy of her bedroom.
Yet, as with all traps, there is a surprise to be discovered that may or may not be disconcerting, depending on your preference…
