Some interesting Japanese facts

I spent this afternoon surfing through some WordPress-powered websites and found some fun facts about Japanese. Let’s sum them up in a non-particular order list

• Japanese are crazy in love with their mobile phones, that’s for sure

• 43% of wives produce audible bottom burps within their first year of marriage (Survey done by Fount of Trivia – Japanese TV Program, translated and published by What Japan Thinks)

• Aya Kamiki is very cute and she plays Rock too, a positive sign for J-Rock, still could be improved

One of her best single: Pierrot, look more attractive than Avril

• Here is the Japanese tie, they even got a subway map at the back. (You can order one here). That’s smart for a workaholic country, but maybe too much for us. Needless to say, Japansese white collar workers work like hell

• They called it Technicolour House, darn sweet rite

• Japanese Emoticon List:

  Follow this formula to visualize: Emoticon ::= Ear (Eye Mouth/Nose Eye) Ear

...and much more. Briliant! I would say

• Most Japanese still watching CRT TVs. Really?

• If I could pick one favourite Japanese actress, I certainly go for Norika Fujiwara, she was stunning in China Strike Force (2000) – classy and charming, the Monica Bellucci of Asia. Which one will you pick?

• Japanese Idols are the most gorgeous babes on Earth. I bet you’ll say the same thing. But Japan only won Miss Universe once in 1959 And this year, it seems that the neighborhood, Korea, will be the winner.

  Update 29 May: Riyo Mori, the 20 years old ballet dancer from Japan, was crowned as Miss Universe 2007, not Korean, not Venezuelan. Sweeeettttttt

• Nissan Murano SUV is smoking hot too :

• The list is on-going, still. I found that VR Project very impressive (You need QuickTime enabled in order to control the screen)

• Only Japanese people have this special fertility festival every first Sunday of April annually. Example photos (Warning: Mature Content – viewer discretion is advised )

• They also created the world’s most complex origami. Each took around 6-7 hours to finish (o_O)

• The Children’s Day in Japan looks like this. Gosh, I’m jealous , try searching Flickr with keyword Kodomo no hi, you’ll find a lot more.

And if you have something to add, fill them below <(^-^)>
