(On the other hand, tonight's sunset over Jersey was freaky enough that everyone in the office agreed the end must be near...)

And I know someone who still vividly remembers the 10,000yen piece of sushi he ate at around the same time.
On the upside, packaging that doesn't open with a simple tear outside of a 100yen store? I'm sure that's not a bad thing for keeping the grey cells active and arthritis at bay. Recession can be good for a nation's spirit... or so I'm told. There's room for a marketing opportunity here. A little 'braintraining' logo for failed, I mean, tricky packaging. Gambarimasu!

I once asked someone to create an icon to represent "bad design" based on this image.

For entertainment purposes only, I was looking over a Tokyo real estate website and found this Mininami-Azabu 3 lot for sale. The price seems awfully cheap for what I believe is an incredibly hip neighborhood. (Generally I'm more into non-hip, but...) A 19.83 square meter lot is small, to be sure, but wouldn't that be large enough to accommodate a 6-800 square foot home?

You had me interested there!
Shame it also says: listed since 29-Oct-08.
With a bit of thought to the design, that's a potential family home. It would be nice to keep an eye on aging family from there.
