The Japanese invent just about every product before it comes to the rest of the world. Can we expect these soon? chewing gum to make women's breasts grow diet water with only half the calories of regular water candy to make you horny horsemeat flavored ice cream girlfriend's lap pillow milk beer mother's milk vitamins for gamers

Sigh....natsukashii as the Japanese say. It makes me miss Tokyo ...
One of my favorites was weight loss socks. They used to sell them in regular clothing stores and claimed that wearing tem burned 500 calories or something ridiculous, allegedly by constricting the bloodflow to your feet which...did something else,apparently. It was all very pseudoscientific.

"natsukashii" is an all-purposed nostalgic exclamation, like "those were the good old days!" but used in Japanese much, much more frequently. Who knew the Japanese had such a nostalgic streak?

I am a Japan-lover myself It's useful to know that word. It must must 'the sweetness of past summers'... I shall look at the kanji!

A lot of the Takeshi Kitano movies are overflowing with nostalgia -- it doesn't surprise me one bit.

They have a lot of strange ice cream flavors, there used to be this American guy living in Japan teaching English who made regular youtube postings of him tasting all the way-out flavors like squid, horse, and others I can't recall at a giant ice cream shop in Tokyo. It was hilarious for the faces he made.

Just don't get this confused with your roll-on deodorant or your glue stick!

Presumably one places one's order then goes off to do the shopping, pay bills, have a life.....then come back 4 years later to pick up your ice cream.....
