Radio Taiso (Radio Calisthenics)

I used to do the radio taiso on one of the Japanese companies I worked at in the past. The exercise was part of the company policy and was being performed before the start of work. Most of my previous colleagues hate it but I love doing it each and every morning. Radio Taiso, the Japanese radio calisthenics or radio exercise, had a very strange history which rooted way back in 1928 during World War II. You could read more details from this Wikipedia page.

At present, Radio Taiso is still being practiced at schools and some Japanese companies to start the day with good energy and to promote good health. I was told that school kids could receive a reward at the end of the year if they could attend all the Radio Taisou throughout the school year.

Here’s a video showing kids performing the Radio Taiso at a sports festival. Be warned of the sound quality as the wind was getting into the video recorder while filming the exercise. Here’s a better radio taiso video with better sound quality and another one without the annoying commentator. Here’s Ronald McDonald doing the Radio Taiso ;-)

Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls Senhime 1/8 Scale PVC Figure

All I want for Christmas is a Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls Senhime 1/8 Scale PVC Figure!

senhime pvc action figure

I appeal to anyone with a kind heart to please send me a Senhime 1/8 Scale PVC Figure for Christmas. Here it is, the most beautiful samurai action figure I’ve ever seen (technically I haven’t really seen it yet, I only saw a photo from Amazon) and I think I won’t be able to take it off my mind until I could finally receive one for Christmas.

I know there ain’t too much kind-hearted persons remaining so I also appeal to everyone with the vilest of heart to please be my evil santa this year and grab me one of these Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls PVC action figures from Amazon. I know you’re evil enough to grant me this simple wish. Just tip me off in the comment section and I’ll give you my shipping address.

Blame it to our company’s IT. Weird as it is, my internet access in the office only runs from 12 noon to 2:00 in the afternoon. And it was during one of those weird internet browsing time in the office that I stumbled on this Senhime PVC Action Figure on the pages of the Amazon store.

Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls are expensive, I know. That’s why I’m asking you to buy it for me instead because I can’t afford them. PLEASE ;-)

I so love Japan and everything about it but since I wasn’t fortunate enough to be given the chance to live there for an entire lifetime, I made this blog to share to the world my love for for the country and everything in it.
