Where the hell was I when the video game Pikmin was released? (The title comes from English--"pick me!", though, not "pygmy," as I originally thought.) And why did I only find out today (from the Full Metal Archivist, of course) how popular this song by Strawberry Flower was across Japan not so long ago? Do not click on this link unless you don't mind having "Ai no uta" in your head the rest of the week.
Apparently sarariman really identified with the little plant-animal hybrid characters who blindly follow that space dude, usually to their deaths. Go figure. Anyone ever play this?
Mostly Harmless pop quiz: spot the differences between the American and Japanese commercials!
