If you can’t get your hands on a real Xbox 360, then check these plushies out! Even the manliest man can’t deny how cute these plushies are. Just take a look at those tinted cheeks and tell me they’re not adorable?
I think every country has its own YouTube star and Japan is in no way different. Presenting — YukaRitty. YukaRitty is (or was, I’m not exactly sure) a grad school student from the Nagoya University arts and sciences department. YukaRitty has since then become an Internet performer, who hasn’t been seen anywhere without her faithful Mac laptop and white helmet.
This YouTube video features the diva of Aichi prefecture singing a song which is about — of all things — being an elevator. The video was made back in 2006 and I haven’t seen any more documentation of YukaRitty in recent months. Still, I could only hope she’s well, kicking and still spreading infectious geekiness. Now, I know Thursdays are meant for Japanese gadgets but there’s a Mac, there’s a cute geeky diva and there’s the white helmet — I can’t resist.
