This Japaneseque video is what YouTube was made for!

Marvel in wonder at this frolicking Japanese man wearing a horse mask and a slingshot mankini as he brews up a batch of Amanita muscaria aka Sacred Soma magic mushrooms. –2008/Jan/28

UPDATE!
It has taken more than a week for Boing Boing to discover my Horsehead Freak is, “a performance artist from Japan that goes by the name of WOTAKEN” whose website is at http://katura.is.land.to (funky machine translation).

The background music is from Final Fantasy VI complete with the Kefka laugh while he frolics around making his own special Final Fantasy Potion.

Similar to a booty call in English, getting a “Morning Call” in Japanese can both mean the regular wake-up call one can ask for in a hotel, and also getting call from a lover first thing in the morning.

The Unilever line of deodorants*, AXE, is offering a sexy “Wake-Up Service” at www.0120-084-544.com and at the Japanese toll-free phone number, 0120-084-544. These wake-up call girls will only work on cellphones with a Flash player in their browser and of course calling a Japanese toll-free phone number from outside Japan is going to be problematic.

*Also problematic for AXE is that Japanese detest using strong deodorants like AXE since they think they only non-Japanese stink.

The BareKichi.blog reported on a variety/comedy program on Japanese TV has been running a sketch following the sad lives of the GUNDAM, 28 Years After their prime.
The Gundam force is now they are now eeking out a living in a small Japanese company that trades off “PachiSlot” video games based on their Gundam glory days.
