We’re on vacation so we’ve got no stories for you this week, but we have a fun little chat about what we do for fun here in Japan.
Coming up on this week’s show we’ve got some more information about the December weekend in Tokyo, our ongoing MSG keychain contest, the Kansai Anime Expo and a very suspicious character stopped by customs in LA. (Despite his shady character, it’s wasn’t Hiroki.) Also, we’ve got nine reasons to love Japan! All that and more on this week’s Bad Communication!
We kick off this week’s show catching up with our old friend Amanda Taylor from Whoa…I’m in Japan? and talk a bit about her impressions of the country collected over the past six months. We move on to some great articles talking about the floundering sales of the Nintendo 3DS, a survey of the countries that like the US the most, a very… detailed dental training robot, yet another underwear thief and a discussion about whether or not owning a car in Japan is beneficial or a liability. Thanks again to our returning guest Amanda Taylor. Don’t forget: we’ll be doing this live on USTREAM every Monday night at 8:30pm. See you then!

We’re a bit sluggish during the pre-show, but we kick it into gear for our “over the hill” episode of Bad Communication. Even though we’re on vacation, we bring you the finest in news out of Japan for the past week including a book review for “Japan. Funny Side Up” by Amy Chavez, an unruly Brit who voiced his opinion about noisy Japanese elections, a walk-in display made with flat screen TVs, a track pick, a pick pick, a top ten all about technology and a bit of iPad 2 talk to round things off. Have a very golden Golden Week everyone!

We screw up some of the sweet sound effects coming from Andrew’s new iPad app, but we make up for it in spades with Mully, our guest on the show for this week. There was a lot to talk about this week, and we only get through half of what we were hoping to, but what we did, we did right! We talk about radioactive milk and spinach, a similarly themed pic pick, beautiful sculptures made from recycled chopsticks and do a top 10 weird and bizarre Japanese soft drinks!
We have our first glitch-free live show and have a great turnout in the live chatroom. With the chat running wild, we still manage to talk about anti-groping cameras, our favorite faithful dog Hachiko, a hilarious Subaru Forrester commercial with lots of sexy sumo wrestlers, a top ten list of things men don’t want their wives or girlfriends to know about and a story about Kishidan’s poor choice in costumes. With the Bad Communication Podcast, sexy comes standard!
We have two surprise guests on the show for our last episode of 2010. Mully and Zionviller call in and lend their voices to the boys at Bad Communication as they talk about the 70% of Japanese workers who don’t want to work abroad, Japan being a damn good place to live beside the negative press and Emperor Akihito’s 77th birthday! Happy Birthday and Happy New Year’s!
Nom! Nom! Nom! The bite size version of Bad Communication is now served!
We put a lot of time and effort into producing the Bad Communication Podcast each week and we genuinely enjoy putting out each episode and the interactions we're able to have with our viewers. If you'd like to keep watching the show for free, please, continue to do so! We'll keep going so long as the body and mind are willing. If you'd like to support the show, we'd really appreciate that too! We'll let you decide what it's worth to you!
