Dai-Cast Banner

This week on Dai-Cast, Jason wants to get into the tampon business, beer drinking is finally safe for blind people, Obama thanks Obama (the town), and Maglev trains are coming for Tokyo and Osaka… eventually.  Plus, Richard Gere is back re-making Japanese movies, this time about Hachiko, the Shibuya brass dog.  And cupcakes.  So sit back with a coffee, and a big box of the tasty treats, and enjoy!

This week on Dai-Cast, it’s a surprise!  But seriously (Are we ever?) we discuss the recent trend of Butler Cafes catering to young women in Shibuya, new Korean space kimchi, Toshiba robot phones, an HD-DVD exchange program, and the greatest thing Japan will ever produce: Smoke on the Water.  All this, along with our usual derailments and ratholes for your listening “pleasure”.
