Livetune - Wikipedia
Livetune is a Japanese music group which formed in 2007 as a dōjin music group signed to Toy's Factory. The band originally consisted of two members, Kz and Kajuki P, but Kajuki P left the group in March 2009. Livetune started out by making use of the Hatsune Miku singing synthesizer to produce vocals for songs submitted to the Nico Nico Douga video sharing website. The popularity of the songs led the group to release the independent album Re:package at Comiket 73 in December 2007. Livetune made its major debut with Victor Entertainment with the professional release of their Re:package album in August 2008, which was updated with more songs. A remix album followed in March 2009 titled Re:Mikus, containing remixed songs from Re:package. Livetune released its first single "Kotchi Muite Baby / Yellow" in July 2010 as a split single with fellow dōjin musician Ryo of Supercell. Kz composed the song "Irony" sung by ClariS, which was used as the opening theme song to the anime series Ore no Imōto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai.

How To Eat Ramen



This is a scene from a Japanese movie, "Tampopo." A young guy is being taught "how to eat ramen" by a ramen master. Obviously, it's a joke, but it's really fascinating.

Tampopo - Wikipedia
Tampopo (タンポポ Tanpopo, literally "dandelion") is a 1985 Japanese comedy film by director Juzo Itami, starring Tsutomu Yamazaki, Nobuko Miyamoto and Ken Watanabe. The publicity for the film calls it the first ramen western, a play on the term Spaghetti Western (films about the American Old West made by Italian production studios).
