Your question: "no doubt its delicious but is it affordable?"
Yes, very affordable! In fact, maybe the best, most affordable in Tokyo! Just ¥10,000 for the amazing course shown in this video.

Posted in: Premium Friday campaign to encourage workers to leave early See in context
Not a bad idea to stimulate business for merchants, but this is a case where the government is putting pressure solely on office workers to use their free time to go out, spend money and buy things from merchants who are the only beneficiaries in this half-baked scheme. May I suggest that to further stimulate this "Premium Friday" plan, the government also create a last-Friday-of-the-month TAX FREE time zone and a mandatory 30% discount on all goods by all "participating" merchants on Friday's from 3-7pm. With a more thorough plan like this, it's win-win for everyone; customers, merchants and the government.

The authorities have noticed there's an ever-growing social problem with phone use and so, have posted these signs.
Nice start, however as gogogo stated; "The irony is that people using their mobile devices while walking wont see this sign." Very true.
So, perhaps it might be a good idea to reinforce these signs with loudspeaker announcements on train platforms and a nationwide public service message campaign via mass media.

Posted in: Japan awash in weird warning signs See in context
Funny stuff in here :-) I once went to a kung fu movie that displayed a warning on the screen at the beginning of the movie saying (translated from Chinese to English) "CAUTION: This movie contains unnecessary special effects." To this day I'm still wondering why the unnecessary warning, and if the special effects were unnecessary, why weren't they edited out? I'm trying to imagine how the director directed this movie...

TrevorPeace1FEB. 20, 2014 - 11:03AM JST I'd prefer to see the transcript on JT, not a video I don't want to listen to. I can read faster than I can watch and listen.
Dude, we'll be talking about your comment in one of our next podcasts.

Posted in: Many passengers buy ekiben and drinks together before they board the shinkansen. Also, it’s troublesome for them to walk to vending machines when drinks are being sold on carts. See in context
I wonder what they'll put in the spaces the vending machines were occupying? Any suggestions?

To "thesedreams" > "Is there any way to access previous shows?"
Answer: Yes...just look over to the right side of this page, under the CAPITAL TAX ad. There's a list, brief description and a link to previous shows there.
