BONUS FOOTAGE FROM CUTE CHARACTER BENTO MAKING TV SHOW. FUNNY WEIRD JAPANESE TELEVISION, GAME SHOWS.
Let’s bundle up and travel back in time to NYC for a minute… Have you watched the NHK documentary about cute bentos yet? I put my segments in this post.
A bonus for you: behind the scenes footage! Shichi shot some videos of the first day’s shoot, where I showed the reporter my bento creations and demonstrated how to make cute faces out of food. You can see the video above and on my YouTube channel (thanks to everyone who subscribed).
Here are some more photos from the New York Wave TV shoot. Left: I’m cutting a mouth into the koala, who is a multigrain pancake with blueberry eyes and a blackberry nose. Right: My Yumi London dress with Vivienne Westwood leggings (see more outfit photos here.)
At the end of a long filming day, all I wanted to do was unwind with sake and homey Japanese food at Kenka. Waiting outside — sometimes for an hour — is part of the experience. On the bright side, St Mark’s Place is one of the best places in Manhattan for people watching.
Don’t come here for sushi. It’s all about izakaya fare, especially anything that ends in “-yaki.” Ah, what I’d do for a bite of the smokey, grilled mackerel…
At the end of the meal, you get a little cup of cotton candy granules to pour into the machine outside. Kanae dumped hers in the wrong spot… dropped in the cup… and then didn’t know how to swirl the stick. The resulting cotton candy was a total ai-yah.
Hope you like the footage — we have a Sugarpill makeup tutorial, an Adventure Team monster hunt and more video gaga on the way! Please subscribe and also check out my new fashion line with Akumu Ink — your support is much appreciated.
What did you think of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland? I wasn’t moved…
Song of the Day #319: Not really a song, but made of win: Pikachu and Caterpie Have A Meaningful Conversation. (The sad/amazing thing is all my convos with Basil Farrow are like this… “Wahh wahh! Ah maoo! Mmmm (whine)…”

I’ve heard too many bad reviews for ALICE IN WONDERLAND… so now I’ve lost interest, but I will still go see it on a Sunday if I’m desperate and bored.
It’s worth watching, I think, if only for the experience… I’m personally sick of all the ads for Alice! I think they overdid the promotion.
omg ur going to be on tokyo kawaii tv??? OMG MY FAV SHOW T-T

I love the cotton experience at the end. It’s something unique and fun. =D I’ve never made my own cotton candy, though I’ve eating it lots of times.
