Hello, squishy-faced feline in a bow tie! We’re in Calico Cat Cafe, Shinjuku. Many Japanese are unable to own pets (not enough time or space), so they come here to play with over a dozen cats.

My Pirates company arranged a TV shoot at this and other theme cafes, for Food Network’s “World’s Weirdest Restaurants.”

First Mate Naomi had to wear a mask, since she’s allergic to kitties. This Scottish Fold reminded me of mine…

Moving on. Do you recognize these bloody mannequin heads? Yes, we’re back at Alcatraz ER, the haunted jail theme restaurant in Shibuya.

Sexy nurses put you in handcuffs and lead you to your cell, where you order cocktails with floating eyeballs.

Every so often, the lights go dark — and the monster prisoners escape! They run around, bust into your jail cell and scare you silly.

I took Andrew Zimmern here for an episode of “Bizarre Foods” Travel Channel. Above is the clip, and you can see all my TV hosting videos on my Biography page.

Who knew danger and gore could be so much fun? Only in Japan.

JAPANESE CUTE DECORATED IPHONE CASE, GLITTER KAWAII CELLPHONES. SPARKLEBEE HELLO KITTY PHONE, REBOUNDER.

There are infinite ways to add a bit of kawaii (Japanese cuteness) to your daily life. Fashion, makeup and Scottish Fold cats come to mind. But we often overlook the item we bring everywhere — our cell phone.

Let’s chat about ways to “cute-ify” your iPhone case and home phone. I’ll also talk about my new fitness obsession, which you may not have heard of: rebounding.

Luxy Loli sent me this handmade iPhone case. It’s one of the best I’ve ever encountered (and I’ve seen some serious mobile bling in Tokyo.)

The case is an eye-catching delight of sparkles, candy colors and characters — including Hello Kitty and Stitch. It’s not heavy, and the decora has stayed in place.

Luxy Loli makes custom cell phone cases , as well as hair clips and other affordable decoden. There’s more cuteness on her Etsy store.

Uh oh. Basil Farrow spots another cat in his territory.

Behold, a Hello Kitty telephone from Sparklebee. When someone calls, the pink wand and wings light up!

The Hello Kitty phone has all the functions I need: caller ID display, memory, options for ringer volume and language. I used it to call Germany, and the reception was perfectly clear.

Can you imagine Basil answering the phone? “Ah-wahhhh…”

Sparklebee’s character family includes Paul Frank and Hello Kitty. It’s my first stop for home decor items, like messenger bags and alarm clocks.

Finally, let’s talk fitness. I never talk about it on my blog, but I’m a workout addict. Especially cardio that doesn’t hurt the joints.

That’s why I’m obsessed with my mini trampoline from Sundance Rebounders. NASA says it’s the most effective full-body workout out there, and the only one that gets the lymph fluid circulating.

Sundance gave me a 42-inch super soft, which is compact enough to store at home. You can bounce gently, for a sense of well-being, or do a variety of jumps for intensity. Rebounding is easy on the joints, and develops balance while targeting different muscles (which is why it’s eclipsed the elliptical as my favorite). If you haven’t heard of rebounders, I highly suggest you look into them, and go with a quality brand like Sundance.

Don’t forget to stretch, as Basil Farrow demonstrates!

His cardio workout consists of running through this tunnel, which my architect dad built.

Don’t forget to get a good night’s rest. Basil and I can sleep 12 hours, easily.

You can see more Scottish Fold cuteness on Basil’s Facebook and Tumblr. I also Tweet photos of him daiky on Twitter.
