Akira Kurosawa predicted the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster in Japan
Exactly one year and 1 month after the Earthquake-Tsunami-Nuclear reactor meltdown disaster I happened across this clip from my all-time favorite film, Akira Kurosawa's Dreams reminding me that Akira Kurosawa predicted the dangers of Japan's increasing reliance on nuclear energy. I'm also happy to learn that 52 out of 54 nuclear reactors are now in cold shutdown as a precaution, and may even be de-commissioned if the Citizens' Nuclear Information Center of Japan has their way.
Ganbatte (good luck to them)!

World's Steepest Roller Coaster
This Saturday, July 16th (2011) Fuji-Q Highland theme park in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, Japan will officially open the world's steepest roller-coaster, called the "Takashiba". Never to be outdone, the announcement for the new roller-coaster came within a few years of their pride and joy Fujiyama roller-coaster being unseated by several other coasters, the latest being the record-holding Kingda Ka in Jackson, New Jersey USA as the world's tallest, fastest and farthest dropping roller-coaster.

The Cove (on IMDB) The Cove (on wikipedia)
In a sleepy lagoon off the coast of Japan lies a shocking secret that a few desperate men will stop at nothing to keep hidden from the world. In Taiji, Japan, former dolphin trainer Ric O'Barry has come to set things right after a long search for redemption. In the 1960s, it was O'Barry who captured and trained the 5 dolphins who played the title character in the international television sensation "Flipper." One fateful day, a heartbroken Barry came to realize that these deeply sensitive, highly intelligent and self-aware creatures must never be subjected to human captivity again. This mission has brought him to Taiji, a town that appears to be devoted to the wonders and mysteries of the sleek, playful dolphins and whales that swim off their coast. But in a remote, glistening cove, surrounded by barbed wire and "Keep Out" signs, lies a dark reality. It is here, under cover of night, that the fishermen of Taiji, driven by a multi-billion dollar dolphin entertainment industry and an underhanded market for mercury-tainted dolphin meat, engage in an unseen hunt. The nature of what they do is so chilling and the consequences are so dangerous to human health that they will go to great lengths to halt anyone from seeing it.
