he's everywhere

On our way to Tsutaya, a great bookstore in Roppongi Hills, the wind kicked up and nearly blew us away so we ducked into the lobby of TV Asahi Corp. headquarters, a shrine to the station's shows. Here's D posing with our favorite manga hero/gadget cat from the future, Doraemon. He's got his own cartoon, but we don't get to watch it because we don't have TV. I mean, we have a television set, but we only use it to play games or DVDs on the Xbox 360. I want to get the Wii too so we can get the Wii Fit, which comes with a balance board and has you doing step aerobics, pushups, yoga poses, hula hooping, tightrope walking, ski jumping and heading soccer balls -- you know, all those things that help you stay fit. Wikipedia's page on the matter says the Wii Fit will be released in the U.S. in late May. It started selling in Japan on Dec. 1, 2007, and sales topped 1 million in less than six weeks.
