Discussion on Japan Episode

[anttipesonen]

Put on your best zentai and start conversing about the land where weirdness never ends and there's abundant and ageless beauty in everything.

I'm curious about the soundtrack for this episode (actually for all of them so far).

Can someone show me a list of who is featured and where I can possibly obtain the music?

Also, where are some credible places in Tokyo where you can be a human sushi plate? Which place did Riku visit for the episode?

[Donny]

Well, there's rumours about Madventures I and Madventures II mixtapes coming out in the Finnish forums.
They might throw in the Madventures III mixtape while they are at it. So far the beats have been from Finnish indie artists at http://www.mikseri.fi. I guess one could find them, it's just that there are millions of songs in there.

I guess Mr Richardo would be best to answer the 2nd question as I don't know jack about that.

I'm DYING to know if there is a way to purchase my own personal Asahi beer robot! GREATEST INVENTION, EVER!

[Maki-san]

Yes you can buy those in theory from various gadget stores from the internet, but the robots have been sold out everywhere for a bit over a year now. I know because i've been trying to get one too...

xAdamx, Donny, Brispence & Maki-san,
thanks for your posts!

Beer robots: Maki-san must be right - In Tokyo, we also tried to buy one (to keep our production team in Helsinki, Finland pissed and tame) but couldn't make it. Sold out! No wonder!

Human sushi: the nyotaimori is of course more common than our male (or maybe more correctly whale) version of the platter, but all of these places are underground and hard to find. We got to do it through a good contact in the local fetish scene. Most of those private clubs are very expensive and very exclusive - really difficult for a gaijin to access. If I was you, I'd start looking for a contact in the hentai scene!

Madventures music: we're currently working on Madventures soundtrack album - of this season you're watching in the States. All of the tunes are score music for Madventures, made by our main man Zarkus Poussa and a few other killer acts - so unfortunately you won't get them anywhere else... You'll be informed!

Ride & shoot straight,
- Riku, your humble host

Very interesting episode, haha. Love Japan; such an incredible balance between nature and technology. Loved the drifting intro, and the tricked out truck.

I'm addicted to Madventures now. I wanted to travel before, but now I really want to see the world.

I wanted to travel before, but now I really want to see the world.

Then we can only add: our mission accomplished!

Riku & Tunna looked pretty alive yesterday at the Madventures HQ yesterday and since we wrapped the season already, I think they are relatively safe right now. Of course, cities of the western world can sometimes be more hazardous than the deepest cannibal-infested jungles of faraway lands. So knock on wood.

riku! my boyfriend and i were wondering -- we see you heat up the filter on your cigarettes before you start smoking them, what is the reason? we are curious!

love the show lots!

Riku is not the only one who does it. I also do it and have been doing it almost everytime I smoke. I do not know the reason why Riku himself is doing it but I do it because it gives you a bit better grib and you get a better "smoke" from the fag.

So, all in all nothing special. Just a habit.

[anttipesonen]

The "fag burn" and other mysteries revealed in the blog this Friday...

[maddy]

thanks, tomi. i figured it wasn't a riku-only habit, but that is just the first time that i have seen it done. interesting!

Hey there,
Do you have the name of the fetish hotel in Japan? I'm visiting...looking for some crazyness...I don't suppose it's on TripAdvisor

Thanks

Ryokan in Tokyo ???? I am heading to the Onbashira Festival in Japan in April, where they ride the huge logs down the mountain. I will be in Tokyo for a few days around my time in Nagano and was wondering if you could supply the details of the Ryokan you stayed in Tokyo, the one with the beer robot..... many thanks Levi.
