Nobita is out at a dinosaur exhibit and after being ridiculed for failing to find fossils, he proclaims he will find real live dinosaurs to show to Jaian and Suneo. As he rushes away from the exhibit, he trips over an egg-shaped rock and had a feeling it could be a dinosaur egg. Returning home, he begs Doraemon to lend him his time control...

Every player's actions affected the virtual world. Reiji Mukudori had been anticipating the game for some time and right after signing up as RayStarlinghe...
An explorer sent to the moon by Japan briefly captures footage of a pair of white long moving organisms before losing contact. When this makes the headlines, Nobita's classmates debate what it could be - maybe it's aliens or just a faulty lens. Nobita on the other hand, thinks it's what adults have always been telling them, rabbits on...
I was inspired to do this post after realising how many locations I recognised from shows and games I've played after visiting Japan. You will probably too once you've been since so many fictional works are based on real life locations and the great thing is you won't have to go out of your way to find these places. The photos you find here...
As Nobita hears a pirate story, he dreams of going hunting for treasure himself and using Doraemon's gadgets he surprisingly discovers some undiscovered treasure. The treasure was located on a newly formed island of rock outside of Japan but as they make their way there, they are attacked by a group of time travelling pirates and...
It was our last day in Japan before we fly back to Scotland tomorrow. So, being a big fan of Makoto Shinkai's 5 Centimetres per Second (5cm) I just had to visit some of the locations that were located around Tokyo. Note: The location hunting wasn't done in order and this wasn't a full day dedicated to 5cm location hunting. You will see the...
It was back to Tokyo today. Finally goodbye to those "sauna" hotel rooms in Nagoya! However, check-in time wasn't until 3pm so we decided it would be best if we just left our luggage in lockers instead of travelling back and forth just to leave our luggage with the hotel. There weren't many days left before we return to the UK so my friend...
Well, after a day's break of wandering around shops, it was back to touring the land of the rising sun. While I'm a big fan of Japanese games and Anime, I was also interested in Japan's culture thanks to all the TV programmes I grew up watching such as documentaries and travel programmes so I decided we should go visit a rural village while...
Ah yes, Ghibii Museum! This place is so busy you'll have to book 3 months in advance if you want a chance of getting in. Especially during the holiday seasons. It was either a JR train to Mitaka Station or a Keio train to Kichijoji. We chose Keio even though we had a JR Pass because it was faster by a 5 minutes or so. I read the route from Mitaka...

The Japanese DVD is out...
