Random Gaijin Shot of the Day - Part 3

[Iraira]

That's the problem with Japanese women! Why they have to marry white dudes? Why can't they just marry Japanese men, then have me as their boyfriend. I just don't get it!

Y'know, you seriously need to get some game, dude.

Guitarist Gary Moore, who died earlier this year, mostly appeared on album covers or in press photos scowling at the camera. He rarely looked a happy man. Here's his usual expression:



In the mid 80s, however, Minako Honda was in London and asked Moore to write a song for her. He not only did so, he agreed to appear on the inner sleeve of the single. She seems to have uncovered a different side to the troubled troubadour:



Another from the same session:



Honda, who sadly died a few years ago, brought out strong feelings in British guitarists. Here she is with Brian May a year later:

If he's holding what I suspect it is, now wonder they both look so pleased.

a 1980' microphone ?

By the way she's holding him, I'm sure he used more than his musical talents on her.

WORDS TO LIVE BY
[SIZE="4"]Educator, writer, farmer Gregory Clark[/SIZE]

By JUDIT KAWAGUCHI

Gregory Clark, 75, is the Honorary President of Tama University and Trustee of Akita International University in Japan. A prolific writer, with a background in economics and international politics, his opinionated investigative pieces often spark intensive debates. His 1978 book "The Japanese Tribe: Origins of a Nation's Uniqueness" explored what he saw as the differences between the rationalistic, ideological societies of the West and China, and the emotional/practical Japanese. The book stirred strong feelings from both sides of the argument.

Clark's personal story reads like a brilliant novel: Born in Britain as the son of a famous economist, Colin Grant Clark, Gregory moved to Australia with his family as a boy. He entered the Australian foreign service and from 1959 was stationed in Hong Kong and later in Moscow. Fluent in Chinese and Russian (and now also Japanese and Spanish), he abruptly left the Australian foreign service in 1965 due to his strong opposition to the Vietnam War. He turned to academia, with a spell in journalism, and has been living in Japan on and off since 1969. Although education and writing are his fortes, Clark's passion is more grounded: He is also a farmer and land developer in Chiba Prefecture's Boso Peninsula, where he prefers to play with dirt rather than with politics.

Totally late to this, but a high five to anyone that can name the game and the system w/o Googling.

i cheated... but i so want to play this game just to see the map.

[gaijinpunch]

Pretty famous series. I tried to play this one, and while it's good, I couldn't get into it. Played it for about 5 hours? The map-wandering bits are nice, sprite-wise. The full FMV battles just didn't capture me. By the time the remake came out on the PSP, I was done w/ RPGs.

The second iteration of the series on the PC-Engine is apparently the cat's meow if you can play through 50-60 hours of 16-bit-ness. Wouldn't mind seeing an alternate reality where 3D gaming was never invented.
