We finally caved in. After watching hours of TV reviews and visiting multiple electronics shops across different areas of Tokyo, we settled on one TV and bought the LG OLED C4 48-inch. Our previous TV, a Sony Bravia LCD 43-inch, was purchased in 2018 when we moved to our old place in Yotsuya. It was…

Watching Pacquiao vs Bradley Match In Japan
On April 10th 11 AM Japan time (10 AM Philippine time). Pacquiao will fight his final match as a professional boxer. His opponent would be a familiar face, Timothy Bradley, with whom he has a 1 win 1 loss record. The question in the mind of most Filipinos in Tokyo would be where to watch…
Hypnosis, Beliefs, and Japanese Comedy
Just the other day over lunch, we had a quick random discussion which ended up with us talking about placebo effect, and the power of the human mind. Under hypnosis, they were asked to do things they wouldn’t normally do, or would be very afraid to do, like ride a roller coaster, or eat a…
Classic MTV
You know you’re getting old when… you watch “Classic MTV” and you know all the songs. Nirvana, Aerosmith, TLC, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Seal, Weezer, The Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, Hootie & the Blowfish, Alanis Morisette, Fugees, No Doubt, Spice Girls, Will Smith, etc. The artists that defined my generation, are now on Classic MTV.
Roland Garros Live
Don’t have Wowow channel to watch the French Open? Try this. This is what I’m using to watch the men’s semifinals and hopefully the finals as well.
My TV Debut
I’ve always wanted to be on TV. But not like this! Hehe.
Gaora and the WTA
Gaora seems to be showing more women’s tennis than men’s tennis. I get the feeling they have a special deal with the WTA and not with the ATP. Not that I’m complaining especially when they’re showing Sharapova or Ivanovic but once in a while, I would also like to watch the greatest player the world…
Feel It – BNP Paribas Masters
Another one of those Feel it ads. If the last one was “Feel the Ferocity”, this one is “Feel the Intensity”, “Feel the Power” and “Feel the Passion”. It was used last year at the BNP Paribas Masters in Paris.
Feel It
This is the new ATP ad as part of it’s FEEL IT campaign. So cool!
Gaora is for Tennis
For tennis enthusiasts in Japan, Gaora is the channel for you! As I write this entry, they are playing a rerun of the Sampras-Federer Macau Exhibition 2007. This was the third of a series of exhibition games in Asia and too bad I already know the outcome — Sampras will win this one. Here is…
Tenipuri OVA 18 and 19
Just found somebody sharing Prince of Tennis (Tenipuri) OVA 18 and 19 on the internet. It’s on YouTube from this channel. Here’s a sample. Here’s the part where Ryoma battles it with Kintaro, Ryoma’s Kansai equivalent. Amazing point! It’s in Japanese without subtitles though. But for us tennis fans, it doesn’t matter.
Sopcast for Mac
Damn Sopcast. They don’t have a Mac version! I cannot watch the Australian Open Live! Damn Sopcast! Damn my Mac! With much hesitation, I am taking my old Vaio out of the box just to watch Sopcast. Just kidding… I still love my Mac. Hehe.
