It says
Rumu Porojikuto (Room Project) in Katakana.
Not really sure WHY it's katakana, tho, since "room project" could be translated to japanese...

The keyboards
are actually the size of a lacrosse pitch, since there are so many characters in their writing system...

I was there last summer for study abroad, and I'm going back to teach English in a year.
Go to Kobe and Nara if you can - they're amazing and often overlooked.

There's a vibrator vending machine in the red light area of Tokyo (well, at least one)
*apparently*
They also do beer and sake vending machines in almost every town and soft drink machines in almost every other street.
I should get a photo of the plush toy I got from Japan the other day "Cardboard Boy and Cat Bread". No really, it's way fucked up :)
EDIT: Here you go.
