Today on TokyoMango, I wrote about real live Pokemon that sold for nearly a billion dollars on Yahoo! Auctions; a new web meme that spawned from the prime minister's exit speech; and the first professional gamer geek ever.
Also, this is my last post as a Boing Boing guest blogger. I had a lot of fun sharing wonderful things with you guys—thanks very much for reading!

guest blogging is excellent. culture, insight, randomness are excellent. thank you lone guest blogger as you ride out on the wind.
the way people in Japan talked about rainy season with its own name and how it would circumnavigate the island I always felt as though it were a living person.
Lisa Katayama is like that monsoon wind (probly a bit milder) but small powerful like her dog as we've read recently.
Thank you Lisa!
So long, and thanks for all the, er, sushi!
Or at least for the Mayan caves, Israeli soldiers, Japanese art, the Dalai Lama's brother, underwater pix, etc.
It was wonderful having you here.
Thank you, Lisa
Your blog entries have been superb!
Hurry back!
I agree, it was great reading your posts here. Thanks Lisa!
God God! Was that once a gerbil? I'm speechless.
awe shux, it was good havin ya!
im stoked guest blogging is back in action, atleast, for the time being.
igzabier said it best... a nice dose your culture, randomness, etc.
=)
I too think that a gerbil gave up it's natural state for a yahoo auction.
Domo arigato gozaimasu, Lisa-chan. I look forward to following TokyoMango in future. Keep up the wonderful.
If you look at it as a larger picture all of it looks photoshopped though, makes me wonder what buyers actually received.
Soumds like it'll all just get removed, though. (As in, this seems to have happened before, resulting in blanking of all reviews of the game on amazon.co.uk).
Hey, thanks Lisa. I'll be sure to keep checking TokyoMango. Always fun to get another perspective, to freshen up my lately somewhat staid clicking. Hooorah for guest blogging!
Thank you Lisa.
Otsukare!!!
ありがと 御座いました for bringing some extra Tokyo flavor to BB ... was hoping you become a new addition to the BB team .. you will be missed
Looks like some sort of long-eared rodent. Its horrendous that they're painting an animal up like that and given the source, no doubt lead-based paint.
Thanks Lisa ....
I for one will miss our sexy Asian blogger overlords .... but I've been introduced to TokyoMango, so I guess it all worked out in the end.
Come back soon!
I really enjoyed your contribution here. I will certainly keep up with your stories on Tokyo Mango.
And what is the deal with the live 'Pikachu'? It looks like a Photoshop job to me (mostly the eyes and red cheeks; but did the seller actually get the money?
Ok, I REALLY need to know about this 'live' Pikachu thing.
It's driving me crazy. Are they real? In assuming that is a hoax, how could people pay that much for it? If it is real, what kind of animal is it, in knowing that we don not have actual Pokeman...?
Thank you, Lisa,
Great job and wishing you the best in all of your endeavors. Art
Thanks for guest blogging Lisa!
Yeah Lisa! Some good stuff, hope to se ya again soon.
The TokyoMango site never fails to crash my firefox...
You have done a great job, Lisa. Your recent contributions have been varied, fresh, well-delivered, entertaining, and enjoyable. You will be missed. Hopefully you will make some cameos and visits in the future.
どうもありがとうございましたとご多幸をお祈り。
So sorry about the crashing! Does the same for me too :(
Typepad says they're working on it.
...Guess I'll pop in with a bit of my own ass-kissing and thank you for your guest-blogging as well. Damn fine reads in all cases from you, and I'm actually hoping you'll be back far sooner than later.
Seriously!
It was nice to be introduced to a new and interesting site, something BoingBoing excels at it seems - a huge chunk of my 'visit daily' link have come from BB posts. And now TokyoMango has joined them.
Thanks for hanging out for a few blog posts Lisa... good readins'
Ghost - like Swayze.
Lisa, can you post to BB again when your site no longer crashes Firefox? I'd really like to check it out. Thanks.
Byeeeee! So glad you came! Thanx for the linx!
Thanks for everything Lisa.
Now I will start reading Tokyo Mango for my daily dosage of news from the Hello Kitty Land.
Thanks for the all the wonderful posts Lisa. Hope you come back posting in BB soon.
