Which Pokemon Song Do You Like Better?

Nerd hero and cat-butt-sniffer Shoko Nakagawa (pictured) belted out a the ending theme for the televised Pokémon. Sadly, her song has been replaced. But is the new song better? Nakagawa’s tune, “Get Fired Up Notch-Eared Pichu”, is catchy and fun. She also voices Giza Mimi Pichu (“Notch-Eared Pichu”). Watch her as she sings the song…

This Pokemon Is Somehow Strangely Familar

After hinting with a silhouette, Japanese magazine CoroCoro Comic revealed the first new Pokémon of the fifth generation, Zoroark. And yet besides that silhouette, I could shake the feeling I’d already seen this Pokémon. Maybe it was former 1970s rocker Gary Glitter? The lead singer of J-pop band Kishidan? Or this lady? Hrm….. Monster fox…

Cat Head Girl Gets Her Own Comic

That’s rude. Shoko Nakagawa is more than a nerd heroine who puts her cats’ heads in her mouth. She also sniffs their butts. Where to start? Shoko Nakagawa is a singer and Japanese celebrity, who hosts kiddy show Pokémon Sunday, among a bajillion other things. She voiced the new Pocket Monster character Giza Mimi Pichu…

Pikachu Shrieks Like The Sirens Of Hades

Japanese circuit bender Kaseo loves taking Pikachu toys and doing wonderful things with them. We’ve seen his stuff before, with the legion of singing Pokemon, but his latest work is well worth a look. Witness the Pikatron, a handheld distortion device that’s basically a guitar-looking synthesiser that uses Pikachu as a medium to channel the…

Pokemon Teaches Your Children To Worship Satan

Pokémon, plural, turn kids into devil. They are monsters. And there’s stabbing and shootings, too! Maybe it has something to do with the dark realm? Going by hairdos, this looks to be from the late 1990s or the turn of the century. Still remember that even with the passage of time certain things still hold…
