Since we here in Japan are in the future it will already be Monday when Super Bowl XLIIIJKLMNOPQR comes around. For those football fans in Japan who will be lucky enough to be home at that time (coverage starts at 8:10 AM JST) NHK BS-1 will be the only ones airing the whole shebang live. http://www.nhk.or.jp/sports/
You can also catch the replay at 18:15 on NHK BS-1 or for those of you who don't have BS-tuners you'll have to wait until 24:29 on N-TV. In both cases, the game will be clipped so no Bruce Springsteen for you latecomers. The game will also be rebroadcast several times throughout the week on either N-TV G+ (whatever that is) or GAORA. http://www.nfljapan.com/schedule/
If you're working and are at a computer, perhaps TVAnts, TVU or Livestation will have the game somewhere. I don't know if the Livestation BBC channels will have the game (it's on BBC-1) so your best bet might be using TVAnts or TVU to find the CCTV Sports feed from China.
Another option if all you want are the scores is using your keitai to access NFL Network Mobile. However, you have to pay 315 yen per month if you want to "continuously seeing" the site. I have no idea what is and isn't pay access only. You can use the QR-Code from the site link and the mobile site is in English and Japanese. If you don't want to do that, ESPN mobile actually works fairly well on most phone browsers. http://www.nfljapan.com/mobile/index.html

Six Things February 10, 2008
1. Super Bowl XLII. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Who knew you could spell schadenfreude with an 18 and a 1? A week later and it's still the gift that keeps on giving. Bill Simmons gets all emo. Some Pats fans can't let it go. Even the Onion joins in on the fun. I'm glad I recorded the replay because I can watch that fourth quarter over and over again.
2. Gyoza-gate is still one of the top stories in the news here.
3. "JapanSoc is a social bookmarking site, devoted to news and stories about Japan."
4. There is a new English wikipedia entry for 筋肉番付 (Kinniku Banzuke -- known as Unbeatable Banzuke on G4 in the US). The person who created the page is trying to do a translation of the Japanese page. If you want to practice your Japanese this might be a nice little exercise.
5. Frozen Grand Central by Improve Everywhere.
6. Huh, Hawaii's caucuses might actually matter for once. Cue the "Barry Obama, Hometown Boy!" campaign! Of course once the primaries are over Hawaii will follow this up by having absolutely no impact on the general election.

Six Things February 3, 2008
Hey! I'm still here! Sorry I haven't been putting anything up recently. Was a bit busy last month.
Anyway, I often have blog ideas that I don't think always deserve their own post. While I'd like to drive up the number of posts I um..post, I'd rather devote time to a select number of posts, especially the ones that I can really flesh out. So here goes an experiment: Six Things. Every Sunday I will try to put up a quick list of six things on my mind that are notable but not single post-worthy. They may not always be Japan related though. Of course this experiment will probably fizzle out and die by March but whatever. On with the show!
1. Super Bowl XLII is this Sunday if you're in America. If you're in Japan the game will be broadcast Monday morning on NHK BS-1. Coverage starts at 8:10 AM. Go Giants! The Patriots losing may or may not make Bill Simmons cry. That would be enough of a reason for me even if I weren't a long-time Giants fan. The Patriots are overwhelming favorites (a 12 point spread last I read) and are going for a perfect season. I'm hoping that this game will be similar to Super Bowl XXXVI with the overwhelming offensive juggernaut taken down by the underdogs with destiny and luck on their side.
2. Koda Kumi (倖田來未) has been suspended by her label for saying something stupid. And she has a new album coming out soon which she won't be able to promote. Wow. Just goes to show how much control talent agencies and record labels have over their clients. Say something or even blog something wrong and you pay a price.
3. Today is Setsubun (節分)! Throw them beans!
4. Aso Taro is my favorite Japanese politician because frankly, he's crazy:
"I've been saying that Japanese agricultural products are expensive but taste good and are clean and safe," Aso said. "To be blunt, the agricultural cooperatives should thank China. Great value has been added (to Japanese products)."
5. The L Word hit DVD rental shelves today in Japan.
6. The first time I saw this commercial for au's Infobar I thought, "Hey, it sounds like the Futurama theme song."
Like so many other people, I later found out that the opening was inspired by Psyché Rock by Pierre Henry which is the song the au commercial uses.
