Gosh, I don't blog much here anymore do I.Well, I made a new song this morning. It's ok. It was a fun way to pass a few hours.Not too original though.But it's always fun to play with those nobs and wheels!As usual, it's loaded into the player on the right, or lazy people can click the link to listen/download/whatever.Break the Blinds.mp3

Oh dear! I seem to have gone a month without blogging.These days, the stress of internet life is too much. Myspace, Facebook, Mixi, Youtube, blog.... why are we doing all this?! How long can it last?For a month I guess this blog has been playing second fiddle to others, despite it being the most "me" of them all. Looking at my Myspace page tells you nothing - except that perhaps I am slightly

Nyago is back!!This week I made the brave decision to spend money that I don't have (thankyou plastic man) to get something that I used to have, but then I didn't, but now I do again!Yes, my KORG K49 was delivered yesterday, and I got some time to use it today.Now, if something with a name like KOOOOOOOOOOOORG doesn't inspire you to make great music, then what the blazes will?!I repeat:

I don't have anything major to add from recently. So let's just look at some photos together.Are you comfortable?I live in a country where dry-cleaners give you profound messages.But proof-reading goes out of the window when it comes to multi-million dollar acting productions.A country where I couln't get on the train at 01:04am because there literally was no space left.It's no wonder people keep

Well, that took more than one day didn't it. Sorry. It really is hard to blog these days, but I want to get it down before my mind hazes over.I want to start by talking a little bit about the new apartment.It’s located in Kichijoji, a town about 15 minutes west of Shinjuku on the Chuo-line express train. You can take the Inokashira-line to Shibuya in 15 minutes too.Sometime I’ll walk around

It's funny how hard it is to blog when a) you have a full time job and b) you don't have Internet at home.In the end, I have decided to satiate the quenchless thirst of my two's of fans who have demanded a recommencement of my blog.Without any further excuses then. Let's proceed.So, I have been working at my new job now for two months. The job that saved it all, and sparked a series of chaotic

I just wanted to report that yeh, I'm still around, still doing my thing. I'm telling ya, having a job sure does hit your blogging time... plus of course, there aren't as many things to blog about.Surprisingly, there are a lot of things going on at the moment. Will I blog about them? Probably not. Not all topics are appropriate for the internet.But fear thee not! I will be back soon with fun

It's strange how major life events like starting a career can really hit your blogging output. I realise that March has been a skinny month. I've had plenty of things to talk about. They're piling up, but fading in clarity, much as they did in my FFXII obsession era (I haven't touched since, and may never again. Everyone has limits).I don't really want to go into any great depths job-wise just

As you have no doubt noticed, a lot of my acting work consists of cheesy dramatic reconstructions. There is big demand for them on Japanese TV, so there is consequently constant demand for actors.In the acting industry here, the process goes as follows;The agency calls you with a possible job. If you are available on those days, you give them "First Keep". If you might be available (i.e. you

I've come down with a heavy phlegm-cold that I used to get once a year, but which now strikes me about 4 times each winter since moving to Tokyo. It's a consequence of 20 million people converging on a limited number of trains day in, day out.

In my third post of the day, I want to talk about the first piece of DS software that I've enjoyed in a few months.I pretty much stopped studying Japanese after I took the JLPT Level 2 exam in December 2005. It was such an effort that after 4 years of studying, I just needed a break.It's surprising how much your standards can slip in 14 months.I've been looking for a while now for some good

I've always been quite proud of my teeth - especially the fact that I don't have any fillings.Well, I've now discovered that the easiest way to avoid having fillings is not to brush diligently and avoid sugars, but simply to avoid going to the dentist at all. By not going you can delude yourself into thinking that your teeth are just tickedy-boo. It's a cheap but ultimately self-destructive

I even wore a hard-hat.Wearing a thick coat of make-up isn't much fun, I can tell you.What made it worse was that they asked us to come in at 1pm, and we didn't start filming until 10pm!

Whilst we're on the twin subjects of bad-hair and Japan, I guess I should mention my current job that I'll be undertaking in a few hours. It's a TV commercial for Gatsby, a Japanese male beauty product manufacturer.I'll be working with mega-famous Japanese talent and SMAP member Takuya Kimura (Kimutaku).I won't ruin the contents of the ad, but for those of you who are curious, here is the

This is where your lost pachinko money gets investedThe Yakuza. Seems like there have been some rival shootings of late, and people are worried that it will escalate into an all out turf-war.I say bring it on. The Yakuza disgust me, and the sooner they wipe each other out the better.It really rubs me up the way that the 'kuza get portrayed as 'cool' in the media - TV, film, games, manga etc.

Good enough that I watched all of series 1 (5 DVD's) in one weekend.As a teenager, I watched StarTrek - The Next Generation almost every day after school.

Oh dear. TV has come a long way in 30 years I guess.Watching them now, the Star Wars movies are a little cheesy at times, but overall, I'd say they still do a good job of suspending belief.This 2-hour special from 1978 did a great job of almost destroying a dynamite brand. It's about Chewbacca trying to get home for "Life Day". And it's just shocking.The best part is at around 4:20 - make sure

I've been gradually stocking up my TV performances on the HDD recorder for awhile now, and with no more appearances scheduled for the near future, I thought it high time for this compilation.I've been on Beat Takeshi's Unbelievable 4 times now... I must say, it is fun. I always laugh when I see myself on it. The ridiculousness of it all still isn't lost on me.My acting career has been on a brief

I'm quite chuffed with the little flash player that I've put up - it took quite a bit of work, but I'm looking forward to getting some good stuff on there. There are musicians in Japan too, you know. I haven't bought a non-Japanese CD now for aaaaaages. I'm not being snobbish - I'm just losing touch. For western music, Jonny is my ears.I'll try and keep it varied.You can post your opinions,

I was listening to 'Yr Atal Genhedlaeth' today for the first time in yonks. Yeh, it's still pretty good. Forget Stereophonics, MSP - SFA and Gorky's are, for me, the only succesful Welsh bands who both sound good and undeniably Welsh. Not just in accent; but in the very roots of their music. You listen to Gruff Rhys, and you get the feeling that he has been to Llangranog.That's right - Japanese

I just got back from an audition for a motion-capture part in a video game. I can't give too much away of course, but I can say that it's for an RPG by one of the major Japanese software companies.I was very impressed by the professionalism - the staff and studio were much more organised than anything I've seen so far in TV, commercials and films.This is what motion capture work looks like -not

There are lots of things that I have intended to write about, but have now faded from memory.It's just that, whenever I've had any free time, whenever Rumi isn't around, I play Final Fantasy XII.This is the first Final Fantasy game that I've played in six years - since FFVI.

Well, it's all over - to be honest, the 6 days went by pretty quickly, without a hitch.It's not hard to see why I might have been intimidated at first, if you just have a look at the textbook:Not exactly inspiring stuff... interestingly, the foreign guy in the photo is Jack, an acting friend of mine. Another colleague, Shelley, is also in the book. She was my wife in the 'ALS' disease drama that

Quite a lot of things tend to happen lately. Things that excite, things that bore, and things that defy themselves.Recently, the tax college has started to go well. I'm finding a rhythm, the students are used to the class, and we're all getting along. The course finishes in two days, and we're going out for a party tomorrow night.You would assume that teaching tax English to tax officers would

I guess that this week should have been a big week.I acted in my first ever movie.It's called 'Nippon no Aozora' (Blue skies over Japan), and is basically about the McArthur treaty - the post WWII negotiations between Japan and America over future military capabilities.I was just an extra. But a good extra, you know. Not just walking in the background - I have a 10 second scene which features me

Things recently got interesting concerning the PS3 video that I posted on Youtube yesterday.I spent a good 6 hours transferring the video file, encoding, translating and subtitling it. My general goal was to get it done and get it out there.I managed to get the video linked in at Kotaku.com - one of the internet's biggest gaming news blogs. You can see the article here. It's a site that I've

Finally, I got a video-game related TV job last weekend. I was scheduled to appear on 'Bankisha' (shortened form of 'Bangumi Kissha', or 'Reporter TV program') to talk about the availability of Japanese Playstation 3s in the UK. The program tries to make itself out as some kind of rogue journalism, getting to the heart of burning issues.There were four of us foreigners in the program's segment,

It's been stressing me out like hell the past few days... but, things have started to come together, and the blog is a hideous beast no more!I've simplified the design, tidied things up, and added a handy media player so that you can listen to Nyago music whilst you read :-)I hope all this effort is appreciated by my massive readership!!Nyago

Still don't believe me?I recently paid money to have some professional photos taken for my portfolio. I figured that the reason I got turned down for a lot of jobs was due to the amateur nature of my present portfolio photos. When a company is paying like 2k for a model, they'd like to think that said model is at least professional I guess.Anyways, look and judge for yourself.

This week, I got paid quite a bit more than I was expecting by a couple of my agencies, just two days before the release of the Nintendo Wii... a sign? Of course it is! I came to Japan to experience things like this, so why not :-PAnyways. Started off pretty well, got to Yodobashi Akihabara at 7:30pm, and saw a sign that says that the queue starts at 8pm. There weren't too many people around,

Sorry, I couldn't resist the Wii gag... I'm sure that I'm not the only one...Well, anyhows, me and the Rumster went down to the National Exposition centre in Chiba last weekend for Nintendo's 'Experience Wii' weekend. And, I must say, we had lots of fun. Lots.It was good to see that, compared to the Tokyo Game Show, it was well lit, and the crowd was much more diverse (less geeks, more families).

I certainly haven't had much luck lately when it comes to recording my acting jobs.Last month I did a promotion Video for media manufacturer Imation, almost exclusively using me. I'm trying to get a DVD copy of the ad, but my agency is notoriously fickle about these things, so I doubt that it will materialise.The ad was only shown for three days on a big screen outside Shinbashi station in

Well, I was on TV twice in the past week, but I'm afraid that I missed them both...In this work, you ask your agents to tell you when the shows are going to be on TV, but of course they never do. Why would they? For me, it's like a tangible part of my life failed to tangibilise... maybe they'll be on repeats in the future. Maybe not.I was particularly looking forward to one of them, where I give

That's right heathens, I know the secrets of the heavens and you don't! All thanks to Anime.The other day, I got an email from some random guy through CrissCross Friends - a MySpace styled community website here in Japan. He was giving away free tickets for this Anime in Shibuya, and I thought well, why not, it's free, it's Anime... what could go wrong?The film is actually a vehicle for the

Was the result a fix? Maybe not, but it was certainly setup to be this way (maybe that's what a fix is anyway!)Regardless, please watch this exert of Japanese prime-time comedy, and ask yourself - what if this is as good as it gets?I spent hours laboriously sub-titling this one, any comments welcome! The least I deserve is one minute of your time for some scathing criticism!

Another main role here, playing an ALS victim - turns fit young people into Steven Hawking in less than 5 years!If you want to see more about this, try and find the Documentary 'So much, so fast', it's quite moving. You can see more real footage - in English - about this guy in it.This one is about 25 mins long; I've cut it up into 3 parts.Trivia - the guy below in the white shirt is the guy in

My first main acting role, see if you can tell whodunnit! It's all dubbed in Japanese of course - them's the beans.This is more than twenty minutes long, so make sure that you see all 4 parts!

Wow, hooray, finally, everything is coming together. Looking more hideous, but that's good. Who needs a degree in design after all, when you can cobble things together so easily - in minutes!!Feel free to use the big Youtube panel on the right to gain access to videos of that weird bloke on Japanese TV. I'll also be blogging new videos into the main panel here.Let's kick things off with that old

Well, only two or three people have known about my music-making exploits of the last six months, but now the whole world can share in this heavenly knowledge!! I've stuck them on an external Yahoo site, so you can get to them any-damn-time you want, by clicking the 'Nyago music' link on the right hand pane.At the moment, I'm churning out about 1 song per month - quite crap really, I know.

OK, so I realise that I haven't blogged anything in 5 months. Well, the website was a bit hideous if we're all a wee bit honest. Yeh, it's still hideous, but at least I have some stuff to put on it.For now, getting stuff up has priority - until the future, please excuse the cutnpaste appearance!
