This is one of my favorite burgers in Tokyo. It is not shown online, but they have added a spicy version of their avocado burger, which is pretty good.

First Kitchen is conducting an Enjoy! Asian Resorts campaign in collaboration with ANA. Entry is limited to members of First Kitchen's online club and appears to require a cell phone. The top prizes are ANA vouchers for trips to Asian resorts (I assume the winner gets to chose). Other prizes are various Asian goods.

Like all convenience store chains, Circle K Sunkus has an ATM looking machine in each store which sell a variety of items such as concert, movie, amusement park and sports tickets, as well as test registration (and there are many, many standardized qualification tests offered in Japan). Now they are offering long distance bus tickets also. Long distance buses are becoming very popular because many are overnight buses so not only do you save a lot of money on the transportation, you save on hotel costs also.

If you go to the site below you will see something you don't see everyday - dancing fish sausages (The Fishman Brothers フィシュマン兄弟). Marudai sells fish sausage, which are not to be confused with kamaboko. Kamaboko are also processed fish, but are considered traditional Japanese food and even a delicacy. Fish sausage are pretty much what they sound like - processed fish make to look and taste somewhat like pork sausage. This is made easier by the fact that Japanese sausage is generally less spicy and greasy than Western sausage.
In any case the dancing sausages are a treat, as is their recommendation for a personalized bento for the kids featuring the Fishman Brothers. Note especially the Elvis-type hairdo made from nori seaweed.
