◆Interlink opens luxury nursing home for otaku in Akihabara
Internet service provider Interlink has opened a subscription-based luxury nursing home for otaku in Akihabara called ' ZOOT .' It is a nursing home that caters to the 100-year otaku era, not the 100-year lifespan era. Because 'poor internet environments shorten the lifespan of otaku,' Interlink's internet services such as ' ZOOT PREMIUM ' can be used unlimitedly within the facility.
In addition, cat-eared cosplayers will be on hand to watch over the guests 24 hours a day, and 'moe-moe-kyun meals' prepared by top maids will be delivered directly from a maid cafe in Akihabara every day.
Each floor has a cat shelter cafe. In addition, each room is equipped with the grass-type voice assistant '
' Tsura Turn ', a product of Kameda Seika's April Fool's lie, was released for a limited time as ' Kara Turn ' on Monday, March 31, 2025. The flavor has been further enhanced from the 'Tsura Turn' that was commercialized in 2024, so I actually tried it.
Below are the 71g and 35g packages of 'Spicy Turn'.
The raw materials are non-glutinous rice, vegetable oil, seasoning, etc. The seasoning consists of sugar, protein hydrolysate, chicken extract powder, garlic powder, salt, chili pepper, etc. The calorie content is 184 kcal per 35g bag.
I put the contents on a plate. It is a blend of eight spices and three flavors that go well with the familiar Happy Turn Happy Powder, and when you look closely, you can see that it is redder than the regular Happy Turn, making it look really spicy.
When you eat it, you can feel the aroma and flavor, and then the hot spiciness spreads in your mouth, making it feel hot. The level of spiciness may be a bit too much for people who don't like spicy food. It feels like the spiciness comes from deep within the savory flavor, making it a snack that people who like spicy food will reach for.
'Spicy Turn' will be available at convenience stores nationwide from Monday, March 31, 2025. The suggested retail price is around 120 yen for a 35g package and around 240 yen for a 71g package. It will be available for a limited time until the end of May, so if you're interested, we recommend checking it out early.
Apparently a rookie craftsman at the candy shop ' PAPABUBBLE ' accidentally mixed up the flavors, resulting in a ' lying mix ' that looks and tastes inconsistent and is now on sale.
The bag is filled with strawberry-flavored candies with orange illustrations, grape-flavored candies with apple illustrations, and more. The price for a set of two bags is 1,480 yen including tax.
And to make up for the novice craftsman's mistake, a skilled craftsman created a candy the size of a grain of rice called '
The 'Liar Mix' and 'Liar Candy' are both actually sold.
Pizza chain Domino's Pizza has announced that it will begin offering a world delivery service using its supersonic motorbike, the 'Domijet,' which will deliver hot, fresh pizzas from around the world to your home starting on Tuesday, April 1, 2025 at 12 p.m.
According to Domino's Pizza, as a pioneer of pizza delivery in Japan, the company has been trying various things to 'deliver freshly made, delicious pizza to more customers faster', and after many years of research and development, it has succeeded in developing the 'DomiJet', a supersonic delivery bike that utilizes cutting-edge technology.
The 'Domijet' is a special delivery bike that can travel at the speed of sound, with a top speed of Mach 1.5, so even from the US, delivery takes about 3 seconds. This makes it possible for Domino's Pizza, which operates in over 90 countries and markets around the world, to deliver its exclusive menu items to your home while they're still hot and fresh. Delivery is available at all Domino's Pizza stores around the world, and the items available for delivery are Domino's Pizza menu items from all over the world.
The sandwich chain 'Subway' has announced a new product, 'Oxygen Itchi,' which is the healthiest 'oxygen' sandwich in Subway history. The Oxygen Itchi will be sold at Subway stores nationwide from April 1, 2025 (Tuesday).
Oxygen Itchi harvests the oxygen and sandwiches it after receiving an order, so you can enjoy fresh oxygen. Also, the texture of the oxygen varies depending on the time of your visit and the area where the store is located, so you will never get tired of eating it. In addition, oxygen toppings on other sandwiches are also free, so you can enjoy the national food 'oxygen' that goes perfectly with various sandwiches.

The film 'Sachiko Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: The Lonely Dragon,' produced by Kyoto Animation, is scheduled to be released on Friday, June 27, 2025.
Comment from lead actress Sachiko Kobayashi
It's been a while. I, the tired veteran Kobayashi-san, am finally back.
This time, the dragon is lonely, so Kanna-chan and I get to drag the other world into a rampage. It's going to be tough.
Everyone, I'll be waiting for you at the cinema! I'll give you the best moment of your life!
Director Tatsuya Ishihara
Wow, what, what, what! This is KyoAni's first 'live-action + animation' film!
There were many things I tried for the first time. Although there was some CG for the main character, Kobayashi's performance was almost entirely live-action. I had a hard time getting him to interact with the other characters, such as Thor, and to blend naturally into the anime world, but I think the staff's hard work made it look good.
Will Kobayashi be able to save Kanna? And who will be the new final boss? Look forward to it!
Shirohato Co., Ltd., known for its innerwear brands such as Wacoal and Triumph, has released the 'Waterfall Sweat Tank Top,' which will give you rock-hard abs just by wearing it.
Chain mail is sewn onto the back, which increases the load on the back and puts more strain on the abdominal muscles.

Sunpro , an architectural firm in Nagano Prefecture, has announced that it will collaborate with Yawataya Isogoro , a company with a history of about 300 years dating back to the first year of the Genbun era, to sell a limited edition of seven ' Shichimi House Cans ' on Tuesday, April 1, 2025. Here's what the building will look like.
The variations of Shichimi Jyutaku cans are as follows:
Below is the design drawing for the Shichimi House Can. The building was printed and assembled in 3 hours using a 3D printer. Taking advantage of the shape of the can, it has outstanding insulation, airtightness, and earthquake resistance. By combining Yawataya Isogoro's 100 years of can sealing technology with Sunpro's airtight and insulation construction technology, it has cleared insulation grade 7 and earthquake resistance grade 3, and uses Sunpro's total heat exchange type 24-hour ventilation system Airflow+FAN.
In the center of the building is a spiral staircase. It creates a gentle flow so that the fragrance floats around, and halfway up the staircase is a hidden shichimi shelf. The second floor is equipped with a master bedroom and a children's room.
In addition, the kitchen is equipped with a shichimi server, and a regular delivery service is provided where 'recommended shichimi' is delivered to your home on the 7th of every month. The shichimi server was invented by Yawataya Isogoro Imokawa. Also, if you are a resident of Nagano, the recommended shichimi will be delivered in a 'car can' like the one shown below.
The price is 7.36 million yen. Sunpro commented, 'Even the numbers have a strong shichimi aroma.'
When you access Daily Portal Z, the site is displayed as a full-screen advertisement.
In fact, when you access Daily Portal Z, it looks like this. Images and movies made by Daily Portal Z are displayed full screen as ad-like content. It is obvious that the ratio is too small for the screen and it is hard to see, and the X button to close is small and hard to press in the upper right corner, so it does seem like a bit of an annoying advertisement. The creators of the images and movies displayed instead of advertisements are introduced on

The official X account of the smartphone rhythm game ' The New Prince of Tennis RisingBeat ' posted a mysterious message saying 'Do you want some meat...?' At the same time, a video of grilled meat was posted.
It's not the tennis club members who respond to this question, but the animals. Even Kuranosuke Shiraishi's rhinoceros beetle Gabriel comments, 'Well, we don't eat meat. We have fun with bananas and protein jelly.'
'Humans have strong obsessions too, so why do we want to grill meat so much?' says Oni Jujirou's hamster, Kaede.

Yuuki Foods, a retailer of seasonings and food ingredients, has developed an AI automatic cooking pot called ' Future Pot .'
Although Yuuki Foods stocks over 900 types of seasonings and foods, the company has received many complaints that 'there are so many types, I don't know what to use.'
So Yuuki Foods developed 'Fusion Powder,' a fantastic product that can recreate the flavors of 900 Yuuki Foods items using just 10 different types of powder.
Furthermore, Yuuki Foods came to the conclusion that 'if that's the case, why not just leave it all to AI?' and developed the 'Future Pot,' which uses AI to scan the user's taste buds, automatically adds seasonings, and prepares food fully automatically.
The Future Pot is equipped with a futuristic auto-addition function that uses AI to add seasonings at the perfect timing.
Here's what the actual cooking process looks like. When you open the lid of the pot, it looks like it was cooked by a professional chef in secret.

◆ 'Peplink for Cat' is a mobile VPN device that protects the security of your beloved cat.
Peplink , a hardware vendor that develops multi-line mobile routers and multi-WAN VPN routers, has developed the next-generation mobile VPN device, ' Peplink for Cat .'
In recent years, pet products have become increasingly IoT-based, and there are an increasing number of cases where cat behavior logs and location information are stored and used in the cloud.

Peplink believes that 'cats also need privacy,' so they launched a secret project called 'NyatLink' by volunteer engineers within the company and are developing products based on the concept of 'A world where all cats are securely connected.'
The result was the Peplink for Cat. Peplink for Cat is a condensed version of Peplink's communication technology, and is essentially a 'network sensor in a collar.'

She then practices swimming with the teacher. You can see Mob Masami in a rare school swimsuit.

Mahazal , a real estate agent from the demon world who appears in the romance simulation game for women, ' Obey Me! ', is selling the ' House of Lamentations, ' a dormitory exclusively for the student council.
The sale price of the House of Lamentations is 66.6 billion Grimm, and it has shared facilities such as Cerberus, a planetarium, an attic, and a library. It is also within walking distance of
Unfortunately, the sale of the House of Lamentations has since been cancelled. Mahazael explains the reason for this, saying, 'The sale of the previous property has been cancelled! It seems that Mammon wanted to pay off his debts and put it up for sale without his permission.'
RevComm , a software company that develops telephone analysis AI MiiTel Phone and online meeting analysis AI MiiTel Meetings , has released MiiTel DogPod , a pet version of the conversation analysis AI MiiTel RecPod .
'MiiTel DogPod' uses multimodal generative AI to allow users to upload footage of their dog and have it analyzed and transcribed from their body language and barks.
An actual use case would be to convert a pet dog's feelings while left at home into text, summarize it, and inform the owner in real time.
In addition, when multiple dogs communicate with each other, it is possible to separate what is said by dog, transcribe it, and organize it in the form of meeting minutes, so that owners can accurately understand their dog's feelings and thoughts.
Furthermore, by storing and accumulating the communication between dogs and their owners as a diary, it is possible to look back on memories.
While the MiiTel DogPod is currently limited to dogs, RevComm says it is working on adding support for cats and other animals, and is also researching a feature that can detect abnormal health conditions from body language and vocalizations and notify owners.
The official X account (@Project_Zircon) of PROJECT ZIRCON , a Konami-led project that aims to create games in collaboration with users, has been taken over by Izumi Izumi , the heroine of Tokimeki Idol , a social idol game also developed by Konami.
Izumi Izumi has been the official ambassador for the PROJECT ZIRCON game adaptation project for some time, but it seems that she has finally taken over the account. She has publicly stated that her dream is to 'become a top game idol and make a sequel to Gradius,' and following the recent announcement that '
◆ 'Tough Gumi Jumbo' is now available, a super large version that is 1000 times larger than the regular version
The official X account for ' Tough Gumi ,' popular for its hard texture, has announced the start of sales of 'Tough Gumi Jumbo,' a super jumbo-sized product that is 1,000 times the size of the regular product.
When comparing the 'Tough Gumi Jumbo' to regular Tough Gumi, the difference in size is immediately obvious. When held in an adult's hand, it looks like a giant rock.
The president of Asakusa Hanayashiki , Japan's oldest amusement park, took an excursion to Hirakata Park, an amusement park in Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture.
On April 1, 2025, when the employees of Hanayashiki come to work, they find the president is not there. In addition, a booklet titled 'Spring Field Guide: Hirakata Park' is left on the president's desk.
In response, a Hirakata Park representative said, 'We are honored to have the president here!' and is currently searching Hirakata Park.
However, the bookmark left by the president had the sentence '
Hirakata Park replied, 'Oh, that's right! I was looking for a place where I might see pandas.'
The series of posts was an April Fool's joke. However, due to
In response to this, Hirakata Park stated, 'We will keep space open so that you can visit in the panda car.'
In addition, a person in charge at Hanayashiki actually requested the president, 'Please go on a spring field trip to Hirakata Park!'
Bandai Namco Entertainment's smartphone game ' Gakuen Idolmaster ' has implemented live photo shoots and costume changes for Neo Asari (Asari Sensei) , the player's homeroom teacher in the Producer Department at Hatsuhoshi Academy.
I logged in and an envelope appeared on the home screen. When I swiped it, Neo Asari's resume appeared, and there was a post-it note on the envelope that read 'Live on 4/1!'
The scene then shifted to the wings of the stage, where Asari-sensei appeared dressed in an idol costume based on a cherry blossom-colored uniform.
It seemed that Asari-sensei had become my idol.
She was nervous, so I encouraged her by saying, 'I look forward to seeing you shine on stage.'
'...That's fine, I'll give you a perfect score♪,' Asari-sensei replies, showing her true homeroom teacher qualities.
The live song is 'Sakura Photograph.'
You can enjoy the image of Asari Sensei singing and dancing as an idol to your heart's content.
Asari-sensei also appears in the 'Clothes' section, where you can dress up idols in different outfits. Open the menu icon and tap 'Clothes.'
Tap 'Neo Asari' at the bottom.
You can have fun dressing up in your regular clothes and the 'Sakura Photograph' live costume.
In addition, Asari Sensei's costumes are available for purchase for a limited time at the shop. The lineup includes 'Child Smock'
'T-shirt swimsuit'
It was called 'square glasses.'
In addition, if you log in by 23:59 on April 1, 2025, you will be able to enjoy Asari-sensei's live photo shoots and costume changes even after the period ends.
It has been announced that Shotaro Ishinomori's manga ' Cyborg 009, ' which was serialized in the 1960s, and Go Nagai's manga ' Cutie Honey ,' which was serialized in the 1970s, will be collaborating and serialized as ' Cyborg 0082. '
To mark the start of the series, Masato Hayase, a manga artist affiliated with Ishimori Productions, has released images of the book's cover and other images.
Below is an illustration of the 82nd 00 number cyborg, 'Zero Zero Honey.'
Hayase said, 'Thanks to Dynamic Planning's generosity, I was able to draw Cutie Honey! I'm very grateful. Next year I'll be battling Cyborg 0086 in the oceans of space!!'
The lineup of familiar 'Peyoung Sauce Yakisoba' has been expanded to include 'Peyoung Almost Cabbage Yakisoba,' in which the amounts of cabbage and noodles are reversed.
As you can see from the picture, the cup is covered in cabbage with short, curly noodles scattered here and there, creating a strange visual, making it more like a salad than yakisoba. The fact that the noodles are in the topping pack is also a fresh idea.
The official website for Melon Books' official mascot, Melon-chan, has been launched.
The actual homepage is below. It has the feel of a personal website from the early 2000s.
