Dubbed the “Mother of Invention” by many, the Land of the Rising Sun has forever been a hotbed of technology, arts and science; without Japan, we wouldn’t have had some of our everyday dude essentials: instant Ramen, CDs, the Sony Walkman (see: the ability to rock out to Bat Out of Hell ANY time, ANY place), digital cameras, drunk karaoke or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. But the Japanese also win the prize for being some seriously sick puppies, and not just for their used panties vending machinesand penchant for wayward tentacles.
