First off, he wasn't buying a soda, it was a beer (actually happoshu, a low malt beer). Also, he was buying it in a bar, so was paying bar prices. The same can on the street would be about 150-170 Yen.

As for cigarette or alcohol vending machines, many do card. There is a card reader that checks an ID card or driving licence. Also, in some areas, alcohol or vending machines are required to be switched off overnight.

WHAT?! iPods for sale in vending machines? Now that's a huge difference between Japan and the U.S. If we had a vending machine that sold iPods, it wouldn't last. Hahaha...

[britaki]

Woah woah woah! iPod?

Yeah, IMF got bought out and turned into Ovation TV, I canceled my subscrip because IMF was the only reason I even wanted to have Dish, so I could watch J-Rock videos. I encourage other IMF fans to do the same.

Ovation purchased International Music Feed from Universal Music Group and on January 8th, 2008, replaced IMF with Ovation.

So, it's not IMF's fault, I'm sure they didn't want to get off of the air, but Ovation bought them off. GAY! I think we should try to get Universal to put it back on!

[xthexcolorxredx]

Whoa, seriously? I was about to order satellite, just so I can get IMF.
