Nihon no Kinyoubi (Japanese Friday) is a new feature here at Brizmus Blogs Books inspired by French Friday, which is a weekly feature hosted by Charlotte at the Book on the Hill. Charlotte features French bookish things, and I plan on featuring Japanese bookish things, though I won't limit myself if I find something non-bookish that I think will interest you guys.
Perhaps you remember a little while ago, I posted about the weird love that Japanese have for 自動はん売き (vending machines). Specifically in regards to the BANANA vending machine that recently popped up in Tokyo.
Well, last time I was in Tokyo, I also saw something else totally awesome.
And it was this:
A book vending machine!
Now, I'd heard before about people that live in places with book vending machines, and to be honest, I'd always sort-of thought it was a myth.
I was thrilled to discover that the myth of the book vending machine was actually TRUE! For serious! Now, if only I the books were in English. Or rather, if only I could read Japanese.

I fully support a book vending machine haha. That is beyond awesome.
You know that sound affect you hear in movies for the pearly gates. I totally just heard that in my head. How super dooper way cool. Tell me that wouldn't do well in the NY Subway system?
Wow a book vending machine - another great source, it's just as well we don't have them here (yet) as it would be another form of temptation for me to resist.
I have now see everything!
