i'm currently living in malaysia and there are at least one of these hair cut stores in every major shopping complexes in the kl region. i've noticed two variants so far, the RM10 for ten-minute cut (the first one that appeared here), and another one that charges RM12 for a twelve-minute cut.

Listening to the begining of the podcast just as you get inside QBNet you can here the Super Mario Bros. theme song, which also happens to be my cell phone ring tone. The sound was so realistic I found myself digging around in my pocket to pull out my phone.

As for ideas for future podcasts, I would personally like to here the sounds of your train ride home.

This is my first time listening to any podcast, and I really enjoyed it! A friend of mine recommended your site to me when I asked what I could listen to on my new MP3 player. I'll be listening again – thanks!

This is the first podcast I listen here. Until getting haircut, it was kind of boring. Then it became so- relaxing, I think your Japanese is good enough to draw information from anyone. Conversation with women who cut your hair is somehow "higher level than most of the podcast exsists online". Hire her, lol.

Good work. Geez, now I feel I wanna go back to Japan-.

It wasn't a blow, it was a suck to clean up the clippings. You were listening in reverse.

Most, but not all public announcements are in squeaky female voices. I'll answer it in the next podcast.

Speaking of the next podcast, I've been planning all along to feature my kids on it. And since you requested it, I'm kinda psyched to do it now. I've got hours and hours and hours of recordings I did with my kids to edit.

Just listened to this episode and the "airwash" (i.e. blow dry) literally blew me away. Had to take off the headphones to make sure no one was coming at me with a hairdryer. Amazing sound quality.

Random questions:

Why are Japanese public announcements always done by women with very high voices?

Do your kids speak Japanese? Would love to hear, if so.

Best wishes, Rich. Keep it up!

Ha ha, I staked a claim on the haircut first. You do realize that I have a patent on soundseeing tours in Japan, right? If you want to implement my technology, we'll need to discuss exuberant licensing fees. You might want to bring some Vasoline to the bargaining table.

Rich you brilliant bastard! Very envy inducing soundbarber tour. Also, listened to the Kabukicho tour more carefully and thought that was great too. Definitely picking up pointers on how to soundsee.

Take it easy,

Hey there. Terrance from Kobe-Beef turned me on to this podcast. I put it in my pod-catching client this morning and voila, got my hair cut while at work!! Excellent sound quality and overall experience. Please do more binaural recordings!! Thanks!
