Yakitate Japan

An anime television show all about characters who bake bread for a living, and the quest of one Azuma Kazuma to create a bread that represents Japan to the world. (Like French bread does for France.) Watching it makes you hungry and can be known to cause a 'Yakitate Freakout'.
Yakitate Japan is all about bread! Yeah, I know, it sounds like a retarded concept for a show, but it really is good!

Japanglish

Japanese Hip-Hop

Where hip-hop enthusiasts who don't mind some more extravagance will go for the good shit. Not necessarily limited to Japanese lyrics(in fact, quite a bit of J-Rap artists out there will feature English-speaking lyricists in their songs if not a remix), Japanese hip-hop is more focused on pleasant, jazzy, and exotic beats, usually involving the piano or other instruments.

It is very different from US hip-hop(even from a lot of underground artists), but there's a certain beauty to it that may make it almost as(if not, even more) appealing than the typical underground artist. It's obviously an acquired taste, so it may not appeal to everyone.

If you want to get into Japanese hip-hop, start with the likes of Nujabes. From there, you can branch into artists like Nomak, Shing02, Shin-Ski, Martiangang, DJ Mitsu the Beats, etc.
Person A: Hey, what are you listening to?
Person B: Nujabes - High 2 Lows ft. Cise Starr. Dope track.
Person A: Whoa...this sounds way different than what I normally listen to. I don't see much hip-hop out there with a piano flow like this! I'm feeling this!
Person B: You just got a taste of Japanese hip-hop.

Japhia

Graceful, charming. Good wife and mother. Altruistic. Looks a lot like Audrey Hepburn.
Japhia would stop to help someone in need, but bash their face in if they were hurting someone else.

JAPA

The word Japa emanates from the deepest part of the remnants of the great Oduduwa tribe popularly known as Yoruba. It is coined from two popular words, JA meaning to run and PA meaning to give emphasis and importance to Yoruba words.

Popularly used to depict the manner and nature in which an individual elopes from difficult environment or nations such as Nigeria. But also finds usage in escaping or disappearing swiftly from a dangerous situation.

The word Japa has become a popular slang among the habitants of Nigeria and other parts of the world where you find these homo sapiens called Nigerians and many businesses and trademarks have been born out of it most notably study2japa.com.

It is evident that this is a slang that has come to stay and one that everyone hopes to use on day in this way. "I have finally JAPA from the clutches of Nigeria"
You hear say Temiloluwa don JAPA ?
