Crazy code and wacky widgets for Japan’s blogging generation.

The CScout Japan team have just started a weekly series of their favorite “Blog Parts” (ブログパーツ), the name given to all of the strange and wonderful widgets made for the blog-hungry Japanese public (See the Uniqlo Uniqlock).

The iTunes Weekly Chart blog part highlights the top tracks of the week in iTunes Japan.

Even though the cherry blossoms are already beginning to fall off here in Tokyo, they’re peaking elsewhere in Japan despite the recent chilly weather. Sakura Clock shows you the time, but don’t touch the cherry blossoms or they’ll fall off…over and over again.

Remember Yume Neko, the robotic cat? Now the Dream Cat has its own blog part to go along with the DS game from Sega.
