Japan Loot 2008

Japan loot 2008

Wish I could have bought more xD

Any otaku that goes to Japan needs to head over to Akihabara (if you’re in the Tokyo area that is :P) and that is exactly what me and my brother did when we visited Tokyo. The streets were crawling with otaku, more male than female :P. Stores rising to the sky with floors of otaku goods that range from trading cards to ero pc games :P. I visited all of them ^^, for research purposes only :P. Some building were dedicated entirely to arcade games/photo booths/UFO Crane Catchers. It’s a place every otaku should visit once in their life, maybe twice if you want to score some limited edition stuff :P.

BEST COFFEE TABLE EVER xD

I so want that coffee table lol. Not only can you put your drinks on it but you can store stuff in it and best of all it’s a gigantic NES controller that works lol. The guy who made it has got to be one of the biggest gaming fans ever ^^, to put your love into the form of a gigantic working controller is sweet. You can find the blog of the man who made this awesome device here. There are other posts at the end of the link that show how he made the controller from scratch. Now only if he would make a giant ps2 controller then I might be interested in making one lol, with rumble of course ;p. A gigantic wii controller and nunchuck might be a bit much ^^;;;.

Lolita Fashion Show

KK Lolita fashion show 2008

We had something different this year at the convention, a Lolita Fashion Show if you couldn’t tell xD. I thought it went really well and it was great in my opinion. The girls were cute and so were their outfits. I personally don’t know much about lolita even though I really like the dresses:P, so I was a big surprise to me to learn about all the different styles of lolita. Hopefully they come back next year, I really enjoyed it ^^. Read on for a picture intensive post and something nice at the end ^^;.

Loot from Japan…

P3280896

That I bought in San Francisco lol ;p. I was in San Francisco for the past few days which is why there haven’t been any recent posts ^^. But what I bought while I was in San Francisco was imported from Japan so it could be considered something I bought from Japan ^^. I know I would buy the same thing if I was in Japan, just check out my loot from my actual trip to Japan last year. It was pretty cool visiting the sights, but the best part would have to be all the anime stuff that I bought lol. I numbered the items I bought in the picture above so that I could refer to it and show you what was inside the magazines or what it came with. Read on for a picture intensive look at my loot ;p.

World’s largest melon pan has been made

shana

Shana’s dream come true ^^

Finally lol. The melon-pan in Japan was one of the most oishii (delicious) foods that I had eaten. The world’s largest melon pan was made in a bakery in Hokkaido and was made to 11 times the normal size of a regular melon pan (which is pretty big to begin with). The melon pan weights 1 kilogram and is 30 cm wide; the delicious pan can be purchased for 1,500 yen. If you wish, the bakery can make it into a birthday pan (bread) by writing a birthday message on the melon pan with chocolate.
