With your feedback, I grabbed the nearest electric guitar I could find, threw on the armor and headed for Shibuya together with Hector and my wife.

First up is the terrorizing of the passengers on the trains.
Checking the vid on the Xacti video camera.
Terrorizing the folks at the station. As for the tune I used - will reveal what it is together with the uploaded video which may be early next week.
Danny on the left, Hector on the right - caption this photo.
I need a haircut.
About to be hit by a bus.
At the Miyamasu-zaka entrance at Shibuya. Many of the buildings used to have their neon lights on but many of them were off for some reason.
This is the only time when school girls look at me - they run away when I take off the helmet - cause being ugly face, garlic breath or both.
Just curious but are you conscious of girls (or boys) looking at you? What do you do when an atractive girl (or boy) looks at you for more than a few seconds?
As usual I had music playing on the iPod as I pranced about - must have been really weird for the onlookers ^^;
Just be being curious again but what is your preferred portable music device?
Bumped into a few station guards and police but they didnt stop me or say anything ^^;
After prancing around its time for what Japanese call "time service" meaning to take pics with the folks crowding around.
Can I say something thats kinda ecchi?
Some of the girls who have their photo with me grab my arm and hold their chest against me body - but as the armor is hard I don't feel a thing.
So to folks who are fed up of playing with thier oppai mouse pad - go cosplay in something soft like Chewbacca.
The boys however tend not to grab my arm but some do touch my bottom...
Another session at Hachiko crossing.
Two shot with Koda Kumi.
Koda Kumi look-a-like and her sweet friends do the air guitar with me.
A few more photos before heading back.
But decide to do another song - this time its a tune from the 80's and regular readers who go through the comments will love this one ^^;
Had a great time yesterday and am pleased with the video footage - will upload towards the end of this week or early next.
A survey carried out by Dai Ichi Life revealed that 39% of Japanese primary school girls...(more)

Awwww.... If only you went and did this 1 week ago, I would had seen you and try to take a photo with you!! As for my Mp3 of choice, I currently switch between my Creative Zen Vision and iPod Shuffle, depending on whether I'm carrying a bag or not as the Zen Vision is bulky. Can't wait for the video to be up ^^.

Nice one! I love the shot of you with the q-front in the background and all the neon reflecting off the armour - very swish!

I like the new comment system too, but how will you stop the spammers now?

Danny: "No, seriously. For real... Jimmy Choo is my dad." 
Hector: *muffled* "Yeah... whatever."

I bring my ipod touch wherever I go, and I'm not particularly shy with the ladies unless they are absolutely drop dead gorgeous. ^^; Lookin forward to the vid Danny-o.

Danny very lucky with all the school girls and Koda Kumi look-a-like touching and getting close. Envious I am.

Am not always conscious when others look at me that much.  If I do catch a cute girl giving me a second glance though, I try to smile at least.  If they smile back, that kind of makes my day.

Really great photos, can't wait to see the video!
