Was out n about in Shibuya yesterday with a TV crew filming stuff which I will announce in a few weeks time - this is going to be incredibly big for dannychoo.com and all featured feed partners - if you have not joined the band wagon then
do so now!
And there just happened to be a ton of nice girlies out n about too starting off with these three. The girl in white shirt was incredibly sweet.
Before I forget, these photos are taken by my wife,
Hector,
Nekoguchi and
Windbell.
How often is it that you get gorgeous girls cuddling up to you and wanting to shake your hand - just seconds after meeting them? ^^;
This was the sweetest girl of the bunch who danced with me a little bit.
One does not typically put their arms around a girl when having a photo taken with them in Japan - so up until yesterday I didn't - I did for the blokes though. I decided that I would treat the boys and girls the same and cuddled up to the girls too ^^;
Having a 2 min break at Hachiko. This one in the
wallpaper pool.
It can be difficult filming/moving around as many folks want photos - and I don't want to refuse anybody. If I plan to film for an hour, we usually need an extra hour for photos.
While out n about filming stuff with the TV network, we decided to do some dancing at the same time - the track was
Kung Fu Fighting where I dance a bit and recreate moves from some games. Here is Ryu's Hadou Ken.
Way of the drunken fist.
Trooper phone home.
For some reason Shibuya was very very crowded yesterday. Maybe it was because they were expecting to see a
monkey on the loose.
You never know until you try. I live by this motto. Just a small example here. Managed to attach the
Rolly to the amour and planned to use it as the music source. Up until now it was only I who could hear the music though the iPod making it difficult for folks to join in.
What ended up happening is that when I started to dance, the Rolly would stop or switch to shuffle mode - the Rolly is partially controlled by the way you shake it ^^;
So its back to the drawing board. Member
Nanu directed me to an Optimus Prime voice changer helmet. Am thinking of getting it and taking out the voice unit which I would attach to speakers. I would also have an iPod attached to the speakers too and place them under the chest plate.
Love the guy taking a photo in the back with his mouth wiiide open ^^;
The folks were fascinated by the Rolly. Sony didn't really promote it. The only real promotion it got was by Mac users - ironic because the Rolly only comes with Windows software.
Caption that photo.
Swamped by girls!
Sweet girl behind trying to peek into me helmet ^^;
Dont hug girls who carry donuts.
Many many fellow gaijin out n about.
Nekoguchi and
Windbell.
Many folk ask me why I do this. I don't get paid to dance in the rain or walk around in a mobile sauna - but I love it.
Its because I have a load of fun while doing it and meet lovely people at the same time. Its great being able to just go out, have fun and make friends with folks around the city. Who said that folks in Tokyo are snobbish?
When you came to Japan, did you find the local folks to be kind, horrible or neither? What are folks like in general in your region?
I found people in London to be miserable and folk in the US (Seattle, LA) to be kind and open.
Got to use my Korean for a change.
Joining the bouncers at a club.
The couple closest to me said "YouTube miteimasu. Odotte!" [YouTube見ています。踊って!] meaning "(we) watch (you) on YouTube. Dance for us!" Hmmm nice GF.
More Japanese girlies.
Waiting to cross hachiko...
...But get stopped by another girlie.
"Kakkoii yo!" [かっこいいよ!] says the man meaning "(you) look cool!"
You should use this term when you see something that visually looks cool whether its the appearance of something or an action - listen out for it when you watch anime.
More (younger) girlies.
Looking at these photos is an interesting experience for me because the world I see through the helmet is all green.
Want to find a way to have glowing neon lights shimmering though the gaps in the armor.
Huuge crowed as soon as I reach Shibuya station. Luckily there was no law enforcement throughout the night ^^;
