Dammit! Tokyo's lovely lit up streets makes me wish i were there right now! The guy on the first video and the people running after you on the 'running' one - were they trying to be a nuisance? Do you get much aggro? If you wore the stormtrooper costume in the UK you wouldnt last 10 minutes! Who takes the videos/ photos when youre out trooping? Your wife? As for the arcade question - i spent loads on Taiko no tatsujin and other cool rhythm games in Tokyo arcades, but alas, there is nothing of the sort in the UK.
that's outrageous, 85k for a $600 console? people need to come to their senses and get some therapy for their narcissistic issues. Danny, love the clips and keep up the good work :)
Hi Danny! :) It's good that you're assisting people as a Stormtrooper. That's points for you and your armor; though you're already pretty popular. Yep, if money's not in question, I'm a sucker for shooting games in the arcade, and DrumMania too! Dance Revolution makes me sweat alot in public, so I ditched it.
Holy crap that can't be for real. Who in the right mind would pay 2,147,483,648 Yen for a game system that could be purchased for MUCH less if they waited for a few more weeks. Its so insane that no one would do that... that is unless they have very very deep pockets.... Cheers,
I seriously need to see the type of people who are buying that for that much money. And it's not like it's a rare bid, most of the PS3s are going for $10k+ US. I have seriously not met or heard of anyone who would shell out that kind of cash for a videogame console. Totally blows my mind.
Oh Gosh!!...IT IS so FUNNY!!!! hahaha....your life in Japan is really lovely one....a storm trooper after work???? you really have a great "part time" job out there!! Thx in advance for your reviews Danny!!
Looks like you are having a lot of fun! I have always wanted to do crazy stuff like that and to live life in an outgoing manor. In America, it doesn't work this way =p. Culture in Japan and Culture in America can well... be different. Anywhoo I love life, and I love always coming back to see the next crazy thing you are doing. I love both countries (I love my country, USA) and your blog is the prime way I get information from Japan and how life for you and others is going. Keep up the great work, and I am looking forward to that Wii review!
Interesting. How much free time do you have on your hands (per week)?
That interviewer is real giggly, isn't she :p
YOU は SHOCK! You need to find a few Stormtrooper friends. Stormtroopers work best in a group. ^_^
That current bid on that PS3 HAS to be a fraud.
maybe you should join the 501st danny. there is a japanese garrison and they only have 42 members. And by the look of your armor you would get in easily. P.S. join the Stormtrooper School of Marksmanship
I sure enjoyed those videos. I bet you had so much fun doing those. Where else in the world can you walk around in the streets like that. Yep, it's only in Japan. Reminds me again why I so wanna go there. I sure wish I could spend a day in those armor boots of yours. heheh.
danny choo's a big celebrity in japan!!! the videos were great fun...im still overly jealous of you having a ps3...again, great site danny!!! really love visiting your site everyday!!!
On the topic of PLAYST. 3: PlayStation 3 consoles advertised as used are appearing for sale in Japan shops as well as online auctions. They are being sold for up to four times the retail price of the console, which went on sale in Japan last Saturday for about £270. There are also reports that homeless people were paid to queue for the console on behalf of people now selling them on at a higher price!!
I envy how you could just walk around the city in armour. ^^ I wonder though, how do you cope walking around in them during rush hour. It must be a real pain going into a subway train, or probably even drive a car in armour. ^^

WOW!! I just love Japan..I love it when people get together on such a joyful event.(",)
Yea i agree Japan is awesome! You got it good Danny trooping in Japan... lol
I don't know if you knew it when a guy touched your bags (black thing) at the video Storm Trooper runs around Shibuya! [5.27/8:14] (the time limit at youtube) it seems he want your money or something like that... Anyway I like the video where you played one of those shooting games. Good job!
Shin222, Yes I did notice that and need to secure those pouches. FRAME, The 501st have strict regulations in Japan and if I was a member I probably would not be allowed to go around like that... Appolinaire, Minus 24 hours. AndyH, Have not encountered any aggro yet but do get a few drunk people coming over ^^;
Mr Choo, when I grow up I wanna be a Stormtrooper just like you! You're hardcore.
so many People out there getting the PS3, even chicks!! Thats awesome, I had no idea people camped out for it!! Trooping around vids are awesome Danny, Your'e a lucky fella.....
Woooo ! People have some funny reactions sometimes :) No reaction at all (stormtrooper is usual) or running after you to take picture lol. But how can you run with suit and helmet ?!
Hey nice outfit, have to say u got a great life goin on, i always wanted to be living in japan, to get away from the crap in the UK, well reply bak on my email, laterz
To Danny Choo, Related to this; http://www.riuva.com/?p=457 Can you get Chiwa Saitou next time? XD From Waterfall
Those vids are awesome! I want me one of those Storm Trooping suits! It's also cool hearing ya accent. Even though you said you grew up in Hackney, it still surprised me. *lol*
it's you daddy http://kr.n2o.yahoo.com/NBBS/1211199988
You can only do this in Japan I think, you walk around here with that kind of suit I'm sure people would call 911(112 here) and call for the guys in white suits to take you back to the phsycs hospital
Nice. I want a Star Wars costume. ^^
