In Japanese, sticking the word "get" on the end of a noun means that you have acquired that noun. "Mirei Figure Get" for example means that you've just got your Mirei figure and have a nose bleed from looking at her.
I can now tell you "Vader Armor Get!" as I ordered some armor from Ebay. These are pics of the armor that I'm supposed to be getting I just hope that I dont end up in another COSTUMEJUNKIE fiasco. Will let you know how it goes.

BTW, you are probably sick of hearing about me being on TV by now but I'm on again this weekend - Tokyo MXTV 10PM. Its the second half of the Akiba Report.
I will also be filming next week in Nakano Broadway so expect to see some otaku goodness form that half of Tokyo too.

BTW2, I'm redesigning the top page and need to ask you for some input in the polls ;-)

I wonder how people in Japan would react towards Darth Vader walking around. Danny will you be getting a light saber to go along with the costume? that would be pretty funny in the street.

And soon the great Darth Danny will be roaming in Tokyo... A must-see!
Question: Who will take the role of the Stormtrooper then?

And yes, a red lightsaber would be great indeed!!

Ace!
I dont think Vader is as cool as a stormtrooper though... More menacing though. I used to be scared of him when i were a nipper.
How about something a bit more japanese sometime? A Godzilla suit or Kamen rider? ^_^

Looking forward to the Nakano report. I went there and i was astonished at how many anime shops can be crowded into one small out-of-town shopping center! Should be ace seeing some photos. The pic-preventers were highly skilled there.

Though it must be costing you an arm and a leg to buy a Vader suit. Since you'll be wearing that you'll need another person to wear the stormtrooper outfit to follow you around.

Heh heh.  Darth Danny of Tokyo, rise.  XP

Very nice, I just knew someday you'd get that costume.

So... if I ever visit Tokyo... and you want to raid the city again as Darth Vader... you think I could come along in the Stormtrooper costume?  XP

The shipping must be pricey if its being shipped to Japan. But it looks cool. And hot. And by hot, I mean temperature wise. I'd hate to wear that on a hot, muggy day.

Looks like you're on track for a promotion to Emperor by next year.

~Small advertisement~

Dear Darth Chooder,
We have new ideas just for you!

What about putting a special stats page for people (including Ewoks) to know how many members of the Galactic Empire (and affiliated) joined your ranks during the past month or in total?
Your youngest, promising Sith, the one named Mirai Suenaga, would be the one to present it, and it surely would be an instant success.

Please take care,
We hope to hear from you soon.

hmm.. a vader costume.. looks like you're getting an uniform upgrade. ^^ although I'd imagine wearing black leather would be a lot easier on the joints and private parts. ^^ guess you're gonna have to change the pictured menu above from Stormtrooper in Tokyo to Darth Vader in Tokyo. ^^ so is your mascot gonna have a Vader costume as well? ^^

Hmmm, Vader armor looks cool, really cool. The shell only, that is. No need for the person. ^^
I saw what you meant by the COSTUMEJUNKIE incident... I'd be furious about that. It looks like he's still got good reputaion though. Vader GET would be really cool.

Wow, that'a a great GET! Danny, with your new Vader cosplay you will be an otaku kami-sama on Japanese TV. You'll be a talento for sure and get invited to random shows to make smat-ass comments or host food segments. Get an agent quick...  Too bad Dotchi no Cooking show has ended or you could have been a voting guest too.

Keep up the good job and make us proud, kami-sama.
