Maid business boom phenomenon.
Japan gets some of the most original events ever. That looks like a lot of Ota friendly fun, I'm loving the variety of maids! It's brilliant. Wish I could have been their but I will be in Japan in a mere 13 days so I have no right to complain. You'd never get events like this in England, because you'd probably get some sod or a gang who comes along to ruin things. I like how organized the event seems, it looks like nothing went wrong at all. Its the perfect mix of sun, water, maids and Otaku. Maid Fetish for the win!
nice footage danny ^^ domo arigatou!! I love maids... i don't know why but it can't be helped LOL
Very nice pics Danny, I would love to have been there when the wind picked up ;p. I agree with you that people are not there to see a bunch of guys throw water and would rather just see the girls do it lol. Interesting thing you got for maids with glasses, my brother has the same fetish ;p, he tries to find all the figures he can with those characteristics.
Thanx Danny, very nice ! :) Arf, why am I not living in Japan ?... :/
That's a cool tradition you show to us there. Another nice coverage. Nah, I don't have a fetish for maids or catgirls, furries or any girls in uniforms (police, army). I prefer angels, mermaids and nurses (and also girls in armor, RPG style) ^^;
"you are showing us". Gah. another typo from my part. Those stuff called oke, are they used in onsen? Haha, Danny promoting a maid cafe, reminds me of Mikuru Asahina and Nagato Yuki during the first episode of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. And last but not least thought on my mind, I don't have a fetish for girls with glasses. I wear a pair all the time myself. Good for looks but boring when you have to rely on them all the time). :P
I indeed love girls who wear maid outfits. I also agree that the girl wearing pink was very cute. Also learn something new about Japan again, noice.
Damn it. I wish these sorta things happend in the UK!! wouldhave totally been enjoying the view!!!!! Nice 1 Danny
Just added the first image to the wallpaper pool. http://www.dannychoo.com/wp/index.php?language=eng
"Our maid cafe is fit for an Imperial Stormtrooper!" I will definitely try out at least one maid cafe when I come over.

hey danny, is this the same thing like sometimes we saw in anime where housewives/woman sprinkle water in front of the doorstep?
what a photo op! cuteness everywhere.
Love maid XD really nice coverage Danny. Ya, the pink maid with classes is cute, and thank you for the wallpaper. But there another one I really like to have for wallpaper. The one with 3 black maid, one with glasses and bunny ear, one with cat ear. http://www.dannychoo.com/slide/eng/uchimizu2007/15758/photo/Uchimizu/ can you make that one wallpaper? onegaishimasu XD
e-jump, It sure is. J.L, Your wish is my command. Done!
Maids that go "Kyaa!" while trying to keep their skirts down = Moe! ^^;
there really is an event like this in Japan? At times, I question my Japanese heritage... I guess I am being white washed... This must have been a fun event to watch. Was there a water fight afterwards?
"macho maids?"---> I believe it's butler maids..the girls cosplay as guys and be butlers.. and danny has a fetish for pink maids with specs!!!
This is so cool...who knows what they will use maids for next...
(>_<) I can't believe I miss it by going to the other side (Akiba-Yodobashi). Nice photo Danny btw :) Kawaii~

Danny, do you only go out in public with your Trooper suit on? Haha just kidding, thanks for the pics and video, it's really cool to hear about all these events.
when did the event end? and after that are u going straight to home? did u do the sprinkling?
Ah~ I wish I could of seen this in person T_T
Thank you my Danny (^o^)/アリガト bunny megane Maide, neko mimi Maide and cute Maide XD
thanks for the great video and picts Danny ^^ that's one large gathering of meidos and yeah the meganekko meido in pink is cute *heart* the meido on your last is really cute too *heart heart heart* meido screaming kyaa~ = mo~e! and yes i have a fetish for meidos and high school girls XDDD
what the hell?? why isn't this fun stuff happening in the u.s.?? were prudes thats why.. they'd have some feminist group up in arms if someone tried to do this here.. too demeaning.o_O btw.. love the shots, keep us preverted people happy Danny :D
Seen this Uchimizu in some documentary somewhere. Never thought there would be one with maids in it. *sigh*, I wish i was there XD. Thanks for the great pics and vid danny :)
Hahahaha I think the title should be "Maid Heaven" But it is a interesting activity. Altough Japanese famous with their technology, they are still doing some ritual like this.
Arg, I'm with bolt. Japan gets all the fun :p Great pics ~ the pink meido w/glasses, woooo ^^;
i just hope i'm there with my camera lol..
Danny, the maid in the pink really looks beautiful.

I also wanted to go there
arggh! My nose! This is the single largest gathering of maids I've ever seen. And not one of them is..unattractive as for as i know...How did the men cope...how did you cope danny?! Something like this needs to be done in the UK. But knowing how annoying people over here can be, it would probably be ruined by yobs. Would have loved to see such a ritual up close..if you know what i mean...
WOOO! MAIDS!! Wish I could be there. :*(
a gathering of maids? Now i have no more reasons NOT to go to japan
Holy cow, thats the biggest swarm of maids ive ever seen! Hope you didnt get any painful armour mokkori's about the pink girl! They coulda done with chucking some water on you - i bet you were boiling in that armour... Lucky the plastic didnt melt on your head! Still, great weather for it, having an uchimizu when its raining would have been stoopid. How come you got to hang out with the maids 'backstage' before the event anyway? I bet those otaku were hoping for a strong gust of wind when they were coming down the stairs... As for never going to a maid cafe? Shame on you! I highly reccomend the '@home cafe' to the left of that building with the SHARP sign. VERY busy, and even has a maiko cafe. Its on 3 floors o.O I think they wear pink maid costumes too, but not like that one you like.
Me again. Just found the site for that mega-maid cafe in Akiba. http://www.cafe-athome.com/
i want moar pics of pinku megane meido!!!! less of yanki meido though...thats just scary
Me AGAIN! Sorry! Looks like Moeyo got lucky with the upskirt windy shots: http://www2.moeyo.com/img/07/08/05/1/105.html

This is absolutely great. The photo of the three maids throwing water just before the one of Rio Hatsune is a classic - deserves a print!
This is.. so odd! Who did they use before maid cafes came around? I like how on that website they give you instructions on how to perform uchimizu, and outline the hazards!
Speechless..huhuhu(dripping saliva)..sluurrps.!!
wowowo all those lovely maids! that's just... can't find any word to describe what I feed hehe ^^; Thanks for this event coverage. Pink maid with glasses sooooo moe! She's fanstastic.

There must be a whole lot of maid cafes... It's like an Anime sprung to life! Now I know why I always see Japanese characters in shows splashing out water and the name for it. You learn something new everyday. Looks like it was a really fun event. I'm always surprised at how such events can run so smoothly without anyone trying anything - especially the idol photo shoots.
wowow!!! you really are living the good life. wish i was there. I think there was a mention about this on one of the local newspapers in my area. still drooling.....
HO MY... What's this? Heaven? Seriusly Danny i can die in a place like this. Am' i wrong or there was some with glasses on?OO Grate pics as always Danny, u really hitme in the spot this time....
Fetish for maids = YES! Maids with guns = EVEN BETTER!
ahh, I couldn't believe I forgot this event. >_>
Thanks for taking the pictures Danny now i know why they like to splash water around on the streets. I bet you must have been roasting inside the stormtrooper suit
omg I can totally see Mirai chan sprinkling water ;D!!! (in a maid outfit!)

Amazing photos and coverage Danny! Personally I find the idea of macho or 'butler' maids appealing. though what i'm really puzzled about is why you haven't visited a maid cafe yet. o_o?
now this is a great way to have some fun. were you invited to join them there? or you kind of just "i came, i saw, i conquered?" hehehee
Whooo, this is so cool :D Now I really want to live there (I wanted to anyway ;p) But I guess this only happens one day a year. The pink one with glasses sure looks very moe, but many of them look good ;p I've been 2 times to Japan, but next time I'm definitely going to a meido kissa ;p That comment about you from one of the organizers that was filming was funny: "An'ta wa dare?" He seemed quite surprised seeing a storm trooper attending a maid uchimizu ;p
I have a bad addiction to maids. I thought going to a メイド喫茶 would get it out of my system... Yep, my addiction is even worst now. ^^; You really need to visit one Danny. I consulted some acquaintance more powerful in the ways of Otaku. Popular consensus is the cutie wearing the glasses is from "MerryHeart" http://merryheart.jp/ I hope their right. By the way, did I mention the bad addiction I have for cute girls wearing glasses... Oh god I'm hopeless. ^o^
Danny, you've been spotted at this Meido-san Blog too: http://www.maidblog.net/archives/50618311.html
Edward, now your fiancée should know what to do to please you a great deal! (lol)
I too find girls with glasses look really cute. ^^ Maid + glasses = WIN!!! That girl with the glasses in 9973 looked really kawaii IMHO. XD I should have been there. Argh.

So you died and went to heaven??? Last sunday it was the World Cosply Summit... how come i dont see anything about it here?

Wow! I really a big fan of Japanese girls, I find out them so cute and delicate - and see a bunch of girls like that is really amazing. Snif! How I wish to date a Japanese woman... How unlucky I am!
Wow! I really a big fan of Japanese girls,How I wish to date a Japanese Girl...sob sob
Nice pics, and great event! I'd like to see one live... Also, LOL, bunch-a nerdy looking guys. Yeah, the event only looks goods when girls are throwing the water... :P
Me like all maids !!! Yum Yum !!
holy water from cute japanese girls... i want to join too...
