Candy Boy GiveawayStarted to come here every day after being in Japan. I've always been a fan of Japanese culture, movies and animation and I've collected a few figures in the past. But only after coming back from there I decided to further expand my passion.
Would l...
A Day in Tokyo 6I'm not a Lumix user but I know you can set the desired color temperature setting (as mentioned on the camera website) expressed in Kelvin. Fluorescent lights come in various kinds and they haven't got a specific color temperature (as they work diffe...
Retro Japanese GamesProbably Space Invaders on the Atari 2600 was the first game I ever owned and played...Commodore 64 and Amiga 600 followed.
I love buying used in Japan...it's always kept in amazing conditions! I got a lot of old super famicom games at a low price,...
Japanese Movies: YattamanIf you are a fan of Yattaman (and you're somewhat familiar with Takashi Miike works, since he always puts some of his grotesque in the movies he directs) I'm sure you won't be disappointed. It's fun, quite faithful to the series humor and Kyoko Fukad...
Japanese Movies: YattamanWent to see it back in April at the TOHO Cinemas in Osaka, it was really great! Takashi Miike did a great job for all Yattaman fans.
Favourite Japanese movie of all time? Hard to pick just one, but probably "Hana-bi" by Takeshi Kitano.

Opticians in JapanA really insightful post featuring dolphins and glasses... :D
The ultrasound washer looks cool. It's always a pain to clean my glasses :(
Transparent UmbrellasThe funny thing is that they are much more durable than umbrellas usually sold here, for almost 10 times that price (I'm unlucky and they tend to break after a week).
And, if you're willing to spend more than 100 yen, like 300/500 yen (still cheap)...
A Week in Tokyo 40Yes, it's a 6x6 rangefinder... takes 120 and 220 film.
You can see the rangefinder window right there in the picture, in the upper right corner of the camera (while viewing it from the front) :D
It's really a beautiful system, compact and light.
Figure.fm Development BoxSince I don't have upload permissions, I'll write here. Not sure if this is already been addressed, but I tried to "buy" the products and no matter what is the quantity I select in the dropdown menu (1-5, next to the price) the item is added just onc...
Taiwan Otaku ShoppingHere in Italy we don't get much - only the mainstream figures and such (even though, the term mainstream is not really appropriate... I've never seen Figma or Nendoroid, for example). In most cases, they are really overpriced. I've seen Takara Tomy f...
