Cycling in TokyoThis was a particularly interesting post for me. These slice-of-everyday-life posts have always been my articles on here.
When I lived in the city, I biked all the time. Now that I live a little farther out from work, my poor bike is rusting away i...
AFA 09These young ladies were a HUGE hit with my coworkers. I just had to call them over and share the wealth. I felt a true "moe" moment there!
And I'd LOVE to see that first photo in the wallpaper pool if it's possible. :)
Mirai FigmaThat's absolutely great!
If your Dolfies made you feel like a father, then I can only imagine how it must feel to see this come to fruition!
Japanese SkirtsWhen I think of short skirts falling out of fashion, it reminds me of the 90's when all the girls wore unflattering baggy clown pants.
Oh, that was such a dark time for humanity....
Taiwan Otaku ShoppingOh, I also wanted to ask, when you're from out of the country and you buy an epic TON of loot like this, how do you get it home?
Do you carefully pack it, or do you have it shipped home? I think I'd choose shipping rather than have a customs officer...
Taiwan Otaku ShoppingI like Danny's philosophy regarding member's "stuff". As long as it's reasonably relevant to the spirit of the website and no one's being abusive, let them have fun with what they post. I don't care for when people take an elitist attitude over what...
Book OffMany years ago my roommates and I received a gift from a friend who was getting married, his HUGE collection of health material.
This was a massive shipping box packed to the brim with magazines and a stack of videos. It was easily enough to fill th...
Suenaga Sisters: Sibling LoveI'll have to joint the crowd and concur that this is very professional quality work.
Plus the story is freak'in hot!
Well done!
Dolls PartyThe more I read these articles, the more I appreciate how cool these dolls are. I think the attention to detail and dedication of the collectors is quite admirable. I'd love to attend one of these events.
I was also thinking about the price tags on...
NHK^ goodness my sentences are terrible... you would think English was my second language! :)
I have to say this has been one of the most personally interesting posts on here! I'm fascinated with the whole self-contained world inside of NHK HQ. It's...
NHKThe dude in the bottom left corner looks a bit like actor Alan Rickman, best to know to most as Snape in the Harry Potter flicks...

AKB48 Cosplay BattleThe thing I appreciate about AKB48 is that they cut right to the chase and just give the fans what they want: lot's of fan service! They make no pretensions about why the wotas and otaku tune in!
Best Ever Bootleg FiguresI've got a small collection of bootlegs and try to look out for more. I've got a few really funny Star Wars rip-offs!
My all time favorite is RobertCop, I wish I had this one...

Shibuya - Then and NowIf you like old photos of Japan, you owe it to yourself to see this AMAZING collection of photos archived on Flickr. Absolutely stunning!

New MacsIt's interesting to know that you entered the Apple realm with a Mini. When Apple first produced them, a big part of the marketing was to promote a cheaper, entry level Mac to tempt Windows users into coming over. Looks like it worked!
I'm a Mac fan...
A Week in Tokyo 34A great post, these "Week in Tokyo" segments are my favorite pieces here! I'm always wanting to look in the window at life in the East..
My first experience with the Asian custom of removing shoes was a bit embarrassing. Many years ago I dated a Ko...
A Week in Tokyo 33At work we use teleport between one of our iMacs and a Mini (used as an FTP server) and it works quite well once you get used to it. The only small problem is when you accidently move the mouse too far and jump when you don't want to.
A Week in Tokyo 33That dude Matt as a great place, and it kicks even more ass when you see the view! I'd consider sleeping in a closet if it came with a view like that!
Tokyo CGM NightFrom this terrific post you've turned me on to at least four websites that were new to me that I bookmarked for my regular reading. (and from one those sites I just discovered a cool band I hadn't heard of!)
I'm ALWAYS looking for new groovy stuff s...
Japanese GraveyardsI told my wife to give away the useful guts and burn the rest when I go.
Besides, I really don't like the image of just laying in the Earth rotting away...
