Seijin ShikiYesterday was a public holiday known as "Seijin no Hi" [成人の日] or "Coming of age day" where those who have turned 20 are declared adults meaning they can now do SDV (Smoke, Drink and Vote).
In the past, the coming of age day was celebrated onl...
Hiromi NishiuchiWas doing some spring cleaning of the hard drive and stumbled upon these photos that I took of Hiromi Nishiuchi that I forgot to upload ^^;
Apart from the regular sightseeing, folks visiting Tokyo may want to give an Idol photo shoot a whirl.

Akihabara ShoppingMy first memories of Japan were sunny afternoons walking around in Akihabara drinking some Calpis water while shopping for hardware - just like yesterday.
Akihabara GirlsJust got back from a sunny afternoon in Akihabara and noticed more nice girls than usual. So what does one do when there are nice girls in Akiba? Do what everybody else does and take a load of photos ^^;
Valentines Day in JapanHave heard of chocolates being given to idols but never expected to receive chocolates *from* an idol ^^;
This is Ayumi Hotta from the Primaries giving me some valentines chocolates last Monday - to the folks who asked what was in the orange bag in...
PrimariesAt the begging of yesterdays 4 hours in Akihabara, I bumped into two of my idol comrades Ayumi Hotta [堀田あゆみ] (girl in blue) and Shiki Mochizuki [望月紫葵] - together they are known as the "Primaries" [プライマリーズ]. We decided to go do a bit o...

For some reason I missed my stop. The most cutesome Sayaka Isoyama (磯山さやか).
Amano Ai PhotosAmano Ai released her first DVD and there were 2 launch events in Akihabara last weekend which Frankie and I attended.
And yes - this picture is in the wallpaper pool ^^
Amano AiI dont have reason to be happy knowing somebody working at NASA but for some reason I do feel happy knowing that I have a friend who is an idol ^^;
This is my friend Amano Ai - the last time I spoke about her was last October but I didn't person...
Nana KasaiWhile I preferred Miri, Hector preferred Nana which is why you will see more pics of her in his blog post.
Those who want to find out more about Nana can get themselves along to her blog and catch her in action in this video. Thanks again to the...
Maya KoizumiSaid to myself that I wouldn't attend another DVD launch event because of the 60 second time limit for taking photos. Have always wanted to photo Maya however and went along last Saturday. I'm surprised that there are even Idol DVD launch events wher...
Underwear ThiefThe word for underwear in Japanese is "Shitagi" (下着(したぎ)) where the colloquial form is "Pantsu" (パンツ) or "Panchu" (ぱんちゅ).
Figures that cast-off are cute but for me it pretty much ends there (even though I complain when a figure cant cas...
Ai Shinozaki Bikini VerAi-chan in her battle gear and blaster ready to troop. I love this picture!
I do prefer her previous battle gear as I think it would be more effective in giving the enemy nose bleeds.
BTW, Japanese culture and nose bleeds - can you guess why me...
Hiromi Nishiuchi Bikini VerAccording to the results from the previous poll for this series, you wanted to see Hiromi battle suit pcs first so here they are. Theres actually more but too much for one post - dont want you loosing too much blood from a nose bleed.
Two differe...
GothloliAi Shinozaki in her Gothloli gear. The term Goth Loli comes from 'Gothic Lolita' and you can read more about this unique fashion at Wikipedia. You can even buy some Gothloli gear for your boss if you want. I hear that you can see a ton of girls dress...
Hiromi NishiuchiPhotos of cutie Hiromi Nishiuchi taken in the afternoon just after Wonfes.
These pictures just dont capture her incredibly bright n bubbly personality. While some idols wait for you to suggest poses, Hiromi would hold a different pose after each sh...
Ai ShinozakiHere are the rest of the images of Ai Shinozaki taken at sundays photo session.
Some of you asked how common photo sessions are. As far as I know, these sessions have been around since the stone age where cavemen drew images of the idols on Tricerat...
Idol Photo SessionI heard the word “Satsuei Kai” (撮影会(さつえいかい)) among the otaku community and didn’t really know what it was apart from the literal translation roughly meaning “group photo session”. After further investigation, I find out that one can go and p...
Yui AragakiTomorrow is the 11th of November. To you and I it means PS3 launch day but did you know that its also Pocky day?! Pocky day has been recognized as a memorial day by the Japanese Memorial day association since November 11 1999. Japanese year formats a...
Idol Blogs<!--1--> #w#1,2,Ai Amano#w# Update: More Ai-chan photos here.
Don’t know much about her but do know that she sings, appears on TV from time to time and also made an appearance at Chara Hobby recently. Unfortunately I only went on Press day so didn’...
TGS GirlsWhat better way to start the week than with a bunch of pics of the companion girls taken at the TGS over the weekend. Not sure why but car and game events seem to go hand in hand with companion girls in Japan.
Not that I'm complaining...
All of the...
Sayaka IsoyamaIdol Sayaka Isoyama had very recently become the campaign girl for Georgia coffee - can be seen all over the train posters and on TV.
Those resident in Japan may know that Sayaka is a rather popular idol whose done/doing the bikini, promotions, and...
Sayuki MatsumotoWhoops! Forgot to ask you whether or not you wanted me to go to the Sayuki Matsumoto Idol event at Yamagiwa last Sunday - and you know that I would only go if you asked me ^^;
Sayuki has been doing her rounds on the circuit as a race queen and can...
Sayaka Tashiro83% of you said that you would hunt me down and eat my spleen if I didnt go to the Sayaka Tashiro DVD launch event. Rather than go without my spleen for the rest of my life, I decided that I should brave the crowds and attend.
Now I've already be...
Risa Shimamoto88% of you asked me to go to Risa's DVD launch event so with camera in hand, I headed off to Ishimaru Soft2 in Akihabara. The remaining 12% of you wished for more Candy Girl pics instead so I'll grant that wish too at a later date ^^.
Todays event...
Sayaka TashiroJust got back from the Risa Shimamoto event and found out that there is going to be a Sayaka Tashiro event tomorrow - I'm willing to sacrifice myself again but you need to tell me before 1PM tomorrow whether you want me to go or not...

Risa ShimamotoLooks like Japanese idols are popular around here judging by the popularity of Asaki's gallery.
I thought I'd let you know that there's going to be another event at Ishimaru in a few weeks time where you get to meet the well endowed Risa Shimamoto...
Japanese IdolWent through my site stats the other day and discovered that the Yoshida Asaki gallery has been in the top 3 most viewed galleries since I uploaded her bouncy bubbly pics back in March. So just for those who enjoyed Asaki - I thought I would upload t...
KahoI've been brining you some of the nitty gritty on the Japanese Idol and since you clapped your beedy eyes on Asaki Yoshida, I've been getting requests for more idol news - especially of the bikini variety. Well more bikini idol stuff in the summer bu...
Asaki YoshidaThose who watched Densha Otoko would have had a taste of the many aspects of "Otaku" - many of which I've been covering - but I missed one important subject - the Japanese Idol. Wikipedia has a good explanation of what an Idol is so read that before...
