I'm incredibly excited to announce that Fredrin who runs the awesome manga site Mega Tokyo has after long negotiations decided to pay myself and Lucasfilm for the rights to make a stormtrooper oppai mousepad! The product is called "DannyChoo - Storm...

Its been about 9 months since the Mac Life 3 article and I've been stocking up on Mac bits n pieces for today. The first photo is the latest office layout - taken after Tokyo CGM Night Episode 3 in Harajuku.

This is one of the main reasons why I choose to wear armor from the moment I step out the house instead of changing at my destination - takes ages to put together! My armor is fastened securely in place with flat screws instead of velcro which tends...

A short video that my wife n I threw together to show how I put on Stormtrooper armor. For those who cant see the vid, get along to youtube.com/watch?v=TA2zd7aBPlA to watch it. Just a quick note to say that any video you embed in member news is by...

New years greetings comrades! How is the beginning of 2009 treating you so far? Wanted to publish the events and highlights of 2008 yesterday but was eager to get pics of the Dollfies up. First pic recently taken in Odaiba with the Lumix LX3.

My Tokyo Rock Trooper video has been nominated for the best video in the Video Blog category for the YouTube Video Awards Japan 2008. My comrade at Google asked me to make a vid asking folks to vote for me - which I done but that alone would have bee...

Was featured in Mac Fan - one of Japans major Mac magazines.

Was invited by comrades at Google to YouTube Live Tokyo - the reason why I could not stay in Singapore for AFA. The most awesome thing about Live Tokyo was getting to meet n network with a load of other YouTubers too like the lovely Magibon.

Went with a bunch of Silicon Valley directors and CEO's out for a tour of Akihabara yesterday and took them along to a live house run by a few comrades at Dear Stage.

Well its been nearly four months since we filmed this video ^^; The main reason that it took so long was because every time I sat down to edit it, it was taking ages to get the hand movements in sync with the music - maybe my iPod version was out of...

Been one of the busiest weeks so far and this is how I felt like yesterday night - absolutely knackered! If you have not seen it yet, check out the Japan Public Sleeping article. Thanks to Hector for taking this pic.

Comrades from G4TV were in town from LA for a week and we thought it would be great to so some stuff together.

Me on G4TV Attack of the Show - this time they were able to mention the URL ^^; And thanks to Joseph for finding the original high res video at Attack of the Show. Looks like they didn't know that I was Vader too ^^; Original text from FMPhoenixHaw...

Still got quite a few goodies to show you from the Good Smile offices but thought we'd take a short break today for those who are not here for the figures. High res version at YouTube.

I got bored of my armor and decided to paint it silver - how does it look? Only jesting. This silver trooper can be seen at the 501st booth at the Star Wars Celebration Japan event being held at Makuhari Messe for the next 2 days. Today was the fi...

Was going to call this new series "Hand Full O updates" but decided that "Hmmm Nice Eyes" sounded more interesting. First up is me on CNN again - was interviewed on the day of the iPhone launch but didn't know they used the footage. They cut me off...

Video taken on the day of the iPhone launch in Tokyo. Footage of just the queues alone would have been boring so I thought I'd spice the video up a bit by attempting to "dance." Thanks to Hector for filming and to Akihabara News for the loan of th...

The iPhone 3G went on sale today at the Softbank flagship store in Omotesando/Harajuku. Many of my comrades have been out there waiting since 4PM and I just had to go along to egg them on.

With your feedback, I grabbed the nearest electric guitar I could find, threw on the armor and headed for Shibuya together with Hector and my wife. First up is the terrorizing of the passengers on the trains.

A survey carried out by Dai Ichi Life revealed that 39% of Japanese primary school girls take lessons outside school hours to learn how to play a musical instrument. For primary school boys the most popular lesson was swimming. The list of other le...

Hijacked from member xjaymanx. Just wanted to let you know that while I do get to have pics with many girls in armor (for example), this picture that Jay posted does not happen in real life - and even if it did it would be a waste as I cant feel anyt...

OK, I know the Caramelldansen thing has been around for a while but for some reason it has only recently started to infect the Japanese. I think most of the Caramelldansen variations have been uploaded to NicoNico but if you have a look at YouTube y...

Have 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...

At 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...
