US Ambassador to JapanI'm already an ambassador, in a way, but all over the Asia.
About the US bases in Okinawa.
It's probably to talk about things such as if Okinawa US marines should be moved to Guam at a faster pace and about the status of forces agreement with Jap...
アニメ・フェスティバル・アジアThat is a very nice Haruhi mouse pad. Such a cutey! ^^
Also, that's a very good idea about covering up the webcam. Kind of a creepy thought thinking that someone could be sitting somewhere watching your every move. Especially if you have lots of...
東京トルーパーシンガポールで踊るSorry to hear about your broke toe. I've had to run on a hurt foot before and it is not fun.
Might be best to keep off it a while or at least to limit dancing. ^^;
ジャパン・タイムズI run a Japan photo blog but I don't get to update as much as some others do. This is due to me being underway so much (even as I type this). But when I am inport, I try to show places that many people don't know about, specifically anime pilgrimag...
Tokyo to SingaporePersonally, I would put it in a sturdy case with lots of foam peanuts and bubble wrap and check it. Another option is mailing it to a DC member who you know well in Singapore.
As for lost luggage, when I first came to Japan, they shipped all of my...
呂蒙子明Good to see the Dollfie Dream community growing so much. Your influence is amazing Dannychoo and your photography of these dolls has convinced even those who did not like dolls to reconsider. ^_^
As for the question at hand. Dollfie Dreams for $1...
Obama in JapanDidn't think civies knew about this yet. ^^; But I did a search on google and articles about this came up.
I wish I could see Obama or he would come visit the ship. My brother has seen the previous US president (Bush Jr.) many times in person and...
Tokyo FoodI have yet to try pizza in Japan. From that pic, it doesn't look like what I'm used to. :/
On Yokosuka base, we have a pretty good pizza place called Anthony's Pizza. Not the best but it's a reminder of home. When we open up the gates to the Jap...
Portion Sizes in JapanGood topic. ^_^
When I first got to Japan in 2007, I was still used to American sized portions so when I went into places like MOS Burger and Freshness Burger I was shocked at the size of their burgers and had to order 2 sandwiches, large fries, an...
ドルフィー服Me too. Looks great on her Danny. ^_^
I looked for these myself at the Doll Show but I didn't see them. Probably on the 4th floor eh? Next time I'll check all the floors. ^^;
Did get an electric guitar (similar to the one Haruhi had in the ani...
フィギュアリリース第2弾Nice idea. lol
Been missing the giveaways, they were kind of fun.
Also, like the Miku Hatsune RQ but am curious as well to what that expensive doll you have there is.
向坂 環 フィギュアAh, didn't think there would be someone with a similar take on this Tamaki figure. Completely agree with you.
Her oppai look much too big for me. If they were about 50% smaller, I would buy her.
一人暮らしI've always been a like a lone wolf. My family is my trusted pack and I watch after them as they watch after me. I enjoy living with my family and keep in touch even during my 5 year seperation from them (2 and a half to go).
Right now I live on t...
ドールショウ26Wow! Nice pics. Glad you got one of Rin Kokanoe. She's adorable and they even made her friends. ^^
Also, didn't know there was a fourth floor. ToT Wonder if that's where they were selling those doll headphone/ipods that I was looking for. If...
キャラクター TシャツBeing in my mid 20s (though I look older then that ^^;), I only wear anime shirts around the house or maybe on small trips into town. Wouldn't wear them to college or anything. ^^;
Also, being in the very conservative south (USA), I also refrain f...
Burger TokyoLove eating here when I'm in Kamakura or Odaiba. My favorite burger is actually the Avocado Burger. It reminds me of an old California burger place I used to frequent many moons ago.
犬用服My grandpa owns Boston Terriers and when it gets really cold he will put sweaters on them. They don't seem to mind it and don't try and take it off or anything.
Personally, I have a cattle herding dog and putting clothes on her would be ridiculou...
As much as I like anime design cans, I feel like I'm devaluing a collectible if I drink them.
For my favorite drink. Hard to pick. I'll just narrow it down to Japanese drinks. Lately, I've been taking a liking to Aquarius/Pocari Sweat. Guess it'...
ゴミ分別They have recycleable trash dumpsters on base but no one really seperates their trash. The non-burnable side is really "the side we throw garbage in when the burnable side is full ^^;". I've only heard of one instance where the Japanese complained...
Recession in JapanAwe! I saw that guy rapping out there nearly every time I went to Akihabara. Will miss him. ):
Fortunately, I haven't lost anything yet in the recession. That's one of the benefits of my job. It's hard to get fired and has a steady paycheck.
デザイナ仕事Design 1: Love the Welcome Landing Page. Very attractive colors with mascot but still easy to find what to click on.
Don't really care for the other top page layouts from this designer. Too many large pictures all over the place, hard to figure ou...
ドルフィー アクセサリーDang, they look like secret agents or even assassins with those suits and guns. Think Saber fits the role a bit better then Nanoha. Nanoha's face is more kind and sweet while Saber's is more serious.
Hopefully I can make it to the Doll Show. My g...
ベッキー・クルーエルHer name scared me a bit but I was curious so I opened the article. Thank you Danny for deleting that picture (whatever it was). Best to be on the safe side in matters concerning....real loli.
Can't watch the youtube videos from where I am but she...
Otaku MatsuriRequirements for the ultimate Otaku Festival?
1.) Itasha with girls in cosplay who pose for photos
2.) Popular Artists/Seiyu meeting the fans/signing autographs
3.) Nekomimi Maids who encourage photography
4.) Booths from major companies (Cospa,...
3次元に2次元の目I've always been afraid of aliens ever since I was a little kid and saw the movie "Fire in the Sky". Needless to say, this scares me to death. >_<
バグ報告I use Internet Explorer primarily on my personal laptop. I use Firefox only for uploading on figure.fm. Everything else, I am stuck in my old habits.
For work, I use Netscape primarily which loads DC fairly well (except for the buttons on top). I...
なのは ねんどろいどプラスThat's really cute! I'm a big Nanoha fan so I will buy this if I see it in second hand stores in Japan. Wouldn't pay 5,000 yen or anything for her though.
Also, I thought they were making full sized nendoroids of Fate and Nanoha A's version if I...
一週間の東京 46Looks like a busy week. Always enjoy these articles. Especially like the nendoroids all of the place. See my 2 current favorite ones (Reimu and Rin Kokonoe). I have a feeling I'll be liking the Kuro-chan one as well when she comes out. ^^
For t...
I was raised Catholic and still consider myself one but I'm not extremely into it. I go to church a few times a year though and I do believe in God. So much so, that I do not pray at Japanese shrines because that feels wrong to me. To pray to diff...
Waiting to see if Win 7 has any issues playing Touhou/Doujin games. If no problems, I might upgrade my ancient laptop to a Win 7 laptop in the near future.
Don Quixote in AkihabaraWent past this building so many times but never went inside.
My favorite stores are Mandarake, Kotobukiya in Radio Kaikan, White Canvas, and lately Tora no Ana. I do like some other stores but their names are all in Japanese only.
