I love these photos, looks like a ton a fun!
May I ask how these images were color treated? Were the effects done in-camera or with software afterwards? I'm especially fond of the dithering effect in some of the pics...
Some of these comments disappoint me a bit. Danny isn't going to waste his time hiring unqualified people for a company he built. It's rather offensive to question Elly's abilities and her role at Mirai.
Anyway, congrats on your new job, Elly! Go k...
This 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...
These 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. :)
When 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....
Oh, 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...
I 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...
Many 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...
The 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...
^ 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...
The 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...

The 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!
I'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...

If you like old photos of Japan, you owe it to yourself to see this AMAZING collection of photos archived on Flickr. Absolutely stunning!

It'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 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...
At 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.
From 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...
