Primaries
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 of dancing in Akiba.
Was meeting up with some of the blog dinner mob at the same time - Lisa from Wired Magazine and Tokyo Mango, Aoki from Drikin, Nobi from Nobilog2 and Aoyama from Buru.jp. Decided to do the group-photo thingy.
You may recognize Ayumi from the YouTube Neta Battle.
Folks who are interested can get Shiki-chans gravure DVD from #''#B000VXKRLS,望月紫葵,Amazon#''# and you can see them both regularly on Dance Shuffle which is broadcasted on Kanagawa TV.
The girls tell me that they are still deciding what their uniform should look like and that todays gear is experimental - do you have any suggestions that I can pass onto the girls? Or do you like it as it is?
I'm personally quite fond of it ^^;
One more pic before we hit the streets.
We decide that the front of Radio Kaikan is a good spot.
The girls start to dance to a track that is still in production.
I then join in after looking like a prat ^^;
Footage of me dancing with the girls will appear on YouTube soon but all I have for now is the short clip that I took below on the Xacti.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

I always did like those baseball style T-Shirts with them stripes n such.
I bet Akiba is much more lively since you hang out there Danny... i wonder if there are more people going around in costumes like you with your Trooper.
Oh, and i mean non-anime-style-cosplay or such. ;) Or is StarWars already an anime? *imagines a SD Obiwan and Darth Vader arguing about who got the most gadgets built-in on their lightsabers* nuhuhuhuh ^o^

The uniforms are cute, but I really wonder if they (or just Japanese people in general) understand the suggestion of "player 69".... I kind of hope not.

I like the outfits. And both of them are very attractive. But, my one question is, why the stormtrooper outfit? Or is that something I'll find as I dig through the site?

Shiki Mochizuki looks sweet, she reminds me of Ikeuchi Aya (as in 1 Litre of Tears). Probably it's because the share the same hairstyle. ^^
Btw does the name "Shiki Mochizuki" mean Shiki (paper?) likes mochi? ^^
Student
i'd prefer that they wear the regular seira fuku uniform it is more nice and cute for me ..the one they are wearing looks like the one for baseball or something like that so ..mmmmmm sports ...nope we sholud keep the tardition with ceratian variations.......
I don't know what their other clothing style looks like, but I'll just say yes on this one. Since it looks cute on them, but this looks really fun. I envy you, T^T .

I think Ayumi's (I think that's the one) outfit should be a more stunning blue, like maybe sky blue. Also, the "Player 69" thing...わけわかないや。たぶん、他のかわりにかわるかもな。Like maybe...something less suggestive >_> Other than that, the style of the jersey and skirt are nice. They should stay.
By the way, isn't it cold in Tokyo right now? Weren't you all freezing, especially the girls? o_o

I must say that out of all the sports, the baseball uniform look is the best on women with the button downs. It works well with their choreography.
