The article widget on the top page is under maintenance for today but I will continue to update the News Items on the left which you can also subscribe to by RSS. The article widget should be back soon.
Yesterdays A Week in Tokyo 7 article is here and the rest of the articles are in the archives.
Feel free to talk about anything under this "article" ^^;

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.

This item was posted in the category. You can see more of everything else or subscribe via RSS instead.

Read the RSS feed all the time and scan the news articles most of the time. I'm just not getting a lot of time to participate in the conversations. Just so much to do anymore, but I do try.

Try very hard to keep up with various blogs, Twitter, Jaiku, Flickr and create my own web presence. Along with all the necessities of daily life such as, work, classes, taking a dump...

Well enough crying in my beer. Need to get some Nihongo study in today, since I spent most of the morning working on Google Adwords.

Looking forward to the site upgrades!

I read everyday, but I must admit I cheat!
I use an RSS reader (Google Reader).

But I need it... it would be very hard to go reading the 100+ entries I read everyday if I had to go to each and every blog I follow. :P

Anyways, DannyChoo is the only one I read everything and post a comment on almost every article.

Other blogs are more like a quick read with occasional commenting for me... :P

Agree with lostandfound and chun- The news items are short, convenient, and yet informative. Not to mention that there's a great community here, filled with all sorts of friendly, fellow otaku. ^^
Am very glad to have found this site.
WE LOVE YOU DANNY~! xD

Same for me. I always check them. It's how I keep up with Otaku-dom.

Mucho Thankias Choo-san! Without your info on new figures and awesome Japanese culture I don't know how I'd keep up!!

Gone fishing as well... (videogames and anime plus some homework), but I massively update on the site as much as possible.
And Pyramid_Head, it's still no. I know what I want to buy next and I don't think I'd go astray from my list.

@Laughingman, I dont recall you ever being inside me, but then there were a couple of those nights I was very drunk...

@D_Blade, whooo hoooo! Its always great to read your comments bro. Even if the translation from english is a bit rough sometimes. (im sure my French isnt much better)

Thanks DRAGUN, but it's rather the way I express myself, writing as my thoughts come by... I don't think my level of english has gone so bad over the years but who knows?
(Insert "LOL" here)
By the way, you got killer lines on your own, so I return the compliment to you.
