7pm - on the trains to spot that Spider Man has been licensed to rent apartments - in this case the snazzy Bloom Tower.

Speaking of Spider Man - have you seen the Japanese version before?

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 Japan category. You can see more of everything else or subscribe via RSS instead.

  Question... Where's he hanging from?? Isn't it just sky up there?
  
  I saw bits of that Japanese Spider-man... and I still don't get why his robot is called "Leopardon" or something like that.

    The makers of spiderman gave up anchoring him down to buildings long ago.
    If you play any of the 3D environment spiderman games, his webs attach to nothing most of the time.
    If you REALLY want, I mean really, you could come up with some bs excuse saying that there's another building that's taller, and infront of him, or a construction crane, etc, etc.

Italian spiderman is great though. It's fake, but it's still awesome. Definitely check it out.

Well if the apartments are good enough for Spiderman then they should be good enough for me.
Unless, of course, one of the requirements to rent a apartment there is that you need to wave your arms around randomly each time you say your name.

Kind of makes me wish I had my own Megaman theme song that played when I showed up to a room.

Someone should attack him while hes doing all those poses. Maybe its like DBZ where its like you have to watch you opponent power up right in front of you.

(But, it would be as cool without the poses.)
Does anyone know what that bracelet is that hes wearing?

You are all wrong to assume his many poses leave him vulnerable! It is obvious that Japanese Spiderman has spent his days atop Tokyo Tower training in the lost spider-style martial arts! Every pose is a lead-in to the deadly poison-spider strike... or something.

  Agreed - Italian Spiderman is more human. I can say that, because I remember those fashions and hairstyles!!!
  
  Although it's badly drawn, at least Italian Spiderman has a spider on his chest, unlike Japanese Spidey, who has a falling bomb??!?
