Was recently interviewed by GYAO - a popular online video streaming channel in Japan.
You can see the 5 videos of me at Gyao talking about dannychoo.com, how I came to Japan, my work and trooping shenanigans.
Was the first time I gave motivational talks in Japanese - how much did you understand?


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.

    Video 4 about the Stormtrooper costume I think was the 1st time we have seen inside the helmet and finally in video 5 we get to hear a description of what each of the figurines are. I got to wonder if it felt kind of weird explaining them to a 'tv camera'? lol / grin .

    So they are like the articles, but condensed. Need to watch them a few times to get all the words, but I suppose that's expected what with learning Japanese from anime and games. Like how you wring your hands as you talk about the figures, heh.

    First thing that came to my mind was "GYAAAAAAAO NEXT". This is probably a sign that I've been watching too much 00...
