Before we look at the ecchi stuff in Akiba, I would like to thank all those who applied for the translator positions that I posted in my News Items.

I'll just repeat what I said in the updated post.

I'm proud to have sooo many talented folks in the community! Many super stars were also discovered too. As mentioned in the original text, due to the amount of applications (much more than expected within such a short time!), I cant reply to all. I will start contacting chosen applicants - If you do not hear from me within the next 24 hours then I would like to say...

ご応募いただき本当にありがとうございました。お疲れさまでした。これに応募したあなたはきっと夢を実現する事が出来る。日本語勉強はあきらめないで、パッションをもって勉強し続けてください。応援しています。また今度の機会で。

And to the others who said "I wish I took Japanese" - if you really meant it then its not too late to start - this is how you can start too.

I will be posting further jobs in the News Items so you may want to keep up by RSS subscribing to them.

Now on to the ecchi stuff - there is quite a bit in here so wont be going through all of it. If you have a question about a particular item then shout out in the comments.
Needless to say that the rest of this article is NSFW - turn back if you are not into ecchi stuff.

When I first visited Akihabara many moons ago, they didn't really have stuff like this - I was mainly after the games, gadgets and idol photo books and VHS tapes back then.

When you visit Akiba, do you pick up any ecchi stuff - doujin, eroge, AV DVD, Tenga etc? Do you have trouble getting them back to your region or do you have ninja skills to conceal them well in your baggage?

And for those who will be visiting Akiba, will you be picking up ecchi goodies?

All of these goodies can be found at Asobit Game.

    Akiba is always a stop. Shopping too for new art books and DVDs. Too bad the best studios dont make All-region DVDs. = ( . Last time I went to Akiba was on a Sunday, and they closed down traffic for the day. Do they always do that? I also remember aspiring idols and maids, and maids and more maids.
    I remember walking more up and down than to and fro. I miss Tokyo so much. I love these kind of posts, makes me feel like I am back there again.
    I like the food posts too, wheres a good mexican joint in Tokyo? I only remember one that was awesome and it was in Hiroo/Ebisu. New article idea Mr.Choo? Tokyo international food places?

    Danny, is it still too late to apply for the translating position?
    To me it looks like easy work, and I have had experience translating the 12 Kindoms novels into English and have JLPT level 1 certification.

    Can you please give me the okay to still try to apply?

    I would definitely buy that stuff when I get there. Hey man its part of the Akihabara experience, in fact I believe its wrong if you don't. Although I must admit, I dread the security check part when I head back into the states.....oh the looks....

    Oh Danny My only question is in this Image (I am sure you know my question):

      you should try a store called mandarake they basically sell everything new and old posters included if you stay in their store too long they will probably put a price tag on you

      I picked up lots of small giveaway posters in Akiba itself, they were mainly advertisments for games, figures and 2D healthcare material, but the artwork is wonderous.

    This caught my eye beyond everything else, Love Selection by Kisaragi Gunma manga being made into Anime! First I've heard of it, but I want!

    I was last in Akiba in Dec 2003/Jan 2004ish, so it wasn't nearly as filled with ecchi merchandise as it is now back then. Did most of my shopping at random scattered Animate stores throughout Tokyo

    When I was in Japan, the only ero stuff I got was doujin and some magazines.
    Not because I was embarassed or something, mainly because I didn't knew much of the H universe. :P

    If I went there today, I'd prolly buy tenga, dakimakuras, more doujin (though this time I'd buy specific authors, not only pick random stuff), and whatever more I've been dreaming of, downloading and bookmarking. :P

    When I was in Japan the only anime stuff I was prepared to buy was Artbooks... and I didn't find some of them. Out of stock or rare stuff. Still, spent too much money on it.

    I'd probably had to be filthy rich to buy everything I wanted now...

    I'm kinda sad for not knowing japanese to work for Danny, but on the other hand, I'm kinda glad I didn't knew japanese when I was in Japan. The amount of eroge and other stuff I would have wanted to buy if I knew japanese... overwhelming.

      Yeah, are you just stealthy with a camera or did they actually let you take those pics in the store? I was there yesterday, but didn't want to cause any scenes, so I just snapped a quick pic inside an elevator when nobody was looking (aside from the darn security camera).

    Not sure if I'm brave enough to actually bring back stuff, but I'll sure as hell will have more than one look at what's for sale. You should really post some lines around each pic, Danny, don't really know what they all are. Like that one with Erika on the front, is that a mag, an artbook, or something else? Really nice pics anyways

    I picked up quite a few ecchi things on my trips there.
    Last time (as we were stopping in ikebukero) we were in anime shops every day on the way to the station, so i brough 3 or 4 thick hentai comics. On a previous trip, i went nuts in Lammtarra and brought 4 very nice, glossy hardback nudey 3d photo books!

    Its always a tense situation getting your suitcase examined at the airport when you have some pr0n in it! I usually put it all in a plastic bag mixed in with non-pr0n, then tape the top shut. It makes it tidier and more secure to transport, and airport staff simply wont have the time to bother opening the bag :-)

      By the way, what the HELL is that bag of tentacles with the pic of the girl sucking on one? Some sort of snack? A figure prop?

      Either way, they dont look very appetising.

    it would be nice to browse thru the echhi stuff but i would buy them only if i planned to stay back in Japan forever. muhaha. then no worries of getting checked at customs, only worry would be to restock my wallet ;) but most prolly i would be spending most on figures and manga.

        Ooooh, Toranoana basement... great material down there, great indeed. I went there in August 2007, I bought like 10 thick hentai mangas hehe, they even gave me a signed illustration and ecchi postcards!
        Megastore and Tenma Comics are great.
        And its just like you said, there are samples of the best selling ones but not from all of them.
        By the way, instead of bringing the manga or whatever inside your luggage; you can always send it by EMS (that's what I did).

    btw, any fellow Singaporeans ever tried bringing these stuff back before? i'm travelling with family so if customs are going to ransack my luggage if they spot anything round (disc-like), i better not risk it.
