The video recordings of my TV appearance last Friday are up and I've just added them to the otakurl section.

Part 1 - The first half is me.
Part 2 - The second half is me.

Folks who dont speak Japanese should get their booty along to DarkMirage's cool site where he has a full translation of my bits - thank you DM!
BTW, I dont know why the producer kept calling me "god" @.@

The photos I took from the plasma are lousy compared to the pics that Roy took on his huge full HD TV - check out his photos.

We took much more footage and didnt get to cram it all in so you may get to see the rest some other time ^^

OK, the producer is having a laugh here as he plasters on the screen "Otaku overseas call him a god."
Huh?!
I would only consider myself a god if I find a Death Note lying around ^^;

image ID#4822

Had to make sure we fitted in a word about Azamiyuko Sensei.

If your link is in the right column then your site was on Japanese TV again (kind of) as my page scrolled up.
The last time your site was on TV was back in October.

This was a short Akiba report covering a few of my fave shops. First off is Kotobukiya - figure heaven.

image ID#4825

Babbling on about Mikuru-chan.

image ID#4826

I mentioned previously that the sponge fell out of the helmet and was worried that the neck area looked odd but it didnt look that bad.

image ID#4827

Babbling on about Fix Figuration.

image ID#4828

Talking about Shunya Yamashita-sans Mirei. Me want that figure now.

image ID#4829

As always, I make sure I stop for folks who want to take pictures. Always check to see that there are no police before I whip out the blaster though ^^;

image ID#4830

Part 2 starts like this.

image ID#4831

Met two girls in Asobit and forced them to take us with them to a maid cafe that they were going to ^^;

image ID#4832

On the way to the maid cafe.

image ID#4833

Being a typical maid cafe, they do the traditional "X" sign with their arms and tell us "NOOOOO!"

image ID#4834

Babbling on about Code Geass in Lammtarra.

image ID#4835

In Asobit looking at the Gundam goodies. BTW, a GFF review coming soon.

image ID#4836

And thats it for now - until the next time. More TV shenanigans later this year ^o^/

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.

Heh heh. I liked it. I don't know where the producer got where we call you god. But I laughed when I found that out.

Nice videos (I could recognize Houki Boshi, song from Younha -Bleach-).

At first, viewers could believe that you were putting your hand in front of the helmet because you would be thinking at that moment...

Your parts were rather short (especially for part 2), but it's nice you put the whole stuff. I learned a few things along the way. Screen-interaction features are really neat!

Maybe he called you a god, because "Otaku Lord" was not enough?
But still, I believe you got a strong fanbase now... Or would you deny that fact?

You were in Lammtarra looking at ANIME? I highly dbout that! Once the cameras were off, you were prancing up and down the 'idol' aisles screaming 'MoooeeeEEeeehhh!'
I wish you couldve captured the moment when your imperial mightiness was refused by the maids in the cafe! I love that Ultra-man/ Kamen rider esque 'X' symbol!

Congrats for being on telly again. The trooper cozzie doesnt look too bad by the way. I wouldntve noticed about the neck thing.

Really looking forward to going to Kotobukiya. If only they had a time machine service so they could get Mirei early!

MonkeyKombat,

Danny's site is a guide to Tokyo, but as for Osaka, you want Minami-ku. You can use it as a hub for your travels about the city for food, entertainment and things otaku.

Nippombashi is Osaka's Akiba. That is where you will find a lot of otaku shops. Look for a copy of Otu or Otaku Map - sorry I can't remember or find one now - it show you where everything is in Nippombashi.

There are so many great shops to visit it's hard to list everything. Most of all make sure you visit "Osaka Gundam's". It's nothing but Gundam! You can miss it, the just look for massive Gundam mural on the building. I can and do - much to my fiancee's disappointment - spend hours in this shop.
