Akiba Report 2
Here is the second part of my Akiba 'report' broadcasted last Friday night on Tokyo MX TV. Uploaded to YouTube for you to take a look at while you take a poo or something. I say that because I noticed some employees at Microsoft taking their laptops into the toilet. They could just be taking a poo between meetings but what I bet they are really up to is...
Infront of a vending machine that contains my fave Japanese drink - Calpis water. Renamed 'Calpico' in the west because 'Calpis' sounded too much like 'Cow Piss'.
BTW, my report starts 5 mins into that YouTube clip.
Get your Idol DVDs at Lammtarra when you are in town.
Toranoana is a place where you can all your anime, ero, doujin and other stuff to keep you company on those lonely nights.
After seeing myself on TV for a while, I am determined to get rid of the "ehtooo, ahno" - the equivalent in English being "ummmmm, ermmmmm". I know I have that bad habit in English too. I'm not usually like that and only become the "erm-man" infront of the camera ^^;
Walking around Toranoana. If you came here you would probably use up all your money. Saw a really nice image book of Louise from Zero no Tsukaima. BTW, anybody getting #''#B000JF0XDA,ゼロの使い魔ルイズ,this figure of Louise?#''#
This is the Maid Footcare place that I talked about previously.
Being 'welcomed home' by the maids.
Getting the hand care treatment.
Getting some grub and rest at one of those Starbucks look alike cafes.
For those who dont know, after Starbucks set up in Japan, many others jumped on the bandwagon and set up cafes which looked exactly like Starbucks - even the logo was similar.
To be continued?! Well yes - more shooting at Nakano Broadway this week.
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.

I don't touch Starbucks and I'm in the states. It's overpriced for weak coffee.

Laptops in the toilet? Either Microsoft has a lot of dedicated workers or there's some great wifi coverage there.

Looking forward to the next installment. I've started doing that ehtooo bit too, as well as sooo desu. Ugh, I can't stop!
Calpis is one of my favorites too...
Like the part with you in the coffee shop. I should own stock in Starbucks. I feel like I'm always in their shops. ^^;
I'm afraid to go near a Toranoana shop just for that reason. ^^; I think I'm safe for now, most of their shops are around the Tokyo area. Then again, I believe I seen their ad for Osaka area. Oooh all hope is lost now. ^o^
I have not seen that Louise figure offered at shops that ship outside of Japan. Maybe it will appear when it comes out this month.

That was pretty short compared to the first one. Also Toronoana is one of the best places to goto in Akihabara. What even more awesome is that there are 3 shops. However my friends and I could never find the 2nd shop.
Also I have that Louise on preorder. It's more of a matter of having the money to pay for it, lol.

Drink coffee is much better than drink those red bull stuff. I would probably drink starbucks coffee if they opened one near my house, until then I'll continue to prepare my own coffee

Oh by the way, there are a couple of Starbucks in Paris, France... Implemented in the touristic parts of the city.
I guess they are quite popular (with youths being the majority probably), but since people are used to the usualcoffee/cappuccino, it hasn't spread as much as the McDos.

No Starbucks in Finland, though we do have "Robert's coffee". Which is quite similar to Starbucks I guess (, but Finnish). Robertscoffee.com
When I was Japan I went to Tulley's coffee or something. The logo was pretty much alike with Starbucks if I remember right. Sigh.. never got to visit the maid cafe's.
