一週間の東京 7

that burger... down there... what kind of burger is that...? and those bikes... no one uses a lock?

i get rid of most and keep some mags that are worth keeping ^^

it looks like you've got a less stressful week ^^

now why would McDo place such terminals when almost everyone has mobile phones O.o

Danny, does Book Off also buys those old free magazines that you got? XP

You must have some adventures over at Tokyo, Danny!

I have really old videogames magazines from like 2004/2005. I was looking through them and found one that mentioned the Wii for the first time!

Great pictures by the way, and now I'm hungry...

"Is Tokyo the only city where mags full of cute girls are handed out for free?"

Yes, Yes it is.
I am sooo moving to Tokyo

thats a really nice burger...
try dunking it in the curry next time!

I want to see Tokyo and the rest of Japan too, but it´s too damn expensive.. :/

I'm completly keen of "Week in Tokyo" series.
Please Danny, keep on writing. It's so a pleasure to read.
Cheers.

I tried to keep all of my magazines, since I'll probably need them for cut outs for some of my projects. If I'm starting to run out of space, then I'll sort them and throw away the not-so interesting ones ^^;

I heard it's true that Japan is one of the most money-spent country to go to for holiday...is it? ^^;

Heard it from my cousin who's been there before.

We just take mags for recycling when they start to stack, no biggie. No wonder that TiaraGirl mag is free; it's from Dec'07!

Never tried those ginsing stamina drinks, but I do down a Tab energy drink now and then to wake me up. Guy on the poster looks like he's had one too many.

That bacon burger looks okay, but they sure to skimp on fries there. What's that like 10 sticks?

Hey Danny,
Speaking of the Ipod Touch. Could you please make is so that your wallpaper tool is compatible! It says that the with needs to be greater than the height, but that's not the case with the Ipod Touch.

I thought it was called the Devil Bringer in DMC4.

McDonalds for breakfast tsk tsk. That's got to be worse for you than drinking too many of those stamina drinks.

i keep all my mags i just can't get rid of them
ohh a lot of memories....
Hey Danny sama Which console do you prefer the XBOX360 Or The PS3?
Please answer¡¡¡¡

Glad to see the less hectic side of our hero's adventurous life in this post.

"Is Tokyo the only city where mags full of cute girls are handed out for free?"

Oh, definitely. Can't wait to get my share of them. Tokyo! I'll come for you one day!

I've always wondered what does danny look like? and is he ever in any of his pictures? also anyone have any tips for finding a hot otaku to be my boyfriend?

mags of cuties is tokyo, mags of sexies in Las Vegas. Mags of... wow, kazakhstan.

Lol, I guess a doctor and manga artist have radically different drawing styles... It be easy for a manga artist to change jobs to a doc, but not for a doc to change into a manga artist?

Whoa, they actually close streets just to let the people do their grocery shopping?! That's pretty nifty. I learn something new everyday. =D

As always another great week in Tokyo, keep on writing the series :D

once again love your week in tokyo^_^

I don't get enough magazines to worry about space consumption. I only get Newtype and Game Informer for the most part, I pick out a Robot Magazine randomly every season as well. If these topics were more mainstream and had a greater following than they do here in the states then I may consider getting rid of a few old mags, after I carefully extract vital "information" from them worth saving, that is. I think the only magazine I have ever done that with is the codebook magazine, or something like that, I cut out its armored core III section which contained AC designs and tourney info. I still use it from time to time on AC4 and, aside from some of the vastly different parts, it has been rather useful.
I think I would be overwhelmed by the amount of magazines available in Japan for just about any subject...

~Krim

I love these articles...I'm seeing the _real_ city instead of the Hollywood version.

I'm actually getting rid of my old magazines right now. I clean up a little bit everyday..since there's just too much...well, I get them for free so.. they tend to pile up ^^;

Nice work Danny, love seeing the real Tokyo :D

Love the bike Danny, i can see me getting one of them.

I like your lifestyle Danny!

very interesting week indeed. Looks fun . I wanna go to japan! =(

Nice bike you have there, though I don't really like foldable bikes. Always thinking one day while riding it, it'll just "fold" up and clamp areas which is so precious to you lol.

Have you tried one of those stamina drinks? I wonder how it taste. Had missed the opportunity the last time, maybe on the next I'll give it a go.

As for magazines, my collection still isn't much. my MEGAMI only dates back to Dec 2003 and Dengeki Hime dates back to Nov 2007 (I blame your post on the magazine ^^). Am still keeping them all, and no intention to sell/give them away.

You lie! Your bike can fit in your trouser pocket?! I need proof!

Anyway, what happens if you're in Akihabara and you shout "I want some okazu"? Have you tried that before Danny?

Oh and I remembered you writing about your wife riding her bike from the station and got back safely without the use of a map, maybe that's the cause of youu Deja vu?

"The yummy Miho Tanaka"

Much agreed.

While walking down the narrow sidewalk, most of time I had to wince in fear whenever I hear chime from passing bicycle in Japan -_- So many people ride bicycle in Japan and it amazes me how well they can manuever between people on the street.

I keep most of my old magazines under my bed and closet but I should get rid of them since they take up too much spaces and I don't really read them anymore -_-

Hooray for back problems. I'm off to the chiropractor tomorrow after taking a full 40-50kg in the upper neck. Probably serves me right for putting someone on my shoulders during a concert and annoying the folks behind... it was, however her fault for overbalancing forward. No where near as serious as a slipped disk however.

As for mags: I keep them all, but not all out on the shelf. Usually keep about 12 months worth of EVO, Per Sempre Alfa and Classic and Sports Car out. 6 months worth of BPN and infolink (both free architectural mags) and all copies of Sanctuary (as it only comes out twice a year).

fauna is everywhere in your house danny, did she like the curry? ^^;

I was digging through old magazines just the other day at teh warehouse... its sort of like traveling back in time (for example, paging through old magazines filled with that pink haired girl from Macross 7... Mylene Jenius, that's it. VA was Sakurai Tomo, one of her first big rolls i think.)

So, um, yeah. I don't throw anything away. Having a warehouse is bad if you have this kinda habit.

this post reminds me that I have to tidy up and throw away my old mags. lol. anyway hope your back feels better soon Danny,also, hope the rehab goes well

Thanks Danny for reminding me that I need to go through the old mags from last year and do some recycling. What a pain. Maybe I'll toss them up on Craigslist to see if I can sell some of them instead.

that curry looks damn spicy lol..
regarding the 无料 magazine.. it's really a very good experience to be handed over for free lol..

There is something to be said of the charm of the open market like that. The only things really close to me are chain super markets.

A word on energy drinks... yummie! However, I seriously jacked up my plumbing when going through 3 or 4 a day for a couple of months. A slow start but I am learning the hard way the long term side affects of an unbalanced lifestyle! ^_^

DMC4 looks sweet, but I don't have a PS3 to play it on lol. Wish I did have one though, but I don't know if I should be playing with all the school work I've been given ;p.

Later, I buy lots of mag, most of games, but these days, I prefer the net. the most magazines I have are for figures( Figure Maniacs and other), and the only way I get to get it is import, so I never get rid of them!!

I need a PS3, playing DMC4 on XBOX 360 sure isn`t the same for the controller

Danny, for a smaller bike look for the a-bike, I´m planning on getting one.

I think riding my bicycle through Tokyo would be quite an experience, I need to remember to do that if I come to Tokyo in the future!

Love how they close the roads for people doing their shopping at small stores.

I just threw out a bunch of old mags today, I keep some and put them into cardboard boxes in the basement ^^"
I usually keep mags if I got lots of them like the N-Zone (Nintendo Mag) and I throw out mags which I bought only once, works best for me.

Holly Cow! It the apocalypse and all the people of Tokyo are gone! ^^; There really is times when you see no people out and about in Tokyo? Sunday Mornings must be really tranquil.

Darn it Danny, I always get hungry when I read this series! ^o^

I'm feeling Deja Vu as well. ^^ Wait, I think Roy (http://blog.q-taro.com/) own a bike like this one... I need to get bikes for myself and Yukari. It has been so long since I had a bike.

The closed street with all the shops looks great! Lots of nice photo opportunities and just a pleasant shopping experience. I can't wait to be living in Japan! Day to day activities can be so much more enjoyable. It will make me so happy to not need to drive everywhere.

Everything is lighter than a MacBook Pro... ^^; Just joking... Soon you will be able to get yourself a MacBook Air.

I do almost the same with my mags. Take out what I want and scan the pages. I could use a new scanner. Most Japanese mags are larger format, how do you scan yours Danny? Maybe in sections and then stitch together in Acrobat or such. When I'm done I usually just trash what remains. No recycling mags here like in Florida.

Hope rehab is going well...

What's up Danny? Since you are on the subject. How do you keep your magazines? For me, I rip the page of the ads and articles from the magazine that I want to keep. This way I don't have to keep the whole magazine. When I have time, I will scan all the pages into the hard drive. I always try to find the picture that I see in the magazine on the web. The reason is the digital pictures always look better than the scan pictures. Do you agree?

oh cool, thats nice of windbell to bring curry over. curry has to eaten spicy to be good ^^

What's the usual format for phone numbers nowadays anyway? Around here our phone numbers are 7digits long.

I love DMC4. Nero really brings quite a few good changes to the series...although I do miss playing around with Dante more. But recently I've been stuck playing CoD4's multiplayer. heheh

Matsumoto: Curry isn't curry if it's not spicy!
Yours look nice and hot ^^

Well, I probably only keep the poster came with the magazine and some nice picture from it. The rest going for recycle. I hate to say this, the longer i kept. i can see some transparent worms lurking around. YIKES!!! O_O;

Q: "Is Tokyo the only city where mags full of cute girls are handed out for free?"

A: Quite possibly the only place on Earth, yes.

LOL, you must remember being in UK, you'd have to have a sneaky peak at the top shelf if you wanted to look at any 'harmless' Idols. I need to get to Japan ;-)

heh.. i'll be in tokyo on the last week of March. ^^

Danny-san, is there anything u want? i.e.

Yay ^^ I'll be in Tokyo on the last week of March...

Wonder if I'll see Danny-san somewhere in Akiba. Btw, is there anything you want? (i.e. since Windbell has already brought you some curry...)

Won't have much spending money.. gotta ration...

その自転車に物凄い興味があります。
どこで買ったか教えていただけないでしょうか?

Hi Danny, hi everyone !

About those foldable bikes, are they really easier to ride than usual bikes ? My girlfriend cannot ride bikes and I would like to teach her.
Everytime we go cycling, we need a double bike... It is nice but I'd like to have a proper single bike: more freedom of movement.

Any advise to teach how to cycle ?

Dedale,
I wouldn't have been able to learn without a smaller bike.

atw80さん、
これです。

でも11キロと表記していますが、確かに3キロとどこかで書いてあるし、とても歩軽く感じます。

yanggie,
save your cash for akiba ^^;

Locksley,
I remember it well ^^;

Bele,
Its 10 including the area code.

wanderingdjさん、
詳しい情報をありがとうございました！

Red October,
Agree.

Gordon,
She loved it ^^;

FatB,
I was disappointed too.

Henry,
Yep.

ケヴィン,
Cant remember ^^;

Did I hear you correctly?

A folding bike for $200 dollars and it weighs only 3 kilograms?

Hello, I want to buy one too. What's the name and model number and where can I get one in Japan!!!!

The poster with the guy and the energy drink made me laugh. It's really like he's ready to rise and shine even if he has a "just woke up" haircut.

Why don't you keep those mags and sell them individually to us members? $_$

Finally, hope your back will get even better soon.

wow danny you sure have a busy day and man that is a lot of eating out! I don't know if i could handle that much but man the food looks great.

That bicycle looks really cool! I've never really seen a fold-up bicycle, is it difficult to work? Oooh, McDonald's breakfast... now I'm sort of craving for pancakes + maple syrup. =)

if there is cute 2D girl in it i would keep it or if there is video game info or anime info i want i would keep it too ^^

*needs to learn how to ride a bike* >.<

I mostly like beef, pork, and chicken. Nothing else.

I usually keep my magazines in a box piled at the foot of my bed. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to bring them all with me overseas. That might be the only reason to have homesickness while I am away. xD
