R2 JPEG Orgy: Sweeter Than a Sack of Candy.

Yeah I did ask the Yurikamome staff at Kokusaitenjijou Seimon today, what's wrong with it - they just took it, fixed it and it works now. Did work most of the day, only once when I accidentatily entered a Yurikamome stop when I should have gone to Yamanote and tried to exit the station right on spot it had the same problem, but the staff just had to cancel my entry to make it work again.
Also on a random silly sidenote I think Pasmo looks quite nice (everytime I hear people saying Suica looks so much better, but the pink/silver design of the card is quite neat)

Today Akiba wasn't naturally as filled as the other day - animate had both the KEROQ and minori booth and it wasn't crowded at all when I entered (didn't find the minori T-shirts though but didn't want to spend that much prior Comike anyways). Only long lines I noticed today were in front of Royal Host (probably due to the WORKING! menu/coasters) and Gundam Cafe (I can't imagine it's convenient if you sit inside the cafe's shop window, try to enjoy your drink and people lining up outside looking at you with that "just eat/drink up and leave" impression on their faces).

Oh and the NTV Tower at Shiodome currently has a pretty cool festival running - got UCC Coffee with Asuka and Mari figures for about 600 Yen per package at the EVA store there (plus the Miyazaki designed clock looks impressive!).
Japan is awesome - back at the hotel NHK BS2 broadcasts a Ginga Tetsudou 999 marathon where they also had interviews and they are really airing the Planetarium specials as well O_o too bad I returned far too late to tune in.

Edit: Oh an Skywise, did you get your Navel iPhone Case today?

[Skywise]

Got the case and an iPod Touch. The sizes don't quite match, but I'll just stick on some double sided tape as a buffer.

Speaking of Suica and Pasmo, in Shin Shinjuku-eki Kikakuka Alps Hiroba, which is a comedy manga about staffers of New Shinjuku Station, the stationmaster is modelled upon the penguin of Suica, which was designed by Sakazaki Chiharu.

Picked up volume 5 BD of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu today. Only one more volume to get before I complete the 1st season and then wait for the OVA and 2nd season.

Comike stuff, I was beyond unprepared this year, so I ended up spending way too much in the corporate booths and not really getting quite as awesome a combination of other stuff as I wanted, but ho-hum:

Some SFW doujinshi (the bread one is particularly cool, introduces a few Tokyo bakeries interspersed with some nice artwork)

Paper fans that were being handed out

Some postcards, a Bungaku Shojo bookmark that came with the doujinshi in the first pic, and a random official card-thing with Amagami's Kaoru on

Couple of non-C78 games I picked up, as well as Umineko chapter 7, and an Umineko image song CD (which I at least partially bought for the amazing Bernkastel/Lambda cover art)

A non-C78 DenYuuDen drama CD, and the rest of the stuff is goods from a Mahoutsukai no Hako (Type-Moon's official mobile site) character goods box

Some goods for August's upcoming game, Aiyoku no Eustia

Pic 2

Random crap that was being handed out

Some more SFW doujinshi

And some official art books (Pixiv's Key book is very nice), and a really nice CD collection that Toranoana was selling

Another Pixiv book, a Tsukihime art book with a few awesome artists contributing, and a Bakemonogatari doujinshi

The other item I bought from Type-Moon's booth (I didn't bother with the telephone cards), a pair of Mahoutsukai no Yoru posters

And the box they came in

More random crap

And virtually the only official DRRR!! stuff I could find, a "Summer Fun" goods pack

T-shirts (Index, HSotD, OreImo, S;G) the OreImo one is way too small for me, but I couldn't not buy it:

And some of the paper bags that stuff came in (Mahoutsukai no Yoru, Pixiv, Tony, S;G):

Some non-C78 books; Shiki novels and manga

And light novels (mainly DenYuuDen)

This is a short story series for DenYuuDen, given away in parts exclusively at Animate when you bought any DenYuuDen book. So they effectively forced me to buy stuff so I could get all six.

There are a couple of other (censored) pics on my Flickr, but I won't post them up.

After leaving most of these stuff in storage in Japan for about 2 months. I finally got them delivered today. Warning in advance that the photo sizes are huge since I took them at the highest resolution on my digital camera.

Beautiful pics, dude. The Awa Odori posters... outstanding.

[littleharlock]

ufotable Awa Odori posters.. all of them on top! O_o Guess I don't want to know how much you had to drop for them ^O^ (here's just glad that I managed to get a look and shot at them during my Nakano ufotable cafe visit *too bad they didn't sell the Awa Odori goods *Uchiwa* by then*). Thanks for granting us a look at them!
