I am a Digimon fan, mainly of Digimon Adventures and Tamers. Lost track after Frontier lost my interest and hadn't really kept up. Since I didn't make it to Odaiba for the Digimon fest. I ended up spending most of Saturday running in and out Odaiba for the Dolliehmon shoot(scroll middle) and Tokyo bay hanabi. This was said to be the last one held ( Read more... )

After visiting Parabox and Mandarake at Nakano. I finally head over to Asagaya. When I was doing research for this trip, I came across something known Asagaya anime street. Supposedly a collection of anime stores in a stretch that can be found near the train station.

On the hottest day of my trip, I get the intense feeling that I should skipped Kamakura-Enoshima and see if I can slot this in for my next trip. The only thing I shot was the real life location for Slamdunk's opening before taking the train back. The crossing is just next to Kamakura kōkōmae Station. Oh and if you surf, the beach across the road ( Read more... )

Long story short, think of my various shrines ( Read more... )

Ride the Toneri Liner, ride the tram, ride the train, ride the bus and go pretty much anywhere on the route. From Nippori to Oji, Oji to Sugamo, Sugamo to 'I have no idea where this is'(Heart Island Higashi) to 'Oh hey I'll take that bus stop across the road that leads to Ikebukuro'(Toshima Danchi looks very HDB neighbourhoodish...) And somehow ( Read more... )

I just had to go Akibahara(two days, first one is a look see). I mean seven years on, my doll population have stabilized. What could go wrong ( Read more... )

I am exhuasted after four intense days. All grand plans of heading down to Tsujiki market for breakfast every morning was shelved. Ikebokuro I practically skipped even though I wanted to visit Dollyteria to pick up some stuff. And thus began the "Reshuffle the trip" Day

First off I just want to say that my vertical stamina has not been good after getting hit by two separate bouts of pneumonia. Within ten minutes of attempting to walk up a paved route that has a _continuous_ 20-30 degrees(Correct if I'm wrong about the incline) upslope, I know I'm not used to said strain on my heart and went back down to the base ( Read more... )
