Kashihonya still exist!
And here I thought these were all gone! This one is in Kunitachi way out on the Chuo Line. Still in business, even with all the online works, manga kissa and tachiyomi in convenience stores. Thanks to J Mark Lytle Hiratsuka for the picture.

Eva 3D shirt
Just in time for the new Eva movie, what was sold to me as a "3D shirt" and is surely the most obnoxious thing I have ever seen. Unit 01 is busting out of the wearer's chest like a fraggin' alien spawn. I was actually considering wearing this to the opening, but think it might be too much of a nuisance...

Tokyo CGM Night becomes cosplay party!
The fifth installment of Danny Choo's bloggers meetup, Tokyo CGM Night, was held Monday night and populated by some faces very familiar in Akihabara. Akiba TV and Asahina Marin (dressed as Ayanami Rei) were there, and they brought a group of otagei dancers to promote a new DVD. Also in attendance was Chazuke from Newtype and one of Akiba's leading joso cosplayers. Cutie Pai, including Akiba subculture photographer Julie Watai, were also there. To top it off, two girls were cosplaying as characters from "Valkyrie Complex" to promote the game. Otaku2 attended for the first time, and it was surely the right time to do it!
