Posted by atomicboyx On 0 comments

I headed over to Tokyo Dome City to stroll around on a lazy sunday and of course, i had to stop in the game center! I have an addiction to feed right? So i looked around for figures, i didnt want to get any plush toys, and i dont like One Piece, which is what is in most of the UFO catchers. Finally i see the cute pink Pretty Cure figure, and the machine is only 100yen. I stick the coin in and in one try i knock the figure over and GET! Even though this is for a childrens show, the quality and weight of the figure is really good.

My boyfriend and I are looking for a new place to live together. While out in one of the potential areas, we went in to a store called OLYMPIC.

Maybe they are trying to make sure otaku stay hygenic and get them to buy this and keep clean cut. What do you think, would your otaku-ness urge you to pick it up?

Posted by atomicboyx On 1 comments

Watermelon is very popular in Japan as it is in America during the hot summer days. This year comes the realease of Watermelon flavored soda. Suika スイカ is the Japanese word for watermelon, but this soda really isnt watermelon flavored... I guess you can say its the synthetic ideal taste watermelon should have. Overall it wasnt bad, if you have a chance go pick it up and try.

Last sunday afternoon i went to Burger King in Shinjuku with my boyfriend, and as the people behind us were getting up to leave i saw the guy was wearing a Dade County 4-H club tshirt! Dade county is the main county in Miami, Florida which is my hometown! It was cute to see someone wearing that in Tokyo, i wonder where he got it at?
