Obligé, cass’dedi

Sérieusement, voir toutes les ‘stars’ de mon enfance partir les unes après les autres, ça me fait vraiment me sentir vieux et me rappelle que mon tour viendra.

Le pire, c’est quand j’entends des jeunes dirent “c’était qui ça ? lol”, là je prend un horrible coup de vieux…

RIP Arnold

Hina-tan, Nagi-tan & Azu-tan

Blogged by on Tuesday May 25th, 2010 at 8:34 pm in English, Otakouille, Zics du moment | 10 Comments »

Zic(s) du moment :
ONE OK ROCK – Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer

When people are addicted to gambling, they can ask to be banned from casinos, so they don’t get tempted. I think they should do the same for Akihabara… orz

Everything started fine though, with my weekly visit to Toranoana (get a point card there) for getting new releases.


– ‘Poor Poor’ vol. 1. 4koma, Binbou Shimai Monogatari + Hanamaru Youchien with less WIN but moar crazyness, moar service and deliciously yuri.
– ‘To Aru Majutsu no Index’ vol.6, I never bought any of the previous volume, but doesn’t really matter since this book is all about the Last Order-chan arc, with Accelerator as the main character. Anyway, bought it mostly for the purpose of getting a whole full book of “Misaka wa Misaka wa” goodness.

Then, I had to buy something at Yodobashi Camera. Once what I needed in my hands, decided to kill time at the 6th floor, labeled as ‘Games & Toys’…

TERRIBLE MISTAKE !

Yodobashi Camera is a ‘family’ shop, but that’s still Akihabara. Means that they get an awesome collection of figurines, gunplas, and random goods. Then, as I was cutting through the trading cards corner (I don’t have a lot of interests in these cards), I came across the HAYATE NO GOTOKU CARDS WE SEE IN THE SECOND SEASON. :o


You know, these ones ^, drawn by top artists.
I remember when I saw these in the anime, I was ready to kill someone for a set of these cards.

So, there was 2 starter decks : Hinagiku (Hina-tan) and Nagi (-tan). Considering how much I wanted them before, and the fact that there was only one deck of Hina-tan left, it was “AUTOMATIC GETTO !!!” in my head. I hesitated a few seconds about the Nagi deck, and finally I just went “OH SHIT, GETTO T_T” with manly tears in my eyes as I grabbed a set, leaving regrets behind. orz


The Hina and Nagi decks once opened.
Gets 40 cards each.
Don’t really have to mention it, though you can’t really tell from these pics, but every single one of the cards is made of excellence and PURE WIN.

To my surprise, as you can see in the pics, there are only 15 different cards per deck, each one getting one or two extra copies. :o

Honestly I don’t care about playing the game, I just wanted the cards, so it was kind of a waste. Thankfully, my dear bros were interested in them so I could get rid of these extra cards while making two persons happy. Thanks again, bros !

Finally, before going home, paid a quick visit to the last place (?) indicated in my Akiba guide that I had yet to visit : the Tokyo Anime Center at the 4th floor of the Akihabara UDX building.

TERRIBLE MISTAKE !!

Actually, that’s some kind of strange place. It looks like some souvenir store of Akihabara aimed at (foreigner) tourists who actually doesn’t really give a crap about anime or doesn’t know much about it, and just want to bring back home some ‘anime-ish’ stuffs. So no ‘hardcore’ stuffs, mostly everything that is accepted by the ‘mass’ : One Piece, Evangelion, Doraemon, Gegege no Kitaro, and a bit of Gurren Lagann and Ghibli movies. But if you look carefully…


You can actually find a few goods about moe shows like Haruhi, Hayate and K-On!.
Ever since I arrived to Tokyo, I have always been searching some embarrassing made-in-japan otaku t-shirt (ita-shirt ?) to wear, I think I found it with that K-on t-shirt featuring one of the most huggable characters in anime history, Azunyan~
Added a Hinagiku glass, so I can drink her juice whenever I want~

lol Seriously, I should really stay away from Akihabara for a while… Not mentionning that this sunday, I’m going to my second event : PuniKet.

BTW, I got myself a paypal account, so if you want me to get something in Akihabara for you, just let me now.

I’m actually thinking about making a eBay page for selling stuffs, but I think that this site kind of sucks badly… You have to pay fees for posting offers and uploading pics. WTF ? I don’t get why people are using this site… Yahoo Auction is free, but all in japanese sadly enough. Doesn’t help to sell overseas.

Sanja Matsuri

Zic(s) du moment :
Fuyumi Sakamoto – Mata Kimi ni Koi shiteru

Je profite qu’il fasse encore un temps bien pourri aujourd’hui pour squatter le net et me débarasser de ma dernière fournée de tofs.

Ce week-end s’est déroulé dans mon quartier d’Asakusa l’un des trois plus important matsuri de Tokyo : le Sanja-Matsuri (三社祭). Forcement vu que j’habite Asakusa, je me suis tapé les trois jours ! XD

Bien sur, fidèle à moi-même, j’étais pas du tout au courant qu’un tel événement se préparait. XD

C’est donc par le bruit des tambours et le son de la flute que j’ai été tiré du lit ce vendredi matin et qui m’a attiré dehors en cette journée quasi estivale…

Happy New Nyaa~

Zic(s) du moment :
Kanae Ito & Yuka Iguchi & Ayana Taketatsu – Happy New Nyaa (Mayoi Neko Overrun OP)
Kanae Ito & Yuka Iguchi & Ayana Taketatsu – Icha Love Come Home (Mayoi Neko Overrun ED)

Last week, I went buying the latest volume of Otaku no Musume-san at Akiba’s Toranoana, when I also came across the first volume of Mayoi Neko Overrun’s manga version.

When I looked at the cover, I didn’t find anything special about it at first. But when rapidly checking inside the book, it made me remember that article on Sankaku saying that Yabuki-sensei was actually in charge of the manga adaptation. So, happy new nyaa action + Yabuki-sensei art = AUTOMATIC GETTO

I actually have yet to read it, but I took a few pics of the inside.

Re-Akiba avec quelques photos diverses (c’est que mine de rien j’ai déjà vu une grosse partie du quartier je pense), puis d’autres photos en vrac, sur Asakusa notamment.

Shinjuku City Hall Observatory

Petit post avec des ‘nouvelles’ tofs qui datent d’une dizaine de jours… la flemme de poster. :o

Donc y’a presque deux semaines je suis allé à l’observatoire de la mairie de Shinjuku, qui est plus haut que la tour de Tokyo et en plus c’est gratuit. :o


Retour rapide dans la ville du XYZ, dans laquelle je n’avais pas remis les pieds depuis mon 1er jour au japon.

Flying Kids – Boku de aru tame ni (Taiho Shichau zo OP1)

Dans un post précédent, j’avais raconté que j’avais tenté d’aller au parc Hamarikyuu-teien, au bord de la baie de Tokyo, mais que c’était fermé ce jour-là…

Donc lundi dernier comme il faisait beau j’ai retenté le coup.


Sur le chemin, un petit bar thailandais sous un pont.

Ueno-eki, Akihabara (2)

Blogged by on Monday May 10th, 2010 at 2:25 pm in A Dewley in 日本, Français, Life hates me, Otakouille, Photos | 6 Comments »

En fait avant la grosse fournée de lundi dernier, je me rend compte que j’ai quelques tofs en vrac de la journée de dimanche (le 9).

Le dimanche c’est simple, c’est la seule journée où je sais d’avance ce que je vais faire : le matin c’est nettoyage de la chambre, et l’après-midi c’est… AKIHABARA ! XD

Ce coup-ci j’ai décidé d’y aller à pied. C’est pas si loin que ça, même si à mon rythme ça prend bien une heure pour y aller. Donc une fois sur Asakusa-doori où se trouve la station Tawaramachi que je prend d’habitude, cap vers l’ouest jusqu’à la gare d’Ueno, d’où part en fait l’avenue Chuuou qui traverse Akiba au sud. :o


Niimi, un grand magasin où on y trouve “tous les ustensiles de cuisine du monde entier”.

Kanda (+ Ikebukuro)

Blogged by on Saturday May 8th, 2010 at 2:04 pm in A Dewley in 日本, Français, Photos | 1 Comment »

La semaine dernière (samedi 1er), j’avais dans l’idée d’aller trainer à Ikebukuro.

Pour m’y rendre, j’avais décidé de descendre à Suehirochou (ligne Ginza), et marcher jusqu’à la station Ochanomizu de la ligne Marunouchi, en me disant que ça me couterait peut-être moins cher et histoire de faire des découvertes sur le chemin (plus tard je me suis rendu compte que finalement c’était moins cher d’aller jusqu’à la station Ginza et prendre la correspondance directement orz).

Donc quelques tofs dans ce petit coin de Kanda où j’ai finallement un peu trainé, principalement des temples encore. XD


Un torii en haut d’un escalier entre deux batiments, cette fois-ci je suis monté sans hésiter ! XD

Dernier (?) random post avant les nouvelles fournées de tofs.

Dans la continuité du post ‘bilan’ que j’ai fait y’a quelque temps, je vais essayer de résumer en vrac ce qui est classe et ce qui ne l’est paaas~ selon moi au Japon. Avec aussi en omake quelques tofs au portable.
