Akiba Cat Swarm

Akiba Cat Swarm - Cats perch atop Akiba signboard

Pilgrims to Akihabara are delighted by the fact that curious sign board sleeping cat, of no small fame, has suddenly gained comrades, now bringing the number of perching neko to three. Swarms of onlookers have increased correspondingly, now forming a considerable throng.

Just what is it they find so appealing about sleeping in such a spot?

Idols on Sale – $100 a Kiss

Inran

Idols, particularly those of an aspiring or hard up bent, are not exactly known for their reticence in ensuring their paying customers get due incentive to keep paying; so it is with little surprise that we read of idols virtually prostituting themselves for a song…

The Refreshing Taste of School Mizugi

Japanese girls tastefully sporting uniform issue school swimsuits, school mizugi or sukumizu, chiefly in a wide range of navy blue and black. Some of them are wet and shiny. It might be a stretch to call many of them actual schoolgirls. 日本人のスクール水着・スク水を着ておる美少女画像ギャラリー。濡れておるのもおります。

Unfortunately, not the pool water squeezed from delicious schoolgirl swimwear, but a close second (?): two new drinks promise to capture the taste of Akiba, with one being the maid themed “Pure Akiba Style Beer” (actually not beer) and the other “The Refreshing Taste of Akiba: Sukumizu” (flavour: “Everlasting Summer”, that is, pineapple flavour). All very Akiba so far.

Thighs of Fuuka Provoke Sellout

The latest edition of 新生電撃大王 / Shinsei Dengeki Daioh magazine has apparently provoked something of an availability crisis with the prominently displayed thighs of Fuuka – the shelves are as bare as her fine thighs, and a restock is apparently in order.

The latest edition of 新生電撃大王 / Shinsei Dengeki Daioh magazine has apparently provoked something of an availability crisis with the prominently displayed thighs of Fuuka – the shelves are as bare as her fine thighs, and a restock is apparently in order.

Of course, we might also be led to think less charitably that it was the enormous thickness of the tome, or it being packed with such notable artists as Naruko Hanaharu, rather than the presence of such a notable Yotsuba&! character which prompted the brisk sales… Via AkibaBlog.

Akiba Cops Catch & Release Knife Wielder

Akiba knife wielding man harassed by police

Police in Akiba swooped upon another man wielding a knife in Akiba, but the knife in question was a small penknife, the man absolutely innocent, and the police unable to arrest the man, as they clearly hankered to do, as the blade was under the 5cm in length permitted to be carried by Japanese law.

Virgin Stabber’s Boasts of Member Troubles

Akihabara stabber Tomohiro Kato’s arrest

“I’m boasting, but I’m a virgin, small, and have phimosis (and full phimosis at that)”. The ongoing efforts of the media to pin the blame for Akiba stabber Tomohiro Kato’s rampage on his otaku interests, as well as the efforts of 2ch to pin the blame on Toyota’s temp downsizing, have both taken a blow with the revelations about the man’s character emerging from a detailed dissection of the thousands of posts he made to various sites over the past year. They depict rather strongly a man obssessed with his own isolation and sexual insecurity.
