I Miss Japan #001

I really miss Japan. I'm looking back through photos I took in and around Tokyo last year and uploading a few of those that didn't make it first time round.

#001 - Super Potato (スーパーポテト), Akihabara, Tokyo
Akihabara is known as the Electric Town (it even says that on the underground signs). Super Potato is a multi-storey retro video games store that sells stacks and stacks of old games. A treasure trove for any video game fan. See the little speakers in the open window? They were blasting out awesome retro chiptunes for all the passing Otaku below to hear.

UAMOU HAS LANDED (Pearl Black Blue Eyes)

Uamou comes from another planet. Or Japan. Crafted by Ayako Takagi, Uamou takes vinyl form in many different colours and usually one shape. This is the first Uamou to join my toy army and I hope it isn't the last.
