As I reported, two blond girls, who showed up on the 29th, again came to Akihabara on the 30th. They wore costumes of Sailormoon, and when I saw them, cameras surrounded them. They were walking on a vehicle-free street while been taken pictures. When they got to an open space near the Akihabara Station, regular low anglers took pictures from low angle.

I have reported on March 16th (Sunday), "Feel Like Relaxing Restrictions on a Vehicle-free Street in Akiba," but probably because of a lady who calls herself " a Sexy Idol" showed her butt continuously for 2 weeks (1st time & 2nd time), on the 30th of a vehicle-free street in Akihabara, there were more police around from earlier. Police try to supervise the street strictly.

An announcement of new CD by Ms. Rie Kugimiya that will be released in May, "Tsundere Hyakunin Isshu " & "CD:Imouto ni Matowaritsukarete Nemurenai" was out at Toranoana Main Branch.

Himeyura by Mr. Eiichi Nishino was released on the 29th (I think), and I found it on the 30th. According to its comic's information, it's a story about "make 3 bishojo (beautiful ladies) puppet!

Ladies who are in the manga are the greatest treasure, the sweet door for the heaven, a soft pot, and a goddess of making love: the total of 4 ladies. In each story, each girl makes love, but it's for all ages.

On the 30th (Sunday), a store played a "be united" demo on Chuo Street, Akihabara. It was for products of "be united." The picture on the left is just an image, but there was "be united" POP of Abe & Hosaka, " Ahhhhh!" Including a scene of a lady who feels good, the "be united" demo attracted people who walked by, so some people stopped and watched the demo.

Akiba PC Hotline! Junk Blog reported that flowers were sold in Akihabara at Twotop Main Branch since the 29th (Saturday). A real flower was 100yen ($1 = 100yen), and the store got flowers because "Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G" was released (?)." The signboard said "on the weekend of Akihabara, a fierce city, isn't it nice to have a flower?"

Power Stone (Charmstone) Store "Seiko" (website is not ready yet) whose staffs are Maidens in the Service of a Shrine opens on the 29th.
