There are some fishy DVD stores in Akihabara, and in November 2007, two stores were exposed. Many of those kinds of stores put a signboard at the most, but the one just opened on the Chuo Street writes "DVD" grandly. The store sells copy DVD of Japanese adult anime & copy DVD of overseas edition of adult anime. The overseas edition is no masking.

While reporting about Asuka Sawamoto, a group from TV Asahi, as I have reported, didn't care about people they interviewed or the traffic. On the 5th, the same group of people tried to interview some locals of Akiba. One of the people raised a loud and weird cry, so people from TV Asahi got nervous!?

Doujinshi of "Karen no Doku Denpa Channel –Summarizing an Entire Serial-" by Circle Komaizm, "Special Side" & "News Side" were released a while ago, and on the 5th, I found it at Melonbooks & Messe Sanoo. A comment on its band of paper carrying a blurb placed over the dust cover is written by Zephyr from Circle Makegumi Club & Matsuri from Circle Sakura Nigou: "Kinoko Nasu Be Enraged!" on one book, and another one says "Takashi Takeuchi Brings a Charge Against Nasu!"

I'm gonna report about Akiba on the Children's Day since I reported about the day in 2007 . As I wrote about what was going on in the first half of GW Holiday such as Akiba’s Vehicle-free Street: the Highest # of Mass Medias Came , A Vehicle-free St. in Akiba on the 29th: Nothing Happens- Mass Medias Cry, and maybe because of some people have started patrolling on the vehicle-free street in Akiba, the Children's Day of Akiba this year was totally different from last year: there was almost no performers or cosplayers.

From April 29th to May 5th, again, an article of Asuka Sawamoto (30) who showed her ass being arrested was #1. The article that got the most access except showing ass was comic " Nobosete Miteyo!" by Futabasha, whose story is just to "make love" (no age limit). It's a manga of "having sex without condom!?" & "having so many thick sperms."

In Akihabara, the real Akihabara Idol, ex Nuko, is well known, but a different Neko (cat) was sleeping on a signboard of an emergency guide board, and people who took pictures came one after another. There are so many people write about the cat: Goto-Natsumi-blog-san says “the Nuko (cat) was just sleeping, but it was somehow really popular. Although around the cat, there were maid…”

A new doujinshi of Comic1 2, “Icha Icha Rail Gun!” by Circle NtyPe is a consignment good of Toranoana & Melon, and at Melonbooks Akihabara, this was sold out once but re-arrived on the 4th. The main character is Mikoto from “ Toaru Kagaku no Choudenjihou,” and it’s doujinshi that even the editorial staff of “Toaru Kagaku no Choudenjihou” says “Good! Do it more!”

“Yandere Karuta” produced by Makaitoshi-nikki-san was released only at Melonbooks on the 4th. “Yandere Karuta” is a set of Karuta & CD that reads those Karuta, which writes something Yandere (= having too much of love for something or somebody; as a result, people would have sick minds). Melonbooks Akihabara puts the sample of Yandere Karuta & writes “Everybody, thank you for waitin’! Finally, Yandere Karuta has arrived!” (*What's Karuta?)

Deep Collector, a rental store in Shinjyuku, was distributing handbills and tissues of the store. Ladies who were distributing them were event companions (ladies who serve people at an event) rather than cosplayers (I guess), and they wore costumes looked like Plug Suits from Evangelion, wearing short pants and showing bellybutton. Of course, there were so many cameramen surround them.

A lady from Neko Club (Cat Club), which makes and sells many kinds of costumes and Nekomimi (a head band that has cat ears), was distributing handbills on the 4th around Akihabara station. The lady also sold “ Miku Hatsune green onion.” This green onion is called “Hatyune Negi” (Negi=green onion), and Akiba Ohkoku also sells it. The lady who wore pink dress and Nekomimi sold it at 1,500yen ($15=100yen).

Three Miku Hatsune Itasha parked on a back street of former The Computer on the 3rd in the afternoon. They probably came from "Dream Party" held at Big Sight on the same day (3rd) after showing off their Itasha. Owners of those three Miku's Itasha are the members of Miku Hatsune Itasha Community [mixi], and this time, I saw Miku Camaro, Miku Levin, & Miku GTO.

In front of Akihabara station on the 3rd, a man who wore skirt was dancing. I guess he did not have any handbill, so like the man who wore Nekomimi (wearing cat ears) & costume of Shrine Maiden the purpose is just to dance. This man did not even care if people could see his panties. There were so many people looking at him, but all of them kept a distance. Some people who were watching the guy dancing say "that's dubious. The distance between him and spectators is telling us that."

A G.W. event of displaying new figures by Good Smile Company in Akihabara has started at Asobit Chara City, Sofmap AM Branch, and Kotobukiya Radio Hall on the 3rd. The figures that were displayed were Miku Hatsune figure that already stop taking reservations, Miki Hoshii from Idolm@ster, Lala from ToLove-ru, figma SOS-group, etc. The whole figures would be released in the future. Stores will display them until May 6th.

Doujinshi of Hatsukoi Gentei (Hatsukoi Limited), "Kyonyu Gentei –Oppai Limited-" (Large Boobs –Boobs Limited-) by Circle Kensoh Ogawa (Mr. Fukuda-da) was at Melonbooks Akihabara on the 2nd. The main heroine is Meguru Watarase, who appears in Hatsukoi Gentei vol.2. She is Iincho (a chairperson) who has large boobs and wears glasses. This is doujinshi for adults. The scene of using Meguru Watarase's boobs is… "God! So Soft! These Boobs are the Best!" etc.

Haruhi's Doujinshi, " Haruhi Kawaii 2" by circle TTT became #1 of the doujinshi ranking at Messe Sanoo 3rd Branch. It was #2 at Toranoana 1st Branch and #3 at Melonbooks Akihabara. This is the doujinshi that "Haruhi is Such a Cutie, So We Grin to Ourselves"; Haruhi & Kyon are really clinging to each other. Daisan-teikoku-san says "the face expressions after knowing the real love can be written only for the secondary creative work."
