Nope. Haven't encountered any of those yet, but I wish I might.

The reason is the TV company that runs the show pays whom ever
is lucky enough to be a victim of those pranks a generous amount
of money. I'm not sure but I think its around 1M yen, this is to
ensure that the victim would not press charges and as payment
to allow the airing of the victim's embarrassing moments.

Easy money IMO LOL

I went strolling again at the streets of nipponbashi this afternoon
to check whats new especially the Kotobukiya store.
All I found was uranus kits and a bunch of aliahs there.
I was actually expecting to see pre-production models of
up-comming ac kits, so I was a bit disappointed Sad

Found this instead:

A tachikoma stuff toy Wub

After that, I went to other stores and ended up spending some Y's:

Another eva t-shirt and a dvd case Big grin

Heres a little trivia info:
Sudden changes in temperature happen here in Japan overnight,
like 1 day it is ~32 degrees then suddenly the next day it drops to ~22
degrees. Argh

here are some updates straight from the front lines Big grin

A NEW MECH ARCADE GAME HITS JAPAN
A new arcade game has just been released in japan and is immediately creating a scene. Following the successful game engine of the gundam seed union vs zaft I and II comes another fast phased, 3D action versus game named "Gundam vs. Gundam". As the title implies, this game contains beautiful chicks with "V" in their foreheads wrestling in a mud ring.......... Chair

The gameplay is almost the same except for the addition of a tag system attack and a destructive support (super weapon) attack. A massive collection of gundams and other mechs from both UC, AD and other eras like Ggundam are also made available.

*If you want to see GundamZZ doing a spinning pile driver (like zangief's in SF) on another mech, this is the game for you. Pirate

NEW AC KIT FROM KOTOBUKIYA
Kotobukiya just released another Armored Core model kit, this time it is based on the AC4 TELLUS following the AALIYAH on the AC4 model kit series. It hit the shelves with a priced tag of 3900 yen, making it the most expensive AC model kit to date.

*I didn't see this coming, no teaser posters or pre-production models were displayed on various shops before its production and
even on the release date itself, no announcements were made which is totally different from previous releases.

cabs, signing off Salute

RE: cabs in japan - cabs - 02-25-2008

Well guys as some of you know, many life changing events happened
to me during my last vacation in the Philippines. I would like to express my gratitude to the persons who've helped during these
times (namely Adrian at Jolly) and to the ravens who have extended their sympathy. This just shows that the Republic is more than just
your average forum group on the net, and which makes me proud to say that I'm a part of. Thanks guys! Salute

Moving on with my life, I'm now back here in Japan. Back to deliver
some info, sights, sounds and other trivial things about the country referred to as
"the land of the rising sun" (the birth place of AC, if u like to call it Tongue

)

The apartment where I stay at, just your average apartment in Japan i suppose Smile

The room where time has stopped

[Image: Image352.jpg]

Here is what its like outside at night (the temperature here now
ranges from 0 to 7 degrees C., thats enough to make your ears
and nose numb in seconds)

Unto something more interesting: FOOD!

[Image: P1000059.jpg]

Japanese Curry (official food of the Republic! Tongue

)

Katsu-Kare (Tonkatsu and Curry)
c/o Kamadoya (a bento take-out resto from accross the street)
@Rick: You got to try this bro, nothing like the original. Completely
different from what u can make out of those commercially sold curry paste.

[Image: P1000060.jpg]

Anpan (Bean paste bread)
Nothing beats eating freshly baked ones during these cold season.
I think most of you are more familiar with them being fish shaped LOL

.

Next stop: Model Kits

As u all heard, Bandai recently released a new Gundam model kit from their MG line. The Unicorn Gundam ver.KA

[Image: P1000064.jpg]

They literally stocked up on this new kit in every mall, enticing me
to buy one rather than the intended extreme burst destiny which I
originally plan on buying.

I'll post the juicy contents later Shifty

----------------------------
Thats all (for now LOL

Great stuff Jay. That curry is making me very hungry.
