[funkymonkey]

[konect]

Have a look at the pic of the Jaguar and the truck.

Are those steel things with the green ends to prevent someone stealing the vehicle ?

Good idea if they are

[BNR#$]

[Slide]

Goth japanese = eww

Look very attractive in kimoto

[Poida]

This is a Karaoke place in Shinjuku. Several stories of karaoke. They don't muck around when it comes to Karaoke in this town.

Actually thats a big Pachinko parlour...

[sigsputnik]

gee thanks for the correction.

[sskylinee]

some of them goths look like something from naruto???

[Taran]

Goth's aren't scary, i'm scary! joking...no wait, i am scary.

[lwells]

oh, and to continue with the pedantic corrections, akihabara is reffered to as "electric town" not electric city. man i am pedantic!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm 99% sure that the engrish translation on the akihabara train station signs said "electric city" when I was there (about 10 yrs ago now). God I loved that place.

PS. Not saying that it isn't actually refered to as "electric town", just that the signs themselves used city...

[Donarto]

How many of you guys actually watch naruto in Japanese????? (i have to wait the couple of days for the english translation as my japanese is very very basic atm).

no that is a paying car park. you drive over them, then they raise up. to get them to lower again you have to pay. Any decent 4wd could just drive over them though.

lucien, maybe i am wrong, it has happend before, but i'm also pretty sure it's electric town. i'll be back there in about 6 weeks so i'll check it out

Probably changed in the last 10 years anyway

I want to go to TAS *sob* *sniff*

[Beer Baron]

mate TAS is just a phone call (to the travel agent) away! I have a feeling 06 is going to be a very good year.

[sigsputnik]

to be honest, whether it's "electric town" or "electric city"... i mean really who gives a crap? don't waste your time over here worrying about minor stuff like that.

im 100% sure your wrong.

maybe he was talking about the big echo karaoke on the far left of the picture not actually the pachinko parlour

[DaiOni]

osaka's 'akihabara' is denden machi (and signposted in english as 'electric town').

I've never heard of this title being used for aki, and I've been there 2 or three times (which is not to say it isn't the case - I just haven't seen it).

anyway...

[Taran]

more pics?

[sigsputnik]

Hi guys,

Sorry it's taken so long to post new shots, just been so busy here.

OK lessee what we have here.

Been meaning to post these two up. Seems hotting up vans is quite popular here. Here are two examples from my recent travels.

The filth! There are many different types of cop car over here, I'll try and snap some more. You better panic when you see this thing in your rear-view.

BMW 645 Convertible

Nismo R33 GTR G-Attack. No idea what G-attack is, anyone else have details? There are more details here but that's it.

Detail of the Nismo G-Attack decal.
