Since this thread is more or less a total circle jerk, I just created a website.

from tokyo mango: "If you're in Tokyo later this month — or if you want an excuse to go there — you might check out what promises to be a huge otaku event held not in Akihabara but in trendy Roppongi. Special guests include girls from premium maid cafe @Home as well as LiveDoor founder Horiemon."

it's at alife?

lulz

[djrajio]

Haha.

Alife is a pretty domestic club.

Looks like the economy is so bad they have to do event like this.

Charleston Cafe right across the street closed down after 20 years!

Real shame.

I actually went to this place last week. It was quite nice, although the hike part of it was a rather stupid idea to do alone and in the pouring rain.

[cuddlysheep]

my friend who visited japan the past spring and she stayed at weekly mansion akaska. she believes she saw a ghost in her room. she bounced out of that place same day. lol.

世界的なファッションデザイナー山本耀司氏のブランドを展開するヨウジヤマモト（東京都品川区、大塚昌平社長）は９日、東京地裁に民事再生法の適用を申請した。負債額は約６０億円。投資会社インテグラル（千代田区）の支援を受けて再建を図り、会社としての営業は続ける。

　世界的な景気後退の中で国内外の売り上げが伸び悩む中、今年初めにパリの一等地に開店したブティックへの投資などもかさみ、今春から資金繰りに行き詰まっていた。４月末に山本氏が代表取締役を辞任。７月末には取引先に支払いの猶予を求める文書を送り、再建に向けたスポンサー探しを続けていた。

hey, i'm gonna be in tokyo in a couple weeks.

Does anyone have any experience using their Iphone 3gs?

And how is the Tokyo Super Guide? seems pricey for a printout. A nice bound and printed book is far cheaper...

Thanks!

[herpsky]

iphone works but people usually get with ginormous roaming fees. it's better to rent a phone.

i doubt that there are bound + print book that lists cool-guy stores in English.

[Spaceface]

Thanks Herpsky, been tryin to figure the iphone roaming thing out for a min. I havent had mine very long so I'm not sure if I can use a japanese sim card, if it has to be jailbroken, etc, etc...

[herpsky]

i suppose that if you jailbreak your phone and use the SIM card you pull out of a rental one, i guess you can use your iphone.

what's the point of that though? you just need phone / email, right?

[jcotteri]

the house has been refinanced by Integral Corporation and Yoshihiro Hemmi will become chairman

Damn I think the only Japanese retail company that is doing well right now is Uniqlo. Versace just exited Japan last week.

But to be frank Y-3 is a more commercially viable/accessible label.

So it make sense that Adidas stepped in.

[dismalfuture]

Anybody still left, besides rajio, to do a Tokyo brodown 2009? Mid November? I am gonna skip the $750 strippers this year and put that money towards other entertainment. dizzhizz will come with.

[herpsky]

ill be there.

im probably arriving on the 20th.

anytime after that should be good.

[dismalfuture]

let's do it then, start in Roppongi or Ebisu to who knows where, late November.

[herpsky]

all right

sounds good

[herpsky]

i just noticed this

but undercover has an online store on thecorner.com

[djrajio]

Holy shit. The prices are nearly double retail. Haha. Suckas.

[cyberPUNK]

haven't checked sufu in awhile, how's this thread holdin' up without jmatsu? his ass still banned? fucking depressing.

[edmond]

im headed n the 24 to tokyo where can i catch some paid for girls for sex? i mean teen girls not the types with tatoos

[djrajio]

Holy shit. The prices are nearly double retail. Haha. Suckas.

Actually I take that back. Those tailored jackets retail for 70,000 yen ish so that's three times retail. Fucking ridiculous.

[herpsky]

im headed n the 24 to tokyo where can i catch some paid for girls for sex? i mean teen girls not the types with tatoos

the girls who stand around the freegea building in shinjuku.

you will get an STD though

[edmond]

[djrajio]

Aren't you married?

[Egpt]

Aren't you married?

i think it isn't considering cheating if you paid for your wife too.
