A video recording I took of a street performance in Akihabara. Unfortunately I ran out of space on the SD card I was using before the very end of the song.
Reportaje que la página web GAMETRAILERS hizo durante el Tokyo Game Show de 2006, subtitulado en español por un servidor para que todo el mundo lo entienda. En el se dan un paseo por Akihabara, entrevistan a un occidental bastante freak (que no es lo mismo que friki) que dice unas cosas muy raras, y se meten en la tienda Super Potato a trastear.Más videos en http://www.frikiviajes.net/
I`m on a mission to Akihabara to find a discount movie projector. But of course I got side tracked into other topics, a robot parts store, growing diversity in the population, maid cafes, otaku, moe, and used electronics from a time long a go we called the 1980s. I even stumble upon a friend named Mike who has appeared in earlier vlogs if youve watched my other ones.Music:Theme Song from The J-Dorama Densha Otoko "Twightlight" by Electric Light OrchestraLincoln: "Smashing"James Brown "Papa Dont take No Mess"Roy Orbison: "Only the Lonely"South American Buskers: "South American Song #23"Lincoln: "Sucker"BTW: You may notice the video format changing Im using a new camera and I`ve also given up on Premire and switched to Final Cut so bear with me while I re-learn how to edit.

Every sundays, most of the "otaku" cosplayers in Tokyo come out to put on a show in Akihabara. One day, vendingmachine-shaped robots were dancing with "otaku" dancers and dispense some free drinks for them. It is hot as hell here.
BBtv online: http://tv.boingboing.netI hope you are sitting down when you hit "play." Joi Ito, the host of today's special Boing Boing tv episode from Tokyo, explains what you're about to witness: This year, the Digital Garage New Context Conference and Ellen Levy's Silicon Valley Connect worked together on a program for visitors from Silicon Valley to Tokyo. Silicon Valley Connect is a program that Ellen runs which brings executives and visionaries from Silicon Valley to various parts of the world. This year, we organized a group to visit Japan. As part of the "cultural program" we decided to take a tour of Akihabara, the mecca of all things otaku, anime and electronic in Japan. I asked a very special friend, Danny Choo, son of the famous shoe designer Jimmy Choo, to lead the tour. I call Danny "The Prince of Akihabara". He is one of the world's experts on Japan's otaku culture and has one of the most popular English language websites about Japan. One of his favorite things is to dress up as a storm trooper and spread his love and happiness in Akihabara. He is often accompanied by his side-kick Darth Vader, played by Hector Garcia who also has a super-popular blog about Japan. (Danny on CNN talking about this hobby of his.) When I talked to Xeni Jardin about this, we decided that this might make a good Boing Boing TV episode... and I think we were right. Thanks to everyone who participated and helped. Participants from Silicon Valley included Ellen Levy (LinkedIn), Ken Glidewell, Loic Le Meur (Seesmic), Geraldine Le Meur (Le Web), bunnie Huang (Chumby), Jean-Marie Hullot (Fotonauts), Matt Flannery (Kiva), Julie Hanna Farris (SocialText) and Chamath Palihapitiya (Facebook).
