One more

So after two days of going around Den Den Town, you'd think I'd be bored. Nope.... time was precious and past two days at Den Den have only been a couple of hours spent there a day at best.

How else are you going to really take in a six storey porn emporium. I kid you. Not.

So started early in the morning to walk around Den Den Town. Again. Today started with music stores. A second hand music store to be exact. Awesome! It was in the back alley (where I also found this fantastic lunch spot in a quaint small restaurant that has the best chicken karate I've ever had). 

See that black and goldfish guitar? That's a Rickenbacker 1957! Fuck! The Gibson's pretty sweet too, but the Rickenbacker memang sakit hati. RM9,000... kalau aku cukup duit aku dah beli dah!

The Gretsch is nice too.. but this Japanese Fender steel guitar gets me. Damn. RM3,000 gitu.

And I love this nyunga nyunga - just that it's too damn pricey. Beautiful sounds though...

Check out that red with cream 'piping' Rickenbacker bass!

Ok enough guitars and musical instruments. Fancy a hemp air freshener?

How'd I end up in the sex emporium? The sex dolls are awesome. Siap sections for wigs, clothes, shoes... etc. The Japanese really live in their fantasies.

More safer for work photos. Toy stores!

Oh look... it's Tony Tony Chopper from One Piece. I have to admit... after the first day at Den Den Town.... I still had no idea what One Piece (the number one manga and anime in the world was).

Sehinggalah sayang aku mesej kalau boleh kirim belikan Tony Tony Chopper. I had no freaking clu what that was. So download one or two episodes and watched. Immediately hooked.

Didn't buy so much One Piece stuff (bound to regret for sure once back in KL). The thing about Japan is... I love how their mainstream anime and manga crosses over into hentai.

Check out Boa Hancock and Luffy from One Piece.

Like what?

And then there are more fun stuff - like this. What would Japan be without Godzilla eh? Or a gigantic remote control one at that...

Pellet guns were also in abundance. Damn... so much stuff to buy. I really wished I had more cash for shopping...

Den Den Town again

Started the day at Dotonbori. The downtown area honestly doesn't interest me because it's like any other metropolitan city in the world. Except more crowded. Which is why I guess there was no appeal for me. 

I prefer places of retail - that have a little bit more to hold my interest. Not really keen on shops that only offer what we already have back home. Cam buang masa ke negara orang kan kalau gitu...

This creative display caught my attention. Love the idea behind the attempt to use whatever space they had (since floor space is limited).

This Snow White inspired outfit caught my eye too. Wondering who the heck would wear this and for what apart from being fetish wear of sorts.

Quick lunch and it was on to more shops... music stores to be exact.

Still nothing caught my interest... so it was back to Den Den Town. Used panties anyone? (I'm not kidding!)

Ok... so that's not my interest. These are. TOYS!

I REALLY wanted to get this. I think his name was Blade from the Puppet Master movies. Damn! This is a rare find!

There were many other rare finds. Like this 'green farm'. Grow your own organics - in the comfort of your own home. This is apparently big in Japan now. I was imagining more like could someone use this to grow marijuana in their apartment. Matilah!

And here's a hot meal vending machine. I can't even begin to tell you how these things still amaze me...

It was getting dark, so sped through some other stores after picking up some finds. Spotted this cosplay store.

If you're ever in Den Den Town - you won't miss this!

And you should check this out. Passed this restaurant. Damn. Note what's on EVERY table.

Tiring day. Squeezing in one more day tomorrow at Den Den Town before the end of our trip to Japan.
