Porn, anime and all that is dear to my heart

Well it really was inevitable, partly due to the numerous requests recived, for used virgin underwear from the vending machine that i was forced to hit Akihabara.
mainly known for its electric goods, and frankly that was the original purpose, but along the way distractions occur.
The Japanese for such a polite, and well mannered society sure due love their porn, its quite incredable, floors and floors of it, catering to every taste and desire, its enough to make a pervert blush (well not this pervert).
Toys of every shape and description greeted me, pretty typical stuff, perhaps the mos interesting obseration was that this place backed onto a main road, and there clearly was no shame in going in.
They had a floor dedicated to Hentei which is basically anime porn, and their was absolutely tons of it, quite incredable the amount of animation hours that go into that kind of work.
A floor dedicated to "costumes" everything from school girl to my personal favorite the "flight attendant".... sir, can you please prepare to stow your overhead table as we go in for landing (say it in a really sleazy voice for maximum impact).
And to answer the quesion put by many as to whether it is possible to get used virgin underwear out of vending machines, well i encountered "used underwear", hanging from packets on a shelf, and then their was new underwear in what wasn't really a vending machne but more, of a gumball machine, the kind that people used t get chewing gum out of as a kid, the underwear was contained within capsules.... nothing was purchased, so we'll see how time goes.
I went in search of "love pillows", which is this kooky thing i heard of on the internet, which involves lifesized inflatable cussions, dedicated to people's favorite anime character (always female, always larger then life, always dispropianate).
After this part of the expedition was completed i went and looked at robots, toy robots.....why?
cause I'm a geek, and I love that sort of shit and their was a ton of it, biggest regret bein that it was not practical to transport this kind of stuff around in a backpack, there was also lots and lots of big breasted action figures, has to make you wonder what this does to the young males wh basically live, breathe, sleep and obsess over this stuff, I mean its got to warp perceptions on how women are supposed to look, much the same way that happens with celebrities, but to a much greater extent.
Anyway, back to the toys, so their was tons of electronics and gadgets in the area, nothing that I really couldn't find in Singapore, but I was mesmerised by the heated toilet seats, absolute genius.

Anyway Friday night went out wandering around Shinjuku and Shibuya to 'soak up some of the madness', the entire place was just crazy, I really can't offer a comparison in Australia, other then perhaps the CBD of melbourne on new years eve.
The entire place attracted all ages, all styles and all subcultures, the entire city seems to be awash in the glow of neon as crowds packed out the busy streets.
Clubs kids were out and about, waiting for the venues to open, drunken business men began ther anebirated journey home, and large groups of girls wandered about for no apparent reason.
The love hotels, the porn shops and the gaming places all seem to go into overdrive.
crazy,crazy place.
One of the most amusing things is the chicks deck out in the latest fashion, we have "Japanese Barbi" (blonde, tanned, and horrifying amounts of makeup), and my personal favorite, the chicks who wear english T-shirts, but clearly are unable to understand what is written on them, I saw 2 moderately subtle dicks jokes on 2 different girls, great stuff.

Anyway in Kyoto now, more to follow.
later all
