Tokyo Travelog 2009 Part 4 - Tanabata of Legendary Proportions

July 7th, 2009

Okay, I was going to write up a Kanno Yoko concert report but that will probably take a whole lot of time, so read up on Mai’s comment spam if you’re into those precious, fresh-baked joe-hoes.

Just some random last minute things:

I picked up Asako Nishida’s art book. It came out 7/2 so it was well-presented at the stores in Akiba. Having some time to leaf through it now…let’s just say if you like Simoun, YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF to pick it up… On top of that, it has Nishida’s work for YamiBou, Touka Gettan, and many others… And it’s not just the usual yuri lol-stuff too. Her works from Outlaw Star and Angel Links are well worth it, if those titles mean anything to you. Plus, her taste in fan art is probably just like yours if you liked the titles she worked on.

It’s always good to run into an otaku or two of your equal in a strange land. So hello to Danie’s friends for being keen minds like hers~

Food exploration for today:

Which way is the head?

New anime watched: Sora no Manimani, Princess Lover!

Definitely more to come. Time to crash.

    Looks like I’ve got my artbook purchase already lined up. Angel Links, haven’t heard that title in a while.

    It looks like the filling was squeezed out.

    ISBN for the Nishida book (makes it easier to find on Amazon.co.jp)

    This the one?

    I have a feeling that comment was targeted at me. Or would have been, if I’d remembered to bring the Simoun production drawings when we met.

    You’re not the only one… But yes, that is the book in question.

    I think if you just eat such that it doesn’t dribble out . . . that works.

    That’s generally the modus operandi

    If anybody cares, due to hardware problems, the actual concert writeup will be delayed :(
