Re: japan trip (hell yea!!!)
Have a great time! I really want to go back since my trip in 09'. The S7 Tokyo Underground book is a must, and just the right size to fit in a backpack. And remember no photos in Mandarake! I almost got kicked out after snapping this photo 3 min after walking in. (Did not see the sign)
Is it bad that I know want to go to Japan for this more than the toys
MUST. GO. THERE.

Re: japan trip (hell yea!!!)
It's a pity that it costs extra to have a pet in the apartment .
There is a rumor that someone is trying to open a Nekko Cafe in Boston, but typical.... lots of rules and regulations and such. One worry is that it stresses out the kittees to be in public day and night, and they are exploited. Well, if you gave the kittee an option of escaping into another area for isolation from humans, that would solve that argument....
P.S. Great photo Geekabilly!
P.P.S. BILL! This has your name written all over it!

Sacrilegious, if you don't go to Tokyu Hands when in Tokyo!
The Shibuya Tokyu Hands is great, there's a Mandarake nearby too. Put your wife there, she WILL NOT want to leave...then sneak over to Mandarake
Food sampling at Isetan basement would be a meal on its own.

Re: japan trip (hell yea!!!)
Tokyu Hands is the greatest store ever. I recommend the Shinjuku Tokyu one. It's just a short walk from Shinjuku Gyoen and there's lots of Disk Union stores around it if you're into music.
I go there every day in my day dreams.

Re: japan trip (hell yea!!!)
Awesome, keeping an eye on this thread as I'm planning a Japan trip with the girlfriend this year. Thanks dudes.
could a mod take all these "japan trip tips/recommendations" threads, merge them into one super knowledge center, and sticky it, please? it would be a great resource.
I second this notion. I am headed over in early May. I'll have limited time(only a week) and will be mostly in Tokyo with the exception of maybe a quick trip to Kyoto for a Balzac show.
