The Attractions of Nintendo Land

Today it's time to start showing you the first part of all 12 mini games that are available at Nintendo Land.

Every game is dedicated to one classic nintendo game and its characters.

Let's start with:

Yoshi's Fruit Cart

Your Mii drives a cart that looks like Yoshi and it's your task to collect all the fruits on the field. To contol the cart you have to draw a line on your contoller, but the position of the fruits can only be seen on the TV screen. Your cart has limited fuel so you should use the shortest way. The easiest way to orientate ist the pattern of the field so you can guess the fruits spots or barriers or pits. In the higher levels the fruits need to be collected in a certain order. It's very funny and you'll find yourself scoring higher and higher.

The next one we'll pick is the one of Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong's Crash Course
You're driving a vehicle and try to get Pauline (The girls Mario had to rescue in the Donkey Kong Arcade). on the TV screen you see the hole cource and on the controller you can only see the part, where your vehicle is located. By turning the pad you control the gravity so you drive forward or backwards, but if you drive too fast, you will crash. An easy way to finish the course unharmed are friends sitting around giving tips about the parcours. high concentration and calm hands lead to a good score

Now it's time for one of my favorite characters: Link from the The Legend of Zelda series

The Legend of Zelda - Battle Quest

Up to 5 players can play this game - 4 Miis dressed as Link use their sword with the Wii Mote and the player with the pad uses a bow. Their lives count as one, so if every player is hit once and you have 5 hearts, then the quest is over. You walk trough a dungeon and have to clear it. Your archer attacks the enemy archers to protect your "swordmasters" and activates distant switches.

Now it's a green plumpers turn: Luigi in

Luigi's Ghost Mansion

The player with the pad controls a ghost and the other 4 players control Miis, who try defeat the ghost with their flashlights. But the ghost has also one way to defend itself by frightening the others, when he comes from behind On the TV screen you see the hole house and the Miis have to work together by talking about the ghosts position. The ghost only sees a small area and can only win, if he frightens all Miis before they recover. The players also have to watch for their battery levels, because without light they don't stand a chance against the ghost. As ghost it's very funny when you sneak behind the others. For the others the cooperating part is very funny if you can trick the ghost.

Within the next days the rest will be shown in combination with a small prize winning game.
The fuuniest comments or mails will win some WII U merchandise, so start commenting or mailing for WII U goodies.

Time has passed...

... and now it's finally time for a new entry.

Monday, September 24^th

This day we had only one target, Electric City Akiba, it has been the 4^th time for me there on this vacation and the first time for Eiji and Dave.

I wanted to show them AsoBitCity, but they were closed, because it was the first day of Fall.
We went into many shops, Yellow Submarine, 2 hobby shops were they had a lot of figures, Eiji was really very impressed by the Kamen Rider / Masked Rider and also Super Sentai figures

In Europe or America the Super Sentai series are known as Power Rangers and are not as brutal as the japanese original - e.g. in Mighty Morphin PR, which in the original was Zyuranger, in Japan the green died, in the western version he became the white ranger and they mixed everything up, until it started to be confusing when you know the origin and the western version. They Power Rangers were also mixed up with Kamen Rider in some episodes, so quiete confusing in my opinion.
A perfect database about Super Sentai you can find by visiting: www.supersentai.com

I bought an Aoashira for my boss. After that we visited some other stores until we found the best activity for I guess an hour: ASSEMBLEBORG (visit www.assembleborg.com for further information)

Next to the window there were many arms, hands, legs, heads, gears... which could be combined to creatures, so I just took my place there and started to build my monster. In the beginning Dave and Gerdi were confused and couldn't imagine that it was fun, but then they tried it too and liked it. Here you can see ours figures: a spider devil, a tank, a cyber-dinosaur and a 4-armed whatever.

 

We stayed in there until the shop closed, because time passed by, while we were creative.
After that we were searching for a maid cafe, we were interested, what would await ourselves, so we used my map..., but didn't find the wanted cafe, so we asked a maid on the street where this cafe, which we were searching for, is... She said something like follow me, ...so we followed, we went round about 200m and I told my friends, that it was a bit scary, and that we should number our guts to know where they will go, after we passed the next corner. Of course nothing happened, but Gerd and David laughted.

When we entered the cafe we had wait and got everything explained, 1.000 Yen just for being there and everythin in addition if we eat something. The cafe looked like a class room and the girls looked like 15 and called every guest MASTER... I felt very strange in there, but it still could be increased.
Every 15 min. two girls started to dance and sing and suddenly a man in front of our table got up and started to make some weird dance moves, he was dithering and wobbling around, had two glowing pens and was shaking them, it's hard to describe, one must have seen it, too bad it was not allowed to take pictures of the cafe, but of the food.

We ordered some food, David and me took curry and Eiji..., what did he take, I think it was ice cream, I only do remember that he was thinking of taking a plate which includes a picture of one of the girls (In my opinion these thoughts were creepy - I was hungry so I ordered curry)

When the maids brought the food, one couldn't just get started, NO, one had to do a small... procedure - make a heart with your hands, left, right, chest, yeah...

I made my moves really very very enthusiasticly...NO, I made it in a very sarcastic way, hmm, yummy, yummy..., by doing this I licked blood, so we were laughting out loud, very loud, everyone noticed us, but we had fun.

But there's still room for some creepy stuff - the two guys in front of the "stage" area, both 40+, the one sitting there wearing an undershirt the other a Hawaiian shirt, both were sweating a lot, so it was just disgusting.
After 50 min we went out there, Eiji and Dave thought, that the 1.000 Yen would be devided..., no, sure everyone had to pay the 1.000 Yen + food.

My summary about maid cafes... it's funny to see all the creepy guys, but also some kinda scary, I don't need to visit one of these cafes again.

Our next aim was the Comic Toranoana, where they sold doujinshis, finally found one but then the shop closed and I couldn't even buy the art, too bad.

After that we headed to the CLUB SEGA store, time for some Arcades. We played table hockey, after some points multiple pucks came so there were 20 pucks at a time, very funny. Then we saw some Street Fighter Arcades and were wondering, why they sit there for hours spending 100 Yen for every game. There were also a Sailor Moon arcade and baseball arcades, a mixture between Trading Card Game and video game.

After having explored every floor, we finally went back to the hostel, but when we got out of the Sega building it was raining a lot, so we had to run very fast to the JR station, David and me got very wet, but Eiji had an umbrella.

That's all for now, I hope the next entry won't need so long to be released.

DMC Devil May Cry - New Demo available

The new reboot of the Devil May Cry series will be released in a few months and yesterday a new demo was released for XBOX Live and for PSN it will follow today, so just try it and collect some impressions.

As a small candy I present to you an artworks of the upcoming game.

Wii U is on the run

Last week on November 15th there was an event in Berlin to show the Wii U to an invited group of people. This event was part of the Wii U experience Tour.

The Wii U will be released on November 30th in Europe.

At this event some of the launch titles were shown, so one could get in touch with the new console and the new way of playing coming with the new Wii U Controller.

The perfect game to show many opportunities of this controller is Nintendo Land, which is also part of the .... pack. The game is like a theme park with different games which are based on classical Nintendo games like Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Donkey Kong, Luigi's Mansion...
The mini game I liked most was the one with Yoshi - your Mii rides on a Yoshi vehicle and has to collect fruits on a green field. On the tv screen you see hole area with all fruits and all obstacles and on the controller screen you have to draw a line to determine your way with the Yoshi-bike, so guessing the positions of the targets is your task. If you look at the pattern of the field and compare both screens you can assume the right positions.

 

Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed was also presented in the press area, it reminds me a bit of Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing. You can control the vehycles via Wii-Mote or by using the Wii U controller, I took my favorite Knuckles and drove vs. a friend of mine, he took the main character from Crazy Taxi - he used the Wii U Pad and won, because it's easier to control.

I made a little joke: OMG, I lost vs. Robert de Niro,... the taxi driver.

Maybe I will be able to present some more details about this game next time.

I also played the new New Super Mario Bros. U together with someone, who used the whole event to explore as much as possible, especielly the names of the stages. We managed to clear 2 worlds within one hour and it was very funny, because in some moments we needed someone to use the pad to create platforms to get on higher areas to gather coins.

That's all for now, in later entries I'll present some pictures of the event and some more facts about the games.

And for sure the last entries from my trip to Japan will follow. 

 

Back in Germany

Sunday, September 30th

Yesterday evening I arrived back home, but the pending entries will follow soon.
Because of some internet connection problems and very long days it was hard to keep up, but the photos need to be uploaded, so just hang on.

Bye bye TGS

Sunday, September 23^rd

This day was reserved for TGS again, so there's not that much to tell here, we went there very early to be there at round about 10:00, we arrived at 10:15 at the messe, it was raining the whole day so I had my umbrella with, they borrowed some of the hostel.

After getting into the hall we started in hall 4, I wanted to show them Monster Hunter 4, but when we arrived at the booth at 10:20 there were no waiting tickets left until 5:00PM and the end of the messe, very dissapointing, even as presse there was no chance to try it, they said, for presse there is the Thursday and the Friday and I felt like being punched, he said something like: “Therefore the press day exists..., you can't play today.“ - Imagine you can't come earlier than Saturday because of appointments or whatever, you're just like an ordenary visitor, because of a missing business presentation area like there was one at Games Convention and is one at GamesCom. At the other booths it was the same, no chance to play or no allowence to take any photos of the screens and no possibility to save time being a press member, one had to get in line like all the others and when there were waiting tickets given to the visiters, then all of them were already out, so our only aim were the cosplayers.

The cosplayers have a good average quality, if these ones were „high rank“ cosplayers, then German elites are on the same level, but if there ones were “only“ average cosplayers, then their average level is higher than the German one. In the following pics some impressions of them, mostly Monster Hunter Cosplayers were my target. In Japan it's polite to tell them why you're taking this photos and what for and it's also polite to give them your business card after a shot and almost everyone has one's own cards and gives it to you.

The TGS ended at 5:00PM, so after the messe we went to Akiba, I showed them the Mandarake, K-Books, the Bookoff and the Yodobashi Akiba and ate Ramen at the Chabuton. Then we went back, my friends were very impressed by Akihabara.

TGS is over now and on Monday it's time for Akiba again for them to get all the things that were left.

My internet doesn't work, so this entry is so late

Saturday, September 22^nd

Before starting to talk about the 22^nd only one picture about today:

Mt. Fuji and the skyline of Tokyo.

I woke up at 1PM, talked to Hana an agent of the guest house about my friend Gerdi who was going to arrive today, I briefed them how to get to the station and the guesthouse, but he didn't react to the e-mail I wrote him some days ago. I was also interesting, wheather they would get they 2^nd flight in Moscow, they had only 1 hour to do the transfer check-in, so Hana and I were wondering if they were able to handle it, when they didn't arrive yet at 2PM. We've been waiting in the office and after waiting a while I left and went back into my room, when I reentered the house I saw them coming out of the building looking somehow confused, which entrance to use, if this one was wrong, it wasn't wrong, but before getting into the room a starting procedure must be done like signing the contract to stay there.

After that they refreshed themself and I told them that we will go for Shibuya because they at least seamed to be awake enought for a short trip.

We used the wrong exit at Shibuya and ended up at a crossing street, where we used a green light phase, which was only for bycicles, so we finally were in the middle of the road, our only chance was to walk back and just going around the JR station to find the right exit to go the Hachiko exit and the shopping area.

I showed them the Hachiko statue and next to this the huge street with the enourmous crowd of people everytime the lights turn green. I also wanted to prove the high price of the melons of 4200 Yen for one. After that I needed to explain and also show them the Bookoff and the Mandarake.

In the Mandarake Gerdi/Eiji found a DVD-box, which he wanted to reserve, because he didn't take enought money to Shibuya, we could help him with 2 other DVDs but not with these ones. I also had a strange moment when I went to the figure section, I noticed someone who looked German and also known to me, but I didn't know where I knew her from and I also couldn't imagine to meet someone else I know here in Mandarake, so we both looked at each other with the same confusing view and then she asked me if I once have been the host of a cosplay competition at Animuc, an anime and manga convention next to Munich I was, so she knew me, but I didn't remember her, she was one of participients, this was very funny, we talked about Tokyo, where she and her girlfriend have already been, and where they should go and which must-sees are left.

In the end we were hungry and went into a restaurant that served curry, very delicious, I had a mega portion, my tummy was almost empty. Then we went back to our hostel for relaxing and preparing for the next day, but before this I introduced Lawson to them. There were only less praparations to do, because the next day was TGS again, I knew how to get there, so they were able to relax from their flight.

Public day impressions and also many Cosplayer photos of the Tokyo Game Show will follow next, so stay tuned.

2nd Day of TGS or something else?

Friday, September 21^st

Now TGS again?...no, I saw everything, that I was interested in and also got press kits and the cosplayers don't come before Saturday (first public day), so I decided to relax this day, I played some Monster Hunter 3G yesterday evening and stayed up very long.

I woke up because of loud noises out of my room, I thought, the police cars only drove by, but when I stepped onto the balcony I noticed 10 agents there, 7 of the fire department and 3 or 4 police agents. I was wondering what was going on and also became a bit nervous, but after a while a just got off the building heading to Shinjuku for the second Kinokuniya and to just walk around the amusement part of Shinjuku and also the Yodobashi Shinjuku.

I had my map and took the south exit out of the station and was searching around but found the Yodobashi Camera after a while, but there was nothing of interest for me, so I asked for the game section, I had to get out of the building round the corner to the second part of the store with hobby and gaming stuff. I found something and then went out to fill my tummy at McDonald's with 2 cheeseburgers and 1 chicken tasty, which was really very tasty.

After that I went back to the station to orientate myself again to get to the Kinokuniya Main Store.

Close to the South exit of the JR station I noticed a Bookoff sign I down and asked someone about the Bookoff location who was giving paper towels with a small Bookoff coupon about 160 Yen, he didn't know where it was, even if there was a small map on the coupon, he couldn't help and asked someone else, still no solution, but then I managed to get there on my own.

It was somewhere near the northeastern exit of the JR station, I bought some old Super Famicom (SNES) game guides e.g. for The Legend of Zelda – a Link to the Past. Almost right next to it there was the Kinokuniya, I was out there after a while and went into the Manga/DVD/CD part of the store just behind the building and after that I headed back home playing some Monster Hunter and New Super Mario Bros 2 so I had a relaxing evening.

I also tracked the arrival of my friend Gerdi who will arrive the next day, so I could calculate how long I was able to sleep and also what to do the next day, when he won't be to exhausted.

You will see where we went, and when he arrived with his friend, Akiba, Shibuya, Shinjuku, or other parts of Tokyo, hang on and you will see.

TGS with some more information and impressions

Thursday, September 20^th

It's TGS time again, after the ceremony I used the press entry to get into hall 5. At the Makuhari Messe hall 1-8 is one hall, which devided in 3 parts, 1-2, 3-6 and 7-8, and also there is hall 9-11 with the international exhibitors. I went to Capcom first to try Monster Hunter 4, Capcom had a giant booth, with many titles, such as Devil May Cry, the new Ace Attorney, Lost Planet 3, Bio Hazard 6 (Resident Evil 6) and others, even some mobile software. The queue was instantly very long, so I asked if a privat presentation is possible or if one has to wait as a press member compared to the business members, there was no difference and I had to get in line. After a while they handed out tickets for playing. I chose the single player and got a ticket for 10:30AM to come back at this time. So I used the time to go to the information counter to ask for a press kit, I had to give them my business card and they handed over a DVD with press material. After that I got back to get in line for the 10:30AM trial but still had to wait 30 min. There were noz so many differences compared with the older parts of the serie in this demo, but as this is only a small view I guess many things will be added until March 2013. After my 15 min of playing I had the chance to take some photos of the MonHun Booth, but not play the multiplayer, therefore I had to get in line again, even as press.

The promoters were very impolite and almost tried to push me out of the area, even when I showed them my Capcom press sticker that allowes me to take photos of the area but not of the screens. They also had the huge new monster, which I guess will be the new flagship monster in their area, I only wanted to know which material it was made of, a promototer got his supervisor, maybe because they wanted me to back off, she told me in a very rude kind that I shall leave the gaming area because this was no place for english questions:“ No english here, go to the information, no english, no english!!“, combined with a made face, I was really wondering about this rude behavior and also the fact that almost nobody speaks english at an international gaming messe. When leaving the area I got a small MH4 bag, which couldn't change my mood about this rudeness,after that I didn't go to the information counter to ask for the material of the monster, they maybe would have been able to understand me but unable to answer this question. I was very dissapointed about the promoters but not about the game, because it seems like they were only hired to stop the time that nobody plays more than 15 min and to clean the displays, but not for answering questions of the release or any other content stuff.

Capcom was followed by Square Enix – the same procedure, getting press kit, walking around, no allowence to take pictures of the screens, no demos, only trailer, no english except for the info counter, so I was also a bit dissapointed by this booth, too. This procedure was the same with all the other big publishers, such as SEGA, BANDAI NAMCO, SONY and others, too. Detailed facts about the the games and the given press material will be shown later on this blog, because right now it would be too much, so I will present this stuff one by one,every with a single entry.

Only one strange story left; I went to Sony, starting procedure was done already, so I asked in english (big mistake I know), wheather there's someone of the God of War developers at the TGS. The promoter I asked only understood God of War and went with me to the gaming area and put me into a line leaving me there alone, he thought I wanted to play. I got to a selection counter, where I needed to choose the game to try, I asked again for someone of the Santa Monica Studio, and once again they only understood God of War and gave me a ticket to wait in a second queue only for this game – this works with all the other games, too. Before getting in line, I asked another guy, who sorts the people, he noticed: english question about game, so he said, follow me or something like that, so I followed him and was looking forward and hoping to meet someone of the GoW guys again since GamesCom, then he stopped, turned left and pointed to the Sony info counter and said some thing like: “english question here“, I was almost going crazy because this little boy drove me nuts, in the end I had to get in both lines again, then I finally arrived at the GoW area and also had someone in front of me who was able to speak english very good, but he had a bad message for me, no one of the God of War team was there, so I only could play the new God of War Ascension with some kinda 3D-glasses, which was very awesome, even if I already knew the demo from the GamesCom, it was a completely new experience, so again: good games (if playable), bad promoters (except for the one who finally understood me)

A short summary about the games and the messe overall for now:

My highlight was definitely Monster Hunter 4 for Nintendo 3DS, because I love the serie and this new part of it will continue the things that make a game to a MonHun game, so I guess they won't fail and my second highlight was God of War Acsension in 3D which also feels like the other games of the serie with some new spicy features.

An interesting project is Project X Zone from Bandai Namco, I can't describe the genre, but the game has a hero base of many other publishers such as Valkyria Chronicles from SEGA or MegaMan, Zero, Ryu and others from Capcom and so on, it looks good,and we will see, wheather it will come to Europe.

Many promoters don't speak english, so communication was tricky, and sometimes they deported me to the info counter so I wasn't their problem any more

That's all for now, detailed entries about the games will follow but I think not before I'm back in Germany again

Tokyo Game Show - The Beginning

Thursday, September 20^th

First Day of Tokyo Game Show – Yeah!!! I had to get up very early (6:30AM or so), because the starting ceremony was at 10:00AM, but the press tickets needed to be got before, so I used to be there at 8:30AM. The way was very long, about 1 and a half hour to get there from Higashi-Koganei. I needed to use the Chuo line until Tokyo and from there I used the Keiyo line to get to Kaihin Makuhari. The train was very full in Tokyo, but only because many of the other ones in this train wanted to go to the Disney Resort Tokyo, after the Maihama station the train was almost empty.

After my arrival at round about 8:40 AM there was a way of 10 min to get to the messe area, the press registration itself was done faster than I thought, so I had to wait, until the opening started.

It was hard to get a spot for taking photos, but I somehow managed to do this.

 

I hope you're interested in seeing something more of the TGS now, it will come after only a few hours of sleep, so just hang on.

Rainbow Bridge and very hot hours

Wednesday, September 19^th

Finally Odaiba was visited. To get there I had to use the Chuo Rapid Service Train for Tokyo until Shinjuku to change into the Yamanote line driven the southern direction to drive to Osaki. In Osaki the chosen line is the Rinkai line with Tokyo Teleport as the target station. When I was at the right track a train was standing there which had the color of the Saikyo line (dark green) but it didn't departe so I checked the train and also asked someone in the train, wheather this was the Rinkai line, it was – the Saikyo line ends at Osaki and becomes the Rinkai line to Shin-Kiba – so I took it.

At the Tokyo Teleport station I got off, I was wondering, when I arrived this station, because it was to quiet in there to hear it and the stations were only shown in japanese, but I was right and so everything was good. My first target was the Odaiba Aqua City a shopping mall, so the exit on the right had to be used. Within 5 or 10 min I arrived at the mall, passing the Fuji Television building.

The first shop I tried to visit was the e-Capcom store, I found it almost instantly, because it was at the same floor, that I entered. They had a diorama of all yet released Monster Hunter Figure Builder figures – there were all areas of MH3G shown. The shop was small but awesome, so many different Monster Hunter articles and also the decoration, they had an armor of Jinouga. This was a costume, that was used at the presentation of Monster Hunter Portable 3^rd, I asked so many things about the articles, which were offered in the e-Capcom web shop, that I felt a bit like bothering the 2 employes.



In the end of this I went out to the beach of Odaiba. Althought Odaiba is an artificial island the beach and the sea doesn't look that artificial, it just looked like a beach in the middle of a town, and that's what it is, but artificial, because they regrained landmass from the water. I made some beautiful pictures and wasn't even at the water itself. After walking around I reentered the mall again to look around any further and to eat something, there were some restaurants, e.g. Burger King and some other japanese restaurants, that didn't seem to be so delicious, so I decided for Subway... and met there 2 other German guys. This ended up in a smalltalk about made experiences. I notices that there almost only western stores so I went out to the beach.




Because the temperature was very hot, I could step into the water til my knies, it was really very refreshing. It looks like all the other people at the beach were wondering, why I went into the water, but I didn't care, it just felt pretty good. I went along the beach until I reached the Rainbow Bridge, which connects the Shibaura and Kaigan - very near to Hamamatsucho – with Odaiba, so I started to take a walk over the southern path of this bridge, which offers a good view of the Odaiba Kaihin Park, Aqua City Odaiba, the Fuji Television building and other.

When I finished this path (round about 1,5 km) I wanted to go to the Rainbow Promenade – I thought this would be shopping street – but went back to the bridge, because the northern and southern path of the bridge is this promenade. At the Capcom store I bought a small towel, which was very helpful some minutes later. In Japan almost everyone carries such a small towel (20x20cm), to use it when they're sweating or to cover their mouth, because of many different reasons.

When I started to walk back to Odaiba the sun down has already started, so I had to hurry, because I wanted to take some pictures of the beach. That means I had to “walk“ 1,5 km within 5-10 min, so I ran over the nothern path, as fast as possible, taking some short stops to take photos of the skyline with the Tokyo Tower in the background and also the new Skytower, which I think is higher than the Tokyo Tower. At every small stop I had to use my small towel. I didn't think about the weather and the temperature and just ran to take pictures, so I was sweating just a bit...

When I finally arrived at Odaiba again the sun was already gone, but I noticed that wouldn't have been a normal sun down at the beach, because there's no traditional horizon after the water but the skyline of Tokyo, so there was no need to hurry. After that I went back to the Aqua City mall, as there was no good food at the basement I went up to the upper floors, where I noticed a Red Lobster restaurant, where I ever wanted to eat a lobster, so I took one, because I was hungry and very interested in this taste, so even a price of 4.800 Yen was OK.It was worthy and tasted so delicious, can't describe it.

Now there was only one thing left on my list, the giant Gundam Statue near the Tokyo Teleport station. It was a bit tricky to find it, because I didn't imagine, that it was so close to the station, it's in front of a nother shopping mall, I took some photos and also made a funny video. It was already late right now so I went back to the station, because I had a long way to get back home.

Being back home again I was a little bit nervous, because it's only one night away until Tokyo Game Show. I had to get up very early so I went sleeping very early. I didn't have any problems doing this, because the day was very long and I was very tired. As my Nintendo 3DS counts every step, I had round about 20000 steps for this day, so I fell asleep after a short time.

What will come next, which games will be presented at the TGS, how nice and polite will the promoters will be and how good will their english be, You will see, in the next entry of “Is there really a need of speaking english at an international messe?“

A new episode of...

September 19^th 2012

Here it is, the new episode of: “Planning and not doing it, but therefore something completely different“, maybe this time I need another title, because I managed to go to Odaiba, Yeah, it was so awesome but I'm so exhausted for 3 days, that it's hard for me to right the articles just on time, but hopefully I'll have the time tomorrow after TGS to write at least 2 of the pending ones, but until that time I'll give you some pictures of Odaiba Rainbow Bridge and other Tokyo stuff for now, I hope you enjoy.

Tomorrow I'll write a bit more, I promise.
