Club SEGA - AirHockey Extreme
Hey there,
this year I will go to Tokyo again, this year with a huge group, I spent my half vacation visit of 2012 with two of them.
I found a video on my harddrive, where we went to CLUB SEGA, where one can play arcades or other fun games. We played AirHockey "Extreme", you will see, why I call it EXTREME.
Too Bad, I lost, but maybe I will take revenge this year..., else I will beat him in another game.

Faithful until death... and even beyond
This entry is about Hachiko, a well known Akita-dog.
This statue is placed in Shibuya, next to the JR-Exit, which is also named after this dog.
Why is Hachiko (born 1923) honored with this statue? - He was faithful. Every day he was waiting for his owner Hidesaburō Ueno at the Shibuya station, when he finished work.
After the death of his owner (1925) Hachiko still came to Shibuya station every day.
This statue was placed there in 1934 while Hachiko himself was around.
In 1935 he was found dead, as he was known all over the country, his death was announced nationwide.
The original statue was made of iron and was mold within the 2nd WW because of the lack of iron.
A bronce version was placed there in 1948.
It's said, that it will bring furtune, if you touch or rub Hachiko.
Doing this video, I was surrounded by many people, because Hachiko is a well known object of interest in Japan, especially Tokyo, so I was kinda disturbing everyone, who wanted to take a picture him. The crowd had some curious sights, but that didn't bother me at all ;P.
It's also a place where many people meet.
You wanna go shopping in Shibuya? - Oh yeah, let's meet at Hachiko tomorrow at 4PM...
And one more thing, it's next the biggest crossing, the Shibuya Crossing where up to 12.000+ cross the street per period.
I think, that's the most important stuff about Hachiko and his statue - Enjoy the video.

All you need is...
A statue, a sculpture, a sign for the thing, that many Japanese want the most, but don't or don't want to show their need for it.
Even Those who have "gathered" IT won't or can't show / express their feelings, especially not in public.
The absence of this "THING", causes people, who feel loneliness, to go to cat cafés, kuddle cafés, maid cafés, host/ess clubs or any other amusements.
This sign is placed in the skyscraper district of Shinjuku (another one is in NYC-Rockefeller Plaza, but that doesn't matter), Tokyo. Shinjuku is devided into 2 parts, the skyscraper district and the amusement district.
I think I know, why it's placed in front of the Hilton Hotel in the part of Shinjuku with the high towers.
Because of the absence of this sign, the thing itself is also absent in the amusement district, but I don't think, that it's found next to skyscrapers, so it needs to be replaced, the gap must be filled.
I'm talking about the LOVE sign. In my opinion, Japanese people don't express their feelings in public, I also think many people miss these feelings, emotions and so on.
If the gap can't be filled with real love, they replace it with other things like hobbies or services of fake love.
What "fills"?
Akiba - Hobby - Figures - Otaku pop culture stuff - Hard- and Software
Shinjuku East - Bars, Clubs and further more amusement "services"
Shibuya - Shopping malls and fashion stores
Harajuku (belonges to Shibuya..) - Takeshita Dori and the Meiji-Shrine in the middle of the Yoyogi Park
and many other things
I don't know, why it's hard for japanese people to meet someone new, if their jobs are the main reason or which there are.
Make your own opinion, but until then I have a video for you.
Have fun and enjoy.
See You soon.
