Meidocafe and, of course, moar Akihabara <3
Akihabaraaaa! (stupid truck)
First stop, the popular chain maid cafe, @home cafe
4 floors of meido-action. We just went to the first floor
See see no touch!
I have to admit, better than the Gundam cafe (in both taste and looks) – probably due to the Moe-moe-kyun! spell
You get called up on “stage” to get your picture taken with a maid (in exchange for money of course)
Mai meido et moi
The disappearing neko
If you got the set, you get a membership card and a box of cookies (is it just me or does that look like Hayate?)
Played around at the Hey arcade
Under Night In-Birth, the next French Bread fighting game post-Melty Blood Actress Again Code Current. Looked pretty good but I was too pansy to fight the Japanese guy across from me so I just watched.
Here’s some gameplay video of Mr. Mysterious Nihonjin on the last boss (lots of background noise, since we were in the arcade fighting game section)

Kido Senshi Gundam: Senjo no Kizuna, aka Gundam pods. I played some last year and while somewhat fun, way too low resolution and awkward controls ; /
Beatmania IIDX corner
jubeat, the rhythm game that I fell in love. So many 100 yens spent on this, mostly playing “Only My Railgun” and “PonPonPon”
First attempt at Only My Railgun (6)

First attempt at PonPonPon (7) – by the end of the trip I could full combo this (but still came in last against local players, QQ)

Vstone Robot Center, what paradise!
Radio Kaikan! (new building beside the old one)
Floor 1 rental boxes
Different stores on all floors
Azone store on F6, took lots of pics ^_^
My favourite in the entire store
Gamers, home of Di Gi Charat!
There was a special display for the upcoming Code Geass and Idolm@ster prize figures
More Gamers
Kantouku loli
Ramen break!
SEGA arcade
Also enjoyed some MaiMai, though I found its scoring system way too lenient ; /
Miku itashi spotted! (no good pic though)
Got to end the day with some desert of course!
Stay tuned for more Japan Akihabara goodness!
