Ashu – I’ll definitely tell you about it c: From the sounds of things, it’s fairly hard to buy any of the limited edition items (otherwise I’d totally offer to try and get ahold of any of the limiteds you might want ^^; )

Vinetabris – Yaaay, another gashapon fan ^_^ The’re so addictive @_@ (As in Mandarake xD)

Matisse – it seems to be open until 9.20 according to Google http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.butlers-cafe.jp/&prev=search :)

Hiya Ashu – I’ve asked Lanny to move my reservation to the free day and mentioned hoping to go with you guys (it can’t hurt if you do email them as well? ^_^; )

Apparently it’s easy to get from Nakano to Swallowtail, so depending on the reservation time we can always go before/after c:

BeaslyPod – Darn, I’ll be at Dolpa then I’m afraid :( It doesn’t end until around five, but I’m not sure if I’ll stick around until the end or not (so not 100% sure when I’ll get back to the hotel) :(

[Otakugirl]

Ashu – I can’t recommend him enough! I just love his work – particularly his horror anthologies (though his better known works Uzumaki and Gyo are still pretty awesome)

Amaya – I’ve been doing the same! Did you try putting the site through google translate? It kinda works a little bit ^_^;

BeaslyPod – Myself and Sara are both land only! ^_^ I’m getting there a few days beforehand, but I’m heading to an event that morning so not sure if I’ll be back in time :( How early are you getting to the hotel?

Vinetabris & Ashuu – Swallowtail + Nakano on the free day sounds AWESOME! I can’t believe that there’ll be fellow Junji Ito fans ^____^ *is so easily excited* -_-; Have you looked up the website for Nakano, Vinetabris? they have some amazing shops – and as Ashu said, the more the merrier c:

(aaaaand I’m sorry for using peoples usernames rather than real names -_-; *is too lazy to search through at this time of night* ^_^; )

Matisse – the renting one is about 400yen a day (I’m hoping it works with my iPad or iPhone! Didn’t think to check :s )

Ashuu – if you go to Nakano on the free day do you mind if I tag along? I freaking LOVE Nakano (I really want to see if they still have the Miku Volks in stock~! She’s been on their online store a few days so I’m hopeful ^_^; Plus I want to see if I can find any Junji Ito books of sketches ^___^) and I don’t think it’s on the main tour this time :(

What figurines are you after? :)

Is anyone else kinda excited about the different BL cafe? I’ve found a few reviews and it sounds fun ^_^

[Otakugirl]

Is anyone watching any particular series or films in preperation for the tour?
I’m awful at keeping up wth current series ^_^; But I’ve started Bento (it just came out int the UK ok DVD) as well as Kitchen Wars online, and Assassination Classroom. Trying to rewatch Black Butler, Outan Highschool Host Club, gravitation,and Gundam Wing before as well – Along with a load of Studio Ghibli @_@ Oh oh – and ‘loves greatest first romance’? For the first time. It seems like a really sweet and funny BL aeries ^_^

Does anyone else have an older or more obscure fandom or pairing they’ll be keeping an eye out for character goods / manga wise? I’ll be trying to find anything Gundam Wing related ^_^; Duo+Treize = <3

[Otakugirl]

Is anyone else considering hiring a wifi router for Japan? I’m a bit nervous about getting lost – particularly on any free days before/during the tour ^_^;
Has anyone done it before? Is it worth it, or did you not really use it? Or can anyone recommend any good tokyo apps for maps/getting around?

[Otakugirl]

Oh oh – Matisse – there’s one in Tokyo as well! http://hacostadium.com/tokyo/

[Otakugirl]

Matisse – I have to read that manga now! O: It looks gooood ^_^

O_O That cosplay place looks AWESOME! O:

[Otakugirl]

Ohmahgawd Volks have a dolls party the date the tour arrives! *flails* I MUST GET TICKETS. *runs to try and figure out how on the english site*

…

I don’t suppose there are any other BJD fans on the tour? xD

[Otakugirl]

Oh and also – thanks for the info on the whisky, Lanny! Much appreciated c: I didn’t spot that last time in Don Quixote – I’ll make sure to have a closer look next time c:

[Otakugirl]

ocicatsy – I really want to see Naruto live as well! Not sure how/where to get tickets though :(
Awww, Moomin cafe looks amazing! O:

[Otakugirl]

Not sure if anyone else gets Film 4 (I know it’s a UK channel, but I don’t know if it’s available internationally) they’ve got their Studio Ghibli season showing at the moment ^__^ Just incase anyone else is planning on having another look back at their favs before visiting the museum next month ^__^

[Otakugirl]

Sara – that sounds great! :) I’ve booked another tour in the evening, but I haven’t got anything booked during the day yet ^^ Do you know when your flight is due in?

[Otakugirl]

Zo – I totally know that feeling! I’m still debating with myself dresses over more practical clothes. Last time I brought a couple of nicer outfits with me just in case, but went with practical most of the time. Dresses weren’t always such a great idea with how windy it was last time -_-; (but it was spring, so it may not be as windy for May? o: )

[Otakugirl]

@kendrawesome – That’s great to know :) I thought I might be the only one as sake seems to be the more popular gift of choice. We’ll have to compare notes if we find anywhere good ^_^
