Why is the fun stuff only in Japan... <sigh>

As to the kimono... Doubt they have it in my size, and even if I got it, I would look redicilous in it.

Still awesome that even tho the animes are decades old by now, they're still being kept alive like this.

No doubt the Sailor Moon Crystal re-animation has to do with the keep-alive. And these yukata are designed for the height range 155–170cm (ca. 5′1″–5′7″).

Also, why does Japan get all the best Kit-Kat? <grmbl!>

Even the Sailor Jupiter? These Japanese girls are too small. We're too big. Let's send them vitamins, and meet in the middle.

A couple of decades ago, a man was given a gutted VAX 11/780. Result: The VAXbar.

Look around, and you can spot Children, Senshi, Power Rangers and other interesting characters.

I'm impressed by many of them, but the only squee I could manage was for that hunk (bare-chested, of course) sitting on some guy's shoulders.

We are Japanese, and we don't care what you think, as long as we think it's fun. I approve of that :)

Some are GOOD, some are pretty darn bad and some are just hilarious. Excellent find.

IMAO, this is definitely worth a soft squee or three, just because of the high levels of cute.

And this is so worth a chuckle or a giggle after reading of the Shibuya Baka-ness.
