we went to a maid cafe today in akihabra. the premise is that otaku pay to be cared for by maids. some of the group had a problem with this, but honeslty, at least this is one instance where feminized care work, which is almost universally "unpaid" work "outside" the "real" economy, is actually recongized as productive wage labor that is an essential part of the "real" money economy. ...you know, along the lines that a full-time stay-at-home housewife produces work that is worth about $134,000 a year...

the first is a picture of the sega building, one among many branded retail centers devoted to otaku culture.

today we went on a tour of akihabra. now, after the otaku murders last month, the city has put the "walking paradise" (i.e., parade of cosplaying otaku) on hiatus until at least september. that said, it was still a.total.sausage.party. the only women i saw were either maids, clerks, or girlfriends.
in the otaku skyscraper, there is a huge figurine store where they have several different sizes of optimus prime, and a decent (but smalish) megatron. i am totally going back for optimus - it's only like 20 bucks for the 6" figure.
now, the space invader artist also apparently has some artwork up around tokyo...i need to locate and photograph some of that.
