Mirai Music
Have not really talked about it much before but I produce lounge music together with the Japanese group called vividblaze where the tracks have been used on all seasons of the TV Show Culture Japan.
We decided to put together a CD with all those tracks and so the album Mirai Music was born. We completed production of the CD mid last year but only found time to get it onto the distribution networks of late.
Folks outside of Japan can order the physical CD from AmiAmi for 3,150 yen. If you are not bothered about having the physical copy then you can buy on iTunes where you can also sample the music.
If you are feeling broke then do a search for "Mirai Music" + "vividblaze" + "mp3" on Google or Youtube and download it for free ^^;
First photo is of the whole package which as you can see comes with some nice booty.
The following videos contain music from the CD.
The CD comes with a sleeve like so.
11 tracks - I sing the chorus on Mirai Mechanism ^^;
The CD includes postcards of many popular illustrators who have doodled Mirai-chan for us. As the CD went to production last year however, the set does not include some of the latest illustrators like Iizuki Tasuku.

Mirai in Summer school uniform by Mikeou-sensei.

Mirai in her Solar Marine uniform illustrated by Piromizu-sensei.
Mirai in her Aqua Skin swimwear by Refeia-sensei.
Mirai in her Summer school uniform by DMYO-sensei.
Remove the CD from the sleeve to find the bog standard plastic CD case.
Design of the CD with a Moekana Mirai by Ikkyuu-sensei.
The booklet contains artwork from the Mirai Millennium universe.
Lyrics contain original Japanese language and romaji so that you can sing along to and learn Japanese at the same time.

And here is the front and back of the booklet opened up.
Photo taken at an interview a while ago - vividblaze members Miho to my left, Okano to Miho's left and to my right is the guy who interviewed us ^^
And just to recap, the physical CD of Mirai Music is available from AmiAmi (shipping in a couple of weeks time), digitally on iTunes and Amazon or if you are feeling broke then search on Google sensei for the mp3 to download for free ^^;
If you want to use any of the tracks for videos that you make and distribute then feel free to do so at no extra cost ^o^

Big Chief offers life-like 1:6 scale 10th Doctor figure
Doctor Who is one of the few shows out there where you can watch for six years and still be considered a newbie (or whatever clever name Whovians have for it). That's me. I've been watching since the series launched in America on Sci Fi Channel back in 2007 and still have much to learn about the series and its 50 year history. But I know I'm in good company. For me David Tennant is my Second Doctor instead of the 10th and I'm sure for others he's the first. Makes sense that Big Chief Studios would choose the 10th Doctor as their third release after the 11th Doctor and Amy Pond. This might even be the best looking of the three!
The 10th Doctor figure is nothing short of amazing! The sculpting is incredibly life like, capturing David Tennant perfectly. Not the most exciting expression, but it fits. His signature pinstripe suit is nicely fitted and even includes his familiar trenchcoat. And there's no shortage on accessories! Sonic Screwdriver (both open and closed), eye glasses, 3D glasses, pocket watch (both open and closed), psychic paper wallet, squirt gun, eight interchangeable hands, a light-up base with the Gallifreyan number 10 on it, and a TARDIS backdrop are all included.
The figure is limited to only 1000 numbered pieces worldwide and only available at bigchiefstudios.co.uk with releases expected in July for £169.99. Good news is they ship outside of Europe and those orders won't be charged taxes bringing the price down to £141.66 (currently US$223.82). It isn't cheap, but you're definitely getting your money's worth!

Akihabara in the Winter
The Japan in the Winter theme continues and today we take a look at the first place that I went to when I first visited Japan - Akihabara! Akihabara is another spot that you certainly want to stick onto your visit list when in Tokyo. Its filled with Electronics and everything anime and otaku. For those who are wondering - this photo article explains how Akihabara became what it is today.
To get to Akihabara, get off at Akihabara station on the JR Yamanote line.
Back in Akihabara during my 3rd(?) visit to Japan - t'was in 1995. These are what eroge looked like back then ^^;
This is how you know you have arrived at Akihabara station - when all the billboards become moe-fied ^^
Going to leave you with the rest of these photos as I continue to try and get through the backlog of posts that I owe you ><
These photos taken before Christmas by the way.
The following photos are of the Hokousha Tengoku [歩行者天国] where the main Chuo Doori street is pedestrianised on a Sunday.
And you can check out what Akihabara looks like in the Summer!
A list of the Japan in the Winter photo posts below.
And a list of Japan in the Summer posts listed up below.

THIS PERIPHERAL LETS YOU PLAY DS GAMES ON YOUR WiiU
But there’s a catch: it isn’t real. Too bad.
Sure, Nintendo could just put the DS back-catalog on the eShop, but there’s all kinds of legal licensing hoopla associated with that. It’s a shame Nintendo would probably never put out an awesome little device like this since it could potentially hurt the sales of their handhelds.
But then again, they DID come out with Super Game Boy and the GBA Player for GameCube, so maybe there is hope.
