Aimi Eguchi's truth is finally revealed.

The truth is finally out.



SUre, 90% of Japan already kinda knew that this whole Aimi Eguchi thing was a huge marketing campaign.
Some poeple even came up with very plausible theories that "Egichu AImi was made as an April Fool's joke by AKB. However, because of the earthquake, they had to postpone it.
But they invested so much money into the whole joke that they decided to just run with it in June.




ALso the setting was very obvious all along.
name- Eguchi Aimi 江口　愛実
江崎グリコのアイスの実

her catch copy- 私はあなたえを愛すのみ。

birthday- same as the company foundation day of Ezaki Gkico, the sponser of the Ice cream advertisement.

Favorite spot- track and field, the logo of Glico

Her interview comment upon joining AKB48 - I would like to learn and incorporate the best parts of all the current member tand make it my individuality.





Whatever the underlying politics that adults had to deal with behind the scenes,
I still thought it made Japanese a little bit more interesting.

Now people are having fun building their own versions of "EGUCHI".

Providing fans to reasons to stare at aall AKB members to look for the perfect facial feaatures....
Thats good marketing dont you think?


FAr all things AKB48, please send inquiry forms from Buy4uJapan!

NERV calculators. Must be super advanced technol

an a huge Evangelion fan.
If I see anything Evangelion, I just have to buy it.
Although these days I do try to control myself because the recent remake of the movie series has sparked a new surge in releases of eva merchandise and if I buy everything, I will be bankrupt in a day.
( Even as I write this blog, I am wearing my eva x UNIQLO t-shirt that I use as my pajamas.)

Anyways, I find these calculators in a book store in a Business building.
Not akiba, noe shibuya, but in a business district business building.






Both come with original straps to put on the calculator your phone.


If you are an Eva fan and are looking for Eva merchandise, visit Buy4u Japan and send us an inquiry form and I will personally make sure to assist your evangelion shipping.
Of course, and other anime and manga requests is very welcome because Akiba is just such an fun place to be!

Evangelion x Hakone X TOYOTA event to be carried

Since I am already on the topic of Evangelion, I will add an extra info post.

As many Eva fans know, Eva is set in Hakone city in Kanagawa.
As a part of their tourism marketing, they are recreating Tokyo-3 city, the city Evangelion takes place in.

In March Hakone, Eva and TOYOTA were planning a huge event featuring Prius since it is a car that works on electricity.　
Prius has been named the official car of NERV, and to commemorate this they were holding this event ceremony in the local junior high school building, where Shinji, Rei and Asuka would have been going ot school.




My guess is that they were going to reenact the "Yashima Project", the pin-point sniping of the Angel Ramiel's core with a positron sniper rifle powered on the entire electrical output of Japan.

Unfortunately, this event was postponed indefinitely sue to the 3.11 earthquake.

Currently the official website shows no updates.

However, I recently saw in the news that they are planning to bring back this event in July, with new and upgraded contents.
All proceeding from this event will be used to aid the 3.11 survivors.

So, I will keep you updated here for more info.
But Seems like its a pretty exciting idea to visit Hakone, do the stamp rally, then visit Fujikyu and look at the real live scale 01, visit the monolith room, read Rei's book, and stay the original Eva room.
