Cool and silly products found in Akihabara:
1. Maid Figure
2. MOE T-shirt
3. Akiba-kei Jersey
1. Maid Figure
Fiercely
popular figure dolls.
As soon as they were in the market, maid cafe otakus rushed into stores
and bought by the whole-sale box, and the figures instantly disappeared
from the shelves.
There were four different kinds of maid cafe dolls for sale in January,
which includes: Pinafore, CURE MAID CAFE, and Mai:lish. The price is
630 yen for each.
The picture on the left is CURE MAID CAFE's one.
Manufacturer: BANPRESTO (Japanese)
2. MOE T-shirt
Saying
"Moe" in the center, the T-shirt is used in a TV drama broadcasted
nation-wide.
Great souvenir for otakus visiting from overseas.
Bought at Zakka
Man (Japanese) for 680 yen.
The shop is right in front of JAM AKIHABARA. See the Map for
directions.
3.
Akiba-kei Jersey
It
says "Akiba-kei" (Akiba style) on both sides.
"Akiba-kei" is a word originally for geeks roaming around Akihabara
looking for computer games, anime DVDs, or circle mangas. This is
completely different from "Shibuya-kei", which reminds people of
cutting-edge fashion and cool music.
I love the combination of the MOE T-shirt and this jersey.
Bought at Donki Akihabara shop for 2980 yen.
