Arcade Lights

It’s still just Monday, right? How dreadful~ why can’t it be Wednesday already!? I think it’s going to be a long week. It’s cold & rainy, my dishwasher was acting funky, my computer speakers have to be replaced (*they were covered but the hour long convo with DELL just to get replacements was insane*), and then today the Roomba decided to FAIL so I gotta call in the warranty on THAT too.
At least I have rain boots if it’s still raining tomorrow~~ 
All the more reason to slap together a super colorful Japan photo post!!! 
I present to you GAME ARCADE PHOTOS!
UFO Catcher!
GLOOMY BEAR
this one walks around draggin’ a mauled kid
プリクラ!!
my favorite
This was the stairwell to a set of purikura advertising the newest machines! It was especially decorated just for purikura. The rest of the stairwell was blank & boring so this was really cool

LOL @ that winter sonata one! i saw one of the winter sonata tv ads once and that was cheesy too =_=;;;
I’ve always wanted to try those UFO catchers!!!
I saw this jpn show about them once, apparently there’s techniques to get them and those who are really good can pick them up with just one try! :0

TELL ME ABOUT IT. How is it still Monday?? It’s so cold and dreary…ugghh…And I totally know what you mean! When my computer broke I had to call Dell, and then when they sent it back to me they messed up other things so I had to call to have it sent back…each time it takes at least an hour–sometimes that long to get someone on the phone! It’s ridiculous. Urgh. But as always, your cute photos cheer me up! xD
Oh, about the pixel girls–I KNOW! So addicting–that’s why I had to make two at once. xD I wish I lived in the sparkly pixel world, too…Even the poo is cute.

Wow - so many photobooths!
I love the ones where you can write stuff on the screen
I’ve always liked that scene in Lost in Translation where Scarlett Johanssen just walks around to a Kevin Sheilds song looking at the crazy gaming light party around her.

All I can say is “Aaaah!” Because that was really my reaction to these pictures ^__^ The UFO catchers have great goodies in them!
October 28, 2008 @ 2:26 am
i heart this layout
I saw those UFO catcher things when I went Japan.. I wanted to try them out because the prizes look wayyy better than the ones we have haha. It doesn’t looks like it’s something from $1 store >: O!

How’s Japan?? Bring back any snacks with you? Hahaha. Oh that reminds me, in my Dreamweaver class we have to do a newsletter site on a candy store based on our month. So, seeing as you just got back from the homeland (lmao…
, got any ideas? I was thinking pocky and some hard candy. Haha. I dunno,
October 28, 2008 @ 4:10 am
My god. I want everything in these photos, especially the booth plushies!
October 28, 2008 @ 5:38 am

So many cute things. I would have gone wild!!!!
I’ll have to drag my brother over with me. He has a unnatural ability to win any arcade game.
Is that a rilakkuma washcloth I see!?!
I wish we had more purikura over in the states.
^-^

Japan is amazingly colourful. I think the first time I go there, I might have a seizure from all the colours! LOL XD
I should get a perm like those 2 girls up there. Afro- style!
Good luck with all your warranties! Companies are so hard- assed about living up to them *sigh*
October 28, 2008 @ 12:39 pm
It’s cold and rainy here too. I wish that it would clear up and we could have fresh clear days.
That arcade is really cute, you took great photos of it.
October 28, 2008 @ 2:01 pm
wow.. never seen so many purika machines in my life!!! all the prizes from the arcade is so cute too ;_; i want to play!
October 28, 2008 @ 4:49 pm
I love those things! They always have the cutest stuff!
When I was in Akihabara, I saw a man, probably in his 30’s-40’s in an arcade attempting to win a girl’s school uniform. It was really awkward when he caught me staring at him. D;
My friend spent over $10 trying to win this giant blob thing. She finally got it though after a thousand tries! When she won it, one of the employees rushed over to her took it, and bagged it up for her. It was like they had been waiting or something, haha.
October 28, 2008 @ 6:30 pm
Ah! D: …… I wish they had more purikura machines here … TT__TT
lol @ Winter Sonata
October 28, 2008 @ 6:55 pm
Just WOW.
Everything is kawaii to the max where I feel like I don’t deserve to look at it.
October 28, 2008 @ 7:07 pm

It’s still raining and is cold
October 29, 2008 @ 4:22 am
