I'm going to Ikea in Funabashi to get my Christmas tree.  ikea got definitely the best deal in Tokyo: 2000 yen for a small tree is 10 times cheaper than average cost down here!

Merry Christmas!! Today I went to Roppongi Hills for the Artelligent Christmas to watch the beutiful illuminations on Keyakizaka Street, drink Gluh Wein  and buy some new decorations at the Christmas Market. Tomorrow I will head to Akiba to buy some presents!
Oh oh oh!! Merry Christmas!!

I just found out that also the cult Akiba shop M's Pop Life Department got a great selection of sexy Christmas costumes. (old "sexy xmas" post here). M's is my favourite audlt shop in the world. What makes this shop unique is that it has been created to attract  sukebe oyaji like me but also couples interested in discovering new ways to have fun sex. The Japanese artist Mizuno Junko has collaborated with several project produced by M's (actually I think this kind of collaborations are way cooler than the "traditional"  marketing projects made by KidsRobot or other so called streets brands). 
If you don't know this Akiba sex temple you should take a look to this  great reportage by Akibamap (translated by Sweat Pink blog).

As announced in this post the japanese cult label Vap has released a "compilation album" (for the 150th anniversary of Jingle Bells ) with the collaboration of some of most famous Japanese otaku artists like the new Akiba Superstar Aya Hirano (wiki)  "Love Gun" from Death Note and Lucky-Star. I'm in full Christmas mode playing  Christmas Nights on Sega Saturn so I started browsing japanese shops for the perfect sexy Christmas costume like the one dressed by Japanese companions...











More costume here...

We are again in the time on the year when we stop downloading japanese porno from Javtalk and we take the dust off the Sega Saturn to play once again Christmas Nights... This year is a little bit special since the Christmas anthem Jingle Bells is celebrating the 150th annyersary so the japanese cult label Vap on 28th November will release a "compilation album" (translated page here) with the collaboration of some of most famous Japanese otaku artists (like the new Akiba Sperstar Aya Hirano (wiki)  "Love Gun" from Death Note and Lucky-Star).
The cover has been created by the Japanese "Horror Comedy" genius Ren Oshikiri (if you can't access the page outside Japan you can try this proxy) who works for the weekly magazine "Rude Rude" and has illustrated many tankobon and CD jackets.


(from wiki)  JINGLE BELLS

Dashing through the snow

In a one horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on Bobtail ring (Or Hear our voices ring)

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to laugh and sing (Or What fun it is to ride and sing)

A sleighing song tonight

(chorus)

|: Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way;

Oh! what fun [joy] it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh. :|

Although less well known than the opening, the remaining verses depict high-speed youthful fun. In the second verse the narrator takes a ride with a girl and loses control of the sleigh:

A day or two ago

I thought I'd take a ride

And soon Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side,

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot

He got into a drifted bank

And then we [we—we] got upsot.

|: chorus :|

In the next verse he falls out of the sleigh and a rival laughs at him:

A day or two ago,

The story I must tell

I went out on the snow,

And on my back I fell;

A gent was riding by

In a one-horse open sleigh,

He laughed as there I sprawling lie,

But quickly drove away.

|: chorus :|

In the last verse, he picks up some girls, finds a faster horse, and takes off at full speed:

Now the ground is white

Go it while you're young,

Take the girls along

and sing this sleighing song;

Just get a bobtailed bay

Two forty as his speed

Hitch him to an open sleigh

And crack! you'll take the lead.

|: chorus :|
