I have a question.

Why blur passerby's pictures?
I will not abide ignorant intolerance just for the sake of getting along.

It's oden not udon

Oden in a can would actually make some sense. But I think you'd get something more tasty and fresh from a 7-11.

Ah Akihabara, I can't wait to get back to buy some more ero.

Not to be the otaku on this thread but the blur they use is from, Ghost in the shell: Stand alone complex; season 1.
The on going case is called "the Laughing Man" with out giving away too much. Because most people had cybernetic brains, they could be hacked. This was often done by a hacker who would use them to be assiins, his trade mark was to hack people and some way control the camera so the persons face would be covered by that particular blur "I thought what I would do was, I'd pretend... its actualy a famous quote that has been slightly edited. Its a clue in the story.


Seems it was covered in the first post lol. I am sorry.

Thanks for the explanation- I was baffled. I don't plan to do this to my own street pictures, though. :lol:

You dont have to, the photography club I am in said that if you take a picture with more than 5 people it is considered a landscape and you really dont have to cover up anything. Its a good rule if you want to take pictures of schoolgirls lol...

Dear Abby,

What I can't seem to understand is the connection between th S/M girl, the porn, rocket propelled jobies and ODEN. Is there something about oden that I have been missing in all these years in Japan? Should I be ordering it by case lot?

That was a very interesting video. I've been to Akihabara over and over but I've never run into any of those anime weirdos. I guess I must be shopping in a different area. But oddly enough, I have seen that Peruvian band that appear in the end of the video, they played a street festival here in my hometown in Iowa. Those Peruvians sure get around. And they sure sound good.
