Three Asimo Invasion!

Posted by tokyodv in Culture, Robots, Strange, Technology

Some close-ups of Asimo’s ankle joints, tinted face shield, and knees.

The lighting was strange/futuristic and the fluid/freaky motions of Asimo made this an intriguing clip; still one of my personal favorites. Shot at one of the Robodex Expos in Yokohama, Japan.

Two cosplay Japanese girls fight on stage at an ‘erotic’ show in Shibuya. This event was a ‘tame’ show that evening; The nightmares finally stopped a few months ago..

Shibuya Paradise: Digiko Girls

Posted by tokyodv in Culture, Event, Fashion, Funny, Girls

On my way to another shoot in Yoyogi Park, I stumbled upon the Digiko Girls ‘performing’ outside Hachiko exit in Shibuya.

The sun glistened off their shiny black boots as they squeeked out their latest tune..

No one seemed to mind they couldn’t sing since they provided colorful energy on an otherwise monotonous day.

Robot Evolution: Snake to God

Posted by tokyodv in Culture, Event, Robots, Strange, Technology

An interpretation of robot evolution; reptilian, seated/upright, then bipedal. Definite cheese factor evident, but the clip was popular when first released. Some decent shots of the serpent robot, with its small spinning drive-train and ability to roll-over or climb obstacles.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Posted by tokyodv in Culture, Fashion, Funny, Strange

Valentines Day is unique in Japan; only women give gifts. (Although, there are signs this is changing). Men give white chocolate one month later; White Day on March 14th..

Why? I think it helps men avoid social mistakes of what to give to whom. Although, it mainly has to do with chocolate companies creating another lucrative holiday.

Actually, this video doesnt have much to do with Japanese Valentine’s Day, but it was released around that time. (What you see in the video is more common on Christmas; Christmas is ‘dating’ season in Japan..)

I stumbled into an adult shop and filmed some of the items on sale. Youll see magic mushrooms (now illegal), and other types of stimulants. There are also some shots of popular love hotels in Shibuya..

Sex, drugs, and love hotels.

Japan’s Coming of Age Day

Posted by tokyodv in Cars, Culture, Fashion, Girls, Phones, Report

In early January, Japan celebrates twenty-year-olds becoming adults. Coming of Age Day is time for them to dress up in kimonos, gather at the local city hall, and listen to bureaucrats tell them how important ‘adults’ are.

The new adults usually get drunk before, after, and sometimes during the ceremony since they’re now legal drinking age. They can also vote at the age of twenty, so in this clip we see some right-wing black busses shouting their opinions to the newly christened voters. The wing-nuts don’t like Communists, kissing in public, or parked cars in their way.

This Coming of Age Day is probably like any other; kimonos, rabbit suits, and big black busses..

Japanese Catfight Slapping

Posted by tokyodv in Culture, Fashion, Girls

Slap!Hhhmm.. What can I say? This is a staged ‘cat fight’ between two women wearing little clothing. The action is pretty fake, but sort of entertaining; some of the wrestling positions they find themselves in are rather ridiculous.

Lots of slapping, bending, rolling, swinging, kicking, and twitching.

The video also features some sort of creature with a beetle head and hypnotic torpedo tits.. The clip is short, sweet and leaves a bitter after-taste.. Music is also a TokyoDV creation.
