/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Shut the fuck up maggot

run or yakuza get you

>>9395563
I'm a foreigner, they love foreigners.

There are only Koreans in Pachinko parlors

Op here, should I go to a maid cafe? I speak as much Japanese as a 4 year old native except I can't read kanji

>>9395607

I'm making myself believe you're actually in Nippon just for shits and laughs, also because I feel genuinely helpful.

Anyway, go to the places that welcome tourists, also, where exactly are you so some of us that actually know a little about the area could help direct you.

>>9395628
I'm in akihabara. Name an object and I'll take a picture of it, if you don't believe me. Unfortunately, a storm Serena to be brewing and I have no waterproof to protect my phone or slr.

>>9395649

Here's an easy one, take a picture of the Crossfield Complex, you know the Akihabara Dai building and the UDX building? Take a picture of the Crossfield Complex with your hand somewhere in the photo, then I will believe you genuinely.

If you have no idea where the Complex is, just take a photo of something with your hand somewhere in frame.

>>9395666

>>9395675
Take some more pics of just stuff man

>>9395556

When in doubt, always follow any signs that have iDOLM@STER.

>>9395675

Take a picture of a Maid.

They love that shit.

Buy prostitute.

>>9395556
Take a walk toward ochanomizu from akiba and you will reach this place.
Bunch of /jp/ anons took a picture like this from the same spot.

>>9395675

Alright, I believe you haha. Well, where exactly are you looking to go? Looking for some place to eat or some place to check out for fun? I've only been to Akihabara maybe once with a friend last year, but I remember going to this "Gamers" place that sells all kinds of neat stuff.

It's on the roadways to the left of the Akihabara Station, oppisite of the "Radio Market" if you know what I'm talking about.

It all depends where you want to go, haha.

Find a mado scientist

OP, go to a 2ch meetup. It will be fun.

>>9395607
you can try out @home maid coffee , some of the maids speak even english little , they have a few floors hat all have different style and maids.

They will even give you a english paper for instructions and everything if you cant read Japanese.Anyway you have to pay per hour for your seat and taking photos costs extra but if you order something like a drink I think you can take a photo with a maid for free or for something like 200 yen

>>9395696
Thank you for the help, it's raining like fuck, I just played a game of maimai, the song was carameldansen. I think I was being made fun of by the locals, what's a polite way to invite them to play at my expense?

>>9395734

Why are there Portuguese subtitles there?

>>9395737
>carameldansen

Casual.

>>9395739
don't know , I just saved the image
probably someone took it from a youtube video with Portuguese subs

>>9395737

Hahah, that's great, no problem! My Japanese is terrible, so I couldn't really give you an answer for that, maybe you could gesture for them to come play, give them some cash and welcome them over to where you're playing. Locals can be nice if you show them you can be nice as well.

OP, go find a group of about 6 people outside the front of the HUB bar. Directions:

http://www.pub-hub.com/shop/akiba/images/map_b.gif

If you know Japanese just tell them Anon sent you, or show this message:

この人は「秋葉にいるんだけど何か楽しい遊びないか」的なスレを海外の掲
示板(4chan)に立てたので、2chのオフに参加してみるように勧めてみた。仲良
くしてやってくれぇー

(This guy posted "I'm in Akiba, anything fun to do?" on a foreign message board (4chan), so I suggested he check out a 2ch meetup. Please show him a good time!)

You really should go. It will be fun, trust me.

>>9395790
As magically special as that would be if it worked, I'm going to have to pass. Thanks for trying.

>>9395812
It actually seems legit, I googled HUB to see if he was tricking you into getting punched out or something, but HUB is an international bar or something.

also google translate says
Threading an overseas bulletin "Do not play something I'm happy to Akiba" This man
I stood in (4chan) 示板, I've encouraged to try to participate in off of 2ch. Nakayo
Give 'em a comb ー ~E

>>9395812
Aw, you're no fun. Really, you should go!

>>9395812

Well, you could go to one of those @Home Maid Cafes as someone suggested before if you're still looking for some fun.

The @Home Maid Cafe I'm thinking about is up the road past the Radio Market and the Akky place, the road that leads to the Suehirocho Station, it will be by Don Quijote to the right, which also houses AKB Theater.

Have fun!

HUB meetup is at 7 people!
http://toro.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/offevent/1340457574/

GO OP YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.

Why don't we ever have a /jp/ meetup

I ended up meeting a cute couple and playing a couple of games against them, naturally, they thrashed me. I think I'll call it a night, thanks for all the help but I've got tickets for the Ghibli museum in the morning.

>>9395812

The @Home Maid Cafe is on the 5th Floor of the Don Quijote market building, if you're wondering.

Also, I wouldn't bother going to the meetup. It would most likely be pretty awkward, might as well go off and do things on your own where you can experience Akihabara by yourself. Unless, you're the kind to roll with a pack.

>>9395876

Oh that's fine. Hope you had fun at Gamers, happy to help!

>>9395880
It'd at least be fun for a picture or something, even if the OP can't speak any Japanese. People at 2ch meetups are pretty chill.

But oh well, if OP doesn't want to go I guess it can't be helped.

>>9395888

He's got tickets for the Ghibli museum in the morning, as he said, no time for a meetup that would only exchange in awkward conversation and interpretation.

>>939588
Op here, fuck it, I'm going, I'll check back in 40 minutes.

At least post a picture waving goodbye, OP...

>>9395903

He deleted his post, but report back and tell us how it goes. Don't be out too late!

Take pictures if possible!

>>9395914
No, he just accidentally deleted one of the 8s.
But yeah OP, good luck!

>>9395963

Clumsy me, didn't notice. Anyway, I'll probably be monitoring the thread for a while longer, I'd love to see the outcome of this meetup after already helping out a little.

About to board the Shibuya line ETA, 2240, local time.

>>9395997
There is no Shibuya line?

>>9396005
Gonzalo line for Shibuya

>>9395997

Yes, where exactly is the Shibuya line around there...?

>>9396030

Ahh, gotch'ya now.

>>9396030
Fucking autocorrect Ginza line

>>9396041
Just in case you are the OP and you are trying to get to the HUB, I meant the HUB in Akiba, not Shibuya. Check the map:

http://www.pub-hub.com/shop/akiba/images/map_b.gif

>>9396041

I guessed, haha.

>>9396064

Oh, shit. That may be a bit of a problem for OP if he's already departed.

Anyone in Kyoto? ;_;

>>9396064
Right, I've screwed the pooch. I'm giving up, sorry guys.

>>9396092

Not that I know of.

>>9396102
Crap, I'm sorry, I thought you'd find the one in Akiba since you were in Akiba, it didn't occur to me that you might go somewhere else... ;_;

>>9396102

Well, hope you had a bit of fun tonight anyway. Hope we were all a bit of assistance!

>>9396115
You certainly were. If it wasn't for you guys I'd be back at the hotel now with my thumb up my ass. Is there anywhere anyone would like a picture from tomorrow night?

>>9396130

It certainly was a pleasure, I'm planning on going back this winter to meet some old friends in Akiba.

I would love for you to check out one of the @Home Maid Cafes around the area and snap a photo of one of the cute maids, haha.

>>9396154
I'll see what I can do.

>>9396160

Thanks, bro, I'll keep a look out for one of your threads, maybe around the same time tomorrow?

>>9395628
Why are you using a name and trip?

>>9396221

Because I'm allowed to under the board's rules and regulations.

>>9396221

Either because

- he wants to be e-famous for being "that gaijin in japan who goes on /jp/."
- some people are interested in his blogventure

>>9396227
I don't like lies, Chris. Tell me the truth so I can be honest with you too.

What self respecting person in Japan would identify themselves as 外人?

I just like being treated like any Japanese person. ;_;

>>9396250
And by "identify" I mean choosing it as a name for themselves on internet message boards..

Go to gas panic and get laid. If you have enough cash on you that is, since gas panic is expensive as fuck.

I consider myself 外人 because, well, that's what I am. I am an outsider to Japanese culture, always ill be. The thought that one can just assimilate into their culture is just flawed, for one would always be an outsider no matter how well acquainted they become with said culture. Sure, I've been to Nippon a few times, but I will always be merely a Gaijin, a tourist who loves the country and the culture and some of its products.

I'm using this name and trip personally because I prefer to be distinguished/separated than to be among a group of anonymity (basically, you could say I crave attention, whatever you make of it).

There, you have my answer.

>>9396267
Please drop your trip.

>>9396267
>I prefer to be distinguished/separated than to be among a group of anonymity

``I'm not, in fact, much a fan of anonymous imageboards'', Chris continued wistfully, ``which is why when I found out about an anonymous imageboard called Four Chan, I knew I had finally found somewhere I belong''
--actual transcript from an interview with Chris the Gaijin ("n _n), voted best tripcode user on /jp/ 2012

>>9396211
普通は何人ぐらい行くの？

どんな雰囲気かになります

>>9396272

>>9396280

It is not strictly an anonymous image board, the 'Name' field is there to be used if wanted. I could care less if you frown upon it.

>>9396267
Thank you for admitting how pathetic you are, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to see people admit they have no reasoning to name/trip besides their own and their parents' failures.

I would appreciate it if you didn't use a name unless what you are contributing to the board would be unable to be contributed without your name.

>>9396298

Okay then.

So you do actually care?

>>9396295

The 'Name' field is there on innumerable epic forums on which you could be posting about your wacky gaijin exploits in wacky crazy XD Japan. By contrast 4chan is unique in that the 'Name' field is allowed to be left blank. A site with a unique feature like this is clearly designed around this feature, which 4chan is, and so when you go against it you are intentionally going against the sentiment and sensibilities of the majority of users here. Aren't you a special little snowflake.

>I could care less

So you could care more? Well, good, go away and think about what I just said for a while then.

>>9396267
> The thought that one can just assimilate into their culture is just flawed, for one would always be an outsider no matter how well acquainted they become with said culture.

It's always the people who understand things least going around parroting off lines like these.

>>9396280
>>9396312
Thinking is overrated :--D

Hey faggot gaijin.
Are you still gonna be in japan next month?
I need someone to go to comiket on friday to get me some stuff. I will of course pay you back on the following comiket days.
Sadly I cant go on friday because it is a fucking working weekday.

>>9396340

OP left the thread to get rest, not sure how long he's staying in Akihabara either.

>>9396286

Hey, I might be able to help you out.
Leaving the computer now, but lemme know what you need, and I'll get back to you in the archive or in another thread I guess. (I assume there'll probably be a /jp/ meetup thread come comike time.)
