A Trip to the edge of Tokyo

Oct 12, 2006 16:43

I myself live in the very edge of Tokyo :9 and so I expected it'd take quite some time and money to get to the other end but it only took an hour or so to reach Asakusa. Yep, being the Edokko Tokyoite I am I had never been to Asakusa oO; It wasn't as magical as I imagined... once a place is established as the most visited must-go tourist spot, it ( Read more... )

Gamera is really neat
He is filled with turtle meat
We belive in Gameraaaaaa

I love DaiKaiju. Your post has inspired me to watch on of my DVD's when I get home from school. Maybe Gappa or the American Godzilla :)

It's weird you post about this area, my friend Kenji at school was just telling me about it because he thinks I'm silly for wanting to visit Nerima ^^;

*stares in awe of the mighty Golden Poop* o_o

those lyrics are from a show I LOVE called mystery science theatre 3000. Have you heard of it? Is it by any chance in japan? It's been cancelled for a while, but it was a WONDERFUL show where a Janitor and his 2 robot companions were forced to watch these REALLY BAD movies as part of an experiment by a mad scientist and his assistant to take over the world. They orbited earth in the "satellite of love" (It looked like a cartoon dog bone, honest!), and watched these movies by the scientists to find one BAD enough to break their wills. With the ultimate bad movie, the mad scientists would release this horror on the world to conquer it. It never worked. Joel (the janitor) and the robots (crow and tom servo) were like COCKROACHES! Their snappy comments to really bad movies bouyed their spirits and kept them from breaking ( ... )

Thank you for the links! Now that you've got me curious, all about the science theatre show and the satellite of Love (lol nice naming) and the replaced lyrics... I must research these links. And it used to be your fave series? 8D
OwwwWW roaches, I must look into this thing and face my fear XD
Sounds like something I'd grow fond of 8)

yes, it was brilliant! Is there any chance that they show it in japan? If they do, you HAVE to see it!

I didn't name it (unfortunately), Best Brains did (the people who made mst3k). The name Satellite of love, comes from a Lou Reed song.
Don't be afraid of the roaches! I meant that joel and the bots were strong LIKE cockroaches! As in they could not be conquered or broken, not that they WERE roaches! (laughs!) nothing to fear about...
I think you'd like it, it was a WONDERFUL show!
