Robotoooo

We all know that someday we might all have to live underground and fight robots, but for now I just like how this little robot here walks and jumps.

The way it waits for a command also kind of reminded me of Astro Boy (Atom).

Autumn scenery.

Everybody loves summer, but yesterday really made me pulling for autumn – or fall for our American readers.

I just couldn’t resist to take some photos of that beautiful scenery of multicoloured leaves and the setting sun while I was on my way to my grandparents. These pictures were taken with my iPhone and I’m surprised, they turned out that good. I only edited them for size. Feel free to use them for whatever you like to use them for. Hope you’ll enjoy them…

Frankfurt Fashion City West

Hey, today we went to a little event called Fashion City West in Frankfurt am Main.
It was a sunday we had nothing else to do and a little time on our hands, the event was free and so we thought we should drop by and give it a quick run.

 Frankfurt Fashion City West

The only interesting thing at this fair/trade show was probably the booth of Freebase Records/Sneakers and we got the chance to check out some of their newest Nike quickstrike releases including the Parra Air Maxim 1+ and the Cassette Playa Dunk High, shoutouts to Robert of Freebase Sneakers at this point.

Check out the VLOG.

Extra shoutouts go out to Frankfurt Fashion Blog and Dick und Doof Pizza ;).

peace,

Confusion in Tokyo (Part 2)

Here I have to say that Andi’s Passmo Card, an IC card that you charge up with money and can use to take the JR line without fiddling around with coins etc.,  was just not working at all.

Its way more convenient if it works and I’ve got to say that it usually works pretty well but in this case Andi’s (theballatician) card was showing weird errors for the second time and didnt let him charge it up, therefor was not accepted anymore.

Watch him being confused in Tokyo in this second installment of Confusion in Tokyo!

Spongebob 400% Medicom Toy

Last time in Tokyo I bought a few of the latest series (18th)  Bearbrick’s by Medicom Toys and luckily got this little character.

spongebob medicom Spongebob 400% Medicom ToyIts the 100% Spongebob x Medicom Bearbrick

I think because of the popularity that Spongebob has in asia, Medicom Toys decided to release a 400% version (approx 28cm high) of the Spongebob x Medicom Bearbrick.

spongebob squarepants medicom toy bearbrick 400 1 Spongebob 400% Medicom ToyWould make a perfect decoration for any Spongebob fan.

Colette in Paris stocked a few of those but as always they’re sold out quick.

Another funny Elvis Bearbrick design just to compare the size between 100% and 400%.

SOUR: Water Flavor EP.

Since Chrishimself turned this thing here in a video posting blog (just kidding of course, but you really should check out those last posts by him….), I also wanted to join the fun by posting this music video featuring a song by Japanese band SOUR from their mini album ‘Water Flavor EP‘, done in webcam-conference-style (if that wasn’t a word before, now it is!).

And in my opinion it’s done in amazingly creative fashion. Now is your chance to watch it finally.

Teaser

Heres a little videoteaser of what I am currently editing, between all the interviews and other random stuff that I recorded in Tokyo (and theres alot to record) I thought I should edit this little “sight seeing” video of the shibuya station area in Tokyo.
I hope you enjoy it and you might give Tokyo a little visit if you havent been there before, I’m sure its worth it for everyone :-).

Go to this link to watch it in HD on youtube.
