We are very proud to unveil our very limited RUN FFM All Star Shirts, that were designed by @myk31 alreadyyy a few months ago. The design is inspired by Japanese Pop Culture as most of his amazing stuff is. He already did music videos, lots of video animations – even for MAESTROKNOWS & itsbongoboy and dope graphics, so you definitely have to check it all out on his – you guessed it – incredible site myk31.com.

We were going to drop those shirts anywayz as they were planned to be released for another special RUN FFM milestone. It just so happened, that these Japanese inspired shirts were printed this week, so it was a no-brainer to drop them now, because that way we are able to do our little part in helping Japanese people after the disaster, that hit them so hard last week. How?? We decided to donate all profits from those shirts directly to the Japanese Red Cross.

These shirts are very limited. You have the choice of 4 colours (black, white, grey, navy), but we only made a total of 31 shirts, that will sell for 31€ per piece (in conformity with Myk’s choice of the Ukrainian Devil’s Dozen as “his” number :D). The screen print is on Continental Earth Positive shirts, so they were manufactured solely using sustainable energy generated from wind and solar power and have an organic & very comfortable feel to them. You can read more about the shirts on the Continental EP site.

Please inquire for your preferred color and size combination via e-mail: andi@runffm.com. We are sorry, that we cannot do it over the “regular” web shop, because due to the very limited quantities there are several color/size combinations, that only exist once. First come, first served.

You can pay via bank transfer or cash. We ask you to please do so within 5 working days and please add 1,45€ for shipping to Germany (pick-up also possible of course).

As mentioned above, we hope to do our little part in helping Japanese people, that we otherwise would not be able to accomplish.

Thanks to Myk for this amazing design & him being all for the idea of donating all profits to Japanese Red Cross. Thanks to our screen printer to make this shirt possible in this small quantity. Thanks to all the supporters of RUN FFM (We are sure you’ll like this shirt). And of course to everyone, who is helping in any way possible for Japan to get back on its feet again.

By the way, on Mar, 25th all haircuts at Julie‘s Barber Shop will also be donated for Japan, so call 069 – 37304274 now to make your appointment. You should also check this round-up on Hypebeast and on WHATZOOEVER!.

Let’s pray for Japan!
気をつけて!

I had to do some stuff in Friedberg today nothing special but since I want to keep these photowalk blogs up and going I took a few snaps from today.

This is the train station in Friedberg, I like how it looks.

For such a small city like Friedberg their train station has quite alot of tracks.

Inside the train station we decided to check out the magazine stands and browsed a bit through the manga section, yes it became quite standard/mainstream in Germany so that almost every
magazine / newspaper shop has mangas now.

This one right here is like a free preview copy for you to grab, its like a taste test for the newest mangas released. I also like the dinosaur character “Gon” that some of you guys might remember
from Tekken 3 ;).

A recommendation from a friend of mine who knows the Anime “Highschool of the Dead”.

Zelda Manga??

World of Warcraft Manga/Comic ?!?!?!??! Milking the cashcow a little more now huh?

RUNFFM is your personal LOVE BLOG!

I thought this book looked interesting since its about japanese popculture a topic that I am into alot, there is alot of stuff in this book that I remember from my last few trips to Tokyo and some
who have been there might recognize alot of it too.

Tokyo Clash on Amazon.de for 14,95 Euro

Passmo or Suica card do you still have yours from your Japan trip? I still carry mine around every day lol I left it in my wallet it also still works after I have been using it every year when I am in Tokyo.

A motorcycle designed like a toilet or like a bullet train? Or the toilet designed like a bullet train? huh?

Some more regular home appliances that look “extremely futuristic”.

Everyone who has been in Tokyo remembers the toilets and those implemented bathroom sinks on top of the toilets, always thought that was a pretty neat idea but theres no place to put some soap next to it.

I think the left looks like a “Donki” or “Don Quixote/Don Quijote” its a multi level department kind of store with almost everything you need or dont need in your daily life in Tokyo, make sure to visit one of those when you are in Tokyo you will recognize them by a big sign with a blue penguin on top in a weird costume lol. Heres also a pretty cool flickr group dedicated just to “Donki”.

There are still some old style cinemas in Friedberg, with all those multiplexes dominating the cinema scene its kinda nice to see one of those still up and running.
Btw. I head that new movie by M. Night Shyamalan sucks (like his last few movies too? whats wrong thought he made good movies once)

I have this tradition that everytime I have to go to Friedberg I drive by the local Burger King on the way back lol this time I was joined by Stefan for some good “health food”.

And thats the end of todays photoblog I’ll keep you updated also make check out our T-Shirts we will also put up the white colorway online soon.

This recently released tiny book called  “The Otaku Encyclopedia” by Patrick W. Galbraith is probably the best english source for anyone trying to find out more about Otaku culture. Its small but has 248 pages full of japanese pop culture knowledge, so if you dont know what “Otaku” means you just go to the letter O and there you go “a nerd, geek or fanboy…”, its a must get for anyone who is interested in japanese pop culture!
