It’s been a long time without any new video. But last week, after Youtube Mix I went to Shibuya with DannyChoo and this is the result:

Category: Otaku
Yesterday the Japanese prime minister resigned. Abe will not be anymore the prime minister and will probably be substituted by Aso, a man who declares himself as a manga and anime fan. He reads around 10-20 weekly manga magazines, he did political speeches in Akihabara and he is a Rozen Maiden otaku. He likes so much Rozen Maiden that his nickname is “Rozen Aso”.
Reading Technorati News I found that since yesterday manga and anime business related company stock prices are rising very fast, because having an Otaku prime minister is good news for them. Examples of manga and anime related companies benefiting from “good” political news are: Mandarake, Ghibli, Kodansha, Shueisha, Bandai, Toei animation, Gentousha etc. An otaku is gonna govern the second most rich country in the world!
“Rozen Aso” will probably be the next prime minister in Japan.

Uchimizu
“Uchimizu” is a Japanese tradition in which you have to sprinkle water on the floor. The main purpose of this tradition is to refresh the ambient during the hot summer.
How to “uchimizu”. From uchimizu.jp.
My grandmother does exactly the same back in Spain, she usually sprinkles water on the streets around our home. In Spain we also have “Uchimizu” !, the difference is that Japanese made a tradition from it, they named it, and they even have festivals where the main purpose is to throw water around you.
Dannychoo went to one of those Uchimizu festivals、it was a special festival because all the participants had to be wearing meido uniform. Normally, you are supposed to wear more traditional clothing, like “yukata” or “jinbei”, but in Akihabara you can except anything:
