My workmate Euonymus has found these pills that help relieve diarrhea symptoms whose name in Japanese is エクトール (Ekutooru). My name, Héctor, transliterated into Japanese becomes ekutoru (エクトル), which is pronounced almost the same as the name of the pills but with a shorter “o”.

In Shibuya next to the home appliances store Sakuraya. The ironic thing is that some months ago Bic Camera bought Sakuraya and one of the consequences is that they have closed down the Shibuya store.

The same Sakuraya picture but longer into the future.

Animate in Ikebukuro is one of the largest manga, anime and otaku products stores in Tokyo. A lot of manga and video game shops have emerged around Animate that before were located in Akihabara. Many people say that the “authentic” otaku spirit of Akihabara is slowly dying out and is moving to neighborhoods like Ikebukuro or Nakano.
