That is a lot of yen. His Suiseiseki sold for even more (!) and his Miku broke 100,000. The artist’s website can be found here.

A maid-staffed beer garden, “Tenkuu Gofuu Maid in Beer TENKUU” (god what a good name) has opened on the rooftop of the Nishinippon Shimbun Kaikan in Fukuoka. They’re hoping that the maid and butler theme will suit the 400-seat beer garden better than the previous “Horror House” theme, somewhere to the tune of 200% increased sales. “Welcome home, goshujinsama” will bring us all out of this recession, I’m telling you. Just look at the guy in the blue shirt in the picture at the original link!

Maid in Beer TENKUU also has themed drinks (the vodka-based “Moe Hammer”) and food (tandoori chicken named “Oshioki! MAID PUNCH”. It’s all you can eat and drink for 3800 yen a man and 3500 a woman, so come hungry!

In a little self-admitted publicity stunt, an editor of Square-Enix’s web manga magazine Gangan ONLINE convinced someone to actually print and bind a 3507-page magazine to demonstrate just how much manga and light novel you can read on their site every month. It’s um, a lot. (akibablog link, thus nws)

The Eva 2.0 team is teaming up with NTT docomo and selling NERV tie-in phones. A few mockup pictures behind the first link, but more design details to be announced shortly. The base model of the phone it’s based off of is $600, so be prepared to spend obscene amounts of money to own this thing. Or to buy two, one for your 1/1 Rei figure and one for you!

Mainichi reports that Minamihankyu Kyokudo, a Japanese kodan storyteller who tells stories about Gundam, has begun his second big tour of Japan, retelling Gundam’s One-Year War. (Ramba Ral’s attack retold by Kyokudou)

He’ll be performing about once a month in the Tokyo and Osaka areas, is doing a show on the 23rd in Yokohama, and is looking into Sapporo and Fukuoka shows, so check it out if you have a chance! Or just watch his youtube videos, they’re plenty cool. Also, in case you were wondering, he is classically trained, and can do traditional stories, too!
