Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Tosa Novmichi From Maywa Denki demo’s his Otamatone. It was fun and exciting to see the creator of this toy instrument give a fun demo to the folks at GR2. We’ve been carrying the other products like Knockman, Coron, and the rest of their products practically since we opened and then here he was in the flesh rockin’ out.

That's Nao below, he's been here and there on this blog. But he took me to a place that has perhaps the most celebrated eel dish ever. It's a small spot and they specialize in just eel. Nishimura...

I want one of those at home. This spot was in Matsudo, near the Goodsmile offices. That’s Junko and Aki, two of my favorite people in Japan.
