Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Aya Takano is one of the best Japanese artists. Of course, she’s part of the Superflat, Takashi Murakami clan, so that means, she’s managed tightly. I’ve been a fan for a while and thankfully, she’s one of the nicest persons around. If you’re in Tokyo, you have a little bit of time to check out her show at Parco. It ends 4/24! Parco is one of the coolest places since it’s actually on the top floor of a mall type of building that’s filled with “cool” types of shops. Every exhibit has a store at the end of the show. I once saw a Robocon show years and years ago, so you can imagine the goods there. We got some too! Check it out.

We mentioned this in the magazine, but I finally will get my own Yoshitomo Nara candy container and gummies in light blue! At first I was ok without it, and it went to Wendy, our magazine’s designer, but then the rest of the colors went to everyone else, leaving me with a brown one! The brown is ok I guess, but in the end, it’s the ugliest. So now, I have a blue one! So it comes with gummy candies with the same shape as the container. The question for this $40+ item, when do you eat the candies? Limited edition all around, I almost don’t want to eat it, but in the end, it’ll just go bad… Wait, will it? It’s all sugar. The container looks sort of “just ok” but once it’s in your hands, it’s a nice item. The plastic is thick, and the container feels substantial. Even the box it comes in is cool. Get yours from Omotesando Hills. But you’ll have to go there. No shipping to the USA.
