66 Doraemon statues have recently shown up in Roppongi Hills, each one of them with a unique different face expression. If you are coming to Tokyo this Summer you will get the chance to see them if you come before the 24th of August.
These are my photos of the Doraemons at Roppongi Hills, always happy!

The Garden of Words (言の葉の庭), is one of latest movies directed by Makoto Shinkai. For my liking Makoto’s movies are too romantic and slow. His only movie that I enjoyed was 5 Centimeters Per Second (秒速５センチメートル).
What really fascinates me about his movies is their artistic aspect, the scenarios are usually based on real places around Japan. Sometimes the artwork is so good that it’s not hard to confuse it for real photographs. These are some captures from The Garden of Words and the photo with the real place they are based on. All the action of the movie is set inside or around the park Shinjuku Gyoen.

Last Friday we went to Harajuku, when we were arriving I saw in a map at the station that there was an Evangelion store in an alley parallel to Takeshita-dori (Exact location in Google Maps). We had no idea there was an Evangelion store in Harajuku so we decided to check it out. In the first floor almost all the items were boring t-shirt but in the second floor there was a lot of original and interesting merchandising. If you are an Evangelion fan the visit is a must!
