Its been a year since Google's Chrome browser launched in Japan and I was invited along to the birthday party in Aoyama yesterday to celebrate with a load of industry folks including Good Smile Company, Sega and TBS (K-ON).Here with the big boss of Good Smile Company - Aki-san. And what is Good Smile doing at a Google event? Google first met up with Good Smile Company at Tokyo CGM Night 1 and have been doing great things together ever since. They previously worked on the Google Android and today the Good Smile Company theme for Google Chrome was announced.Artist Themes project where artists and license holders get their very own Google Chrome theme.Secret tip: The Mac version of Chrome is not officially released but if you use the developer build of Chrome Mac then you can use the themes.Once you have downloaded Chrome, go to the Themes page and just click to install - completely painless. The background of the GSC theme looks like this.And they have a K-On! Theme too. Video below introduces the Artist Themes. Tenori-On Chrome theme too. Tenori-On is a device invented by Yamaha which lights up and pusates to the touch. It plays music and games - video below may (?) give you a better idea of what it is. Steve Nagata and you can see more photos that he took last night at his Flickr..Toei animation have their own Chrome theme too.Some Toei cute character goods.Folks waiting to be branded with a Chrome tatoo.My man John Fu at who manages marketing at Google. John previously lived in the US and had the opportunity to spend a few years in Japan. Before he came over, he googled some living-in-japan terms and came across dannychoo.com.John contacted me shortly after he arrived and have been good comrades ever since.Apart from John, there have been folks at Disney Japan, Apple and many other companies who have contacted me just after relocating to Japan upon discovering dannychoo.com through a search.If you are somebody who is thinking of or already has relocated to Japan then get in touch and we'll hook up if I'm not being swarmed by killer camels.Good Design Expo press event ^^;Another Google Girl.One of the rooms had a load of presentations going on filled with press and industry folks.Would probably make a good venue for Tokyo CGM Night.Ion canon control. Figma Mirai project.Aki-san and Akiyama-san take their turns with the Chrome thingy.As with most networking events in Tokyo, there is the paper, scissors and stone battle otherwise known as "Junken."Me not good at these at all and hardly ever win anything. Know folks who win all the time though.Finishing speech and then its time to head out to do some filming.As always, armor is jettisoned at the entrance and left there until the morning.And a peek at whats lying around on the desk from the Chrome party. This is a Hatsune Miku x GSC x Google strap - only a few hundred were made.And yes - I got a bunch just for dannychoo.com readers - will announce giveaways soon.This is Aki-sans new business card! Must be a pain to carry around a bunch of these though ^^;And this is what it looks like on the back.Our Google Chrome passes for the night.And a bunch of business cards to get through - luckily its a public holiday on Monday which will give me time to catch up while most businesses take time off.

A loud neighbor- A clip from Fuji TV of a loud drunk man caught on camera as he walked around his neighborhood shouting threats at his neighbor: Bakemonogatari Nendoroid-set 1 comes Bakemonogatari Nendoroid Puchi set 2. Included this time round is Suruga Kanbaru, Mayoi Hachikuji and Nadeko Sengoku. South Korea punishes more minor lawbreakers- The Chosun Ilbo reports about a Korean politician who felt the need to compare punishment statistics of minor lawbreakers in his Nendoroid Pouch- This is really kawaii and quite useful. Didn’t thought that they will produce a pouch that is specially for carrying Good Job Mio-On! I Approve!!! ^^-
