Went shopping today at Yokohama and only had my iphone with me. Here are a few shots from some shops I couldn't go past without checking the goods. Looks like it is going to be a good year for Rilakkuma, Gachapin, Mameshiba and Ghibli.

Plenty of Ghibli here for everyone.

  2. auTAKU

    Me too! I have a small grey one and a larger blue one. I love their "fur", it's much nicer than the standard material that you find on most other plushes.

    NEKOBASU! This brings back highschool memories.

    My favorites. I have a smal Jiji cat from Majo no takyubin, but Totoro is No.1

  12. shibuya246

    You are welcome. They are easy stores to wander into, hard stores to pull yourself away from :)

  13. shibuya246

    I bought this one.

  14. shibuya246

    I have this Jiji at home.

  15. shibuya246

    :) Keep an eye on your letter box in the next few days.

    A never ending money hole. I think I might need to make a Gacha machine ;)

    So cute!!!

    How do you move the notes around on the photo?

  20. shibuya246

    There is no edit function, so you have to move the note before saving. When you hover over the photo you can see the "Add Note" button in the bottom right. Click on that and the box to add text appears in the top left corner of the photo. You should be able hover over that box, click the left button of the mouse and move it. You can enlarge left and down. Tell me if there is a problem. I will be upgrading the annotate note system after I get back from Yokohama. Need to test it a bit more first. :)

    I love this fluffy Rilakkuma.

  22. Irit

    This one is adorable! :-)

  23. shibuya246

    The material is nice and silky soft on these. They do a good job of making great products.

  24. shibuya246
