Apricotsushi Shops: Sailor Moon Merchandise

4 / 23 / 154 / 23 / 15

Welcome to Apricotsushi Shops, a new series where I highlight cool Japanese products I’ve found in my travels and the all items I’m currently pining over on my wishlist! Sometimes I’ll focus on a specific theme, and sometimes I’ll share whatever I can’t get off my mind, but one thing’s for sure… You’ll want to hold onto that wallet!

I think I have a Sailor Moon problem. I’m not even watching the new anime, Sailor Moon Crystal, but I can’t stop looking at Sailor Moon merchandise! For someone who grew up with the series, the recent revival is everything amazing you didn’t get when you were a kid (well, if you were a kid like me living in the middle of nowhere, USA). But, not all Sailor Moon merchandise is created equal. Today, I’m going to show you the cream of the crop!

Amazon Japan Trick: How to Import Manga for Super Cheap

3 / 31 / 1511 / 8 / 15

Amazon Japan can be a little intimidating for importing Japanese products, but it’s also has some of the best deals on books and manga. On top of that, recent decrease in its international shipping costs means that you can get a packaged shipped anywhere in the world faster and cheaper than ever. But did you know that you can get virtually any number of Japanese-language manga shipped for just $10.50? I thought it was too good to be true, but I can confirm that it works. The secret is buying manga lots!

Ten volumes of The Rose of Versailles and a magazine for only $54.42 shipped! (and it arrived in two business days!)

Chic Pixel Plus 2014 Live Holiday Special

12 / 25 / 144 / 22 / 15

You may have already caught this year’s live holiday podcast special when it aired on my YouTube channel, but if not, here’s a version to listen to on the go! Join me and Elliot Gay (@ryougasaotome) as we discuss the holidays, being home in the US, and our favorite games and anime of 2014!

 

The first four minutes of us chatting as we waited for viewers to show up has been cut from the podcast version, but otherwise this is exactly what you’d hear if you watched the stream (which you can still do if you’d like to see our smiling faces). It was a lot of fun doing a live stream for the first time!

I hope you have a wonderful holiday, no matter what you celebrate, and Chic Pixel Plus will return, hopefully better than ever, in 2015!

Opening ♫ – Kimi Janakya Dame Mitai – Masayoshi Ōishi
Closing ♫ – database – Man with a Mission feat. Takuma

Doesn’t this bowl from @thepresentcondition remi Doesn’t this bowl from @thepresentcondition remind you of Ranking of Kings?! 👑👑 It’s a secondhand Japanese melamine bowl my good friend in Brisbane found for his new market stall and online shop! The Present Condition sells second-hand retro kitchenwares, vintage linens, and kitschy bric-a-brac. If you’re in Brisbane, they’re at Kelvin Grove Village Markets every second Saturday. Check out their page for some really cool second-hand finds! #gifted
