An exhibit for the movie 1989 movie GUNHED was held in Akihabara last weekend. Apart from the aggressive marketing push that it received from Manga Entertainment outside of Japan in the early 90’s, this movie is best remembered for its titular mecha which was designed by none other than Shoji Kawamori.

Unlike most exhibits in Japan, photos were allowed at this one, so I went all out...

The latest in the series of temporary ‘Oshare Macross’ stores opened at Shinjuku Marui Annex today.

With a decidedly Valentine’s Day theme, this new Oshare Macross also featured a sneak peek at the packaging for the upcoming Macross Frontier movies Bluray box set (with the art for the extras disc being a temporary placeholder), some new Sheryl and Ranka art (art-cards & tapestries), Macross-themed cakes and cookies, and even a hidden Hidetaka Tenkin-signed valkyrie. Oh, and the Decul-CHA (Cha = tea) pun was finally taken to it’s logical extreme with the introduction of Macross Frontier-branded tea.
Oshare Macross will be held from Feb. 01 to Feb. 22 on the 6F of Shinkuku Marui Annex.
