Everyone, Hi! Its Miki here!

Everyone, do you know about Akihabara? Akiabara is Japans number one place for electronics shops and its commonly said to be the holy grail for Otaku.

By “Otaku” I mean people who know about one particular thing very well or people that immerse themselves in something. This is used both for both good and a bad meanings.

In Akihabara there are a lot of Anime Otaku. In “Denkigai” (electric town), you can see lots of people dressed up as Anime characters.

At the terminal in front of Akihabra station, I’ve seen ridiculously (loudly) dressed girls singing into a microphone. In many cases, surrounding this are nothing but Otaku guys… And everyone dances together to the music. Their dance isn’t very complicated but everyone’s enthusiastic and in time with each other.

In Akihabara, there are lots of maid tea houses. Maid tea house staff are all dressed up (cosplay) and all cusotmers are their husbands. When entering a shop, instead of “Welcome customer”, they say “Welcome home husband!” (in very honorific language). Like regular tea houses, you can drink and eat but the menu at maid tea hoses is a little expensive I think.

This is part of Akihabara’s Otaku culture. At other places I don’t know of, I think there are more amazing people.
Otaka means someone who knows a lot about something or someone who immerses themselves in a topic.

Do you (everyone) have something you know a lot about? Something you immerse yourself in?
Please teach me about your own Otaku’s.

Well, See you next week!

ま、日本語の勉強に没頭してるから、オタクかもしれないかも知れないなｗ

それで、ネットでよく見るのは「オタク」を「ヲタク」と書く人は多いのようだ。

なんでだろう・・
理由があったら分かる人に教えてもらいたいな。

Jpodのユーザーの中でメイド喫茶に行ったことのある人はあるんだろうか。
