秋葉原! Akihabara!

Ah, "electric town", though Akihabara literally means "field of autumn leaves". But as most of you know, it's where to find electronics, video games, anime and other otaku goods - and of course, Maid Cafes. I just happened to find a flier from just such a cafe called MaiDreamin I got while in Akihabara on my last trip there and the video below at the same time.




Above is a video starring Kirsten Dunst singing a cover to the Vapors' "Turning Japanese". The video includes footage of Dunst dancing through the streets of the Akihabara district in Tokyo dressed as a colorful princess. It was done for the "Pop Life: Art in a Material World" exhibition featuring Takashi Murakami who is famous for his "superflat" style of paintings.
