Stormtrooper in Tokyo
Some months ago I discovered Dannychoo.com, a really cool blog that teaches about japanese otaku culture, idols and life in Japan. On of the most weird-interesting things is that the author of the blog has a Storm Trooper armor, and he wears it not only at events but also as a normal suit.
It happened that I had the honor to meet Danny Choo in the real world and accompanied him to a “trooping session” around Tokyo. It was really funny, weird, interesting to see a Stormtrooper walking around thousands of japanese people, inside the train, inside shops… I loved when tired Japanese people walking without energy looking at the floor, would walk just next to DannyChoo/Stormtrooper without realizing. Just after some seconds they feel something weird and they look up startled at that Stormtrooper that is walking next to them, smile and take a photo with their mobile phone. They got a smile and a photo they could show to their friends and family.
I took lots of photos, here are some of them:
Can you imagine the face of this guy when he entered the train?
Notice the people taking photos from the other platform.
Funny face 
If you don’t have enough, Danny Choo was on Japanese TV this friday an you can see the TV show online.
More about Japanese sex clubs...

They love people from space, people in dreams, people in films… do they love people from outside?

Very nice! I’ve thought about joining the 501st Legion when I can afford to build a proper uniform. It just looks like a lot of fun.
I’m enjoying your blog a great deal.
