One of my goals is to visit all prefectures in Japan, and each of their capitals. This post is meant to keep track of how many I've visited so far. I've sorted them by alphabetical order. First up is Aichi Prefecture, and it's capital Nagoya.

Cave Matsuri 2008 "Rakuen Baby"
Cave is a Japanese gaming company focusing on shoot 'em up games, more specifically "bullet hell", for the arcade gaming scene. The fan base is not that big, but very devoted, so every year since 2006 (I think), they have been holding festival days once or twice a year. Basically they sell limited goods, not available anywhere else than at these festivals, show new and modified games, and have a talk show. First years it was held at the top floor of HEY in Akihabara, the game center next to Club Sega. But the venue is very small, and there were simple too many fans who wanted to line up and buy limited goods. This was the first time they held the festival at a bigger place - Akiba Square, close to the station. The event was held August 15, 2008.

Handshake Event - Everyday, Katyusha
So when a new single comes out from AKB48, there's a theater version of it which you can preorder within specific dates. When you place that order, you get to choose a member to shake your hands with for 10 seconds for every CD you buy. You also get a pciture with each CD, which people will trade at the event. We'll get back to how things works later on. The events will not always be at the same location, but for the last events, they've been shifting between Tokyo Big Sight and Makuhari Messe. This one was at Tokyo Big Sight, spread out on two days - July 3rd and July 10th. The next one, for Flying Get, will be at Makuhari Messe.

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8
Finally decided what do with new camera gear, and decided to stick with my current body and for now just get a new lens. So today I got the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. Shooting wide is fun! Not satisfied with photos yet, but I'll guess I have to take it for a proper photo walk soon.

Arriving in Japan
I've arrived safely in Tokyo. Much of it went smooth, but a few things bugging me that I won't rant about here. It usually feels like that the first day, because I am always tired and easily annoyed. The next day I have forgot most of what annoyed me.
