http://prom.ameba.jp/100426_lawson/



A store same as reality! There are virtual goods vending machine and NPC of mascot character "Ponta" at the storefront.





Ponta is Kawaii!(Cute!) Not only the design but also the motion is very cute!



We can buy a fashion items and food items with the vending machine. Food items(Roll cake and Japanese-style fried chicken) are reproduced items sold in the reality world. We can revitalize a special motion when we feed an avatar these.



I wanted to eat a genuine hood when I watched virtual food :)

Japanese night life Virtual world "Xacariva"

On April 15, Japanese startup plus one company launched "Japanese night life virtual world" Xacariva.



https://xacariva.jp/

Xacariva is the virtual world that reflected "the night of adult" in all such as a world view, virtual item and avatar action.





Start spot is busy streets(like a Kabuki-cho, Tokyo). There are various shops there.




At first let's buy clothes! It's fashion store "B&G" here.




Next, buy hair and make-up items in beauty salon.




Next, go to the beauty clinic too. Do you make cosmetic surgery?


I whitened a color of the skin.


There is the tanning salon too. But not necessary for me.


It's kyabakura "papillon" here. kyabakura is Japanese hostess clubs. It's the coined word that composed kyabar (cabaret) and kurabu (club). Hostesses are known as kyabajō.

We can become kyabajō here. But, unfortunately the visitor did not come...
Secret chat is possible only with two people when sit down on a chair.

There was host club else, but there was not a host and was not able to enter. (Too late-night what logged in!)

It's only adult olders than 20 years old that can log in to this virtual world. We can purchase the virtual currency for a credit card and electronic money.

This recently opened, and there are few contents, but a design is excellent. There was not the virtual world of the specific motif in Japan so far (Why?).　I expect it in this Xacariva.

Good-bye, Edo-Castle in Second life

There is Japanese community called "EDO" in second life ("EDO" is a old name of Tokyo).



This community reproduces scenery of EDO (Tokyo) before Japan becomes the modern nation.

The most splendid scenery is Edo Castle.



Now, Edo-Castle becomes the palace of Japanese emperor. It's a very big building, but bigger than now in old days. Edo-Castle encountered the damage of the large-scale fire in old days.
This community examined ancient documents and completely reproduced Edo-Castle before the fire. It's a very splendid works! !



Because it was a splendid work, used as material by a history TV program.




In addition, a lot of not only the Japanese user but also overseas users visited here, too. And a Japanese popular song singer and a rock band held a virtual show here.



But, unfortunately this community is closed by April 30. what sad!

Please visit this community. And please see the sights a lot, take a lot of photo & video.

Reality or non-reality is not an important problem. The most important problem is "fun or not fun" and "Kawaii or not Kawaii" ("Kawaii" means Cute and Lovely in Japanese).

Welcome party

Yesterday, Welcome party of Avatar Reality President Mr.Kazuyuki Hashimoto was held in Shibuya Pink Cow.

Avatar Reality administers beautiful graphic virtual world "Blue Mars". The Japanese users are increasing, but there is not yet most.

About the 3D virtual world, Japan is an backwards Country. Most Japanese don't think the 3D virtual world to be important. And they still convinced that "the second life is shit". To make matters worse, the media doesn't report the correct information.(Even IT media!)

Of course Hashimoto-san is a Japanese with the former technology development charge operating officer of the square, but there are still few Japanese users of Blue Mars.

I wish Japanese Blue Mars users increase. 


By the way, there was the participant who brought iPad.
He had decorations artist do the decorations of apple mark in Swarovski Crystal. I think that it's the world first  that Swarovski Crystal was glue to iPad. The scene was streaming by Ustream.

Is there the hobby to decorate a gadget abroad?  The work of decorations artist "Kiss you" is very cool.

Kiss you
