Quotations
Actually, the two times I was there, it was really quite dull in terms of the people wandering around. The most excitement I saw was that one candidate for Prime Minister giving a van-top speech in front of Akihabara station. Oh, and a demonstration of some RC "Tokyo Drift" toy cars out on the street.

"I like having conversations with different meidos," he explains, "but Haruki is my favourite because she's friendliest to me." […] Utena, a meido with pink hair and red plastic horns, recently celebrated her fourth year at Maidolce.
