5th Anniversary K-ON! Community |OT5| Please Don’t Say “You Are Lazy!”

Add to that that I don't post as much as many other people (about 3 posts per pay comparted to almost 18 per day for other people).

Back into (somewhat) topic. Do you know if there are K-ON themed umbrellas out there? I've seen vocaloid ones but mainly on Aliexpress.

I don't know if there are official merchandise of this kind of product, be either animu or vocaloid themed.

There are official stuff for some anime, but you're probably not going to find it on Aliexpress :p

I was almost totally certain about that since Aliexpress mostly sells knockoff items.

Maybe I should try sites like mandarake, cdjapan, plamoya or 399animeshop, do I?

I could be also lucky if I personally browse stores in Akihabara/Nakano Broadway/Den Den Town while I'm in Japan. What do you think?

you might as well check your otaku places to see if they have one or places like surugaya which sell second-hand(even though some may be new).

If you don't find anything there's always yahoo auctions, but since you're going in person you might as well keep that as a last resort

I was mostly interested in a Mio themed umbrella, but it may not even exist. Another one would be one with a Jolly Roger of some One Piece band, like Kaido.

Also, I don't know how difficult would be to make a custom one with heat transfer dyes. I don't have a problem designing the one with Kaido's Jolly roger, but only if there are places available to print it on an umbrella. In my country that's very unlikely since they print mostly T-shirts, caps and flat mousepads.

EDIT: what I mean for heat transfer dye are sublimation dyes.

I found one, it's apparently rare so get it now if you want it.

(was wondering why it was still up, looking at the pics there's a stain. Well at least you know what to look out for.)

I can't see where the stain is...(¬_¬)

The stain was on another picture


If it's rare I'd certainly order it. It's in the limit of what would you'd be consired a certain bully victim since the colors are plain and it shouldn't call everyone's attention so much. (It looks like those umbrellas with newspaper/magazine designs).

Guess I'm gonna take the risk (;^_^)

EDIT: Seems to be a lot more variety out there for itagasa's

Mio-Azusa Itagasa (Movie)

HTT itagasa (that site has a lot of other shows, that one is sold out though)

More K-ON ones at amiami

Compared for the first one, you gotta have steel balls for using those last ones.

That stain's just a minor detail. The price is somewhat high tough because of the rareness but it should've fallen because the stain. Maybe it did already since I've seen neat itagasa's go for 7000 yen or so.

What's a bummer is that it's a normal auction instead of a instant purchase article. At least I spotted your Old dancer T-shirt for a lower price and can be bought immediately instead of following the drag of an auction process.

You guys and your umbrellas!

If that happened to you in my country, you'd be soaked with piss smelling water and maybe pieces of shit in your clothes. (at least in more humble places)

It's a mess in many cities here because of the rain, and it's so less than another countries (we received in our capital 60mm in 24 hours and here they call it a catastrophe)

I'll tell you if I ever come across it again. That being said, I would rock the last umbrella you listed
 
no im talking about minerva

like her entire arm came off

look

LUCKILY it was simply the screw that connected the arm to the body coming out, so i simply had to disassemble the arm, screw it back together and then reassemble the arm :)

That's fortunate then.

And you should clean some. Looks like there's hair everywhere on the floor in that picture...

No I do not want gun popsicles. It's scorching today. Freaking 37 c. I went to a nearby pond to cool off. The past 3 days I was at one of the best metal festivals in Europe (Brutal Assault). I love the music but have nobody that enjoys it like me which makes it a little weird cause I'm all alone in a sea of macho and I don't look like a metal head lol. Still, there were so many artists I wanted to see that it made no difference to me.

Tooooo hooooot though. Hoot

Do you want aizu? You can have this:

You don't wanna know what it's made of...

Wait, it's not just some popsicle? I'm actually kinda curious right now.

How would you actually eat/lick that thing? That would be such a depressing sight to behold...

Daily reminder that Chiyo is a Paras, Seo is also a pokemon, one of those legendary ones that you really want but unfortunately only appears like one time.

Buy a Yui figure!

I think I'll save it up until I can do this scene in real life.

Good afternoon keions!

By the way Chet, they answered from Treasure Japan that the T-shirt should arrive in about 3 weeks to their offices, then they'd send me the invoice to pay the shipping and commission fees and then I don't know how long it'd take to arrive to your home.

So so we just have to be patient ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In regards to the blue itagasa, from what I read in katakana, it seems to be a Lawson advertising. So it may qualify as rare. I'd to wait till August 14 or 15 to place a bid and hope that I can win that auction.
