秋分の日(shubun no hi) - Autumn Equinox Holiday

Posted by Unknown at 9/24/2014 0 comments

Here's a conversation I had with my colleague from Japan last week:

Me: Why Tuesday was a public holiday?
K: I don't know.
Me: Why you don't know? You are a Japanese, right?
K: But most Japanese don't know too.

So I asked Google instead and Google had yet again never disappoint me.

The moral of this story is - GOOGLE knows best!

Summer Fashion – not all useful things are boring

Let’s face this, we Asians in general, are obsessed with fair and lovely skin. The mat salleh find that weird, but who cares! However, among us Asians, I would like to bow to the Japanese for doing everything their already fair and lovely skin… in style.

This summer, let’s sneak into Tokyo Disneyland to take a peek and maybe learn one or two tricks from them to protect your skin from harmful UV rays in style.

Before taking pictures

Insert token or scan your arcade card. (Depends on which location you are in)
Before you start your photo shoot, the kawaii narrator of this purikura machine will tell you which Rakugaki (editing) Corner (Black corner or White corner) your photos will be sent to after the session.

Taking pictures

Insert token or scan your arcade card.
Editing corner instruction (Rakugaki Corner) will pop up at the beginning. It tells you which way to go, whether to go to Pinky Girl corner or Purple Girl corner. So you have to remember.

Purikura Tips: Avoid Something Green

Posted by Unknown at 5/27/2014 0 comments

Baju warna hijau, seluar warna hijau dan apa sahaja pakaian yang warna hijau adalah THE BIGGEST NO ketika berpurikura (-_-)

Ini semua penting bagi mengelakkan PURIKURA EPIC FAILED apabila anda terkejut dengan kualiti purikura, complaint dan menyalahkan mesin purikura yang tidak berdosa (mungkin bukanlah the biggest failed sangat, lol)

Seperti yang kita maklum, layar hijau (green chroma key compositing) adalah suatu teknik yang common dalam dunia fotografi. Berfungsi untuk menonjolkan objek utama sekaligus melakukan blocking terhadap latar belakang supaya mudah untuk diedit atau dihilangkan dan diganti dengan gambar lain.

Bijo Cosme – kini di Fahrenheit 88!

Sewaktu LR dapat tahu Sara and the gang berjaya bawa masuk purikura ke Fahrenheit 88, LR rasa eee… bestnya! Akhirnya, purikura sekali lagi menakluki salah satu lokasi paling “panas” di segi tiga emas Kuala Lumpur, (macam over jer… lol). Kami juga telah menguar-uarkan lokasi terbaru di Kawaii Pix.

CP Akedo ---> Parkamaya (tingkat 4), Farenheit 88

Memandangkan office kita orang terletak berhampiran… dengan Fahrenheit 88, so LR luangkan masa untuk melawat kawasan dan menyibukkan diri.

Bijo Cosme setia menanti… heee <3

Purikura – Di sebalik Tabir

Posted by Unknown at 3/14/2014 0 comments

Dalam artikel yang lalu, kami telah ceritakan serba sedikit bagaimana kami bermula, membawa purikura masuk ke Malaysia dan memperkasakan lagi kawaii pop-culture yang disuai padan dengan identiti budaya kita sendiri.

Actually, untuk memperkasakan dan mengekalkan tahap populariti purikura di Malaysia ini bukanlah sesuatu yang mudah. Banyak cubaan dan sentimen yang terpaksa dilalui.

Dan dalam kesemua halangan yang ditempuhi, hanya Sara dan rakan-rakan lebih mengetahui. Kerana merekalah yang menjadi tulang belakang dalam usaha menempatkan purikura di hati rakyat Malaysia. Ewaaahh :)

Jadi, bagi memastikan kondisi purikura sentiasa terjaga dan dalam keadaan tip top, pihak Kaga Amusement Malaysia sentiasa menjalankan pemantauan dan pemeriksaan meliputi kerja-kerja pemasangan, menservis, membaik pulih, pengiraan dan penghantaran stok.

Cute sisters xoxo

It's our last day at work before our long break for CNY (for non Malaysian's sake, its an abbreviation for "Chinese New Year").

Since LR hasn't tried the new purikura machine that just arrived in MetroPrima mall, so we decided to go there to take some photos. (Yes, lots of makeover happening in our locations currently)

Yes, the lighting in here is definitely better.

We took pictures in Bijo Cosme and LOVE the effects!!!

Let's spread some CNY spirit with purikura too!

Have a properous horse year, kawaii peep <3

Last but not least, I would like to wish you Gong Xi Fa Chai and may your fortune grows without limit.

New Year… New Experience!

Posted by Unknown at 1/14/2014 0 comments

Pada 11 Januari lalu, LR berpeluang mengunjungi 2014 Japan Club of Kuala Lumpur New Year Family Day. Atau dalam bahasa yang lebih senang… Festival Tahun Baru 2014 yang dianjurkan oleh Kelab Jepun Kuala Lumpur. Festival ini bertempat di Jalan Taman Seputeh dan hanya mengambil masa 10 minit sekiranya berjalan kaki dari stesen komuter Mid Valley.

Festival ini juga dikenali sebagai Shōgatsu (正月) dalam Bahasa Jepun dan merupakan sambutan yang wajib diraikan di Jepun. Orang jepun mempercayai bahawa tahun baru yang disambut dengan baik dan betul akan menjamin kegembiraan dan kemakmuran di sepanjang tahun itu. Dalam kata lain, ia merupakan satu peluang untuk memulakan kehidupan yang baru.
