i love your work !! :P <3

and i love your video's :D

[swu1381]

@TVfXQsaranghae1 Thanks!! :D I quit already though LOL

[ohlyvya]

What time does this place open? I went there on a Monday and it was 11:00 am but the door was closed.

[swu1381]

@ohlyvya Hmm... well I actually quit a month ago... but they close sometimes on Mondays I believe.. might be wrong though

[tiffanyyuriXD]

do they have sekigaisen soshin? when youre decorating? lmao

and are they americanized? like how you pay and stuff?

[swu1381]

@tiffanyyuriXD Is that a machine? if it is. nope. and it's americanized in that you have to pay with cash instead of yen and the prices of course are upped just because the machines are all imported.. they do have english instructions on the side too for those who need help o.o

[tiffanyyuriXD]

@swu1381 haha sekigaisen soshin is like when youre decorating you can send them to your cellphone. i think its like bluetooth type of thing. its wireless... idk if im explaining well haha xD

[swu1381]

@tiffanyyuriXD Ahhhh they can send to the cell phone only if it's like SoftBank or Docomo :T since they're all from Japan....

[hikarinekos]

oh fun, I never did Purikura before :x i'm not very photogenic haha and yes Mint is cute I gotta agree :3 seems like a fun, cute, and interesting place to work at but probably not forever or very long.

[peachd0ll]

BTW SKRILLEX IN THE BACKGROUND FUCK YEAH

[peachd0ll]

IM NOT PRETTY... OH GOD HOW EMBARASSING ; 3 ; ... OH GODDDD.... LOL i should do one for the shop too!

[MacaronTea]

I love purikura! Walked by your shop just the other day and I agree it's awesome. \^_^/ There was some serious music coming from in there that day too, I was surprised! :D

[swu1381]

@MacaronTea hahah ^__^ yes! we play a lot of house music just so we don't get bombarded with the machine music that'll drive us nuts!

[SurelyAsian]

[swu1381]

[mzbeautifulmess]

[swu1381]

@mzbeautifulmess hahaha I'm going to be interning for Graphic Design in San Jose for the summer... and depending on how I like it and how I do.. I may work there full time when they move to SF. I'm basically quitting so I can just expand my horizons more....

[MsCabbagex]

Ahhhhhh. damn. i wish i lived in the U.S :(

NZ doesn't have any stores solely dedicated to sticker photos~

[swu1381]

@MsCabbagex Really?! NZ is New Zealand right? I remember reading some gyaru blogs and they were from New Zealand :o

[MsCabbagex]

@swu1381 Yupp NZ = New Zealand haha ^^~ Really? Hmmm, idk, i don't really see much people in Auckland that are dressed as Gyaru or anyh=thing & i've only found ONE blog that's in NZ!! :(

All our 'sticker photo booths' or 'purikura' whatever you call them are in arcades, most of them are always out of order -____-"

[orangeyumpop]

i love purikura. I dont really see them around anymore. It's so early 2000. I love those cute pics thought.

[swu1381]

@orangeyumpop I think it's very rare that I've met someone who's tried it at Pika Pika and disliked it....

[rieishere]

Whaaaaat~~~???!! Pika Pika de hataraiteruno!?!?? I was just there last week!!! High five to the bay area folk!!

[swu1381]

@rieishere LOL! YESS I work there! kedo, I'm quitting soon... it's been 3 long years already

[maahreechan]

@swu1381 I recently discovered your vids. XD hahah good luck with graphics design! :D

[maahreechan]

You worked at pika pika?!?! I went there like every weekend when I lived in the Bay. Whaaaaat?! We couldve been best friends. :c

[swu1381]

@maahreechan hahaha I've been working at Pika Pika for the past 3 years!!

[punkinardo]

those machines revolutionize photobooths XP

[victoriaindigo]

@punkinardo exactly, they're the updated version of those old school photo booths, great concept

[swu1381]

@punkinardo YEP! They get more and more amazing.. they actually use a canon lens!

[CupCakeFace28]

WHATTTT!? You work there?? I might be going to japan town next week, I'll say hi :D

[swu1381]

@CupCakeFace28 hahah that'd be awesome! I'm actually working next Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday ^__^ not the whole day of course hahaha

[victoriaindigo]

You're leaving Pika Pika for a new job? I know you're in graphic design so are you leaving Pika to work in your field?

Anyway those sticker photos are really cool

[swu1381]

@victoriaindigo yep! I'm just leaving Pika Pika to focus more as a Graphic Designer and not both the in-house graphic designer and assistant manager for Pika Pika. I'm still going to be Pika Pika's in-house graphic designer for big jobs.. but just not little things like fliers.

[cutebaby33]

Where i live we used to have Purikura but they sent it away...so sad, now i cant take super cute pics anymore! :C

Your soo lucky to live there, and work at such a cool place! ^^

[swu1381]

@cutebaby33 where did you used to live? I know many people in the east haven't seen purikura before :o

[cutebaby33]

@swu1381 I live in Canada, we had a few in the city I'm in (Edmonton). Aperently they were only renting the purikura booth. The closest place that I know have Purikura is in Vancouver, cause thats where all of the Asians go! ＾＾ ☆

[swu1381]

@cutebaby33 haahha I've never been to Vancouver before! i wanna go one day.. maybe after I graduate

[wenxD]

Love this place! I didn't know you work there D:

[swu1381]

@wenxD hahaha yes! i do but I'm quitting by the end of this month.. We're planning a big event on July and I'll be there too 8) so that'll be my "official last day" I just met a subscriber today at work haha

[wenxD]

@swu1381 Ah Okay awesome! I actually think we may have a few of the same friends. Since I believe I have seen your facebook on their page. I am not trying to sound creepierish! lol

[swu1381]

@wenxD LOL it's not creepy... don't worry haha feel free to add me if you would like, but it's hilarious how people start recognizing me from middle school and I'm just like O___O since it's been so long...
