In the second of their Welcome to Akiba video-shorts, Steve Nagata and Joseph Tame from http://www.japanpodshow.com take a look at some of the weird and wonderful things you can find on the streets of Akihabara.
From body parts to fake mobile phones, you name it, Akiba has it.

Thanks! The camera is a Sony DHC-850. It's a great camera, nice lens, not too big and with a flip screen makes spying easier.
However, as it's a couple of years old I wouldn't recommend it as there are far superior models on the market now. Also, it shoots to MPEG (which needs converting before editing in iMovie or Final Cut Express).

Actually, I'm not sure if you're aware of it but some areas of Akiba come with built-in Age Reduction Zones. They use a special gas to reduce you to 7 year olds and make you laugh at inopportune moments, thus prompting unusual levels of excitement, thus in this video Steve and I have a combined age of 14.
