OK, this might be the most random post here yet, but at the weekend as my friend and I were taking purikura the machine needed the sticker paper refilling, so I took a bunch of pictures of the guy ch...
This weekend I managed to find two unique purikura machines! You can see the two previous ones I blogged here. First machine you can see above is from Meiji Mura. Meiji Mura is a open air museum in A...
While I was in Tokyo for Golden Week I thought I’d take some pictures to show you guys how to get to the Taito Station in Shinjuku for purikura. This place is one of the test locations so you often g...
Ever wondered about the history of purikura? The English wiki has very little information so I had a look at some Japanese sites. The first purikura machines were simple frame sticker pictures locate...
As I took Sugary recently and as that’s the main machine for Bandai-Namco I thought it would be the next in the how-to download series. I’m trying to space them out so as not to just have “how to” po...
This machine is a little unusual because it is from a company (Bandai-Namco) that doesn’t have too many other machines and those it does have seem to be older. This is the company’s return/break in t...
I signed up for a YouTube channel ages ago but just decided to try it out. I want to make decent review videos and how-to tutorials but for now these are sort of a test run and a look at the new soft...
It seems a lot of readers don’t live in Japan, many of you don’t have access to purikura at all, poor things! A lot of those that do, only have some older machines. So I thought I’d give you some ide...
This is the machine released after Me Her Jyoshi and uses Essence’s special ‘platinum sheet’. (Kinda shiny/pearly printouts. MeroMero is メロメロ in Japanese which they have tweaked to be xoxo in the log...
In the giveaway comments I was asked (not sure if the person wants to be named or not) which machine this purikura comes from: This is the bonus shot from 美女cosme3 (Bijou Cosme3). After you take your...
Time to announce the winner! Thank you to everyone who entered, and to followers old and new! I was surprised at how many people entered- and how long it took to write out all the names! Anyway first...
With Kirei Navi2 just released and me trying to get my computer organised, I remembered that I took pics of the original version a while back. Notes on the new version at the end too! When you go in ...
I went looking for some Valentine stamps but they were surprisingly hard to find examples of. Mostly couples just had the date and regular heart stamps. So I decided to take a different approach and ...
One year ago today was my first post! I didn’t think I would keep going for this long and still have ideas for posts. My topic is kind of niche to say the least. I also never thought I’d get people f...
This is a cute machine I found at a game centre I don’t usually go to. It’s name comes from CUte and BEauty, I like the design of the outside of this one with it’s square theme. Inside it has a...
Trying to spread these out so there aren’t too many how-to posts together! This is how to get your pictures from Make machines to a regular Japanese mobile phone. This is much much easier than the iP...
This review is well overdue as this is a unique machine aimed at older users who are tired of the too-processed look you get from other machines. It also has the distinction of being the first machin...
I met my friend who is more fluent in Japanese than I am over the winter break and discovered that on some machines you CAN change your English name for the label stamps! On the graffiti screen outsi...
Happy New Year! Here’s my first purikura of 2012! Me Her Jyoshi…(I just noticed our names are backwards!) A while ago Egg magazine had a survey about places to go in Shibuya and of course being a gya...
I had planned to do a comprehensive guide to the Christmas themed purikura stamps and frames but time is not on my side! So I have a mini collection of some santa-cosplay purikura and a few examples ...
I’ll do this by company, not all machines by the companies work with the iPhone, even the new machines so be careful! They also keep changing their systems which is why I’ve been avoiding starting th...
We all know about the earthquake and tsunami in northern Japan last March. The region is still struggling to find its feet but the people there are carrying on as best they can. One of the purikura c...
Lots of pics because for the first time we decided to do the machine twice to try out both courses! This is a machine with a bit of a grown-up/blogger style on one of the courses with the other being...
My blog was just featured on the wonderful Japan/gyaru related blog, Universal Doll! A while ago Mitsu wrote a post asking for people to submit their blogs for a spotlight. I wasn’t sure at first but...
Just a quick post before I head off to Tokyo! Some touristy places have special purikura machines made just for them. They are pretty old school and are very very basic but I think it’s nice to have ...
They come up with some weird names sometimes don’t they? Here’s a review for a machine that came out just before summer. Once inside the design of the lights is really surprising, it has lots of flat...
A brand-new and really cute machine. It’s based on the Lady By Tokyo design but aimed at a younger crowd. This machine just arrived at my local game centre, I saw it announced on the website and was ...
It’s Halloween tomorrow! Japan also kind of celebrates Halloween although I’ve been told that’s just because Tokyo Disneyland has a Halloween event. Still decorations and costumes are everywhere, and...
I just noticed that FuRyu has a youtube channel and has uploaded a 15 second CM for Tsubasas BF Manual Second Label release... Theres also a one minute making of video... Thats all thats on the chann...
My first review on this blog was Tsubasa Masuwakas BF Manual, and now theres a second version out called BF Second Label. I liked the original machine but was disappointed wit h the printout...
