Good points, I would love to see Anime, J-Pop and other stuff here as well, but I am not very good at it and I cannot do everything… The Bases are not done by me but by a nice gentleman who’s helping for free. So if someone is interesting in doing a weekly news on something that we do not cover… Please contact us !

Well, I remember that Asian Babes weren’t here when I started to read this site. Now I read through RSS and skip the AB entry because I’m a female myself, and find it unnecesary and out of theme. Even if soft porn is part of japanese culture, this is a very specific thematic site, if not, I demand anime and manga as a very important part of japanese culture too, and gore japanese films, and j-pop. Oh, and also food and literature. I don’t see any of these here. Wouldn’t be nice to see a weekly entry about Yukio Mishima and the historic context of his books and theater?

Not everyone here likes to see naked girls.

There are plenty of qualified freelance translators and proofreaders registered on sites like proz.com or freelancer.com, and they generally charge lower rates than translation agencies.
Best of luck, and keep up the great work!

i love the site and everything that you guys do here, but i also enjoy finding out about the japanese culture first hand too. more of that and how the tech industry is trying to reach these people would be an interesting read i think. IE how the video game companies are struggling right now. also if you’re looking for proof readers, why not post for applicants on here, i’m sure many of your readers would love a chance to do so

I agree with you. If you have never been to Japan, you wouldn’t understand why the Asian Babe girls are on the site. I have traveled to Japan once and one thing I noticed though is that most magazines have these “Asian babes” on the covers. It’s not porn, but known as gravure. Speaking with my Japanese friend it’s basically the same thing as how we have different celebrity women dressed sexy on magazine covers which helps make people buy it more. I think it makes Akihabara News more of an e-magazine in that way.

Your site is really great for getting the very latest Japanese tech info, but I do wish you’d have a native speaker check the final translated articles. As cool as the tech may be, it’s sometimes difficult to understand what the product even is or what it does. Spellchecks should also be mandatory.

Interesting idea.. Daimaou-senpai, can you register alex-idols.co.jp for this? Feature cosplay, tech-booth babes and other bishojo things.

For the logo we could use the couchon vert, but change it into pink.
