Santa went to town
Now that the festivities have settled down for a few days, it's time for a sum-up of the unexpected gifts and surprises Santa brought me this year!
Bitman Video Bulb
This is a small tube-shaped device made by Maywa Denki that you plug in the video input of your TV, and it instantly displays random Bitman animations on the screen. Unlike the portable Bitman which only dances and runs, Bitman also enters/exits doors, walks up/down stairs, uses elevators, etc.!
Much more fun than I could have imagined!

Groovisions Brockmann Light Volume 02 Wild Animals
I got the lion (my zodiac sign)! :)
Geisha chocolates
Last week I received two large boxes from my dear friend Larry in Sweden.
They didn't last the weekend. :)
Conbini stuff
Yūko gave me some toys from the conbini (always a winner):
Tōfu Oyako Choco (chocolate + chain, I got "Fake Tōfu"),
Gya-toruzu genshiteki Collection (I got Gon),
and Gachapin Challenge (I got Hang Glider).
Koolhaus of Jazz
I won a pair of tickets to Kikuchi Naruyoshi's Christmas event, Koolhaus of Jazz, featuring Kahimi Karie, DJ Krush and more!
Thanks to RealTokyo (and Jean)!!
... and also more chocolate and cake from all sides, and money from my parents (always nice!).
I think that's about it!

That Bitman looks way cool! You'll have to bring it over next time I have a dinner at my place.

I have the little Bitman that comes on its own screen, but I didn't realize it was a Maywa Denki creation! Very cool.

Yeah I didn't know at first either, since they often sell Bitman on its own at record shops or novelty shops.
The Maywa Denki gallery I went to last month is what really put all the pieces together for me.
