Summer has definitely come to a close and I’m now in the midst of lighting cinnamon candles and wrapping myself up in warm blankets. But that said, what a busy summer it was! I’m clearly still recovering from it haha, considering I’m only now getting to my Otakon recap! (Along with a some news regarding AnimeUSA 2022, too!)

It’s time to grab your fleece blankets and pumpkin spice delights! Because today I’m pleased to bring you the latest in this series of Featured Artist Spotlights.

You’ve likely heard of Harajuku through songs or perhaps via a grape vine of travelers who have been to Tokyo (東京). Or maybe you’ve heard of the “Harajuku Girls” in a fashion magazine somewhere. But none of that really elaborates on just what Harajuku is, what you can do there or what you should make SURE to do there on your epic trip to Japan. So allow me to divulge all you need to know for your day in this fashion forward mecca of the Tokyo Metropolis. 😉

As my website was still undergoing renovations, I was only able to express my condolences to this great man’s family and fellow fans via social media at the time of his passing. But I still wanted to dedicated a post here to George Perez, who passed away in early May of this year.
Sooo… who else is recovering from a crazy but super awesome Katsucon 2022? I can tell you right now I’m still playing catch up. It probably doesn’t help that I’ve been staying up late being addicted to playing “Breath of the Wild” recently, but eh, I’ll survive (hopefully; if the Lynels don’t kill me!).
Today I wanted to share with you a bit about one of my favorite places in Japan. And also some parts of an experience I had there about… oh wow, eight years ago! Why? Just because it’s such a good memory! AND because if you get the chance to go to Tokyo, you have to stop by this gem!
