"巫女 Miko" is a Japanese word describe a woman who can communucate with the spirit world of Gods, but in modern days, this word almost always means a woman who work at Shinto shirine, for example those girls who wear stunningly clean and beautiful traditional clothes, sit at the counter of shirine's office as a receptionist, sometimes help visiters buy goods. Exactly the girls you see in the blow picture.

Not to mention, Miko is a famous object for Otaku's craving, because overlapping of sacred elements and esthetics of Japanese traditional attire stirs up something in their minds. Yes, you can guess it's a kind of forbidden adore.

"M.A.G", the title of this exciting simple scroll action shooting game, is an abbreviation of Miko Action Game.

Toaru Majutsu no Index Alarm App for iPhone

Cute Amine Girls games, or Moege are all about (virtual) interaction with Anime girls. Whether it's a high school drama style sweet story or SF style or an ancient saga in which usually players embark on a mission to defeat an evil empire like Final Fantasy in it's early days, what we (or I..) expect is how well the game satisfy or provoke something sexual in us with whatever stories...

But, of course not all Anime fans have sexually quirks. Just like putting intricate figure dolls on your desk shelf, you just want having fun talking to, cooking with the girls, or maybe you want them to wake you up in a dull morning...

This is again an alarm-clock app of a character from a famous anime called 'Toaru Majutsu no Index (A Forbidden Tome of A Certain Magic or A Certain Magical Index)'.

As you don't wake up and keep the girl from having breakfast (because she has to wake you up, you know she is so loyal), she is getting hungry and angry. For some reason she describe how she is hungry in numbers, like "I'm 22.5 % hungry!!". This number indicates how long you took to wake up after the alarm. Somehow her reaction may tempt you to try to leave her until she gets 100% hungry...

This app is priced at 600yen(apprx $7.5), which is a bit expensive or a right price (it also has a voice library and stock wallpapers)? How do you think?

*I could't confirm this app is available in U.S. iTunes.

If Moe girl were living in your iPhone... - DreamClub PureClock Amane

Usually when spin-offs of gamesofts for desktop gaming consoles are released for gaming portable devices, it may end up somewhat simplified or downgraded. But sometimes things are the opposite. Sometimes portable games would get more unique and diffuse more into your life.

DreamClub PureClock Amane

This is an iOS version of "Dream Club", a famous game for Xbox360. And this might go deeper in your life than Xbox360 version. Simply because you always carry around iPhone, means you're always with Moe girl  who are always sincerely looking forward you to launching the app, too.

This was originally released as a free app, but with the new update, now we can get the full version for $6.99.

When you unlock the full feature, you can change the girl's cloths, use an alarm function, gift her presents, have more voices and more opportunities to TOUCH her (you can shake her boob by touching..).

This basically is an alarm (or clock) app. When you touch the clock in the top-left, the girl's voice will read the present time. It's fine.

Alarm just works fine, too. When the set time has come, the special voice will announce you a time.

You also can present her gifts, though it cost actual money D:
When you treat her alcohol, she got drunk lol. Maybe you shouldn't think too much. Just enjoy her cute expression ;)

Why don't you buy her cloths if you want to make her like you, or just want to see her in your favorite costumes.
You can also take a photo with her, or select a photo from Cameraroll and add her image over it. You can drag the girl's image with two finger so that nicely fit her into the photo.

The girl in this app is a main character of Xbox version. This is a game which you can virtually experiences the Japanese style cabaret club, top-notch, very expensive club. So you can see so many gorgeous Moe girls are working for this club.

When you haven't use this app for a while, she would call you that she miss you... It's maybe Otaku Dream Come True for some people, but for me it's a bit scary, what if you uninstall this app? I just only could imagine a Ring like horrific scene :(

Let's play Casino with Moe girls

Hello two dimension!! Oh you don't understand what I mean by two dimension? Basically it means cute girls in Anime or Game, which of course have two dimension body.
Anyway, whether you're a serious Otaku or just want to take a peek at Japanese modern culture or an early adopter who just want to try everything new in the market, this is my best recommendation of anime girls game which has a little eroge (Anime like porno game) flavor with high-quality graphic.

The maker of this app (Override Co.) is really famous for the quality of it's eroge games.

Anime Casino Beauty Dealers

In this game you play poker, blackjack and Indian poker with Moe characters, little cute girls. Not surprisingly the company's already released similar games as a series, and this is a second installment of this Anime Casino Dealers series.
So what the difference from the previous one?
Think about it. When you go to a strip club, though I'm quite unsure you've ever been, perhaps the most enjoyable moment there is when strippers are teasing you by taking off their cloths so too slowly, and you're watching it sipping a beer. Or... imagine there's a girl in revealing cloth in front of you, and you could make her take her cloth off, step by step, by beating her in poker..
This game or many other eroge are capturing those situations into the game screen. What matters is not you can enjoy poker itself but you can enjoy the process of girls getting naked.
The answer of the question is... no, there's no difference, except, tough this is a big exception, that girls are different.

all character has big tits in this game

This game has three characters. Madam Scarlet plays poker, Aoi, the girl in a nurse costume holding an injection needle, plays black jack, and Karen, the girl with bunny ears, plays Indian poker.

The system is just the classic way. As you win you get coins and with those coins you can take cards concealing girls' body off.

Can you see the left, second from the bottom card's price is only $1000, and the below that card is $16,000? These girls are really good at teasing you!!

$25,000!!!

What is 'Moe' and 'Otaku'?

Have you ever heard the word moe? Or the word otaku? If you don't know both of these words, maybe you should learn a little bit from this article.
萌え (Moe: literally, "bursting into bud") is a relatively new word. The easiest explanation of moe is that the obsession with beautiful little girls, bishojo. Moe had been a kind of jargon used by exclusively Oataku (お宅: literally, "your home"). Every Otaku person knows Moe. For them it's just so basic. But there's a huge gap between people who know the word and who don't. And those who once visited Japan might know, It clearly corresponds with another gap between those who know that Akihabara (until recently this area was only portrayed in media for household-appliance stores. ) is now the territory of Otaku and those who don't.
Over time, the focus of otaku taste shifted from science fiction to anime to eroge (erotic games), as young boys who once embraced the bright future promised by science saw this future gradually eroded by the increasingly grim reality around them. I think they needed an alternative.

There's common phrase, Two dimension, to describe likeness toward eroge or bisyojo Anime. Uhmm I can imagine what you are probably enjoying right now, then you can say "I LOVE TWO DIMENSION!! TWO DIMENSION FTW!!" . That's it.

But for mainstream people, it is so weird that Otaku people are obsessed with little girls toy or eroge where you can enjoy virtual love affair with Anime style little girls. But Otaku people are enjoying the fact they are watched as oddball or socially challenged and becoming increasingly unacceptable.
But perhaps this is not very accurate. Actually from my personal experience, beside the fact that they have Otaku taste, many of them are peaceful and nice persons. I think that's because they are socializing so closely within their Otaku communities.
If you look for a Western equivalent, it would be Decadence, or the Baroque, though theirs is a tendency toward excessive decorativeness. I imagine such people think of themselves not in terms of "See what we've done. We're amazing," but more like, "See what we've done! How pathetic we are!"
This pathetic tendency is corresponding to the extremization of otaku culture.
Up until the 1980s, people who watched anime—any kind of anime, be it Hayao Miyazaki or Akira or whatever—were all considered otaku. Today, Japanese anime is so accomplished that one film even won an Academy Award. As a result, grown-ups can safely watch, say, Miyazaki's anime without being despised as otaku.

The upshot of this is, as soon as anime and games earned respectability in society, otaku created more repugnant or extreme genres, in Japanese I may say hetale or dame na genre, such as bishojo games and moe anime, and moved on to them.

Moe(萌え) character maker

This is how a Moe character appears on an evening edition's front page of major Japanese newspaper.

The article says “Now you can make a Moe character easily by using a software on PC. ... You may find Moe characters more and more often on cases or wrapping of products, or as mascots of local tourism, etc.”

A software company based in Tokyo developed the program “Comi Po” that you can make your own version of anime like character on your own PC with.

‘Cause it’s not only about hobby but this software will expand a possibility for small companies or small towns to make their commercial mascot at very cheap price (just 40 USD, as far as I know).

here is their website http://www.comipo.com/en/index.html or http://www.crunchyroll.com/comipo

Russian (roulette) cookie
"I don't care if you eat this or not!" "10 of 12 cookies are super spicy." "I warn you this is so spicy!"

Souvenir shop selling sweets from Hokkaido

I’m pretty doubtful that this kind of package design is becoming a new standard, I think it just looks weird and seems just attracts people who are looking for weird gifts from Japan to make fun of.

But after two decades of economic stagnation, Pop culture have been becoming seen as one of few things that have a potential to grow globally from Japan, and I guess, the border between mainstream Manga/Anime and somewhat pornographic ones (be sure that I don’t mean real porno) are slowly but gradually disappearing.

But is this giving a bad name to Japan? Because I believe no sane person look them as a thing to be displayed in main section of normal souvenir shops, normal media, normal bookshops, or anything normal.
I think it’s just for fans, but in Japan and the world, fans of this kind of lolita anime thing are extremely enthusiastic and spend a lot of money, makes these characters effective marketing tools, even major newspaper put a cute picture of Moe girl on their front page. In the real world, it just as peculiar as the front page of newspaper where a Moe girl smiling above the grim news articles.

Real Japanese Girls are as cute as cute as virtual Anime Girls. Don't forget that :)
