As you may recall, using your flawless robot brain, I went to Tokyo on Saturday to attend Fami-mode, an all-night chiptune concert – FULL REPORT COMING SOON; TELL YOUR FRIENDS. But before Fami-mode, I had a whole day in which to do activities. Golly!

Do you remember, from my Archime-DS review, the great big art event called Design Festa? Of course you do – robot brain. Well, Design Festa is also a location – an art gallery in Harajuku, to be specific. Two art galleries, actually, because they recently opened a second one: Design Festa East. I decided to visit it! I am a grown-up and can decide things.

Upstairs at Design Festa East was (and still is; check it out if you live in Tokyo) an exhibition of happi, each one decorated by what we humans call an ‘artist’ – you wouldn’t understand. A happi is a sort of traditional Japanese jacket. Here’s a photo:

WHAT IS THIS EMOTION YOU CALL HAPPI.

So anyway, guess what! One of the happi designs was VIDEOGAME RELATED OMG!!!

BEEP BLOOP BOOP.

Ha-HAH! Take that, Kotaku! We will beat you at your own game!

TOMORROW: A bowl of icecream with sprinkles that look a bit like Mega Man, with a bit of imagination!
