Getting Ready for Cooler Weather

If you want to make a small statement about your Evangelion fandom and have the extra money lying around this could be for you.  The Eva Store is selling gloves, knit caps, and hoodies (pictured above), for the Winter season, that are Eva Unit themed.  The gloves and caps are 6,090 yen ($61) a piece and the hoodies are 5,040 yen ($51).

Move Fast to See the Evangelion Exhibit

And yet another cool exhibit in Japan.  This time it is in Tokyo.  In Matsuya Ginza they are having a 1,300 piece exhibit for Evangelion, which coincidentally has a store there for you to purchase your Evangelion merchandise.  In the 1,300 piece exhibit visitors will be able to view original drawings, storyboards, landscape layouts, video screens, and life size figures.  But with this one you will have to hurry.  The exhibit ends August 26.  So if you happen to be in the area get there before the week is over.  The exhibit is open from 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., with an entrance fee of 1,000 yen ($10) for adults, 700 yen ($7) for college and high school students and free to junior high students and younger.  I hope whoever can make it can.

This is Why I Love Japan

Schick is teaming up with the Evangelion movies to give away 10,000 Hydro 5 Razors.  The winners will be randomly drawn today through July 29.  The event is being called “1-Man-Nin Sokai Sakusen” (Operation: Refresh 10,000).  A commercial was even made for it featuring Gendo and Kaji, from Evangelion.  Check it out below.  Thanks to “JapanSchick” on YouTube for the video:
