The Host Club Vending Machine

Posted byJonelle PatrickPosted inCute to the nth, Host Clubs & Hostess Bars, Made In JapanTags:, , , , , , , ,

When I first saw this gachapon machine filled with little plastic champagne towers, I thought WAT? Who needs a set of miniature, light-up, host club furniture? I mean, even though it’s pretty happenin’ how they change color and all…

…I wasn’t instantly throwing all my money at the coin changer. Until…

…it hit me that the Drunken Pets that helped me ring in the new year BADLY needed a partytown for the other eleven months
And what could keep them more entertained than quaffing champagne with the hostpet of their dreams?
But that’s not all – check out the action at Club Minifig
Way more fun than the Temple of Airjitsu, where they’re constantly being ambushed by pesky Ninja Warriors
Even The Statue of Too Much Liberty can let her hair down at the Gacha-gacha Club
And need I even mention that everyone’s favorite radioactive lizard welcomes the opportunity to drink whatever he wants, whenever he wants?

This series may be sold out by the time you’re next in Tokyo, but there will be plenty more to take its place! If you’d like to discover the latest, greatest, gachagacha, a guide to the best gachapon hunting spots in Tokyo is on my travel blog, The Tokyo Guide I Wish I’d Had. Happy hunting!

Would you like to be whisked away to Japan, wherever you are?

It’s the year 1784 and the shōgun rules with an iron fist . . . except within the walled pleasure quarter of Yoshiwara. Inside the Great Gate, samurai law does not apply, and it’s women who pull the strings

“The Samurai’s Octopus…is a truly remarkable book, one that surprised and charmed me at every turn of the page. You’re in for a treat.”
—James Ziskin, Anthony, Barry, and Macavity Award-winning author of the Ellie Stone mysteries
