Filed under: Akihabara OtakuHatune Miku at the blood bank
06.12.2009 by Patrick W. Galbraith
I reported a while back that the blood bank in Akihabara is targeting otaku men (story here). Since then, the humble little Red Cross room has opened a new location on the other side of the station. To commemorate the event, they are giving away a limited number of exclusive, official Hatsune Miku goods. If there was any doubt that they are courting the otaku crowd, this puts it to rest.

残念ながら、私は追い出されました。なんか、二ヶ月前、いつもの献血をやってしまって、来年の二月まで受けちゃだめだそうです。orz 分かるけどさ、なんで私は罰されていますかって感じ。ミクのグッズをもの凄く欲しいのに。。。ああ、心がいたくなってきました。＞＜
