Wonderful Merveille

kiba Tachikawa has taken a step out of his main Naruto line to share his appreciation of visual kei singer Gackt, and has released this outfit. It is worn by Gackt in the CD booklet of Malice Mizer's (of whom Gackt was a member back then) Merveilles album, and also in his live performance of the song Le ciel (from the same album).

Robotic impression

Maruru Mayo has released another product in her line of Bubblegum Crisis inspired hard suits, but this time for men: type AS1M (orbital white).

The suit is multifunctional, and by that I mean that it is over-customizable from head to feet - aperture of the helmet, angle of the wings in the back, lights, etc. It also makes sounds when you change direction, land, start flying, etc (and that can be configured to off of course), which makes for a nice robotic impression. The right forearm features a WARPS/DSC2 compatible melee weapon.

Tree spirits

One year and a half ago, when I had to pick a name for the mall that was just born on the ashes of Viridian Plaza, I went through the Japanese bestiary and remembered the depiction of the kodama, the Japanese tree spirit, in Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke). I was then lucky enough to find a moderately nice mod-copy version of it in SL, which I bought and scripted. But to the countless people that wanted to buy it, I had to answer that I didn't make it, that the one that is for sale is unscripted, and that my script would not work very well out of Kodama no Ki.

Koenees Karas made that change :)

He's just released a pack of five kodamas, all of them a bit different from each other.

They're scripted and ready for use. All you have to do is to rezz them and wait a bit; they will move around close to where you rezzed them. If you want them to appear at specific places or within a specific range at specific places, there is a pressettable set in the pack. All kodamas will make a sound and tilt their head if you click on it.

They have been in service in Kodama no Ki for a couple of days now: it's quite easy to spot one :)

Rude manners

For those of you who wonder why we've moved out of Shinobiya land, try to go to our former place and you will be teleported home. I just experienced it. The SIM owner (Sincrea Slade) and the residents there actually didn't like you and don't like you better now. I was asked to move the mall out because of that. So, don't forget that we are now in Izumo. I co-own the SIM. And good news: I like you! \(^_^)/

P.S.: Please update your picks! Also, feel free to pick up and redistribute our posters by touching the vendor on the wall next to the watermelon table!

The fighter's shop

And here comes freedom Amiot!

His shop has two lines of products. The first line is a series of attack attachments, featuring animations and pushes (will work in push enabled parcels). Two are katanas, five are bare hands.

The other line, well, actually an all-in-one set, who sells for about 15$US, targets the hardcore Gundam fans. It's a multi-weapon Gundam avatar. One nice feature is that you don't have to wear and unwear the included weapons; the five of them are all accessible through a menu.

Check this out in Kodama no Ki!

We're moving!

Second Life's number one Anime, Cosplay and Japanese mall, Kodama no Ki, is moving!

From now on, you will find us in Izumo SIM (co-owned by me and Nagi Yoshikawa).
See you there!
