M's Block, Akihabara, Tokyo Another block in Akihabara, which I named M's block considering M's has been the constant tenant here through the past few decades. M's is a rather infamous shop that sells... 18+ things, but this block also has tons of significance with the electronics store in the back end that has a very 1980s facade with glass escalators, with tenants being first a Sato Musen, then a Yamada/Labi store (who merged with Sato Musen), and now one of the four Sofmap stores in Akihabara. The back of this building, and this entire block really, is representative of the 1980s Japanese economic boom and post-modern Japanese architecture. The building next to it is an arcade, but was once a store, Megane Super, that sold eyeglasses. It then became a Sega arcade, which then rebranded into Gigo, before it became Namco's first arcade in the area. The Namco wasn't built until the 2020s but I did a 2010s version with it just because. I made a 2000s, a 2010s, and a 2020s version of this block. The 2010s has two versions for each arcade represented, as Yamada/Labi had a cobranded store with Tsukumo for a year. Other tenants include various karaoke bars and maid cafes, AU cellphone shop, Liberty Anime, Surugaya Anime, Card World Tower, Sagawa logistics, Yamato logistics, Aiful/MoneyExchange (2010s/2020s), Pablo Mini (2010s), a ticketing kiosk (2020s), the old Bluelamm (2000s only), and a souvenir/money exchange store. Gyu-Kaku, an office for Ichigo, and Maidreamin are tenants within the arcade. Namco's arcade specifically has a Bandai Gachapon floor as well while this Sega/Gigo had a first floor cafe. Also included are a Nitori Furniture, Mos Burger and a Wendy's First Kitchen (not really in the building but I wanted them for my cities). CS$$8 Corner lot, but it is preferred to have roads or pedmalls around this entire lot rather than having it wall to wall next to another building. There are eight different growable versions of this block: 2000s - Sato Musen/Megane Super 2010s - Labi-Gigo 2010s - Labi-Tsukumo-Gigo 2010s - Labi-Namco 2010s - Labi-Tsukumo-Namco 2010s - Labi-Sega 2010s - Labi-Tsukumo-Sega 2020s - Sofmap-Namco Each are separated by folder so you can pick and choose which ones you want. I also did a CS$$ plop for each version in general (three total). No dependencies. -

Working on the 2000s version of my block with the old Sato Musen, as well as a new project.

Exporting and working on several different versions!

This one is close. Small detail work from here on out, which is mostly doing all the entrance ways, and changing out repetition from roof textures. Also going to make a 2010s and a 2000s version. Also planning my next big project in the endless list of projects by building over this model.

I apologize for the double post but I just want to talk about how well the BandaiNamco arcade (and Sofmap Ekimae) turned out!
-
Newest Akihabara block in progress. This is the one out of the south end of the station. It has an arcade building for Bandai Namco which was recently built. I plan on doing a 2000s, 2010s and a 2020s version.

More progress, including the building being inexplicably beige in the back.

Yunika Building, Shinjuku, Tokyo First time I've done a building in the Shinjuku area in Tokyo. This is one of the central buildings in Shinjuku upon existing the east side of Shjinjuku station. Yunika Building, built by Matsuda Hirata Sekkei (MHS), was built in 2010, and it's first tenant, a Yamada-Labi appliance/electronics store, occupied it within the first decade of the building's existence, before Yamada had financial struggles during the pandemic and moved to a building in the west side of the station (there is currently a merger proposal from rival electronics chain Edion in Japan). Labi is the brand Yamada uses in urban areas. In 2022, Alpen Sports opened a flagship store as the new tenant of this building. There are eight above-ground floors as well as two basement floors in the building, and they sell over 350,000 sporting good items, giving us one of, if not the largest sporting goods store in the world. Floor breakdown: Alpen Sports/Sports Depo occupy the two basement floors and the first two ground floors. Basement 2F: Baseball and softball, as well as MLB/Nippon League memorabilia and other team sports, as well as an area for Japanese brand Mizuno. Basement 1F: Racquet (pickleball/tennis/badminton/ping pong), Volleyball and Swimming. Ground Floor 1F: Running, with simulated running tracks, and basketball, as well as sports jerseys from around the world. The NBA is heavily represented here. 2F: Soccer/World football, with kits of every kind, the latest boots, and equipment. 3-5F: Alpen Outdoors, a camping superstore for all your camping needs. North Face, Patagonia, Columbia, and Coleman are big brands here, as well as the Japanese brand Snow Peak. 6-7F: Golf5: A golfing chain in Japan, which sells everything golf related, including craftsman made specialized clubs. The 6th floor has 3D scanning to give your hands the perfect clubs. The 7th floor is full of golf simulators to test your clubs. 8F: Alpen Mountains. For your mountain hiking needs, and a haven for people who hike places like Mt. Fuji. Snowboarding and skiing are also represented here. If you're looking for more specialized sports like American or Aussie Rules football, rugby, cricket, hockey, this is probably not the place to find that equipment since those aren't sports that are played as much in Japan. There's also an array of restaurants, pharmacies like Matsumoto Kiyoshi and Welcia, financial services, and salons/wellness centers in this central building of Shinjuku. The big LED boards for Yunika Vision are included here. CS$$8 2x4 Corner and Plop with jobs in the zip file. Three versions: Alpen Toyko (2022-present) Alpen Sports (a generic version) Labi-Yamada (2010-2021) Dependencies: RR Mega Prop Pack 2, for the table sets.- 3 Reviews

Mulan, Akihabara, Tokyo Mulan is a secondhand store in Akihabara, Tokyo that has many floors of Otaku culture trinkets as well as tons of gachapon (capsule vending machine) collectibles. The bright yellow and red building is one of the most striking and recognizable buildings in Akihabara. CS$$7 1x1 building, purposely made as a corner as to not have it pop up everywhere. Plop version included as well. I made five different Otaku billboard variations. This can be used with @rare_guava's Sega building, my Hirose block, and the HKABT Ishimaru-LAOX (which is now Edion) and Onoden to create a streetscape, since they all neighbor each other. Dependencies: None.- 1 Review
