I love this video arranged and with original music by Joan Jiménez showing images from last summer in Tokyo.

Reality is the contrast between what we have inside and what exists outside. I invite you to a shared trip to Tokyo where I put eyes and music and you all put the sensations…

Holy frak. If you thought the 59-foot-tall Gundam in Tokyo was impressive when it was finished, you haven't seen it fully armed and operative at night. Beautiful and actually scary. Check the impressive close up:

Come on people, let's start building these robots now. I'm sure the bad aliens are going to come any second now, so better hurry up. Don't forget to check the rest of the beautiful shots at Pink Tentacle.

Tokyo's Life-Sized Gundam is Just About Finished

We've seen just the legs awkwardly standing there, but now we can witness the full scope of Tokyo's new 59-foot-tall Gundam statue. And it is awesome.

This RX-78 Gundam will be hanging out in Odaiba for about two months until its robot powers are needed in North Korea. So look out for that. And head over to Danny Choo's site for loads of high-res pics of this thing.
