Idol Hands

Thanks to Kotaku, I discovered some YouTube videos with incredible timing relative to my previous post. This segment from an English-language TV show in Japan is about the street idols in Akihabara. It’s pretty much exactly what we saw in January, but with a more thorough explanation, and some interviews with locals.

And the second half.

If that’s not enough to satisfy you, click through to YouTube, where there seem to be a lot of related videos of Akiba idol performances with otaku dance troupes.
