There’s an official website for ONEPIECE ten (ten means exhibition in Japanese). However, it doesn’t seem that they have an English page, unfortunately. The basic information is like this:

WHEN?:
From Mar. 20, 2012 to Jun. 17, 2012 open everyday from 10am to 10pm. (But you can only enter the time you chose at the purchase of your ticket.)

WHERE?:
Mori Arts Center Gallery, Roppongi Hills, Tokyo (52nd floor)

TICKET:
To be purchased at 7-eleven in advance. (6 entries per day, so choose the entry time when purchase a ticket. See here. No refund, and no changes of the entry time accepted.) This system is similar to Ghibli Museum ticket although it was from other convenience store.

HOW MUCH FOR THE TICKET?:
1800yen for adults and college/university students
1300yen for high school and middle school students
500yen for age 4+ and elementary school kids.
(You can bring your baby but no pets are allowed.)

Entries from Apr. 4 to Apr. 30…already purchasable.
Entries from May 1 to Jun. 17…starts selling from 10am Mar. 31

WHAT CAN YOU SEE THERE?:
Original drawings from best scenes, special movies, interactive arts and etc. You can also buy some special goods there.

REMARKS:
-It’s prohibited to take photos and record videos at the exhibition.
-You may be asked to wait outside, depending on the situation. (You’d better bring your umbrella with you, just in case of rain.)
-Don’t eat or drink. No smoking.
-There is still a chance to buy a ticket at a slightly more expensive price than the advanced ticket at the exhibition site on the day, if only you’re very lucky. But that’s limited to the case when there are some unsold tickets left.

I’m not a fan of ONEPIECE but I recognize it’s quite popular so I thought it might be nicer to announce such event for those who plan to stay in Tokyo during that time. :p

With production limit of 50,000 sets, Docomo started to take orders since 4th of Feb. for its release date on 14th Feb., the Valentine’s Day! There’s no guarantee that the phones are in stock on the release day. Docomo recommends that we should pre-order it before then. (But it seems the phone does not have English guidance, anyway.)

The designer, Tadaaki Wakamatsu insists on the texture of the phone, as if holding a chocolate bar. I wonder what if this smells like a chocolate. I hear that we can control appetite by smelling something sweet. Some people put vanilla scent on the wrist and smell it whenever they feel like craving for sweets. :p

It doesn’t look like a charger, but it is. ^ ^;;

And a cute wallpaper looks like this.

The outer case looks like a box of chocolate. ^ ^

I’ve noticed they have increased the production as many as 50,000 sets, compared with around 15,000 sets or so in last 2 times. Considering that smartphone has finally become very popular last year in Japan, there should be many potential customers who might be interested in getting it. As for myself, I don’t feel a need of it yet at a moment, so I keep using my old cellphone. :p

Have you seen kawaii cell phone like this? What do you think of such design for a smartphone?

I’m just amazed at how AKB48 is doing well, while on the other hand, I hope AKB should not dominate the Japanese music industry and Oricon chart… BTW, AKB48 is such a popular idol group in Japan but you can actually see and shake hands with them in person if you visit AKB48 theater in Akihabara. They are the idols you can visit. That’s their unique concept, and that’s how they became popular from Akihabara to the world.
