Very glad you appreciated the translation, this set of posts are very significant in understanding what happened in Akihabara, I think. There’s a lot more going on than what most media will tell you.

I've hyperlinked it in my blog. Thank you for the trouble taken to work on translating this hidden world. I visited Tokyo in June and was taken to enjoy the vibrant scenes in Akihibara. No sign of social breakdown, just kind hosting and civility - so it is good I should learn more about the 'other side'. I know many clever creative people in Japan are aware of and thinking about these issues, and that there thinking drives policies to try and strengthen society and heal the growing rifts of what seemed once so embracing and cohesive.
