    *Anti-Gravity Radio Kaikan (Ver.Comiket 91)*

    A triple towered version of the symbolic Radio Kaikan in Akihabara.
    A popular landmark in Akihabara. Especially with Electronics and Anime/Game fans. Built in 1962, it was the first high rise and major electronics shopping center in Akihabara and was famous for all of the bits and pieces that could be found there. Since around 2000 it has been slowly overtaken by Anime/Game merchandise and niche hobby stores. The old building was torn down in 2011 and the new building re-opened in 2014. The anime "Steins;Gate" actually includes the closing of the old building as part of the story and also held a large scale promo event at the real Radio Kaikan connecting the closing of the real building to it's role in Steins;Gate.

    I recognize quite a few of those stores as actual stores at Radio Kaikan. Only many of the names and logos have been modified.

    L-Books instead of K-Books. Yellow Subway instead of Yellow Submarine. BZONE instead of AZONE. Reboot Reboot instead of Robot Robot. Ect.
