Soon after
my last post about the J-Pop Summit last month, I decided to head over to Japantown with my daughter and check out the
New People shopping center.
The building's entire facade is covered in glass giving it an airy feeling, perfect for San Francisco architecture where it's commonplace for buildings to be less than 1 inch apart from one another. Inside the lobby there is a cafe, manga art on the walls, and a white staircase that leads up to the shops.
New People is chock full of geeky gadgety goodness, kawaii cuteness, and anime awesomeness.
They have beautiful colored pencils and a pen that I would love to own if I had a larger budget to spend on fancy office supplies.

There is a store dedicated to Gothic Lolita style fashions, which involves a lot of pink, red, black, and lace.

There is also a Harajuku store complete with fantastic accessories of bright colors to complement any outfit. My daughter particularly loved the carousel display. And all the hair bows.

The gallery wasn't open when I went and I haven't watched any of the films at the New People building yet, so that's more than enough incentive to make another visit back.
