A little piece of Tokyo has just arrived in our very own Brunswick Street. Not just any part of Brunswick Street either: the seedy, Valley end, in the dim-light between Scores and the ever-popular dollar Peep Show - but don't let that put you off. The bright pink signs and peppy grinning Jap-Lolita girls let you know at once that Purikura is a friendly place. Too much, almost.
All the rage in Japan, Purikura Club is an 'interactive photo sticker game'. This is not just any old sit-and-smile photo booth, it really is an experience (word on the street also has it PC is much, much better than the other Japanese sticker photo place in the Elizabeth Arcade). As loud Japanese pop music blasts loudly, your skill and flexibility is tested as you are forced to squeeze into the designated position for each photo - and FAST... 1, 2, 3 - Happpppy!
Ten shots later, just when you think it's all over, you are shuffled into another booth where you can add clothes, accessories, borders, backgrounds, writing, critters, colours: basically anything you can think of in your allocated 260 seconds. (Just remember to use the selection pen to activate the touch-screen: a rookie mistake, especially for the game illiterate among us). At this point it really helps if you can read Japanese, but is even funnier if you can't.
