Right, what's the news today you spoiler-laden TARDIS journal?
It's the last day at Namco Namjatown
Today is the last day to visit Namco Namjatown, which is of course an indoor theme park in the Sunshine City shopping center in Ikebukuro, Toshima, Tokyo, Japan. You got a full opening hours to visit this place while you can because tomorrow, January 15, 2013, the Namco Namjatown will closed for renovations and it will be reopen in Summer 2013.
Is it Toyota86? No...
At the recently concluded Tokyo Auto Salon, there are some odd tuning lurking around here and seems that the Toyota 86 is no exception here. First off, Japan's Nihon Automobile College (NATS), the students that brought you the kei-car version of the Honda NSX back in 2007, created their project based on the Toyota 86 sports coupe and would you look at that? A Toyota 86 that looks like an Audi R8! THAT'S NATS!
If the NATS R86 wasn't quite enough for you, the people at DAMD Styling Effect took long hours of butchering the Toyota 86 by transforming it into an 86...that looks like the now-defunct Lexus LFA from top to bottom! They called it LFT-86!
The 2UX3J Booth
Also at the recently concluded TAS 2013, you may have noticed that there's a booth that says 2UX3J. Did anyone checked that out? There are some sharp-designed Lexus cars, especially the one-off LFA Spider, on that venue. Wait...Lexus?! So...2UX3J....That spells LEXUS...backwards! Quite an eccentric trick for Toyota's luxury marque if I'm honest.

The new IS...
 |
| 2014 Lexus IS |
IS stands for Infinite Stratos but oh no...Sorry, no new Stratos for now because of Ferrari but for Lexus, yes, the new IS is revealed and by the looks of it, it's somewhat unorthodox. It maybe look like the LF-CC concept but the design is far too many, they should have inspire this car from the looks of the Akatsubaki but judging on the interior, now that is more of an LFA look-alike, even the speedo really looks like the LFA!

The (other) new IS...
Speaking of Infinite Stratos, you may remember that back in last month's Comiket 83, the Infinite Stratos booth offered a new novella in a bundle that also comes with a 30-minute drama CD of the novella's story, a tapestry (B2 size), clear file, and a shopping bag, complete with a new exclusive artwork. Long story short but way before that, the author behind the IS light novel, Izuru Yumizuru, told that despite Media Factory no longer publishing Infinite Stratos (well Volume 7 was published back in April 2011), this title is now under the hands of Overlap and this new company promises to revise Volumes 1 to 7 this year while the 8th volume will be available this April 25.
Overlap, never heard of it but they are now their responsibility for Infinite Stratos and for that, there's going to be an IS Al-Night Fstival on April 20 where the complete series will be screened and the cast will be there. Advance copies of the light novel series' eighth volume will also be available for purchase. The main venue will be the Cinema Sunshine building in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district.
That's not all, there's going to be an audio drama and character song CD series as well!
