On October 10th 2010, as a birthday day out, me and a friend traveled to the great district of Namba. For any of those back home who have not been to Japan, or just simple unaware--Namba is a district of Osaka that is known for both a) it's shopping and b) it's entertainment.
Unfortunately, we only went for the shopping and a little food.
First off, there is a very famous mascot-ish picture that everyone and their mom takes a picture of, so we should first get that out of the way.

This is Glico Man. He's on Glico own products
He's right outside of the this European store known as H&M. This is also where you'll descent into the madness that everyone refers to as "the overcrowded streets of Japan." It doesn't happen in Hirakata, but be rest assure once you step outside of this community and into any place of Osaka and Kyoto, you will be overcome by the sea of people.
Also, I bought a wonderful shirt at H&M.
We traveled for like ever looking at the wonderful places set before us. My friend and I ate at a wonderful Izakaya because a Japanese boy gave us a coupon and had us follow him. I'm so happy we went with his choice, even if he only led us there because it was his job.
After the wonderful food we found a great accessory shop known as Heartdance. It's expensive, but everything was so adorable.
I bought a headband, it's super awesome with a feather and everything.
Finally, we made it to a place called Big Camera, where we unlocked an achievement: buying an MP3 player. I went with a wonderful, and very new (released October 09th), NW-S755 series Sony Walkman. It's pink, it hold 16 GBs, I am quite happy at the moment--until those Gigs fill up. I also bought an awesome pair of headphones and then called it a day.
My friend then treated me to some Ice Cream. It was wonderful!
Namba is a great place for any shopping nut, and you'll find whatever you want as long as you look hard enough.
...Except for shoes above 26.5 centimeters.
