Hi Rebecca,
I’m not sure if your korg piano is the same as my micropiano, but the micropiano’s AC adaptor could support 110v and 240v so all I needed was a simple plug adaptor.

You should check the power adaptor and check that it supports 220-240volts AC power as input. If it does, you should be able to use a simple plug adaptor.

If it only displays 100-120 volts, then it might blow up because of the voltage difference. You would have to purchase a stepdown convertor which is a device that changes 240v to 110v. This could be a bit pricey ($100AU~ range) and a bit heavy too.

I have a korg piano I bought in Japan and want to bring back to Australia but I’m worried it might blow up because of the voltage difference. Do you have to use an special adaptor or something?

Yep those lucky star nendoroids were limited edition. Although last time I was in Akihabara, I still noticed them for a reasonable price used. I managed to get the entire set new at Washinomiya shrine last year.

I also notice a lot of the ones I see locally here are fakes, so if you have an official one then lucky you

Comment on Visual novel by Tim

Hi, otakucarter also contacted me via email so I ended up responding on email, but I believe he meant perhaps bishoujo games.

I recommended some visual novels that I like such as Chaos Head, Steins;gate, Little Busters, Ef and Fate/Stay Night.

Clannad is great too. I still haven’t finished the anime because i’m halfway through the game myself.

Hi im just a random passerby.
Not sure what you mean by bishoujo anime. Do you mean bishoujo-games (occuring in visual novels) that have had an anime adaptation?
here is a list of VNs that have anime counterparts: http://vndb.org/v/all?q=;fil=tagspoil-2.hasani-1;o=d;s=pop sorted by popularity.

A good starter might be Clannad.

Another way is to just skip straight to the source and read VNs instead. try mangagamer.com or tlwiki.com
