Akihabara

Real-life map of Sotokanda, the largest portion of Akihabara

The **Sotokanda** (外神田) and **Kanda-Sakumachō** (神田佐久間町) Districts, collectively known as **Akihabara Electric Town** (秋葉原電気街, *Akihabara Denki Gai*), and also known as either **Akihabara** (秋葉原) or just **Akiba** (秋葉), is a location featured in *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES*, *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative* and the Lemniscate YouTube series.

Akiba is a famous section in the Chiyoda District, Tokyo, filled with stores and locales specializing in anime, video games, and general otaku culture. The Sunfish Pocket maid cafe is located within the AST building in 1-Chome Sotokanda, at the very edge of Akiba.

## Locations

	+ Sunfish Pocket (maid café)

* Brioche Dorée Yodobashi (french bakery w/ boba tea)
* MATCHA 365 (boba tea store)

## Trivia

* The real-life location of the AST building is the 2nd building out of the 5 "SEGA Akihabara Buildings," which can all be found in 1-Chome Sotokanda in Akihabara. The design of the building itself, as well as the various promotions to "Akihabara SPCHUN Theater," appears to be based off the "AKB48 Theater" building, which is located in 4-Chome Sotokanda.
	+ Sunfish Pocket is an anagram of Spike Chunsoft, the developers of *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES*. The performance group SPCHUN is a Spike Chunsoft reference as well.
	+ On the outside of the AST building, the poster next to the Sunfish Pocket poster is for the game *Zero Escape Volume 1: Nine Hours Nine Persons Nine Doors*, developed by Spike Chunsoft, and written/directed Kotaro Uchikoshi. On the fifth floor, posters for *Zero Escape: The Nonary Games* (a bundle containing *Volume 1: Nine Hours Nine Persons Nine Doors* and *Volume 2: Virtue's Last Reward*) and for *Zero Escape Volume 3: Zero Time Dilemma* can be seen at the top of the image.
* On To-Witter, Aseton has gotten boba tea from 8 different locations throughout Tokyo, with the exact places being unspecified. Three of those stores (Brioche Dorée, MATCHA 365, and MOOGA) only have one store open in Tokyo each, all located in Akihabara. These specific stores are the places Aseton has visited based on real life locations where she has gotten boba tea in.
