Art Museum of LEGO Vignette

I just found what seems to be the Japanese equivalent of VignetteBricks! The Art Museum of LEGO Vignette. It is in Japanese, but from my Babel Fish translation, it seems that there was an intitial thread on a Japanese-language message board (which seems to have a broken link), and various contributors built their own vignettes. Those creations, as well as more recent vignettes by AFOLs from Japan, are documented in this on-line museum. There are lots of great MOCs there (though I have to admit that I don't get some of them--I assume they're related to anime or other cultural references that I don't recognize). Here, for example, is one entitled Chim Chim Charee by Tera.



If someone knows more about this site, or if they know about the Japanese-language message board where these creations were first posted, I'd love to know more.

I think this is from Mary Poppins (the movie) the song on the rooftops with the chimney sweeps. I guess they have old Disney movies in Japan too...

The links are broken, but I was able to find Morihiro's new home page:

http://morihiro.cside.com/lego/

Title roughly translates "I Like LEGO After All."

Looks like the BBS is indeed dead, though, and I can't seem to find any Japanese LEGO forums equivalent to FBTB, Classic-Castle, or LUGNET.
