Even though many of you have complemented the old mayamada website, we felt it was still time for a change to push things forward.

We’ve been hard at work on the new website so it’s now easier for you to get products, find out about every mayamada character and see events past and present.

Here are some of the changes…

We’ve brought together all the main mayamada highlights in one place so you can get a better picture of what’s new with mayamada at any time.

New Online Shop

You can also create your own account to view order status and history. And as always, we accept all major credit cards or you can pay with your Paypal account.

Jaunty Performing at Frozen Yogurt Party

mayamada April 1, 2013 No Comments

We’re now just a couple of weeks away from the Frozen Yogurt Party and so far, you’ve heard about the frozen yogurt.  You’ve heard about the pop up shop.  You’ve heard about the video game tournaments and even the Giant Jenga.

What else is there to talk about right?

Wrong.  We’re proud to reveal that London hip-hop artist Jaunty will be performing live at the Frozen Yogurt Party!

Jaunty has been an early supporter of mayamada and can be seen sporting their Samurai Chef tee in a recent video.

You can also pick up his EP on the night.  All this is on top of  a live DJ at the event, who will be providing a great music all throughout the event.

Jaunty will be performing from 9pm so make sure you grab a seat or any space going in what is sure to be a packed Saturday evening at Tutti Frutti.

There’ll be lots of frozen yogurt, games and our popup shop filled with t-shirts, snapback caps and the new Samurai Chef manga book for purchase!

Samurai Chef Indiegogo Update

 

It’s been a while since the end of our fund raising campaign and we’re sorry for not providing an update on the progress of the project.

The main news to report is that the book is unfortunately being delayed by a few months.

The book artwork is in progress but this means the printed copy of the book itself will not be shipping until February 4th 2013.

We’re really sorry to have to push things back, but we will be releasing the other perks of the project over the next two months before Christmas.

This includes the t-shirt design in December, the complete PDF version of the manga in mid January ahead of the release of the printed book itself in early February.

Starting today, we’ll send out updates on the project every two weeks. You can expect the next update on Friday November 9th.

For now we have a sneak peek at two of the new characters you’ll be seeing in the Samurai Chef book: Jimi and Mary. Both will be featuring in the book along side the Samurai Chef himself.

 

Jimi

The host of the Samurai Chef.  Jimi provides play by play of the action in his unique flavour.

Mary

Samurai Chef production assistant.  Mary does work across different shows including some clean up tasks.  And there is plenty to clean up on the Samurai Chef!

 

New Project Dates

Again, we’re very sorry the project is being delayed, but stick with us and we’ll make sure you’re not dissapointed with the final result.

So, here are the important dates to remember:

  • Monday November 26th: Badge sets and artwork done.
  • Saturday December 8th: T-Shirt available for release.
  • Tuesday December 25th: Online manga preview of the Samurai Chef.
  • Monday January 14th: Complete PDF version of Samurai Chef available.
  • Monday February 4th: Printed edition of the Samurai Chef manga ships.

Thanks again for backing the Samurai Chef and see you again in two weeks 🙂
