音楽と映像の日々

The Comic market 82 had opened from 10 (Friday) to 12 (Sunday) Aug. 2012 at Tokyo big site in Japan. Participants affectionately call “Comic market” as “KOMIKE”. This event is the biggest and oldest a coterie magazine spot sale society.

I got chances watching the 1st costume play area in 11 and 12 two days. I try to report “KOSUPURE” in English with no pictures.

Costume players enjoy with clothes which are their love characters in comics, animations, video games and light novels. I found many “VOCALOID” as “MIKU HATSUNE”, “RIN and REN KAGAMINE”and “RUKA MEGURINE”. The young likes to listen to their songs at NICONICO DOGA.

There are “Project Shrine Maiden” characters in the area. “Project Shrine Maiden” is famous shooting game made by a coterie circle.

I found “lost children” in this area. Their names are “CHIBI USA” of “Sailor Moon”, “MAYOI HACHIKUJI” of “BAKEMONOGATARI”, “RIKA FURUDE” of “HIGURASHI NO NAKU KORO NI” and “TOMOKA MINATO” of “RHOKYUBU”. They are cute little girls. If they are in downtown area without a parent, policeman will protect them as lost children. Of course, they are not children in real life.

“JOSHIRAKU” members “KUKURU ANRAKUTEI”,”GANKYOU KUURUBIYUTEI”,“MARII BURATEI”, “KIGURUMI HAROUKITEI”, and “Masked comic storyteller” sat under the rays of the sun in summer. I would like to ask to MARII “are you hot?” I know she will answer “Don’t you ask me a trivial thing!”

“MAKIHA Mari Illustrious” of “EVANGELION:2.0 YOU CAN (NOT) ADVANCE” does not put her glasses on. She says “I forgot my glasses” with a smile. She got into a pose for my picture with a UCC EVA can coffee.

I met a lady guitarist (I do not know her character name) stroked GACHAPIN by her guitar. I tried to request to make their peace. They forgave their mistakes, and they gave each other a hug.

“TORA-SAN”, he is the celebrated hero of Japanese movie title “OTOKO HA TSURAIYO”. I do not know why he came back to ARIAKE, not KASTUSHIKA from Heaven in the Bon.

Transformer costume is a laborious work. But I found a towel from his the breast parts. No one can win the summer sunshine.

If this report be well received by readers, I will write another cool Japan event report again.
