Souvenirs from the recently held Daicon. If you’re wondering, the chibi Yuki on top of Minorin’s autograph was a sketch I requested from a doujin artist. GJ from her, thanks Macy. :)
..
Was there during both days of the events, and pretty much I enjoyed myself. Besides Chihara Minori, the bigger reason is probably because it was held in the campus where I spent four years of my life, therefore going back to the place feels somewhat nostalgic-y to me.
Anyways, just let the photos do all the talking. About 70 photos in total, so be patient and let the images load. ^^”

Grand hall for the event. The first time and the last time I was here was during convocation two years ago. Frankly speaking, I don’t think I’d even be here for Daicon if I wasn’t from this uni. It’s not easy to come to this in-the-middle-of-no-where desert if you don’t know the way.

Easily the most awesome cosplayers through out the event. The Kuroshitsuji characters are almost perfectly played, along with the highly detailed costumes and props. Best. Love all the characters. Need to finish Kuroshitsuji anime!

Minorin’s Q&A session.
Minorin’s event is 90% focus of Daicon, and it’s so obvious. Anyways, she looks so much better in person (from my distance) and her live singing was very much better than what I’ve expected. She sings surprisingly well.
The concert was basically a major exercise fest from the beginning till the end thanks to the hardcore fans from Japan. Not just preparing the glowing sticks, lyrics, and mini flags, they also lead the fellow local otaku jumping and waving and swinging the blue and red sticks all the way.
..
Mareshia saikou da, kono bakayarou! – love my HD cam. Got good seats too thanks to sis’s friends.
Quite an experience I’d say, got my eyes opened. But probably won’t spend on these kinda mini concert thingy again unless it’s Miyano Mamoru or Kamiya Hiroshi. Actually I don’t think I want to listen to Kamiya san sings even – an autograph session will do. Hmm wait.. I think KOTOKO is good. :P

Now I have two Minorin’s autographs in my room. What do I do with them, eh.
Hah.

haham I would love to have those Lucky Star nendo puchi.. ^^
Nice pictures!! There were many good cosplays.
Su | August 5th, 2009 at 11:49 pm
Nope, that’s not a male maid. Remember, always when males do a female cosplay they cosplay a Touhou character. In this case the dude cosplyed as Marisa – the main witch of the series.
Senn | August 6th, 2009 at 1:59 am
I see.. thanks for the explanation Su! :)
