Welp, this is our last full day. Today we planned to just shop in Denden town and try to find fumos.
I ate THE tamago for breakfast.
We walked into another gachapon hall, and I found a couple of cool things. Unfortunately got the worst version of monday guy, but I got 2 very cool miniatures of office (printer and desk with screen), so overall I’m satisfied.
When we walked out, suddenly we got swarmed by cosplayers everywhere! We didn’t think of it too much, and walked into K-BOOKS.
I finally saw fumos there for the first time, but it was characters that I didn’t care about. Then immediately saw nesoberis, but once again, nothing interesting for me. I really wanted to get Homura nesoberi, but I had almost zero expectations for it. Walked more, and suddenly saw Sayaka nesoberi. It annoyed me, because I keep getting her instead of Homura or Madoka… Not interested!!!
When we walked out from K-BOOKS, literally at the entrance was Homura and Madoka cosplayers, which caught me off guard so hard. I didn’t expect that at all, lol. I really wanted to take photos of them, but was too shy to ask.
We walked out, and there was even more people around, with cosplayers everywhere. █████████████ said he wants to get out from there, so we separated for a bit. I just walked around the streets looking at all of the cool cosplayers.
I saw another Madoka and Homura cosplayers, and this time I got courage to ask for the photo, and they gladly agreed.
I was super happy that I actually got to take photos of them with my camera, and the photos ended up looking pretty professional! After asking one cosplayer, it became much easier for me to ask others.
I also saw cute Chii and Misuzu cosplayers, but unfortunately they were walking through the crowds, so I couldn’t find a good moment to ask.
We reunited and were a bit tired and hungry, so went to the nearby restaurant we visited earlier and ate some yummy ramen.
I learnt that this was apparently annual Nipponbashi Street Festival, which is one of the biggest cosplay festivals in Japan. We got so lucky, we didn’t even expect anything when going here! I remember leaving Reisaitai and feeling sad that I didn’t take any photos of cosplayers, but this day paid for everything and even better!
We went to the arcade and played games for a while.
My brother asked to find him some figurines of stuff he likes, and we walked around, but unfortunately didn’t find anything good. Same with fumos, seems like I’m gonna leave Japan without one, after all. Unfortunate.
