Over the weekend, Microsoft held a Ninety-Nine Nights cosplay event in Akihabara. The game's resident genius Tetsuya Mizuguchi was on hand to promote the 360 title, a co-production between Japanese and Korean designers. The event also marked the pairing of clothing maker COSPA and Microsoft. When Akiba idol Shoko Nakagawa appeared on stage in witch gal Tyurru costume, the crowd of otaku went gaga.
Shoko-tan (Shoko-chan) even live blogged the event from her cell phone.
Her guerilla journo efforts went something like "Kitaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (SMILE FACES) I'm on the stage. There's a buncha people here. (SMILE FACES) Cosplay is great! (SMILE FACES) Wow (SMILE FACES)"
Regular readers of her blog will notice a significant stylistic change. Her posts typically vacillate between photos of herself and her cat. Her N3 post were of her costume or herself. Now that the event is over, she's returned to regular cat coverage.
