Osaka? That's a bit far away from Tokyo if I recall :S, if I got to Japan I'll be getting off in Haneda or Narita which is closer to the city of Tokyo. So why don't they do this also in there ^^

Osaka is a little cheaper than Tokyo - the price of a (small) hotel room can be as little as $20 a night!! Try that in Tokyo. Also, Osaka is a little more easy to navigate, is has prettier parks, WAY better food, and last but not least really outgoing people(!)

Kansai people are the bomb....

So... Right when I get off the plane... BAM! Everywhere, cosplayers. That sounds... rather akward for those who don't know what is happening, but rather is nice to take pictures with.

LOL, do they cosplay as eroge characters with their skimpy outfits? If there are, I'm heading there right now!

oh really...  Me and my friends once thought that putting a Maid Cafe in an Airport might draw a crowd...

More acceptance of the otaku culture?

Indeed, Otaku culture is slated to become the leading culture in Japan.

Thanks for the reading.
Btw, the Nekomimi mode video (link provided in the article) is truly catchy, cute and funny. ^^

It's not really "another" news website really, since it's featured here in the partner feeds section ^^

It's http://www.japanprobe.com/ ^_^

Last October in Narita I didn't see any Cosplayers, but I did see a customs man rummaging around my suitcase looking for Playboy magazines.

Hope this lasts for awhile, cuz in August, I might go to Japan. I'd LOVE to be greeted by cosplaying Japanese girls.

ARGH, why is my flight next week booked through Narita??? v_v

Are these inside the customs zone, or inside the main airport? Might be worthwhile just to travel across to Osaka for a peek. ^_^

Wow I guess I have to watch out for both maids and immigration. And how does fingerprinting stop terrorists again? They need all your prints instead of just one and photos don't help if you change your image. Oh well, looking at some scantily clad maids makes things all better!
