Update - I've asked Kotobukiya to give you goodies. Will update you soon.

Kotobukiya liked the photos of the rooms that you submitted so much that they want to publish a book filled with your photos called Otacool!

-Book is due out in October-ish in Japan and Kotobukiya are looking at distribution channels to get it to folks overseas.
-Will feature rooms of dannychoo.com readers.
-Kotobukiya will need your consent to use your photos.
-We need high res photos. If you do not want your room in the book then don't submit the photo when I open submissions at figure.fm - will be sometime next week. We already have your current photos but they are not high res which mean you need to resubmit them if you want to be in the book. Mirai Gaia keeps the original sized image.
-Only folks who have a figure.fm account can participate. The figure.fm member database is a snapshot taken from the dannychoo.com database a month ago.
-Kotobukiya cant pay money for use of your photo and for the record I'm not getting money from sales of the book either. Kotobukiya and I do have a separate consulting contract where I help them with web strategies.
-The book will have a few pages dedicated to my room and looks like they are trying to get hold of Shokotan or Hirano Aya to do something with me - not confirmed yet.
-Will also have a load of Mirai and Haruka chan dotted about the book ^^;
-When I open submissions, folks who would like a photo of their room published in Otacool should submit a high res photo at figure.fm and tag it "otacool".
Kotobukiya will choose the best rooms and publish the photo in the book.
-There will be a few questions like "how long have you been collecting X" and "How much is your X collection" etc
-Unfortunately Kotobukiya cant give out copies to folks who have pics of their room published - was not my decision - sorry!
-However, the book will be on sale across Japan and you can expect your room to be profiled to folks across Japan and highlight your website. How often is is that you have a photo of your room and your profile/website published in a book by an established company?
-When you post stuff at figure.fm from now on, you may want to post in Japanese too - use the language switches on the post edit page to add Japanese.

Photo below shows you a mock up of the pages - data is only a mock and will not actually be used without permission.

For now, I'm calling out to the 10 folks who won the 20090326 Giveaway as Kotobukiya want to use photos of your room in promotion materials at conferences in the US and at the Wonder Festival. And your room will be on the cover.

If you are one of the 10 winners and don't mind photos of your room being used in huge posters profiled to hundreds of thousands, then please get along to Figure.fm and upload high res images of your room. Use the multi image upload feature to upload different angles of your room.
Tag your upload "otacool." Kotobukiya will take whats available on Monday JST - if your photo is not there then you wont make the cut.

Expect more collaborations with the figure makes which involve dannychoo.com members!

And (and?) There will be another giveaway at the beginning of next week - I initially thought it was going to be only 1000 USD but its more - 1070 USD worth! And only for *current* figure.fm members. Remember that the figure.fm database is a snapshot of the dannychoo.com member database taken a while ago. Try logging in with your DC account.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

This item was posted in the Figures category. You can see more of everything else or subscribe via RSS instead.

Wow, that sure is a big promotion that is going to happen. I wish that my collection was large so I could submit a worthy photo ;_;. This is something that i will be picking up when it hits store shelves.

The new giveaway will be of epic proportions, 1070 USD worth, wow. I hope it's not another one with vague clues, i'm terrible at those ^^; "current" means if you've logged in or? cause I haven't yet.

Ohh, so this is the thing that involved DC members, cool.

Just don't get why members selected for the book can't get free copies.

Otacool, good name.

    Still kinda lame in my opinion. They are using the pictures and rooms of the people without any compensation, then telling the people who gave their pictures for free to go out and give them $30-$40 for the book that contains their own room.

How many photos will they be publishing in the book? Would like to know what are the chances of being selected.

$1070 o.O That is one big give away... that prize is just too much, hopefully it can be split between winners and runnerups. Still wondering what competition it could be..

Sounds really great, I would love to have my room published since this may be a one in a life time chance, but I can't...........don't have a good camera which means my photo will always be blurry and of all my collection isn't that great and my room isn't that great. Have to pass on this chance offer.

LoL jeez another hard decision... When I first entered the room giveaway I was wondering if I should even enter or not XD If I do post mine then I might update with new photos. If only this come a month later because I'll have a cleaner room by then ^^;;

Oh and Danny, you mean the 11 winners, right? Unless you don't want to count mine lol. I'll think about posting it again... the possibility of Shokotan talking about my room is something related to my interest. If Kotobukiya can make it happen for sure then consider it posted, lol XD

Hmm Mirai mark on the bottom right corner of the last pic. I wonder what she's covering...

You know, I've never really logged into or even visited figure.fm until now. I really like the new platform but I can't say I'll post much of anything. Which is also why I don't think my room is worthy of this book. ^^;

Am I technically a "current" member of figure.fm because of my DC seniority?

    Thanks for the reply! I'll probably have to re-take my images as the originals were pretty low-res to begin with and I stitched a bunch together for the original giveaway. Ah well, my collection has grown since then at least, so a new shoot is warranted.

I apologize if I should be asking this elsewhere, but I have a question I'd like to have answered. I can log into figure.fm just fine, but when I clicked on "Upload" at figure.fm, I was taken to a page that said "Sorry, you don't have enough privilege level to access this area.". Is this because I didn't have more than 50 posts at the time the snapshot of the dannychoo.com database was taken? I'd really like to submit my photos so I can be part of the Otacool book.

valvwen in the Luminiferous Aether (Registered on 2007/05/12)

It does seem like a neat idea. I think it is kind of strange though, that they want people to give them free content for their book (that I assume they think they can make money with), and they can't even be bothered to give them a free copy of the book.

It would be one thing if it was an art magazine or something similar. Then you are actually getting free advertising from it, so it would be worth it (look, I created this picture and it is getting published!). [Although, even then, the few times it has happened to me, I actually got a pile of free magazines from the company.]

But in this case, you are just showing off how much money you spent. Definitely worth it to try to win a contest, but not so much when your reward is the obligation to buy someone's book.

I sent you an email about this Danny with a few questions ^^

Flickr doesn't have high enough res pictures and tons has changed/been added to my room so wanted to just take new shots if that was alright with you ^^

I assume the questions they want to ask us will be asked later? ^^a

you know, that pic used in the 2 page mockup looks really familiar... wait a minute, THAT'S MY ROOM!!!!

Aa, Guess I really can't excuse myself from this one then... I'll have to retake the pics since I "lost" the originals. Still, can't complain about having my room on the cover of a book!
That might take a little while. Man, And I was going to move stuff around my room this weekend to make way for my new desktop PC (yes, I said Desktop PC!! Not mac)
And writing posts in Japanese on figure.fm, huh? And I thought I was having a hard time with my limited japanese on the FG boards...

And danny, no offence to Aya (and her fans will probably lynch me for saying this) but I hope you get to work with Shouko-Tan!!!

My room (office really) isn't that otaku rich for such a book though I'm afraid.

Hi Danny,
I submitted a few pictures of my room.
I hope it is otaku enough to be selected to be in the book.

http://figure.fm/post/en/106/Tim-s-Otaku-Room.html (English post)
http://figure.fm/post/ja/106/Tim%E3%81%AE%E3%82%AA%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AF%E3%81%AA%E9%83%A8%E5%B1%8B.html (Japanese post)

By the way, the bilingual posting feature is really fantastic, I wish my wordpress blog could do the same!
Always maintaining two seperate blogs with the same content in different languages is rather hectic.

  but you still need to type in the Japanese yourself in figure.fm as if it's a separate post so it's pretty easy to make a second page on a wordpress blog which will mimic the main english posts but in japanese, since you will be the one writing it.
  
  I would try something like that but my Japanese is very basic at best. Guess I'll have to start small.

    Hmm I see. Still not quite sure how to do that in wordpress.
    
    I currently use wordpress MU and have two seperate blogs, so everything is a seperate post. It works well, but it gets annoying when I have to reupload the same images a second time though.
    
    Danny's bilingual posting feature seems to take care of that problem. The only thing is it didn't let me type the Japanese version or add multiple images until I actually posted it and then went back to edit it.
