C3 Stage

Today we look at the shenanigans that went on around the stage areas at C3 Hong Kong. There were many performers that included AKB48, SKE48 but only realized *after* their performances that my pass allowed me to sneak around the stage area ^^;
First photo is with some of the comrades who stayed behind for a group photo after I gave a talk about Culture Japan.

Backstage area where all the hardware is.

Morning meeting with the Milky Holmes girls.

Rehearsal time.

Also uploaded more pics of the Milky Holmes girls to the Bushiroad site.

They should perform in their normal gear more often!

Bushiroad big boss Kidani-san oversees the rehearsals.

Post rehearsal meeting with the MC before they go live in the afternoon.

And then its time for the girls to come on stage.

But before that, Kidani-san has a few words.

Ame Agari no Mirai was one of the tunes that the girls performed.

Interview time with the Animax crew.

And then its time for voice actor Toru Furuya to spend some time with the locals. Many folks will recognize his voice as Amuro for the original Gundam.

Then its time for me to spend time with comrades. Animax Hong Kong is rerunning the first season of Culture Japan TV this month and I was working with them to give the show a wee plug.

Was my first time speaking publicly in Cantonese ^^; Hardly speak it so always end up confusing people when I do ^^;

And that rounds up the coverage of C3 in Hong Kong - previous posts listed up below.
