When I was in in Japan for the Animax Musix Concert 2011 last November, I visited a couple of Anime Paradise and picked up quite a bit of Brochures. It’s not much but storing pictures of them privately in my HDD seemed pointless so I decided to share the random Anime stuffs I saw in Japan. Hope you guys enjoy it!

K-on plushies in a UFO catcher at Ikebukuro.
When I went over in November, K-On was everywhere! From big pillar Posters to collaborating with the Konbini (Convenience Shop) Franchise , Lawson. This was all to promote the launch of the Movie which opened in theatres 3rd Dec 2011.
The promotional brochure and stamp booklet I got at A-Cos, Ikebukuro.
The Stamp Booklet is a really cute activity for fans to play with. Basically you go to the selected place, pick up a copy of the booklet and venture to other participating outlets with a stamp machine for you to stamp on.
This picture is taken in a Lawson in Ikebukuro. Notice the Stamp device on the top right hand corner? Yea, you place your booklet (or should I call it a card ?) and stamp into one of the allocated circle/space.
Some of the Cosplay/ Butler brochures I picked up at A-Cos.
Yukio from Ao no Exorcist!
Royal Servant, a Cosplay Butler Cafe in Ikebukuro area (I think). And yes, Kaname works there too.
A random arcade/ UFO Catcher shop in Ikebukuro
Brochures from the Evangelion shop. I think it’s about the launch of a Evangelion Karaoke room. Anyone care to translate >w<? I talked more about the Evangelion Flagship store over at miccostumes . Pop over to see more photos of the merchandise!
Evangelion merchandise I got! Will be giving the file away soon so look out for it ^_^
Namecards I got from the Puella magi Madoka Magica Cafe ( Goodsmile Cafe). Pop over to this entry to see more of the Goodsmile cafe.
With this I end my very random ‘Snippets of Japan’ entry. Hope you guys had as much fun looking at these little snippets of Japan as I had taking photos of them! Leave me a comment to tell me to stop these entries if you don’t like it =(!
