Japanese Festival Duesseldorf 2008

As you all know, I'm not a big fan of any Japanese series or Anime or Manga, but I like the Japanese culture and food especially, not to forget Japanese chics are one of the finest in the world. Though I've been here for 4 years, I've never been dragged to any of these festival before knowing the fact that Duesseldorf is one of the largest Japanese area out of Japan. Nevertheless why did i go?? It was all because of meeting up with Nicholas and Eriko of course.

Here's some pics...

First we start up by buying food of course, since we reached around lunch hour
This booth from Kikoman, a very famous brand for selling japanese sauces such as Teriyaki or Jap Soya sauce.

Yummy Oishi desu ne!!!!

Then, we go for the atmosphere. It's cosplay day. Many of them wore costumes of mainly Japanese Manga and Anime, with some small part just wearing a simple Jap traditional dresses, and some idiots who tried to be like a Jap but ended up being a Punk!

Punk vs Jap with samurai sword...



Forgive me for being such a noob in Japanese Anime/Manga. I really don't know nothing about them. Maybe you can tell me what are those characters. Of course Nikki and Eriko knew some of them since they're fans and Eriko is a Jap herself.

But still I enjoy watching them in those costumes after all, some of them are chics!!



But despite not knowing anything about those costumes, I so happen to be one of the players of Final Fantasy 7 long time ago. I knew at least one character.....the villian...

Sephiroth!!



He's the limelight and even the German TV WDR shoot him on air.....and I am not a coward to stand beside him to take a photo with him, after all I slashed him with my ultima weapon..x4 cut too...ahh i forgot all the skills name adi...it's been like....8 years ago??

Huha, sau kool!!!!

After 2 1/2 hours, it was raining donkeys and monkeys(instead of cats and dogs) and so we need some cover...

it's time for a coffee break at.....................

STARBUCKS of course...

Then we headed back to the fest and this time Adrian joined us for the fireworks...


Finally the happy ending of the story was......



The beautiful and romantic fireworks.....

nice nice fireworks!! haha.

haha. some cosplay i think is not really cosplay but just mainly adopting the harajuku style. the most distinctive is bleach and naruto. though i like these two like mad, i still feel cosplaying as any of these characters are pretty boring as it is a common sight at cosplay events.
