Niconico Chokaigi 2 – Venue

I went to Niconico Chokaigi 2 last weekend.

First of all, Niconico Live is a daily streaming which broadcast game battle, singing, dancing, chatting,painting etc…. As you may know, Vocaloid is originally from Niconico live.

Some people who loves game and anime were having discussion, playing games, doing cosplay, and singing Karaoke. The good thing is you can see the event via the Niconico live from your PC at home. It’s close to Comic Market, but the big difference is that those events are streaming on the internet. That was the 2nd time which gathered over 100K people to see and join the event.

I joined Mihama Manga MegaExpo Ver3 in Okinawa. Here is some picture in Okinawa!! We can enjoy the beach even in Japan. Luckily, the temperature on that day was 27 C! That’s Okinawa temperature :). We can take Cosplay pictures on the beach as well.

One thing I surprised was there were so many non-Japanese attendees which was not happen in Tokyo. I assume that there is a American base.
The location itself is wonderful but they enjoyed dancing, cosplaying and attending some free-markets!!

Here are Cosplay Cars, bicycles and truck!!
