Tokyo CGM Night becomes cosplay party!
16.06.2009 by Patrick W. Galbraith
The fifth installment of Danny Choo's bloggers meetup, Tokyo CGM Night, was held Monday night and populated by some faces very familiar in Akihabara. Akiba TV and Asahina Marin (dressed as Ayanami Rei) were there, and they brought a group of otagei dancers to promote a new DVD. Also in attendance was Chazuke from Newtype and one of Akiba's leading joso cosplayers. Cutie Pai, including Akiba subculture photographer , were also there. To top it off, two girls were cosplaying as characters from "Valkyrie Complex" to promote the game. Otaku2 attended for the first time, and it was surely the right time to do it!
