Akihabara Yamato Expo 2010 Valentine's Day Event & Giveaway!

15.02.2010 by Adrian A. Lozano


The Yamato Expo 2010 Valentine Special Event was held over this past weekend at Bellesalle Akihabara building. The event's primary goal was to promote the Yamato 3 Pachinko game but they did manage to sneak in a few interesting elements for a non-Pachinko enthusiast like my self. Fuji also brought back the 2009 Tokyo Anime Fair Yuki Mori booth babes which were going around passing out Valentine's Day chocolates in front of the 1/3 scale bow replica of the Space Battleship with canon firing lights and sound effect. Sugoi!!




There was also a hands on Pachinko section and Yamato 3D theater. Showing was a 3D version of one of the Yamato Pachinko promos which I had seen before on months back, but seeing it projected in 3D was incredible!

FREE STUFF COME AND GET IT!!!
So do we have any readers out there who are die hard Yamato fans and would like to get some free Yamato Expo schwag? Well we have two promo packs to give out to the first two Yamato fans (not located in Japan) who send us a picture of their Yamato collection or links to their fan site or blog. Email me at o2info[at]otaku2.com subject Yamato Expo Goodies.
