Publishing in Japan

POSTED BY DANNY CHOO On Wed 2009/09/16 22:50 JST in Japanese Pop Culture
Got hold of the final design just before it goes to print and thought I'd share some of it with you. First photo is taken from my section of the book.
We get to see Mirai-chan dotted around the book and Amano Ai-chan is in the book too.
Ah, Steve Sansweet from Lucasfilm is featured as well - wonder what incredible Star Wars stuff he has in his room.
My section. Text is in both English and Japanese throughout the book.
The English that you see in these drafts is purposely translated Engrishy from the Japanese ^^;
I was asked to mosaic my other page - I get 4 in total ^^;
De JaY can sleep now that he knows he's definitely been chosen to be in the book. Congrats!
The other photos of his room at Figure.fm.
No surprises here - incredible room belonging to most gorgeous cosplayer Alodia.
The rest of her room at Figure.fm.
Kawaiii! Am I allowed to say that about a friend?
The last room that we can reveal today is from Aya.
A lovely moe shrine filled with posters that I want. Wonder if he will send some to me. The rest of his room at Figure.fm.
Another snap from Aya's room. Absolutely love this shot with his two daughters.
Aya also takes great Dollfie photos like this photo shoot.
You can see all submitted room over at Figure.fm.
Otacool is available for pre-order at Amazon for 1575 yen and is due out end of October.
I will be at the launch event with Amano Ai which will take place at the Kotobukiya store at Akihabara. More details soon.
Kotobukiya will announce the winners of the Asuka figure soon.
But back to the detail page for Otacool at Amazon - the interesting thing is the "Frequently Brought Together" feature which tells us that folks are buying some ecchi manga in the form of Akisora at the same time ^^;
Hmmmmm. Me wonders why...
If you know why then let us know ^^;
