FUKURO from JAPAN in ANIME EXPO 2024

FUKURO from JAPAN in Anime Expo 2024
     After re-opening my blog, here's my first post, which turns out to be a live report of the visual rock band, FUKURO FROM JAPAN! Anime Expo 2024 just happened last weekend, and after quickly skimming through this year's list of talents, one of the very few music acts that actually came from Japan. Since I am writing on my own blog and not for a company, I have to warn you all that I will be more casual in my writing style. Anyway, read on to see how this band performed during AX2024!

     So, Anime Expo has been done for over two months already...but I still got a couple of posts that need to go up and this is one of them. I was able to get a good seat covering the very popular Fashion Show at Anime Expo and will be coming out with an official report about the event for VKH-Press. But in the mean time and while waiting for that post to get published, I'll share with you all the pictures I took during the event. And here, we have JapanLa with their "The Simpsons x Hello Kitty" & "Rilakkuma" Collection that opened the show!

The h.NAOTO Booth @ AX2015

H.NAOTO Booth @ Anime Expo 2015
     On the last day of Anime Expo 2015, I was supposed to attend another press con featuring Shinya of Dir En Grey and designer, h.NAOTO. Unfortunately, it was cancelled. My sister and I were disappointed because usually on the last day, we take our time enjoying our beautiful hotel and taking our time packing up. We actually took the time to wake up early, swim for a bit, eat breakfast, get ready to go while packing to get to the convention for Day 4. Since we took that effort, we decided to go around the Exhibition Hall and visit the h.NAOTO booth, which is a good thing because I was so busy working that I never took the time to look around and enjoy the convention for what it is.

This is a gothic lolita fan's dream like my sister! Even if none of the clothes fit us (as the girl led us to the accessories), you don't want to miss out on the bling they got! My sis ended up buying those pretty hair scrunchies she's holding. Btw, isn't it so cool that even the booth attendants manifests the brand themselves? Cooooool.

     I was also able to capture the designer, Hirooka Naoto, himself at work! We also approached him for a quick pic (as seen below) and had a little chit-chat. He said that the press con was cancelled because Shinya had to fly back to Japan. But it's totally fine, we both (especially me) had a pretty good view of the rock star drummer this 4th of July weekend and we were able to take a better look at the line which was the highlight of the Fashion Show (my official report on this will be up soon along with a personal blog post on it!). The quality of the items are very high and you can tell why it's also priced equally high. Also, compared to the other lines that appeared in the Fashion Show, this booth was the biggest and had the most items... they definitely came to AX2015 well stocked! If you love the punk & gothic lolita look, h.NAOTO is one of the brands you should look at!
