MY INCREDIBLY OVERDUE J-POP CON REPORT


VERY GOOD. Way way way better than London Expo, I'd have to say it's actually one of the better organised events I've been too, chaotic yes, but an organised sort of chaos. It just reeks (is this even a good word?) of fan-made-ness. It's the kind of event one goes to and the "by the fans, for the fans" ideology permeates into every corner of the event. It reminds me of the good ole days of Singaporean cosplay events...my suntec MAC EoYs....for the Singaporeans think of J-pop con as SoY, on a BIG scale and hosting WCS

I didn't quite like the event venue because it was kinda small, J-pop con seems to be an event that has quickly outgrown its event venue because its just so good that it's popular, but I hear it's upgrading to a better venue (again) next year so joy Too bad I won't be there to see it. I didn't really get to see the merchandise booths because I was busy with my panel (YES I HAD A PANEL AND IT WENT BRILLIANTLY EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T KNOW WUD ON EARTH I WAS DOING. P.S. thank you to those who came for it and the awesome PC guy who found soya pics lol) and WCS judging and just dramu in general (oh lol). But I hear it's the usual stuff you get in western conventions :/ I makes me feel really grateful that I'm in Singapore and we have KKnM (SINGAPOREANS, PLS TREASURE KKNM AND KINO, THEY'RE THE MOST AWESOME THINGS YOU CAN GET OUT OF JAPAN) I like how they have panels, I spent most of my time at panels, oh woe is me, but they were good panels so yeah. At least they don't leave their WCS reps floundering *coughs*.

I've been told that J-pop con organisation is bad, and dudes THAT IS A TOTAL LIE. You want bad organisation? You go London Expo, that was absolutely HORRIBLE, for a fans-by-fans con, I'd say J-pop con is very well organised compared to alot of other similar events I've been too, and I think a selling point is the people. Though I'd say the same thing about malaysian cons. Amazing audience, I'm amazed at how many people sat through the entire cosplay comp, PEOPLE ACTUALLY CARE IN DENMARK *sniffs* it warms my heart to see it The cosplayers are generally friendly, though me being obviously NOT Danish and not being able to speak Danish was a MINUS MINUS MINUS point. I think I stood out like a sore thumb, I had more make-up on my face than 5 danish cosplayers put-together (this was a running joke throughout sat and sun) though it was lovely having ppl come up to me and telling me I was pretty (you never get that in singapore unless they're stalker ojijis OTL) I met amazing people, the cosplay comp participants, RXJ I love you gals, thankz for keeping me company on the 2nd day and introducing me to your friends, YOKUME CHAN~~ , and wedding peach, you were such a sweetie, and it was nice talking to the Code Ghey-ass people too <3 AND THE BLACK LAGOON(swedish?) TEAM, MY LOVE FOR YOU IS ETERNAL AND INFINITE, PLEASE ACCEPT IT <3

I was lucky enough to have , and as my fellow judges who gave me the most beautiful crack ever and spoke ENGLISH to me. SO SHOOT ME WHEN I SAY PLS DO THE OPENING/CLOSING SPEECHES IN ENGLISH NIELS. YES NIELS, ENGLISH, THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE, but I still love you very much so don't worry (I just feel really bad for poor Ida who had to give us a running translation) But Kudos to the organising team, I don't care what your own people say, but this international gal is telling you that your event rawks. if i have the money I'll definitely come back again in a few years and hopefully drag a few more singaporeans/malaysians with me


And after all the dramu that was my last journal entry (note I'm not going to entertain any judging issues on THIS entry, comment on the other one KNS <3)

Congrats and all the best to and @ the 2010 WCS <3 <3 <3
