K-On - School Revisit

On this trip I also went back to the old Toyosato Elementary School which was shown in K-On. For comparison shots, check out my posts of the outsides, the insides and the music rooms.



This is the platform at Toyosato Station.




They were actually changing the station signs when I visited. These new ones had Akane Toyosato, the Tetsudou Musume character for Ohmi Railway, on it.




One of the old signs.




At the train platform they also had these illustrations by Sunameri Oishii on display.




The train timetable. Mostly just 1 train an hour out here.




I saw a lot more of these K-On tobidashi figures this time, including this Azusa one.




The Mugi one I also saw the last time.




Inside the shop where the Mugi tobidashi was located, they still had some K-On things on display.




Still mostly illustrations and posters.




The Mio poster I saw in the window of the shop the last time was now inside.




Various posters outside.




The place where I saw the Yui figure the last time now had a Mio one instead.




Closeup of Mio.




This Ritsu one had been damaged.




The Yui one was now at the road in front of the school.




It had a bit of damage as well.




I also saw a Nodoka one nearby.

I checked out the shop area of the old school building again.




Here they still had tons of K-On items on display.




Lots of figures.




Manga, illustration works and other books.




Plushies, cups and plates.




Illustrations, models and a big Azusa pillow.




Guitars and also a place to hang ema on the right here.




Lots of these cards and some ema here. Warning: These are extra large pictures to show more details.

They still had lots of K-On woodblock stamps you could use.




And K-On decorated lockers.




Lots of different items for sale in the shop itself.




Including K-On items.

The Eccentric Family - Hell

While visiting Arima Onsen , Yasaburo gets thrown into hell in The Eccentric Family. Some of the places shown in hell are located in Tokyo, so I went and had a look. Image from S2E6 - 04m51s This is the view from Shohei Bridge towards the west in Kanda-Sudachō near Akihabara. Image from S2E6 - 14m30s Yasaburo is next shown wandering around in Inokashira Park. Image from S2E6 - 14m33s This railway bridge got Keio Inokashira Line trains running on it. Image from S2E6 - 15m08s There's no ramen stand here like in the show. Image from S2E6 - 15m11s This is at the Keio Inokashira-kōen Station platform. There's more modern looking trains running here in real life. Image from S2E6 - 15m15s Closeup of the train doors. I've marked a path from the Shohei Bridge in Kanda-Sudachō to this station in the map below. Image from S2E6 - 15m21s Yasaburo runs towards the station.

Sakura Miku - Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival

While in Hirosaki checking out all the Flying Witch locations, I also got a few pictures of the Sakura Miku and Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival collaboration. At Hirosaki Station they had a giant Sakura Miku poster at the location I saw the Flying Witch ad back in 2016. Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival poster and Sakura Miku wall scroll inside the tourism information office at the station. Ad with Sakura Miku and Takamaru-kun, the Hirosaki Castle mascot. Lots of Sakura Miku themed tourist maps of Hirosaki. If you wanted a Flying Witch map you had to ask. Sakura Miku decoration on the train station door. At Hirosaki Apple Park they had this cardboard cutout of Sakura Miku and Takamaru-kun. Long wall scroll inside the Apple Park shop. They had lots of Sakura Miku items for sale here. Including t-shirts. Clear files. Mobile batteries. And pin buttons. They also had lots of apple goods for sale. Including various drinks. And actual apples of course. While waking towards Hirosaki Park I...

Comic1 15

The final thing I checked out this time was Comic1 15. It's an event similar to Comiket , and just like Comiket it took place at Tokyo Big Sight. It's a smaller event, so I got a better place in the queue than at Comiket. Still plenty of people though. The Comic1 catalog was also the ticket, so you just held it up at the entrance to show that you had one. Since it was a smaller event it only used the west halls and none of the east halls. Both west hall 1 and 2 had circles selling doujins and goods. This is inside west hall 2. In west hall 4 they had a separate event called Character1 with corporate booths. In the Character1 area they had this big Nekopara TV anime ad. And some smaller ads for various other anime, figures and other stuff. Cardboard cutouts. Metallizing Art on display. At the Key booth they also had art. One of Kanade Tachibana from Angel Beats. They had a stamp rally at the Key booth for people who bought items too. In a corner of Character1 they had itasha o...
