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 on display.




Lots of different cars including this Kin'iro Loveriche one.




Ryo Matsunaga from Idolmaster car.




minori car with Ef: A Fairy Tale of the Two characters on the bonnet.




Cardcaptor Sakura.




This Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha car had giant plushies in the seats.




Cure Gelato from KiraKira Pretty Cure A La Mode.




Kaori Nakaseko from Sound! Euphonium.




I even saw an itasha truck here.




Back of the truck.




There were a few cosplayers around too.




Including this official cosplayer for a mobile game called Black Stella.




Cosplayer and matching itasha of Orifushi Mafuyu from Kanojo × Kanojo × Kanojo.




A lot less people at the end of the day.




Before I left I spotted these Comic1 15 themed shikishi sign boards.




Closer look of more shikishi.




Here's a picture of the Comic1 15 catalog in the bottom left and some of the stuff I got.



No location map since it's no longer there.

Your Name - Train Crossing

I also checked out a bunch of Your Name locations in Nagano, starting with the train crossing that was supposedly shown in the movie, which is located close to Otabe Station in real life. Image from Your Name - 10m56s This is the angle that seems to match the most compared to what was shown in the movie, but the screenshot is flipped and there's some elements missing. Image from Your Name - 10m56s This is the screenshot as shown in the movie. You can see the similar looking metal utility box in the picture here. Image from Your Name - 31m08s I also took a picture from the opposite side so the metal utility box position matches when the screenshot is flipped. Image from Your Name - 31m08s There's a sign with a 7 on it here, but it's not in the same location as in the movie. Image from Your Name - 31m08s I also took a picture from the road, then the metal utility box position matches, but the road and railway track is switched.

K-On - Kitano Tenmangū Revisit

Another place I revisited was the Kitano Tenmangū shrine . The easiest way to get there is to take a bus to Kitano Tenmangū-mae. Image from S2E4 - 06m54s The torii gate at the entrance. Image from S2E4 - 06m55s The same cow statue I saw last time I visited. Image from S2E4 - 06m57s And the tower gate. Image from S2E4 - 07m05s The purification font is in the middle here. Image from S2E4 - 07m06s The sign here is smaller in real life. Image from S2E4 - 07m20s The other cow statue that's shown in the anime... Image from S2E4 - 07m26s That Ritsu and Yui rubs. Image from S2E4 - 07m32s Nodoka is skeptical about what they're doing. Image from S2E4 - 07m36s Sawako spots Ritsu and Yui... Image from S2E4 - 07m37s And yells at them. Image from S2E4 - 07m40s Yui then spots... Image from S2E4 - 07m42s Another sign. Not sure if this is the exact same location as shown in the anime, but it was the closest matching one I could see. Image from S2E4 - 08m29s The main shrine building. Image from ...

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...
