Hyper Japan at Earl's Court is a big J-culture event with everything from Cosplay to Sushi Awards, anime to J-pop and the queue to get in was ENORMOUS. Once inside, we headed straight for the Nintendo area to play in the Animal Crossing garden and pick-a-pikmin (didn't win, boooo) as well as getting in the photobooth and playing some of the new wiiU and 3DS games. We moved on to the kawaii and anime stalls which were overflowing with CUTENESS (I pretty much wanted everything) but Alex placated me with a little Totoro keyring :)
After winning some free chicken skewers on a tombola thing, we headed over to the food area to do some sampling, and managed to catch a quick Maki-Sushi demo before chowing down on some exceptionally tasty stuff. The chicken skewers were crispy and smothered in 'Japanese sauce' whatever that is, but we also ate Chicken Katsu Curry, panko prawns and sushi - all fantastic. After a look at some fancy cars, a J-Goth (?!) performance and being sorely tempted into honeymoon plans by all the travel agents, we tried our hand at retro arcade machines (I'm not very good at the aircraft-shooting one, zombies are more my style) and drooled over cosplay cat-mittens and ears before heading home. HJ was actually smaller than I imagined, hope it continues to grow though as it was a fun day out!
My outfit wasn't a stunner (but does have some fun bits!), but cosplay wasn't on the cards with bringing all our stuff around London/the heat. Maybe next time!
