Awesome! GUNDAM in Odaiba, Tokyo

This article is not the topic of virtual world, social media and AR.

However, I write an article because it was too splendid art.



20090817_comike1

I went to comic market held in Odaiba on August 15.

However, it was not an important thing.

My true purpose was to watch Gundam of the full scale.

I walked from Tokyo Big Sight to the Shiokaze Park (the place where Gundam is exhibited in). It was hot! !

I arrived at the spot at about 17:00.

I suggest that you visit Gundam from the evening to the night.

The sky are beautiful too!

By the way, North Korea misunderstands this Gundam is a true weapon, and seems to examine a preemptive attack in Japan.

However, unfortunately Gundam moves only a neck for the moment.





The president of American virtual world "There" said at the time of a visit to Japan,

"I went to building of Akihabara. There was a figure shop in all floors. I was very surprised and bought 4000 figures. I thought then. When a nation called Japan is already the virtual world."

I think so, too.
