I don't know where to ask it, so I'll ask it here, if you want to lock it later, then go ahead.
But, which room were you guys in and on what day did you actually do it?

July 2nd at 8:00 p.m. on the third floor room 303. Article (that I wrote) can be viewed here. They actually weren't finished with the panel by the specified time, but the Gaia online panel that was next was immensely crowded so we had to leave pretty fast. They gave out free DVDs though.

Ya, I much prefer the less crowded panels. Since they have less people, they always give out a bunch of free stuff and/or raffle out prizes. Very Happy I got a shitload of cool stuff from the "Moe", "Visual Novel", "Broccoli Japan" and "Broccoli International" panels. Let see, I got a T-shirt, an autographed seiyuu drawing, a video game, candy, pins, postcards, stickers, trading cards, fans, posters, and 2 anime DVDs all for free.

The Happatai guys are freaking hilarious! I saw the Yatta! video on NewGrounds. I almost died from laughter. Those guys are amazing. I wish I could have gone to AX to see them.

Is this what you guys are talking about? Were they actually there, or just cosplayers?

That's exactly what I was talking about, Dargonxtc. Actually, thanks for posting the link, because I was having trouble finding it. However, fighterholic and PantsGoblin might be talking about cosplayers.

So is this the Japanese version of a boy band? Must be pretty popular since it sounds like AX was crawling with them. Pretty easy costume though, just throw on a pair of tighty-whites, glue on a paper fig leaf to your junk, and Bam! Yatta!

Might I add that I look up to the Happatai guys? They are my idols and will be for the next several years. Very Happy

I wasn't trying to be snide. Just actually asking whether or not this is a boy band or not, for real, J-Pop is not my forte, not saying I haven't enjoyied some of it.

It's a parody of a boy band.

Happatai was basically a gimmick group from a few years back and Yatta! was their only single, filled with cheesy motivational lyrics like "Keep a dog, they're cute!" A lot of fans also became familiar with the song through a wacky Flash video that went around.

Happatai even performed on the Jimmy Kimmel show once, green leaves and all.
