It's rather nice to know that government officials can be nerds/geeks as well! I would have liked to have seen pictures of Asano-san doing anime poses! That would have been interesting! lol! I'd say he's a rather good sport! But, it's also really sad that we (society) give more media coverage to the superficial (Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan - I'm looking at you!) then we do to more important things. |

I'd like to see him holding a Shinku or Suigintou BJD. Peach-Pit would love him.   |

Too funny! I must say at first I thought this was sad as well. But really this is the right ministry to be doing this. Manga and anime is really the voice of Japan in mind of many outsiders(which is sad in it's own way). And cosplay ties right in to that. So while he says this is a silly event, and in many ways it is, I think it is important that they recognize how much of a foreign relations issue it really is. dormcat: Those dolls are gorgeous. While not my thing really, but how much do those MRSP for? |

I can't find the original website, but IMHO these two are even more delicate than the official Shinku released by Super Dollfie and supervised by Peach-Pit, which was ¥102,900 after tax. A box is being auctioned right now at Yahoo! Japan starting from ¥100,000 but is ¥211,000 as we speak. Therefore I wouldn't be surprised if the two were as high as ¥200K or more, especially if they came with the sleeping suitcase, porcelain teacups, and a pocket watch. |

| That caused all the ruckus about (gasp!) superficial judging criteria. Are American competitors still boycotting it? | ||||
