I’m not familar with any of these characters. So I guess Rilakkuma won’t be there ,will he? and we don’t have any of those kind of festivals around here that I know of. they look like a very colorful bunch. Do any of these characters have their own tv show?
First weekend back in Japan,enjoy.
Peace,
I don’t think there ARE character goods festivals outside Japan. I mean, it’s probably the only place that uses kawaii characters to advertise anything from banks to pharmacies.
Here in Israel, such companies take themselves quite seriously, and would never use a cute character as their mascot. Alas.
So basically its a festival full of Plush toys . Cool ^_^
