Cosplay
Cosplay (costume play) is a type of performance in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific or idea. Characters are often drawn from popular fiction from Japan, but recent trends have included American cartoons and science fiction. Favorite sources include manga, anime, tokosatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games, hentai, and fantasy movie. The sensation is we can meet a fiction characters from our favorite anime or tokosatsu. Take a photograph with Cosplayer, it's really fun. If we so interested with it we can also be a cosplayer.

Japanese Band
Japanese band have a unique style that different from other country. They also have their own genre. The genre from Japanese band is Visual Kei, this is the popular genre. But not all the band use this genre. For a people who really interested in everything about Japan like me needs some music to complete everything. But, I can't meet my favorite band from Japan because their too far. So, I'm glad in Indonesia there are some bands who covering the Japanese band. The covering band usually perform in Japanese festival. Their style is the same as Japanese band. Wow... although they're not perfect but I like them.
