Tokyo International Anime Fair 2010 starts up
As some other writers may already have referred to, ” Tokyo International Anime Fair 2010″ or ” TAF 2010″ (Mar.25-28) is starting today.http://www.tokyoanime.jp/ja/
This fair is currently the biggest anime related event in the world, which more than 130,000 people are expected to visit. ” TAF 2009″ held last year was supported by 255 businesses including 56 foreign companies and had totally 129,819 visitors. The venue is ” Tokyo Big Sight”, the most well-known and very huge venue facility for big events in Japan, which is located in Koutou-ward Tokyo. http://www.bigsight.jp/english/index.html
There will be so many special events, such as talk shows of popular voice stars of anime works, lectures about designs of anime by pro anime artists, screenings of special anime films. Some state-of-the-art anime programming and filming technologies are to be introduced and demonstrated there as well.
One of my friends is going to work at the venue as a volunteer interpreter of English, as a lot of foreign anime fans are expected to visit there.
I hope this event will be one of good occasions to promote our Japanese anime culture even more so than the current degree to the both domestic and international communities.
