PR Event June 21-22

[lostinube]

Per the official twitter account there will be an event at Lala Port Toyosu on the 21st and 22nd of this month. They will display obstacles and some competitors will be there, notably Katsumi Yamada. Also, stuff for sale. Possibly Katsumi Yamada.

I plan on going on the 22nd with some friends, so I'll let everyone know what it was like! There's that bigger event later on in summer where you have to pay to try it, that seems like it'll be more fun (if you have to pay for it there's probably more to do) but not much information has been given about that. Hopefully I can go to that too.

Thanks Ube for posting this! (Google was not kind to that translation it was a mess!) Giggles Ube about Yamada being on sale. Thanks Jin for checking out the event for us! Hopefully more information comes out about this soon.

Eta links: Facebook post, Twitter

lostinube , that Yamada comment had me laughing on the drive to work this morning, I'd just read the badly auto translated version of the announcement before I saw your post.

Kinda odd if they're having Yamada (K) there after the recent mysterious withdrawal etc!

[UnrealCanine]

I wish I could buy Yamada. If I ever wanted to do some training, I could get him to keep me supplied with Sasuke Spray, then stick him back in my pocket.

LOL Agreed!  I did ask and he's still being deleted from 30. I thought they made up but that hasn't happened. I think the transition now is to move him away from the broadcast and just use him as promo.  iirc he stated on his own Facebook just last week that he was planning on stepping back from being a competitor.  The fact that they are using the Black Tigers is interesting and further concludes that they will still be shown on the broadcast while Yamada is stepping back.

Update from TBS on their Facebook.

Yamada will be there doing demonstrations 3 times a day.  I'm hearing that there will be more people going. They just haven't announced it yet. Seems a lot of the guys in the Kanto region are going even if they aren't guests. Which is really nice.

This is in Tokyo, right? I wouldn't be surprised if Shingo showed up on one (or both) of those days.

Yeah it's Tokyo. Ask him if he's going. I know a LOT of people are going at least one of the days this weekend. I hope it doesn't get rained out though.  The weather is looking ominous..

Update on people going:  Yamada, Urushihara, Kanno, Matachi, Kong, Kawaguchi, Hioki et al.

Update again:  Seems there will be special merchandise ONLY available at the event tomorrow.

[arsenette]

It starting! Pray the rain doesn't totally destroy the weekend.




Sasuke Facebook has 3 photos up already. I expect more throughout the day.

Thanks Ube! Yeah I was having trouble finding a few. Now I'm doing searches on individual names and came up with a lot of Yamada:

Twitter - Yamada megaphone

Twitter - Kong on wall
Twitter - Obstacles
Twitter - collage of photos

TBS also updated their Sasuke Facebook

[shuhuqua]

I was there for an hour today before grad school, and it was really good fun! All the stars made themselves available for pictures and autographs which was cool. Okada even got asked for autographs which was awesome. I'll be there working as staff tomorrow which is just plain cool

Awesome! I hope you got to take pics!  For now I'm surfing the internet to find more. Here's what I found so far in addition to last night.


LOL Sasuke Director Inui posing with Kanno and Kawaguchi

Twitter - Fan pic with Yuuji
Twitter - Autographs
Twitter - "Aerial" View
Twitter - Fan pic with Hioki
Twitter - Fan pic with Ryoma
Twitter - Group photo
Twitter - Fan pic with Kanno
Twitter - Fan pic with Kong
Twitter - Obstacles

There's actually a bunch of photos that Yuuji, Shinya and Kanno posted on twitter but all 3 accounts are protected (meaning you have to follow them and they accept your follow).  This is my favorite of them so far:


Shinya photo

Also there were a couple news articles that were written about the event!
Yamada interview
Event overview

And Finally the TBS Facebook page was updated

[LusitaniaAngel313]

Yamada-san! Seems he had a smashing time!

[arsenette]

Jin posted a cool short video.
