Security was pretty lax.
I think some "stealth picutes" would have been possible.  (^_^;)

Looking through the seiyuu archives, you last mention being in the front
row at Aya's Kigurumi Undokai a little over a year ago.  But of course,
even first row seats weren't that great for that event...

Really?  I thought it was the bigger Rumi (52kg?) that did this..

This was nice.  (^_^;)

It was a very good day for neo-lez watching.  Sometimes I felt like
I was watching a live-action version of Megami Paradise.  (^_^;;)

Oh, saw lots of cosplayers today.  I think this was the first time I
ever saw mother and daughter doing Sailor Moon cosplay.
(Mom was Sailor Mercury, little girl was Sailor Chibi Chibi)

I'm guessing she couldn't hold a candle to Rumi...

I dunno.  Some parts you could barely hear her voice at all.

I can barely contain my laughter anymore when I see her!
