Card Captor Sakura Festival 2000 was held in 2 sessions on 4/3.
1 session started at 13:00 and the other at 16:30.  Since there is
rumor that Tange Sakura will work less in the near future, lots of
her fans go to this event which is targetted at young girls, making 
tickets sold out well beforehand.  BTW, the ticket is 1575 yen.

I managed to get a ticket of the second session.  Tons of goods on
sale there.  From my observation, around 50-60% are kid girls with
their parents.  Another dozens of cosplayers (those young girls got
crazy when seeing those cosplayers ^_^ ), and the rest are older 
male fans.

At the door, as with last year's festival, they give out a big 
Clamp illustrated bags to every ticket holder.  Inside the bag 
are the free goodies : Special Sakura Festivel Not-for-sale 
trading card, 4 character badges (Sakura/Shaoran/Tomoyo/Eriolu),
Stationaries, and a  Sakura Curry Pack !!!! 

I seated at the right side of the second seated row of the second 
floor.  Pretty good view.  Later the seiyuu talks took plact in the
right side of the stage, so I was lucky.

M.C. are Kumai Motoko (Shaoran) and Seki Tomokazu (Touya).  They 
dress causally : T-shirt, jeans, etc.

A short skit of nuikurumi Sakura/Shaoran/Kero/Touya/Yukito.  The 
story is about Sakura walking in the street and bumped into Shaoran.
He tried to tell her something but Kero-chan appeared from the sky, 
speaking Kansai-ben.  Touya/Yukito walked by and Touya said he heard
someone speaking Kansai-ben.  Sakura pretended it is her who speak
Kansai-ben but Touya said it was a male's voice.  Sakara then said 
it was Shaoran-kun's speech.  Shaoran had no choice but to try to 
speak in Kansai-ben.  Touya said it was still not right but he had
to hurry to the next part time job, and walked away with Yukito.
Sakura then walked away arguing with Kero-chan, leaving Shaoan behind
sighing to himself.

Thent he Seiyuu Talks.  MC introduce Tange Sakura, Hisakawa Aya, and 
Ogata Megumi.  Sakara was wearing a shirt with a thin white jacket, 
long red skirt and red sandles.  Aya was wearing a shirt with thin 
white jacket, a knee length purple skirt, and white sandles.  Anyone
really care for what Ogata Megumi wear ?   ^_^;  Anyway, she wear a
shirt, jacket, neck tie, and long black trousers.

They talked about what they think about CCS in general.  Seki suddenly
asked Ogata Megumi a question, and after a pause, Megumi said she had 
not expected such a question and need sometimme to think about.  Sakura
then said in Sakura-chan's voice that Touya onii-chan is embrassing 
Yukito-san, and Seki (Touya) said it is none of Sakura-chan's business
and called her a Kaijuu (monster).  Sakura-chan said she was not a 
Kaijuu !!  Very funny !!!!!

They then have a quiz sessions.  They showed 4 clips of OP+TV in 
4 foreign countries in foreign language dubbing. and asked what were 
the 4 countries.  The correct answers are Korea, Indonesia, Spain and 
China.  They said China, but I think it is from Taiwan.  The seiyuu 
talked about the dubbings for a while.

Then they showed a video clip of foreign CC Sakura goods and talked 
about them for a while.

They then showed the OP of the upcoming DC CC Sakura game.  It is the 
same as OP1 of the TV series but in polygons !  A Promo clips were also 
showed.  Players play the part of Tomoyo-chan and need to film 
Sakura-chan's actin in capturing cards.  Players can exchange data with 
other players thru internet.  If you clear a stage, you can then choose
other costums for Sakura-chan's next mission.  The game will be released 
in Fall 2000, 5800 yen.

The title of the upcoming second CCS movie will be Card Captor Sakura - 
Fuuinsareta Card.  The movie will be showed in summer and using the usual
cast with Meiling and Elioru.  Maeuri-ken will be on sale at 1600 yen 
with a poster.  Also will be shown with the movie is a short film called
Kero-chan ni Omakase! similar to the same name corner in TV1.

Each seiyuu said what they feel about the new movie, then a promo clip 
of the movie is shown.

The whole first part is about 45 min.  They then tale a break (15 min)

2nd part (around 30 min) started by showing of OP1 and clips of TV Clow 
Card Hen, then OP3 and clips of TV Sakura Card Hen.

ED3 Fruits Candy was then sung by Kojima Megumi in person.  Nuikurumi 
Shaoran and Sakura-chan were the back dancer.  MC then talked with 
Kojima Megumi about the song.  Kojima said she liked Tomoyo-chan 
because she is so kawaii.  Seki then said in Tomoyo-chan-style voice
"Sakura-chan wa kawaii desuneeeeee".  ^_^;

Present corner, several present are drawn by the 3 seiyuu, Kojima, and
the 2 MC to the audience.

Last words corner : Ogata Megumi, Aya, Kojima Megumi, Motoko, Seki all 
take turn.  After Seki saying his own last words, he then close up the
show as the MC, completely forgetting Tange Sakura !!!!  ^_^;;

After Motoko pointed out, he was so embrassed and then he kneel down
and bow to the audience Japanese style to apologise and then asked 
Sakura for her last words.

The show ended at around 18:00.
