The 2005 Spring Dream Party event took place on May 4, 2005 at Big Sight.
Dream Party is a small game show featuring mostly adult games.
More than 90% of the area was taken up by "over 18" games.
But there was also an event stage where they held seiyuu and idol events
during the day.

I arrived at around 13:00 and walked around the "18 and over" booths
first, but didn't see any cosplayers that I knew.
I saw Nakase Kana and Mizuki Sanae passing out flyers for some
Akihabara net radio show.
Nakase Kana also had a talk show in the afternoon.

In the "general audience" booths,
Yuuki Makoto and Emiri (of Cosplay Unit SAI) were dressed in
Koi Koi 7 school uniforms, passing out flyers for Koi Koi 7.
Sakura Fumi (also of Cosplay Unit SAI) was also there at a different booth.

Morisaki Ai and one other idol had a talk show.

Ichii Hiori was also there, participating as just a normal cosplayer.
She was dressed in a white idol outfit, cosplaying as one of
Momoi Haruko's stage outfits.

Saaya was also there for a short time, as she went to watch
Sakakibara Yui's stage (15:00 - 16:00).
I saw Saaya and Yui walking together after Yui's stage.

Oda Chieri was also there, participating as just a normal person.
She gave me a sample CD of her "Odacche @ Neverland" CD,
which she rerecorded in April of this year.
She said she had improved as a singer since the inital recording last year.
Chieri said that she didn't have any upcoming events planned..

I used my 20D and took 75 photos, with 67 of them worth keeping.

The number of photos per girl was as follows.

 Ichii Hiori      30
 Emiri            17
 Oda Chieri        9
 Morisaki Ai       7
 Ohno Marina       3
