SpeakerPODcast Ep.101 – Macross Blue Moon Show Case

The Macross 35th Anniversary Blue Moon Show Case opened on January 9th at Tokyo Skytree and runs until February 28th. A celebration of all things Macross, the fact that this event is being held at such a major international tourist attraction is a fairly major achievement for the franchise and speaks volumes about its current popularity.

Leiji Future 2017

Leiji Future was held on December 3 at Tokyo Culture Center. Originally an annual event, but held a little more sporadically in recent years, Leiji Future is a tribute to all things Leiji Matsumoto. It usually includes sellers of related merchandise, panels, screenings of old tv material, and a sketch & autograph session by the man himself (usually projected on a big screen so attendees can watch him work his magic).

The following is a few pics taken at Leiji Future 2017. You can hear our report of the event at the 1:12:55 mark of ep.96 of the SpeakerPODcast.
