Walkure Cafe

The Walkure Cafe was a temporary collaboration event which ran at Area-Q in Harajuku from April 7 to April 23.

The following gallery was taken by SpeakerPODcast co-host Adrian, who made sure to capture all the little messages and comments that the actual members of Walkure left for their fans.

Macross Delta x Softmap Collaboration

As part of a collaboration with Macross Delta to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Macross, and to commemorate the upcoming release of the ‘Walkure Won’t Stop’ concert bluray on May 31, Softmap is currently displaying Walkure costumes from their concert in Yokohama, and entries from a Macross Modelers contest.

The display opened on Friday April 28, and the SpeakerPODcast Crew was there so early that staff were actually still setting it up!
