WONDER FESTIVAL 1999
Talking of Wonder Festival, Cosplay (costume players) is very popular. Especially the completely transformed Valkyrie attracted the attention this time. It’s completely transformed in cosplay. It took three people to transform into Gerwalk.

The current cosplay girls have high levels. They’re cute and also sexy.

Besides, at the section of dolls (playing dress-up dolls, etc), there’re lots of original clothes for dolls from sexy lingeries to sober dresses. Ko-gal Jenny was really mede well.
The next time will be held on the 8th of August. This festival like a paradise for manias. Thirty thousand Otakus will gather again in Summer!
