There were several in store events in Akihabara for the game Metal Saga,
that went on sale June 9, 2005.
There were several girls dressed up in military like outfits
holding signs and speaking about Metal Saga.
It was free to watch, but those who bought the game got a poster,
and also was able to be surrounded by the girls and get cheered.
One of the girls was Nomizu Iori, so I went to take pictures of her.
Good thing they didn't stop anyone from taking photos.
The store schedule (that I went to) was as follows.

At Yamagiwa Soft, they had a stuffed animal of the dog
(some mascot of the game?).
photo notes
I used my 20D with just the cheap zoom (EF24-85mm F3.5-4.5),
and took 287 photos with 84 of them worth keeping.
At the beginning it was bright enough outside, but later it became dark,
so I had to use the on-camera flash a little.
