China, tourism feature in huge 'anime' convention | The Japan Times Online - 0 views

  • The Tokyo International Anime Fair 2009 kicked off Wednesday to a cheerful start, featuring a mix of both domestic and overseas companies presenting their newest products and exploring new marketing methods ranging from "anime" tourism to online broadcasting.
  • Reflecting the difficult economic times, however, many of the symposiums held in the first two business days had to do with future funding and marketing strategies for the industry.
  • Hideaki Tokutake of Japan Location Market — an organization promoting regional development through tourism, and a host of one of the symposiums — emphasized the growing potential of animation tourism.

Gundam statue draws attention to environment - 0 views

  • "Gundam as the symbol of Tokyo's revival as a green city will send a strong message of 'Green Tokyo' and world peace to children who play a main role in Tokyo's future and the next generation," the event organizer said on its Web site. Gundam was chosen for the project in part because of parallels between environmental problems facing the world and the plot of the TV series, according to the Web site.

    I'll definitely try to go to this festival this year. If anyone is interested and is unfamiliar with Switzerland, please, let me know. I'll be happy to help. Most people (at lease those involved in Tourism) in Ticino speak English, but they are more comfortable with Italian or French.

    Manga Impact, in collaboration with the Cinema Museum of Torino (Italy), is a program incorporated within the next International Film Festival of Locarno (Swizterland), which will propose a retrospective of Japanese animation since its early inception in the 1940's. It will cover a wide range of genres and types, from the most commercial productions to auteurs' works. If you've never been to the Locarno festival, I highly recommend it. But you have to make your reservation asap, because Ticino, the Swiss-Italian region where Locarno lies, is small and doesn't have so many hotels or accomodation opportunities. And they'll be all very quickly taken as this event is reknown worldwide. The Festival will take place 5-15 August 2009.
