Cosplay Mania 2016 was a fantasy world of geek and Otaku culture where cosplayers, hobbyists, artists and performers converged to share their mutual love for Japanese manga and anime. And Daiso Japan made sure to be part of the action this October just like what they did last February, teaming up with Cosplay.ph, the leading Cosplay website and online community in the country.
As one of the major sponsors of the successful convention, Cosplay.ph distributed thousands of Daiso Japan paper bags at the event that were quickly filled with loots and freebies that were given away. Daiso Japan also set up a booth at the venue, its unique and certified kawaii items are a big hit among collectors and fans of authentic Japanese merchandise.
“Being partners with Cosplay.ph for the second time strengthened Daiso Japan’s appreciation and support of this artistic and kawaii Cosplaying events that are a major part of Japanese youth culture,” Bernice Jayne Chioa-Bunoan, Daiso Japan’s marketing manager, said. “It is through these events that Daiso Japan finds its direct link to its Japanese kawaii roots.”
Beyond magical costumes, a full lineup of games, awesome music and fantastic cosplay performances made for an exciting and unforgettable gathering of like-minded aficionados where they could be themselves, swap stories with other guests and have fun.
And what fun the guests had joining the Con Quest Card promo which Daiso Japan was a part of. Guests only had to have a selfie under the Cherry Blosoom tree and upload this on their Facebook to tag Daiso Japan. They then had their Con Quest Card stamped by a Daiso Japan representative. Upon completion of all stamps, guests had the chance to bring home loot bags stuffed with freebies from the event.
With its vast selection of functional, quirky and super adorable products priced from P88, Daiso Japan has established itself as the leading source of affordable Japanese merchandise in the country. Daiso Japan has 55 stores nationwide through Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc., which holds the exclusive sub-license to sell authentic Daiso merchandise from Japan and operates the legitimate Daiso Japan store concept in the Philippines.
