Day 1 of AFA08!! I arrived quite early around 9AM to grab my breakfast before I went up to the exhibition hall. I was quite surprised to see the long queue at the ticket counter. I proceeded to the media counter to grab my media pass without going through the queue. Yay for queue jump!!
Queue to the ticket counter at around 9:30AM.
Ribbon cutting ceremony
Ambassador Makoto Yamanaka is the 2nd person from the right.
Gift presentation to Ambassador Makoto Yamanaka
After going in, I proceed to the main stage to witness the opening ceremony, complete with the ribbon cutting ceremony by VIPs of the show. One of them is the Ambassador Makoto Yamanaka from Embassy of Japan, Singapore. After that, one of the VIP presented a gift to Ambassador Yamanaka.
I thought that this is the end of the ceremony, until suddenly we heard a Mazinger Z song being played and Ichirou Mizuki gave us a special mini-concert!!
I have uploaded the video for your viewing pleasure =). Sadly, this is the only concert video that can be captured =_=
