Submitted by KATU Communitie... on Mon, 2010-03-08 13:08

There will be karaoke, video game Dance Dance Revolution, a costume contest, a cake walk, a Katakana name booth, a fish scoop game, a Japanese food cafe and food booth, a music booth, a movie room, an anime and manga booth and even a lolita booth. Admission is free.
