<br> Goth fashion comes from a mix of Victorian mourning attire, horror movies and DIY (as “Goth clothes” weren’t something you could just walk into a store and buy; you had to make them). Make sure it isn’t too salty because the sauce reduces a lot. The event has a lot to offer with an Otaku Village set to cater to all your retail needs.

The good folks at Hyper Japan have sent us more details about their London based event on Friday 1st October until Sunday 3rd October 2010. Square Enix will be there selling goodies. There was something about the Banshees that they were leading the way to the next musical movement, which was post-punk.<br>
<br> Zombie costumes have come a long way from simple tattered clothes, and now you can find incredibly detailed outfits that are sure to send shivers down spines. The answer would most likely be no. The goth and emo subcultures have been the subcultures most looked down upon, along with punks. Extreme Heli Boarding; Emo Makeup, Piercing. The black clothes, dark hair and dark makeup are also similar between the two subcultures, althought the Emo fashions are less dramatic and elaborate than Goth fashions. Some styles are even described as emo now, for example: emo hair, which is used to describe a jagged, eye-covering, banged hairstyle stereotypically associated with the emo music subculture. Visual kei style is a mix of alternative styles such as gothic, punk, and rock. Japanese fashion magazine KERA will be there with fashion shows and style tutorials (the event is looking for models to take part).

They’ll be a Cosplay Parade, workshops, a goth bag Loli Fashion Show, Video Game Tournaments, some live J-Pop and Japanese Punk. Along with an art competition to design a Japanese video game character. They’ve got a cosplay competition too, with a chance to win a trip to Japan. I, in my cosplay guise as Queen’s Blade’s spectral maid Airi, lined up with the happy crowds all eager to meet and greet, eat and shop!

On Saturday 6th November 2010 The Barbican will be having a special late night event – the Cosplay Extravaganza.

October 2010 marked the first run of a 3 day Japanese cultural event called Hyper Japan. Well Hyper Japan are offering those things. For Japanese culture fans, October began with a bang at Hyper Japan, a new and highly anticipated event on the UK otaku calendar for 2010. Hosted by Eat-Japan (the number one site for Japanese food, sushi and sake), the show was a sensational success, drawing in excess of 15,000 visitors over the 3 days, a remarkable feat for what was the debut of this cultural festival. The reader was a 13 year old searching for a manga drawing course in London. Resident anime expert Helen McCarthy will be there to give a talk on Cosplay: A Short History (as well as being an anime expert Helen’s also the author of Manga Cross-Stitch and is knowledgeable about cosplay to say the least).<br>
