Official Report

On the evening of July 17 (Thursday), the invitation-only event was held at a building in the middle of Shinjuku's Kabukicho district. The first DJ event "Gundam vs. Hello Kitty DJ Night" was held at a building in the middle of Kabukicho, Shinjuku, on Thursday night, July 17.

This DJ event was held as a prelude, so to speak, to the "Gundam Launch Operation," a collaboration riddle solving event with "Mobile Suit Gundam," and the "Hello Kitty's Nazotoki Museum," a collaboration riddle solving event with "Hello Kitty," which will start the following day on July 18 (Thursday). The event was held in a corner of "Tokyo Mystery Circus" (Kabukicho, Shinjuku), a theme park with the theme of "mystery" where the mystery-solving event was held.

After receiving a welcome drink and psyllium at the reception desk, we entered the venue, where the room was darkly lit in the manner of a DJ event, and was filled with echoing music and a lively mirror ball that made it hard to believe that the venue was usually used for Real Dasshutsu Game.

First we were greeted by a life-size panel of Gundam in a stylish pose with a rifle pointed skyward and Hello Kitty stylishly dressed in a Tokyo Mystery Circus red tailcoat. This illustration is also used as a poster for the Mystery Circus event. It is a combination that is not often seen side by side, but it is surreal to see the Gundam, which looks to be over 2 meters tall, and Hello Kitty, who is only up to her knees (although the actual height of the first Gundam is 18 meters and Hello Kitty is the equivalent of five apples, so this is still a rather modest height difference). ), participants stopped to take photos as soon as the doors opened, either standing between the Gundam and Hello Kitty or standing next to them, one by one.

On the stage at the front of the venue, a performance was in full swing. Despite the fact that many of the participants in this event were Gundam fans, Hello Kitty fans, mystery solving fans, and others who had never been to a DJ event before, the young and talented DJ "DJ KIMAGURE" gave a thorough lecture on how to enjoy the event and played a steady stream of anime songs, which got the audience excited. The venue was filled with excitement as the anime songs played one after another. Then the MC appeared on stage to give an opening speech and introduce the mystery-solving event that would start tomorrow.

The first guest to appear was "DJ Hello Kitty," who lit up the venue with lights of various colors. She told the participants, "Hah! PARLY PEE POW!" to the participants. and standing on the stage to set up the equipment was a familiar sight. The preparations were completed quickly and smoothly, and "DJ Hello Kitty" began her performance time. The gap between her cool black outfit and shuttered sunglasses, her heavy-duty club tunes, and her cute calls and nimble gestures in between, had the audience saying, "Cool! and "Cute! and "Cute!

The next performer was "DJ Shaazer a.k.a. DJ Caesar. DJ Shaazer, as the name implies, appeared in a Shaazer costume with his cape fluttering in the air, and played a series of Gundam songs while enlivening the audience with his lighthearted delivery and call-and-response style (and also promoting his own CDs). It's amazing! Isn't it overwhelming!" the participants responded with cheers, and the venue suddenly became a hot place. DJ Shaazer, with one hand over his ear, smoothly manipulated the equipment on the DJ table, occasionally humming a song. He is also a massive gap in another sense.

Then, towards the end of the event. DJ Shaazer a.k.a. DJ Caesar" and "DJ Hello Kitty" appeared on stage to the cheers of the MC, and both DJs were greeted with the biggest applause of the day, The attendees were so engrossed in this scene that they were able to capture the miraculous moment on their smartphones.

Who would have thought that DJ Shaazer and DJ Hello Kitty would get along so well together? It was also planned as a mystery-solving event. At the end of the event, all the participants sang, hands up, whistled, and applauded. Thus, the unprecedented chaos event, which was organized by a mysterious connection, a little idea, a little momentum, and the enthusiasm of the people involved, ended in a great success.

However, this event was only the "eve of the festival.
However, we must not forget that the real event is the mystery-solving event that starts the following day, July 18.

The "Gundam Launch Operation," featuring the tense story of Amuro Rei and the powerful full-scale AR Gundam created just for this performance, the "Hello Kitty's Nazotoki Museum," featuring a real-time message from Hello Kitty and an exhibition of Hello Kitty newly drawn by manga artist Arina Tanemura, and the "Hello Kitty's Nazotoki Museum," featuring the "Gundam Launch Operation," which will be held on July 18. Please look forward to the "Hello Kitty's Nazotoki Museum," featuring a real-time message from Hello Kitty and a Hello Kitty exhibit illustrated by manga artist Arina Tanemura, as well as the mystery-solving event showdown between two of Japan's most popular contents starting on July 18!
