(　'ω') “Don’t sneeze in front of everybody!”

(´ﾍ｀；) “I had a bad cold... I couldn’t get out of the bed almost all New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day..”

(　'ω') “It doesn’t look like there’s not a big difference for the numbers of visitors right?”

(σゝ∀・)σ “I know right?! But actually, the Comiket 87 which was held in this winter had the new record of the biggest numbers of recruitments, EVER!”

Comiket The difference between summer and winter①：There are more people who join it in summer than in winter.

(　'ω') “Even though Comiket 87, 2014 got the new record, the recruitments were just 10,000 more than in summer.”

!!(●ω●;) “But this is a great deal! Since the Comiket in winter is usually held in the end of the year, there are so many people who can’t join it, especially people who have to work at that time of the year!”

(　'ω') “Hmmm...??? It was the same thing for this time, wasn’t it?”

(σゝ∀・)σ “Here’s what you have to know! Comiket 87 this time was held on different dates from usual years! Usually it’s held on 29th, 30th and 31st, but this time, it was held on 28th, 29th and the 30th! Many people, who haven’t been able to join Comiket 87 because of going back to their hometowns or their jobs, were able to join it, since they had the 31st free!”

(　'ω') “That’s for sure. If we have the 31st free, we can rest at home how tired we get on the 30th, right?”

(　'ω') “With one day difference, we can see 10,000 recruitments’ gap... It’s crazy...”

(゜▽゜*) “We’ve been expecting that there will be more people who will join Comiket 88 this year, from these numbers! There were so many people who joined it, even though it was held on irregular days!”

Comiket The difference between summer and winter②：Extreme climate difference.

(・∀・) “As you can see when it’s held, the time for the winter Comiket is horribly cold.”

(　'ω') “Wow, it’s raining!!!”

((( ；ﾟДﾟ))) “’The worst scenario’ that had rains when visitors were still waiting before it was open on the second day, came to reality!”

(　'ω') “Awful...”

(´Д｀；)「People just keep waiting, looking forward to its opening time, with an extremely hot and humid climate in summer, and an extremely freezing cold climate and the fierce wind...!”

(　'ω') “Why on earth do they wait in line even with such bad weather...?”

(ﾟ∀ﾟ) “Are you kidding me? That’s just because there is Doujinshi, right there.”

(　'ω') “You’re one hundred percent correct!”

(*｀д´)σ=σ “You know what?! There is one thing about Comiket that would never change, how cold or hot it would be...!!!”

(　'ω') “Can you guess what...?”

(゜▽゜*) “The brilliant things that can never change due to the bad weather...,

it’s of course! Wonderful heroes and heroines of cosplayers!!!

There were so many cosplayers joining Comiket this winter too!

We’ll secretly show you guys some of them who got into the news through the Internet!”

(　'ω') “Hmmm..., excuse me...? Can’t you just stop showing us cute girls and manly muscles in the middle of the display?”

(*｀д´)σ=σ “How did you like them, though?! Don’t you think they have such strong spirit that they make use of the bad weather, instead of giving way to them? I’ve heard that many cosplayers kept wearing their characters’ costumes, trembling from the cold, without putting their jackets on!”

(　'ω') “...Hmmm, I’m still wondering why they keep cosplaying, putting up with that bad condition.”

(ﾟ∀ﾟ) “Are you kidding me again? It’s just because there are their pastimes, crushes and “MOE” that they can share with other buddies.”

Comiket The difference between summer and winter③：Such determined staff.

shingekikyojin.net

(　'ω') “What? Is there any difference between staff in summer and ones in winter?”

(゜▽゜*) “There’s no big difference, to tell you the truth.”

(　'ω'c彡☆))Д´:） “Too bad!! I knew it!! I knew that it would be like this!!!”

(´Д｀；) “But I’ve heard that there were more staff who got sick or some more troubles in winter than in summer...”

●Great job, all the staff for the Comiket this winter too.

Here are some famous and popular words from the staff of Comiket!

■ “What a peaceful day on the first day of Comiket. There’s no such thing as an atmosphere of menace! Who wouldn’t imagine that menace on the third day?”

■ “Boys and gentlemen, please move forward and get closer, even if there are girls and ladies in front of you!! The love might begin to grow from there! Put up with it, girls and ladies, please!!”

■ “If you ever see a suspicious person, just let us know. Make sure the suspicious person is an extreme one, since everybody here are suspicious!”

■ “Just let us know before you become a frozen tuna. We’ll take care of you.”

■ “If your heart should ever be Pyon-pyon (hopping), please do not get like Pyon-pyon in the escalator, ok?”

■ “Staff are not your enemies! We love you so much!”

(ﾟ∀ﾟ) “All the staff try so hard supporting us, so that the Comiket will always be successful for all three days.”

(　'ω') “Thanks to their generous efforts, we’ve never have big accidents every year.”

m9(`･ω･´)っ “Well, how did you like Comiket 87 this winter, even though it was a little rough?”

(o'ω`σ)σ “The next Comiket will be this summer. That means you can’t have it for another half a year.”

(　'ω') “Heartrending, or maybe lonely...”

(σゝ∀・)σ “Now, for both the people who visited or couldn’t visit, you all can enjoy the atmosphere on a special page for the Comiket in Otaku Republic’s website. Make sure you experience it, ok? There will be more items coming on even after Comiket 87!”
