IMPACT EXCITER Promotion Report.

7/9 EDIT: Super huge signboard in Shibuya. Put it up here so you realize this is new. Credits to anonymous-lurker, I still wonder how the hell you got this angle…….WAIT, CAN WE ACTUALLY GO UP TO THE BUILDING k will try tmr.

–

Had spare time yesterday morning because I mis-scheduled, so I got most of these in one morning. Very fun job before the weather gets too hot. ^__^ I went to Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Shibuya, and of course, Akihabara. This time they are so lenient with us taking photos! Lucky~~ ♪

Crosschecking list from the schedule post.. I tried to make it as neat as possible… too many photos. Long ass report but I’m sure you will enjoy this! As promised, Nana delivered fresh from the oven.

Signboards.

Side of Cinema Sunshine @ Ikebukuro.

On top of DKB bank @ Shibuya

Ads trailers.
The best strategy is just to wait somewhere near traffic lights in a big street, with your camera ready to shoot.

July 5th @ Ikebukuro about 8pm
The first time I attempted to wait for the 40 ft truck.. It was raining heavily, I waited for almost 1 hour before it finally arrives. I know Ikebukuro is a busy district but that truck was running really fast! I ran out from my shelter and took photos under the rain. Result was okay..

I got a slight fever the day after. True story orz. And I actually saw a female staff went down from the truck when it stopped for traffic light to take photos too.

July 8th @ Akihabara about 7pm.
Now this is much better! Every 10 minutes the truck runs past me, SLOWLY! And both trailers were there! Awesomeness. Gotta love my SLR too /gg

20 feet ad trailer.

I even recorded videos when the trucks went past me for the 3rd time haha.

Notice that I just waited in one spot lol.

Trains & stations.

This is the advertisement hanging inside JR Saikyo line train. There’s only 1 Nana ad for every 3 carriages, I think… good enough to make it inside the train though. w

Now this is real impressive..

B0 poster of IMPACT EXCITER + 2x B1 posters of LIVE GAMES. This is in Ikebukuro station near Marunouchi line.

Since we already see that IE poster so freaking many times.. these LIVE GAMES posters look refreshing and totally yummy. <3333

Now, let’s check out inside the shop.

Nana works here!!
It literally means Nana wearing the shop’s apron!!!$#@!#! Best idea ever! And also, the head store even has the actual apron with sign!

Tower Records @ Shibuya. Sorry tried my best to get rid of me, but couldn’t. Damn shiny glass. Well at least now you know I’m not a fat yaoi girl lolol.

Tora no Ana @ Akihabara. The only one not in a display case or at least covered. Very tempted to touch it….. ;A;

Animate @ Akihabara. いらっしゃいませ！TOO CUTE.

Gamers @ Ikebukuro (left) and Akihabara (right). TWO POSES!! Yay I love Gamers. The one in Ikebukuro is my favorite btw.

Costume exhibition.

* Ehime Mandarin Orange uniform @ Shibuya TSUTAYA 1F
* Regular jacket costume @ Shibuya Tower Records

* Limited jacket & Musterion PV costume @ Shinjuku Tower Records

Shop displays.

Tora no Ana @ Akihabara. Front display.

Animate @ Akihabara. Front display on level 2.

Gamers @ Ikebukuro. I love the idea of filling the wall with Nana! That’s sooo Musterion style! I wonder how long it took them to do that lol.

Gamers @ Akihabara. Nana’s Day is also Tanabata… so we should make a wish! I also put up my tanzaku paper somewhere there.. xD

Tower @ Shinjuku. WE ♥ NANA!! DUH.

Tower @ Shinjuku. I wasn’t the only one there standing in front of a magazine rack without any intention to look at the magazines…

Tower @ Shinjuku. Hanging on the ceilings. They have so many can I take one ;__;

Nana x Tower Posters
Deserves a separate section because it’s just too awesome!! I didn’t really have time, but I unknowingly wasted 30 minutes in this shop just drooling…..

The whole amazing display. 10 posters in total on the wall. Pics below in order from left to right.

#1 Only slightly different from the official Tower poster I’ve seen everywherreeee.
#2 LOL NANA LISTENS TO LADY GAGA. It’s only for show but LOL. xD
#3 I’m glad Nana’s just posing and won’t actually read those books (this and this)… no idea what those are about but the covers are scary.
#4 Where’s that lucky phone now. Why am I not working in Tower Records.

#5 Barcode scanner. Durrrr thanks raizoo. I must still have my fever or something.
#6 Lower resolution. I forgot to take an individual pic of this…
#7 …maybe cuz too busy $!@#!%! at this. My pick for the best of 10.
#8 Hmm I wonder which Tower store this is.. looks like Akiba, but might be the upper levels of the main branch (Shibuya). I didn’t have time to go up and check. ;(

#9 Barcode scanner again (that I almost didn’t realize cuz there’s something better to stare at…)
#10 So why can’t Tower just give out one of these as the tokuten? I’m sure everyone would buy from them.
#11 The last one was placed near the information center. Too cute >_<

Opening & Closing call.
I recorded using phone. The result turns out pretty okay, at least listenable.

Opening call.
[audio:call_open.mp3]
Basically it was Nana saying good morning and welcomes us to the shop.. then Young Alive! starts playing! After a minute or so, Nana introduced her new album and this track. And she wants us to enjoy shopping in Tower Records! I certainly did enjoy lurking haha. xD

I waited outside Tower shop in Ikebukuro before it’s open at 10 am. Then went to Shinjuku for their opening at 11 am. Ikebukuro only repeats this twice, but Shinjuku kept looping this for 30+ minutes. xD

Closing call.
[audio:call_close.mp3]
Obviously it’s Shichigatsu Nanoka (now we know how to read this properly), suitable for closing time heh? Then Nana telling us to stop stalking her and just go home haha. Got this also in Ikebukuro shop since it closes at 9 pm, just nice. Shinjuku/Shibuya shops close at 11 pm, too lazy for that.

Freebies.

Well it’s free and I went to 4 different branches! What do you expect? Lol.

Cover (left) and contents page (right). No interview but I love the photos!

The white papers are Nanatsuushin which has Nana herself responding to 7 very standard questions I’m too lazy to translate, besides there’s nothing I hadn’t known yet

The other side has Nana’s handwritten message, but I found this colored page (with photo) in Tower Records in Akihabara, so try to decipher those nice handwriting yourself. I gave up on the 4th line.

Extra.

This is a small CD shop near my house. I was so surprised when I saw the IE poster when I walked home… so this small area really deserves to have me. *runs* xD

After thoughts.

I do think Nana collaborating with common music shops Tower Records and TSUTAYA in addition to the usual otaku shops (Gamers/Tora/Animate) has something to do with her attempt to go mainstream. The main costume exhibition are there too. I wonder how much they’ve spent for all these… but well the promotion paid off with the album sold 50% more than UD.

And .. phew, that was plenty of stuff. I wonder how I managed to get all those within 2 days (1 morning + 1 evening to be exact), lolol. Hail me? xD
