Some time ago an announcement was posted to the site of Japanese Embassy in Russia - Misako Aoki was to visit Moscow as Kawaii Ambassador. To describe our excitement better I should say that we've never had anything like this happen - while AP and BTSSB visit the US and France regularly, up till last year the best we've had were Anime Cons. Only in November last year did Tokyo Decadance come to Moscow, followed by An Cafe in March and then other bands. In the cultural sense Russia was a pretty much blank spot on the map for Japan, much to our disappointment.
The head of Loli community in Russia (and Moscow), Korin, did her best to make this event happen and, needless to say, it was mindblowing!
