The 94th Comic Market peer exchange ended last weekend with a total of 530,000 participants in all three days. During the event, ORICON NEWS released a series of unique and unique news, showing the world’s largest doujinshi sales fair from multiple sides. .
In a press release, ORICON NEWS pointed out that this activity was also affected by the aging. .
Comiket, born in 1975, is among the exhibitors who are also middle-aged and old-age writers. The reporter interviewed a number of middle-aged participants who had more than 20 years of experience in combating the war and listened to them about the difficulty of taking care of working families and creative hobbies. .
A 46-year-old man who has participated in Comiket for 25 years believes that the age of the participants in this exhibition has risen all the way. Although there will be new young people to join, but more are people who have been insisting for many years. Although this has made it possible for people of different ages to have communication opportunities, the man believes that the recent young people “have no perseverance. In the previous era, there was no trafficking. People will stay in the venue until the end, looking for various feelings. Interested things. But nowadays, many people just buy things that they have found in advance and go back immediately.” .
And a 20-year-old male exhibitor also felt the aging of Comiket. “Especially in the field of military martial arts, many of them are senior otaku. The impression is that the uncles who have lived in their interests since the 1980s and 1990s are working hard.” A man in his twenties said, “The older people are a little sloppy. When we say something wrong, they will correct it immediately.” But this is not all bad. “Everyone has a lot of knowledge, and young people have learned a lot from them.”
The reporter believes that it is certainly not a bad thing for a senior otaku to enjoy the activities for many years. However, with the development of the Internet, the methods of activities of the same people have begun to diversify. If you want Comiket to continue in the future, it may be necessary to think about how to attract fresh blood for a long time. .

In other articles, ORICON NEWS also paid attention to the high temperature, body odor, and controversy caused by cosplayer’s exposed clothing. The exposure cosplayer mentioned here also includes men – a hot tweet mentioned. The staff reminded the cosplayer in the men’s locker room. “There are also suspicious people who have a bad attitude towards men.” .
Comic Market believes that cosplay is one of the foundations of “family culture”. They want to respect the freedom of participants’ physical performance and make them develop. They do not want to over-supplement and lead to shrinking. But at the same time, they started to restrict cosplay last winter, banned “clothing that might be considered underwear” and “speaking loudly or loudly by ordinary people in public.” .
And the participants have different attitudes. Some people think that they should be relaxed, and some people say that “the cosplayer and other coser that do not want to be exposed appear on the same occasion”. .
A 20-year-old woman cosplayer said in an interview that what she hopes most is that everyone can participate in Comiket happily. “Although there are controls, I don’t want to reduce the degree of exposure. I just want to be faithful to the original characters. Because of this, I fully understand the rules. As long as everyone has a moral attitude, cover it when moving. It’s good to have exposed parts and coats.”
Another male participant in his forties mentioned that the cosplay of the stalk will change with the times, and the rules will change. When “Football” was popular, Comiket’s participants kicked the football in the stadium, and the football flew around so much that the organizers had to ban football. .

The times have brought changes to Comiket. While many of the changes may be damaging today, there are also changes that everyone will like – for example, technology that will make it easier for everyone to walk around. .
VR Technology Inc. HoloLab and the fan portal Circle.ms started an experiment to launch an online catalog of Microsoft’s smart glasses HoloLens. Simply install a dedicated app on HoloLens and open it, and you’ll see a series of information based on your location, such as the area you’re in, the booth number of the surrounding community, the community name, and an introduction. .
Although this technology is still very imperfect, the experiment has exposed many problems to be solved, but after the editor of the VR news site Mogura VR personally tried it, he gave a positive evaluation: “It is easy to find a society suddenly. Being able to take a glimpse of the future of shocking people.” .
HoloLab’s developers are now actually measuring the size, arrangement and spacing of booths to adjust the data and improve accuracy and display in the future. In the future, the app will also be linked to the data of Circle.ms, which can highlight the community that the user has paid attention to in advance, and display the sales information of the community in real time. .
In addition, this application can be used in exhibitions other than Comiket after it has been put into practical use. .

New technology doesn’t know when it will be put into use, but Comiket has already ushered in new changes. .
Influenced by the preparations for the Tokyo Olympics in Japan, the two Comikets, which will be held in the summer and winter of 2019, cannot use the East Exhibition Building of Tokyo Big Sight, and the remaining three display buildings add up to the previous 75%. In order to ensure that as many clubs as possible will be allowed to exhibit while the venue is limited, and to avoid security problems caused by crowded participants, the next two Comiket will be held for 4 consecutive days. .

Although the two sessions were only special measures to deal with special circumstances, in retrospect, Comiket was only one day in each session since its inception in 1975. After that, due to various special reasons, several sessions were held intermittently. After the Comiket of the day, the practice of 2 days per session was finally established in 1986. After that, the exhibition was expanded from 2 days to 3 days. It was originally a special case to commemorate the 20th anniversary. However, as the scale of the exhibition expanded, it was fixed for 3 days. .
So, although the two Comikets held next year are only for the special case of the Olympics, but no one can say, Comiket will not make the exception as usual in the past. .
The same person painter swears and counts:
- .
- 1995: Comiket changed from 2 days to 3 days. .
- 2019: Comiket changed from 3 days to 4 days. .
- 2043 years: Comiket changed from 4 days to 5 days. .

However, some netizens pointed out that by about 6000 years, Winter Comiket and Summer Comiket have become 365 days. .
Great, you don’t have to wait eight thousand years to see this day.
