Itasha Show Illustrations
Danny Choo of dannychoo.com has recently did a post of the Itasha car show that was held at the last comiket. Itasha basically means plastering your vehicle with anime stickers and other forms of decrorations.
I have managed to find 2 of the illustrations used on the bonnet of the PINK CHU CHU fan’s car.
(Clicky click on image for the high-res version)
Both illustrations are from the eroge Miraroma , also known as Miracle Romanace Strawberry Scramble. If anyone has the rest of the illustrations, please do share ^^;
Want that PINK CHU CHU itasha now!
I won’t mind pastering my car (when I get one) with illustration that I drew (If I could draw properly) so it’s probably PINK CHU CHU’s illustrations for now ^^; How about some Happobi Jin?
Would any of you guys itasha your car?

Comiket 71
Comiket 71 is drawing near! It’s Winter Comiket a.k.a Fuyucomi!
For those who do not know what comiket is
Comiket, otherwise known as the Comic Market or CM, is the world’s largest comic convention, held twice a year in Tokyo, Japan. The first CM was held in December 1975, with only about 30 participating circles and an estimated 700 attendees. Attendance has since swelled to over a quarter of a million people. The convention lasts for three days. It is a grassroots, DIY effort for selling dōjinshi, self-published Japanese works. As items sold in CM are considered very rare (because dōjinshi are seldom reprinted), some items sold at CM can be found in shops or on the Internet at prices up to 10 times the item’s original price.
The continuing operation of CM is the responsibility of the Comic Market Preparatory Committee (CMPC).

Well, is anyone going for this one?
^ Tokyo Big Sight, Odaiba, Tokyo
Comiket 71
Dates: Dec 29-31, 2006
Time：10:00 ~ 16:00
Location: Tokyo Big Sight Halls East 1-2-3-4-5-6 West 1-2-3-4; Ariake 3-21-1, Koto-ku, Tokyo
The location is the same as always, over at Tokyo Big Sight (Winter),on December 29,30,31 in 2006. This year’s comiket is a little odd, as it finishes on New Year’s eve. After which, there is Shogatsu (New Year) which is the most important holiday in Japan and most businesses would be closed from January 1 to January 3, and families spend time together. There is also special dishes to be eaten as well, such at Osechi ryori, otoso and ozoni.
Okay, I went abit off track there ^^.
I guess it would be cold over at comiket as it’s winter, so people who are going, do wear sufficient clothes and at least a mode of transportation home as it would be very very very crowded (New Year’s eve). You could probably grab one or two extras and hide them under your clothes :p
The catalog for C71 is out on the internets as well. I do see a couple of interesting stuff. Too bad I can’t attend any for these events as I’m not in Japan. Give me 5 more years :)

Yum!
Well, upon doing a little search for you, I found no new pics of Miraroma (Boo.).
However, you got one video on Youtube (Yay!) and there are figures of Erika and Kaede (Which sadly are way subpar).
*Briefly drools at the second picture*
Ahem. Anyway, and to return to the main subject, I don’t own a car and I would only go for itasha if I were sure at 100% that my car would be safe before and after applying stickers.
Well, that’s that. *Disappears again*
*Reappears for a very short time*
Sorry for a second comment in a row, but I wanted to inform you that there are HUGE scans of Miraroma at moe.imouto.
I’m truly off now. ^^
*Rushes out like the wind*
nice.
*right click right target as…* (‘~’)
I hope to see your own Bisyojyo game themed itasha in near future!
I saved the images before even start reading. LOL
Oooooooooo :3
If I ever had a car and money, I’d instantly plaster it with Key and Nanoha stuff. No questions asked.
holy shit pantsu flash time!
Not really a fan of Itasha, mostly because this seems to be something really Japanese and it’s something we would never see here in Portugal because the anime here is not really that famous
I don’t know if it’ll help, but those illustrations are from the Miraroma Special Calendar.
Would never convert my car into an itasha since my money would go into performance upgrades while keeping the car looking stock. Nothing can beat a piano black coating of paint, NOTHING!!! =P
great find! Love the illustrations nosebleeds on the pantsu flashing
@D_Blade: That’s where I originally grabbed it from ^^;
@don777: Hm.. I would like to do that!
@Deathy: LOL! They won’t run
@Zeroblade: If they start selling moe KEY cars, will you be the first to buy?
@Belela: Probably more suitable in places where anime is more exposed, like the South East Asia side.
@Hemisphere: Ah! Thanks! Now to look for a torrent of it that’s still being seeded.
@Hiji: NO U! I’ll plaster it with Rin stickers. Rin
huhu thanks! *nosebleeds*
Would love to decorate my red little french car with some Haruhi itasha haha.
If only i could have 1 decal set for each day of the week! Lucky Star Kona/Kagamin, a Shugo Chara set, a Rena set, a Shana set, a loli-collection set and a DaCapoI/II set! (^ v ^)
First, i need to GET the car to put them on.
=[
Only a Rin AI for the car’s computer systems please D=.
needs more ero on the car.
