Tokyo CGM Night 2話
「Tokyo CGM Night」2話は青山のFiat Caffeで開催された。主催者は僕とアンドリューだ。
前回のTokyo CGM NightではWeiden and Kennedyのおしゃれなオフィスで開催され、参加者はおよそ40人ぐらいだった。今回は100人以上が参加すると想定したので、アンドリューはもっと大きなイベントスペースを探して参りました。
「Tokyo CGM Night」では、数千億億億億PVを稼ぐノーハウを持つメジャーブロガーやYouTubeのトップディレクターや業界人が参加するイベントです。
今回の豪華ゲストはマイクロソフトジャパンの元会長古川享さん、アップルの元営業本部長/Focal Pointの代表取締役恩田フランシス英樹、FONの創業者Ejovi Nuwereだ。
参加した方の中ではトップブロガーの。。。

Hey Danny,
Thanks again for organizing a great event on Friday night! It was great. Can't wait until next month...

wow looks like a really cool event, i wish i could go but im stuck here in boring England^_^
Student Otaku (ITM Student) and ACG NA Staff
http://koiaichaku.com/
JUST WOW!!!!!!
Looks like fun too!!!!!!
I wonder if regular bloggers from outside of Japan are allowed to attend if something like this happens again...
I would love to join and see all and meet all these cool industry people...

It'll also be a great learning experience for an ITM student that is trying to get into the industry...

Looks like everyone there had a great night
the fiat cafe looks like an awesome place to hold events but i guess it's better for you guys to keep it fresh with new places each time
there's not much of a gap between CGM nights if your holding one next month do you still expect the same attendance if not i am sure you can find many volunteers here to represent the "consumer" part of CGM

Hey Francis!
Sorry - my mind was going numb from all the copy pasting of urls - fixed!
Ping you soon.
Looking for Work
I want to go! =O But first I must take the internet by storm... Hmm.
Perhaps some of us DC.com members should collaborate? Create something new, something exciting, something that will catch the attention of countless people! Then we can have fun, drink, and network with all the wonderful people in the pictures above! ^_^
machinery operator, eskimo, blame taker
I vote yes
There seem to be a few people here in the more creative industries or studying to enter them perhaps now is the time to step up and show people what you've got I'm sure danny will invite you to CGM night if you can make an impact (disclaimer I cannot actually be sure what danny will do he is his own person and not in anyway influenced by promises I may or may not make to others using this website)
Looking for Work
Yeah I've seen a lot of creative talent around on this website. It'd be really cool to collaborate with some members in hopes of making a big impact within this community ^_^
I'm a graphic designer by hobby and I created a theatrical trailer for a Machinima I am currently making. I was considering posting that on here.. Not to sure if something like that would really make a big impact though. I wonder if other DC.com members have suggestions of "What could make an impact?" on here to really catch the attention of Danny and other members alike.
university student
I agree with the both of you. I was thinking already about what could be done.
If you don't mind me suggesting something. What about inviting Danny to the US and holding a big reward party with all the DC members invited to honor Danny's accomplishments.
Looking for Work
That'd be very costly! I was thinking more along the lines of an existing event which is the CGM Night. What could make an impact enough on here that would get members recognised more and to hopefully attend one of these awesomesauce parties ^_^'
university student
so we are looking for something that members can do to get more recognized and with that would come an invite to CGM am I fallowing you correctly
CEO MIrai Inc
http://www.dannychoo.com/profile/eng/
CGM will be held world wide in the future - details soon.
Looking for Work
Now that does sound good! Although a CGM Night in Tokyo would be a dream come true. I've always wanted to see Japan in all its glory =]

Great idea
Looking for Work
Glad you think so! You have any ideas of what would take the internet by storm? ^_^

university student
these events look like so much fun. great job keep it up
Looking for Work
Yeah what you said above sounds correct ^^' It'd be an incredible experience to actually be apart of CGM Night and if we as members can achieve something together that can really have an impact on the community and really grasp them then I am sure it'd be fun for all =]

Looks like it was fun; wouldn't mind trying to win some of those SAFS...
Something I was wondering: there are a lot of gaijin folk at these events, so do people sometimes revert back to English when talking to each other, or is everybody so fluent in Japanese that you don't even bother?

You probably get this a lot...seeing how often you wear the Storm Trooper Armor these days...
How often does the armor go into the 洗濯機? I've been agonizing over the decision to get one...but worry that it might be an incredible hassle to have it cleaned.

Congrats on the event. Glad to see so many people came out to it. I've always got the impression that the CGM scene was pretty big, but the photos here really help to put it in perspective. Even if those that showed up only constitute a small portion the bloggers, Youtubers, etc. out there, that's a fair chunk of people.
Injured
That looked like a super event this time. I remember that Blog-TV interview when the link was put up on your site the 1st time, some time around when Aya Hirano fainted during one interview with you on TV in time (thats how my memory works now). It is interesting to me that in the videos the presentations are in English (glad I don't have to wait to have them subbed by someone). Video 2 on the list up there has the one Figurine getting knocked over the comment "That didn't happen" was perfect and "need a medic". That one guy that said he would put the one figurine where hes daughter wont find it, lol , good luck with that they can sense them through walls. Looks as if you, Danny, got out with some pretty nice figurines yourself.

@Mitsu: Are you online right now? Girls take more thought before standing up because they know that they're being watched. Guys are usually the first at everything because of reasons listed in IB World. (Go to IB room and read it mitsuuu!) :D :3

http://asianmoviereviews.wordpress.com
Danny, you've probably answered this before, but will we be seeing more videos by you (or even by others of your events/outings etc) on DC.com?? I think it would be great if you were able to put up a video (a similar idea to what you did with the stormtrooper) once in a while as i found this a real treat (as well as a boost in motivation to do what it is that we want to do in life), and im sure others will agree with me on this.
Just want to congratulate you on the success of the event, it looked like a great bunch of people turned up and alot of fun was had!!! and also i cant stress enough how much fun i would have had if i was able to attend (even though i don't blog anywhere near as half of what most of the guys here at DC.com do). Best of luck with your future events!!!

It must have been a very funny night, playing junken to win goodies and stuff with all that great people.
By the way, after reading the footer of photo ID#24608 "I'm still holding out for the slimmer 32GB model due out in June - so I hear from an IT comrade in SanFran." I will also wait for the slimmer version, since iphone launch I've been waiting for Apple to make a thinner / smaller version. Great news!
I see that the founder of FON also was there, impressive! Last year I did a research on FON, and in Japan there are a lot of FON users (quite a bit more than in other places); I guess it must be because of the higher speed of Internet connection you have there.
The slide with the BHA thing, very unique and surprising!
