Cosplayer/Gravure Idol Photoshoot Reservation & Interpreter Service (Tokyo)

tldr: I had a blast! It was quite the experience. Luyee (my guide/translator) was amazing and really highlighted the whole adventure. I highly recommend this and want to do it again soon! I am a solo traveler. This seemed like it could be a fun time so I booked it on a whim and I'm really glad I did. They quickly got in touch with me and knocked out a few more details (ie group session vs solo, time slots, ect), sent me helpful info such as rules and stuff to help me find the place, got everything reserved and set me up with my translator/guide, Luyee. Luyee was awesome! I was a total beginner (so i opted for the group session) and she helped calm my nerves and really helped me through the whole thing. I didnt bring a camera so I was able to rent a professional one (with a SD card to keep). Now for my experience there were 4 time slots, each an hour long with a 20 minute break in between each, I stayed for 3 slots. There were about 10 models and they each had an automatic timer next to them, giving you a minute to interact with her and pose her the way you want. When the timer beeps, if another customer was queued behind you, you would essentially take turns. However, if no one was queued you can just continue with the model. I was pretty shy with my requests in the first session but I warmed up in the subsequent sessions and the girls are pretty receptive to your wants. This is also where Luyee comes in again! I had a few poses I liked to keep coming back to and she caught on to that, by the end she was almost reading my mind! It made communicating with the models very smooth and quick. Again, she was awesome and really made the whole thing comfortable, like I was there with a friend. Anyway, by the end, I'm not kidding, I took over 9k photos (rental camera go brrr). Maybe thats overboard but they gave me that SD card and I wanted to fill it haha 😅 One thing to note is, depending on the day you book there are different themes. Swimsuit, Uniforms, all that jazz. So maybe keep an eye out for that! I asked natsuki_saki (model) for permission to post this Polaroid but I'll keep the other 9k images to myself! Again, highly recommend!

A eye opening experience. Obviously photos taken cant be uploaded here

had an amazing time, helpful on translation and communication with others, help me in questions about how it works as it is a first time for me.

It is recommended that you first check the website of that event for the models you have that day, which may not necessarily be cosplay ones, and see if you like the ones you like before purchasing them. Also, I hope the translator (director) can be on time, otherwise if she/he is late, the time will be deducted. The time is The time arranged by the studio was not made up for
