Japan PonyCon Spring 2015 has ended, and what a day it was! On May

4th, 2015, in Kita-ku, Tokyo, in the Hokutopia Building, the 5th Japan
PonyCon was held. Taking the 13th and 14th floors, 396 bronies
attended and had a great time all day.
Guests are one of the biggest draws for any brony convention, and JPC
was no exception. The day started with a video skype call to the
wonderfully talented Cathy Weseluck, who answered questions, chatted
with fans, and even showed her improv skills by creating a nervous
dragon's Japan PonyCon Anthem!
For the first time, Japan PonyCon had live guests! Musicians The
Living Tombstone and Eurobeat Brony were able to come and visit Japan,
interact with fans all day, and perform live at the DJ Event! This is
the first time Japan PonyCon has been able to have guests of honor
visit us in person, so we were very excited to have them, and they, by
all accounts, were a ton of fun, and rocked the house.
For the charity auction, once again, proceeds went to Orphans of the
2011 Tohoku Quake. There were many items to be had, including stunning
artwork, signed comics, An Elements of Harmony book signed by 5 of the
MLP writing staff, a Season 4 original script signed by writer Josh
Haber, and a full sized Derpy fursuit. All in all, over ￥300,000
($2520) was raised!
Panels throughout the day on both floors covered tips of starting
conventions, preparing a Season Five bingo card, background pony and
Easter egg scene discussions, and a hidden stamp rally with special
prizes for whoever could find all 6. The artist alley was busy as
usual, with many high quality items for sale and lines forming for
each vendor soon after opening.
This time around, 57 people signed up for Spirit Attendance. That
means, those people will soon have a Japan PonyCon badge, conbook, and
a few Japanese treats heading their way, all over the world. At only
￥1500 ($12.50), we think that's a great deal, and hope more people
will support future Japan PonyCons in this manner.
Japan PonyCon Spring 2015 was a great success, and we would like to
thank all of our guests, skype and live, attendees, and staff for
helping to make it such a wonderful, memorable time. The next Japan
PonyCon will be in 2016- we hope to see you there!
