Events

We exhibited at Tokyo International Anime Fair from the 22th to the 25th of March 2012.

The first two days were totally dedicated to business while other two to our fans.
During the event, it was possible to meet our Seasn 3 Members (feat. Nyanchi, Kaoru, Myata and Lily) and take pictures with them.
We streamed the whole 4 days event at our Youtube channel.

At the event “HachaMecha Matsuri Vol.1″ held at Shibuya Club Asia on March 3rd 2013, Mitsume Temo Season 3 had their first live event.

In the event we performed we an exclusive version of Bibirba’s Onigiri Lesson titled “MechaHai Onigiri” followed by the dance of “The Super Ribbon Song”, “La Festa del Patata” and “PaPePiPo! Help Me!”

We exhibited at Tokyo International Anime Fair from the 22th to the 25th of March 2012.

The first two days were totally dedicated to business while the following two were focused on the debut of Season 2 (featuring the members of 1Nen25Gumi) and a SoloFritto themed event.
During the event, it was possible to meet our characters and take pictures with them.
You can see a video of the 1Nen25Gumi’s event here, and a video of SoloFritto’s one here.

We should have exhibited at TIAF also in 2011 but the event was cancelled due to the earthquake followed by a tsunami which caused the nuclear disaster of Fukushima prefecture.

These are the pictures from SoloFritto opening event, held in collaboration with 1Nen25Gumi on February 22nd, 2012.

Please see our SoloFritto dedicated page for more information and a video excerpt of the event.

We exhibited at the Creative Market Tokyo 2011, on the 27th and the 28th of October 2011.

On that occasion, our webisodes series “How to make Onigiri” was awarded the WatchMe!Tv Supporter Award by Fuji Television Lab, a company of Fuji Television Group.

In the slides, you can see our booth and also a picture of the award ceremony.

This was a cosplay/dance charity event we held at Tokyo Net Wave on the 20th August 2011.

As many of you remember, on March 2011, a strong earthquake, followed by a huge tsunami, made thousands of victims and was the cause of the nuclear disaster in the prefecture of Fukushima
To help the victims and the refugees, we organised this charity event in cooperation with TNW.

The event was mainly composed by 2 areas: a cosplay area and a dance one.

We had Minami Sara (a voice actress) as an MC and 5 dancers (active on NicoNicoDouga): Sakane Yui, Bea, Yukohamu, Chishiri and Iroha.
At that time, Sakane Yui was collaborating with us as Rococo for Mitsume Temo Season 1.

The attendees of the event wrote messages for the refugees of the disaster on a big message board .

On the 8th of June 2011, our series “How to Make Onigiri” (which later on the same year would win a prize at the Creative Market Tokyo 2011) was screened in the Dams Film-Teatro Festival which was held in Rome, Italy, at the Palladium Cinema.

This time, 2 of our historical “Italian” team members, our copywriter Roberta Scarcella and our sound designer Filippo Saccucci, attended the event.
In one of the pictures you can see Roberta introducing the videos and the project.

Since we were screened to the Festival, the event organisers sorted out a small “Temo-shop”, whose profits were donated to assist the refugees of the earthquake/tsunami disaster that had taken place earlier that year.

After the success of the “I’ve come to Japan to protect Moe subculture!” seminar, this time Takis Proietti Rocchi held a 3-weeks-long workshop at Tokyo Net Wave from the 8th to the 26th of November 2010.

The workshop was attended by students from 16 to 23 years old.
You can see some of the students’ artworks here in the slide show.

At the same time, Takis learned a lot from that experience and from students suggestions. Some of the changes that Temo had in the following years came directly from the experiences made during the workshop.

We exhibited at the Design Festa on November 6th and 7th, 2010.

The event was close to Temo’s first anniversary, so we made a big panel of Temo holding a cake.
People willing to take picture with the panel would then partecipate to a riff where they could win one of the following prizes:

• Kurarin figure
• Papercraft
• Phone strap
• Calendar
• Takis plush

In addition, we exhibithed the drawings that won our first calendar contest and few of them were distributed as prizes as well.
During the event, it was also possible to listen to the preview of what would have been our first single, “The Super Ribbon Song”.

*Special easter egg: the costume Takis was wearing was inspired by this drawing made by one of our fans.

“I’ve come to Japan to protect Moe subculture!” was a seminar held on Tokyo Net Wave Design School on June 23rd, 2010.

This workshop, whose title is chosen with a provocative intent, was meant to discuss some of the many ethical concerns linked to the Designer’s job and furthermore, to the domain of visual communication.
“What a Designer is expected to do to be right? What must he protect? What he should fight for?

Browsing among some general considerations as a start-up, the seminar focused on the defence of the Moe sub-culture against the slandering manipulation policy that is carried out by the local media.
The duty of the modern Designer, who nowadays must engage in the protection of youth trends and culture, was widely discussed during the symposium.

The final part was centered on Takis Proietti Rocchi’s experience in Japan as a Designer from the West and on “Mitsume Temo and Round Earth Committee” project, which is in many ways connected to the arguments investigated during the workshop.

Nonetheless, Mitsume Temo herself assisted to the event and actively participated to the discussion.

We exhibited at the 31th edition of Design Festa on May 15th and 16th, 2010.

During the event it was possible to play rock-paper-scissors with Temo and, depending on the result of the match, it was possible to win prizes including:

• Postcards
• Magnets
• Baloons
• Mug cups
• iPhone cases
• Papercrafts
• Booklets

Mitsume Temo had her first appearance during the exhibition “Cultural Talks and Yatters. Personal Opinions.” which was held at JAGDA TOKYO on the 2009/11/17.
It was a collaborative exhibition between Takis Proietti Rocchi and Yano Masatsugu, both members of the JAGDA (Japanese Graphic Designer Association).

The exhibition lasted for 5 days, from the 17th to the 21st November 2009.
You can download the original press release here (made back in 2009).

Temo has changed a lot since then, so much that you probably will have a hard time recognizing her in her first appearence.
