Or should I say, “Genchoken.”
To celebrate the Genchoken CD release (Genchoken being the bi-weekly radio show which accompanied the broadcast of Genshiken 2), otaku will be able to briefly live, Genshiken style, at Karaoke Pasela in Akihabara.
There, customers will have access to a karaoke room with a Genshiken-themed decor and sing to their hearts’ content. And to make it as authentic as possible, the only songs allowed will be from things that exist in Genshiken, e.g. Kujibiki Unbalance and Ramen Angel Pretty Menma. They will also be playing the actual Genchoken CD as well.
To top it all off, if you’ve bought the Genchoken CD and you sing Kujian/Menma songs in the Genshiken room, then you can enter a drawing to win some autographed swag from the cast of Genshiken.
Existence of specific Ogiue-themed merchandise unknown at this time.

hey, I love your blog, as I am also very much fond of Ogi.
Back to the subject, this karaoke thing sounds like a blast. Too bad americans aren’t into this kind of stuff.

Better check the auctions once this event is over for Ogi-goods.
