American Voice Actor vs. Danish – with Robert McCollum 

Join Robert on his quest to learn Danish, and get to hear him say your lines as your favourite character in your own language! If you speak Danish. Non-danish speakers beware: This is probably still going to sound hilarious to your ears.

Bonsai: a living art form 

Bonsai is a meeting between artistic expression, deep horticultural knowledge of trees, a high degree of craftsmanship, and a sculptural endeavour. With its history dating back thousands of years, bonsai in all its forms has fascinated people in many different cultures for a long time. As a practice, it requires great understanding of trees and plant growth in general as well as a high degree of patience and an eye for design.

Jan Leung and Jonas Lint are both deeply engaged practitioners and will share their knowledge of the artform – from the historical aspects to general techniques used in the craft.

Cosplay Catwalk 

Come show off your cosplay in J-Popcon’s Cosplay Catwalk! All costumes of official designs are welcome, both homemade and purchased. Sign-up closes at 19:45 and the catwalk will begin at 20:00.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Tournament 

Last year’s successful rhythm drum-smashing contest returns! Bigger and louder than ever, you will experience a miniature version of one of Japan’s most popular arcade machines. We cannot wait to see you there!
