So after several requests, Kevin agreed to write a post on the girls at the Tokyo Game Show. Armed with his camera he set out towards the first booth, however the girls seemed to have a slightly different idea…

Luckily for you, Holli and I have decided to bring you the very best of the TGS 2008 girls! We have developed a complex ranking scheme in the hope to enhance the enjoyment of our photo collection.

We will be ranking the girls on a scale of 1 to 5 in the following categories:

Posing
Ability to blend in on the streets of Tokyo
Advertising skills
Quality of costume
Originality
Personality

ENJOY! Oh and don’t forget to check back tomorrow because we didn’t quite get everyone yet! So we will be posting up more lovely ladies on Sunday!

So here are our first ladies, we met them as we first came into the Tokyo Game Show, they were encouraging some rather un-athletic men to play twister with them, needless to say they didn’t have a very difficult task convincing people to join them nor did they struggle winning any of the games… don’t worry I got that on camera too!

[Ed. Check out the YT video!]

Stats:

Comments: These girls were truly awesome, they were super excited about everything, however when it was photo time they resorted to the ever popular Japanese ‘peace’ sign, sigh, what a disappointment. And their costumes are actually fairly rubbish. It’s lucky they’re cute is all I can say.

OK here’s number 2! The HUDSON GIRLS! There were quite a few of them actually, but sorry I only got 3 in the picture, it’s a little crazy competing with so many men for these shots…

Stats:

Comments: My points seem very average, they only got 3 for posing because although the first girls is posing the others knew about the picture and still didn’t bother, outrageous! Haha! I love that they are posing with that tiny magazine that nobody can read (oh no…), special costume points go out for the cuffs with no shirt and big tie, not very original though!

These 3 lovely ladies come as a set! They were awesome is all I can say!

Stats:

Comments: I didn’t really talk to these girls and they get 0 for advertising because I didn’t get any leaflets or anything! Though their costumes were awesome, they do loose 1 point because they are wearing a lot more clothing than some of the other girls, but what with accessories such as fairy wings and elf ears how can you go wrong?

The ‘Mobake Town’ girl. Yup she looks real cute doesn’t she?

Stats:

Comments: She is defiantly one of the cutest girls of the day, however she wasn’t very nice to us! She wouldn’t let us play the game behind her, I’m not entirely sure why, maybe she thought we just wouldn’t get it… It does look pretty complex. I really like her costume though.

The AU Girls, one of them was giving out fans, even though it’s mid-October…
I really wanted the girls hat, but I don’t think I could handle the job that goes along with it!

Stats:

Comments: The girls score highly for the following reasons, their awesome outfits, the fact that if they stood in front of an AU phone shop they would blend right in like a chameleon and because they are neon, and therefore completely visible for miles even at TGS. Oh and for some reason the first girl took a little while deciding which pose you’d like best, so appreciate that!

Interchannel , impressing people with some of the smallest costumes at the game show

Stats:

Comments: Paper hats?! What is this a kids birthday party!? Compare her to the AU girls and she fails miserably! Oh and that’s her pose too, she’s not trying to catch the hat as it falls off her head! Still she seemed to be doing a good job as she’d got a lot of other people to wear those hats too!

The ‘Discover New Creation’ girl, frilly…

Stats:

Comments: She was really cute! And obviously her costume was great, but she wouldn’t do very well on the streets of Tokyo. And her costume wasn’t exactly original either, haha!

Super shiny, super long socks, and advertising PROFESSOR LAYTON 3! They have my vote for sure.

Stats:

Comments: Posing was rubbish and I don’t see their costumes being very good on a day to day basis, which is why they are one of my favourite outfits at TGS! Plus I guess I’m a little bias because they are advertising a game I love!

The TECMO Girls. Yeah these girls sure loved to pose, the black and red girl posed for about 10 shots for 1 guy, he had one of those big zoom lenses…

Stats:

Comments: Yeah these girls score highly, but we all agreed their costumes were probably the most revealing of all of the stands! Therefore they advertised pretty well! There were no other costumes like theirs at the show and they were really popular!

This girl was just awesome, but what made her so cool is that to play the games on her booth you had to dress like a wizard, yup, those are the rules!

Stats:

Comments: I didn’t talk to her but her booth and her costume were both really fun and original so she gets lots of points!

And next to the most boring TGS costume…

Stats:

Comments: Well I guess it is original to have your models not scantily-clad, but it’s pretty weird! She looks like a guest, oops… maybe she was?

The Cosmic Break girl… another maid costume! But I like this one more.

Stats:

Comments: Well another maid costume, what more can I say about it? She looks pretty cute though, and she gave me free stuff!

The Cybernet Girl. - Yeah, that’s the company name tattooed on her body! …are they real? Probably…

Stats:

Comments: I think she has one of the best costumes mostly because of the tattoos, suspenders and excess plastic clothing! She’s also very cute and gave me free stuff which makes me like her more obviously.

The Marvelous Girls are truly marvelous…

Stats:

Comments: Yes, I think they could easily blend in on the streets of Tokyo, in fact, I think I’ve seen someone wearing that pink outfit before…
These guys were really awesome in every way so they get lots of points. They get 3 for personality because I didn’t speak to them.

The Capcom girl. Doing some serious advertising!

Stats:

Comments: She loved to pose that’s for sure, and what a perfect way to advertise your company’s name? Just get her to wear it as a belt, no chance anyone will miss it then! Oh and check out in the background the booth for Phoenix Wright 5, which I’m not supposed to have taken pictures of! It’s really awesome and set up to look like the court room!

And finally for the day… two super cute girls in blonde wigs.

Stats:

Comments: So these girls were actually at the back of their booth because people weren’t supposed to be photographic them, but I did anyway and they were really nice about it! That’s why they weren’t doing any advertising! Oh and there’s no way they’d blend in on the streets of Tokyo, trust me, with blonde hair you never can…

So that’s it for today, hope you liked it! I’ll try and get you some more great pictures of the girls tomorrow!
