I really enjoyed going to Tekko 2016, it was one of the best experiences in my life. I purchased the vip ticket and it was well worth every penny.

I participated in most of the fashion events and recommend this convention to everyone especially those with high interest in J-Fashion.

When you look at a convention like this, you’re looking at a group of mostly introverted people. This is an opportunity — they can get the videos online, now, play games online.
