Has anyone from /jp/ ever been to one of the parties in the mogra club in Tokyo or to one of the parties of the netlabel Maltine?


They play anime/akiba rave/electronic dance music, crowd consists mostly of otakus.You see people in the hallways and in the back of the dancefloor playing 3DS and PSP, talkin about anime for hours and so on. The events are pretty much sold out everytime even though it's still a niche scene in Japan.

They usually stream the parties as well on http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mogra1 . Other than that, there are lots of people there with their laptop, they just dance in the crowd hold the laptop above their head and stream for those who don't come out.

check out
http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/48215696 (e.g. skip to 01:29:00 to hear something familiar).

A lot of the music the djs play comes from the netlabel Maltine Records, they put all of their releases, more than 130 so far, up for free download on http://maltinerecords.cs8.biz/

Made this long post because it blows my mind, this community which is known to be reclusive and socially awkward as fuck coming together for events like this. Takes a lot more guts to go out to a nightclub than to con. At least I can get some kind of idea how it feels to be there from watching it alone at night in my bedroom on the internet and post about it on /jp/.

There's 2 types of otaku nowadays.

1. normie otacools
2. hikki otakus

I belong to the group of REAL otaku who take pleasure in the things they're actually obsessive about instead of looking for fuckbuddies 24/7 because they feel their hobby is so boring without 100 people surrounding them at all times. Can you guess which one I am?

I wish I could go to a club and be able to act normally. I wouldn't mind having real sex and moving away from moeblob. 3D would be less gross, but I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings if I don't like their face. It might be otacool or normalfag or fakeNEET, but I don't want to be a hikki or a NEET anymore. I really need to feel good about myself gain some self esteem. I'm not giving up!

I've always wanted to check out the otaku rave scene in Japan, definitely on my to-do list if I ever actually buy a plane ticket.

I'm big into the doujin music and the western electronic music / rave scene so I would probably be in heaven.

It's strange, everything about interacting with people outside scares the shit out of me but as soon as I go to a club or venue that is playing music I'm into all that fades away. I guess it's cause I know I for sure have something in common with everyone there and it's comforting.

Only normie retards go to parties for that reason; there are plenty of otaku-related parties in Japan like denkyun which are frequented mostly by otaku who don't go to normal parties. And even outside of Japan people who go to niche parties go to dance, not to fuck. That said, I don't go to clubs but I know plenty of Japanese otaku who are reclusive throughout the day but go out when there's a anison/erogeson/denpason party since they can be open and expressive about their hobbies there. Just be open to correcting your prejudices.

Because when you do other things like thay, you meet new ppl and get to know all kinds of girls too.
I started martial arts because of Hajime no Ippo, now I already do kickboxing for 5 years and have a black belt in taekwondo and I got to know this (8/10) /fit/ taekwondo chick I met in the dojo.
