A Vehicle-free St. in Akiba on the 29th: Nothing Happens- Mass Medias Cry
On the 27th, many mass media came to Akiba, and on the 29th (holiday), TV Asahi, TBS, and some other TV programs came to Akiba. Nevertheless, because it was a national holiday and many people probably knew that a group of people has started patrolling around, there was almost no cosplayers or performers. Staff of mass medias looked boring.

On the 27th, many mass media came to Akiba, and on the 29th (holiday), TV Asahi, TBS, and some other TV programs came to Akiba.
Nevertheless, because it was a national holiday (not Sunday), police was always at the vehicle-free street, and many people probably knew that a group of people has started patrolling around, there was almost no cosplayers or performers. Staff of mass medias looked boring and relaxed sitting on a guardrail.
I have no idea what was the purpose of each mass media to come to Akiba, but from what cameraman from Yomiuri TV said before –we want a picture of playing music-, their theme is probably "Akiba is going crazy." By the way, the message of Nippon TV & Yomiuri TV that already showed their programs on TV was "Akiba is going crazy."
Some people who looked like from one of the TV shows (no logo on their camera) who also came on Sunday were interviewing stores and following the Big Four of Akiba (Haruhi cross-dressing) on this day.
