“Japanese Arts Fiesta, or JAF, is an annual Japanese culture-themed event aimed at educating the public about the traditional as well as the pop culture of the Japanese society, together with providing a platform for all those who love Japanese culture in Singapore to gather and share the joy. All are welcomed to bask in the atmosphere of amusement and enjoyment.

JAF was first initiated by the students of Dunman High School’s Anime Comics and Gaming Club in 2011 as a charity cultural event in partnership with Children’s Cancer Society. With the reins passed on to the newly formed Yutaka Japanese Cultural Club (DHS YJCC) in 2012, this year marks the return of JAF2 with a larger play area and more entertaining attractions, including a Haunted House.”

Yes! JAF is coming back again! With SOY gone, it’s nice to see another For-Fans-By-Fans event still standing. What's more, it’s by a group of secondary school students!

 

Check out the awesome list of things happening at JAF this year.

Meido deprived Singaporean Otakus, you know themed Cafes like these are hard to come by. So make sure you get your dose of Meido Moe fix at the Toki Doki Meido x Shitsuji Cafe!

I’m not allowed to reveal the Menu but I’ll let you in on something, it looks yummy XD

 

The Guest Maids Emi and Yami. I think Yami is supposed to be a tsundere, thus her kinda standoff-ish self introduction and gothic accessories xD

 

More maids and butler pictures ^^

Other than the highly anticipated Maid and Butler Cafe, there is also my personal favourite. The Haunted house XD! The last time I tried one was at a Japanese School Open House. I’m definitely looking forward to scaring the hell out of the Ghosts and Zombies >D!

Also look out for popular Singaporean Cosplayers Aya, Raistlin, Lawliet, Xrystal and Rainer Tachibana. They will be the Cosplay Judges for JAF II’s Cosplay Competition.

  

Other than the highlights above, there will also be Singing performances , Manga Drawing Competition , Games and Photography Booths. I love any events that gives the attendees something to play with, other than the usual merchandise buying and stage performance watching. I have ADHD, I cannot stand still xD.
