We got back around 6:30 and the first 6 groups had already started their rehearsals and were just about finished so things worked out well. These pics including the ones on the Japanese blog will give you a little idea of what the performances will look like.

First up in the second half and 8th overall was USA.Their performance had some powerful dancing and it was light hearted, the crowd should get into it.

Next we had China, a flowing dance performance with movable screen backgrounds.

After that was Germany a lighter presentation with dancing, props and a story progression.

11th overall is Singapore, their performance involved a love storyline and they change during the performance.

The 5th performance in the second half of performances is Brazil with an action packed 3 minute presentation with a robot and lots of guns.

Next up was Italy with a 2 part presentation with a dance, a fight and impressive background props.

Last up was Team Tokyo Japan who's walk through was difficult to make out as the 2 crawled around a lot. They will be doing "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" and one of the pair is an Ohmu.

The evening finished late around 10 pm with a run through of how the event will be closed. Where prizes will be awarded and where to receive them, a fun run off stage into the crowd a return and a bow were all run through.
