[C107 Cosplay News] Winter Comiket kicks off! A surprisingly hot first day!? Unexpected weather and an introduction to the official cosplayers

[12/30 Urgent Update] Attention all afternoon visitors! The crowds at C107 are seriously insane!

*For those of you planning to join us on the second day (12/31), this is a "survival strategy." Please read it carefully.

C107 Day 1, everyone, thank you for your hard work!! ...I want to say that, but are the comrades who entered in the afternoon still breathing!? (Confirmed alive)

After researching social media and the devastation on-site, I discovered that this year's afternoon admission was "the worst hell ever." If you think, "I can get in without lining up in the afternoon (picks nose)," then you should just sink into Tokyo Bay. Seriously.

I've put together a realistic timeline of what happened on Day 1, from queuing to entering. Tomorrow's strategy is...Right now!!

According to official figures, the number of visitors was 15.

🕒 Screams galore on the first day!? Real admission timeline

On the first day, many participants screamed, "The line isn't moving!" and "Is this Disney?"
It appears that those aiming to enter around 13pm have been hit the hardest.

• 09:30 Arrive at the station and line up 👉 12:30 Admission
  • Winner. Only the bravest who can act at this time will seize victory in the afternoon.
• 10:00 Queue begins 👉 12:36 Admission
  • Is this the deadline!? A winning route that allowed us to go from south to west to east with plenty of time to spare.
• 11:20 End of the line (Yume no Ohashi Bridge) 👉 12:50 Admission
  • I wish the start of the Yume no Ohashi Bridge had just been a dream... (distant look).
• 12:30 Line-up begins 👉 13:45 Admission
  • There are reports of people lining up with the determination to spend the rest of their lives buying it. The book they were looking for? ... (suggestion) Give up.
• Arriving at the station after 13:00 👉 It takes more than an hour just to enter the building
  • Yes, there it was. This was the most difficult pattern. By the time we reached the West Hall, our HP was at zero and the circle had already withdrawn, which was an inevitable depressing turn of events.
• Arrived at the station around 14:00 👉 Miraculous "almost zero waiting time" activated!?
  • "I was able to get in without having to wait in line" - are you serious?! Apparently there was a time when I was able to get in easily, as if the hell I'd experienced earlier was a lie. Is this the devil of Comiket?
• Around 14:00, waiting in line 👉 The line is long but...it's moving!!
  • The line is so long it makes you laugh, but there's also hope that "it's moving so maybe I can get in." Not yet, it's not over yet!!

💡 Tips for tomorrow (Day 2): Don't be dependent on others, come in the morning!!

Here's the optimal solution for Day 2, based on the lessons learned from Day 1:

"If there's something you want, be there by 10am even if you get an afternoon ticket!!!"

• For those who want to enter before 13pm:
  • at the latest10:00 ~ 10:30You should line up for.
• The guys who arrived after 12:00:
  • Admission is13:30 - 14:00 onwardsBe prepared to risk it selling out? ...Don't, that story works for me.
• Fitment:
  • The waiting time is longer than expected. It's best to prepare cold weather gear and food in excess!

Tomorrow is forecast to be colder than today. Let's throw away the illusion that "it's easier if we go slower" and act early to survive on the battlefield!!!

If you line up for afternoon admission around 9am, the line starts at Yume no Ohashi Bridge.
It's easiest to get off at Tokyo Teleport or Aomi.

The line starts moving at 10:00, so if you need to leave to go to the restroom or something, make sure you return before 10:00.
Big Sight sideThe toilets are extremely crowdedSo be careful with time management.

Here's a quick report on C107!

[C107 Detailed Report] Waiting lines and entry times for the first day of Winter Comiket revealed! A comprehensive summary of companies and cosplay [Comic Market 107]

What kind of event is Winter Comiket 2025 (C107)?

First, let's clarify the premise.
Comic Market (Comiket) is the world's largest doujinshi sales event, which began in 1975. It is held twice a year, in summer and winter, at Tokyo Big Sight.

• "Circles," whether professional or amateur, distribute their own doujinshi, games, music, and merchandise.
• General participants "travel around the islands of their favorite genres and buy as much as they want"
• In the cosplay area, you can see the fierce costumes of the fierce cosplayers

This year's C107 falls in the middle of Comiket's 50th anniversary, so a large amount of commemorative goods and limited edition logo items are expected to be released.

⚠️ The "especially amazing" changes at this year's Winter Comiket C107

East Halls 1-3 are currently under construction
This is the biggest change to the C107.

East Halls 1-3 are currently undergoing major renovations and are completely unusable. As a result, the only areas available for Comiket are East Halls 4-8, West Hall, South Hall, and the Conference Building.

• Genres that were usually in East 1-3 have moved to West and South
• The number of holes will be reduced, making travel between the east and southwest more congested.
• Toilets and rest areas on East 1 to 3 sides will be closed.

The idea that "If we just go east, we'll be fine" is becoming less and less understood.
Be sure to check the genre placement in the official catalog and online catalog.

"Real" waiting times in queues and recommended arrival times

The official guideline is "no staying up all night or arriving before the first train," but beginners are most concerned about how long they'll have to wait. We've put together a rough guideline below.

💡 Advice for Beginners
If you're thinking, "I want to enjoy the atmosphere" or "My favorite group will probably still be there in the afternoon,"Afternoon admission after 13:00It's best to come slowly. You'll use up less physical and mental energy, and it's much easier to walk around the venue.

However, it is currently difficult to enter without having to wait in line in the afternoon, as was the case before.

Comiket is 9% preparation! Advance preparations

1. Ticket and identification documents

Please be sure to bring your ticket and wristband with you on the day of the event. If you lose your ticket, it will not be reissued.
You may also be asked to prove your identity, so please bring your ID with you.

2. Create a "circular route" using catalogs and web catalogs

The catalog is a guide to help you avoid getting lost in the vast venue.

• Print catalogue: A thick telephone book for those who want one as a keepsake.
• Web Catalog: Online version available for smartphones and PCs.

>> Click here for Comiket Web Catalog

The best strategy is to add the circles you're interested in to your favorites, print out a PDF of the checklist, and carry it with you on paper.

3. Prepare your budget and finances

Circle is not a cash register, so we cannot provide large amounts of change.
Try to avoid using 10,000 yen bills as much as possible, and prepare plenty of 1,000 yen bills, 500 yen coins, and 100 yen coins.

4. Keep the venue map in mind

East 1 to 3 of C107 are currently under construction and cannot be used, so the flow of traffic is more complicated than usual.
If you check in advance which hall and which floor the genre you are going to is in, you can significantly reduce the amount of travel time you waste.

Important information about access to the venue and transportation

The train route is recommended.

• Rinkai Line: Approximately 7 minutes on foot from "Kokusai-tenjijo" station
• Yurikamome: About a 3-minute walk from Tokyo Big Sight Station

⚠️ Trap for BRT users
The Tokyo BRT stops at the International Exhibition Center Station Rotary, but not at the Big Sight Conference Tower 1st Floor Central Terminal. Be careful, as you may find yourself wondering "where is this?"

⚠️ Avoid taxis as much as possible
Officials are strongly urging people to "avoid coming by taxi as much as possible," as it is causing traffic congestion. Buses and pedestrians are also jammed, and everyone is facing a difficult future, so let's use the train.

Winter Comiket packing list and serious cold weather precautions

The biggest enemies at Winter Comiket are the cold and the heat of the people.
The outdoor waiting line is an extremely cold zone with the sea breeze blowing in, but inside it's like a sauna filled with people wearing heat tech.

The Three Sacred Treasures That Should Never Be Forgotten

• Wristband-type participation certificate/ticket
• cash(1,000 yen bills + 500 yen coins + lots of 100 yen coins)
• Smartphone + large-capacity mobile battery(1 mAh or more recommended)

Cold weather items and clothing tips

The trick to dressing well is to wear layers so that you can take them off quickly once you get indoors.

• Disposable hand warmers: Wear the adhesive type on your waist and the non-adhesive type in your pocket.
• Folding chair: Sitting directly on concrete can quickly lower your body temperature.
• Hot drinks: Vending machines tend to sell out or have long lines, so it's best to bring your own water bottle.
• Accessories: Protect your neck, wrists, and ankles with a scarf, gloves, and knit cap.

Super important points of cosplay participation rules

Cosplaying is a lot of fun, but the rules are pretty strict. Here are some points that beginners in particular tend to overlook.

Changing clothes outside of the changing room is strictly prohibited

Bringing clothes from home, changing in the car, changing in the bathroom - all of these are a no-no.
The golden rule is to make sure you register as a cosplayer and then change in the designated changing room.

Cosplay registration and "change"

• Registration fee: 1 yen a day
• place: Entrance to the men's and women's changing rooms in the conference building
• certificate: When you register, you will receive a "Cosplay Registration Certificate (Change)." Please note that if you lose it, you will have to re-register.

Handling of long and weapon-type items

Obviously, anything that violates the Swords and Firearms Control Law is not allowed. Even if you have a replica sword or long weapon, safety should be your number one priority, so when you travel, put it in a bag or pouch or carry it disassembled.

Comiket Q&A: Things you can't ask now

Q. What time is best for beginners to go?
A. If your favorite group is super popular, you have no choice but to go all out and get in early or get in early in the morning.
If you want to relax and enjoy the atmosphere,Afternoon entry: 12:30-13:00is best.

Q. Will I stand out if I participate alone?
A. No problem at all. In fact, it's easier and more comfortable to move around alone.

Q. I'd like to see some cosplay too?
A. Typical areas include the outside of East Hall 8, the rooftop exhibition area, and parts of West Hall 4. If you want to take photos, be sure to ask permission from the person in question.
