 Karaoke
For those who just couldn't put themselves to bed late Saturday night after
the Masquerade and didn't want to be stuck watching a television screen, the
Karaoke event was available for those willing to stretch their vocal chords
out and perform for their fellow attendees. Perennial favorites like "Konya
wa Hurricane" (from BUBBLEGUM CRISIS) were pounded
out while recent additions, like "Cruel Angel's Thesis" (the opening
to NEON GENESIS EVANGELION) were also part of the
collective wailing—er singing. An impromptu appearance and subsequent
performance by Guest of Honor Akira Kamiya, however, added that special touch
that will make this year's Karaoke event unforgettable to all who were there.

Exhibit Hall
Spend! Spend! Spend! Filled with everything from LD box sets to little
trinkets like key chains, the Dealer rooms and the participating dealers from
across the country provided AX '97 attendees with the opportunity to pick up
everything anime-related that their heart desired. This year, due to the large
amount of dealers requesting tables, the dealer's room had to be expanded to
include additional space.
