How do you say "failure' in Japanese?

I'm pretty sure those are Sony's vaguely Symbionese Liberation Army looking race queens on the bottom pic...They don't have slight slutty vibe MS's race queens had during the xbox1 era, which was heavy on black leather, vinyl, and hot pants....Although I think MS has lighten up for the 360 era with slight less slutty looking race queens in mostly white outfits. Sony usually goes fairly deumure and classy while Capcom usually takes the cake for most unusual looking outfits, such as this little ditty with a wrap around zipper and dazzle paint style stockings from 2001's TGS

Yep, my bad, That photo above was the sad SONY Symbionese Liberation Army, and not Microsoft's troop of white cowgirl boots-made-for-walking.

I have not considered failure, but I wouldn't really take it as a personal insult, if any one of those babes told me I was a failure on our way out of the love hotel!

It is also worth noting that, unlike most of the other J game companies, where all the race queens wear the same outfit, MS, in a very trading figure like move, has usually has several different race queen variants at each TGS...usually a few signature ones that spend their time on a stage, Xbox Live ones, and then general ones around the booth handing out materials and helping out at the game demo units.

The Capcom uniforms look like they were designed with bukkake in mind.

Marvin already pointed us towards the Mainichi galleries. Danny Choo has just put up some of his pictures of the booth girls in his series of this year's show. He mentioned in an earlier entry that it was very dark inside the hall, even on the press day, and he wondered if that was to discourage unofficial photography.

"Dark" ain't the word. Gloomy" better describes the original "sad SONY Symbionese Liberation Army" photo before I "dodged" the hell out of it in Photoshop.

Crappy small original


After Photoshop


(Damn, I do good work within my self-imposed 5-minute time limit for a photo, and almost never post a photo on the FG until I enhance it, hee, hee.)

While I wasn't at this year's show, I've been to quite a few of them in the past and the lighting in the second main building (halls 4,5,6) where's Sony's Booth is located (and notably where MS's isn't....I think they have always kept those two apart in separate buildings), has often been quite dark. I don't know if this is by choice of TGS or a lack of lighting in that specific building but outside the direct lights of booths, its pretty much dusk like lighting conditions in that building. The first main hall (halls 1,2,3) has been fairly dark some years but also fairly bright on others...during one of the "bright" years they had the sales area and board/card game area in the first hall, which would need good lighting. This year those areas (I don't know if they had board game area this year) were moved into the third hall, which was previously a kids gaming zone and "quiet" stage area, where you could actually hear what was being said on the main stage vs the general jet-engine-on-idle noise level of the other two halls. As a result of this move, both halls might have been fairly dark compared to previous years.
