It's been ten years and we're still craving more and more! The Japan Touch Haru & Geek Touch is celebrating its tenth anniversary, and just like any good birthday bash, Lyon is set to transform into the headquarters of geek and Asian culture for two bustling days. The event is back on May 17 and 18 at Eurexpo, bringing along over 370 exhibitors, a 2,000 m² gaming area, concerts, top-notch cosplayers, live dubbing, and even a 100% BTS dedicated space. Let’s just say you’ll need a good dose of energy (and maybe a mana potion) to catch it all!
For thrill-seekers, the Haru Games is definitely going to make waves: an immersive life-sized event inspired by Squid Game, featuring physical and mental challenges based on the series, all in a 150 m² space. What’s at stake? A pass for the next edition! And if you’ve always dreamed of wandering through the world of your favorite mangas...
The augmented reality experience offered by Shotam promises a delightful little geeky adrenaline rush that we all love.See this post on Instagram
Want some prestigious guests? Here they are!
Sound fans are in for a treat with pop-rock live performances, an Arcane show, and even body painting in an artsy performance mode, while the cosplay scene will be buzzing with contests, parades, and more!cute; studio photo and guest stars like Taryn or Aetelier. We'll also meet the iconic voices from pop culture, from Squid Game to One Piece, coming to connect with their fans in a relaxed but super festive atmosphere.
And for genre film lovers, Dracula, Tim Burton, and Dragon Ball will each have their own XXL exhibitions, while the Creator Village will break all records with 300 stands. It's beautiful, it's packed, it's incredibly generous: 95% of the activities are included in the entry ticket, proving that this convention truly understands its community. In short, Eurexpo is giving us this weekend a total immersion in a multiverse where anything is possible, as long as you bring a little passion… and a great cosplay.
