Weekly Blog Parts: AU Fan Meeting

A little late on the Weekly Blog Parts, I know, but it’s time for the next AU Fan Meeting! KDDI’s AU mobile provider does this event online, where users register ahead of time, choose a character, and then all meet together at the agreed time at the AU Fan website. In this case, it’s June 3rd, 2008 at noon, Tokyo time.

New products, collaborations, and other news are given at the Fan Meeting first, giving online users unique connection to the brand. Kind of like debuting a new handset in Second Life, but in a much more practical way that resonates with more casual PC users. Above are the countdown blog parts you get when you register, and you can click on them to play three mini-games on the browser.
