Good Will Nagoya - The Lost Village Exhibition

While checking out Nagoya I stumbled upon a The Lost Village exhibition in the computer store Good Will Nagoya (Not to be confused with the American company Goodwill), so I took some pictures.



There were lots of signs for the exhibition.




The exhibition area.




Small cutouts of some of the characters hanging from the roof.




This monitor showed various animatics from the show.




There were lots of keyframe drawings on display of course.












Character model sheets.






Item model sheets.




Color model sheets and shots from the show.




Background art and building layouts.




Shots from the OP.




Chibi character art and an ad for The Lost Village Line stickers.




They also had a table with various production material which, unlike a lot of other exhibitions I've been to, you were allowed to take pictures of.




On the table there were storyboards.




Scripts.




Keyframe flip books.






And a guestbook.




I didn't sign this one since I hadn't watched the show though.




They also had a cabinet with various goods on display.




And a bunch of goods for sale.




Including t-shirts and keychains.



No location map since it's no longer there.

This location was visited on 2016/10/13.

Sound! Euphonium - Nagoya Congress Center

In the first Sound! Euphonium OP there's a shot of Nagoya Congress Center, so I went to the nearby Nishi Takakura Subway Station and had a look.

This statue of Francesco Sforza is standing outside the Congress Center.

In addition to the Nishi Takakura Subway Station you can also walk here from Hibino Subway Station.




Image from S2E12 - 17m08s


This place is also where the nationals are held in episode 12 of season 2 which hadn't aired yet when I was here.




Image from S2E12 - 19m15s


I tried getting as many shots as possible while here, and hoped some of them would match if they showed this place in season 2 though.




Image from S2E12 - 06m32s


And thankfully they did. This is the reverse angle of the previous shots.

The place where Reina tells Taki about how she feels.




Image from S2E12 - 16m38s


The top of the clock in the background is the same.

Closeup of the statue pedestal.




Image from S2E12 - 19m18s


Lots of benches in front of the statue, just like in the anime.




Image from S2E12 - 19m35s


The doors and the warning note on the pillar are the same.




Image from S2E12 - 12m27s


Inside the Congress Center. I didn't get a close matching shot here, but you can see the same elevator, event hall sign and stairs in the back.




Image from S2E12 - 11m29s


The stairway to the left is the same.




Image from S2E12 - 21m11s


Mamiko riding the escalators next to the main set of stairs.

Locodol - Concert Hall

The last Locodol place I visited in Nagoya was the concert hall where the Nagarekawa Girls performed.



Image from Episode 12 - 03m08s


This place is called Chuden Hall in real life.




Image from Episode 11 - 12m42s


Yukari and Nanako standing outside the hall.




Image from Episode 11 - 12m50s


Buildings on the other side of the road.




Image from Episode 11 - 15m59s


The Nagarekawa Girls waves goodbye to the Awa Awa Girls. If you look to the left in the picture, there's a poster for an event.




It was a poster for the Hokkaido High School of Arts Hokugei Festival.




Image from Episode 11 - 16m06s


Closeup of the Awa Awa Girls.




Image from Episode 11 - 16m09s


And one of the Nagarekawa Girls.




Image from Episode 11 - 19m54s


Close to where the hall is, there's also this shopping mall which is called Sunshine Sakae in real life. This is also where the closest subway station to the hall is located called Sakae Station.




Image from Episode 12 - 00m21s


And finally there's a café that shown in the anime, but it has been closed down in real life. They were setting up a new shop here, so that's why there were white vans outside. I've marked a path between Chuden Hall and this place in the map below.
