Exclusive 'Like Dragon' 20th Anniversary Exhibition: Dream Wedding with Dojima Ryoma
The gaming world is buzzing with excitement as the Like Dragon series celebrates its 20th anniversary with a truly spectacular event. This isn't just another standard exhibition; it's a unique celebration that blends nostalgia with cutting-edge technology, offering fans an unforgettable experience.
#One of the standout features of this anniversary celebration is the "" (wedding ceremony) themed (section). For years, fans have dreamed of marrying their favorite characters from the series, and this exhibition makes that dream a reality. According to an announcement on the Like Dragon Studio's official YouTube channel, the exhibition features towering 11-foot tall life-sized statues of beloved characters, including the iconic (Devil May Cry's Kiryu Ichiban), (Mamako Watanabe as Sawamura Goro), and (Takayuki Yagami).
The centerpiece of the wedding experience is a beautifully designed hall that resembles a traditional Japanese wedding shrine. This isn't just about looking pretty, though. The exhibition has dedicated photography areas where fans can capture memories with their favorite characters. It's the perfect spot to recreate your dream wedding, complete with all the trappings of a grand nuptial ceremony.
#What makes this experience even more special is the integration of modern technology. Like Dragon Studio has developed a dedicated mobile application that allows visitors to create and customize AR (augmented reality) photos with their favorite characters. This isn't just a simple filter, though. The app features newly designed character illustrations specifically for this exhibition, allowing fans to personalize their digital wedding moments in creative ways.
The highlight, however, is the "コース" (Special Wedding Ceremony Experience Course) priced at 150,000 yen (approximately $980 USD). This exclusive package isn't just about taking photos - it's a complete immersive experience. For a limited time, only 15 lucky fans will get the chance to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The package includes a private ceremony space, professional hairstylist and makeup artists, and a dedicated photographer. Participants can choose to wear traditional wedding attire - either a Western-style (wedding dress) or a Japanese-style kimono. The experience allows you to bring your "bride or groom" (your choice of character) to life in a real wedding ceremony, with the option to invite up to 10 friends and family members to share in the celebration.
After the ceremony, participants receive a commemorative marriage certificate and, interestingly enough, a divorce agreement as well - though it's important to note that these documents are not legally binding.
#This remarkable exhibition is set to run from November 28th to December 22nd in Tokyo, and then will move to Osaka from February 6th to February 24th of next year. For fans who couldn't make it during the Tokyo leg, there's still a chance to experience this unique celebration in Osaka.
For those unable to attend, there's still plenty to look forward to. The exhibition as a whole represents Like Dragon Studio's commitment to honoring its fans while embracing innovation. It's a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern technology that captures the essence of what makes the Like Dragon series so special.
Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the series, this anniversary exhibition offers something for everyone. It's not just a celebration of 20 years of gaming, but a testament to the enduring appeal and imagination that has kept the Like Dragon series alive and thriving for two decades.
