On Dec. 23-24, the Winter Radio Kaikan Festival 2012 was held at the iconic Radio Kaikan building in Akihabara. The event featured card game competitions, voice actor talk shows, goods for sale, a special live event, and more.
Outside the main entrance to the Winter Radio Kaikan Festival 2012 in the UDX Akiba Square, a huge event took place that had the whole town bustling like a theme park. Santa Claus was hiding somewhere in Akiba, and whoever found him would get a special present. Everyone was looking high and low for St. Nick; even those who rarely visit Akiba were taking up the challenge.
