Mafuyu(^q^)/:First of all, thank you so much to ALL for joining us!

 

 

Mafuyu(^q^)/:It was the vol.2 contest and the theme was a little hard to understand, and also we didn’t give you enough time until the deadline, right? Despite all that, I was so happy that so many people made their own Ita-Bags for us! All of our members at Goods Republic really appreciate your participation!

 

Mafuyu(^q^)/:So! For the judgement of this contest…. Each of us, (  'ω') Boss, (´_ゝ`) Aoi, Saori(人´∀`) and I (Mafuyu) selected the lovely ones!!

 

Mafuyu(^q^)/:Since each of us has our own preference, we didn’t rank them! They are all lovely Ita-Bags with so many originalities! Alright, let’s get started!

 

 

(  'ω') Boss Award

☆Youngnozomi-San’s Pandora Hearts Tea Party Ita-Bag.!

 

 

Comment:

Pandora Hearts Tea Party Ita-Bag. When I hear party my mind goes to tea parties! Pandora Hearts is my favorite manga and there is a beautiful tea party scene in one of the chapters. There are eight rubber straps, three charms, and one postcard for the official items (twelve total). To decorate I added flower stickers to the bow, LED lights, and fuzzy poms. In the second picture I turned on the LED lights and placed two monaka cookies as well as two Japanese tea cups. The character straps and postcard also have the characters having a tea party. The poms the side are meant to look like balloons while the ones up top are hanging  festive colored lanterns. I added the pink sprinkle background insert as decoration as well.

 

(  'ω') A Comment from Boss

Focusing on the theme, “PARTY”, I can really feel the atmosphere where Pandora Hearts’ characters are enjoying partying!!

Plus, I’ve never seen such a shiny Ita-Bag with LED light as this so it’s so fresh to me!

Among all those entries, this one just stood out!

 

 

(´_ゝ`) Aoi Award

☆Enma-San’s Miyuki's birthday Ita-Bag!!

 

 

Comment:

Miyuki's birthday isn't actually until November but no reason we cant hold a party for him a little bit early, right?

 

(´_`) A Comment from Aoi

All the goods and the huge ribbons are so cute, celebrating Miyuki Kazuya’s birthday! Not only is Enma-San celebrating Miyuki’s birthday but we can also see the whole celebrating atmosphere by all the goods of Seido members, which I thought was so lovely!

 

 

(^q^)/ Mafuyu Award

☆Winnie-San’s The Absolute Itabag!

 

 

Comment:

Since Akashi-kun is "absolute," this is dedicated to his regal persona. This bag celebrates Akashi-kun throughout his days in Teiko, Rakuzan, and Vorpal Swords In the picture, it looks like Akashi-kun is wearing the bag like a shirt 😂 Hope you enjoy it ❤

 

(^q^)/A Comment from Mafuyu

I think it’s such a gorgeous bag with a big party hat, expressing a theme, ‘PARTY’!!

Different types of Akashi-kun are beautifully displayed and what’s special about this bag is a Manju-ornament, wearing a cat costume and a ribbon! It’s so detailed!

Again, this Ita-Bag is excellent, with a base color ‘red’, which perfectly matches with Akashi-kun, also focusing on the theme ‘PARTY’ and expressing characters’ charms!

 

 

Saori(人´∀`) Award

☆annisa & debby-San’s itaba of Nagisa and Rei!!!!

 

 

Comment:

this is our first itaba~ i hope it's kawaii enough XD

we made this on 2015 after Free! Eternal Summer is finished airing..

but we still using this itaba until now to attend all anime festival in our country \(^^*)

 

(人´∀`)A Comment from Saori

First thing! It looks so brilliant! And I really liked the idea that they used the base bag that already had characters images printed on! We’ve shared plain bas bags in the articles so far so it was so fresh and surprising to me!!

Also, two of them make the pair-bags together, which is a great idea! Personally, I chose this one not because of it’s the Ita-Bags but because they’ve got full of nice and fresh ideas! Please continue to bring them to Anime Festivals and share how awesome the Ita-Bags are with all the fans there from now on! Congrats!

 

 

Mafuyu(^q^)/:So, according to our judgments, four works shown above were awarded!! Congratulations!!!

 

Mafuyu(^q^)/:BUT! It was so hard to judge every bag, to tell you the truth… All the Ita-Bags were so lovely, so we picked out some of them as award of excellence!

 

 

☆Hanai Sakura-San’s Ita Bag Happy

 

 

Comment:

A warm and dynamic side

 

 

☆Alia-San’s Masato Itaba

 

 

Comment:

This is my first itaba.. my elder sisters have their itaba(s) already from years ago.. I just created this one when I went to Japan this year to watch Masato!! I was using this itaba for going to Utapuri concert in Saitama. Is it good enough for beginner? LOL

 

 

☆Epika-San’s Pikachu Ita-Bag

 

 

Comment:

I never thought I would make an itabag with Pikachu, but I was proven wrong when I saw this contest. I'm an avid Pikachu collector and just choosing a certain theme for Pikachu is just trying to find a needle in a haystack. Once the movie 20 promotion paved way, a friend gave me the idea to create this theme - A Satoshi's Pikachu itabag. Satoshi and Pikachu have gone through many regions in their journey and seeing the hats really makes you think and wonder how long and how far they've gone. Those hats represent a different path taken throughout their long journey with one another. Satoshi's Pikachu sparked my love for Pikachu back in 1998 so making this itabag, really made me happy to be able to express this love.

 

 

☆Miku-Sam’s Yuuri!!! Ita-bag!

 

 

Comment:

Let's celebrate my first pilgrimage Anime from  Yuri on Ice . Karatsu is a nice place, they know well whats inside my Ita-Bag. I call this Itabag, "tadaima" because I feel like I'm home when I use this ^o^

 

 

☆Mary-San’s Nagisa Ita-Bag!

 

 

Comment:

"Nagisa from Free! is always the life of the party no matter what world he's in. For this ita bag, I only used items showing him from the Splash Free ending credits -- a lot of these were bought from Otaku Republic, back before Goods Republic started, or from the Kyoani shop. The gold and blue bracelet is from the Nagisa and Rei Mook set, and the little star full of sand is from a gift shop in Tottori, which is where the town that Iwatobi is based on is located. You can even buy sand shaped into statues of Iwatobi-Chan there!"

 

 

☆Snow-San’s Friendship Party

 

 

Comment:

This is a bag for my lovely Haru where he has all his friends come together to celebrate a special day.   What's special is that even though Haru has a lot of friends, he will always be there for his friends, either for Makoto or for Rin! Free! is my favorite series!  There are a lot of people that ask me who I like Haru to be closer to.  My answer is everyone! I love Rin and Haru and I like Makoto and Haru.  They are his lovely friends that will be there for him in happy days and bad days.  These friends will always be there supporting him! The majority of the charms show Haru is celebrating his birthday.   It is a very special day for Haru!

What is special about the bag is I keep the advertisement of chibi Haru in the back.  It's too cute and very big!!!  It emphasizes how cute Haru is and when I walk outside, everyone can see his big face!! Yay Haru.

Also I really like rubber charms so that's why a majority are rubber straps.  :)

 

 

Kelly-San’s Yuri Party

 

 

Comment:

A party made for Victor. A harem of Yuris.

Comment:Nothing extra on the bag because it was handmade from scratch by me. Both the ita-bag base and the ita-bag cover were handmade. Putting accessories on it would cover up the base which I'm proud of making.

 

 

Mafuyu(^q^)/:We clearly can see the contestants’ loves and originalities toward their loving Chara, by seeing how they selected the color of the base, how they displayed the items and how they took the pictures!

 

Phew~, it was super hard to choose though… We were so surprised to see all the differences even though they made the Ita-Bags with the same Chara or genres!

 

 

Again, congratulations to those who got awarded! We all loved your passionate comments and lovely Ita-Bags so much!!!!!!!

 

 

Mafuyu(^q^)/:To everybody who joined this contest, we’ll give away participation awards by 29th so please check out your email!

 

Mafuyu(^q^)/:I’d already seen so many Ita-Bags which Japanese anime fans made but it was a very first time for us to see the ones that the anime fans overseas made, which was so fun to see since they were full of nice and fresh ideas…!!

 

Mafuyu(^q^)/:If we have another chance, we’ll definitely hold this contest again! Those who didn’t join it this time, why don’t you join us next time?

 

Alright then, have a lovely Ita-Bag life!!

 

Bye~!!
