[Salter cosplay] Fate/Grand Order x Sony collaboration Store Visit: Testing Out New Gear

The setup for this offline Sony collaboration with Fate/Grand Order was genuinely impressive. Walking into the store, you are immediately greeted by rich Fate/Grand Order elements everywhere: chibi character displays of the five main characters around the floor and showcases, themed decorations across the central island counter and live-streaming experience zone, and a dedicated chibi photo booth on the third floor providing a complete photography setup. Completing on-site check-in tasks gave visitors a free entry into the co-branded merchandise draw, with exclusive badges, card sleeves, and other collectibles on display, creating an engaging atmosphere.

I specifically put on a Salter cosplay for this event, wearing a deep blue dress with black sleeves and black stockings (Black stockings cosplay). The character fidelity was spot-on, and fellow fans recognized me shortly after I arrived. The interaction on-site was lively, with many fans coming over for photos. Someone even jokingly asked if I was here looking for my missing ahoge.

While there, I also tested out the featured collaboration products. The noise-canceling performance of the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones was truly exceptional in practice—activating noise cancellation instantly filtered out the ambient chatter of the crowd, allowing me to dive straight into my own audio world. For photography, we tested the ZV-E10M2 Sony mirrorless camera; its Creative Look modes were super convenient with appealing out-of-camera colors, and the compact body easily fit into a pocket. In fact, this set of event photos was captured by the photographer using this exact Sony mirrorless camera.

All the character standees and photo backdrops throughout the venue were perfect for snapping shots, especially the chibi booth and the key visual along the staircase. The entire Sony collaboration was packed with rich elements, making it well worth a visit for Fate fans or anyone eager to try out noise-canceling headphones. All on-site activities and displays went smoothly, making this store visit thoroughly fulfilling in terms of both photography and fan interaction.
