"From the Beginning Beyond the Future" is the theme of "Gundam Expo Thailand 2009", which will be held from October 21-25 in the Fashion Hall of Siam Paragon to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the animated series this year.One of the event's highlights will be the six-metre fibreglass representation of the upper body of Gundam RX-78-2.The expo will be divided into many different zones, featuring the history of the Gundam franchise in Thailand as well as in Japan dating back to its beginning in 1979; a visual zone featuring images from the Gundam animated series; a music zone featuring the signature and signing-off Gundam songs over the past 30 years;a lifestyle zone highlighting a wide range of Gundam products under the concept of a dream "Gundam bedroom"; and a not-to-be-missed shopping zone where Gundam model kits, DVDs and limited-edition goods will be available.At the event Kunio Okawara, Gundam's mechanical designer and one of the three creators of Gundam, will be giving a talk on his work, and Mark Bakuc, an expert in model assembly and modification, will be conducting a tutorial workshop. Other activities include a Gundam cosplay (a term of Japanese origin and short for "costume role play") competition and a Gundam karaoke singing contest.
