Life Sized Sonico Zealously Guarded by Manager Kitamura

With Nitroplus music spokescharacter Super Sonico starring in her own anime this season, the company brought their life sized statue of the busty headphone affixed singer/student/model to this weekend's Winter Wonder Festival. They encouraged fans to enjoy taking pictures with Sonico. However, they also warned photographers that Manager Kitamura had forbids inappropriate shots, especially low angle pics, and that rule breakers would be dealt with harshly!
