MAKE: Tokyo Meeting 02 was held on 11/8 at Tokyo’s Tama Art University, and the MAKE: Japan events just keep getting bigger, better, and wonderfully wilder. Here are a few highlights gleaned from the massive influx of pictures, video, and bloggings that this event inspired.
Here’s a video featuring four particularly awesome things from the meeting:

Like the U.S. Maker Faires, this one was also fun for the whole family:
A young man controls an RC car with an iPhone accelerometer
A legion of green onion-waving Hatsune Miku‘s from the Niko-Niko Engineering Dept.’s Onion-waving Team. Don’t understand the leek-waving phenomenon? <- Check the link.
And why not get her to play the drums too?
Or ride a bike, while twenty people take pictures:

There was a speedcabling competition. The winner studied other speedcabling videos in preparation for this event, and as you can see, it paid off.
Also on display: a 3D camera mounted on a UMPC
KuruKuruKart, a cart that’s controlled by a Wii remote. Web
MTM also had a performance portion, that included tech-creative guests such as RedFrik as well as Craftwife, the iPhone-controlled SuperCollider Kraftwerk tribute performed.
Video recording of her live performances is prohibited, so we are left with this:

Here’s a great video overview of MTM 02, complete with some rocking Tesla coils.
