All the companions in their colorful outfits gathered at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2022, held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba from January 14-16, 2010. For the first time in two years, the Auto Salon was held in real life, but the number of staff at the booths was reduced to prevent the spread of Covid-19, and visitors were required to register in advance. Even so, a total of 366 companies exhibited and over 120,000 people visited the event over the three days.
This year, however, many of the costumes were a little more conservative, and most of the women stood in booths wearing masks. Perhaps this was a reflection of the mood of the Covid-19 disaster. Even so, once the companions appeared on the stage, ordinary photographers rushed to the booth.
The Auto Salon used to be a festival for custom cars, but in recent years the booths of large corporations have also attracted attention. Prototypes of Nissan’s new “Fairlady Z” and Honda’s “Civic Type R” were on display, and people lined up to see them despite the limited entry.
The “sunny stage” for cars and beautiful women has also been changing with the Covid-19 disaster.
