Sakura Con 2002 held an absolutely stylish Masquerade ceremony with a large number of skit performances and presentations.  Most of the outstanding skit presentations were so well done and very funny and that made it difficult for the judges to pick out the favorites because they were all really good!  Intermission time gave audience the rare chance to see the latest Sakura Taisen OAV before it comes out on video.
