Every summer, SF convention is held at somewhere of Japan.
The convention has nickname; generaly it was composed by the site and "con" (omitted convention).
At Japan SF convention, some newspapers ia issued.

Timely Times JIKAN SHINBUN	Issued by Timely Times (Private) Company. The member (40..50) was advertised on the convention day. Completed newspaper collection (it is very difficult to collect completely) is payed as wages. First issue was at TOKON-8 (1982, Tokyo). The eldest paper Members wear yellow T-shirt or yellow Happi (Japanese traditional festival wear).
Journal d' Heure JIKANHOU	Published by me only (or personal paper). I do for the fun. As peculiarity, every number has guests comments. Since 1987, it was filtered into SF fan with over 10 years. Only Homepage holder. I wear violet Happi with white "Hour" on back.
Daily SF NIKKAN SF	Start at 1997. Few members do cover, edit, print and distribute. It is not issued envery year. They wear pink Happi.

After 1996, Papers uploaded
1987 URACON' 87 [Yamanaka Spa /Ishikawa]		7	Glorious first issue. (At after staying) The motive was a only joke (parody of Timely Times). Title logo is by free hand because no preparation.
1988 MIGCON [Minakami Spa /Gunma]		7	Personally I was surprised the second year. I had no prospect to continue. At the beginning, I was planning to publish at pre and after staying only. But...
