3 Figure Giveaway - 3 Winners

Have a look at the screenshot of the timestamp of the photo - 19:00pm.

If you took the hints and done a search in Japanese Google then you would have come up with the following results.
Japanese ability was not required but just copy pasting of the characters from round two.
Through the search results, you would have seen that the rainbow was out about 7PM. Was still a bit of guessing involved though.

Would be interesting to hear how and why you all guessed what you did.

Now, I'm going to leave it to the three winners to sort out who gets what:-
1 1/8 Louise Gothic and Punk Ver. PVC http://www.hlj.com/product/ALT20208
1 Variable Motion Figure Reina http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT34590
1 1/7 Reco PVC http://www.hlj.com/product/MAX04115
Thanks to comrades at HobbyLink Japan!
Once you've decided amongst yourselves (use the comments) then mail me at [support at dannychoo dot com] and I will arrange for your goodies to be sent to you.

Now to announce winners of the 1070 USD...
Hmmm. Looks like more sponsors want to give you figures.

        You got that right. The only way I got my answer was not by Google at all like Danny said.
        Since it looked liked the evening sky I went for past 6pm.
        I took "ichi" from Nichiyoubi(Sunday) & "kyu" from Toukyou(Tokyo) to be "1"&"9".
        Then just assumed "niji" as 2 o'clock. So 19:02... =P

                O_O Holy crap, you're right! I'd completely forgotten about the calendar!

                So he's the first to 2...and the first to 3. x_x That's pretty much an insurmontable lead. XD

      Oh, on how i guessed it, the date was 19th. so it's probably 19:XX.
      I was pretty sure cos judging from the sun light, it must have been golden/magic hour.
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_hour_(photography)

      And niji (rainbow) + nichiyoubi (Sunday) had "Ni" in it which means 2. so 2 had to go in somewhere, thus concluded with 19:02.

      A little experience in photography and Japanese helped :) I'm also a proud owner of the amazing Lumix LX3 ^^

      As to how I guessed it, I just searched "tokyo 7pm" on dc.com
      As for the 02, (ID #4570) <- 4+5-7 = 2.
      LOL!

        Just joking, to be honest I don't even know how I reached to that 02.

        Another thing to add on if the prizes are given on a first come first serve basis, I'll be only left with Reina since I'm the last to post.
