Komaeda

I drew Komaeda's head from Danganronpa I like this. I did it last year, but I want it here. :3

Mikuo Cosplay cont. 2

With MCM closing in, a cosplay is needed for me to survive the weekend of excitement. October, I chose to cosplay as Nagisa Shiota from Assassination Classroom, but this time I have decided to continue the work of my Hatsune Mikuo cosplay, and results are looking good!

The sleeves have been the star of a previous post, though since have been subjected to updating. All in all though, these could be scrapped and redone in a black material. If I decide to keep the grey sleeves, I shall purchase some hair ties and sew them into the sleeves, so they stay on my arms without any fuss.








The tie is my pride and joy. Buying the exact tie, or one of the same ilk would have been far to expensive, costing up to a fifth of my budget - which would only leave two fifths after the cost of my wig. So instead of paying for the tie, I decided to purchase ribbon, costing less than a cup of coffee. I found my old school tie - not used for school since 2013, so five years ago - and I transformed it into a homemade Hatsune Miku tie.





Magnet headphone accessories are nicely coming along, alike the sleeves, these have been a creation left to rot until now. I've now finished the model itself, and then covered it in glue and newspaper. All that's left to do it paint it, put the pink colour in it, which I'll do by using pink thread, and then lastly attach it to my headphones. An optional, is to buy a cheap headset (A poundland jobby)and take the microphone off it and attach it also.





The "VOCALOID" emblem is the bitter pain of this, I have chosen the hard route and have decided to hand sew the design onto a piece of scrap curtain. The finished product will then be sewn onto my shirt pocket. The design was to my own design, as the original yellow stripe is plain, with the word "VOCALOID" written underneath. I don't want to be directly sewing into my shirt, so I adapted the design to fit me, and since I had a little room, I added some sound bars which will be coloured pink.





Hehe, I've been looking forward to talking about this bit. This idea grew to me only yesterday, I don't know why I didn't think before to create my very own leak. Unlike my magnet accessories, this has no cardboard whatsoever. it's made of drawing paper, fixed together with glue and newspaper. Since that photo, adjustments have been made, the two bits at the end have been moulded to be closer together. And it's entirely ready for painting.





Lastly, this image of me is supporting various bits I have made in their current form, it was mostly so I new if I was starting to look like a male Miku. I know I said that I'm still to get the wig, and that is true, the wig I'm using is my Nagisa wig from last year.

I am looking forward to seeing my cosplay progress over the next few weeks, and to see it done will be a dream. I shall be getting the wig at the end of the month, so I'm glad about that. :3

Why is it called 'the bees and the birds'? Surely it should be called 'the cats and the chickens'.

VanaN'Ice Last Color Album: Review

I would spend two thousand yen just for LOVELESSxxx on its own.

KAITO [Blue] Len [Blonde] Gakupo [Purple]

5/5 Stars

As one who seemingly avoids love songs, thoroughly enjoying a whole album about love really takes the cake. Last Color takes love songs onto a whole new level. Forbidden love. As one who reads and translates Japanese, it is easy for me to pick out the various heart-breaking meanings, it is much harder for someone who doesn't understand Japanese - though they have sub for that. My favourite song is "LOVELESSxxx" which is about two men who are protectors of boy, but they have to hide their love. Rather the Romeo and Juliet kind of play - ugh, I detest Romeo and Juliet. I remember listening to "LOVELESSxxx" for the first time, and as much as it hurts for a man to admit it, I cried when finding out the Kagmine Len had killed himself to allow KAITO and Camui Gakupo to love each other freely. Shakespeare, take some notes here and rewrite Romeo and Juliet. I'm not kidding, I thought my body was going to turn to ash within in Personal Finance lesson back in 2014. My second favourite song is the fourth track, "The Lost Memory, The Immoral Memory". As I said before, I translate and this was the first song from VanaN'Ice that I had crafted an English version, here is the first line. "Dyed into sepia, a scene I can see, so confusing. I wish to return." Just from that, it shows it's going to be a heart-breaking song. Just from Gakupo saying he saw something that he wished he didn't want to. "As I gaze upon the sky, I see an afternoon filled with my grief. I just can't take it." Is what KAITO follows Gakupo with and if that isn't a stab to the heart, I don't know what is. It's like watching the fan animations of Servant of Evil by Mothy. 

If you love listening to heart-wrenching songs in Japanese, please, you have to listen to the album. OR you can support Seven Color Light by buy the 2012 album for only ￥2,000. Hell, I would spend two thousand yen just for LOVELESSxxx on its own.
