Cosday plans

First of all, I have some new pictures of Inori ^^

I also have one shot of Shiemi, but I don’t feel like shooting >_<; So photos will come after I wear it with my group, but you can still see the preview here.

I’m also finally working on a new cover, which is yet again from Guilty Crown. Slowly I get the feeling that I will end up covering every song from that anime. Once The Everlasting will be done only the endings will be left, or was there an insert song I haven’t covered yet? X’D Sadly I still don’t have any videos of my Animuc performance.

As you might have guessed my next Convention will be Cosday (14-15.07). I will be performing there and ALSO have my second try to qualify for DCM X’D After long soul searching I threw my Lizzy (Kuroshitsuji) idea out of the window. I have neither the money nor the time to make that costume the way I want and as neatly as it needs to be for that contest. After going though my fabrics I found that…. I have everything I need for Akemi Homura (Puella Magi Madoka Magica). Adding to that I already have a scripted and halfway recorded skit for her. I have a wig and the lenses and the shoes I will pull over. I have to literary buy only the zippers. X’D Glorious, I love when things work out like that. Thus, my costumes for Cosday are:

homura shiemi2

Shiemi will also be worn on Saturday, but after the contest. My Sunday costume will be decided spontaneously. Maybe if I have time I’ll sew Inori’s departures dress, but well, we’ll see.

That’s it for today’s update~

Post Animuc 2013

As I stressed to finish Inori, I had barely slept for over 2 weeks, which ended up with Animuc being generally a catastrophy. ^^;

To updates first: Media&etc. has been update with the usual stuff.

I was a member of jury for the cosplay catwalk contest at Animuc and it was fun. Actually, it was so much fun, I decided to participate next year X’D I also performed as a showact, but I’m really not happy with me performance. Too little time for lyrics and tired enough to be halfway asleep on stage… that’ really really bad. I still don’t have videos ^^;.

As you know, I participated in a preliminary round of DCM once again with Sakura Hime, obviously I failed :D Everyone had such good costumes and good skits >////< Congratulations to the winners ^^ My skit is a failure as much as almost everything else… Q_Q;;;;;;

This video was filmed by Kite and Diesel. :D Thank you guys, you’re awesome ><

I also have updated my wishlist.

Covers

Posted on by

Since Animuc I have a showact performance and I’m behind my covering schedule for it, it’s high time to post some covers:

Crossing field (Sword Art Online)

All the work and TIME I put into this song and it still sounds like a live???? X’D With weirdass sound? Why do you do this to me? I like this song, but it has tunes that lie directly between the voice types for me and it’s hard to hit them. I almost feel like I’m making an approximation either singing from above or from below to reach it. My higher voice ends just quarter a tune ABOVE the actual one so from below it was… Pain in the ass I tell you X’D Then I hadn’t noticed that I was over the volume limit. yeah…

Sora wa takaku kaze wa utau (Fate/Zero)

I need something slow for the program without background voices. I recorded it using the idiot principle: record and then listen if there is a dissonance with the original, of there is listen to that place closely and resing it, rinse and repeat. It is faster to record but it does nothing to give you the ability to sing it with confidence like when you have learnt the song properly, so I have to shape up on this one for the performance. I actually like it a lot. It’s probably going to be one of the easier songs to sing live.

so, this is it for now. Tales of Graces op is upcoming. Sadly these are the kind of songs I can’t upload to youtube without pitching Q___Q;

 

Back from Polymanga

Posted on by

Hey, there! I’m back from Polymanga. I was there only for 1 day to participate in the Swiss ECG preliminaries with my friend NatsuKita.

Here is our skit, thanks for uploading it Gondolin89.

We obviously were not selected ;D Or else the start oft his entry would have been different.

In general it was fun, very tiring, since we finished NatsuKita’s costume on the location and were dead on our feet since we slept so little, but in general with all the shit and stuff that did not work out? I think it went well enough and I had enough fun. I met some nice people, I slept on the leg of a Pokemon gijinka cosplayer in the backstage hall while watching the other performances :D. Jury was kinda fun, though NatsuKita does not agree. I saw those ultra cute alpaca plushies, but since I had no time to withdraw money before the con, I only had the emergency sum with me and I wasn’t going to waste it on a cutenessoverloaded dust collector, no matter how badly I wanted it. NatsuKita consoled me that I could buy one at Animuc or JAN, the upcoming conventions :’D. I was walking around the merchandise hall with our suitcase and whining like a baby about wanting that darn alpaca plushie Q___Q; Oh and one of the Jury? Staff? Asked us if NatsuKita and I were twins :’D We’re not, but when we wear the same wigs we look  a lot  alike. We already were asked this question when cosplaying Hozuki and Bonbori, so I’m looking forward to Animagic now.

In general we learned that confusing skits are out of question and the simpler and the more action richer the skit (insert sword swinging here, and better yet KOEI costumes) the more chances we’d stand for the ECG :’D We agreed to start sooner on our costumes next year.

To the convention itself? Well, I haven’t seen much of it, but I’ll try to see more next year. In general the location is great, however all the stairs killed us X__X; Especially getting from the VIP entrance to the backstage. The stage is bigger than at the previous Polymanga location, but smaller than the pictures from ECG facebook would suggest. Montreux is a beautiful city (town? XD) so in general that makes it also great for cosplay photoshootings. In general I recommend the convention for visiting since this year around they also had staff that could speak English. :’D Such an improvement.

That’s about it.

So, next convention is in a little more than 2 weeks and I’m working on my costumes and my performances. Here is the plan:

Animuc 20.04-21.04
Saturday:
- Yuzuriha Inori (Guilty Crown) [EGOIST PV] NEW COSTUME
/Cosplay Catwalk Jury
/Showact

Euterpe

Sunday:
- Sakura Hime (TSUBASA: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLe) [clow country]
/DCM preliminary

 

Looking back at 2012 cosplay year

I never wrote this, so I might as as well do it now.
Looking back 2012 was a horrible unproductive fail cosplay year. I hope 2013 will be better.
I started sewing very late and :iconNatsuKita:’s and our Muramasa Kitsune duet didn’t work out for Animuc. The wigs arrived far too late too. So I spontaniously sewed Miki.
It’s probably the costume I’m the most content with.
Afterwards I was busy sewing Higanbana, but in the end I also had too little time. Zakuro is just me borrowing/buying a wig for Hozuki’s kimono. :/
I was also very busy with university and I still am.
I wore old costumes to Cosday as the exams end just before the convention. I had only one month for Sayaka and then I added Aries to the list too. While Aries turned out fine, Sayaka has to be upgraded.

And that was it for the costumes I wore at conventions. I finished Sasha and I really love the way the shooting turned out. However recently the staff broke Q__Q’ I can’t wear it now as an emergency costume this year. I also finished Yuzuruha, I still ahev to finish upgrading her.

And the rest of 2012 I’ve spent sewing Tsurara, which I recently finished and … well, university stuff.

As for 2013

Upcoming things are mostly my clow country Sakura und Sayaka repairs. These two will be reworn this year. I’m thinking about sewing reservoir Sakura dress. The sewing part shouldn’t take long. It would also be better for Jeannechans and mine ECG skit. I also really feel like sewing some more of Sakura’s outfits. The real planned next new costumes are Hozuki and Takamina though. I’m more motivated for Takamina. I just noticed how much of administration and organization I have to perform for my hobby in the near future, it feels like a lot of stress. I hope I get to everything.

A new costume~

Hello everyone

Here come come costume updates :D

I know I’ve been very busy so there were no cover or costume updates, but here they come!

First of all a new TV-size cover in german: Kibou ni Tsuite (AKB0048) [TV-size german]

I am a huge fan of AKB0048 >w<. Translating the lyrics was hard this time though. I found the lyrics very inspirational, though there was a sequence where I thought “What the heck is that even supposed to mean?” when translating. The chorus lyrics are great.

Now onto the costumes. I added a new swimsuit Nia picture with my friend as bikini Yoko. Sadly we don’t have many pictures of us in those costumes, but it was long due to be added.

-ichi-

There is also a completely new costume! I finally finished Tsurara from Nurarihyon no Mago!

That’s it for today~

See you next time~

New Cover

Some of you might have noticed, that I finally had scratched up some time despite uni stuffs. September-October unitime was hell Q___Q

 

I uploaded a new cover Heavy Rotation (AKB48). It will also be replacing Kiseki no Umi as my homepage featured song.

Also, I apparently haven’t written about it, but I finished Yuzuruha. Quite a while ago actually Oo’ So long, that I found time to do correction, although after taking pictures. I think some of you might have noticed, as it had been in the featured content slidebar before I had to search all of the files for the worm least my homepage gets blocked again.

This way my Yuzuruha Wig tutorial went up as well. I just noticed I had forgotten to put it into the menu, so it’s accessible now.

Also, as soon as I get to it I’ll do something about the layout, please bear with this one for a while longer? Q_Q

see you around~

Some new covers might come~
