Animania SUNDAY ARASHI FWOOO.

Sunday we dressed up as ARASHI from Kitto Daijoubu. And WE DANCCCED.

For everyone who don't know who that is:

We were THIS:


Complete with CAR



And Rainbows on top of our heads. Which we referred to as our 'tard hats.


Arleh wouldn't let me put it on until we had to go on stage because people might get the wrong idea. LOL.

Sunday is the chillout session. We sang Karaoke (We Can Make it) and failed miserably because neither of us are Idol-material, we shopped and got myself the Death Note artbook and a HARD GAY sweater hoodie.

Though Chillout session or not, that didn't stop some amazing cosplayers turning up:

Justin in his Schoolgirl riding on Chocobo PWNED us all:

The man has an amazing imagination.

The Naruto Cosplay group that was so BIG it BOGGLED THE MIND. They also had LOL furry sword.


And they also did awesome stuff like act out my not-so-secret GaaraxNaruto shipper needs:


The Arrankar Bleach Group who so believeably beat the crap out of each other I ducked as the sword flew in my direction.


The Deathnote cosplayers:

Whose skit made me laugh and laugh and love. LJ Word limit isn't letting me embed so FOLLOW THE LINKKKKKKKK

More Final Fantasy awesome:


The Zabuza and Haku Naruto group

Zabuza kept slapping me on the cheek because I kept taking advantage of him not being able to speak through the bandages.

The Naruto Family:

AHHHH How I loved little Chibi Sakura, who loved us in return, for our glittery rainbows and our cardboard car. She said she saw the car on playschool once. To which we could only reply, "Yes."

Me and Arleh as MATSUMOTO JUN and SAKURAI SHO in our 'tard hats doing our dance. Still hoping someone took a video of it.



We Kitto Daijoubu'ed our little hearts out.

Thank you Bubby and Adun for getting such great pictures of us.

In Lieu of our actual skit, which we couldn't get because we had no camera friends in the audience, here is one of our practices which was preeeeettty dodgey since we haven't figured out what to do in the verses and I am flailing like a rag doll on LSD to make up for it. We also couldn't hear the music while we practiced to add to the hilarity.
LAUGH AND POINT LOLZ.


Does ANYONE have our actual skit on video to compared to this travesty?

There was a lot of groovy dancing after the cosplay from dance troops who pwned our dancing.
Followed by the Dance leader and MC kissing some floor.

It's Animania's last year in TownHall TownHall. I hope next year the venue would be just as good. I will miss the Townhall. It was so clean, and there were so many bathrooms and nooks and crannies to practice skits, not to mention the great stage and plushy seating.

Sunday was also when we were told we won BEST OVERALL COSTUME for our Gundam!!!

US, GLOWING IN GLORY and the shine from our Lincraft vouchers, and the Japanese cosplay books (which we cannot read for we do not know Japanese) somewhere off screen.



My reaction was very, "THANK GOD. YUS." As I bounced on stage.

Now we have to do something to top Gundam for Next year, which will be the premlinaries for the INTERNATIONAL COSPLAY SUMMIT. If we win, we can get a free ride to Nagoya Japan. You bet your arse, we're going to try for the gold. :DDD

After we left the con, Ms Pikachu came to say hi randomly at Maccas.
She was cool.

And Arleh practiced some Parallel parking.



WE HAD FUN.

ETA: OUR SKIT!!! courtesy of [info]eternity_faded and [info]blindedbypurple. We weren't as out of sync as I thought we were :DDDD

You guys are so awesome, I would kill to cosplay but my country doesn't do conventions lolol

I don'r want to come off as racist or like, whatever it is I'll probably come off as, but where was this convention held? There are a lot of Asian kids doing the cosplays.

Haha, we're in Sydney, Australia, and a lot of our population is immigrants as well as a majority of white people. Don't let my limited pictures mislead you, the cosplayers are very mixed... though a lot of them purposely try to look Japanese since it is an anime convention...

No conventions doesn't mean you can't cosplay! Some things you can wear out as everyday wear anyway.

Plus,you can also try to attend some of the other Europe-cons as a holiday destination. That's also fun too.

Ah, I see!

And yes, I've been attending Japan Expo in paris for the past 2 years, but I dunno who to cosplay and I'm embarassed to do it alone LOLZ

The general rule of thumb for single cosplay that I've gathered from experience (for my own joy at least) is to not do a girl cosplay, because like it or not, the girl cosplayers have little to do but stand/sit/pose and look pretty, usually in a revealing outfit, while as a male character you can run around doing crazy stuff. Music or speech should be pre scripted.

As a single cosplayer, the more singularly elaborate your costume, the better your chances for winning.

Say, cosplaying as a GIANT FELT LABOON with tiny plushie Luffy riding in top. Or the Going Merry with your head topped by little orange trees. Or Sanji + Bundt Cake (lol).

Cosplay gets addictive after a while. :D

I was so suprised no-one knew you were suppose to be ARASHI! Some people are so oblivious to one of the most popular and now practically most seen J-pop group ever!

anyway <3333!! ...and seeing Arashi cosplayers under Sunday's cosplay list made me and my friend spazz for a few hours too..XD!!!

(she totally forgot one member, OHNO! <= shame)
