Worldwide Cosplayer Photo journey: article status update

image

Just a short update about the status of the Worldwide Cosplayer Photo journey Project.

Sigh, the item is still listed as “ Despatched to overseas”. It has been reflecting the same status since last week.  With such a massive delay in the shipping process, I’m contemplating some changes to the rules and deadline =\

Cosfest Poll!

I'm feeling tired and braindead. So share with me what you guys think I should do at Cosfest!

Meeting Kipi @ Genting!

So I went for a short short short weekend getaway at Genting Highlands located in Malaysia with a few friends. It was an awesome trip and the cool climate there was such a refreshing relieve from Singapore’s  usual burning.

at the malls with arcades and ‘Funland' like stores

On the last day of our trip, we took a cable car ride down hill to visit the ponies and gawk at the awe-inspiring scenery of the highland. And while brisk walking to the cable car area, an unexpected encounter arises!

To my utmost astonishment, I saw a famous Japanese Cosplayer at one of the NeoPrint shop! And she is……..

 

KIPI!!!!!

Yes, the famous japanese cosplayer. Best known for her Suzumiya and Shana and many many moe cosplays!

It was totally unexpected. This is taken outside the print shop where I saw her! And took many photos of her without permission =X

Apologies for the poor quality of my camera that refused to work under the low light. I tried my best to photoshop as well as I could but the quality are still pretty shitty u_u Either way, hope you guys will enjoy them!

So did you guys enjoyed it? HAHAHAHHAA. Apologies for taking photographs without permission. Bad Kaika xD

I seriously wonder how long these photographs have been there. The colour seemed somewhat washed out when i saw it in RL and honestly, how can anyone call Neoprint a ‘Latest Attraction’ ?! That thing has been around for near 2 decades! Old enough to be a teenager by itself!

I wonder how Kipi would feel if she saw this. How would you feel if one fine day, you find your own Cosplay photos printed and plastered on A2 size pillars?

If you ask me, I’d admit, it is a big compliment. BUT I’d also feel greatly displeased to have my hardwork and intellectual property so blatantly USED and EXPLOITED without permission!

Yes, piracy is prevalent and heck,  everyone of us here has in some ways been part of it too by supporting Vocaloid PVs and variety shows on Youtube and downloading scans or Animes etc.

But when things are brought out of the virtual world and into a physical + COMMERCIAL world. I believe we are talking about something on a totally different scale altogether. Of course one might argue that maybe that shop owner is Kipi’s personal friend or have paid her a hefty commission fee. But I frankly doubt.

What do you guys think?

Hi peeps! I'm probably late in linking this but Danny Choo and Alodia fans out there, heads up!


Here's an upload of the 1st episode of Danny Choo's very own Television show, screening on Tokyomxtv. And first Otaku to be featured is *rolls drum*... Alodia Gosiengfiao!



Part 1/3
 Alodia appears somewhere at 3:09

Part 2/3

Part 3/3

The lack of subtitles are really getting to me @_@||| I think I'll just wait for some kind souls to sub it hahaha.

Naruto (Life action )

Someone just pimped me this. According to the title, its like the best Naruto Life Action video in China.

Now that you’ve watched the video, I’m sure you’ll agree that the title was halfarsed. But that said, I gotta admit I comment them for their efforts and the skills of their video producer. Lovely sharingan and flames effect. Personally as a Cosplayer, I’d love to be involved in such a production and bring my own worshipped series to life.

I’m starting to feel like I ought to continue watching Naruto.  I’ve abandoned it ever since the fillers came in=_=;;;; Yeah, that’s like SUPER long ago.

Jay Chou’s new song with the animation of Naruto. Last finger bit is very ….leaves much to intepretation lols

The Anime Character Quiz: VIDEOS!!!!!

Wooot, there's a lot of updates today. Hehehe, its my attempt to make up for the lack of contents this past week.

19859_282806976028_569886028_3583221_272329_n

Anyway, so I played a small game with some cosplayers during Soy’B and this is the final consolidated video.  How the game works is, I will show a video slideshow of 30 Anime Character pictures and the cosplayers have to say out the name of that specific Anime character as fast as possible.

Sounds easy? 

Well, it would be if you had all the time in the world to think. But nope, they (or you if you’re gonna attempt) only have 3 seconds each. If you’re game enough for it, then go ahead and try the quiz below!

How did you fared xDDD ???  Tell me your score in the comments!

I bet you stumbles and sluttered and probably waved your hands hysterically at the screen. Just like what some cosplayers did in the video below. Enjoy =)

Isn’t it very HAHAHHALOLWTFBBQXD?????? 

IMG_7501-46

Can’t remember who took this photo >.< If you know who did, please comment and I'll update!

Gotta love their reactions ! Much apologies for taking so freaking long to churn this video out. Literally 6months *palms forehead*. But in my defense, I did a lot of other stuffs like Just Be Friends Cosplay PV , TCC videos, Worldwide Cosplayer Photo Journeys, work, life, my own cosplays etc etc so well……you really can’t blame me can ya ?

Untitled-1

And of course, the biggest reason why this took so long was…………………because it’s FREAKIN INSANE TO EDIT!!!!!!!! See those little vertical lines in the pic above? every 2 lines symbolizes one cut, and that’s the simpler way of explaining things.

Anyway, nuff with my complains. I guess this is something you guys won’t understand *sigh*. Hope you enjoyed the videos and remember to  follow the blog and the blog’s twitter to get updates! Tata !!!
