And so I had a “Rondo of the Sun & Moon” photoshoot in June (OMG WHERE DID ALL E TIME GO?!). Read my first entry with more write-up about the shoothere.
Special thanks to all the photographers and helpers involved that helped made the shoot such a comfortable and enjoyable one despite the humidity and mosquitoes! Also major love to my Miku, Inuran for being such a cute Miku

Pimping Inuran as Hatsune Miku before I spam photos of erm…me =x Isn't she cute ^^? I think innocent and moe looking character suits her a lot =)
I’m sure many people will wonder how we achieved this dynamic picture. You might not believe it but this was shot with just me doing a 120 degree turn while holding my rapier. There was no natural wind, neither was there a helper to help me flip my wig.
The backlit light is a real sun setting but of course, colours is tuned in photoshop by Brian.
Zeratul made me look super tall here *hearts*
This marks the end of my photo pimp. I’m sorry I talked so little, the photos silenced me XD Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the photos because they were a lot of hard work from both the Cosplayer and Photographers. Leave me an encouraging comment if you liked it XD!
Woots! There’s a Korean Vocaloid coming out soon! Because it is running it newest software engine, the realism of the voice is undeniably strong! Seriously, I’m blogging about this only because I’m in love with her debut song “I-Fantasy”
Cosplay anyone xD?
“ Vocaloid, the popular vocal synthesizer application made popular by ‘artists’ like Hatsune Miku, has rolled out its first ever Korean Vocaloid named ‘SeeU‘.
Produced by Hitman Bang (Bang Shi Hyuk), SeeU’s voice was provided by memberDaheeof Big Hit Entertainment‘s upcoming girl group, GLAM.
A demo of her official song, “I=Fantasy“, was revealed online on August 30th. SeeU comes with Korean and Japanese voice banks and will be out in the Korean and Japanese market by October this year.
The fact that she’s a third generation Vocaloid artist means she has the new 03 engine franchise (tentatively due for release this month), an exciting piece of news for Vocaloid enthusiasts. Overall, it sure makes for an interesting promotional tactic for GLAM in particular, adding anticipation for their debut. ”
Hi guys! I’m back with a video and entry to give prospective Kagamine Rin/Len cosplayers an insight into the making of the default Vocaloid costume.
This is NOT a tutorial entry but I’ll try to give as much tips as I can and hope you guys like it. Here goes! *Videos and photos inside*
The Headphone
My headphone was graciously made by Yuanie who was my Kagamine Len. And she had a method quite different from Inuran’s.
My Kagamine Rin headphones is NOT done using this method. But you might wanna check Inuran’s method out if you’re interested.
It is done with a normal hairband as a base. The earpads are primarily made with cardboard and white foam. The coloured parts are mostly either coloured paper or vinyl tapes.
Body of the microphone is made with bendable wires and wrapped with white vinyl tape while the tip itself is made by coiling white foam around the wire and sealing everything up with vinyl tape again. You can attach the ribbon to the hairband by gluing it directly. Or you can do it like me, attaching the ribbons to 2 ( I used 2 for security) rubber band and then tying it onto the hairband. Whichever method you prefer would work fine. I chose to attach the ribbon to the hairband with rubber bands because I wanted it to be flexible. So if I ever want to use the hairband for other purpose, I can.
The Arm Warmers The arm warmers are done with a very straight forward pattern which I’ll cover that in the future. The LCD patterns on the arm warmer are created with black foam and green velvet cloth. I stuck them on to the Arm warmers with double sided tape, which is a bad choice ^^;
Below's a video to teach you how to make Arm Warmers.
A small tip for those who are having problem acquiring thick black foam. An alternative is to snip them from any old foam mouse pads. They work just as remarkably and you’re helping the environment! ha-ha.
The Belt
The belt is basically a cloth tube with the edges sewed in. For the triangles, we cut a bunch of diamonds from some yellow velvet and stuck them on to the fabric tube with fabric glue. According to Yuanie, you can use white glue too.
I did my costume in a rush so please don’t mind the ugly stitches =\
The Costume
The costume is just a simple sailor fuku kind of top without sleeves. The more confusing portion would be the musical note on the chest area. It is done by tracing the note on the back of a piece of velvet and then cutting it out. We then stuck the note on to the costume with fabric glue.
My pants are just store bought black shorts.
