Fanime '07: Kirihara cosplay and the tenipuri gathering!
Thursday night musicfest with ZZ was very awesome. I love them so much. They sang their two songs from Eyeshield 21, their song from One Piece, and Samurai Blue (and a whole bunch of other songs too.
I didn't cosplay on Friday (my friends wanted to dress up as school boys/school girls) but I did wear the pair of wings that my dad helped me make for my Eureka cosplay. Lots of people stopped me for pics just because of the wings! I wasn't even cosplaying as anyone!
As for this post? Kirihara cosplay!! (link takes you to cosplay.com) I cosplayed Kirihara on Saturday. I almost couldn't cosplay him because my wig hadn't come yet. But on Friday just as I was leaving for Fanime, my wig came! Just in time for Saturday! More people stopped me for pics than I thought would. One of them even said, "Kirihara-kun desu ka?" XD; For some reason, people think I look Japanese when I'm cosplaying Kirihara with that wig...some guy asked me if I were from Japan. 0_0;
Here's a teaser. =P
First off, this was how my wig looked like before I dyed it black with sharpie:
It was auburn! But I bought it anyway because it was cheap and it was the right hairstyle...just not the right color. The black sharpie sort of came off everytime I tugged at the wig...so my fingernails got black very easily. ): This darn wig was so hard to put on. It's waaay too small for my head. After I put it on, I didn't want to take it off.
Before I left for Fanime, I had my brother take pics of me on the tennis courts. I couldn't really remember what poses Kirihara did off the top of my head...so we just sort of improvised. X3;
Kicking the net after losing a game. I think I aimed a bit too high. ^^; I never finished my polo shirt, so I had to wear my jacket zipped up the entire time.
Copying the Higuma Otoshi. Didn't really remember what it was supposed to look like. ^^;
Defeated!Kirihara...my brother made me do it. The ground was HOT.
I whacked the net with my racket, but you can't really tell in this pic.
My form is horrible.
Looking over my back...I need red eyes for this.
Look! A pic at the actual convention!
Me, and mini me! I forgot to bring my Kirihara j-mini with me to the convention, but a Hyotei cosplayer gave me her extra one. How awesome is that? X3;
Ahahaha, look! Kirihara and a pink umbrella! (It was my friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gem2niki's umbrella. I hung around her table in the artist alley a lot.)
I metyoshikochan, ycysusan, and a bunch of other people who's names I don't quite remember...anyway, if you see your pic here, do tell me which one you are! I have a horrible memory. ^^;
The Tenipuri gathering. It was quite tiny and full of Seigaku members! I know I saw more PoT cosplayers walking around the con (at least a few more Echizens!) but I guess they didn't make it to the gathering.
Thankfully, the ground at Fanime wasn't hot like the courts. XD;
I asked my friend to take a picture of me with my buchou Yukimura~. All the while, I was hesitating on asking if she wereyoshikochan since she didn't seem to recognize me. I should have been sure since we've met at AX, but I am quite horrible at recognizing people. The glomp after we figured out all of our identities amused me a lot. XD; Meeting people you know online is so very awesome. ♥ (look, pretty blue hair! And yoshiko, how were you able to open your eyes so wide? I'm squinting so much! ;_; )
Sanada bitch slap. Gotta have one of those. <3
A more normal pic with Sanada fukubuchou.
After the Seigaku people left, a lot more Rikkai people came. <3 Made my day!
Oh wait, can't forget that Fuji was still there with us. XD; Fuji, who loooves Inui juice. I've metycysusan at AX last year, though I didn't know who she was that time. Meeting again was great fun. (I've also seen ycysusan around yoshikochan's journal. XD; )
Ahahaha, and with a pair of glasses, Fuji transformed into Tezuka. Two for one!
Double Higuma Otoshi. I think it looks cool...even though my racket's not at the right angle. ):
Hugging the rival. :D
Yukimura buchou and Sanada fukubuchou. :D
Us tenipuri cosplayers who wandered off to hit against the wall (which didn't work out too well, but it was still great fun). Thanks to Fuji (ycysusan) for taking the pic.
I wasn't able to stay long...I had to leave for the PLAY! video game music symphony. Watching all those people play was very, very cool. (It felt too short for me.)
I had an awesome time with the PoT gathering (even though it was small!) and meeting everyone. It was the only gathering that I participated in this year.

THAT'S SO AWESOME I WANNA SEE. XDDDDDDDDD
He is. He's been going for... this'll be his third year? Something like that. ^_^
I tried to convince him but no go. XD; HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW POPULAR HE'D BE!!!Will you be able to make it to the gathering? ;-;There's always a lot. @_@ Last year there was only that one Fudomine and two (two?) St. Rudolph. I have no racquet, I thought I would make do with a tennis ball. XD But if you have one (!!!), mayhaps I'll borrow it for the gathering? If only it'd not too much trouble. ^_^;;;;;;

I've done a video with calculus and igo too XD;;;Aww, does your brother not like cosplay? Tenipuri cosplay shouldn't be very embarrassing or anything since the outfits are almost normal-ish. Kaidoh and his black shirt is totally something that can be worn on a day-to-day basis!
And yes, he'd totally be POPULAR. He's probably afraid of that very fact?? XD;;I'm going to be staying at the Westin, so it'll just be a matter of getting up early. No commuting or walking far for me, so I better get there on time. XD;; The D.Gray-man gathering is an hour after the tenipuri one though, so I might have to leave early to change. ;_; I don't even know if I'll be able to change fast enough even if I do leave early.
I'll bring my wooden racket then. :D I'm going to borrow my brother's racket bag again, so it'll just be a matter of storing two rackets in there instead of one. ♥ Won't be much trouble at all. I might even bring a third one so that the racket bag maintains shape even after I take the other rackets out. XD;

It's not so much cosplay, but I think the popularity. *nodnod* He's a very keep-to-yourself kinda guy. It took a lot to get him to let me take pictures in the first place after all. XD;
Aw, I hope you make it! ^^ *squish lots* To both too to have fun, but don't rush yourself too much ne?
XD That's awesome. I was thinking about buying a wooden racquet but I wouldn't know where to look for one. At least I have tennis balls. And the whole playing with my hair thing.

My brother's not as into cosplay as I am, but I think it's because making outfits takes a lot of time and skill. He'd cosplay tenipuri if I made an outfit for him. X3; I was going to make him cosplay Yagyuu this time, but I ran out of time and he ended up not going to the convention anyway. *sigh*
Ahaha, I had a dream that I missed the gathering. XD;; I think I'm getting paranoid now.
Hee, a pail and some clams/seashells would make awesome props too. XD;;
no subject
There see? XD; I don't even do anything to my outfits. Well I have to somehow get he kanji on my currently Rokkaku-less jacket, but nothing too much. You spend lots of time on yours. *bows down to you*
Oh NOES! Lucathia can't miss the gathering. T-T *will cling to*
LOL! Yes, I suppose so. XDDDDD But me carrying around a pail... hmmm... XDDD
