Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Rin, Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Len, and Kaito

Blessings for your birthday
Blessings for your everyday

最後の一秒まで前を向け
Face forward until the very last second

剥がしても何故だか増えてくタグと
With tags that multiply even if torn off,
ランク付けされてく理不尽な価値
And the unreasonable worth from the rank attached to you,
そんな数値で人を推し量らないでと
You shouldn’t make assumptions about people with those values.
飛び交う言葉を手で覆い隠した
I masked those fluttering words with my hands.

Oh... It’s time to get up

灯火を消す前に
Before you turn off the light.

Oh... It's time to get up

足元を照らせ！
Brighten your step!

ほらここをじっと見つめてみて
Hey, try to take a good look over here,
最高の味方が映ってるでしょ？
Your greatest ally is reflected back at you, right?
それは命の証
That’s the proof of life.

“Blessing”
Lyrics and Translation by Vocaloid Lyrics

I immediately recognized that this is another amazing photo by the late Saya. It seems she and Kaname are close friends because this is the second Vocaloid shoot that they did together (you can see the other one I featured last February here). It still makes me sad to think she’s gone. Thanks to Midori for sending this in!

Vocaloid 2: Kaito and Hatsune Miku 03

もし　あの頃と同じように
わたしが　空き地で泣いていたなら
If I cry on the empty lot like I used to
また　あの時と同じように
あなたは　守ってくれるのかしら
Will you solace me like you used to?

あの頃は　何もあまり考えず
In those days I vaguely believed
あなたのお嫁さんになると　思ってた
I would be your bride

まだ　これからも同じように
As usual, let me walk with you
歩いて　ゆこうね
Holding each other’s hands
手をつないで　どこまでも
To the end of the world

“Just Like We Used to Be”
Lyrics by Vocaloid Lyrics | Translation by Vocaloid English

I still can’t believe Saya is gone… it makes me sad whenever I remember this, but I’m very happy that there are still many photos of her around. Many thanks to Saya’s fans who maintain her Fan Site!

Shingeki no Kyojin: Eren Jaeger and Mikasa Ackermann

Source: Kaname Cosplayer on Facebook

In year 845 after the fall of Wall Maria, Eren Jaeger, Mikasa Ackerman, and Armin Arlert worked in the landfill before reaching the proper age to enroll in the military. They spent approximately 4 years in training before graduating with Mikasa at the top of their class and Eren ranking 5th overall. However, before they could formally apply for a position in the Scouting Legion, the Colossal Titan attacked Trost the same way it did during the fall of Wall Maria.

A very impressive cosplay by renowned cosplayers Kaname as Eren and Yuegene as Mikasa! I’m speechless at how perfect they are for their respective characters. Thanks to Sarah for sending this in!

想い続ける
I keep on thinking of you
君影草 -Lily Bell-
-Lily Bell- Lily of the Valley

今手に残る感覚　真実？それとも、嘘？
The feeling left now in my hands, is it truth? Or is it a lie?

一時の痛み突き刺さる　庭園に立つ可憐な女性が
Briefly pierced by pain, the lovely woman standing in the garden
私の心一瞬で縛られ　落ちて　堕ちて　首を絞めた
Bound my heart in an instant, fallen, fallen, strangled

“Lily Bell”
Lyrics by Vocalochu
Translation by Narumo

Another breath-taking cosplay by Kaname! I think practically every girl (and boy?) anime fans would want to meet him some day! Me included! Thanks to Delle for sending this in!

Vocaloid 2: Kaito and Kagamine Len

良いこと尽くめ の夢から覚めたディスクの空きメモリは,
After I had woken up from a dream full of good things, yes / What exactly went through my mind then?
Virusという得体の知れないものに侵されてしまいまして,それからは。
I am invaded by this thing called love of incomprehensible nature, and so after that, what happened was, ah

どうしようもなく２つに裂けたシステム防御を
What could I possibly have done for there was a split in two – inside of my heart
制御するだけのセキュリティソフト搭載しているはずもないので
It’s just that I thought this capacity for control shouldn’t exist the way it does, though it is real, yes

“Two-Faced Errors” Lyrics and Translation by
Vocalochu

Two famous cosplayers, Kaname and Yuegene, in one photo?! You know that’s feature worthy as soon as you come across it! And isn’t it just adorable how Kaito is helping Len with his hair?

For those who are still guessing, that’s Kaname as Kaito and Yuegene as Kagamine Len. Please view the original in Yuegene’s Facebook post.

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Cloud Strife 07

I've featured Kaname in his Cloud cosplay twice in Cosplay Holic already, but never have I featured him in a video… reading doujinshi?!

Messing around at Anime Expo 2009, Kaname reading doujinshi for a bunch of people.

The Plasticgrl

I guess now people can’t deny that Cloud Kaname is real!

Happy New Year everyone! Thank you for all your patience and support for Cosplay Holic. I sincerely hope this will be another year of amazing cosplays and cosplayers!

Vocaloid: Kaito 03

Burakku Rokku Shuutaa hitori ja nai yo
Black Rock Shooter, you’re not alone

Koe o agete naitatte kamawanai
I don’t mind even if you cry with a loud voice

Burakku Rokku Shuutaa mite ite kureru
Black Rock Shooter, you’ll be watching me

Ima kara hajimaru no watashi no monogatari
My story will start from now

Wasuresou ni nattara kono uta o
When you seem to be forgetting it, I’ll sing

Utau no
This song

Although I would say this is the male version of Black Rock Shooter, cosplayer Kaname tagged this photo in his gallery as Kaito. Maybe Kaito has a version of the song Black Rock Shooter? In any case, there’s no use arguing with the cosplayer… Awesome work as usual, Kaname!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Cloud Strife 04

In the recent Anime Festival Asia 2009 where Alodia and Ashley Gosiengfiao represented Team Philippines, a famous cosplayer was among the judges and gave the sisters full marks, even though they didn’t win.

That cosplayer is known as Kaname. I recently found out that he is also the same cosplayer behind the other Cloud Strife I featured more than a year ago.

You have to admit, Kaname makes a very convincing Cloud. If anyone happens to know where his website is, I’d love to link his images back to him. Thank you!

EDIT: Thanks to Mirashibuyaa for posting Kaname's website! You will find more of Kaname's cosplays here. Enjoy!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Cloud Strife 03

This is the third Cloud cosplayer I’ve seen that’s taken my breath away.

It’s a simple shot, but very artistic. Cloud does have a tendency to go about by himself to think things through, and this is why I think this photo captures Cloud’s personality perfectly.

Nice work on this! I wonder if he used hair cement too?
