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!

Angel Beats!: Yui and Hinata Hideki

Although Hinata Hideki initially found Yui to be very annoying, they actually care deeply about one another. Yui often pesters him about anything she can think of and Hinata would usually ignore or shout back at her. Hinata later finds out that one of Yui’s regrets in her life was that she wasn’t able to get married, and Hinata helped her pass on by promising to marry her even if she was still paralyzed when they are reincarnated.

I find this photo to be so cute, especially knowing the relationship these two had, it’s just perfect. I really do hope they find each other again in their second lives. I only wish I knew who Kousaka Yun was cosplaying with. Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!

Clannad: Ibuki Fuko 02

WARNING: This article contains spoiler, please read at your own risk!

After they learned about Fuko’s accident and her unknown existence as an ikiryo or astral projection, Furukawa Nagisa and Okazaki Tomoya decided to assist Fuko to accomplish her dreams: to carve 700 starfishes to be distributed in the school as a form of invitation to her sister, Kouko’s wedding. However, just when they thought everything was going well, Fuko started to disappear from everyone’s hearts because the real Fuko had stopped breathing in the hospital. Tomoya then asked Komura Toshio to organize the wedding ceremony on the 18th of May. The wedding turned out to be a success and everyone who received a starfish came to the ceremony.

Cute Fuko cosplayer! It’s been a long time since I’ve last seen Clannad. I don’t think I was even able to finish watching the second season! Guess I should start watching again. Thanks to again to Hannah for sending this in!

Bakemonogatari: Sengoku Nadeko

Tuskihi's friend back in elementary school, Sengoku Nadeko is a shy girl who can be easily amused. She used to play with Koyomi a lot whenever she was invited by his sisters to come over. Koyomi is also the person who ended up helping Nadeko in breaking her fatal curse.

Impressive cosplay by Kousaka Yun! I really love the simplicity and effectiveness of this cosplay. The location has a nice, summer feel to it too! Thanks to Dhalia for sending this!

K-On!: Nakano Azusa 03

Azusa looks up to Mio from the light music club due to her maturity and experience as a bassist. Once, she even tried to give Mio chocolate for Valentine’s Day. However, she sometimes unintentionally points out Mio’s weaknesses, such as her weight. She also thinks Mugi is very beautiful, envious of her hair and large eyes.

To be honest, Azusa has nothing to be envious of. She herself is very talented and cute, right? Thanks to MP Zero for the awesome photography and also to Ange for the contribution!

Gintama: Kamui and Kagura

The son and daughter of the violent Yato clan, Kamui and Kagura chose different paths in order to escape their heritage as to be expected of them for being the infamous alien hunter, Umibouzu's offsprings. Kamui becomes the leader of the space pirates Harusame's 7th squad, while Kagura works with Gintoki in Yorozuya doing odd jobs to make the world a better place (and pay their rent).

Aren't they adorable? This picture is making me hungry for sweets. I love how their wigs have the same shade of color. Great work!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for letting me know these cosplayers are Touya Hibiki as Kamui and Yun Kosaka as Kagura!
