Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka

Source: Picasa

見つめ合うのは魅かれ合っているからでしょう
There is a mutual fascination between us as we gazed at each other.
あなたの背中に決して消えない傷跡を残したい
I didn’t want to leave a permanent scar on your back.
一人泣いていたの
All alone, I cried…
この手を汚しても手に入れたい
As I also wanted to soil those hands.

“Rondo of the Sun and Moon”
Lyrics by Vocalochu
Translation by Kurohiko

Another amazing Vocaloid cosplay by Tasha and Tomia! Forgive the crude translation, my Japanese is not very good, but I couldn’t find an English translation online! I hope it’s about right though! Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!

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

翳（かげ）る雲隠れの　月に惑わされ
Muddled by the darkening moon hidden in the clouds,
闇を駆けて消える　一筋の希望
My only ray of hope runs through the darkness and disappears.
君の姿さえも　上手く描けずに
Not even able to make out your figure and features,
乱れていく風の　行方追いかける
I chase after the whereabouts of the disheveling wind.

“Knife”

Another amazing photo by Korean cosplayers, Tomia, Tasha, and Ren! Looks like they really went all out for the fabric choices in this cosplay. Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Magic Knight Rayearth: Ryuuzaki Umi, Shidou Hikaru, and Hououji Fuu

Source: Tasha on Facebook

When Shidou Hikaru, Ryuuzaki Umi, and Hououji Fuu went on a field trip to the Tokyo Tower with their respective schools, the girls never would have guessed what amazing adventure awaited them that fateful day. The three girls were blinded by a flash of light where they heard a voice calling for the Legendary Magic Knights to save Cephiro. They fall through the sky into another world, a magical world where the power of your will determines the efficiency of one’s magic.

Beautiful Umi by Tasha! And I don’t know who her companions are exactly, but they all really look the part! Thanks again to Sean for sending this in!

Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Len, Kaito, and Kamui Gakupo

愛し愛され　狂いそうなほどに
To love and be loved to the point of going mad
甘く熱いくちづけは　IMITATION
The sweet inferno burning kiss is an Imitation
麻痺する感覚　遠くなる意識
Senses numbing and consciousness slowly fading
溢れる想いと真実
The overflowing emotions all over me.
黒で塗り潰して
Just Paint It All Over In Black!!!

“Imitation Black” Lyrics and Translation by
Vocalochu

This is probably one of my most favorite Vocaloid songs, so you can guess why I jumped at the opportunity to feature this. Cain, the contributor, said that one of the cosplayers featured here is Tasha. Can anyone confirm this?

“Towa no Choir” Lyrics and Translation by

We have a new layout but no new banner! How can this be?!

Well, the dark layout was straining my eyes, so this is the new, temporary layout that I wanted to try and work with. Why? Because now you can anonymously react to each and every post!

Let’s face it, not everyone likes the same things, and opinions are especially diverse with cosplays! You either love it, like it, or hate it! Now you can post your reaction with a click of a mouse at the bottom of each feature in Cosplay Holic, and no one would be the wiser! You can even go back to your favorite cosplays, no matter how old the post may be, and show your support!

Have fun clicking! And thanks again to Billy for sending me this wonderful cosplay of Meiko!

Tiger & Bunny: Blue Rose

The “Super Celebrity of Heroes”, Blue Rose is a high school student whose real name is Karina Lyle. She still lives with her parents and makes use of her heroic feats to boost her career as a singer. She has freezing powers and, at the insistence of her sponsor company Pepsi, Blue Rose always says “My ice may be a little cold, but your crime has been put completely on hold!” when she apprehends criminals.

Sounds like an interesting character to me! But does this mean Pepsi just got free advertising from Cosplay Holic too? Lovely cosplay by Tasha and thanks to Jean for sending this in!

Kuroshitsuji: Ciel Phantomhive 06

After his parents were murdered, Ciel Phantomhive become a slave and a sacrifice for a religious cult ritual. While he was being tortured, however, his hatred grew for the people who took away his parents and freedom, summoning a demon Ciel named Sebastian Michaelis. It was then that Ciel sold his soul to the devil in order to gain the power to fulfill his revenge.

Gorgeous cosplay! Even if the hair is white instead of gray, I think it’s a minor error which can be overlooked. Originally found on Tumblr.

THE iDOLM@STER 2 Cast

An arcade and console raising simulation game, The Idolmaster 2 follows the lives of girls trying to realize their dreams of becoming famous. The game was first released exclusively in Japan by Namco on the 26th of July 2005, and later on Xbox 360 on the 25th of January 2007.

I’m pretty sure Tomia, Tasha, and Eki are there, but I’m not sure who the other girls are and which characters they are cosplaying as. Maybe someone can name them properly? Thanks to Kline for sharing this!

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: Panty Anarchy and Stocking Anarchy

When the Anarchy sisters, Panty and Stocking, were kicked out of heaven for bad behavior, they are sent to Daten City in order to collect Heaven Coins to regain entrance to Heaven. Panty is quite rude and aggressive, almost an exact opposite to Stocking who is generally more level-headed and intelligent. Panty does not take her Ghost-hunting duties as seriously as Stocking does, preferring other earthly pleasures before she returns to heaven.

Beautiful cosplay by legendary Korean duo, Tasha and Tomia! I really love their matching poses and gorgeous wigs! Thanks to Alberstein for sending this!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter, Dead Master, and Black Gold Saw

I thought the previous posts of Black Gold Saw, Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master looked similar. In a good way, because apparently, the three cosplayers were shooting in the same studio! Absolutely breath-taking work!

If only we knew who the cosplayers were. Thanks to Fillet’s Minion for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to Anon for letting me know Black Rock Shooter's cosplayer is Tasha from Cure!

EDIT2: Thanks to Fang Shinobi for adding the other cosplayers' names as Tomia and Eki!

Black★Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master

The primary protagonist and antagonist of the OVA series, Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master were presumed to be sisters in the early stages of the animation project. As Black Rock Shooter prefers her Black Sword, Dead Master’s weapon of choice is a large scythe with an unusually shaped blade with vertebra like detail on its handle.

Dead Master shares similar characteristics with Takanashi Yomi, a first year middle school student and friend of Kuroi Mato, who also shares similarities with Black Rock Shooter.

Awesome cosplay! I love everything about this photo, although Dead Master’s horn and scythe are a little too smooth. Thanks again to Jessica for sending this in!
