Uta no Prince-sama: Tsukimiya Ringo 03

uta no prince-sama cosplay - tsukimiya ringo by akatsuki tsukasa

[Wow,wowowo]

重なり合う僕らのdream
Our dream overlaps

[Wow,wowowo]

ここには歌があるから
Because here there is a song

Chase your love

[Shine bright]

眩しい太陽に射抜かれ
Piercing through the radiant sunlight,
遥かな空に 手を伸ばし
Reaching out my hand toward the distant sky

[Shine bright]

弾ける青をくぐり抜け
Passing through the bursting blue,
見つけた想い ほらここに
This feeling I’ve found, now here there’s

Nothing but music in me

“SHINE”
Lyrics by Uta Net
Translation by ☽ Moonlit Sanctuary ☾

Anyone watching the latest season of Uta no Prince-sama? I wonder how the storyline is this time? Not that I mind it actually, I personally prefer that they put all of their effort into the songs rather than the story, haha!

Guilty Crown: Yuzuriha Inori 06

guilty crown cosplay - yuzuriha inori by anly zhang / kameko遠く遠くどこまでも遠く
With your hand in mine
君と二人 手を取って永遠に
We can go on  forever and ever
どこまでだって行けるはず
No matter how far it takes us
もう一人じゃないと君はそう言い
You tell me that I'm no longer alone
また笑う
And again, you smile

守るべき大事なものが今あって
When you have something precious you must protect
だけど成すすべもなく立ち尽くす時は
But you can only stand rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do
可能\性を失って暗闇が君を覆い隠し
Or when you lose all your possibilities and let darkness envelop you
絶望に飲みこまれそうな時は
And you’re about to be swallowed up in your despair
私が君を照らす明りになるから
I will become the light to shine your path
たとえこの世界の王にだって消せはしない
Even the king of this world cannot block me out

so, everything that makes me whole

今君に捧げよう
I will dedicate them all to you now

I’m Yours

“My Dearest”
Lyrics and Translation by Anime Lyrics

Sword Art Online: Alfheim Online: Titania (Asuna) 03

sword art online: alfheim online cosplay - asuna titania fairy queen

At the end of Sword Art Online, all of the trapped players were presumed to be released from the game after years of being unable to logout. It was later revealed that Asuna, along with 300 other players, were trapped in the World Tree inside another game known as Alfheim Online. Asuna was forced to play the role of the Fairy Queen, Titania, by the fiancé her parents chose for her, Nobuyuki Sugou, who played the role of the Fairy King Oberon.

An actual cage to go with this Titania cosplay! I must say, I’m very impressed! And she looks like she has some wings too! Thanks to Michael for sending this in!

Naruto: Uzumaki Naruto 06

naruto stage cosplay - uzumaki naruto by matsuoka koudai

Naruto is a boisterous and exuberant individual well-known for his catchphrase “Dattebayo!” or the American alternative, “Believe it!”. He is quite the picky eater, almost exclusively eating ramen for all of his meals. He also likes giving nicknames to anyone he meets, and often addresses them without proper honorifics, even if there is an obvious gap in social standings.

So, fans of this franchise who are in Japan, how was the performance? Frankly, I’m impressed with this photo of Matsuoka Koudai, because a handstand like that is difficult to do! Hopefully a DVD and/or Blu-Ray will be out soon?

Fate/Unlimited Codes: Saber Lily 08

fate/unlimited codes cosplay - saber lily by kazumi後悔にさえも
Let’s make it so that
辿り着けぬまま
Even regret can’t reach us
あきらめてしまったなら
If we were to just give up
きっと 必ず 後悔する
We’d definitely, absolutely regret it

白く 白く 降り積もる理想に
I leave my footprints in the white, white ideals
僕の足跡 刻んでいくよ
Piled up like snow
今の僕には 闇雲な このきもち しかないけど
Right now I don’t have anything but these reckless feelings
正解なんて ひとつじゃない
But there’s not just one right answer
僕だけの明日を探してる ずっと
I’m always searching for a tomorrow that’s just for me

Amnesia: Shin 04

amnesia cosplay - shin by alfred xiaolay欠け落ち失くしてしまった
I search for the final component
最後のコンポーネントを探して
I lost when I fell on down.
遥かな星を辿り
I arrive at a distant star
虹色に染まる空の果てへ
At the edge of the sky dyed in the colors of the rainbow.

隙間から零れ出す小さな灯に囚われ
I am held prisoner by the little lights that fell through the cracks
白日夢に似た道 歩き 歩き
And down a path that looks like a day dream, I walk, and I walk.
加速する引力が
The excelling gravity,
繰り返す動力が
The repeating pull,
私の心ごと 話さない
Will not tell me about my heart.

“Zeotrope”
Lyrics by Crimson Silk
Translation by Sarah Nelkin

Doesn’t Alfred Xiaolay make an amazing Shin? I think I like this outfit better than his original one, what do you guys think? Thanks to Jennifer for sending this in!

Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc: Enoshima Junko

dangan ronpa: trigger happy havoc cosplay - enoshima junko by maki eracleaA young fashionista who took the country by storm with her extravagant tastes, Enoshima Junko had always wanted to be a model ever since she was a child. Her personality and mannerisms are extremely erratic and unstable, as she admits that keeping up one “appearance” for too long bores her. She is the younger twin sister of Ikusaba Mukuro and had an alternate identity known as Otonashi Ryoko.

Meet Italian cosplayer Maki Eraclea! Doesn’t she make an amazing Junko? Please head on over to her Facebook page and give her your support! Thanks to Maki for letting me post this!

Sword Art Online: Gun Gale Online: Asada Shino

When Shino was less than two-years old, she and her parents were involved in a car accident. Unfortunately, it took more than 6 hours before anyone even noticed, and Shino’s father died slowly from internal bleeding while her mother watched. The trauma caused her mother to become very fragile, and thus Shino became overprotective of her mother.

Isn’t Ely the cutest Shino? She has several versions of Sinon in her Facebook Page too, so please give her your support! Thanks to Harry for suggesting this!

Tokyo Ghoul: Tsukiyama Shuu and Kaneki Ken

tokyo ghoul cosplay - tsukiyama shuu and kaneki ken by ryuichi randoll

When Tsukiyama Shuu first met Kaneki in Antaiku, he became fascinated with his unique scent, and later found out that Kaneki was actually half-ghoul. Since then, Tsukiyama has been completely obsessed with Kaneki, seeing him as an exotic, one-of-a-kind dish that only he deserves to consume. As a result, Tsukiyama is always trying to find a way to consume Kaneki, which is the only reason why he helped rescue Kaneki from Aogiri’s hideout.

Oh dear, this is probably one of the most famous cosplay photos from Tokyo Ghoul right now! It’s not really all the difficult to see why! Anyway, I don’t know who the cosplayer behind Kaneki is, but Tsukiyama’s cosplayer is Ryuichi Randoll! You might remember his cosplay of Shin from Amnesia, so please visit his sites: Ask, Cure, Weibo, and World Cosplay! Thanks to Tama for sending this in!
