Naruto: Uchiha Sasuke 06

naruto cosplay - uchiha sasuke by sato ryuji

Although Sasuke was a kind and loving child, he had grown into cold, cynical, and arrogant young man after the downfall of the Uchiha Clan. During his time at the Academy, Sasuke was a loner who preferred to hone his skills than socializing with other students. However, when he was introduced to Team Kakashi, he first though of his teammates as a hindrance, until he slowly grew attached to them and began to think of them as his family.

Doesn’t Sato Ryuji make a lovely Sasuke? It looks like there are some changes to the textures and layers of his outfit. Maybe it simply looks better on the theatrical stage? I’m really curious to know how the fans thought of this play! Has anyone seen it yet?

Sleepless night, I think of you
夢の中で また会えるように
So we can meet in a dream again
この世界で つながる意味を
Meaning of relating in this world
探していた 宇宙の果てで
I was looking for it, at the end of the universe

その手に触れた
I touched your hand...

(Fly into daydream)

誰も知らない場所
Place where nobody knows
君だけを つれてくよ 真っ白な 時の中へ
I take you there, into pure white time

願いが遂げた 夜空を泳いだ
Wish melted in the night sky, I swam there
流れ星 一粒 輝いて はじけた
Piece of shooting star shines and splits
想いは巡り 永遠の風になる そう 今
Over the thoughts turn into eternal wind. Yes, now,
時を越えて
beyond the time

Adekan: Yoshiwara Shiro

adekan cosplay - yoshiwara shiro

An umbrella craftsman and a user of “anki”, Shiro is a beautiful, slender young man who is described to be aloof and distant. However, he has shown to genuinely care about the few people he considers to be his friends. He does keep his distance with potential romances, often telling women that they “should not get involved with a man like me”.

Kind of hard to not to want to get to know someone who is as beautiful as that. I wish I could tell you where the cosplayer’s other websites are, but I can only tell you their name, which is “Clare”. Anyway, thanks to Yuuki for sending this in!

Bakuman Movie’s Promotional Flyer

We’ve seen Sato Takeru and Kamiki Ryunosuke as Mashiro Moritaka and Takagi Akito back in May 2014… but I thought you guys might want to see this promotional leaflet, since the illustrations they are holding originals by Obata Takeshi!

The film is a youth drama that depicts the struggles of 2 high school students: Moritaka Mashiro and Takagi Akito, as they strive to be a successful mangaka pair that aims to be serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump. The poster shows the two protagonists holding an illustration drawn by the manga artist, Obata Takeshi-sensei, himself.

In addition to Sato & Kamiki, the film also features a star-studded supporting cast headed by prolific young actor Sometani Shota as their rival mangaka - Niizuma Eiji, Komatsu Nana as the heroine - Azuki Miho, Yamada Takayuki, Lily Franky, Kudo Kankuro, Kiritani Kenta, Sarutoki Minagawa and Arai Hirofumi. The film is directed by One Hitoshi (Moteki).

"Bakuman" will be in Japanese theaters on October 03, 2015.

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”

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?

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

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

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!
