Nankai Renai is a song by GUMI, one of my favourite vocaloids. The song is about a difficult love. This was my first time expressing more sad expressions in cosplay.
I really love this cosplay. Of course, I worked with a team.

None of these photos are edited. I attended cosplayers Hana and Baozi’s panel on posing for cosplay the other week and they said that research is very important. Research on finding a suitable location to shoot and also expressing what the character feels in the source material. Time of day to shoot is also important, in which they recommended cosplaying in the evening.
That’s why I chose a dock as the location during a time that was not hot. I tried to replicate some of the poses from the music video, and the photographer was great with directing the shots.
The shots wouldn’t look nearly as good if it weren’t for my makeup artist! So I am very, very thankful to my team, and also to my readers for supporting me in my cosplay hobby! ^_^
Wow! You are so perfect for cosplay!

Thanks Michel! I think so too, which makes sense because you become more comfortable outdoors in cosplay and it gets better with practice too. Heheh 😀

I hadn’t realized all the thinking and planning that goes into cosplaying: selecting the right location at the right time, and getting into the headspace of one’s character.

Cute!! I’ve always though of Nankai Ren’ai as a pretty optimistic love song, but you look so sad! Oh well, unrequited love is still unrequited…XD
