The original...

Kaicon Brisbane 2025
Now, who would cosplay the vocalist of a Visual Kei band nobody in knows even in Japan, to a convention in Australia...? Me! I would.
I really liked his hat! And it looked simple to make myself, so I decided to take my chances... my aunt owns a sewing machine and is always willing to let me use it so that's great. Generic fabric for such a small project is always going to be relatively cheap.
Other than that, jeans aren't hard to get. I own several pairs anyway, go figure. Some sort of plaid-pattern pants would be better for his more recent look (and I used to own a red pair, but they were a bit too flashy, so I don't anymore...) but they aren't necessary. He's often seen wearing his own band merch, and guess who has one such shirt? Me! :-D
He's got this iconic orange and yellow jacket but ONE it's too hot for that right now (Australian summer kicks my ass) and TWO I don't have that level of sewing skill. He's seen without it anyways lol. Maybe next time.
My cosplay...
...as it turns out, I had too much fun to take good photos. (>_>).
My aunt had taken "help me with this hat" to mean "make it for me" and only showed up the morning of to hand it over, so I didn't end up taking a mirror selfie...and then never had a good opportunity to!
My aunt told me she made the horns uneven on purpose. I didn't have the heart to tell her they shouldn't be uneven lol
I had fun and made friends at the con, so that's all that matters. Hooray! read my blog post about it here.
