I was actually kinda worried about bringing all the musical instruments......it was a rather huge keyboard and also heavy electric guitar to be lugged there, and also there's the keyboard stand.
It's no easy feat bringing these to the convention center.
Good thing i have the entire team to help me out. (thanks guys, you are all lifesavers!)
Usually i wouldn't bring all these to events (i tend to cosplay more 'easy-less-prop-not-so-many-things-to-take-care-i-want-to-keep-my-hands-free' type of cosplays. LOL)
But since Himawari is leaving soon, and it'd be difficult to have a shoot with her in the near future, we were like...OH WHAT THE HELL YOU GUYS HELP ME LUG THOSE INSTRUMENTS LA I BRING....LOL
It was as little bit of a confusion at first (for me) because i've never really done any shoots with other photogs that much before. I have no idea how they work, so i just went with the flow.
Himawari - Reiji Kotobuki
Kas (my distant-senior from college) - Ai Mikaze.
We were all cosplaying characters from the game
Uta no Prince
Sama : Debut.
I originally wanted to take Camus's slot, but seeing that i'm not familiar with the cello (and i do not have one), i eyed on Ranmaru. Ranmaru is a little bit like Adam Lambert IMHO.
He is punkish, his make up and everything....and his songs...it's so rockish! (so totally my type!)
Well, he IS a little grumpier, but he is SOOOOOO CUTE in the game. (especially when he is with Masato.....LOL)
As for the event itself, i only bought Day 01 tickets.
This was the first time, i have NEVER spent any $$$ on doujins during an event. Most of the stuffs on sale were button badges and bookmarks.
Also, there weren't any fandom of mine which was on sale. Though, i almost spent on a Nyanko jacket, but seeing that it wasn't my size (XL..T^T WHY YOU SO BIG?!?!) i had to put it back.....
Also, i apologise if i couldn't recognise anyone during the event. Whenever i wear contact lenses, my vision tend to be reduced by 30%....
1st day cosplay really gave me arm training from all those instrument lugging. But it was really fun! It was in fact my first time posing with an electric guitar.
Many thanks to my Crimson Cross-mates for being there the entire time. Love you guys lots!
and also to my UtaPri Quartet (minus Camus T^T), YOU GUYS WERE AWESOME!!!!
Kas's Ai Mikaze is so CUUUUTEE!!!!! (And then damn yeng also lor!!)
Himawari's Reiji is so Kira kira!!! her chachacha (maracas) was so fun to play with, and i shall forever salute you for being able to complete your costume in less than a day.......*kaotaos*
Here are some pics of our UtaPri ★ Debut group.

More photos will be posted up on my DA, FB or Cure account. I haven't had much time to edit it because of my current work, photoshoot preparations and also my freelancing wedding animation.
Day 02 - Cosplay Izaya Orihara of Durarara!
THE EMB IS BACK!!! I couldn't express how much love i have for this character.
It just comes so natural and i totally enjoyed it.
Also, to add sweet and sugar to everything, Xanthe WAS MY SHIZUO!!!
I forever happy...my OTP is fulfilled. But she was a less angry/grumpy Shizuo..haha..
It was much fun cosplaying with her, and it was MY VERY FIRST TIME AFTER ALL THESE WHILE TO BE ABLE TO PAIR UP WITH HER.....FIRST TIME AFTER ALL THESE TIME!!!
Tsu was Kida Masaomi. I totally enjoyed looking at the photos from those 'running-you-chase-me-then-i-chase-you' comic strip. I had no idea what they were doing, so when i was told to run, i just...er..ran..LOL..
then after i saw the preview shots in the camera, ONLY i knew what these people were doing..hahahaha...
OH and one memorable thing that happened during the shoot was being locked in the emergency exit stairway...
Somehow, Jia found a stairway, which was quite suitable for our theme shot.
We didn't full shut the door tight, first was to let the aircond in, 2ndly so that we could exit from there.
So halfway shooting, Usagi(Hexlord) opened the door and we were all like 'HEEYYY!!! FINALLY I SEE YOU!!!! HELLO!!!! *waves*'..then badum...the door shut tight.
We were all clawing the door because there WERE NO DOOR KNOBS for the emergency exit door.
We sort of...panicked a little (i think), and then we started to hunt for a way out...
GOOD THING there's the basement exit....after that we were like...NO MORE...LEt'S GO ROOFTOP AND SHOOT.
so yeah, basically that was one of the most 'memorable' incident that happened..hahha...
Here are some preview shots of our...running around....^^;;;
I~~Za~~~YA~~~KUN~~~~~
By the way, here's a trivia, at the below pic, what resemblance do you guys see?? hehe....

Had totally awesome fun during Animangaki 2012. We shall wait for our Shinra to come down from Penang, and well...maybe after that we'll plan a shoot for our Durarara!! Team.
I'm still trying to get Michiru to cosplay Anri or Celty though...but..she doesn't seem to show any interest in this series...T^T
Oh well.....^^;;
