Anyone going and planning on cosplaying? I'm still undecided. Apparently there's a costume contest on October 12 but it's limited to 20 entries only.

They don't list any guidelines. Just "Halloween Costume Contest". I wish they'd specify though since I'd rather not stick around for sign up at 4pm only to be told I don't meet some requirement. I don't even know how to ask them since their fb page doesn't accept messages!

Going to the event on Saturday and concert + whatever on Sunday.
Was gonna bring picture related if I can make in time.

eh, my outfit really isn't contest worthy, so I'll probably just watch and see who else is gonna enter. From experience though, heavy cosplay + concert = heat stroke, so if your gonna cosplay and go to the concert, probably should do a lighter outfit.
probably common sense, but just wanted to remind.

Not sure about NY, but for the LA concert there appears to be a separate "expo" portion that's Halloween themed. There will be a couple events along with food and goods for sale. I'm still not sure how "big" they expect the expo to be but it's definitely more than I was expecting.

Pretty sure I'm not the only one, miku's page shared one girl's progress photo. If you see me I've got a few light up details but some I might turn off to conserve battery until the costume contest. I'm trying to do the two sets of wings and I haven't yet decided how much I want to wear the large pair. I want to do some dance covers and they are very not suitable for that plus have the concert on saturday. Probably a good idea to just wear them sunday though I'm still a little indecisive. I bought a bunch of little light up pumpkins from taobao I want to hang around myself too.

>> No.7849668

>>7849602
I'd say just wear the large pair for the costume contest, especially since they might get in the way/hit other people during the concert.

I hope I'll be able to see your cosplay for the contest, although I'm not sure if I want to stick around since I don't think there'll be enough events going on between when the concert ends on Sunday and when the costume contest starts to prevent me from getting bored. I really hope they'll put up some guidelines though since I'd like to know if I can enter (non-Crypton vocaloid cosplay).

>> No.7853295

>>7853258
We definitely need more cosplayers it seemed like there was only 3 in indonesia!
I used styrofoam balls I painted turquoise as the base, and removed a light from a dollar store bracelet (no idea how long the batteries are going to last) that I 'shoved' into the foam. Then I applied pieces from an older pigtail to the ball using a method (sort of, I didn't make a cavity underneath it because it's not sitting over anything) from an old sailor moon wig tutorial of making her odango. You stub a small pigtail of the hair with hot glue, cut space for it and glue it in the ball, then sort of pull it down to the center and glue it to the bottom. After it's mostly covered with that you cover the dimple and glue on the bottom leftover by wrapping and glueing a separate strand. Then I glued the bow to the exposed LED and added an alligator clip so I don't ruin my good tails. Kind of hard to explain so I'll probably take progress pics when I make more in case I want to take this to actual cosplay contests.

Halloween miku anon here. I'm kinda conflicted I feel like I might've gathered too much fabric for the triangle piece but it's too late to turn back now. It'll at least contribute to a lot of poof when I get to the orange side parts. I used a full 3 yards for this piece, not sure if I should make the side orange pieces 1 1/2 yards or less because they would be a bit longer than the petticoat and do need at least some gathering. It'd be playing it safe to go 1 yard... What do you guys think?

>>7860905

You're using an A-line petticoat underneath a rectangle skirt (the beige triangles), that's why the thing you made looks weird. A-line pettis don't have enough poof in the hips to fill out your rectangle skirt.

For the orange part and the black top, I suggest you adapt a Madoka Kaname pattern. Make sure each orange panel is tapered so that it's narrower at your waist and wider at the hem end. You might also want to interface the orange panels if you have the time, otherwise the parts that fall beyond the petticoat are going to be very limp and sad.

in Japan the appeal was having a synthesized vocalist for those who didn't have a real one. People latched onto that and the Japanese, being as collaborative and creative as they are, started churning out songs and then making character designs and animations and whatnot. Miku spread like wildfire. It later spread enough that it became commercialized and less public oriented and some of the original fan producers didn't like that and left the scene. By less public oriented I mean that now companies were pushing what they wanted to become popular and profiting off of the work of others (ie. Sega and the Project Diva games; they got permission but for some that was seen as selling out) where in the past popularity was decided solely by the masses and not so much as companies shoving things in your face til you loved them. A lot of people don't care that it's commercialized and just want Miku. Think of it as the old guard being kind of hipster if you have to.

in America... because it's Japanese and kawaii and shit yo

Different anon here.
I was in the 5 or 6th in the line at the gate, so I was able to reach the shops really early.

You're right though, they went full retard. For the official miku store booth, they had ONE fucking point of sale system which is a FUCKING IPAD, USING WIFI (or 3g, who knows) and that square card reader thing. I don't know about the GSC store but they probably had a similar setup. The line was so long and it was moving so slow; I really felt bad for the people who had to wait under the sun and find out shit were sold out. This isn't a neighborhood flea market, and they really need to step up their operation management.

I got to the gate around 8:30 yesterday, so it was still a 3.5hr wait until open, but I got to meet and talk to really nice Japanese fans, western fans, and a couple older folks (parents). It's much cooler in the morning and everyone in a really good mood overall.

They also changed the after party halloween dance location. It was supposed to be at the pumpkin dome, but the dome can only fit up to 50 people at a time... what the hell were they thinking?

There weren't that many people there, so all the guys were too gay to cheer for the others.

I was annoyed that the ugliest of the bunch won, but I was amused how Machigerita just didn't give a fuck and picked her anyway. Could have been a pity prize, though.

I actually gave up on finishing it for the con! I didn't want to half ass parts and screw over a lot of hard prep work/ruin it. People took a ton pics of me in my crappy closet cosplay anyways. (probably because there weren't many cosplayers) I'll probably finish it and have a photoshoot out (thinking of making a cosplay pv for a halloweem song by t.komine as well) by the end of the month so feel free to stalk my youtube.com/user/superstarhollyann
Plus the links to my tumblr and deviantart are all there.

On a side note I'm so mad at my phone I befriended Snow Miku (same one in the contest) and she gave me her number but my phone didn't save it. If you read this snow miku please call/text/friend me I know I gave you my info.

Did anyone else get interviewed by mtv japan btw I'm curious? My whole group got interviewed shortly after we arrived on saturday.

The whole con was super friendly I don't think there was any stuck up bitchiness and death glares that runs rampant when people all cosplay the same character in most cons. Even though 90% of the cosplays were miku. Hooray for Miku.

So I just realized that Miku concerts are the kind of thing that because they feature an actual live band, we will never get Vocaloid songs written for Trance, UK-Hardcore, and electronic genres in between that rely on almost completely electronic sounds. That said, I was quite pleasantly surprised when I heard dubstep during the concert yesterday. I do not know the name of that track since I'm mostly into the really old songs that were popular when Miku first came out.

I really wish they would have the names of the tracks on screen when they play them, though. Heard a lot of things that I really liked.

There was a guy who was crying when it was all over. I bet he was very emotional, he was just standing, staring into the center stage, with lights illuminating all the dust in the air and a single teardrop running down his cheek.

As for the expo, well... If you're not in line to buy stuff then there's not much else to do. Mikuexpo was unexpectedly linecon, I had the complete wrong idea. I didn't expect it to be packed, and I imagined sellers booths would be all over the place rather than a single contained area.

so the Candy Addicts Miku that won second place was my sister, I'm not gonna white knight her because I do realize she is a fucking hambeast, but I just wanna say that all she wanted was to meet Machigerita, she didn't expect to win. I thought she might win something because of bias on Machige's part but I was actually surprised she won 2nd.

So the concert(s) were AMAZING. Though with better planning, I would have realized that the two days were the same concert instead of buying two tickets for two days I would have just purchased one VIP pass and saved a few bucks. I would have done the Halloween event all day Sat and VIP concert on Sunday, instead of Concert, Halloween event on Sunday and Concert again.
If anyone wants to know the difference between the two concerts, there were only two I noticed.
First, there was no glitch in the sound system on Sunday. Saturday the technicians (I assume) started the wrong song or at the wrong position(?) and it was stopped immediately. People boo’d.
Second, during “I'll Miku-Miku You”, the lyrics were in romanji on Sunday, instead of Japanese characters.
Is there any way we can collaborate and get a setlist going?
