Yuzuki Yukari | Vocaloid 3 (Re-take / Re-shoot)

Went to our rest house for a Christmas Vacation and did a re-take/re-shoot for my Yuzuki Yukari Cosplay. I know I suck big time during my 1st cosplay. Well there's always a room for improvement, right?

 

 

VOCA★FUSION

Promotion and awareness of VOCALOID to the Filipino Community. To showcase the software, the artists and the community around VOCALOID. A fusion of different art forms combined into one. Music, Dance, Crafts and Visual Arts. All of these in one through VOCALOID.

Function room 1 of SMX will be have lots of booths with amazing merchandise (you can find stuff for cosplay, fashion, vocaloid and lots more!), lots of activities for guests and performances from bands and Pinoy Utaites.

Apparently, I wasn't able to cosplay my favorite Vocaloid character which is Yuzuki Yukari >.< The reason? I am lack of sleep and was too lazy to pack up my things >.< There were so many vocaloid cosplayers and con-goers as well though the entrance ticket for the said event was quite pricey. I was quite tired but still, I enjoyed the event even though I wasn't able to cosplay my favorite Vocaloid character.

I saw one Yukari cosplayer and thought that it was Ouji Hime's model. Well, I was kinda dismayed in Ouji Hime's commissioned props for Yukari. The props looks like it was rushed and I am not satisfied with their service in props making compared to the props of their model (Yukari).

Yuzuki Yukari | Vocaloid 3

I wasn't really planning on cosplaying Yuzuki Yukari for my debut but I have no choice since I was very excited to get into the cosplay world. I didn't enjoyed that much during my debut because (first) I was very nervous and don't know how to react if someone asks to take a picture with me, (second) my shoes is killing my feet and (lastly) it was freaking hot while wearing Yukari's jacket so I sat on the bench most of the time. Will try to cosplay this once again, hoping that I'll improve in cosplaying her and also try my best to have a decent with this character FTW

A lot of people aren't familiar with her. Well, that is because she just recently came out in Vocaloid 3. Here's a little info about her in order for you to lighten up about her and in case you've been living under a rock for a while now xD

Yuzuki Yukari (結月ゆかり) is the first Vocaloid developed for Vocaloid3 by AH-Software and Vocalomakets. 

Her design is based on a rabbit, a play on words with her name.

Yuzuki Yukari is aimed at the producers themselves rather than a general Vocaloid fandom release. She was also made capable to be bought with many different other software bundles, including both her Voiceroid and Vocaloid versions and the software suite Music Maker MX. In 2012, merchandise of both her and SF-A2 miki began to sell including mugs and T-shirts.

Yuzuki Yukari Costume Set

Well I'm kinda disappointed with Fantasy Sheep because it took us (Ouji Hime and me) a month before we we're able to receive our order because of their slow response on our e-mail. Aside from that, our order arrived with something missing from the costume set: 1 wig and the small dress (for me). Ouji Hime told the Fantasy Sheep customer service that there are some missing items on what we ordered then Fantasy Sheep told Ouji Hime that they would just refund for the missing items but Ouji Hime insisted that we don't need a refund and we needed the missing items badly. And so I needed to wait for another week and hopefully NOT another month before that missing dress of mine arrives.

Aside from being disappointed with Fantasy Sheep's service, I was kinda shocked when Ouji Hime told me that I still have a remaining balance of Php2,350 for the Yukari Costume Set and the shoes. At first, I thought that the Php3,500 that I've sent them was the full payment for the Yukari Costume,but sadly, it wasn't. It was only just a partial payment for the Yukari Costume xD A lesson learned from me, I guess. Well I'm gonna stop ranting now since there's nothing I could do but to pay for the remaining balance that I have and just wait for the dress to arrive as I was hoping that I would be able to wear it for this saturday's event in TamaMatsuri. Well I guess its still not my time to shine lololol

Posing Tutorial: Music Characters (Vocaloid)

You can change the feel of your photos with just a few small changes!
Here are some poses to help you "feel the music"<3

The vocaloids all share a strong connection to "music". So those dressing as them naturally want to convey the image of "sound" right? Here we'd like to introduce 6 simple prop poses to make your costume come alive! If you're portraying a character related to music these will fit to a tee, so give them a try! They'll work for all sorts of situations.

Hatsune Miku Kimono

Okay, as I've said in my previous post in Otaku Valentines 2012, I've got my commissioned Hatsune Miku Kimono from Devangelic Shop. It took me at least 2 weeks to wait in order for it to be done. I might say that I'm not 100% satisfied with the outcome but hey at least they tried their best in making it look alike. Now here's the picture that I ordered from them.
