Description

Fate that connected us
Becomes undone and disappears into everyday life
Goodbye, my loved one... This is the end
Now we look go on without looking back :rose:


:bulletred: About the cosplay:
Last weekend was VOCA★FUSION, and since some friends and I were invited to be guests/hosts, Kat ~moonlightflight and I thought to do a cosplay based on our favorite Vocaloid song, Just Be Friends.

We made the flower wreaths ourselves, trying our best to make it as accurate to the original illustrations. I took progress shots of my process. You may see my process here:
Vocaloid JBF Flower Wreath + Ciel lenses, etc.Jin's Flower Wreath ProcessSometime last May, Kat :devmoonlightflight: and I cosplayed our favorite Vocaloid song, "Just Be Friends".

Their outfits seem simple at a glance, but that actually makes things more complicated sometimes. Hahah. Despite Luka's dress looking like something you could probably find in a mall, Charmie :devyaoiangel14: made the dress from scratch exactly as it looked in the artwork, just for Kat :devmoonlightflight:. Kat and I also did our best  with the part of their outfits that had the most amount of detail (which also happens to be our favorite parts) — the flower wreaths.

I have some pictures of the progress


:bulletred: About Just Be Friends:
Personally, I was initially drawn to the song because of the art style in the video, and then I liked the catchy, seemingly upbeat melody of it. Later on I noticed the lyrics and I was like, OUCH. Right in the feels :pointr: [link] </3

Nonetheless it is a great song with heartbreakingly beautiful lyrics, and I encourage you give it a listen if you haven't. It spawned a lot of covers, a lot of which I also enjoyed. One of my favorites is this male version by Rapbit and Zebra :pointr: [link]

:bulletred: About the photo:
Going back to the photo — It looks like it was shot in a studio but this is actually just taken during the event! Erving always works his photography and lighting magic for us. :D And as somber as Kat and I look in this photo, that's about how crazy happy and out-of-character we were that day when we weren't posing for pictures. :lol:

:iconmoonlightflight: Kat — Megurine Luka
:iconbehindinfinity: Jin — Luka's ex-boyfriend (haha)

:bulletred: A little extra fluff:
It was a nice little vacation to just be able to hang out with friends, and also with Singaporean guests :iconjesuke: and :iconviospace: last Sunday. Chilling out at Vocaloid Manor was the best, hahah! We even got a really sweet package and letter from friends in Indonesia. :heart: I'll write more about the event later on. I owe you guys a blog post as always! But I've got some projects to finish first right now!

Until then, you may check out my Facebook page for little updates :facebook: facebook.com/Jin.behindinfinity :) I've got some posts about VOCA★FUSION there too!
