Cosvision!

Hellouh, my dears!

This is my Cosvision con raport, and that's why in English, since I've decited to write my con raports this way, so everyone can read them.

Sooo, Cosvision was a nice con, and I attended as Byakuya on Saturday and as Shiki on Sunday.

First of all, I took a lot of stress about my Byakuya cosplay. With these dead hands of mine and very little amount of freetime I was still sewing at 1am on Saturday. But, I almost made it. My costume is missing the sword Byakuya has, but no worries, I will make it when the summer break comes, and when I have time.  Still, the Saturday morning went just fine, thou I was a little nervous how to do my hair, but it turned out good enough.

We had a Inuyasha cosplay group on Saturday and it was amazing. We had 10 Inu cosplayers (Well, in Tracon there were like 15 of us, but oh well) and, I they ask me, mostly because of that we were asked to attend to Group Hall Cosplay competition. (8 of us attended) There were many people in our group who hadn't competed before, so I think that was a good experiement for them also. I liked that as well, since it was my first time in Hall cosplay competition. and of course, I felt like th effort I had put in my costume has not been wasted :3 Of course the others too, our group was filled with awesome poeple <3

After that, nothing really happened, I just hang out with my girlfriend, AngelOfMusic, cause every programme I wanted to attend to was over already. We met Kaname thou. AngelOfMusic was too shy to ask a picture with him (Since she was sitting in a wheelchair and all) But it went well, and Kaname turned out to be a really nice and warm person. If I weren't fallen for AngelOfMusic already I could really fall for him, even we talked for... like 4 minutes altogether.

On Sunday I was wearing my Shiki cosplay, and testing a new wig AngelOfMusic borrowed me (Thou, I like the old one better)

It was a bit exiting to see how people reacted to AngelOfMusic sitting in a wheelchair, but everyone seemed to be really nice about it. Even Kaname. I was pushing AngelOfMusic on the hallway, just after Kaname's Q&A and then I feel a tap on my shoulder, and there's Kaname smiling at me and being like "shh". Then he took the other one of AngelOfMusic's wheelchair's handels and I understood what he was doing and stepped back. So he starts pushing AngelOfMusic. It took a few second from her to notice it, but then she heard my giggeling and Kaname said something and then she went all red and was like "Spitaalinen, what are you doing, what are you doing!" Kaname just laughs there and then gives her back to me with a smile and "Take care!"
I just love that man.
He. Is. Awesome!

Buut, about Cosvision itself:
It was a nice con. I couldn't attend to many programmes, and skipped even cosplay competitions. I were at Kaname's and Miyu's Q&A and honestly, they had two really interesting guests of honor, and they had only hour for their Q&A. There were some questions already there, and they took most of the time. They had time for three or four questions from the audience. It kinda succed, but I got to ask my forever question to all famous cosplayers "Do you have any cosplay idols?" I tried to be smart and ask in Japanese but just when the Q&A started my hand got a pain attack, and I was curled up in a small ball, almost crying, so Angel of music gave me a strong pain killer, so I was a bit out of it back then. 
The other full programme I was in was in Kairi's preparing a performance. It was a fun and nice lecture, but as an actress (or what do you call us half professionals) I knew most of the things we did there. We still had a lot of fun!

 The place where Cosvision was held, Logomo, was in a nice place. It was just next to train station, althou there was very little placies to eat, except for Logomo's own restaurant which was kinda expencive. Thou there was plenty if you were willing to walk a little, and one service station was pretty near. 
The place itself was nice and there was a lot of space as well. Th emain hall was maybe a bit too empty, but oh well, it didn't bug me that much at all. There was a lot of good placies for photoshoot, and different sceneries as well.

 
And what would a con be without the random moments. When we drove there, we stopped to take a little break, and then we realised how funny it looked like, Byakuya calmly walking in the parking plot of some random design market.
I broke my other sandal, realized how handy those sleeves were, when you use them a pockets, and noticed that my Vampire Knight cosplay's pants are too big for me nowdays. 

Alltogether Cosvision was a memorable con!
Thank you everyone for sharing it with me!

  1. Oh I want to kick myself for not getting a photo of the whole InuYasha group on Saturday! Dx Most of early Saturday I was there watching you guys gathering a bigger and bigger group (I was that samurai guy asking your group a few times) and when I thought you all were there that's exactly when I had to go photoshoot a friend's cosplay. I just thought that I'd probably find you all later but lolnope, never saw you again and yeah, a bit sad about that but oh well. :( It's just that InuYasha was the first manga I started reading/collecting so it has a special place in my heart and it was amazing to see such a big group with even some rarer characters cosplayed! <3 I hope this group will be at another con in the future, maybe I wouldn't do the same mistake twice..
    Oh, and cool Byakuya cos! I must mention that Byakuya was actually the first cosplay I ever wore to a con back in 2010, ah, memories. I would really need to repair/upgrade this cosplay and wear him out again and try to get a proper photoshoot.

    Oh, and Kaname is indeed awesome!!
