Hey everyone~

I'm the captain of the SSC Crew

As a group. We do a lot of otome games cosplay. and we still do. Except when it comes to One Piece, I'm on my own really. None of them are interested in the series. Which i believe they're missing out, plus it makes me sad. But that's fine, i rather do it on my own then forcing OP on them.

But as a side but main thing. I STILL want to recruit a One Piece Straw hat Pirate crew. it's like my mission. lol

We only cosplay One Piece for Anime Expo, so it's once every year. Different version every year. I usually cosplay Nami and sometimes Luffy. They're my two OP characters that i go back and forth with. So whoever interested in joining will get to pick 2 characters they want to jump back and forth when they want to. All version will be "interesting" looking. Not your regular crew clothes. For example. I've been doing Unlimited Adventure OP, upcoming is Unlimited Cruise, I've already done Strong World Mafia Luffy. Such and such...So if you're interested in joining. please be aware that stuff we do won't be easy. but hey! Challenges are fun right? and the ending result are always worth it.

Anyone interested in joining?
If you are. Please contact me through PM. ^_^ :)

 Another live report written by musicJAPANplus world team member!
Waiting Hall for MUCC.
Oct. 4, St Petersburg, Russia

Read the whole article here!

It was nothing to be going in that nasty and dull day of the 4th of October in St Petersburg. However, the hearts of MUCCERS were beating harder from early Sunday morning. The famous j-rock band went on the North Capital of Russia to perform their live show of Solid Sphere 2009!
The venue's title was also meaningful. The only one thought warmed fans standing on the stairs of "Zal Ozhidaniya" club (literally "Waiting Hall") which is located in the former Warsaw railway station building - in that cold and rainy evening they could have the opportunity to see j-rock gods with their own eyes and to show their love and devotion. In behalf of it they were ready to spend long days and hours outside the venue. 

Hi, i was wondering if/where you could get Jmagazines like kera, G&L bible, & Gosu rori mooks in Guangzhou, China, or Hong Kong?
thanks

i dont know if anybody will really want my art but
it's wroth a try (^____^)

But I thought I'd share!

The day has come, my fellow poupees... Gangsta Ken, owned by my bff Brittney has finally achieved his lifelong dream of ridin' his low rida all the way to the top. The top of the suteki charts, that is.

BUT he couldn't have done it without YOU LOVELIES!!! So give yourselves a big hearty pat on the back for a job well done.
( SEE THE HANDSOME BACHELOR FOR YOURSELF )
And not a moment too soon either! Poor ken is in the doll's category. so unfortunately he'll be deleted along with his girlfriend Princess Lovely Mutant Barbie, owned by me. So tragic. Truly a romeo & juliet-esque ending for the couple.

Keep on ridin', Ken, keep on ridin. And while you're at it, do a drive-by on katherine's shop please.

it's like a jungle out there
sometimes I wonder
how I keep from goin' unda

^Ken's favorite song. he listens to it while he shaves his soul patch^

Forget the salarymen, Japan's new 'herbivore' generation of males believe that life is far more important than work

Yasuo Takeuchi makes an improbable radical. Skinny, wearing jeans, a striped sports shirt and a baby blue cardigan, he is fidgety and talks in a near whisper. He is 33, works for a major publisher in Tokyo and inspired a label now applied to a new generation of Japanese men. He is the archetypal soshokukei danshi, “herbivorous male” or Ojo-man “girlie man”.

Herbivores are shy and quiet. They seek the friendship of women and spurn aggressive dating. They are thrifty and abhor consumerism. They like quiet evenings in with friends rather than drinking till they vomit in the izakaya bars of Tokyo. They are the antithesis of the macho Japanese salarymen, on whose long-suffering shoulders modern Japan was built.
( In every Japanese convenience store are special sections devoted to men’s cosmetics, eyebrow shapers, packets of disposable wipes for dealing with sweat and body odor, skin whitener. The herbivores may not buy beer and cars but they spend on keeping themselves odourless, hairless and pale. Their clothes come from cheap, fashionable chains such as Uniqlo. This week, Shinya Yamaguchi, 23, a fashion designer, launches his latest collection of skirts and lacy tops — all aimed at men. Many of Japan’s younger male celebrities, bands such as Arashi and actors like Eita, Teppei Koike and Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, project an effeminate, herbivorous look. )

Long article is long.

Here's another article from Japan Times for your reading pleasure :)

( But are women becoming like men as well? Are they more manly than they used to be? )

I've been monitoring this comm for a while, and more often than not, it seems like it's nothing but sales. So I thought I might share some start-to-finish photos of my current cosplay. If this isn't allowed, mods may delete.

I don't know how many people like or much less have even heard of X/1999, but I just finished my Sumeragi Subaru cosplay. I'm doing his outfit from the 16th Volume where he fights Seishirou. Please forgive the crappy quality of the photos. ^_^;;

TV personality Becky, 25, and actor Ryuta Sato, 29, were named as having the “Best Smile of the Year 2009” by the Japan Dental Association during a ceremony on Sunday which was “Good Teeth Day.”

When Sato heard of his win, he joked, “Since I entered the celeb world, I’ve always wanted to win a “Something of the Year” award, so I’m really happy.” Becky was happy to hear that the prize for the award was a trip to Korea, exclaiming happily, “I’m so interested in Korea right now. I’m going to go buy tons of Korean goodies!”

The pair, who have worked together before, complimented one another, with Becky saying how happy she was to win the award together with “Ryuta-kun.” “He’s got such a powerful and bright smile.”

Sato, too, sung the praises of his co-winner, saying, “Becky is really perfect; she’s someone I look up to.”

i don't like her hair here

 After seeing all of the other art posts today, I decided to jump on the bandwagon. I haven't done digital art in a while, so I don't have a lot of examples right now. Anyway, I was thinking maybe 250 ribbons for a waist-up shot, and 500 ribbons for a full body? They'd be colored, of course.
