Kaizen Matsuri

Japan Culture Festival

Today i went to Kaizen Matsuri which was a japan culture festival event held by SMA N 5 Solo. I always looking forward for this kind of festival because of the food stands, band competition, and especially the girls THE COSPLAYER.
The most interesting about cosplay is we could see our favourite characters from manga or anime even from video games come alive. Back to Kaizen Matsuri, i've saw a plenty of cosplayer from many kind of characters and actually they were pretty good. I took photos from cosplayer who really caught my attention.
First one was Sasori from Naruto. I like it because the costume, the wig, even the person were really perfect to became Sasori. Well at least in my opinion ~LOL~.

The second was character from Monster Hunter. The costume detail simply outstanding. No wonder it took about six months to finished the costume. The strongest point was the sword. It looked like there was some kind of dragon scale on the sword, not to mentioned there were also horns (or tusks?) too on it.

Next, actually i did not knew what was the character from but, the costume itself pretty amazing. Full body knight armor in blue. One thing for sure this costume was done perfectly fine. The detail in helmet, sword, also the breastplate looked great too with the emblem. Good job.

You wear hijab but want to do cosplay? Do not worry. Maybe this cosplay will do perfectly fine on you. Meet Lacus Clyne from Gundam SEED Destiny cosplay with hijab. Very creative.

Last but not least, this cosplay would be your solution if you had a very tight budget for your costume. One black long hair wig and a long white dress (?), put it on together then ...

In the festival today, several guest stars were performed there but my most favourite act was from an all-girl band called Paper Doll. Girls with music instrument never failed to amaze me. They were played two song from japanese all-girl band, SCANDAL, which were Namida no Regret and Shoujo S. They did well on the stage and the crowd sang together with them. I'm looking forward to see their performance again and also they mentioned that they had changed their format from dance cover group into band (?).

Well, Kaizen Matsuri was pretty fun and i can't wait for the next similar event in the future.
