Cosplay Holic

Singaporean Cosplayer Jesuke is among the special guests listed for the first Philippine Vocaloid event: VocaFusion!

The event will be held at the SMX Convention Center on the 20th of May 2012 from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm.

Utaite’s Min-chan and That as well as Vocaloid composer Rerulili will also be attending the event. For more information, please check out VocaFusion’s Facebook Page. Thanks to Enjelicious for the news!

Kuronuma Sawako is a sweet and timid girl who is often misunderstood by her classmates because of her resemblance to Sadako from The Ring. As a result, rumors began to spread that Sawako could actually see ghosts and even place curses on people. However, when her idol, Kazehaya Shota spoke to her, everything changed, and she tries her best in making friends just like she always dreamed of.

I realize this is Miura Haruma and Tabe Mikako from the official live-action movie of Kimi ni Todoke, but I think it could still be considered cosplay, wouldn’t you agree? Besides, after I saw the movie, I knew I had to feature them, even if I didn’t like the ending very much.

I hope you guys like the new layout! I found this photo in Rana-anime's Blog!

胸を合わせ さぁ踊ろう
Now let's dance, our hearts connected
恋が生まれる lala
That's how love is born, lala
息を合わせ 手を重ねて
Let's match our breaths and join our hands
愛を語ろう
And tell of our love

瞳合わせ さぁ踊ろう
Now let's dance, our eyes connected
夢が生まれる ahah
That's how dreams are born, ahah
声を合わせ さぁ今こそ
We'll unite our voices, yes now is the time
歌が生まれる
That's how a song is born

We have a new layout but no new banner! How can this be?!

Well, the dark layout was straining my eyes, so this is the new, temporary layout that I wanted to try and work with. Why? Because now you can anonymously react to each and every post! Let’s face it, not everyone likes the same things, and opinions are especially diverse with cosplays! You either love it, like it, or hate it! Now you can post your reaction with a click of a mouse at the bottom of each feature in Cosplay Holic, and no one would be the wiser! You can even go back to your favorite cosplays, no matter how old the post may be, and show your support!

Have fun clicking! And thanks again to Billy for sending me this wonderful cosplay of Meiko!

I’m sorry, guys! Kurama is one of my most favorite characters, so I’ll be featuring him for Valentines' Day this year! And Atushi makes a lovely Kurama, wouldn’t you agree?

Unfortunately, something very good has come up; that is, something very good for me, but not so good with my keeping up with Cosplay Holic’s daily posts. So I’m really sorry if I miss a few days now and then, but I will continue to work hard to get through your emails. (All 150++ pending emails still waiting to be read!)

For now, Happy Valentines Day! Or Happy Singles Awareness Day! Or… Happy Hearts Day? :D Hope everyone has a great day ahead!

The first Vocaloid capable of singing in both Japanese and Korean, SeeU’s voice was provided by artist Kim Dahi of the K-pop girl band “Glam”. Her voice is light-hearted, but considered to be quite difficult to use compared to her predecessors. She made her first appearance on the 30th of August 2011, but her official release was not until the 21st of October 2011.

Cute cosplay of a brand new Vocaloid! Unfortunately, the character design reminds me too much of Miku. But maybe that’s just me?

By the way, I just got back from Hong Kong, so expect some late posts among other things going wrong in Cosplay Holic for the next few days! I apologize in advance for the trouble! Thank you so much for your patience!

Hi everyone!

This is Mei, your local cosplay fanatic. :)

Recently, I found out that viewership of Cosplay Holic has gone down significantly. I decided to do a little checking and lo and behold; I found 5 blogs copy-pasting Cosplay Holic’s content, article and photo as well as links!

I don’t know if that has anything to do with why viewership is down, but because of this discovery, I’ve disabled right-clicking for the site. I’m really sorry about that! I know some people use right-clicking to open new posts on new tabs, but I don’t know what else to do!

I’ve reported them to DMCA, but each article has to be posted link-by-link! Worse, once I take down 1 article, they’ll just copy and post 10 more!

I could just post the URLs here, but if I do that, they will get a ton of new visitors, which will in turn, get them a ton of money from AdSense and other ads posted on their blog. (And their sites are riddled with a ridiculous amount of ads! I probably accidentally clicked some of them because I was reporting them!)

Unfair isn’t it? I can’t take legal action because the photos aren’t mine, only the articles are! If you are wondering how I know a lot about the characters, I search about them on Wikipedia, read about them, then write an article with my own words.

The reason why I made a site like this is so that I can properly link back the photos to the cosplayers or the photographers since I was getting sick of all the cosplay photos that I find on the net that aren’t linked back to the cosplayers’ or photographers’ sites, giving them proper credit! But I guess my plan has backfired.

I’m not sure what to do at this point. Reporting them to DMCA one by one is more trouble that it’s worth, and it’s not as if they are stopping either.

So, if you were able to read through all that, and have an idea as to how I can make these people stop, feel free to comment! I would appreciate any help right now because… it’s really unfair, annoying, and disheartening.

Lots of Love,

Mei~
