It's fun to see some of the folks we "grew up" with in the cosplay scene getting hitched. It just goes to show that no matter how dedicated you are to cosplay, there's someone in the world who will be just as devoted to you. Congrats to PikaBelleChu! Of course, once they have kids, it's a sure bet you cancatch em all playing with her world record toy collection.

11/14/2009 -What could be better than having breakfast with the girls from Morning Musume? How about getting to share an interview with their fans here on the Lab? Thanks to our West Coast connection for their diligence in putting it together. Great Job!


11/2/2009 7:25:00 PM - Cosplayers open famous London crossing

November 2nd was an exciting day for London, as its famous Oxford Circus crossing was re-opened with a new design. Based on the Shibuya crossing in Tokyo, the new design allows pedestrians to cross the street diagonally, getting rid of the typical people-crush many tourists experience when they visit the landmark. A team of British cosplayers were asked to take part in the official opening ceremony - characters including Sailor Moon, Mio and Sheryl Nome pulled a giant red ribbon in the shape of an 'X' over the crossing to mark the occasion. The event was accompanied by the sound of taiko drums from famous Japanese musician Joji Hirota, and the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, banged a giant gong to open the crossing. In a country where cosplay is mostly unknown by the wider public, this was a landmark occasion for UK cosplayers. The ceremony was organised by Westminster Council, Cross Media and the Grand Cosplay Ball. The Grand Cosplay Ball is an international cosplay event taking place in London on November 29th.

The Third Colossus by Isaac Jones

11/1/2009 -It's a rare treat to find a character that isn't often cosplayed. Take this amazing costume creation from Shadow of the Colossus by Isaac Jones. Of course, having a great costume is just the beginning. Incorporating different camera angles and lighting can really capture the creative energy. Hope this give you some inspiration.


Tsunku Goes Beyond Rhythm Heaven
Tsunku Goes Beyond Rhythm Heaven

10/28/2009 -Hello! Project's producer Tsunku already has quite a following when it comes to household names like Morning Musume in Japan. But his efforts have extended to another popular music-themed genre of gaming entitled Rhythm Heaven which I found addictive even before it arrived in the States. The Lab's West Coast crew were a part of a select group of folks present during this summer's Anime Expo anime convention when Tsunku shared his thoughts with us. Enjoy!

Japan Wants New Home for Anime
Japan Wants New Home for Anime

5/21/2009 -Long famed for its cars and high-tech goods, the world's number two economy has stepped up an official campaign to promote its cultural offerings, from Tokyo city wear to video games and award-winning animation films.

Prime Minister Taro Aso -- an avowed fan of Japan's manga comics -- has thrown his enthusiastic support behind the drive to earn hearts, minds and hard cash by promoting the soft power of "cool Japan" overseas.

His conservative government has earmarked 11.7 billion yen (118 million dollars) for a museum on Japanese cartoon art and pop culture to be built in Tokyo that one English-language daily has dubbed the "anime shrine". [source:continue reading]
