Woah, long time no post

So... approximately 11 days from now I will be in Japan. We are leaving from here and the 19th, and should arrive in Tokyo on the 20th. I'm going to be there for a week, visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, and Akita. Let's just say I'm pretty psyched. Expect a full report and a ton of pictures when I get back

Okay, HOW did you make that Greedling shirt and also please tell me you're not going to JAFAX wearing that this year or I swear to god I'm not going because that is totally the costume I am attempting and you are soooo much better than I am at this cosplay thing. :[ Also, that was an amazing run on sentence.

[toyo_kun]

I used the NewLook 6759 pattern with minor alterations to hold it shut and make it look right.

And no worries, I wont be able to make it to JAFAX this year since I'll be in Japan. So you will be able to rock Ling all by yourself! Just be aware, no one will recognize you. One person all day recognized me, and that was someone from the MSA that I told about it beforehand. I thought having an Edward with a fluffy hood would make people realize who I was, but it totally didn't help. People kept giving me weird looks when they asked for Ed's picture and I posed as well. -.-;;

Also, nice icon, I need a Ling one!

Really? XD Here and I thought I'd be awesome. I'll have a Ran Fan with me, and potentially a Martel and a very ghetto Ed. SO WHO KNOWS. Last year, no one knew who I was either. Oh well.

TOO BAD I will miss you at JAFAX. We should probably hang out sometime not at a con, since we don't live that far away from one another. XD

And thank you! XD You can use it if you'd like. :3

[toyo_kun]

oh, well you will definitely have to take/post pics of your whole group! I have never seen a real Ran Fan cosplayer before, I'm sad I'll miss her. :(

And we should! You live in like Grand Haven or somethng, right?

*is jealous* I plan on going to Japn one day though... \o/ I like the costumes.

[toyo_kun]

thanks! :)

and I'm sure you'll make it there some day!

awesome pictures ^^

Have a wonderful time in japan!! I went in March, but I still haven't posted a post about it. I've been lazy lol
Take care!!

[toyo_kun]

Oh, you need to make that post soon! Did you have a good time?

And do you have any recommendations of things we should do/see? Surprisingly enough, we don't have our full itinerary planned yet ^^;;

[yukikumo]

I can suggest some places, but depends on what you want to do :)
I would recommend Tokyo Tower. My japanese friend told me they are planning to close it down soon and rebuild a new one in different area. But I don't know if this is 100% true

http://www.japan-guide.com/ This is a great website. It has details on price and how to get there details =)
It covers all over Japan

[toyo_kun]

Ooh, thanks, I will check out that site!

Yeah, we are already planning to visit Toyko Tower. I heard they are closing it too, so I think it's true. I heard that the buildings around it are so tall that they are interfering with its signals or something.

Have fun in Japan. XP

Your pictures are always so amusing. The 8th pic with the Gurren Lagaan flag made me lol. And I love your cosplays!

♥

[toyo_kun]

I'll try, lol.

And thanks! :)
Yes, the GL flag was epic, when Kris and I saw it we were like "omg, awesome!!!!" and of course I rushed to take a picture! XD

[syunikissd]

...so how was your trip?

[toyo_kun]

it was AWESOME!!! :D I'm going to make a picture post soon, I've just been busy, and there is like almost 500 pictures, so it'll take a while. I probably wont end up posting all of them on lj though.

Last week we went to Chicago for the HP exhibit and then had a party for the movie and stuff, so I need to post my pictures from that too. :[
