Cosplay around the World
If you are a cosplay enthusiast, or, if you are an anime fan, or if you love the feel of being another one you like but the reality does not permit you to, or if you are just attracted by those lovely anime characters and wanna have a try, here’s something you might be interested. In this article, you can learn not only something about cosplay but also a great cosplay costume online store where you can purchase a large number of cosplay costumes in a wide range and at rather reasonable prices.
Cosplay has been popular for many years, at the very beginning, people bought costumes from mall or made by themselves, with the development of electronic business, cosplay outfits have also become available cheaply in Internet auctions. That’s why the age for cosplay is getting younger, and it’s not unusual to see parents and children taking part in cosplay events. Now that the generation who grew up on anime and manga are becoming parents, moms and dads are initiating their children into the fun of cosplay.
Participating in events held here and there throughout Japan is a good way of meeting people who enjoy dressing up in character costumes. The best-known of these events is Comic Market, held twice a year at Tokyo Big Sight. Comiket is the world’s largest marketplace for self-drawn comics, bringing together people with a fanatic fixation on a particular genre—manga, music, idol characters and so on. A lot of people doing cosplay attend too, and many of them are willing to pose for photos if you ask.
So, is cosplay something that foreign visitors can enjoy too? Cosplayers wish that people from abroad would dress up like the characters from anime in their own countries, because that would suit them. The first time, you might feel that it’s strange, but cosplay is so much fun that you’ll become hooked, so just try it!
When the three girls posed for a shot together on the street in Akihabara, numerous foreign visitors came up and asked to pose for a picture with them, or asked them where they had gotten their wigs. The girls’ lively responses reflected Rika Asahina’s comment that “cosplay is a very liberating experience.”
