We just celebrated Kotori's birthday last week, and now we celebrate Riko Sakurachi's birthday! I always had some sort of issue cosplaying Riko to be honest despite loving her as a character and her design. Can't express how happy I am that I was to cosplay her properly with this wig! Unlike a lot of my Love Live best girls, Riko was an instant favorite between her hilarity and how she felt like the best of Maki and Umi for me in many ways. Riko's wonderful singing voice, beautiful design (minus those bangs lol), and chemistry with the cast also were also things I've always loved about her. Happy birthday Riko! I wish I did you justice long ago, but better late then never. I am so cosplaying more Riko in the future.

While at CPAC, I picked up this HUGE Kuromi Plushie! It’s super cute, and super soft! i was a bit scared about buying it, but it was an authentic one! I finally have a big Kuromi doll to add to my collection, and so quickly too! Swipe to see how big it is in front of me haha - -I’ve got some more posts coming soon of other stuff from CPAC! - #anime #castlepointanimeconventiom #cpac #cpac22 #cpac2022 #castlepointanimeconvention2022 #gamer #videogames #sanrio #kuromi #sanriocollector #sanriocollection #hellokitty #hellokittycollector #hellokittycollection #hellokittycore #kuromicore #kuromicollection #kuromicollector #crunchyroll #animegirl #animegirls #kawaii #cute #plush #plushie #squishmallows (at Castle Point Anime Convention) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdLrBvYu4Pp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of my favorite cosplay photos ever. An amazing idea from Onion! It's so demure and gentle which I try to be irl lol.

KONO RIKO DA. Did you know Riko is my 2nd favorite Aquors girl? I've cosplayed her a few times and I never liked my appearance as her. Was mainly the wig as my previous ones were trash, or just hard to style. Riko has...odd hair I feel, even for Love Live. Then Nico Chuu threw out all my concerns with his work. As always. My lord, how does he do it? We may never know. Onion's work has me amazed once again! I knew Riko would be great here with the Sakura Blossoms. I used them for quite a few photos and with that hair piece (we'll talk about that...), they looked nice. I did Dia in this outfit and uh, I think my expectations were too high for this one. Those stupid thigh highs were awful and wouldn't fit me until I stretched them out and the stripes were sewn on, they mis sized my skirt, you probably see bias tape falling off, and that flower is a joke. It's still a really pretty and comfy outfit, specially for the weather and I would wear it again. I was just...not expecting these issues. Oh well, the only issue I had this weekend I suppose.

I post so much Love Live, I wouldn't blame you if you thought I did one girl from each generation. I uh, never even did a Nijiaski girl and we're on Liella now lol. I do adore each generation for different reasons and their respective casts, Shizuku being my top Niji girl! I found her really relatable with a good message, and loved a lot of her traits like her dog and theater play endearing. I LOVE this cosplay! It's so pretty and comfortable, something I'd love to use for casual days or just hold onto for a while. I think it goes well with a lot of areas too. I need to say Onion Photography was so good here with that in mind since we had some great ideas together that I can't wait to show. This wig is so lovely too by the amazing Nico Chuu! But you knew that already. This is also a wig I want to use more often, which means more Shizuku will be happening!

Trying out Riko's UR Jumping heart pose here. Loved it! Shows off the flower here well. I haven't done many downward angle shots, but this was so nice.

The other Ice Cream Nozomi picture from my Nozomi birthday post! A nice simple one that I think is pretty. Mostly because due to my big head, I could not make that hat stay on if I tried. Onion will tell you about that, believe me. Also, yesterday was Love Live's 9th anniversary! Holy crap, it's been that long? I made a post about it much earlier in the month, because I had the dates very much wrong, but still. Love this franchise and all it's done for me. I love how my focus on love live lately, mainly muse, was fitting haha.

Fun fact, this was supposed to be my first Nozomi cosplay. Devil at the Gaylord was just way too tempting...but bringing this to CPAC paid off! I think it suited the costume better. This was so much fun to shoot with Onion Photography! Along with reuniting and just all four of our shoots this weekend. I'm so thrilled to be sharing these soon and I'm beyond happy. Big credit to Mezame Cosplay as she made this for me during the pandemic, and did wonderful. I don't think at the time, the Ice Cream set was easy to find or if it was, I just didn't like the look. This came out great! So many little touches that she aced. I love my Nozomi wig as well by Cyber Zombie, so comfortable and fluffy! Eased a lot of my concerns as well with Nozomi.

Ice Cream Nozomi!! Well for a little since I’m swapping to Riko. CPAC seems nice~ #nozomitojo #lovelive #castlepointanimeconvention #castlepointanimeconvention2022 #nozomitojocosplay #icecreamcosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc--4VhLKdX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Castle Point is soon!! And I do not even know where to shoot these, I just know...everything else I'm doing at the con I guess? I was tempted for all Love Live, particularly with Ren Hazuki in place of Lisa Imai but I still don't have any Liella Love Live costumes due to shipping issues. I also have really wanted to cosplay Lisa but while I got other costumes in...it actually wasn't what I wanted. If you've kept up with my Instagram and Twitter, you'll know the insanity lol. I'm happy with this line up though! I've been meaning to cosplay Nozomi, Riko, Lisa and Shizuku and had these costumes in mind for ages. Or worse, I've been trying to get them. LMK if you're heading to the con or have similar plans. #castlepointanimeconvention #cpac #castlepointanimeconvention2022 #cpac22 #lovelive #bangdream #nozomitojo #rikosakurauchi #lisaimai #shizukuosaka #lovelivecosplay #bangdreamcosplay #bandori #animecosplay #cosplaylineup https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc5Vkq9rPSf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today is the birthday of Lisa Imai, my top girl from Roselia and all of Bang Dream! I always had a hard call picking my favorite from the franchise. Lisa was always high up but a lot of the girls (namely Roselia) were close to her. I don't know who I would say was my top girl prior...but Lisa certainly holds that spot now! I love a lot about her as a character. I've seen a lot of people say she isn't interesting because by Bandori standards, she's 'normal' but it's necessary, mainly in Roselia. She's an absolute sweet heart, yet her vulnerability is something I know really well. I love a lot of her costumes and design, plus her friendship with Roselia and most notably Yukina; her role in the Roselia stories is so well done where she makes a difference like the others and clearly is needed. I view her similar to Kotori but more mature and less cutesy. In fact, Lisa has a lot of traits I want in myself some day and the way she got to that point as well. Happy birthday Lisa! I have many more plans to cosplay you, I just hope I run into less mishaps with getting your costumes haha.
