寿記 01.01.10 Stage Costumes -09 TDIQ-

.

This was my stage costume from the live on the 29th.

.

The concept for this one was "I'm running out of time."

.

The color combinations and styles make one ask, "is that really okay?"

.

My image was to wrap up something kitschy in a sort of hyper-element.

.

Of course, I don't have the courage to wear this kind of thing in everyday life.

I don't want that kind of courage.

.

"The costume"...yeah, here it is.

The fabric of the jacket and the pleated skirt was something I saw while I was wandering around the city. I liked it immediately, so even though it was still summer, I decided to purchase it to use for my costume for the live on 12-29.

.

I'm always the last one of the five of us to come up with an idea for my costume,

Or rather, I won't do it until it gets to the last minute

So every time I ended up giving our stylist Yagi a hard time.

.

But this time, things will be fine.

I'm good to go.

I don't have to worry.

I mean, I've prepared this what, 4, 5 months in advance....

All of you, when you were kids, were you conscientious about doing your summer holiday homework?

Were you the type who worked on it a little bit every day?

Or were you the bad type who did it all poorly at the beginning of the summer, and just lazed around for the rest of your break?

.

.

In the future, I want to be "the sleepless hare."

If I did that, I'd beat the tortoise so fast, no problem.

Yeah, that's right, a super-powered hare...

.

.

I was being nice to myself!

.

I just played and messed around for the whole summer, and then at the last minute I'd be writing a month's diary all at once.

That sort of kid.

That was me.

.

.

.

So, of course~~~~~~~~ it gets to the last minute, and finally this ant begins to work on his design!

.

Buying the fabric early isn't everything.

.

Also, this was a pretty complex design with lots of little details, like matching up the picture of Maria on the pleats.

.

Mr. Yagi told me mine was the hardest design to make.

.

.

.

But, whatever. We made something cool.

(hm? What am I saying here?)

.

You can't walk the path to being a super-powered rabbit, you know.

There are my boots and accessories.

And here's my brooch shaped like a castle, and the Alice pendant shaped like an awesome broken, melting watch.

Also, part of my image this time around was "Imawano Kiyoshirou."

IMAI 19:00

  4. It's true, since Japan is a country with only a very small population of Christians, Japanese people often use Christian imagery freely in ways that might be angering to some, though mostly they mean no offense. It's the same phenomenon as Western bands using Hindu or Buddhist imagery just to look cool.

  5. Funny, I'm a recovering Catholic and I thought the person was offended by the X-tian imagery itself. But when I read Cayce's comment I got it. I never occurred to me that someone might think it was sacrilegious. For me I see it an think, "dear god why do you want to wear THAT?" But I get that he has no investment in it whatsoever. Lucky him!
