I also cosplay as girls some times.
I cosplayed...
...as maid.
I want to wear a police uniform!
Hey guys this is Cathy Cat! Many people seem to be thinking that
Japanese people are not only into Harajuku fashion but also into cosplay.
I am gonna go out to day and ask the real people of Tokyo
if they are into cosplay or not. Let's find out!
Have you tried cosplaying?
- I have! - She said she has!
On halloween, we both dressed up.
I have... for taking pictures at the purikura photo booth.
Just a few days ago.
What character did you cosplay as?
I cosplayed as Snow White.
I was the Queen of Hearts. That was a lot of fun.
It was.
Why did you choose those characters?
We decided to wear characters as a group.
All characters had to be connected to Disney.
I wore maid's clothes.
They must look cute on you!
I cosplayed...
... as maid.
It was really cold and... men have hairy armpits you know so...
So everyone avoided me...
I dressed as a cheerleader or as Santa Clause.
That's kind of cute!
I wore a long suit, to look like a cool butler.
I have done the usual "dressing in costume" things like maids and such...
And nowadays I am cosplaying as Anime characters.
Which cosplay are you the most proud of?
- There is an Anime called Love Live - That's a popular one these days.
I have cosplayed as Sonoda Umi recently.
- I have never cosplayed... - Would you like to try it?
I am too embarassed to cosplay, I don't think I can do that.
Not unless I loose a bet like this one here.
Is there a cosplay you have not yet done but would like to try out?
I want to wear a police uniform!
- A nurse or such! - An Anime character.
Like fighting anime stuff.
Will you cosplay this year?
- Not this year. - No.
- I have graduated from that. - She has finished with it!
How about Halloween? Would you cosplay on Halloween?
I might on Halloween...
Good one.
- Maybe as Lolita. - Yeah how about wearing Lolita fashion?!
Lolita... well I have very hairy legs so that might be bad...
Well there are also very long socks you can wear with Lolita so...
You might just be alright!
Well then let me join!
Have you done many characters up until now?
I have cosplayed as a variety of characters...
But I don't have that much money so...
I want to cosplay as many characters but instead ...
I spend my money on upgrading the quality of the cosplay that I already have.
- What's fun about cosplaying? - You get to meet a lot of people!
But sometimes I see people who don't like anime, they never like to cosplay.
But if you cosplay, you really meet those people who love that hobby.
It's great for socialising and for taking pictures of yourself with a different look.
Thank you very much.
Thank you too!
No, seriously thank you! I am glad you took our interview.
Looks like most people actually haven't done proper cosplay
but they were kind of wearing a costume for halloween
Most are open to the idea of wearing a costume for Halloween
but they seem to be a bit reluctant to cosplay
so again it's a hobby like for you and I. Some people do it,
some people don't. We had one cosplayer in there and she said
you have to be careful, cosplay can be quite pricey after a while.
Hm, I understand that fact.
How about you? Have you tried cosplaying? Are you interested in cosplaying?
Or do you only dress up for Halloween?
Let us know, we are looking forward to your comments.
And catch you soon!
Let's talk with Japanese people about LOVE!
Please go out with me.
Where does cheating start?
We have all been cheated upon! Ask me alright! I got experience in this, let me tell you girl!
Can they say that in English? Let's find out.
What does "A toast to your eyes" mean in English?
No clue!
What's important, a person's looks or what's inside?
Choosing between horrible or hot, you go for hot, right?!
What do you love and hate about Japan?!
I love that freedom!
Japanese people don't have that. - It's peaceful!
"One Coin Fun Fun Stuff!"
BUT this is YouTube, so we can do this!
- Junkie! - Not Junkie! Chunky!
OOOHHH NOOOOO
Congratulations!
THAT one!
