Date: 2024-04-16
It has been announced that "Meets SHIZUOKA ~ Yuru Camp△ × Love Live! Sunshine!! ~" will be held as a collaboration project between "Yuru Camp△" and "Love Live! Sunshine!!". Set in Shizuoka, the hometown of both series, various initiatives will be carried out, accompanied by illustrations showcasing different locations. "Yuru Camp△" is an anime based on the manga by Afro, known for its depiction of high school girls enjoying camping and its relaxed atmosphere. Since its anime adaptation in 2018, it has aired two TV series and one short anime series, with the movie "Yuru Camp△" released in 2022, all of which have been highly successful. The third TV series began airing in April 2024. "Love Live! Sunshine!!" is the second series of the "Love Live! Project" under the theme of "fulfilling a story together," which tells the story of nine high school girls becoming "school idols" to fulfill their dreams . It depicts the struggles and growth of the school idol group "Aqours," formed at a school in the Uchiura area of Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The project started in February 2015 with the release of the magazine "Dengeki G's Magazine," and continued with the broadcast of two TV anime series from 2016 to 2017, followed by the release of a completely new theatrical edition in 2019. On New Year's Eve 2018, "Aqours" participated in the 69th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen. As of June 2024, "Aqours" is approaching its 9th anniversary since formation, showing even more excitement. Starting with the release of the key visual, the collaboration project "Meets SHIZUOKA ~ Yuru Camp△ × Love Live! Sunshine!! ~" will feature various initiatives involving illustrations showcasing different locations in Shizuoka. Accompanying the announcement is the release of key visuals. Additionally, the characters visiting famous spots in Shizuoka will be depicted in illustrations by illustrator Fuyuno Kamome in the project titled "Meets SHIZUOKA ~ Scenery of Encounters ~." The first three illustrations from the western area were unveiled. "Meets SHIZUOKA ~ Scenery of Encounters ~" consists of a total of nine illustrations, with three each from the central and eastern areas to be released later. In addition, illustration cards will be distributed at the featured and surrounding facilities. Distribution of the first three illustrations from the western area will begin on May 11, with the distribution method to be announced on May 2. Goods featuring the illustrations will also be produced, so stay tuned for further updates. Furthermore, a total of 18 stamps featuring attractive spots in Shizuoka have been introduced as "Meets SHIZUOKA Stamps." A stamp rally and the sale of various goods featuring the stamp illustrations have also been decided. From April 26, JR Tokai's collaboration campaign between "OshiTabi" and "Meets SHIZUOKA" will begin. Visitors presenting an EX reservation or Smart EX usage ticket at designated locations will receive an original A5 clear file. Additionally, from May 3, a POP-UP SHOP will open at "Shizuoka PARCO," offering a variety of "Meets SHIZUOKA" original goods. Fans are encouraged to visit the shop.

natsume, the Chinese cosplayer with 220,000 followers on Twitter, charms in a voluptuous costume! She is Akatsuki from "Lost Decade"

Date: 2020-06-30
The Chinese cosplayer natsume-san is one of the top cosplayers who has reached 220,000 followers on Twitter by showing many sexy costumes. She actively participates in events in Japan such as Comic Market, and has always attracted a lot of attention. However, due to the current situation, she lost touch with her Japanese fans, which is regrettable. This time we had a direct interview with Natsume. She also shows us some of her latest unpublished shots for her Japanese fans. --Were you planning to come to Japan in May? natsume: That's right, I was supposed to be there in May for the Comic Market to show my new costume, but unfortunately the event was canceled... --What kind of cosplay works are popular in the Chinese cosplay world at the moment? natsume: "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba". I've heard it's incredibly popular in Japan, but it's also very popular in China and in other countries! There's a lot of cosplay as well. --What are some of the Japanese works that you're into? natsume: There are a lot of them, but "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War" "Persona 5", and "Final Fantasy VII" are always my favorite! --In terms of cosplay, what kind of characters have you recently made? natsume: Recently, I've been working on Pecorine from "Princess Connect! Re:Dive", Enoshima Junko from "Danganronpa", Android 18 from "Dragon Ball", and Akatsuki from "Lost Decade". Most of them are already on Twitter! --This time you have published a shot of Akatsuki, can you please tell us how was working on it? natsume: Akatsuki was a very difficult costume to put on because it had a lot of detailed decorations. It took me about an hour and a half to finally get it on with the help of my friends. But the shoot went really well, it only took 30 minutes and it was fun! --What do you like about cosplay? natsume: Like for all the works I've just mentioned, when I come across works and characters that I like, I want to cosplay them. And there are also a lot of works that have become my all-time favorites because of cosplaying (laugh). --Finally, please tell us your future goals! natsume: I want to work hard to make money for doing cosplay. When the current situation will be over, I definitely want to go to Japan with a lot of my cosplay works, so I'll do my best. I look forward to seeing you at the Comic Market this winter!
