◆◆
―― In which part of China are you living?
水淼aqua: I am living in Xi'an. There are lots of places to explore for delicious foods, please come visit us!
―― What is the reason behind starting a cosplay? How long has it past since?
水淼aqua: I loved characters from the anime and games, it has been one year and a half since the thought that I would like to become the character itself both in looks and mind. I mostly take part in studio photograph session and I rarely attend to events. But, I want to try my best to attend events from now.
―― Could you tell us about your favorite anime or games?
水淼aqua: For games, I usually enjoy playing “Azur Lane” and “Diablo 3”. For anime, I love all genres from a mild and delicate to passionate and expressive, so I had watched a lot of animes.
―― What is the distinctive feature of expression about your cosplay?
水淼aqua:I really don't have any definite posing or facial expressions. For the cosplay, it is important to change the expressions and movements to become a character itself. Maybe, a handsome look is my appealing point?… It's a joke! (Laughing)
―― Is there anything that you expect from a photographer when taking a photo?
水淼aqua: I prefer a photographerwith a similar sense and idea of the photo that I want. This only leaves minor editing after the photograph has started. Another would be someone who allows me to get engaged with my character. This is because I lose concentration if I am instructed with too much posing.
―― Is there any memorable moments of cosplay until now?
水淼aqua: It would be the moment when I took a cosplay photoshoot of Do-S from “One-Punch Man”. I accidentally had candle wax spilled over my back, so I went to a hospital straight after the photoshoot. It was horrible because it would have been a life-time scar if I arrived slightly later. (Laughing)

―― What is the cosplay that sparked your popularity among people?
水淼aqua: It is Atago from “Azur Lane” (Racing Queen Ver.). I personally feel like this was the cosplay that reached over the personal limit. I am thinking that getting known by a lot of people is a reward behind numerous efforts that I have put into.
―― Could you please tell about your future goals?
水淼aqua:I want to cosplay a lot of characters from “Azur Lane” and “Fate/Grand Order”. I would like to enhance my posing or expressions to the next level, giving a vivid impression when I am taking a photo shoot. I will try my best!
Also, I have visited Japan 5 times already. Yet, I have not visited a single “Comic Market” event, I really want to attend it next time.
