Chapter 10 Day of the Black Sun Part 1 - The Invasion

Yip! Yip!!!!

People like to see cosplays because there full of energy with bright colours, well for some anyway. Though, you might ask “Where can I see the best cosplayers in the world?” Well that’s one of the reasons why The World Cosplay Summit was created!! The World Cosplay Summit is how you can call “The World Cosplay Championships” the best cosplayers from around the world from individual countries head to the birthplace of cosplaying, Japan for the Grand Championships. If you win you get the fame of being known as one the top cosplayers in the world! A chance like this happens once a year.

More information found at the official site located here: [link]


In the first World Cosplay Summit there was only 3 countries took part excluding Japan which was France, Germany and Italy. However in this years world Cosplay summit there are a total of 13 countries:

Brazil, China, Germany, Denmark, France, Spain, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Singapore, Thailand, USA

So support the cosplayers in your own country and hope for them to win 8D think of it like the Cosplay Olympics we all want our own country to win. Though as you can see UK is not on the list because compared to the other countries we don’t have much world class cosplayers. Those countries can be considered preliminary rounds, and the World Cosplay Summit in Japan is the Grand Final which is all expensives paid, all expensives paid? hell yes!

More information about the countries here: [link]


So you might want to know how to be entered in the World Cosplay Summit? Well first participating cosplayers from each country will take part in teams of 2 people. With two Japan teams elected in the Tokyo venue and the Osaka venue participate in championship. So basically as a cosplayers you must attend your own countries Cosplay summit competition. For example there is a “USA Cosplay Summit” if you and your partner gain first place in that competition you become the countries cosplay representatives and get send to the grand championships in Japan. Once you become your countries representatives you bear the weight of all the cosplayers of the country.


.Each country will be represented by one group to consist of two cosplayers

.The costumes must be from Japanese anime and manga ONLY

.Costumes are to be hand made. Pre-made costumes are not allowed

.Team costumes at the cosplay championships are to be characters from within the same anime or manga

I just had to let this out~~~~

Okay, so from the very first time I saw Kung Fu Pandas trailer, I told myself that I am so gonna watch it! So, me and my asawa waited for it to show on theaters which premiered last June 6(we did get to see the premiere.. We watched the following day.)!

Few days before the premiere, we were together as well and Kung Fu Panda topic suddenly pooped out of nowhere. And we suddenly wanted to eat, we always point at each other where to eat and then he goes;
"Oi, Kung Fu Panda yong laruan nila ngaun sa McDo ah! Gusto mo tgnan?"
I was like!
"<hontou ni hontou!! Joke! I spoke tagalog.> Tara tgnan natin weeehh!!"
I was so happy about it and we ended up eating chicken happy meals!

I first opted to have PO, of course and master Shifu.
And on and on until the number of collectibles narrowed down to two, Crane and Monkey.
Well I got Crane at McDo Libertad. No stocks at mega and other SM malls I went to.
Monkey was the hardest to find. And guess where I had him, at Divisoria! Yahahaha..
I ate there when I brought fabrics and the wig for my costume I was about to wear yesterday for the shoot which was canceled because of the typhoon.

And so they were complete!

Chiaki Kuriyama (栗山千明, Kuriyama Chiaki^?), born October 10, 1984 in Tsuchiura, Ibaraki Prefecture, is a Japanese actress and model.

Career

Chiaki was one of the most popular models of the mid-1990s child model boom in Japan. In 1997, she appeared in her break in the photobooks Shinwa-Shoujo (Girl of Myth) and Shoujokan (Girl's Residence), photographed by Kishin Shinoyama. Shinwa-Shoujo became a best-seller but, as it contained some nudity, was discontinued by the publisher in 1999 after the institution of new anti-child pornography laws. She also posed as a model for the child fashion magazines Nicola (1997-2001) and Puchi Lemon (1996-2001).

She first achieved widespread recognition as an actress in Japan for her starring roles in the horror films Shikoku (1999) and Ju-on (2000). Chiaki also appeared in the action film Battle Royale (2000) in the role of Takako Chigusa.

Following feature appearances on several notable Japanese television programs (including Rokubanme no Sayoko), Chiaki made her Hollywood debut in director Quentin Tarantino'sKill Bill, Volume I as Gogo Yubari, the manriki-wielding schoolgirl yakuza bodyguard of Tokyo mob mistress O-Ren Ishii. Chiaki's lines in the film were all in Japanese (except for two words, "bingo" and "hi"). She has stated that she is in the process of learning English and hopes to play more English-language roles in the future.^[1] 2003 film

Chiaki's other film appearances include major roles in the samurai drama Azumi 2: Death or Love and Takashi Miike's Yokai Daisenso.

Opening Day: 6 March 2008

Finished watching the movie around 3:44am this morning.
And I was soaked in tears.
Right now my eyes are swollen,bulging eyebags and my head hurts a bit.

I came across the movie while I was watching episodes of Witch Yoo Hee, a korean drama, and at the end of one ep a video flashed called Sky Of Love and the cover got m attention because of the white haired guy in it. I thought at first that it was a live action since the guy has anime styled as in anime style hairdo.But then  after some researches when I got to finish the movie in awful lot of tears,it turns out that IT'S A BLOCKBUSTER MOVIE IN JAPAN!! realeased March 6 of this year.

My tears started flowing I think about half-way through till the end of the movie that's why I soon i I ran out of tears, as in tuyong iyak mga dude.

I was blabbing about this to Kej (who I talked with till 5:40am,the sun is rising at this time) while watching it. I can't help it, he is the only one I'm talking to. (Sorry Kej.. )

Published Review

Synopsis:

The cell-phone novel that moved 11 million to tears

Uploaded to a cell-phone website, this tale of an average girl’s three stormy years of high school, a saga of love, rape, pregnancy, miscarriage, parting, and reunion, is in fact a true story. Striking a chord with many women, its popularity spread like wildfire by word of mouth, and published in book form was an instant best-seller, with 1.3 million copies snapped up in only three weeks. The work is a true phenomenon of the emerging cell-phone society.

Movie Review:

This is one of those Japanese movies belonging to the high-school-boy-meets-girl-with-terminal-illness-or-vice-versa-and-one-of-them-dies genre. Predecessors include Love Letter from a long time back, Crying Out Love in the Center of the World and Nada Sou Sou of recent memory. Make no mistake: the Japanese audience knows who dies after the first scene, but each of the aforementioned movie top-grossed in the country. Now that's really top-gross.

The selling points for each movie is basically the same. Find the most popular, most photogenic and most crybaby almost-teen starlets; put them in the movie, and watch one of them die while the other cries. Prettily. For the boys out there, the deck is stacked heavily against us. In about 80% of movies from this genre, the high-school dude dies. That's quite sad, for the high school girls are all wide-eyed cute little things that boys won't mind spending more time with.

That said, if you have the ten
