Hyper Japan 2013~! ♥

So back in July was my first ever adventure to Hyper Japan! <3 I can say right off that it was completely amazing and brilliant in every way! I'd never been to a con that wasn't Expo before~

Oh before I write anymore stuff, go and read Tunkia's write up of HJ! She wrote it straight away like a good blogger should <3 (she also gave me permission to use her photos)

Part 1- Info and Cosplay
Part 2- People and Friends
Part 3- Culture and Shopping

She blogged about the event <3 I blogged about me xD seriously go and read! And all her other posts too~

Right so, the night before I stayed at Kydeka's (surprise surprise) and because we're so smart we planned to get lots of sleep but of course we kept talking so we didn't!

She cosplayed as Yukio from Blue Exorcist while I did Shima ^ ^

My camho before leaving to get the train (while Kydeka was off doing make up heheheh)
 
Once we got our expensive train tickets and got on the train, at the next stop we met Kydeka's wifey, April! I'd never met her before but omg she is so nice and totally pretty too!
 
Then we posted traveling shots from each of our phones to Facebook!
 
I think it was a brilliant idea
 
So now everybody knows, we're going to Hyper Japan!
I'm so using other peoples photos as well as my own in this post >> don't hate me ilu
 
Once we worked out how to get off the platform, we were nearly at HJ!
 
Thumbs up ready and excited :D
 
WE'RE HEERREEEE
 
Once we'd got inside I just did a whole lot of staring at stuff xD there was just so much! We kind of half looked at a lot of stalls but since we had people to meet up with, texting them was important!
 
And so, I finally met the gorgeous Tunika! (you know, I linked her blog up there?) It was so great to meet her <3 shes so nice and pretty and amazing aaahh! It's like insta-friends.
Aaaaahhh <3 <3
 
 
I just love our group picturessss;;;
 
Tunika with me and Kydeka!
 
Oh who are these two? Person on the right. So weird. Omg.
Okay can Kydeka stop looking so good in my cosplay?!
 
It was also Kydeka who knew these amazing cosplayers! Who we hung around with for the rest of the day~ Introducing Zoe and Christie!
 
And the forever fabulous Tana (who transformed into Amaimon later in the day) and Aiden!
I was pretty shy around them all oops xD
 
These two actually did the most brilliant performance as Amaimon and Mephisto to Avenue Q's 'If You Were Gay' and it was quite fantastic <3
 
Even though I'm not looking at the camera I super love this one xD
 
Okay stop! Before I go any further, I need to introduce the best and most expensive thing I got! She became my new best friend hehehehehe.
 
Introducing Haru-chan~! ^ㅅ^
She lives in my bed <3
 
<3 <3 I wanted the biggest alpaca, but she cost enough as it was xD woah
This 19 year old spends stupid money on toys. yup.
 
Can you feel the bond?
SHE IS SO CUTE.
 
Even Yukio is jealous~ Judging by Haru-chans colour she misses her mummy (me)
 
I also got a hime style necklace but omg regret because it was a total impulse buy xD now I don't know what to do with it ;;
 
Anyway, the stalls at HJ were so brilliant! There was so much fashion and accessories <3 (Japanese styles of course, which I LOVE) I wish I could have brought it all :'3 there was a lot of people dressed up in different fashions too, which was the first time i'd seen so much of it at once!
 
What I found surprising at first is that there was less cosplay more fashion. So as cosplayers we somehow stood out haha! At the start of the day it was just picture picture picture, it was fabulous~ even got pictures with this amazing cosplayer from World Cosplay!
 
I was in total awe!
 
Around lunch time we decided to grace the local town with our cosplay-tastic presence. It was pretty fun.
Yukio approves of this shop
 
COSPLAYING IN PUBLIC IS AWESOME
Oh and that's Josh ^ ^ who was also part of the 'hanging around with' group of the day!
 
I brought an ice cream <3 it was yummy
 
Oh let me just throw in this picture I like
 
I also saw Omii again! She just keeps being so pretty gaahh
 
Here's the last lot of photos with people <3
Me and Kydeka, being tired and sitting ><
 
With Tunika ^-^
 
And April who brought this super cute hat!
 
Now moving on to something else that we did at Hyper Japan, after shopping, wondering, eating, talking and show watching- we headed to a photo shoot with all the new cosplayers I met! Wooooo!
 
Now we had the most amazing photographers ever I swear I die. And they were so friendly bwaaaaaa! Huge thanks to Jei, Jonathan and then April who also got her gorgeous camera out! I WANNA SEE YOU AGAIN OKAY? OKAY
 
Oh and first heres one that I totally lovelovelove from League of Extraordinary Cosplayers! Look them up! Their photos are always totally gorgeous :'3
 
I really wanna post ALL THE PHOTOS but theres like ten thousand so I'm not going to, if you know me- check mentioned photographers Facebooks and if not...go on Zoe's tumblr! ultimatesir.tumblr.com they're all on there I believe <3
 
Loveit.
 
Not a Photo photo, but a nice photo <3
 
Haha another random one! April was testing out the focus on her camera~
 
Gorgeous group photo! We are joined by Casey as Shura and Liam as a persony kind of Kuro!
 
Shima doesn't really feel like beating up this demon, but don't worry Yukio and Bon will c:
-chicken-
 
MEE
 
I have no idea why I love this one so much
 
Mephisto and Shima are secretly best friends
 
We are very, very serious exorcists.
 
Wait did I say serious?
 
Okay yeah we are <3
I just loved all of these photos, especially the group ones! It was so wonderful ;;; and everyone was so nice and aww
 
And sadly, after the shoot it was time to go home :c /cry
 
Looking back on photos and writing this up makes me miss everyone so much D: wah. I'm so going to Hyper Japan again!
 
At the station :c
 
This is where they left me!
 
On the train, all by myself haha xD 
Zzzzz. So. Exhausted.
 
It was really a brilliant day though, it was so worth being half dead on the train hehe~ It was great to meet new people and re-see old! And now I have even more people I have to catch up with when I see them at Expo <3 <3
 
Thanks for a brilliant first Hyper Japan!
