Musicals in Japan are the best. Yeah, I said it. I LOVE musicals in Japan. And that’s why today I want to tell you about my absolute, favorite, best Japanese musical experience. That of the time I went to see “Kuroshitsuji: Chi ni Moeru Rikorisu” (“Black Butler: Lycoris that Blazes the Earth”), the third musical adaptation of the manga “Black Butler” by Yana Toboso.
The new Rurouni Kenshin anime debuts today! But have you wanted to know about the real hitokiri, Kawakami Gensai, who served as the inspiration for “Himura Kenshin”? Since I was able to visit his grave this past December, I’ve gleaned a wealth of information about him. So let me tell you about this fascinating individual from Japanese history and how he compares with the infamous Hitokiri Battosai!
I told y’all it was coming. 😉 It took one year. Just. One. And look at me, cosplaying from My Hero Academia. And what do you know? I ended up first cosplaying as a villain version of Shoto Todoroki. O.O
So Katsucon 2023 happened this past February! And… yes it’s May. But in my defense, my website was getting a facelift. ^^; That said, I hope you check out the new design of the site! I’m so glad to have a newly designed gallery as well as a special section just for the panels I do at conventions. And the latter will make it easier for you to find those notes I always promise! Which, hey, brings me back to Katsucon 2023!
I thought I’d do something different today and start writing a bit more about some my favorite cosplays that I’ve done and breaking down how they came to be. You’d like that right? Right. 😉 And just cause I love cosplaying as her, I thought I’d start with the spunky Sasha Blouse!
You read that right! This year I’m hosting a Japan Anime Goodie Giveaway on my Social Media! 3 to be exact! That’s 3 Platforms, 3 Prizes, and 3 Chances to win awesome anime related goodies straight from Tokyo, Japan! 😀 😀 😀
So let’s get right to the details!
Well the new year just came on over and waltzed right in now, didn’t it? Here’s a bit of what I did in Japan this past December, along with upcoming news about Katsucon 2023!
Sharing a Tokyo adventure with you all today, one that’s both scary and sweet! Appropriate since we’re in October right? (But actually, it’s much more sweet than scary!) And this adventure today takes us right into Harajuku, to the Kawaii Monster Cafe.
Summer has definitely come to a close and I’m now in the midst of lighting cinnamon candles and wrapping myself up in warm blankets. But that said, what a busy summer it was! I’m clearly still recovering from it haha, considering I’m only now getting to my Otakon recap! (Along with a some news regarding AnimeUSA 2022, too!)
Japan has opened up! And Tokyo will forever be one of the most amazing places you can go in your lifetime. But if you find yourself to be in a bit more of an adventurous mood and are desiring to go beyond the bounds of the main Tokyo railways, you might find one of these amazing side trips from this awesome city to be worth your while during your next trip to Japan.
