Amnesia: Shin 04

欠け落ち失くしてしまった
I search for the final component
最後のコンポーネントを探して
I lost when I fell on down.
遥かな星を辿り
I arrive at a distant star
虹色に染まる空の果てへ
At the edge of the sky dyed in the colors of the rainbow.

隙間から零れ出す小さな灯に囚われ
I am held prisoner by the little lights that fell through the cracks
白日夢に似た道　歩き　歩き
And down a path that looks like a day dream, I walk, and I walk.
加速する引力が
The excelling gravity,
繰り返す動力が
The repeating pull,
私の心ごと　話さない
Will not tell me about my heart.

“Zeotrope”
Lyrics by Crimson Silk

Uta no Prince-sama: Jinguji Ren 08

ドレスコードなんて
As for a dress code,
胸に薔薇だけでいいから
Just a rose on your chest is enough

(Lady, Ready?)

一番ハジけたコーディネートして夜へと溶けよう
Let’s fade into the night with our perfect coordination

Now, lt’s show time

さぁ夢へご招待　ライトで照らすよホントの正体
Come on, your true colors shining in the light, an invitation to this dream

Now, Ride on time

言葉じゃ野暮ったい　何も縛られないFREEDOM
Words don’t do justice to this boundless FREEDOM!

“FREEDOM”

Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc: Enoshima Junko

A young fashionista who took the country by storm with her extravagant tastes, Enoshima Junko had always wanted to be a model ever since she was a child. Her personality and mannerisms are extremely erratic and unstable, as she admits that keeping up one “appearance” for too long bores her. She is the younger twin sister of Ikusaba Mukuro and had an alternate identity known as Otonashi Ryoko.

Meet Italian cosplayer Maki Eraclea! Doesn’t she make an amazing Junko? Please head on over to her Facebook page and give her your support! Thanks to Maki for letting me post this!

Sword Art Online: Gun Gale Online: Asada Shino

When Shino was less than two-years old, she and her parents were involved in a car accident. Unfortunately, it took more than 6 hours before anyone even noticed, and Shino’s father died slowly from internal bleeding while her mother watched. The trauma caused her mother to become very fragile, and thus Shino became overprotective of her mother.

Isn’t Ely the cutest Shino? She has several versions of Sinon in her Facebook Page too, so please give her your support! Thanks to Harry for suggesting this!

Tokyo Ghoul: Tsukiyama Shuu and Kaneki Ken

When Tsukiyama Shuu first met Kaneki in Antaiku, he became fascinated with his unique scent, and later found out that Kaneki was actually half-ghoul. Since then, Tsukiyama has been completely obsessed with Kaneki, seeing him as an exotic, one-of-a-kind dish that only he deserves to consume. As a result, Tsukiyama is always trying to find a way to consume Kaneki, which is the only reason why he helped rescue Kaneki from Aogiri’s hideout.

Oh dear, this is probably one of the most famous cosplay photos from Tokyo Ghoul right now! It’s not really all the difficult to see why! Anyway, I don’t know who the cosplayer behind Kaneki is, but Tsukiyama’s cosplayer is Ryuichi Randoll! You might remember his cosplay of Shin from Amnesia, so please visit his sites: Ask, Cure, Weibo, and World Cosplay! Thanks to Tama for sending this in!

Vocaloid 3: YANHE

筆似刀
The Pen is like a Knife
見血方高 欲斬妖星乘虹沖霄
Upon the sight of blood, it will slice the monster like a rainbow piercing the heavens

心似刀
The Heart is like a Knife
千軍之前 不為折腰
Even before a thousand soldiers, it bows to no one

筆似刀
The Pen is like a Knife
我一肩挑 往蒼茫闢地厚天高
I will face them, just as the land faces the vastness of the sky

心似刀
The Heart is like a Knife
如貫山岳 不動不倒
Like Guan Mountain, it will not move and it will not fall

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Suzumiya Haruhi 11

大事&大事な heavenly time
A crucial, crucial heavenly time
階段が over the way
The stairs are over the way
その場限り無敵のアイだアイだアイ
It’s the spontaneous invincibility of love, of love, of love

忘れないから悲劇だ
You can’t forget it, so it's a tragedy
ものがたりのオキテ
That’s the law of stories
その場限り無心のアイだアイだアイ
It’s the spontaneous innocence of love, of love, of love

実際はか弱き胸 せつないでしょ?
In reality, your delicate heart pains you, doesn’t it?
放っといて欲しいよ
You wish to be left alone
でも、たまに会ったら無我夢中!
But sometimes, you lose yourself in others!

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica: Akemi Homura 04

In her original timeline, Homura is portrayed as meek and timid, a complete opposite of her cold and distant self at the beginning of the series. She is known around the school for her lack of confidence and her inability to perform in P.E. class. This is unfortunately due to her being the target of bullying, and she began to question her existence until she became a magical girl.

Oh wow, this photo is amazing! Homura looks so fierce, like a force to be reckoned with! Thanks to Anime Plus for sharing this!

Uta no Prince-sama: Ichinose Tokiya and Nanami Haruka

覚えていますかPrincess?
Do you remember, my princess?
初めて会ったあの日
The day we first met
君はひとりぼっちで
You were all alone,
空を見上げていた…
Staring at the sky…
自分の胸の奥にある
In the depths of your own heart,
自分だけの宝石を
There’s a jewel just for you
君はたぶんまだ見つけてないだけ…
You probably just haven’t found it yet…

君の背に眠る翼は
The wings on your back are resting,
風だけを待ってる
Just wait for a breeze
身を任せて目を瞑って
Surrender yourself and close your eyes
感じるはず暖かさを
And you will feel their warmth

“Crystal Time”
Lyrics by Petit Lyrics
Translation by ☽ Moonlit Sanctuary ☾

Don’t they look cute together? For once, I don’t really mind that the heroine ended up with the hero, because I like Otoya better than Tokiya, haha! Thanks to Katya for sending this in!
