It’s been a year already and the big bang Japanese culture was back in town in full force for AFA09! The action unfolded at the Suntec City Convention Centre on 21 and 22 Nov 09 in vibrant colour and sound. A coming of culture and creativity.
This year the main stage / concert area was blocked off which kinda gave it that mysterious feel to the entire place. Of course on display were your regular toys and anime on display.
The Cosplay competition was a particular highlight and the standards were definately UP-ed from last year. Hey no joke just check out some of the pics courtesy of my friend Kenneth.
Now the thing about this cosplay competition or most cosplay competitions is that it’s not just dressing up like the particular anime character but also to portray his behaviour. You not only gotta look the part but act the part as well.
Dropping by Singapore to add a little bit of Japan was celebrity cosplayer Kaname who was one of the judges for the cosplay competition.
This of course is his portrayal of Cloud from the Final Fantasy games. I know what your thinking, celebrity cosplayer? Hey look at it this way, the dude is good……..so good he’s celebrity material.
I always look forward to seeing Gundam, he’s been Exia, Strike Freedom and now 00 Raiser…….man this guy is good.
May’n to perform second night and with Macross fever still riding high one year on, you can bet there will be Sheryl Nomes and here’s one of them.
On behalf of the Kawaii K-on babes………
Danker out!
