Cosplay

Si fa uns dies us parlava de la banda urbana dels rockabillies, aprofito la visita al Tokyo Game Show per presentar-vos un altre estil, els cosplay, probablement l'estil que té més seguidors arreu. Els cosplay (de l'anglès "costume play") van néixer als anys 80 i es tracta de gent generalment jove ques es disfressa de personatges famosos de manga, anime, pelis o el que sigui...la veritat és que és espectacular de veure, s'ho curren un pilot i ja se'n van ocórrer algunes idees pel pròxim carnaval de Torelló :-). Al festival n'estava ple, gent sola, en parelles o en grups, i tots es tiraven fotos per després intercanviar-se-les com els cromos del pannini! Fins i tot hi va haver un concurs per escollir el millor cosplayer.
Per cert, per qui en vulgui veure els podeu trobar també a Tokyo cada diumenge a l'entrada del Yoyogi park al capdamunt del carrer Omotesando.


If some days ago I wrote about the urban band of the rockabillies, I take the opportunity of the visit at the Tokyo Game Show to introduce you another style, the cosplay, probably the style that has more followers around the world. The cosplay (from the English "costume play") were born in the 80s and is generally young people dressed up of famous characters from manga, anime, movies or whatever...honestly is quite espectacular to see, they work a lot on it, actually I took some ideas from the next carnival :-). There were lots of them in the festival, people alone, in couples or groups and all were taking pictures of themselves to afterwards exchange them with other cosplayers as the typical collection of stickers! There was even a contest to choose the best cosplayer. 
Btw, for those who want to see them, you can also find them in Tokyo every Sunday in front of the Yoyogi park at the end of Omotesando st.
