[Intermission] 5th Anniversary
Hi everyone, I am doing alright. I must say sorry that I haven’t come here for a while, but say thank you for following my blog. Those who e-mailed me to make sure I am doing okay, thank you very much.
To my surprise, it’s been 5 years since I started this blog. Time flies, it really does. I didn’t know how wonderful I could share my blog with you, and made friends here when I started this. Yes, thank you very much, I want to say from the bottom of my heart. When I was tired of having such a hard time, your comments or messages really helped me. That is why I could get through. As you may know, I am a cosplayer. Cosplayers are supposed to make people happy. I don’t know if I could do such a thing. Those who make me happy are you. I was helpless and useless, even now there is a time I feel I am useless. However, if there is only one person who likes my cosplays, I feel that a wreck like me has a meaning to live.
Well then…I shall get ready for my anniversary! Where is my tie, suits…uh? Someone is coming.
(The bell is ringing) Who is it?
Tedsuka: I am Captain Tedsuka from Seigaku Tennis Club [Prince of Tennis].
Y-Yes, but I have never seen you in such a suit.
Tedsuka: So you haven’t played Motto Gakuen no Ouji-sama[もっと学園の王子様], have you? It’s an otome game of PoT. Anyway, there is no time to explain. Get dressed now. Let’s go to the party together.
部長の手塚です。いつも俺の友人・banginのブログを見に来てくれてありがとう。これからもきっと、こいつはコスプレを続けていくだろう。どうか、彼を末永く見守り続けてやってもらえたらと思う。今はとりあえず、5周年おめでとうと言ってやってほしい。
I am Captain Tedsuka. Thank you very much for following my friends’ blog. I am sure he will keep cosplaying from now on. Please, go on being friends with him. I hope. For now, just say happy 5th anniversary.
Series: Prince of Tennis -Motto Gakuen no Ouji-sama-[テニスの王子様―もっと学園の王子様―]
Character: Tedsuka Kunimitsu[手塚 国光]
Cosplayer: bangin
Photographer: Hajime

Grats on the 5th anniversary, bangin-san! It’s always nice to see your new cosplay photos. Also, if you ever come upon slang words that you think we might not know, it’d be nice to see a short post on them if you have time. I’ve always found those very interesting. For example, you were the one that explained what π/ was!

Hi Micchi, thank you for coming. Yes, you have been following…for long time. Thank you again.
Haha, paisura, right?

:)) Hachi will be with Nana in the next version ^^
What do you think about my kimono furisode Nana Osaki? And the Midori Kobayashi (Norwegian wood)? And the latest – the Enma Ai kawaii version?

😦
YAH!! More Tezuka!!!!! ❤ ❤ for Bangin!!
CONGRATS for the 5 years of cosplaying!! I love seeing all your wonderful cosplays. Thank you for all your hard work!!
bangin said,

Thank you always!
You can pursue even Atobe-sama, but tell you what, the character design is not so good in this game.
I just like Tedsuka in suit. In Tedsuka’s ED, you can climb the mountain with him, but his clothes is hideous.

happy 5th anniversary, Bangin-san!!! Wow… it’s a wonder that time goes so fast. I still remember that you cosplayed as Takano-san in your last anniversary! Imagine that it’s been a year since that post… amazing, isn’t it? Thank you for bringing me happiness from your cosplay and wish you luck in whatever you do in life.^^
bangin said,
July 27, 2012 at 12:35 pm
Yes, Mardy it was Takano-san who cerebrated my 4th anniversary. A year passed…yes, it’s amazing. At least you are following my blog for a year. Arigatou!

Wah!! Tezuka sempai!! I am so happy you cosplayed my favourite Tenipuri character. ^^ funny thing, I actually started playing this game about a week ago and Tezuka was the first guy I got the ending for. ^^ Trying to pursue Oishii now
bangin said,
July 27, 2012 at 12:33 pm
I am sure you will laugh so bad at Oiishi’s ending.^^ I also like Sanada.

I just found out about your blog and I must say that I really like it!
I love both of your post about Japanese slangs and your cosplays!
Keep up the good work and congrats on the fifth anniversary of your blog!
bangin said,
August 30, 2012 at 2:43 pm
Thank you for coming! Yes, please come anytime!

I’ve dropped by, without much hope for a new post, and then this! I can’t believe it’s the next anniversary already! Love the the cosplay btw, there are some absolutely perfect shots.
And listen here… Whatever happens, don’t feel useless. Don’t feel like a wreck. You are a smart, handsome guy running a quality cosplay blog, and you have FANS. As in FANGIRLS. So think about it when you feel down.
So, I guess, happy 5th anniversary! : ) Keep it up!
charana said,

TRUE TRUE! You have fans, many people who like you, and I’m sure you have people who still like you even when they know of the side of yourself that you don’t show much of.
Happy 5th anniversary!
I showed a friend these set of pictures and she said ‘Are you sure that they just didn’t draw that picture of him?’ Pretty much said that you look just liek that guy in the drawing.
Smile ok!

bangin said,

Haha, thank you.^^
Is your friend an anime fan, too?

Thank you Filip. How is your summer in Poland? Thank you for always dropping by. Please come anytime although I hardly blog here. I wish I could. Thank you always. Love, bangin.
Filip said,
August 31, 2012 at 2:39 am
Any time ; ) I just think you need to be reminded of these things once in a while. And I have really, REALLY grown fond of this blog, so there’s no way I would stop checking on it.
This summer is freakishly hot, but otherwise pretty good, thanks. Like every year I’m making promises to myself that next summer I will spend in Japan, haha. Ha.
On completely different note, I know it’s mainly cosplay blog, but I kind of miss your words posts. They were very interesting and useful.

Bangin-san, happy 5th anniversary! *hugs* \(^-^)/
Whatever you’re going through I hope you come out of it stronger, happier and become an even more beautiful person than you already are!
And you don’t just look handsome in a suit cosplaying Tedzuka in this lovely set of photos you shared with us… you ARE him!
Please keep amazing us with your magic! Here’s to many more fantastic years of fruitful and happy experiences and cosplays!
bangin said,
August 30, 2012 at 2:49 pm
Oh ponytale, thank you for coming. What are you following now? I am always behind, you know. So maybe I would cosplay Utapuri two or three years later! XD
Wish I could see the next comiket!
ponytale said,
September 7, 2012 at 4:14 am
My pleasure, Bangin-san! 😀 Hmm, I wonder who from utapuri would you cosplay? 😀
I’m currently following Sword Art Online (I like the concept), Kuroko no Basuke (sports action and fujoshi bait ^^;;) and Shirokuma Cafe (male seiyuu heaven + I love the quirky animals). Don’t have time for more but would love to watch Natsuyuki Rendezvous when I can.
Although you said you probably leave T&B and KnB to the “younger cosplayers” but never say never 😉 Life surprises us in fun and unexpected ways (maybe during the next comiket…) XD
bangin said,
September 14, 2012 at 2:51 pm
I would cosplay Tokiya because I like him the most. Currently, Utapuri is too popular to cosplay! When it gets cool down, I would do.
Oh Sword Art Online, my friends are following, too. Kurobasu is also the most popular. Most of my cosplay friends are doing either Midorima or Kise.
