Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Rin and Len

Kabosoi higa kokoro no hashini tomoru
A slender flame burns at the edge of my heart

Itsu no manika moehirogaru netsujou
Without warning, it spreads into a burning passion

Watashi no chou fukisokuni tobimawari
My butterfly, flitting around it chaotically

Anata no teni rinpun wo tsuketa
Scales dropping into your hand

Cosplayers ~enearn and ~AsumiChan from the song "Magnet" which was originally sung by Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka! Thanks to this awesome contribution by Gackt-lover!

Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Len and Rin

A project that was originally intended for a low-teen girl's voice following after Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Len and Rin were created to satisfy the demand for a boy's version Vocaloid. Their family name literally means “mirror sound” and Crypton Future Media Ltd. wished to distribute them as twins, but this marketing strategy was not carried out.
Shimoda Asami is the seiyuu behind the voices of Kagamine Len and Rin. I love the costumes the cosplayers chose for this shoot, and I’m willing to bet it was inspired from another song they made. Thanks to Channel for sending this in!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 10

In honor of the first character to reach 10 cosplay features in Cosplay Holic, here is a video of Cosplayer Yumiko dancing to Hatsune Miku’s song “Strobo Nights”.

And of course, Cosplay Holic is in its Hatsune Miku Edition now (meaning: new banner, if you haven’t noticed it yet). Thanks for all the support! And thank you to all the awesome cosplayers and readers that make this site possible!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 09

Hatsune Miku will probably be the first character in Cosplay Holic to reach 10 different cosplayers. But, I guess you never know..!

Here is another Hatsune Miku from MoeHaku 2010 and she's probably posing by the same car as the other Miku. Among the many different costumes she's been in though, this is still my favorite. You simply can't beat the original design. Unless it's a gothic Miku simply because I have a soft spot for gothic lolita styles.

Third Miku from Riffonliner! Thanks again for your contribution!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 08

I must apologize for the flood of Miku/Vocaloid Cosplays lately, but it seems to be the trend these days.

I'm guessing she is also from "World is Mine" version like the Miku from Winter Comiket 2009, but I am definitely not a Miku expert. I love the car details and if you look closely, there is a chibi Miku on the dashboard, which looks like the winter version too. Thanks again to Riffonliner for the photo!

Vocaloid 2: Megurine Luka 02

Unlike Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin and Len, Megurine Luka's costume is not based on a school uniform. This is probably because Luka has a "moody yet husky female voice" with a "cool, somewhat mysterious" character. One of the first few songs produced, "RIP=RELEASE" took the number one spot on the 70th Weekly Vocaloid Ranking. The song earned 843,233 points during its first week, the highest one-week score ever recorded.

Beautiful MoeHaku Luka! I didn't even know this was her official costume until I received this contribution. Thanks, Wikia!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin

You know that a character has reached new heights when a fan decides to launch a petition to create a custom made plate of the said character that will be used as a balancing weight for a... spacecraft explorer?!

That is exactly what Sumio "chodensi-P" Morioka did. In November 2009, he started the Hatsune Miku aluminum plate petition for the Japanese Venus spacecraft explorer, Akatsuki, which will be launched in summer of 2010. Dr. Seiichi Sakamoto of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency backed him up but only reached the 10,000 signatures necessary after the original deadline; 20th of December 2009. However, due to the delays in the Akatsuki project, a new deadline, 6th of January 2010 was set, and the project received over 14,000 signatures.

Awesome fanbase with great cosplayers too! It makes me wonder what songs this Miku and Rin are in. Thanks to Riffonliner for emailing the photo!

Vocaloid Cosplay PV: Melt

I can't believe how cute this video is! Please check it out, you won't be disappointed!

Here are some notes from Peggy, the animator and the cosplayer of Miku:

song by Supercell,he's a very famous composer in the world of vocaloid!
Did a cosplay PV for it because this is one of the first few songs that i heard from a vocaloid and its kinda memorable to me.

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Len

The most popular Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku, is accompanied by a rather grown-up looking version of Kagamine Rin's "twin", Kagamine Len. It makes you wonder if Kaito will get jealous over this picture.

Then again, Len and Rin are supposedly "one and the same", aren't they? Where in the world could Rin be?

Thanks to Fakir for sending this in!

Vocaloid 2: Gackpoid

Internet Co. Ltd. wanted to utilize an actual musician’s voice for Vocaloid, but thought it would be difficult to acquire cooperation. However, when the consulted Dwango about the matter, they found that Gackt previously provided his voice for Dwango’s cell phone services. A few negotiations later with the famed musician and actor, Gakupoid was born.

He’s not in his usual samurai clad, but I’m guessing fans would know from which music video this is from? Really love the purple hues in this photo. Thanks a lot for sharing!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 04

Actually, I’m not so sure if this is Hatsune Miku or not, but I’ll take a wild guess that it is because of that long, green, pigtailed hair.

Unless there is another character similar to Miku from an anime or game I don’t know about, which could be highly likely too. Let me know either way?

Thanks again to Sam for emailing me another Miku from Winter Comiket!

Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Rin 02

Voice actress Shimoda Asami provides the voice of both Kagamine Rin and Len, who is the boy version of Rin. Strangely enough, Rin and Len’s synthesizer cost as much as Miku’s even though they are two for the price of one.

On July 2008, Crypton released an expansion disc free of charge for those who already bought the old version. The disc is an entirely different software and does not affect the original Rin and Len in any way, allowing the users to use one or the other, or even both.

Cute Rin from Winter Comiket! I can’t believe she’s out in the cold in that outfit. Thanks to Mika-Mi for sending this!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 03

Last year’s Winter Comiket in Japan has given us a ton of beautiful cosplays without the “luxury” of Photoshop! Many readers have been sending these photos in, and I will do my best to feature as many as I can!

Starting off, we have Hatsune Miku from Vocaloid 2! It looks like a customized version with her fluffy headsets, and the material she used for her arm warmers and skirt is just lovely!

Many thanks to Sam for emailing this! I’ll be posting more very soon!

Vocaloid 2: Megurine Luka

First released on January 30, 2009, Megurine Luka is the voice of a 20-year-old girl who can sing in both Japanese and English. Her voice actress is Asakawa Yu and she was designed by Manga Artist, Kei, the same designer of Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, and Kagamine Len. Like her predecessors, Luka’s is based on “sound” (ne) combined with the term “circulate” (meguri).

According to this blog, the cosplayer is known as Ibara, and she has a ton of cosplays done already. I think this is one of my favorites from her works though. Thank you for sharing this!
