"I'm Considering Research on Cosplay." A University Student Cosplayer Expresses Hatsune Miku

——There are so many costumes and variations for Miku. Is there any other Miku costume you like besides the one you wore this time?

Reirei: I love the costume from the "Magical Mirai Summer Festival" held in 2020! The shape and color of the kimono are so pop and cute! I want to try it in the future!

——Do you have any announcements about your activities or any cosplay you would like to try in the future?

Reirei: Moving forward, I’d like to focus on Miku and actively challenge myself with characters from other works, such as 'Evangelion' and 'Frieren: Beyond Journey's End'!

Also, I’m currently a fourth-year university student writing my thesis, and I’m considering research on cosplay! I might reach out to gather data, and I would appreciate it if you could kindly respond when that time comes! Thank you very much in advance!

——Thank you very much!

Despite it being only their third attempt, Reirei managed to capture the charm of Miku. We look forward to supporting their research as they approach cosplay from an academic perspective.
