Occasionally Conveying Darkness… The Expressions I Focused on for My Cosplay of Ruby from "Oshi No Ko"

——What aspects did you want to express with this cosplay?

Aikawa：This time, the outfit is from the "POP IN 2" worn at the end of the second season of the anime, and I memorized all the choreography. Also, during the production of this MV in the series, there are scenes where Ruby continues brightly as an idol, intertwined with scenes where she learns a harsh truth—I'll keep it vague to avoid spoilers—and becomes troubled. So, I focused on expressions and poses that occasionally convey a sense of darkness.

——I see. Why did you choose the "POP IN 2" outfit?

Aikawa：I love the song "POP IN 2," and I wanted to dance to it myself! That's why I chose that MV outfit.

——Could you tell us about your future plans or any cosplays you would like to try?

Aikawa：I love cosplay, of course, but I also enjoy being in front of people and creative activities, so I'd like to engage in various activities such as video posting and voice work! For future cosplays, I'm interested in characters from "Blue Archive," which I'm currently into, and the VTubers from Hololive that I love!

——Thank you very much!

Aikawa's cosplay, with its hidden darkness within cuteness, deeply resonated. We look forward to seeing what kind of creativity her multi-faceted activities will bring in the future, making her someone to watch.
