Hi friends,

I've just too much stuff lying around, so I thought about selling again a few things I probably won't wear anymore.
If you're interested in any of them, feel free to send me a note!

SHIPPING: The shipping costs depend on where you live. They'll always be added to the cosplay's price, but of course I don't know yet how much the shipping will cost in any case. I'll keep them as low for you as possible. I ship worldwide!


SIZES: All sizes are Small / EUR: 34 / 36


PRICES: All prices are what I had to spend on the materials, nothing is added for the tailoring because I wore them before. In some cases it's even less than the material costs. Please respect the prices, I only used the best suitable fabrics so they're often not the cheapest ones. But if you want a cosplay really badly but you can only pay a little less than the price, we can talk about it. I hope that's ok for you!




Ayanami and Hyuuga from 07 Ghost

included:
Ayanami: embroidered coat and shoulder cape, lots of golden metal embroidery (deluxe heavy metal handmade quality), emblem, hat with embroidery and metal emblem, golden belts
Hyuuga: emboridered coat and shoulder cape, lots of golden metal embroidery (deluxe heavy metal handmade quality), emblem, golden belts
Price:
Ayanami: $180

Prize: $200
COSTUME, WIG AND WING CAN ALSO BE BOUGHT SEPARATELY
Price costume: $50
Price wig: $60
Price wing: $90
important: It is possible that the wing can't be shipped to certain countries. In any case, shipping costs will be VERY high (inside germany: 50 €/70 $) because the package is absolutely oversized for almost every shipping company. If you want to buy the wing, I first have to get shipping informations




Riku - Kimono
included: two separate kimonos: a black one with turquoise collar and a wide light blue one, all-over embroidered, plus a padded silk obi with delicate flower embroidery

Price: $65


Riku - Drive Forms:

Price: $100





Of course you can also pay in €!


If there's anything you'd like, send me a note!
IF THERE'S A COSPLAY YOU'VE SEEN IN MY GALLERY AND YOU'D LIKE TO BUY, BUT IT'S NOT IN THE LIST - FEEL FREE TO ASK ME AND MAYBE WE CAN ARRANGE SOMETHING FOR YOU!

Have a great day, guys!
Yours,
NanjoKoji

2012 was a good and exciting year overall. Nothing majorly new happened, but good things stayed.

*Ravenic is my girlfriend now for almost three years. Time flies ♥


In january I decided togo for my doctorate, which I only considered loosely before. Now I wanted to make it happen, registered again at university and since them I'm officially striving for my doctorate degree.

At the same time, my show troupe TnS – Tsuki no Senshi's musical The Last Unicorn was up and running and the first half of 2012 consisted largely of a convention tour around Germany, performing our show. In august,The Last Unicorn retired and in the time of just three months, we got up the new musical for the premiere show in november in Berlin: Trinity Blood. By that we even beat the former record of our Final Fantasy VII:Crisis Core-musical that was set up in a span of 3 and 1/2 months. Trinity Blood was terribly much work but a lot of sparkling joy and an epic play I'm looking forward to present at multiple conventions in the first half of 2013.


For the love fo travelling, *Ravenic and me went via Dubai to the Maldives in june, visiting two tiny islands in the North Malé-Atoll and the Baa-Atoll, both of them hosting nothing but an exclusive resort and a few palm trees, surrounded by nearly untouched coral reef and millions of fish, which don't know men and meet them with curosity instead of fear. Diving through the reefs, the the shoals of fish, the stingrays, sharks, turtles, the candor and friendliness of wild animals that never learned to fear men, are amongst the best experiences one can make.
(For those interested, here's our travel log video: [link] )


Of course we also cosplayed a lot! My cosplay year in chronological order: Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy VII), Light Yagami (Death Note), Kotetsu Kaburagi (Tiger&Bunny), Muraki Kazutaka (Yami no Matsuei), Riku (Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance), Tidus (Final Fantasy X), Nanjo Koji (Zetsuai/Bronze), Dai Lee (Let Dai), Ken (Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse), Kuja (Final Fantasy IX), Iason Mink (Ai no Kusabi 2012), Ken (Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale), Kuroko Tetsuya (Kuroko no Basket) und Asami Ryuichi (Viewfinder), for Tsuki no Senshi also The Red Bull (The Last Unicorn), cardinal Francesco die Medici and Cain Nightlord (Trinity Blood). Wow. Let's see if 2013 can surpass that (I won't be tryingXD).



The first things waiting for me in 2013 will be the preparations for the new TnS musical Axis Powers Hetalia, to be premiering in summer, my thesis of course, new cosplays and a lot of challenges and fun! Let's rock it!


I hope your year was great and that the next one is promising to you! Be happy!!

Yours,
NanjoKoj

My dear friends,

tomorrow I'll be celebrating christmas with my family and girlfriend (here in Germany, we're celebrating in the evening of the 24th) and before I take my leave, I want to wish all of you, your loved ones, your friends, your families and everyone dear to you the most wonderful christmas ever! Please enjoy your holidays, don't worry about a thing, be happy and be together!

Hey guys,

currently there's a lot going on here and we're working hard with our friends and colleagues of the anime musical show troupe TnS - Tsuki no Senshi to get over with the last preparations for the premiere show of the brand new TRINITY BLOOD - THE MUSICAL in Berlin, Germany, on November 2nd.

I'll be starring as Cain Nightlord and Cardinal Francesco di Medici. It's going to be a huge and opulent play - everyone who know Trinity Blood will know what I'm talking about. So there's a lot of stressful preparations but of course we're also all looking forward very much to welcome you to our show in Berlin.


To those who'll attend Animaco, here are your dates:
See us on saturday at 6 p.m. for the premiere!


I hope to welcome some of you in the audience!


Looking forward to you,
NanjoKoji

Who is going to be there, whom can we meet? I'm looking forward to seeing you, guys!


Yours,
NanjoKoji

Dear followers and visitors of my profile,

thank you very much for your long-term support!
Since my follower group is reaching 20.000 now and handling the amount of daily feedback by you lovely people near-term is getting harder and harder. So I'd like to point out some things that make it easier for all of us:



The Essentials

- I can't answer every comment. If I could, I'd do, but that would require to spend hours in front of the laptop, just handling deviantArt. And there is also tumblr, Facebook, etc. Sadly I just don't have the time. Every comment is being read and appreciated! And whenever I find the time, I answer. But there will always be something left unanswered. My sincere apologies on that!

- Answering my notes sometimes takes long, too. For the same reasons as above - lack of time. But every note WILL get answered!

- If you want to get into personal contact with me, send me a note or contact me via tumblr -> [link] Facebook -> [link] , there you'll reach me best. I always love to get to know new people and cosplayers, so don't be afraid!

- If you're visiting german conventions, feel free to tell me! If I can arrange it in my schedule, we can also meet there.




The DON'Ts

- Ask me questions the photo's artist's comment would have already anwered. If you had read it. I used to sigh, overlook it and still answer everything in the past, but I won't go on like that anymore. I won't answer anymore questions reading the artist's comment alone would clear up. If you don't get an answer from me, this might be the reason. Please pay attention for a few seconds and spare both of us the trouble. Thanks.

- Write me in a different language than english (or german, for that matter). DeviantArt is an english-speaking platform. It's impolite towards the general users to ignore that fact. (if you're german and you know that I'm german, you can of course always approach me in german if you want to talk to me directly)

- Don't ask me for commissions (I don't have the time to do commissions) or full instructions on how to do a detailed cosplay. I'll always help you out about details but I don't have the time to explain every step of processing to you. There are good tutorials online which are better geared to help.

- Trolling, spamming, advertising in comments, guestbook entries, etc.

- Bullying users, no matter who




The DOs

- Feel free to contact me on any matter you're interested in! Especially cosplay!

- Be creative, suggest, enjoy! My cosplay gallery is there for your positive entertainment and I'd be happy if you enjoy my works.

- Let's get in contact anytime!

- Have fun!!





I hope it helps and you understand my position!

Have a good time!


Yours,
NanjoKoji

Hi guys,
I haven't posted anything random here in a while. My personal rants and stories are to be found on my tumblr -> [link] <-
and so deviantArt has become more of my cosplay mainbase. That also meant that I didn't update my journal in a while. Sorry to have kept you waiting, guys!

So, what's up here?
I'm currently working on my doctorate do archieve my Ph.D. as soon as possible.
I'm also working on a new musical with my show troupe. Fall 2012, we'll premier a new big musical (60 minutes show) featuring Trinity Blood! It's really a big thing,probably the biggest Trinity Blood show to have ever been brought on stage, and who knows Trinity Blood, knows the opulence. So there's a lot going on in my life!
By the way, I'll be acting the part of Cain Nightlord. Looking forward!

My free time is going great as well, I'm enjoying the summer with my lovely girlfriend *Ravenic (love you, dear!).


I'm behind on answering your messages again, I have to apologize for that. Right now, I have more than 1.000 unanswered messages and more than 120 notes still unopened, so please be patient. I'll be sure to answer everything I can but digging through my inbox usually takes me more than a day and it's full again in no time. I'm reading everything you write me and I'm really moved by your kindness and nice words. Thank you so much for your love and support! You make me smile every day!


Our next convention will be Animagic (Bonn, Germany) at the end of july where my troupe and me will be invited as guests again to perform our musical The Last Unicorn for the last time. We'll also be cosplaying Lucky Dog and I'll cosplay The Road to El Dorado together with my sister (this has been a long-term plan).
Afterwards, in September, *Ravenic and me are going to visit Connichi (Kassel, Germany). Our cosplay plans include Lightning and Caius (Final Fantasy XIII-2) and Barbie and Ken!
The next convention after Connichi will be Animaco, again as guests, to present the premiere show of the Trinity Blood Musical.
So you see - there are busy months ahead!


In the meantime I'll do my best to bring you with new cosplays! I'll put my strenght and love into something new to keep you entertained - that's the least I can do to thank you for your support!



Feel free to visit me on Facebook as well - you can find me here -> [link] <-
I'm looking forward to meet you there!

I also bring you a brand-new cosplay music video featuring *Ravenic and myself in my all time favourite series BRONZE - Zetsuai since 1989!

BRONZE is always a term for Art Déco illustrations featuring the haute couture designs from the late 80s / early 90s, a decadent modern setting and an erotic atmosphere. We did our best - enjoy!

Hi guys!

Having been away for some time, I bring you tons of new stuff - starting with a brand-new cosplay music video featuring *Ravenic and myself in my all time favourite series BRONZE - Zetsuai since 1989!

NanjoKoji

Hey there guys!

A few months ago *Ravenic and me watched Tiger & Bunny and loved it! Cosplaying it was of course a must (the first photos are already to be found in my gallery), but I felt really insipired to do another cosplay music video like the one we did for No. 6 last year (if you're interested, you can watch it here -> [link]

So we managed to complete it yesterday after a shooting on a very cold easter monday this week and we're happy to present you our little work!

Tiger & Bunny is a great show and I totally recommend it to everyone, but if you haven't seen it, it shouldn't be a problem to follow the video either.

We hope you like our music video - please enjoy!
