First of all, I would like thank my dear sister, Peggy for taking all the trouble to come up with this cosplay and dance with me. This dance was first dance at World Cosplay Summit 1st Preliminary Round 2011 - Singapore at Orchard Central.
The idea of these two costume is actually a combination of Butterfly on right shoulder and Meltdown from Project Diva Arcade. I just thought that both costume look matching BUT you notice that I added my own creativity to Len's costume instead to match mine. Basically, I added a long cape like on the hip with the same logo which is located at the back on my costume. The cape definitely enhance the overall effect of the dance movement. If you look closer, a shiny black cloth was chosen for the inner side of the cape so as to add details to the cape and make it not so dull looking. Hence, this image of Len wont be seem elsewhere as this is an add-on. Perhaps one day I hope to see someone use this idea on their costume.
Not forget to mention our LED light shoes and earphone. This is the first time we play with light and you can definately find us in the dark. I still remember the host during WCS round mentioned that we can go disco using this shoes. It's not easy to wear this whole outfit as wire has to be connected all the way from head to toes. We also need to hide those wire inside our costume to the extend of cutting a hole on the sock for the wire to goes around our shoes.
This video is also meant to be a dedication for my love to this song. I really love this song very much and so I decided to learn the steps and make it into a video. We have made quite a few attempts in order to dance the whole song without mistake. I want to EMPHASIZE that we did dance the whole song without stopping during the filming though the video has been edited. We practiced the dance lots of time at home as we got a big front mirror to let us in synchronise our movement. I had a lot of fun learning the dance with her and sometime burst into laughter when we dance a wrong move. One regret is that although I thought that my dance movement was big enough but wait till I see those professional dancers on youtube, I just find that I need more strength in our dancing. Of course! Though our dance movement looks "light-hearted"(not much engery) now but I believe that I get get better next time!!!~
Lastly, I want to thans Nik Yan for helping us in filming this video and lucky that he got this big spot light that bright up our faces. Otherwise, you will be seeing two pairs of shoes dancing only.
