And you thought Lelouch only sang in your dreams. XD

I'm half scared that I'm either going to get flamed or glomped for posting this. XD

Long story put short, some friends of mine are in anime music band called Antimotion and all the members cosplayed for their first big concert (mixed in with a video game music band called Battlecake). The singer was dressed up as Lelouch and here's the video of their live!rendition of "Colors", one of the theme songs of the Code Geass anime. My friend and I were both dressed as C.C. (me as Season 1 C.C., her as schoolgirl!C.C.) and the two of us were in charge of video taping and manning the projector that was playing AMV's in the background. If you hear us talking in the video, I apologize. I also apologize for how geeky he was being. ^^;

Enjoy! :)

Annnnd since I've already shown this group my cosplay a while back, I'll avoid spamming you  I'll leave you guys with one picture (pre-concert) of me as C.C. and my friend (the singer) as Lelouch and another pic of just him sound testing. Because I know you're all dying for a closer look. XD

*****
More videos from Antimotion's concert "Rocktaku" can be found here. Other songs are from Naruto, NANA, Dragonball Z, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Fullmetal Alchemist. (I have a clip of the Death Note song, but I haven't yet uploaded that one.)

More information on Antimotion/more pictures from the concert can be found at my personal journal, firebird_88 . NOTE: I am still in progress of uploading/fixing pictures so these will take a few days to show up. They will be friend-locked, so feel free to friend me if you want to see them.

Mods, sorry, I don't know how to tag the video since it's not actually an amv. X_x;;

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

His mic was actually dying at this point, he usually sings way better, haha. Thank you!

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks! I'm quite proud they pulled it together in the amount of time they had, they were only considering getting the cosplays and putting on this concert about a month ago.

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

I'll let him know, thank you! :)

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :3 I'll let them know. (And thanks for liking the costume, they more or less forced me to pull it out again because it was such a pain to wear. XD;; ) Your English is fine!

MOAR SINGING.

[ladyassassin27.livejournal.com]

Wow, your friend is a really good singer ... and the two of you'll look simply gorgeous, cosplaying!

The thought of lulu in a band has given me endless Lulz, and this was pretty darn close ...so XD

Thanks for sharing!

[isuzuchan44.livejournal.com]

Oh good lord, I would love to see a Lelouch singing...

I lahv cosplayers like this. /happiness

Re: MOAR SINGING.

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

Dammit I'm on a computer with no sound atm. I will watch this later, I swear!

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

He is! ^^ I was amazed the first time I heard him too, though he's better with soft songs and sustained notes than fast songs. (I think he's had training since middle school, I can't really remember.)

Thank you! :3

Hahaha, oh yes, I was very amused. XD I kind of got to help pick the bandmate's outfits and I saw him and was like "YOU ARE LELOUCH, HANDS DOWN." Thanks so much for liking it! :3

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

(I may have misunderstood... Did the video work for you?)

XD Glad it makes you happy, heh.

[inastr8jacket.livejournal.com]

Don't know if you've seen it yet, or if it's been posted yet, since YouTube won't work on the computer I'm on, but there was a Lelouch/Zero cosplayer at MangaNEXT that sang Viva la Vida. Ridiculously awesome :) There are videos of him online~

His opening narration was something like "I'd like to tell you a story, a story about my life." asjkdfhkajdhf ;___;

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

Yep, someone posted it and yep, just saw it. Really cool!

Re: MOAR SINGING.

[chickee1.livejournal.com]

The first part made me laugh. Too bad the sound isn't so great, he sounded good!

Re: MOAR SINGING.

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

FINALLY SAW IT! Ooooh that was so COOL, I wish I saw it live. XD Kind of sad we didn't see more flaunting of that outfit, it looks great!

[ladyassassin27.livejournal.com]

His voice does seem to have an incrediable range, and after watching the second vid, I agree, I think its more suited to music of the classical sort. (He must have had, otherwise its pure natural talent! ^^)

He does look alot like Lelouch XD, kewl, well then just one question, who is the person playing the drums dressed as ... I've been wondering, it looks familar but I cam seem to place it, and know the other two are Greed form FMA and Itachi? form Naruto.

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

*nodnod* I guess he has fun with anime music though, since he doesn't complain. It's just hard to hear him over the guitars and the drums. XD

The drummer was Lupi/Lupy from One Piece, though I think he put his hat down somewhere. (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/Lomelindi88/CC%20Cosplay/DSC05863.jpg) The guitarist was actually Tobi from Naruto, but he had to take off his mask half way through 'cause it was too hard to play with it on. (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/Lomelindi88/CC%20Cosplay/DSC05868.jpg) ^___^ I didn't pick those two's costumes, they've already decided. I got to pick the Greed and the Lelouch though. XD (I really wish the Greed had his sunglasses on, but he said it was too hard to play with them.)

[ladyassassin27.livejournal.com]

Don't we all have fun with anime music? XD Although I wish I had a band or knew one, all I have is my church choir lol XP

Ah, all I could see was that he was wearing red, so I couldn't tell. Oh, Tobi ...Lol. Yeah well with the lighting it would be hard to see let alone play with sunglasses.

I must say though, they make and intresting band don't they, Lelouch, Greed, Tobi and Lupi ... crossover crack much? XD

Man I wish stuff like this happened in my country.

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

Haha actually I'm best friends with the guy that plays Greed and he was running around asking me to help him LOOK for the sunglasses, so I totally assumed he would wearing them. D: I didn't even get a picture of him in them. (I had a feeling he probably forgot where he left them, lol.)

Oh god, yeah. I like how they all spontaneously decided on different fandoms, haha. I half-heartedly suggested Zero's R2 outfit, but we eventually agreed that he'd probably be dying from the layers. We had to find recognizable but easy-to-play-in outfits for them. ^^;

Haha, oh god, you don't know how weird it was. All of us are students in this university and cosplaying/anything of this sort has NEVER been done before, so we were getting tons of weird looks for being dressed up. BUT the good thing is, our school is known for our geekiness so about 150 people showed up (way more than we were expecting) and lots of them were really happy to see us cosplay, so being brave/geeky was worth it. XD

[ladyassassin27.livejournal.com]

Too bad D: (lol, guys sometimes XD)

Yay for bravery/geekiness!! XD Really happy for you. Things like this would never in a million years happen in my collage, we're crazy, but apparently need to keep up a certain standard of professionalism *sigh* I guess this is what I get for going to law school.
