Did you know? There’s a cosplay tv program being broadcasted in Japan!

Its name, CosCosPlayPlay; and it delivers the latest cosplay info and tips to answer all the needs of the cosplayers out there. We were invited to the public filming on August 10th. Normally, the filmings are done in private studios, but, this time, they rented out half an elementary school (not used as a school anymore), let regular cosplayers come in freely in their favorite costume, and filmed the program inside the school!

The actual broadcast date for this will be on September 1st at 9pm (Japan time, of course) on Fuji Satellite Television channel 721. Have your friend in Japan tape it for you!

First, here is the main cast posing in front of the logo of the program.

Cosplaying Haruhi is Rin Suzuki!

She really brings out Haruhi’s energy well.

Next, cosplaying Nagato is Shizuka Doue!

The quiet and enimatic aura of Nagato is perfectly expressed!

Dressed as Mikuru is Marie Sukegawa!

She looks so innocent.

Cosplaying Tsuruya is Mizuho Nishimura.

Tsuruya’ charm is reproduced to perfection!

And Inui Tatsumi, the director of Cure, Japan’s largest Cosplay community, is also performing as Dr. Shamal. He looks better than the real thing, don’t you think?

Filming for the program:

Sometimes it was lively like this, sometimes the cosplayers in the audence were in the shot, and other times they shot a scene in an outside location.

And here are the other cosplayers who came to the filming.

Cosplayers’ normally can’t have photo shoots at schools so we were all having fun shooting many different situations. Since it was a former school, many cosplayers came as character’s from REBORN! Other than that, I saw many characters from Haruhi and Evangellion. A whopping 11 cosplayer’s gathered as characters from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure!

This broadcasting ends the first season of CosCosPlayPlay. However, this isn’t the end! The season premier of the second season is on October 27th! However, the next shooting will be a little different from this one since it will be shot in a studio.
