When did you start cosplaying and what got you into it?
妳為什麼和什麼時候開始cosplay?
Izumi: I started cosplaying since the middle of last year. I got interested in cosplaying because I believe that by dressing up as the character that I like I can become more in-character with it.:D
Through cosplay, I’m able to meet many people of the same interest and hobby as me.
鯉泉:我從去年年中開始cosplay。我會對cosplay有興趣是因為我相信,藉由扮成我所喜愛的角色,我可以更加貼近角色。:D
藉由cosplay,我可以認識很多有相同興趣和嗜好的人。

Do you visit conventions in singapore? 你有參加在新加坡舉辦的cosplay大會嗎?
Izumi: Yes,I visit certain conventions in Singapore like the AFA amd(應作and) other major events. For the smaller events, I would just dress up casually and visit.
鯉泉:是的。我參加很多大會像是亞洲動漫節,還有很多其他大型的活動。而參加那些比較小的活動時,我則會打扮得比較隨意。
What was the most challenging costume you’ve ever had to make?哪一個妳所做過的服裝是妳覺得最有挑戰性的?
Izumi: I don’t really make all the costume that I wear and usually make the props for the characters instead, like hats, soft toys and wings. I put my heart into making all of them so it was all a fruitful experience making them all, I did not find it tiring despite them all being pretty challenging for me.XD
鯉泉:我並不會真的去做我所穿的服裝,常常只會弄那些角色所穿的道具,像是帽子、軟軟的玩具和翅膀等等。我會用心去做它們,所以這會是一個富有成效的經驗。於此同時,我並不會覺得很累,儘管做它們對我來說的確很有挑戰性。XD

I saw your Vocaloid cosplays on deviantart (應為deviantART)and I really love them. Which one is your favorite? 我在deviantART很多你扮初音家族的cosplay並且我很喜歡它們。哪一個是妳最喜歡的?
Izumi: It’s hard for me to choose between the spa version of Miku and Magnet Luka, but I prefer the Magnet Luka more. Even though I have more uke-style face, but I really really like Luka. *blushes*
鯉泉:對我來說很難去抉擇spa版的初音和巡音,但我比較偏好巡音。儘管我有一張偏向可愛風的臉蛋,但我真的真的很喜歡巡音。
