Here marks the fifth year of my closet's evolution with some product placement for Daiya no Ace.

Past years' posts: 2016 | 2015 | 2014 | 2013

So in the last few years I wasn't able to get a complete post done in time, but I tried this year! This is everything branded (major and indie) and whatever else I wanted to show, but I might have forgotten some things (sorry friends). Does not include offbrand aka things found in normie stores. Unfortunately, no graph for this year, sorry!

Lolita

I'm coming out of my closet (lol get it) and finally showing my secret sweet lolita side. I just really like ice cream, okay. I found myself buying more lolita this year because I couldn't be arsed to wear ouji.

Oni-Con 2014 Friday: Ganglion Concert!!

This year Oni-Con had Ganglion as the main musical guest and I was really excited to see them live! Oni is my favorite model and I've been listening to the band for a little over a year. It was actually really surprising when Oni-Con announced them as the guest because I never thought they'd be able to come overseas. Big thanks to Babel Entertainment for bringing them over.

Some of my buddies for the weekend were Hina & Alys, Pengu, Miss Lillith, and grimy13 in respective order.

This photo placement may or may not be intentional.

My coord for Friday was of course inspired by Ganglion who were rocking their latest black and bordeaux looks provided by Baby, the Stars Shine Bright and Alice and the Pirates. Originally, I was wearing a Boz cape, but it got way too hot for that. Some day, I will get to debut that cape I swear.

We got the front row, so I managed to get great concert pictures. Since it was Halloween, everyone except Oni came out in masks. Ebi was wearing a R.I.P. skull, Sagara wore Batman, and Vivi was wearing a kunoichi facial mask.

If you're not familiar with Ganglion, here's a short introduction (left to right):
Ebi on bass
Sagara on guitar and backing vocals
Oni on vocals and guitar
Vivi on drums

I don't recall the exact setlist, but I definitely remember them playing loser, tonight, Distance, 碧く揺れて, BLACK OUT, 幸福のセオリー, Go straight your way, and sink. Ganglion is amazing live. When you hear them on CD is one thing, but hearing them in person is so much more impressive. They are so energetic and so talented! Here are some of my favorite pictures I took.

Vivi posted this one on her blog!

Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures of Vivi because I could only see a cymbal over her face the whole time. The life of a drummer is hard. More photos are under the cut.
