Photos and videos of two popular young artists wearing costumes and accessories seen in animation and other games will be on display at an exhibition in Hanoi September 11.
The Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam will organize the cosplay – short for costume play – works of YuRiE, a duo comprising YuRi and RiE.
YuRiE will appear as Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka from Vocaloid, a music game software, and YuRi as Ranka Lee from “Macross F,” an animated science fiction space drama.
YuRiE won the cosplay world title at last year’s World Cosplay Summit in Nagoya, Japan.
Their performance titled Sanada Hiroyuki and Date Masamune, for characters from the game software named Sengoku BASARA, were acclaimed by both the jury and audiences at the annual summit.
Cosplay’s characters are often drawn from popular fiction in Japan like manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games, and fantasy movies.
The exhibition will be held at the Exhibition Hall, 27 Quang Trung. Admission will be free.
