so, what do you do in slime-sama?
I stopped being technical director...since the beginning~ For now, I'm just the pose manager for our models. They'd be so lost without me.

any other names you're called by?
Midori-chan. I'm called that everywhere.

do you have a favorite anime/manga?
Currently? Bleach, Code Geass, and Black Cat~

a favorite game?
Dynasty Warriors! I don't play other games anymore...

what got you into cosplay?
Well, I don't have my own cosplays yet, but I started liking it around 8th grade. By the end of the year, I was determined to make some. Although, that process isn't going as well as I'd wanted it to be.

what got you and the team together?
Actually, that's all my fault. At first, I thought we should be together more often besides Fanime. So, I offered that we make a cosplay group. Our group is constantly undergoing changes like, who's in, who's not, what questions to make, what cosplays to do, things like that. Although we're in the process of making everything, I still think making the idea was still a good idea.

have any other hobbies?
Photography. My amazing angles just blow my friends away so I'm mostly in charge with the posing and the shots~

tips for cosplayers/photographers?
Don't use flash, or high contrast. Those make the pictures look to unrealistic and highly edited. The pictures should look natural; composition, angle, and the character's pose. Make sure to keep reference pictures nearby of the character you want to cosplay, and have some music while you work~ After all, you could get bored without it. If there's wig problems, ask a friend and let them be your eyes. Oh yeah, don't think hugging a random cosplayer is beneficial. Be sure to ask first, so that you don't scare them. Okay? That's all for now~
