As some of you might know, I am an avid Hatsune Miku fan (Hence being called Miku Guardian in Team Blue).. Being a Miku fan, I try to find any nice songs by her, collecting figurines of her even to the extent of getting anything Hatsune Miku-related..

Well,as you can see in the above picture, those are currently all my Hatsune Miku-related stuffs; from figurines to artworks.. Well, let us begin with figurines..

I am sure you all know some of the Hatsune Miku figurines, especially the Good Smile ones.. Well we have the Nendo Hatsune Miku.. For figure review of her, click here..

Then I have the Max Factory Figma Miku.. A very cool figma indeed since she has her own mic stand and of course the 2 leeks that comes with her… xD

I didn’t make any figure review of Figma Miku but I did bring her out for an outing.. For more pics of her with DMC, click here..

Then we have the 1/8 GSC Hatsune Miku.. Shiny outfit indeed.. ^^

Sadly, I didn’t have enough time to review the 1/8 GSC Miku.. I will do so when time permits..

Next up, we have Hatsune Miku artworks.. Nothing would be more beautiful than an artwork since the artist painstakingly drew and paint the artwork all by him/herself.. Well, drawing is easy.. Painting beautifully on the other hand takes practice and patience..

Well, we can begin with this big Black★Rock Shooter (BRS) artwork by Kaizeru.. The original Black Rock Shooter is originally created (drawn, painted,etc) by Huke.. Well, I got this artwork at the end of a recent art exhibition showcasing digital arts; Kaleidoscope..

This is a close-up shot of BRS..

BRS looks splendid in the artwork.. It was totally great to see one of the many beautiful artwork of her.. Well, this is made possible by the Collateral Damage Studios (CDS) team.. Thanks guys.. For more info about Kaleidoscope, click here..

Next we have this small Miku artwork.. Though small in size, the art looks fantastic.. I would like to thank the group who made this for CosFest but unfortunately I already forgotten their name.. Pity.. -_-;;

For more info about this loot from CosFest, click here.. ^^

Last of this category is the Kei’s Gallery Artbook by Kei himself.. The artbook was hard to get IMO since I’ve been searching it high and low for a few months before Squee told me about it being sold at Kinokuniya..

However, it was actually Feidamu who got it for me.. Thanks Fei.. ^^

Anyway, the artbook is filled with alot of Kei’s artworks; all of them are stunningly beautiful.. I couldn’t resist but to see evry artwork for myself.. Other than just the Hatsune Miku and the Kagamine Twins artwork, there are also other great artworks,some of them even from animes like Gurren Lagann..

I have yet to review this artbook so do wait for it.. ^^

Well, lets move on to music then.. Music is the key that connects people around the world.. Music can also bring people closer to one another.. As for me, listening to Hatsune Miku’s songs does bring me closer to some of the Hatsune Miku fans out there like Kevinay and Kazearashi..

For a start, lets begin with Talisman, an OST + Artbook combine into one.. This was made by the CDS group and it has some beautiful Hatsune Miku songs and even artworks made by the group themselves…

To see more on this, click here..

Moving on to the most popular Hatsune Miku music album, Re;Packaged.. A very good album by the Livetune group.. It has great songs like “Last Night, Good Night’ and “Light Song”.. Listening to those songs back then makes me want to get this album itself..

This was thanks to Kazearashi for ordering it for me from Amazon.jp.. The album looks nice; back and front.. It was totally exhilarating getting this album since they were not sold in Singapore at all.. xD

Well, thats totally the end of the Hatsune Miku related stuff I have to show you guys/gals.. I hope you enjoyed reading this entry.. If you do want to get one of these, do get it from Amazon.jp, they are the most trustworthy place to get original goods..

But don’t think that this is just the end of the collection.. I still have my hopes on getting more official Hatsune Miku stuffs.. Here are some of them:

The Volks Hatsune Miku…

The Sega’s UFO-Catcher Hatsune Miku.. Looks simple yet pretty.. ^^;

Last but not least, the chibi Miku from the Mixing Box set.. I have yet to get this one… Maybe very soon indeed.. xD

Getting these Hatsune Miku stuffs isn’t always easy and some of them are quite expensive (due to expensive shipping).. I do hope that future stuffs will get slightly cheaper so that I can save money for things other than just Hatsune Miku.. ^^

Oh well, gonna end this entry here then.. This is the Miku Guardian, signing off.. ^-^

Well, as stated in yesterday’s post, today is the last day of Kaleidoscope where artists come together and showcase their art piece to the public.. Some of these artist are not just the locals but also friends from the regional countries.. It was also quite a crowd-puller at Funan… ^^

The event was held on Saturday to Sunday, 1st – 2nd November at the Funan IT Mall’s Atrium, located on the first floor..

Although the exhibition was actually quite small, there were alot of digital artworks on show.. Me and Fuzzy got to see the beautiful artworks up close.. Well, we’ve counted 5 different categories, each with their own specific artworks…

So let us begin with Collateral Damage Studios (CDS) artworks.. They are known for creating most of their digital artworks of anime characters; usually those you most probably can recall.. They are also the host for this year Kaleidoscope so it is a big thanks to them for organising such a great exhibition..

Anyway, I’ll just show you all the pictures regarding to each categories in the exhibiton.. Enjoy looking at the posters… ^^

Black Rock Shooter artwork looks nice..

The Kaleidoscope girl artwork makes some people drool… xD

Little Busters anyone??

Next up we have the Imaginary Friends Studios (IFS) , a well known art studio in Singapore which is famous around the world for their own renowned artworks.. They were there to showcase some of their artworks which some of you might recognise in some of the games you played..

Like this for example; the artwork of their DoTA game.. It is a really nice artwork IMO.. ^^

An artwork for an online game? Possibly..

Next up, we have the Tertiary Students Category where we can see most of the artworks from Universities, especially NUS.. Well, when I go and take a look at them, I took a liking to some of the artworks from there..

Here are some of the artworks in the “Tertiary Students” category..

CAN you guess all of the characters in this artwork?? xD

Nagi is <3.. ^^

The Regional Artists were next and I have to say, their artworks are pretty amazing.. From what I heard, the artists are all from Malaysia so its good to see their artworks..

This is my favourite artworks among the rest; Black Rock Shooter.. I love the details the artist put on the artwork and love the way he paint BRS’s blue flames from her left eye..

This Black Rock Shooter artwork is a must get.. x3

Last but not least, we have the Independent Artists; not part of any group whatsoever.. However, being independent doesn’t really mean their artwork doesn’t look nice or something like that.. Some of them are pretty beautiful to see..

This Hatsune Miku artwork is simply amazing..

We got to have some Touhou love, right??

Well, apart from those 5 categories, there are the doodle boards which anyone can draw on it.. Alot of people drew some nice artworks, especially this one of Shana..

Can anyone identify the character??

And among those I spotted a Hatsune Miku sketch.. Very nice indeed.. ^^

Ah, the exhibiton ended quite early on the 2nd day, so me and Fuzzy pretty much went home earlier.. But that doesn’t mean we went home empty-handed.. Well, we politely ask CDS whether or not we could take home some of the artwork as keepsake.. So, what artworks did we get from the exhibiton??

Well, I brought home the Black Rock Shooter artwork while Fuzzy got the “Green Hairs” artwork..

“Green Hairs” looks very nice indeed, with about 7 well-known characters in it, espcially Miku.. xD

Artwork is by Jon Ong from NUS..

Yea, when I got this, I was like ‘Wow!”… Nuff said.. ^^;;

Artwork is by Kaizeru..

Well, thats all I have from Kaleidoscope.. The exhibition was amazing even though the exhibition is quite small.. Me and Fuzzy got to enjoy looking at the artworks and also the sketches drawn by people we never met before..

It is a pity I couldn’t get the Hatsune Miku artwork since the owner wants to keep it for himself which I’m fine with it.. They couldn’t hand out the posters that could be given away to just anyone because they do not want the pictures to be misused.. So I shall keep guard to it 24/7.. xD

At least we get to meet up with some of the gang from CDS and also from IFS.. To those who did attend this event, hope you enjoyed it as well.. We hope to see the next Kaleidoscope next year.. ^^
