[networkworld]

The HD version is available now! YouTube takes a little time to process it.

[StarlightDreamer12]

@522loki Actually, I think she just said something like "...Yoshiki, the one band member who has lived there for several years." I think it's the translator's fail. :P

[522loki]

@Hyperactiveroxerchic

lol i'm just kidding, western chicks are hot too, lol just dont know about the ones in this vid O_o

[Hyperactiveroxerchic]

@aznfishie Hey! I'm western lol. Well it's there first time for cosplaying so maybe that's why. Not to mention new cosplayers were surrounded by experienced cosplayers... I guess it just highlights the poor cosplay >_>. But hey it was a good try.

@Hyperactiveroxerchic
