Death Note Cosplay- L Plays Vivaldi's "Winter" on the Violin

***If you found this video, please note that this is my very first time cosplaying L and that this was posted almost three years ago. My cosplay has since improved very much; Three years later I'm still cosplaying L, still playing the violin, and hopefully my improvements are noticeable in the videos taken of me at Anime Central 2009 and 2010. They should be readily visible in any related videos to this one; there are tons of them. *****

L plays the violin to show that he has more in common with Sherlock Holmes than his genius deductive abilities!

You've seen it in fanfic... or, maybe not... but anyway, here is my homegrown thrift store cosplay, and a little activity that takes slightly more skill than copying the mannerisms of an anime character for a youtube video. :)

You don't even look like L

[mephistophilesgirl]

Ha, this might be the lamest comment I've ever gotten. Nothing about the music or the evolution of my look in other videos, just something that sounds like a bitter fangirl looking for something to criticize.

[detectiveyoshi]

@mephistophilesgirl Hmmm really?... Well sorry but I'm not even a fangirl. But I found it kinda stupid of people like you to wear those stupid clothes of him if they can't look like him. Sorry but it looks really lame and L doesn't look good if people do this. If it is about the music you shouldn't wear this but that's just my opinion and if you like it, please do.

@detectiveyoshi

Yeah, really. What makes this even sadder is that you could totally be using the time you spend posting inane comments on youtube to actually develop a skill of some kind. Not that there's anything wrong with posting nothing but anime videos, but... wait. Fangirls do that.

This video is almost two years old, and my first cosplay. To be honest, the mean girl in me kind of wants to see what yours looks like.

[detectiveyoshi]

@mephistophilesgirl Come on I really don't understand why you are so angry you know.... I only said you don't look like him and what? It's not like I'm lying. I don't look like him either but I don't cosplay him. I like your violin playing so I didn't say anything about that right?... Your taking this waaaay to sirious. I wasn't trying to be mean or something..

[mephistophilesgirl]

@detectiveyoshi

I'm not angry. I actually have a talent and a life. Again, I want to see you cosplaying, and what gives you the right to tell others they make a character look bad. Where is it, girlie?

[darkwindsage]

dude chill out, you are making it sound terrible

[MeryLawliet54]

You played the violin really well! You seemed really L while you played, your disguise is very realistic.

(Sorry if the grammatic is not correct, I used "google translator" to write, I'm not English, I'm Italian. Sorry... But you said "che ore sono?" in 5.55 minutes? )

[SingOutToOurWorld]

...omg...are you god?

[winxcat]

See what the sugar's done to you. Awesome playing, xD my fave piece by Vivaldi :]

[Jacktion100]

omg realmente se parece a L O_O

[GeorgeEater]

You played really good but it was too fast for the movement and you totally skipped Movement two. And during the first movement, you seemed a little out of tunr in some parts, same with movement two. But other than that, you played very well.

[TheSirenofSaturn]

I don't care what people have said, I think your cosplay is very nice...but more importantly your talent is incredible!!! And to think you not only play with amazing skill but you have the entire piece memorized. I adore Vivaldi. Gotta love that crazy red-haired priest!!!

[KuraiY0ru]

Stop With The Lame Comments, It's Not Like All Of Us Got A Perfect Cosplay At The First Time, AND C'mon guys!!! not even i can play this song complete!

[SingOutToOurWorld]

OMG your amazing!!! what fucking grade are you in violin?!cuz my violin teacher is like...grade 10 and I showed this to her and she said this person has extraordinary talent...im only grade 4...and to think you cosplayed as my fave character from death note...I love you...will you marry me even though I'm a girl...

[DavidxGrossman]

Fantastic video, I must say. The performance is incredible (far surpassing my abilities) and the random, completely unrelated cosplay is rather entertaining.

For some reason, L playing the violin just makes sense.
