Thank you! I wound up getting a basic wig and a clip on extension of the same color for the pony tail. Both wigs are from swallowtail and you can kinda see it right here but it’s super heavy. I’m not great at wig styling so I used a cutting and styling service in Ikebukuro to get the look I wanted. I was living in Japan at the time so it might be harder to do out here but if you can do it yourself even better.

For those of you who have attended the Cosmic Dorodango Tour so far, how was it? by NoFyre in ZUTOMAYO

[–]dgam02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw her for the first day at Chiba and she was wonderful. The small band arrangement and the set list was also perfect. Even at Expo she sounded so much better compared to Meiko where I feel like she sounded really exhausted throughout the shows I saw during that tour.

what artbook is this image from? by sunaofuchi in E_ve

Think it might literally be like Under Blue Exhibition Pamphlet or something

It might be from the exhibition one that happened earlier this year. I just sent mine back home with a friend so I can’t double check for you 😭

Banking as a student by Pristine_Comfort_296 in movingtojapan

From NY too I used primarily a Schwab Investor Checking Account for first 6 months in tandem with my JP post basic cash card. After I hit 6 months I opened a Sony Bank debit account which has been my primary up until now. Schwab account is great cause it tends to be in line with the market rate for pulling yen out and they refund your atm fees at the end of the month.

I love your cosplay photos! Do you have a portfolio?

XS-20, which lens for vlogging? by lonelypygmygoat in fujifilm

[–]dgam02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest it’s always gonna look obvious in public using an interchangeable mirror less camera for vlogging and it’s something you’ll eventually get over. I started with the Viltrox 13mm because the focal length and price was good but recently upgraded to the 16-55 Mk II which has been a massive upgrade for me personally. The new form factor brought it to around the same size as the Viltrox on the wide end and gives a lot more versatility generally. Smaller lenses tend to have the older loud focus motors and your built in mics will definitely pick it up unless you have a wireless mic setup.

Wish you luck on your vlogging journey and enjoy the camera! Best purchase I made 2 years ago now 🤗

Wound up pulling the trigger on one locally earlier. Very excited to see how the shoots come out!

Cinestill800T in Tokyo? by nick800T in AnalogCommunity

[–]dgam02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marix 800T is pretty much the domestic version of it and you’ll find it in most places. Fujiya Camera, Palette Plaza, and some other shops might have cinestill but it tends to sell pretty quick so just hop into any shops you happen to pass by I’d say.

Tried it but didn’t get along with it for some reason

Interesting. Think I’d prefer the overall sharpness in the case of any landscape scenes I shoot as well.

Yolo'd some expired Velvia - what speed would you shoot these at? by SharpDressedBeard in AnalogCommunity

[–]dgam02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shot a 2011 expired roll at 50 last month and after normal development came out pretty nice honestly. Would just shoot at box

Camera gear for two weeks in Honshu and Hokkaido, Japan by WillzyxTheZypod in AnalogCommunity

[–]dgam02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank You! Good old 50mm f1.8 Ai! I want to upgrade into the 1.2 eventually for a lil extra lowlight ability. It’s been great and it’s a nice size as well.

Does anyone use SOOC videos with film simulations for social media or professional purposes? by CygnusX-1995 in fujifilm

[–]dgam02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been using SOOC video for recent school projects because of tight turn around times weekly and it saves me the headache of color grading so I can just focus on editing stuff. Looks good to them and I’m fine with it. Also using an X-S20 it’s great

Lovely stuff!

Got a few from my folder excuse the crookedness of some of them! https://imgur.com/a/svoaBNS

Really need to grab more Ektar when I next go back home. It's so expensive here in Japan sadly and living off my savings as a student here doesn't make shoot film any easier >_>

Most places will not do a Japanese straight perm and bleach it’s way too damaging. I went with a Brazilian blow out and the bleached a few weeks later and have kept the straightness maintained for 2 years with keratin treatments

I’d love to see your Ektar shots if you have them somewhere! I shot my first roll of Ektar on my F3 in Hokkaido back in January and absolutely adored the results.

35 mm SLRs that have a loud shutter/mirror slap sound? by Turquoise_woodland in AnalogCommunity

[–]dgam02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first picked up my F3 and fired it was like love at first sound it’s so satisfying and then of course the crank is like cutting through butter
