Hi, it's Ye Sun.
Considering I just finished my Hatsune Miku cosplay the other day,
I thought I would make a video about it.
If you've been keeping up with my progress,
you'll know that like half of it lights up.
So I thought I would make a video explaining those electronics and how it's worn.
So right now I have the wig and the rest of the headgear on this foam head
And everything else on a mannequin.
I guess I'll start with the headphones.
I made them like half-headphones because according to her original design,
No part of the headphones are actually seen going over the top of her head,
so I just made them like that.
There are three kinds of LEDs that light the yellow part,
The pink part, and then the blue microphone.
So on the inside, you'll see that there is a lot of electronics stuff in here.
There's this thing right here
That's called a "submersible LED"
just go onto Amazon and type in like "submersible LED" and whatever color you're looking for
and you'll find a ton of them.
I like them because they're really small, compact LED things
And all you have to do to turn them on is twist them like that.
So once those are turned on, there's a battery pack in the bottom here and here.
That light the pink and blue LED parts.
So here's a switch right here
And once that's flipped, the pink LEDs turn on.
And you have both sides lighted like that.
And then there's a switch on this part down here,
That is flipped like that
To turn the microphone on.
And so, you have the fully-lit headphones.
The next part is her hairbands.
There's a battery pack right back here,
And if you reach in, there's a button.
And it turns them on, like that.
Same with the other side.
..if I can find it...
There we go.
And, that's everything lit.
The battery pack wire does stick out a little in the back,
But surprisingly enough it's not that noticeable.
So that's good.
So that brings us to her thigh-highs.
Actually there's a hole,
There's a very small hole cut in the knee area
And down in the ankle area.
The thigh-highs are made of a stretch spandex kind of material,
So they're very skintight and fit right to my leg.
What's good about that is that
What I actually do is that I have blue submersible LED lights
And I just literally shove them down my sock
In between my leg and it
And the little LED bit sticks out right here.
That's pretty much all that is.
The hole is actually cut right beneath my KNEE (sorry, i misspoke)
And right above my ankle
So it doesn't actually impact my movement that much, which is good.
All these yellow parts on her skirt also light up.
Here you can kind of see the LEDs through there.
If you look on the underside,
They're all wired across the bottom of the skirt.
And what those lights are is that they're actually
Used for lighting the signs in front of restaurants and stores.
In the back, there's a battery pack
that hangs in a pocket
Hanging from a belt that I wear underneath the skirt
And there's a switch on that.
There we go!
And that lights everything up.
Now, there are her sleeve panels.
These are actually backed by 4 rows of striplights.
That are wired back, underneath the shirt,
and into the skirt
and underneath into a pocket that's right here
and for the other one, one that's right here.
An interesting thing about them is that they're sound-responsive,
so if you turn on music, or talk, or clap, or something
They'll change colors.
They have multiple settings, so you can control what they do, specifically.
That's the wire (from the sleeve panel) that hangs down
And there's a little unit here that has a microphone attached to it,
that hangs out right beneath the skirt.
and picks up sound.
So that's pretty neat!
On top of the battery packs,
there's also a switch that turns those on.
There we go!
So, those are pretty cool...
Same goes for the other one; I'll turn that one on right now
...if i can find the switch.....
there it is.
Oh, it's on purple right now. whaddya know.
Yeahhhhh! It's pretty cool!
So this is the remote (sorry, i misspoke) that controls the panels.
So you can set them to different settings, to different colors..
So there's red.
There's green.
There's blue, and so forth.
These are the music settings down here.
I usually put them on like the 3rd setting, I think..
There we go!
And as you can see,
As I talk,
It changes colors.
So I guess that's pretty much everything.
If anyone has questions or comments or whatever,
you can send me an Ask or Message on tumblr (see description)
and I'll do my best to answer it.
I've already answered some questions, so please look through those
that I've posted already.
As well as some small tutorial-type things
I also put up some links for the sleeve panel LEDs
They're actually car interior decorating things.
So yeah, read through those before you ask anything,
But otherwise, that's everything! :)
