My favorite story was a goof I
made at Otakon 2006. It was midday Saturday, maybe two hours before the
masquerade, and I stopped to use the bathroom in the BCC. I did my
thing, fixed my cosplay makeup, and noticed that there were two other
guys in the bathroom--both talking in Japanese. I had finished my first
year of university with Japanese language studies in there, and like a
good little weeaboo, I wanted to talk with them. One of the men was very
stylishly dressed and reminded me a little bit of Gackt. So, I asked
him in Japanese, "Excuse me; are you a Gackt cosplayer?"
He
replies in English, "No, I am Yoshiki."
I apologize and we go our
separate ways. I go to the masquerade a few hours later, and during the
intro, they introduce the Otakon guest of honor:
...Yoshiki.
Oops.
And, that's the story of how I probably insulted one of the most famous
J-Rockers of all time. |
