[Nangong Yu Cosplay] Zenless Zone Zero Angels of Delusion Stage Records

This set of cosplay photos for the Zenless Zone Zero Angels of Delusion band is officially released. From the selection of clothing fabrics, the details of wig trimming and coloring, to the matching of these guitars and bass props, we put a lot of effort into it. The shoot this time aimed to present an effect that has not only static beauty but also dynamic stage tension. As Nangong Yu, I chose this look because its passionate color scheme and handsome yet slightly playful temperament attracted me very much.

The stage setting on the day of the shoot was highly professional, with a massive LED background screen scrolling pixel-art animations. Combined with the purple spotlights on-site, the entire environmental lighting effect instantly dialed the stage atmosphere to the max. The wig and clothing colors of the three of us matched strikingly, with black, light gold, and pink hair colors corresponding to the personalities of different characters. During the early makeup trial, to prevent the intense stage lights from washing out the makeup, we appropriately increased the saturation of the eyeshadow and blush, while embellishing the inner corners of the eyes and aegyosal with silver highlighter so that the eyes would look exceptionally spirited in front of the lens.

The bows, ties, and waist lacing on the clothes were all adjusted entirely by hand. Although it looks lightweight on the outside, in reality, the layered black tulle structure beneath the skirt needs to be meticulously fixed to maintain a perfect skirt arc even when lifting props or performing leg-raising actions. Because we had to switch frequently between different props during the shoot—such as the microphone shown in the picture, an exaggerated inflatable hammer, and finally the guitar, bass, and keyboard—the moving and repositioning took quite some time. However, the moment I stepped onto the stage, all the fatigue was replaced by excitement.

Photography for anime cosplay emphasizes immersion the most; we need to imagine in our minds the state of a concert standing before thousands of people, expressing that flamboyance and confidence through body language. When fine-tuning movements together with Chinatsu and Airi, we often reminded each other about the extension angle of our arms and the height of our chins, striving to form a stable triangular composition with a staggered high-low sense in the frame. When the photographer said "get ready," combined with the pulsing visuals on the background screen, we instantly immersed ourselves into the character states. Every time the shutter clicked, it felt like recording a real Live performance.

This Zenless Zone Zero themed photoshoot is not just about producing photos, but also a practice of teamwork and aesthetic expression. We have always hoped to restore the musical atmosphere of the work with the utmost sincerity, so that the audience viewing the pictures can also feel the unique charm of the anime stage. The freezing of these moments is indeed well worth remembering.
