Artist: microa
Judge’s comments:
“The artist designed this ‘Tsurumaki Maki meets Eastern rock’ themed outfit down to extremely fine details and with most exquisite taste. I can really feel the high level of attention put into the design in aspects like her hairstyle, the way her sash is tied, and how her guitar resembles a samisen. Both the rock and Japanese-style aesthetics mix perfectly well with no sense of clashing at all, making this an incredibly cool outfit!”

Runner-Ups
Artist: くじらへび / Kujirahebi
Judge’s comments:
“Design aspects like the look of her guitar and the floating speakers give this outfit a near-futuristic vibe and really bring it all together. The check patterned parts exist where you would expect Maki’s trademark red color to be, giving the design a really cool asymmetrical feel. I found myself thinking, ‘This is an outfit I would love to see her wear on stage!'”
Artist: John
Judge’s comments:
“I dare say that this is a rather simple yet very beautiful dress design for Maki that trades her trademark red for the color blue. All over her design, you can see the lines that remind you of jam Band, making you really feel that this is Maki despite the drastic difference from her regular style.”
