You should know by now that Vocaloid is actually a software that uses synthetised voices to sing. Magnet is one of the songs that got famous thanks to them. And Luka, of course, is my Vocaloid favourite character.
How I made my Megurine Luka Magnet
I have actually worn three different versions of my Magnet cosplay. She wears a black dress with white details. I just wore black dresses I already owned and added the details later. For the belt and the headband I sew some black lace to a white ribbon
The only difficult part was the headphones as the pieces were very delicate. I used a mixture of cardboard, transparente plastic and foam to make them on top of headphones I already owned.
Wearing my Megurine Luka Magnet
I actually worn this cosplay at one of my first conventions ever. Unfortunately, I never got pictures at the convention, and only later that year I took one terrible picture with my friend Lola which I will hide for now.
When John Evans asked me to go to Montrose Studios to do a photoshoot intechange I new it was the time to dust this costume and do it justice.
My friend Stephen Johnson did an amazing work and captured her very well. We even got to use an old microphone and all the amazing settings of the studio
As I liked several versions of her dress I decided to also take some pictures with a puffed skirt. Martin Jones was amazing and took some lovely pictures just in time for Valentine’s day.

Extra notes on Magnet
The only official picture of Magnet is the one in the video.. Fortunately, there is a lot of fanart going around and you can see some of the ideas that they got. Virtually anything is possible. You don’t even have to be these 2 characters, you can choose any vocaloid character and add the butterfly. The trick is complementary colours
In any case, I attached some images of Vocaloid magnets underneath. Unfortunately, this was a long time ago and I don’t have the original files with the names of the artists. Let me know if you recognise their work so I can add their names!
Magnet is one of my favourite Vocaloid songs, I think it is very sweet. And what about you? Do you have a favourite vocaloid song?
