I just wish Ryonai would've released a bit more though.
I really hope Dada and Kalm can team up again for some kind of project in the future. As much as I enjoyed the VE revival it didn't really compare.
Calling all Velvet experts: does anyone know just when that fateful cosplay competition was that Dada won?
Are you referring to the Mothra-esque cosplay he did? If so, the exact date was March 3, 2001. The "Night of Mothra," it was called. If you're referring to the lobster claw outfit, that was October 31, I believe the same year, 2001. At the event "PARANOIA HALLOWEEN PARTY."
No, I mean the original one where he dressed as the Dada-seijin. You know, his superhero (supervillain) origin story XD I presume it must have been sometime before starting Velvet Eden.
But do we know when in 1996? I'm trying to figure out how many of his collaborators knew him as anything other than "That guy in the tights" going in

Astonishingly, the tights business still seems to be... in business. They just posted this 7 weeks ago: (source: https://www.instagram.com/p/CQqhZP8LNWw/)

So they must have been impressed with it nonetheless. Wouldn't DADA have been with Pride of mind at this point (1996)? That would be interesting to see if he was with them during the time this event took place. I believe E-TYP was in 1997 right before he joined VELVET EDEN, so I doubt he was with E-TYP then.
