Hi, all. DD Akari is back, this time with a short 3rd Dollfie Video~
Please view the video as the following sequence of pictures will make more sense.

Basically, it is a April 25th Bocolo Day tribute, based on the anime ARIA Season 2, episode 8 "On that day of the Bocolo..."
This coming Monday will be a kind of "Venice Valentine's Day." where men give a rose to the women of their lives, romantic or family. It stemmed (pun intended) from a Venetian love story.

Thanks to Gordonator for lending DSLR~

The main picture. Yup, she's standing on water, despite some kind of platform. The water's too deep as it will reach the hem of the dress. Here, Akari carries roses using her dress across the water.

Its tough to get DDs to stand by themselves, especially on grass.

Roses are floating on the water, like how the guy spilled his basketfull of roses into the water which floods Venice this time of the year.

Between the main shot and this shot, I can't decide which is my fav.

A better look.

The real setup. Lucky that from an angle, it really looked as if the colonial building was flooded.

The original manga picture. I've been itching to do this shot ever since.

A little something I did back in 2008 when I was at the height of my ARIA fever. From figures to dolls now. ^^

      Water shoots are fine. It's taking from high places I'm scared of. Really.
      And I love the main shot too. Poetic, somehow.

    AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! AWESOME!! Great job replicating Bocolo! I feel like watching Aria again after seeing this now! Nice video too. Some of the photos near the water really made me think you were in Venice ^_^

      The illusion that I'm in Venice is a fluke. Till now I still feel blissful the shot turned out alright. Except for the visible platform. :X

        BTW, I seemed to remember an Aria fan actually went to Venice... That wouldn't be you, would it? I may have remembered an extra from the DVD instead ^^;
