Guests Jupiter
Jupiter is a songwriting
endeavor that blends
melodic hooks,
introspective lyrics and
trance rhythms into songs
that are both catchy and
meaningful. It began with
three members, and while
two remain at it’s core (Kelli Jo the singer, and KJ the songwriter), there have been some twenty individuals that have contributed (at different points and times) everything from musical ideas to parts in the studio performances. Jupiter's current line-up (on stage) consists of five members.
Kelli Jo—Lead singer
Nichelle—Backing vocals
Jen—Backing Vocals
KJ—Keyboards/Programming
Jesse—Keyboards/Programming
But that has been known to vary slightly depending on the needs and context of the particular gig. They have two independent releases under their belts. (“In the name of Beauty” and “2.0”)
Anti Ai-chan
Anti Ai-chan has been active in the cosplay scene since 2003, having made over seventy costumes for herself and friends. She is completely self-taught in sewing, wig styling and crafting which just shows that with enough practice, you can accomplish anything. Although Ai has only entered a handful of contests, she has received an award for each submission, including Best of Show; and has judged at multiple conventions. She enjoys costuming and hope to keep improving and help fellow cosplayers along the way.
