Cosplay ideas that shine at Halloween live shows! Recommended costume picks (51–60)
Skull Mask Made from Construction Paper
When it comes to masks perfect for a Halloween stage, the skull mask is a classic.
This one is made with construction paper, and its key feature is that it makes it easy to project your voice while singing or doing MC on stage.
Cut out each part and connect them together.
You can also customize it by adding an eyepatch, for example.
Since it’s a handmade mask, adding band-themed paint could be a great touch.
It’s a simple yet striking cosplay—give it a try!
Little Red Riding Hood
Cosplaying Little Red Riding Hood is easy to try, so it’s recommended for those who don’t want to put in too much effort! All you need to do is throw a red hood over a one-piece or a simple dress and you’re good to go.
If you want a more polished, high-quality cosplay, try using a Little Red Riding Hood costume sold in stores.
It would be fun and cohesive if the band’s vocalist dressed as Little Red Riding Hood and the other members cosplayed as the wolf or the grandmother!
Attack on Titan
Isn’t cosplay from the anime Attack on Titan, which is based on a manga, perfect for Halloween? If you dress up as a Titan—with that slightly grotesque look—it would add a Halloween-appropriate horror vibe and really liven things up! You can even buy full-body suits that turn you into a Titan just by putting them on, making cosplay easy.
Of course, it’s also great to fully embody a character like Captain Levi! Doing a cosplay like that and performing Guren no Yumiya would probably give it an oddly powerful punch…!
Demon Slayer
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba became explosively popular in its manga, anime, and theme song, achieving an exceptionally long-running hit.
How about cosplaying as one of the characters from Demon Slayer? Each main character has their own signature color, and they’re all so unique that cosplaying them would be really rewarding! You can buy costumes from online shops, but if you pay attention to accessories and makeup, you can boost the overall quality even more! And of course, if you’re going to fully become a Demon Slayer character and perform, the song has to be LiSA’s Gurenge!

KISS
As cosplay unique to bands, imitating the outfits of overseas bands is quite popular.
If you’re looking for that kind of cosplay, we recommend the American metal band KISS.
KISS has a very distinctive look, so many people have probably seen them at least once.
It’s easy for audiences to recognize, which makes it especially recommended among overseas band cosplays.
Ojamajo Doremi
If you were born in the ’90s, you probably watched Ojamajo Doremi as a kid, and cosplay from the show is sure to hype up anyone who grew up with it in real time! Each character has a distinct image color, so if each band member cosplays a different one, the stage will be vibrant and lively for sure.
If you perform Ojamajo Carnival!! in these costumes, the crowd will absolutely go wild! It’s a must for any anisong event!
Anpanman
A costume inspired by the hugely popular anime Anpanman that everyone loved watching as a kid.
You can try anything from realistic to cute styles.
It’s great for both girls and boys.
You could even perform the Anpanman theme song!
