Who Is Super Sonico?

Sonico is a pink-haired college student, gravure model, and lead singer of the fictional band First Astronomical Velocity. She’s known for her soft-spoken personality, cheerful spirit, and a style that’s equal parts kawaii and rock ‘n roll.

She’s also a cosplay favorite because of her iconic silver headphones, endless wardrobe options, and ultra-cute visuals that lend themselves well to both classic and creative interpretations. Whether you’re going full idol glam or keeping it casual, there’s a Sonico style for every cosplayer.

Choose Your Look: Sonico’s Most Popular Outfits

One of the best things about cosplaying Sonico? You’ve got options. She’s known for switching up her outfits constantly, which means you can tailor your cosplay to fit your comfort level, budget, or event.

💙 Casual Everyday Sonico

This version is ideal for beginner cosplayers or low-key events:

• White zip-up hoodie with faux fur trim

• Cartoon-print t-shirt (bonus points for her signature cat logo!)

• Short denim skirt or cutoff shorts

• Thigh-high socks and cozy boots

🎤 Idol/Stage Sonico

Want something flashier? Go full anime idol with:

• A sparkling bikini-style top or corset

• Mini skirt with ruffles or metallic sheen

• A guitar prop slung across your back

🌸 Pin-Up or Swimsuit Sonico

Remember: you don’t have to match every detail exactly—creative versions and mashups are always welcome in the cosplay community!

Pink Perfection: Wig & Hair Tips

Sonico’s hair is arguably her most recognizable feature.

• Color: Light, bubblegum pink or pastel rose

• Style: Long, smooth layers with soft curls at the ends

• Bangs: Either blunt fringe or wispy side bangs

Use a high-quality heat-resistant wig so you can gently curl the ends and keep it looking polished throughout the day. A wig detangler spray is your best friend when prepping for cons or shoots.

Headphones Are Non-Negotiable 🎧

Super Sonico is never seen without her silver over-ear headphones—they’re her signature accessory and essential to any cosplay.

Look for:

• Metallic silver headphones with thick ear pads

• Blue LED or circular accents

• Optional microphone boom (some versions include this)

Can’t find the perfect set? DIY your own using foam, metallic paint, and a little craft glue. They’ll elevate your entire look instantly.

Eye Color: Colored Contacts for an Anime Idol Look

Sonico’s soft, warm eyes change slightly depending on the art style, but they’re typically either honey brown or pink-toned.

Recommended EyeCandys Lenses:

• Rosy Pink Circle Lenses: Embrace the full kawaii aesthetic with lenses that make your eyes look larger and brighter.

• Soft Hazel or Honey Brown Lenses: For a natural but animated touch.

• Violet or Pale Red: For creative interpretations and alt versions.

Circle lenses work beautifully for anime cosplay since they give your eyes a wide, innocent effect—perfect for characters like Sonico.

And if you normally wear glasses, try EyeCandys clear lenses in your prescription so you can keep your look authentic and frame-free.

Makeup: Glowy and Girlish

Sonico’s makeup is light, fresh, and youthful. Here’s what to aim for:

• Base: Dewy foundation with light blush across cheeks and nose

• Eyes: Shimmering pink or champagne eyeshadow, soft eyeliner, and long curled lashes

• Brows: Light and natural, matching your wig color

• Lips: Glossy pink or peachy tint

• Extras: Try a small heart or star sticker under the eye for a J-pop flair

Idol-Worthy Nails: EyeCandys Gel Nail Stickers

Don’t forget your hands—especially if you’re posing with props or flashing peace signs.

Nail Sticker Style Ideas:

• Pastel pink, lavender, or baby blue base

• Glitter gradients or ombré shimmer

• Designs featuring music notes, hearts, or cat faces

• Medium-length almond or rounded tips

EyeCandys' semi-cured gel nail stickers cure quickly under a UV lamp and last through long convention days. They’re easy to apply, look salon-fresh, and are the perfect finishing touch for a character as stylish as Sonico.

• 🎸 Electric guitar (Sonico’s go-to prop)

• 🎤 Microphone or headset mic

• 🧸 Plushies or pillows for photos

• 🎀 Ribbons, pins, or cat ear headbands

You can also set up themed backdrops or bring props for playful, bedroom-style photo shoots if you’re cosplaying Sonico’s gravure model persona.

Posing & Performance Tips

Sonico is gentle, slightly shy, and always sweet. Channel her personality with:

• Peace signs or heart hands
