Sound Horizon: Violette and Hortensia

Violette and Hortensia are Hiver Laurent's twin dolls who represent night and day as well as death and life respectively. In order to find the meaning of life, Hiver searches for stories that involve life and death.

Sound Horizon's most popular album, "Roman" is a collection of such stories where each song represents one romantic story.

Aren't they beautiful? They really look like dolls, though maybe not twins. Great cosplay!

EDIT: Thank you to Koneko for letting me know who the cosplayers are! Violette is cosplayed by Saya and Hortensia is cosplayed by Tsugihagi Mishin from Japan!

Lucky Star: Hiiragi Kagami 03

Kagami is a bit egotistical, although she is also somewhat weak when it comes to common household chores such as cooking and cleaning. For some reason or other, she is constantly attempting to hide the fact that she has a deep sense of attachment to her friends. However, Kagami does enjoy mocking Konata's smaller-than-average physique, much to the latter's chagrin.

Such a cute Kagami! Although the lighting is playing tricks with the real color of her wig. Thanks again to Melanie for sending this in!

Togainu no Chi: Akira 03

Faced with no other option, Akira left for the city of Toshima as a fugitive falsely accused of murder. Upon his arrival, he was harassed by a group of thugs, only to be saved by a man dressed in black, who brutally murdered his attackers with his sword. The man threatened Akira as well, but when he showed too much pride to beg for his life, his "savior" decided to let him live.

I'm guessing that the man dressed in black is actually Shiki, but I haven't seen the anime nor played the games. In any case, this is yet another great cosplay by the late Saya! Thanks again to Ophelia for sending this in!
