A stone-engraver impresses with Love Live gravestones and wine bottles 【Photos】

Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die. And why don’t we do it all with Love Live, while we’re at it?

Being a tombstone-engraver and gravesite-builder may not be your typical, longed-after profession, but Japanese Twitterer @t_hide3 takes it in stride—and he uses his business-honed talent to create unique tombstones that any Love Live fan would, um… die for.

▼”My work is done! Before the display gravestones got thrown out, I decided to try making an *ita-*stone design on one. I think I’ll keep this one on display for a while♪”

@t_hide3 makes a reference to itasha, those glaring eyesores (to some) that trundle the streets of Japan painted in all of their anime glory. If you have a Love Live itasha in life, why not have a Love Live ita-stone in death?

You may recall mention of  @t_hide3’s work previously but, while awesome, intricately-carved gravestones don’t really have a place in everyday life, and really can’t be enjoyed by the receiver of the product until they’re six feet under… Or cremated, as is the case in Japan. So, @t_hide3 has taken his engraving skills to something a little more widely available: glass bottles.

His handiwork has earned him a lot of attention and followers on Twitter. Here is what some netizens have to say…

Of the gravestone:

“I want to buy this! I refuse to be buried in anything other than a Love Live cemetery.”

“This is a work of miracles! And it’s even cooler that you used your own talents to make it!”

“Are you a god? This is amazing!”

Of the bottles:

“This is a masterpiece! Your talent is amazing (o_o)”

“This is amazing! Good work!”

“You’re a genius.”

“You could totally sell these!”

We’re looking forward to see what other creations @t_hide3 comes out with next on his Twitter!
