Well, you know, I had to do it, but I behaved myself and bought the tee shirt instead of the hoodie, which was like $30 more. 😏

As things continue to move along, I wanted to touch base on the vision I have for the coming months; not only for the zine but also for the community I would love to build around it. This post will cover information on potential packages and items we'd like to include with them, activities we hope to run here on Tumblr, and info on the Discord server.

Free Digital Pre-Tour Package - This is something I'd like to do that lets everyone participate. Those who want to sign up will get a digital pre-tour package that includes things like a ticket, a flyer, and maybe a meet and greet pass. 🤔

Digital Tour Package - The above items plus a digital version of the zine/art prints/etc.

Physical Tour Package - Digital and physical versions of above items plus merch (pins, stickers, keychains, etc).

Physical VIP Tour Package - All of the above plus VIP backstage pass and VIP specific merch, which is currently TBD.

Mini Band Packs - Small merch packs specific to each band that can be added to any physical package. These would include things like replicas of Eri's lucky keychain, guitar picks, or special prints.

As previously mentioned, we have a Discord server set up, which will open to the public in the not-too-distant future. There, we will have some activities and events that won't be available on social media. This is still in development, but we're hoping it'll be a lot of fun. 💙

That's about all for the moment. Take care and see you soon!

Finally! The last of our top six!

Second Take - Another surprising addition to the festival is Indie rock band Second Take. This group has been around for nearly seven years, and they've exhibited an immense amount of perseverance and talent, recording and producing all of their own material. This dedication gained them enough attention to fund a few small tours around Japan and Europe. Last summer, Sound Exchange Records managed to secure a contract with them.

Fans debate whether members Overhaul, Lady Nagant, Chronos, and Geten have sold out by joining with the recording giant, but sources indication that a number of addendums were added to the agreement before the band agreed to sign. From what we've seen so far, it appears Second Chance has retained the majority - if not the entirety - of the creative control over their projects.

Experts in the music business predict this opportunity will bring a whole new level of success for the band and their unique sound.

Here is a look at two more of our six headliners!

Explosion Murder God (EMG) - EMG is the biggest punk rock act on the global music scene these days. They got their start around the end of their senior year, but their lineup was slightly different in those early days. The original lead singer for the band was Yo Shindo, a graduate of Ketsubutsu Academy, but following some contention within the group, Katsuki Bakugou took center stage as the lead vocalist and turned his position as drummer over to Eijiro Kirishima, a close friend who previously played for a few other local bands around the city.

The group rebranded themselves as Explosion Murder God and created an entire repetoire of new songs that leaned more heavily into the punk genre than their previous music. The change caused people to sit up and take notice, including Golden Imperial's top talent manager, Tenya Iida, who also oversees idol group Ringo Ame.

EMG will be headlining on one of the three main stages at the festival.

Mirko - Mirko is the only solo artist who was invited to perform in the Star Struck music festival, and she is also the newest act in the lineup, having found her success only six months after she released her first song. Her inclusion came as a surprise when the announcement was first made, but there isn't anyone questioning her place.

The story of Mirko's rise to the top reads like something out of a movie. She was discovered by a Golden Imperial talent scout in a karaoke bar while celebrating her birthday with friends. Her powerful vocal style garnered her a contract with the famous label, but rumors claim it took a lot of convincing to actually get her signature on that life-changing document.

Along with her music, fans love that the rock star makes herself highly accessible to them. They say she never turns down an autograph request and shares the selfies taken with her fans on her own social media accounts.

Star Struck is Mirko's first tour, and her admirers from outside of Japan are desperate to see their favorite idol perform live.

League of Villains Halloween Headcannons

Here's what I think each member of the league of villains does for Halloween

Toga

Toga wants to go trick or treating. Or to the candy aisle. Or both! On the way, she ends up stealing buying all the cute halloween pushies and cozy socks she can find.

Dabi

Dabi follows along with Toga, not claiming to enjoy it but also not complaining as much as usual. He likes that everyone in costumes means he gets less looks with his scars. Admittedly, he also likes making up for a lost chunk of childhood eating halloween candy with Toga.

Twice

Twice joined Dabi and Toga, claiming both to keep an eye on them and steal their candy. Instead, he gets distracted by a parking lot corn maze and at least two of his doubles make it out. The league doesn't see him for three days after this.

Shigaraki

Horror movie marathon? Any time of year, but the good ones are more easily accessible around Halloween and he's taking full advantage of that.

Spinner

Spinner joins Tomura for his movie marathon, enjoying the more mild ones. When it gets too scary, he's out - having his own movie day with Hocus Pokus and Beetlejuice instead.

Compress

Arguably the most sociable of the group (that's not saying much,) Compress has at least one acquaintance's parties to stop at. He's by far the best dressed at the party, even if it is what he wears every day.

Kurogiri

Kurogiri is handing out candy to trick or treaters. King sized candy bars and packs of Pokémon cards, they only get a few (brave) kids but he looks forward to it every year.

Here is a glimpse at three of our starring acts on the tour. Just a little insight to who's who and some juicy bits about the band members!

The Vigilantes - Thirty years ago, Lady Midnight, Shota Aizawa, Present Mic (aka Hizashi Yamada), and Oboro Shirakumo founded The Vigilantes. The four teens were still in their first year at UA when the idea struck, and over the next ten years, they built their reputation and accrued a vast, loyal fan base that exploded when their hit single "At Any Cost" gained popularity outside of Japan.

Life at the top wasn't always perfect, though. At the pinnacle of their fame, Oboro was involved in a near fatal car accident, which left him amnesiatic for nearly year. Fortunately, the support of family and friends miraculously unlocked his lost memories and the charismatic drummer was eventually back to his old self.

While The Vigilantes' fame has cooled in recent years, the announcement of the Star Struck music festival fanned the embers and gained the rock stars a whole new generation of new supporters who can't wait to witness the legends perform.

Cremation - The enigmatic vocalist known only as Dabi, along with his best friend and lead guitarist Keigo Takami, launched Cremation when they were in their late teens. With their dark, rebellious sound, they quickly gained a small, dedicated following in the local music scene. They added band mates Jin Bubaigawara, Atsuhiro Sako, and Tomura Shigaraki respectively over the next two years and diversified their sound in a way that kept the attention of old fans while gaining them thousands of new supporters.

The lineup changed slightly a year ago when Atsuhiro left the group to pursue his blossoming acting career. Wild child Himiko Toga took up the vacant bassist position and .proved herself to be the perfect addition to the band, well-known for their "michievous" behavior. All parties stated that they parted on good terms and remain friends.

りんご飴 - The newest act on the tour is the mega-popular, all-girl rock idol group Ringo Ame, featuring Eri, Ochako, Mina, Tsuyu, and Nejire, Their popularity skyrocketed around a year and a half ago when their third single "Midnight Karnival" went viral on TikTok. Their unique candy-goth style rock has made them icons in the world of both music and fashion.

Ringo Ame has close ties to The Vigilantes and EMG, and recent rumors claim that Ochako Uraraka has been seen out and about with Cremation's bassist Himiko Toga. Nothing has been confirmed about their relationship, but there are many fans who would love to see the two pair up.

Sources tell us that the ladies will be performing a few brand new songs during the tour, allowing festival goers the privilege of hearing them before their official release following the Star Struck event.

Okay okay okay! So! I've mentioned before that my BFF and I did a Kickstarter back in April. Yesterday, we got all the rewards packaged, and they were shipped today. I'm so excited by the way everything turned out and wanted to share. The pictures don't do then justice. 💙💙

[kyiratodoroki]

So! Monday was my birthday, and my BFF spoiled me like crazy. We went out for hibachi (scallops OMG) and had super chocolate-y cake. I also got lots of presents, some of which I want to share. She made me some of the cutest things! Prints of Dabi art she's made me amd some super-adorable stickers. The one round sticker is mine and Dabi's ship symbol, which I created... StarFire. 💙💙

Then! Dabi got me the most gorgeous sapphire tennis bracelet! Sapphires are symbolic of loyalty. 💙💙💙💙

[kyiratodoroki]

Dabi mail! So much to catch up on! I have some stuff from last week, which I'll show in this post, and then I have some amazing things to show that my BFF gave me for my birthday. Then I'll share what I'm up to today. 💙💙 For now!

We have three keychains; another spectacular example of that repetitive art stealing my cash. And then again, in the acrylic coaster and block. Finally, two stickers. I especially love that second one!
