Hajime no Ippo band au!!

The hajippos if they were in a band lmao

(Let me cook... AND lmk which characters to add...) (all below cut because it's SO FUCKING LONG)))))???))?)

Anywho let's start wiiiith:

1. Our one and only mc, makunochi ippo

Ippo is the drummer in the kgb (kamogawa band??)

He didn't know jackshit about music at all in the start, but as we all know kamogawa has his ways of beating- ahem I meant imbuing ippo with the basics

He has a nice voice so a lot of the kgb wanted him to be lead singer, but he has awful stage fright where he can't even look up from his drum setup at the audience (he'll get used to it, in like 7 years maybe)

2. Takamura, the one million man (or whatever he calls himself)

This man has TALENT. give him a pot and pan and he'll make three songs with just those😭 ok well the songs lyrics are usually not very good but the percussions??? The instrument part is FIRE

He plays the bass guitar, and has a habit of overpowering everyone else, even lead vocals

Very very aggressive strumming, plucking whatever bassers do idk man

Also, he um does vocals too, but it's more like he's screaming his butt of in the background for pure vibes

They dont give him a mic bc he'll just steal the whole damn show

3. Aoki, our guitarist!!!!

He's a fuckup, need I explain? I will anyways

Honestly he has the best singing voice of them all, but he can only do so when he's alone or trying to impress his girl

On stage? Ohhh boy he can't... Don't even try making him...

He has stage fright, less intense than ippo but it makes him fumble yk

But when he's in the zone, he's really good, though it's always unpredictable with him

4. Finally onto our lead vocals, kimuraaa

Lead vocals. Like I said already

He can't hit high notes, but he has a kind of idgaf vibe when he's singing, and he can scream when needed

Kinda rough voice but wtv, he's the only one that can consistently sing on stage

He can play a little bit of guitar (tried to learn to rizz a girl, failed) and a bit of drum and a bit of bass, but he's a jack of all trades, master of none

Singings the only thing he can beat everyone else out on, and that's only barely

Annddd that's it for the kgb! (Manabu comes in later we don't talk about him)(Yet)

5. Now miyata, I've got a lot prepared for him heh... (Evil laugh)

From a young age his dad made him play all sorts of instruments

As soon as he could hold a fork and knife, he could play the piano

Had multiple lessons a week, and by the time he was 12 he could play the violin, piano, sing opera (or any genre really if he wanted to)

His dad used to be an idol but now he's kinda washed out yk ... They have a pretty short lifespan AND he got into an accident that made him lose his voice for a period of time blah blah blah so... But miyata really really looked up to that version of his father, which is why he joined kgb

Classical music had him bored to death, and kgb really needed people so they took him up easily

He became the lead singer quite quickly upon joining (kimurar relegated to drummer, since ippo wasn't there at the time, though miyata could play that too)

Once ippo joined, he decided it was about time he tried to follow his dad's footsteps and become a jpop idol, and soon after left (much to ippos dismay)

It didn't take long for miyata seniors old company to catch wind of this and hire him up

However, miyata being a young, impressionable teen, being under the scrutiny of long time fans of miyata sr and new fans alike, had a bit of a body image issue

Yk how it is for idols such as him, the expectation from fans for him to be beautiful, perfect and slim made it difficult to eat sometimes (see that? I'm including his canon eating problems and desire to stay a certain weight that doesn't suit him!!!! Woohoo, he's never free from the pain!)

Plus, he is compared a LOT with his old man, like oh, can he sing as well? Can he dance too? What type? All that stuff

He tends to overwork himself, take time off then get back onto the scene. This causes his popularity to be a bit iffy, and the company contemplates letting him go from time to time (they can't really, he's still their biggest cash cow. But the pity he gets and backlash to the company and their treatment is slowly getting to them)

Obviously he doesn't want to get the boot, so he gets real good at hiding it. Even when he's feeling like shit he logs onto an Instagram Livestream because he knows his fans would eat that up, and he needs them to

On said livestreams he often sings requested songs or answers questions or plays the guitar (he's a sucker for electric guitar) , and maybe even sing some songs of his own. His fans have noticed many of his personally written songs are about a certain drummer of a certain band that's been gaining popularity recently

Unfortunately he never gets to perform these songs live because his company doesn't want his fans to have this impression that he's well OBSESSED with some guy... So he just performs songs written by hired writers or wtv

In the future I want him to finally leave that toxic environment and write his own music with his dad, but not today!

6. Naniwas very own country rocker sendooo takeeeeshiiiii

Anyways he's famous worldwide and has the biggest fan base among the main characters! He has the type of fans that would fly across the seven seas to catch a stray bullet for him. The type that would dox his hater with no hesitation. The type that stands outside his hotel for weeks on end with cameras hoping for a glimpse of his sillouette through the curtains of his window... Yea it's pretty bad

His music is very nightcore sped up fast electric blah blah blah (pretend I know what I'm talking about)

He doesn't rap, but he can sing very very fast

Ok I say he's country rock but actually he's hard rock with a country (Osaka) accent

He's a screamer😭 so fucking loud... BUT his fans eat that up so hell yeyah

Type of guy who just yanks random fans whom he likes the vibe of onto stage to sing with him, he's just very out of pocket sometimes

He sooo jumps into the crowd expecting them to catch him

AND THEY NEVER FAIL TO!!!!!

He's been gaining some popularity globally, especially with the Mexican audience after his beef with a certain Alfredo Gonzalez (they had a rap battle in their respective languages but had to Google translate what each other's songs meant bc they don't speak the others mothertongue some some of the rebuttals are a tad off but it's a whole fucking vibe!;!)

7. Volgy darling, can't ever miss him

He really likes singing, not just singing actual words but also just vocalisations in general

Buuut he never gets the chance to sing🤕 whenever he tryouts for a band they already have a lead vocals so they don't want him stealing the thunder after all, since he's just a newbie

Gives up on finding a band, decides to go solo, but it's hard and he doesn't gain much popularity at first

Sendo reached out to him for a collaboration (sendos into really niche random shit, like he has not preferred music genre to listen to, if it's fire, it's fire) which helped him gain traction in Japan, and soon worldwide

He moves to America and so a lot of his songs are in English, but he always has a section of his song where he breaks out in Russian (think Gabriella katseye when Dani starts singing Spanish)

He sometimes remakes his old songs, some of which were completely in Russian, and he'll make an English cover to cater to larger audiences, sometimes even a japanese cover because he has a soft spot for the language and his friends that speak it

8. Mashiba... Yea idk.

He's goth... Gothic rock is his genre um

But he's also very into making ambiance music, creepy vibe music

Like with deep humming vocalisations and whatever instruments he can get his broke ass hands on (the type of music that if you close your eyes you'll feel like you got teleported to that one place your parents always warned to not to go, be it the forest too close to your house for your parent liking, or a bridge where one too many "accidents" have happened on, or the empty parking lot down the street with that one suspicious van parked in the same lot)

He's a one man band, hates working with people

He's popular with a certain subcategory of people who enjoy scaring themselves or wtv but he's pretty niche

Sometimes his song pops off more than he expected because it's remixed version is used as background music for edits

Some of his more popular songs feature his sister as the singing voice (she has a high range, but she's not super interested in singing or anything, she just wants to be included in something her brother enjoys, to show her support)

9. RICARDO MAR-FUCKING-TINEZ

He's one of those musicians that you, your mom and probably your grandma have all heard of AND ENJOYED

His songs are always so timeless sounding and very focused on vocals (he's a wonderful singer)

He plays the guitar as well, like multitasking, because he needs it to work perfectly with his vocals, and he trusts only himself with that

The rest of his band is made up of nargo (bass methinks) and whatever other ppl in his gym in canon

Alfredo admires him so bad, wanted to join his band and everything, but riccys band doesn't do tryouts, ric himself has to pick them out

Consistently has global hits and tours where he ALWAYS sings live. Refuses to lip sync, the thought offends him

Recently he feels like he's in a slump, no other music artists play well enough to inspire him, and he feels his songs getting repetitive (his fans give no shits, but he feels it) so he's taking it slow with the album drops and stuff, he hands only the best for his fans after all

Very smooth and deep voice, it gets the lady's swooning (he's very popular among older women)

Despite being so famous, he always keeps the price of his tickets as cheap as possible (much to his managers dismay) because it's not about the profits for him, it's the soul of the music

10. Sawamura ryuhei??? What's he doing here???

Sawa does punk I thinks. I'm not sure about this one, but I do know he raps and he loves slandering various musicians, current ippos his punching bag, but he has this ongoing beef with mashiba

He's constantly in leather and shit, all his performances have a scene where he's covered in blood and breaking things, which somehow gets onto the audience as well

He's extremely notorious all over Japan, with people specifically going to Nagoya to catch one of his shows. Not that they support his or enjoy him, but for the experience, since he always performs with 150% insanity

ALWAYS and I MEAN ALWAYS in some sort of controversy.

The most famous one being how people were convinced he was a cannibal (it wasn't even that hard to come to that conclusion, he has multiple songs about eating raw bloody meat or tearing people to pieces or both)

He somehow managed to convince society as a whole that that was some sort of acid trip fever dream, but majority just come to the conclusion that yea, he probably is one

Most recent controversy was with mashiba, they had a hate at first sight moment after sawamura badmouthed kumis singing in some interview and talked down about mashibas music (for what reason is he picking on him? Idk. He likes stirring shit)

11. David eagle!!! I think he's cool!!!

Started out with violin at first because of how prestigious the instrument is, and how difficult it seemed to master

He's a musical prodigy so he mastered it quick, and wanted to move onto something else, something that would fill him with that passion yk

Soon after meeting his wife (she's a performer in my au, sings on stage, can dance, that sort of stuff) he was smittened with not only her but also her instrument, her voice

So of course he wanted to try it too, he wanted to experience her experiences with her and he was OBSESSED

Changed course to becoming a singer, and since he was already pretty well known as a violinist, he was able to sell out tickets from the get go

Cheesy romantic ballads, always directed to his wife, heck they probably sing together, harmonizing with each other and all that

If her name isn't mentioned like 5 times, that's not his song

His songs always follow the same equation, same type of tune, very catchy, consistent, but not unique

The lyrics really brings it together though, always soooo sweet

He has the voice of a yearning lover

He likes doing charity performances where his profits are donated to various organizations AND he loves working with his fans, and always has fanmeets and whatnot

12. Itagayki id-like-a-man-abu

Him and his sister post songs they made up on YouTube OR they cover more popular songs but with their own twists when they were younger

Now she's not as interested as he is, but he wants to go on stage and perform his heart out, so he trys out the local band (yk where this is going)

He has a very sweet and kinda high singing voice (for a man) so even though he's very good at singing, he wasn't made the lead singer , the cuteness didn't quite fit their vibe

He plays guitar, especially those super fast riffs and stuff, they let him have a lot of solo guitar moments because he's genuinely really good, but he's super inconsistent so they make sure their songs sound natural with or without the guitar solo, cuz sometimes he just CAN'T...

13. Date edgeji aka unc

Y'know those old Cantonese songs your dad sometimes plays that he swears used to be hella popular but you've never heard the likes of it because it's just that old? Is this a universal experience? Anyways that but japanese

His songs are super popular with uncle's who love the nostalgic vibes of it

He's always singing about his wife bruh... He won't namedrop her bc privacy and stuff but it's pretty clear that he loves his gorgeous wife

He has performances like once in a blue moon but always fills out the stadium or wherever he's performing because he has diehard fans (uncles and aunties)

14. Wally... Muh baybeee

He likes bongos

Not much of a singer, but he LOVES playing around with percussion instruments and seems to have a natural talent for them

Currently in a Collab with volg, and they're considering making an entire album together, but wally is hard to work with because it's not really work to him, it's play, and sometimes he wants to play something else, like chasing squirrels, or dancing, so making a song is hard with him (and we ain't even talking abt a whole album... Y'all pray for volgs sanity ok)

15. Ponchai chuwatana (you KNOW I had to include him... Sorry not sorry)

Guitar. Um... Drums...

He sings well enough, but I feel like he'd dance ohhh shake those hips baby boy...

Ok getting back on track now

One man band as it so often is with these types of characters

Very mellow voice, a complaint/feedback he gets sometimes is that his instruments overpowered his vocals, but he doesn't really see a problem with it since he likes playing instruments more anyways

Likes to play to small crowds, like sitting in from of a bunch of kids with a guitar in hand, more humming that singing, an unprofessional setting but it feels like home to him

16. Tomiko, my liege

She is one of the kgbs first fans, and followed them through till they gained a reputation for themselves

Most of the band didn't really notice her, because she wasn't a looker in their books but one man did... And it was aoki

He saw her at EVERY one of their performances and for a moment his playing got more and more consistent as he started to realize he has a real fan

He asks her out after one of their public practices and she's been with them ever since!!!

If Aoki begs hard enough sometimes the band will let him add snippets of her into their track, like her humming or singing or something

She has the habit of tapping her nails on the table and Aoki sometimes takes her little rhythms as inspiration

She likes karaoke
