Adding onto the SB69 takes here, whenever I hear Ruriko as Aliane I always get so sad thinking about what could've been. I get that Ichika is meant to be soft spoken but there's no reason why she can't sound as powerful as Aliane does.

Same goes for Daisuke (Tsukasa) actually, I wish Tsukasa could sing like Mitsumi does in Susume Pirates he sounds so good there.

Friendly reminder to try and keep discussions about another post on that post!

Hey just an announcement I’m gonna just stop posting asks that are complaining about the shipping takes. They don’t have any takes themselves atp so please let this be the announcement before I update the rules:

Don’t make it all about shipping, or complaining about shipping.

Sorry but I’ve gotten way too many I’m just going to delete them starting now!

Ok so a while ago i saw a reupload of a picture of a tiktok account where somebody headcannoned Emu to use this cute kids shampoo with a silly mascot and everybody was saying it was super weird and infantilizing her and that since she has so many autistic traits it made it even worse

BUT

as an autistic person myself… i like kids shampoo! I like the silly mascots and the fun smells and how its usually tear free! And i think Emu would like that too!

thats just an example but anyways i think this fanbase is really torn about how to treat emu , and i think pointing out that she likes childish things, fun things, sparkles and bright colors isnt necessarily infantilizing her. Thats how she is! And thats ok! She is still a really smart and mature individual, but she also likes silly things and ppl shouldnt act like pointing this out is offensive!!

I don’t understand why people get so invested in tiering for events. I find it really exhausting and don’t think it actually gives you much benefit in the end. I’m not saying that tiering is bad, I just don’t get the point of it.

I’m gonna be honest Love Ka sounds perfectly fine without Meiko, the vas did a great job it’s just Meiko’s tuning imo. Adding on I wish we got more songs without the virtual singers, like I get why they’re there but I feel like it would be fun to have only group members sing! (Also I’d love more crossover songs between groups!!!)

the fandom’s refusal to engage with or even acknowledge the possibility of ena having npd even with all the theming supporting it (constantly being associated with narcissus (person and flowers), as well as her displaying almost every symptom to some degree) is a bit upsetting. you don’t have to like the headcanon yourself but people’s vitriol towards the headcanon is really gross (when many other mental disorder headcanons- wether they have implication or not are treated with much more grace)

The same Show by rock person - I also got this feeling for Kohane/Akina in the very beginning of the franchise. But this is a slightly better situation. Kohane’s (as a character) voice got progressively better over time, and it can be explained by her training hard to get better. And we actually get to a point when she sounds better! On top of that, Kohane’s vocals, even at the earlier stage when Akina did all in her power to sound like a literal hamster girl, still got the job done. Even the earlier version of Kohane sounded great with VBS’ concept and the songs they got in terms of genre and the tools that the genre uses. Kohane’s vocals being not so strong and prominent in her earlier days is not as disappointing as it is with Ichika, because there isn’t that much contrast between the staple vocal skills expected from vocalists of hip hop/ modern pop compared to rock or even metal-ish

One of the recent takes on Ichika’s voice inspired me to think of this: Ichika’s seiyuu in general is very talented and her voice can be very powerful. My favorite example is Ailane from Show by rock. Just listen to Danzai no Sorityūdo! It has rock elements but more in a romantic goth way. And her voice still sounds so powerful and gripping. I understand Ichika is just your Average shy high school girl and not a mythical lion hybrid. But imagine toning your very skilled vocal power down just to make the shy timid girl persona sound believable. Especially if it’s supposed to be the most marketable character

i feel like ichika is being limited from singing at her full capacity most of the time because of the need to stay in-character. in the sense that her va is actually REALLY good if you look at her other works and i think she works best when her vocals are strong. but because ichika is more soft-spoken, she can't really show off that full potential, and it really bugs me. i would really recommend anyone to listen to Bud Virgin Logic songs, ichika's va does the vocals and she kills it every time.

“this ship is toxic”, “that ship is canon”, guys can we please discuss other hot takes like c’mon 😭

haruka probably at one point earned enough money from her idol days that she probably considered adopting a penguin. and/or she wants to do it in the future because penguins get lonely and it’s better to adopt 2 or more, but she’s too young or busy right now

[pjsk-hot-takes]

Hi! I'm kinda scared to say my hot take cuz I don't wanna offend anyone lol. But, to start on a positive note, this blog is very cool and you're doing a good job, mod!! It's neat to see what kind of opinions people have about this game!

My actual take, though, is that the Mizuki and Mafuyu cover of Bocca Della Verita is sadly not very good, and that I much prefer the original Vflower version! The way they changed the key to better suit the V.A's ranges just doesn't sit right with me, and so much of the original instrumentation and tone has been lost in favor of sorta "glazing it over." It's such a shame, too, cuz Mizuki and Mafuyu CAN do "gritty"/more powerful songs like Usseewa :[

Idk, maybe it's just because UtsuP is my favorite living producer, but I love how KAITO was tuned in Fuel and I think he provides amazing contrast to VBS

SHUT UP ABOUT SHIPS JUST ENJOY THE SAD STORIES AND SILLY SONGS

OH MY GOD I CANT SCROLL FOR FIVE SECONDS WITHOUT SEEING SHIPS OR SHIP DISCOURSE, IT DOESNT MATTER

They didn't confirm any ship for this EXACT reason. THE GAME ISNT ABOUT ROMANCE.

We have a lot of stories and yet you all focus on something that doesn't even matter, they're allowed to be friends. Not everyone needs to be paired up. Even then, please for the love of God, not every story needs romance. The moment romance is involved, nobody gets along. Please just love the events and stories

Arguments over whether or not ships are canon or "implied" are dumb, like yeah minori crushing on haruka is canon enough to be listen as canon on shipping wiki but none of the ships are canon!! Didn't that get confirmed??

.

[pjsk-hot-takes]

Hamsterjam/anhane is not implied, and neither is akitoya. Nothing wrong with the ships btw but they are not implied at all

[pjsk-hot-takes]

not a hot take per se but surely a take, the manimani cut for pjsk is so good i almost prefer it to the og. manimani being the virtual singer song by r-906 not kami no manimani
