#/alright well i've lost my brain anyway so; this is a new song hello

[keeps-ache]

every now and then something in my brain turns on and oh hello information i didn't know i had stored! where've you been !

[amisbro]

Tokiya: Evening Curtis-San

Joshua: Well hello Mr. Ichinose...what is on the mind of the "Purple Prince" tonight?

Tokiya: Actually I was wondering if I could pick YOUR brain about what you think is going to happen in the next year when it comes to STARISH, QUARTET NIGHT and HEAVENS.

Joshua: Well you came to the right guy...I don't call myself the "UtaPri Detective" for nothing you know?

Tokiya: Oh I've heard. You seem to be really good at piecing together clues about things before its revealed so this is why I came to you.

Joshua: Very well...should we go over where we are presently and then do projections from there?

Tokiya: I Like that idea.

Joshua: Alright so...if we were to go back to say...December 24th which at this point is about 7-8 days depending on your side of the international dateline we KNOW that IS the Anniversary of the "Mysterious Message" that came about for the next "Animation Project" right?

Tokiya: Correct and we found out later that was going to the Movie right?

Joshua: Right and then some overzealous fan THOUGHT since it was announced at the stage that the Movie would be THIS YEAR and posted it on the wikipedia page which has since been removed.

Tokiya: WOW! That would have been a 7 month turnaround wouldn't it?

Joshua: Correct and the turnaround would have been SHORTER than the one for Season 4. We know that one was from January to October so that is about 10 months or thereabouts and then we had the stage announced after Episode 1 of Season 4...and I must apologize in advance but of the three parts of that BIG group song...I liked HEAVENS' the most. The harmonies seemed in a weird way more lively

Tokiya: Oh I understand. It was actually really good and even I admit theirs is really good so no worries there.

Joshua: Well that's cool. So we get through the season and then of course this year and the Stage where the movie was announced AND...like 3 months later Shining Live dropped in Japan! That caught EVERYONE off guard!

Tokiya: Yeah it did! You're waiting for the English version right?

Joshua: Correct and I NEED the TokiyaLock and Mad Scientist cards for that (boop boop) game! I think those are legit my faves right now from what I saw.

Tokiya: I'm honored.

Joshua: I'm glad...now I just wait on the translation

ANYWAYS

So now since that game came out...oh and in June before we forget we had the announcements of the update on Dolce Vita which is AWESOME and the Shining Masterpieces which I nearly went through the roof on!

Tokiya: HEAVENS is going to be in Dolce Vita now right?

Joshua: YEP! I wonder if they are going to keep with the tradition of NOT making them dateable like they did with QN in Debut OR are they going to allow them in from the jump?

Tokiya: I have to admit myself that I would like to learn more about them and also see how they work with Nanami and this OBVIOUSLY means Eiji.

Joshua: That kid is too good for his own liking. It makes you WONDER if its a front but I don't think that's like him. BTW...did you hear who his hair style is a mix of?

Tokiya: No...who?

Joshua: Apparently Otoya and Cecil!

Tokiya: O_O

Joshua: That's what I said. MOVING ON!

Tokiya: HEAVENS Sky came out in November right?

Joshua: Correct and while it didn't stay LONG on the Oricon it actually placed in the top 5 which I'm fine with. That shows me that people liked it enough for that point on the debut and I wish it could have stayed longer for sure

Tokiya: Maybe their next single will do better

Joshua: We can hope. Okay now we are in December and the last update to the TV site was Halloween. Y'all get any trick or treaters this year?

Tokiya: Actually we did and Masato doled out the Candy this time! I was going to do it but Ren asked for my help on something so I couldn't do it sadly...next year hopefully

Joshua: I was going to say you seem like you'd be a good parent but when Brother Ren calls you gotta go help him. Ren is usually good about NOT doing that but sometimes if its urgent well...yeah!

Tokiya: So now we get to 2018

Joshua: HOLY COW is this going to be a year...like the FIRST FIVE MONTHS of the year are going to be nuts NOT COUNTING the 8th Anniversary in June!

Tokiya: Right cos we got what...3 Shining Masterpieces coming out with Lost Alice...

Joshua: Three Musketeers and the Red Riding Hood one which is going to be crazy enough BUT then we get to around my birthday AGAIN in May!

Tokiya: You mean the Joker Trap Stage right?

Joshua: OOOOH YES! I am so looking forward to that you have no idea!

Tokiya: Is it true that is your favorite Shining Theater from "Gen 1"?

Joshua: One of them...the other is Masquerade Mirage

Tokiya: That's right! You got good taste if no one ever told you that

Joshua: I work with Camus...you either HAVE good taste or he sits you down and educates you for 3 weeks straight

Tokiya: Which were you?

Joshua: Oddly...somewhere in the middle so my course was only a week and a half but I've seen him grill Natsuki and HOLY CRAP MAN!

Tokiya: Can't be taught?

Joshua: Oh he can be...but if you asked me if it was going to take NEARLY AS LONG as it did...WOWZERS!

Tokiya: Gotcha. So when do you think we learn more about the movie?

Joshua: Well...we still have TWO possibilities for this year and one could be after the 6th stage DVD comes out and the other is during the Shining Countodwn. If THOSE don't happen then we go into next year playing the "is it today?" game

Tokiya: Let's assume there is going to be news but its not till next year...when?

Joshua: I can almost say without falter its NOT going to be in the first three months because of those CDs coming out which we will be EAGERLY anticipating (and I need to get my pre-orders in on)

Tokiya: Could it be April/May

Joshua: ...Possible but I would still say "no" and the reason is cos of the Anticipation for those...then again with the way Broc does HEAVENS with their birthdays it can be iffy but EYYYY!

Tokiya: I think I know what you mean and its all good. So the best chance would BE...

Joshua: 8th Anniversary in June. I think we will find out about the plot for the movie sometime around there and I think what will ALSO happen is the Movie details MIGHT be announced but the date won't be till the FOLLOWING year!

Tokiya: K-Pro right?

Joshua: Right! IF it is I dunno how it will do cos K Pro is really popular I think so we will have to wait and see. I think at this point the latest is going to be 2019! IF it is put out in 2018 its going to be like the Holiday season but for some reason I can't picture it

Tokiya: I gotcha. If there are anymore HEAVENS projects do you think we get them next year?

Joshua: Its Possible but when I can't say...I can't say because of the fact that I dunno how Broc sees them and the fact that Season 4 got pulled from Crunchyroll BUT we have to wait and see

Tokiya: Wait...season 4 isn't on Crunchyroll?

Joshua: NOPE! I dunno what happened but for some reason the season (which is part of the canon) ISN'T on there anymore

Tokiya: Okay well now I have to go see if I can solve this case...talk to you later Joshua

Joshua: Talk to you later Tokiya
