All for YOU!!! THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS Recollections MEMORIAL BOOK COVER ART

9 BOOKS A4, OVER 7000 IMAGES, 11 YEARS

[lucario765g]

So, I wasn't sure how I was going to start this post. But for any AssClass fan that is reading this: you might have seen this image before, right?

This image was made back in 2015, during the year of the airing of the anime's first season. It was made for the anime songs 3-days concert Animelo Summer Live 2015 -The Gate-, also abbreviated as Anisama 2015, that was held at the Saitama Super Arena (on August 28th to 30th). It's a very big concert that involves solo artists, group artists, and voice actors singing anime songs.

Speaking of voice actors: the JPN VAs of the 6 Class 3-E students on this image were one of the many performers at Anisama 2015 (can be found on the official Anisama website). They performed on Day 2 of the concert. Forming a special version of 3-nen E-gumi Utatan (Class 3-E Song Unit) known as 3-nen E-gumi Samatan (Class 3-E Summer Unit). Consisting of: • Nagisa Shiota - VA: Mai Fuchigami • Kaede Kayano - VA: Aya Suzaki • Karma Akabane - VA: Nobuhiko Okamoto • Yuma Isogai - VA: Ryota Osaka • Hinata Okano - VA: Minami Tanaka • Tomohito Sugino - VA: Yoshitaka Yamaya

The song this unit sung live was the anime's first opening song: Seishun Satsubatsuron There were also some messages by Koro-sensei (VA: Jun Fukuyama) pre- and post-performance.

Also, Aya Suzaki also performed as Minami Nitta from THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls on the exact same day as well, with a few other VAs from same iM@S branch. And Minami Tanaka also performed as Minami Katayama from Wake Up, Girls! with the rest of the VAs from the same franchise on Day 3 of the concert.

Additionally, there were a few other JPN VAs of the AssClass cast that also performed at Anisama 2015. Just either as themselves (solo singer artists or in a singer artist group) or as one of their character roles from another franchise they voice in.

Manami Numakura (Rio Nakamura's VA) as Hibiki Ganaha from THE iDOLM@STER - P.S. she's one of the few seiyuu who kickstarted the live concert on Day 1 (alongside her with some of the 765PRO ALLSTARS seiyuu who are also from THE iDOLM@STER as well as the idol unit Muse's seiyuu from Love Live!; via collaboration medley

Mamoru Miyano (Gakushuu Asano's VA)

All the VAs/seiyuu mentioned in this post have (or have not) returned to perform at Anisama in later years. Again, either as solo artists or in one of their other character franchise role(s).

I tried my best explaining everything on this post. But I guess this can be seen as some sort of piece of trivia? At least, that's what I think...

Image with all the six JPN VAs on the official AssClass TV Anime Twitter account

A list with the full setlist (Day 1-3) can be found on here

Kinda a surprise for me to see that you can find the full live performance (of this group) on bilibili... (Link)

[taperwolf]

In the runup to the Ijigen Fes — more fully, "Another Dimension Festival IDOLM@STER★♥Love Live! Song Battle," the big joint concert between four generations of Love Live and three generations of Idolmaster scheduled for the Tokyo Dome on December 9 and 10 — the Love Live YouTube channel posted a video introducing the groups. It's very nice, with one of each franchise's more iconic songs, and showing the images that have been made of a few members of each group in each other's iconic locations (the most obvious example is the one of Cinderella Girls' Rin, Arisu, and Anastasia on the beach in Aqours' home town of Uchiura).

Among the excited and enthusiastic comments — mostly in Japanese, of course — was one complaint in English:

Huh???!?

Old Art: Inktober 2022, part 1

I have participated in Inktober since 2019, on Twitter up until now. To breathe some life into my blog here, I'll post my work from past years over the next few days, along with my thoughts and explanations where relevant, using the more long-form format of tumblr to its advantage. Please mind this small content warning before you continue reading: Some of what I drew for this quite odd and creepy, and in at least one case (day 14), arguably gory. Keep this in mind as you read and view the art.

Day 1: Gargoyle This one was fun. I did a poor job of making it actually look like it was perched on the wall and the wall itself was a pain, ultimately resulting in something kind of halfassed and iffy looking, but still, I had fun with it, and I think the gaping red maw looks pretty decent, all things considered. I used a grey ink--if I recall, it was Noodler's Lexington Gray--for this one, though only sparingly.

Day 2: Scurry Some of the anatomy is screwy here, in particular the catgirl's hands are all kinds of gnarly in ways I didn't intend. Ink is unforgiving. These aren't really meant to be any characters in particular, but I was probably influenced a little by Nazrin from Touhou Project and undeniably heavily inspired by Maekawa Miku from The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls. You might immediately notice two things about this image: firstly that it is clearly more true to the color of the paper and secondly that the left edge curves away, gets blurry, and has a bit of a shadow. Day 1's drawing was simply captured by my phone camera, but I used my scanner for this one. That took time to set up (I have a bad habit of putting things on top of the machine and I have to reposition the whole thing because the USB-B cable I have is too short), so I didn't always use it. There's another scanner now, though, which I can use much more easily.

Day 3: Bat GAHHH why did I go right back to the phone camera? Oh well. The anatomy here is really poor especially around the legs, but I tried to be a little more dynamic with the pose than I usually would be. Evidently, I didn't properly plan this from the beginning, since the torso is on a somewhat different perspective plane than it should be. Oh well, not everything works out as you'd want it.

Day 4: Scallop I love drawing spooky little creatures. Here, we see a sea scallop, but with spindly arms and legs. This is only slightly more monstrous than what live sea scallops actually look like. Did you know they have like 200 eyes, all lined up in a row along the edge of the "mouth"? Crazy. There's also a moray eel in entirely imaginary colors here. It seems about as freaked out by the scallop creature as is appropriate.

Day 5: Flame Dragon girl! I should really put this under the scanner someday. Overall I mostly like how this turned out, though I clearly had no clue what to do with the breasts. Probably should have grabbed some references.

Day 6: Bouquet This time, the gnarly fingers were absolutely intentional. Here we see an elder vampire or something, perhaps some other kind of aged fantasy man, enjoying several flowers. I think they were based upon a couple specific real flowers, but I can't quite recall exactly what they were.

Day 7: Trip This is one I'm really glad I went through the trouble to use the scanner for. There are certainly things that could have been improved, but overall, I'm still quite proud of this one. Two girls on a road trip in an Autobianchi Bianchina, stopped on the side of the road for... I dunno, looking at the scenery, I guess. I don't know if that car was ever sold in this color, but it's what color I'd want one in.

Day 8: Match Matching outfit elves. The anatomy and basic geometry of this one was completely unsalvageable by the time I realized what was going on. Alas, at least it was properly scanned.

Day 9: Nest Sometimes you go into a drawing with an image in your head that's too complex to hold for long and when you zoom in in your mind to look at the details, you lose it. Ultimately, though, when I look at it now, that worked out better than if I had faithfully rendered every piece of trash in the garbage heap that this giant, mechanical bird-thing has built. Seriously, this looks way better than I remember it looking. I also used the grey ink here again, I think to much better effect than with the gargoyle.

Day 10: Crabby Crabby child, crab hat, "Feelin' Crabulous!" shirts. Not much more to say other than wow that mom character looks weird. I think I did a pretty decent job of depicting a child in the middle of a tantrum over god-knows-what here.

Day 11: Eagle A man and his concerningly large eagle. If I recall, this was meant to depict a Haast's eagle, an extinct species from what is now New Zealand. Or at the very least it was mostly inspired by that. In other words, it's completely nonsensical for a man in a heavy coat, fur hat, and snow goggles to have one as his companion, but somehow it just felt right. I used a bunch of different colors of brown micron and even fountain pen ink for this, and I think the effect turned out well.

Day 12: Forget Creepy creatures what take your brain out and make you forget things. The head being comically outsized compared to the rest of the body was actually intentional here--I felt the strange proportions would further bring focus to the point of the action and also just make the whole scene feel even weirder.

Day 13: Kind More weirdo creatures. I thought it'd be fun to depict kindness between alien things rather than more easily relatable humans or animals. This color palette also happens to be enjoyable to me. This is another one featuring some fountain pen inks, but I can't recall what they were.

Day 14: Empty Yeah, this one is pretty gross and freaky. Sorry about that. But hey, that was the idea. Mission accomplished, right? If I remember correctly, this one included Diamine Oxblood ink, to get that fleshy cavern look.

Day 15: Armadillo Yep, it's Tarkus. As in, the album by Emerson, Lake & Palmer. I guess you could consider this a gijinka? The nameplate thing bearing the day number and prompt is based on the colors of the ground in the album art.

..And that's it for now. I'll do days 16-31 tomorrow or the next day, depending on how much I can think of to write about those. If you made it this far, thanks for reading and for looking at my art.

Welcome!

Since I’m rebooting this blog entirely, it’s only logical that the first post to make on the cleaned slate is an introduction! I did not at all think about this in advance I am very much doing this on the spot, so this might be bad, but who cares honestly? I don’t! :D

Firstly, about me: I’m known on the net mainly as MichelleKyura, but you can just call me Michelle if you’d prefer. I will not reveal my age but I am currently still a minor so please be aware of that when interacting with me. I go by she/her. I enjoy roleplaying, but my two most notable hobbies are gaming and drawing! That should cover that. Next, things that I’m interested in! Be aware the stuff I post will rotate fairly often because my hyperfixations change a lot and I also don’t post that consistently (I'm working on that lmao) So if I go from posting one thing to something else and then do it again later, that’s kinda why. Basically, if you’re just following me for one thing, uh.... welp don’t expect that to be the only thing you’re getting from me lmao it’s not. I’m going to try and keep things as varied as I can and post whenever I can (used to not post much bc of being nervous and whatnot but I am slowly learning to stop giving a shit and do whatever I want) but you’re definitely gonna see mostly whatever I'm fixated on at the time still.

My current hyperfixation(s)... are on The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls/Deresute, Sushi Pack, and Pokemon Conquest! You can expect to primarily see posts about one or several of these things!  

Other series I am interested in include: My Little Pony, Pokemon, Splatoon/Coroika, Stylve Savvy are all special interests; I also like Uma Musume, Total Drama, Mario, Kirby, The Binding Of Isaac, Slime Rancher, Steven Universe, Little Witch Academia, Yo-Kai Watch, WarioWare, Cuphead, and others. I may not post much about them but you are free to talk to me about them anytime if you’d like! 

As for tagging, everything I reblog will use a simple #reblog, text posts will contain #kyura speaks, my art will contain #kyuras art, and all other image posts will have #kyuras content. additionally now we will also has a #kyura writes tag for when I share my writing! Then add all the appropriate tags for any characters or fandoms and general tag ramblings, and bam! A post. If you want to sort through my posts by type, that’s how ya gotta do it. I’ll also be updating this occasionally just to make sure everything's up to date so if i decide i feel like being stupid and posting because i have brainrot and need to scream somewhere at least you can maybe be ready for it lmao

If you want more information about me and links to my other socials, my favorite characters, etc, check out my carrd. https://michellekyura.carrd.co/

Notes: There may shipping content on this blog time to time so if shipping bothers you I might not recommend following me, and again I swap fixations often so I won’t always be posting the same thing. (I’ll update this post whenever they shift though)

One last note, this is technically not my main. When I first came to Tumblr it was for different purposes and this account was made later on. Reblogs and such will be able to come from this account, but likes, follows, etc won’t. My main blog should just be empty and redirect here now though since this, functionally, has become my main.

So I’m just kinda here to post art, memes, be dumb, find others who might like the same things as me, and have a good time. Hope you have one too.
