Q1. What was your reaction when you first heard about the Asia tour?

When I first heard about the Asia tour, the scale of it was so huge I was just completely shocked (laughs). At the same time, I also received the materials for the Asia tour theme song, "Bring the LOVE!" and as I listened to it, I gradually felt a growing sense of joy, thinking, "I get to sing with my seniors again…!" The lyrics even include words from the places we’re visiting on the Asia tour, which made me feel excited both when listening to and singing the song!

Q2. What are your thoughts on the response to the performances so far?

Seeing how happy everyone was through the live stream and receiving so many warm comments on social media made me really glad! I also felt truly blessed that our seniors performed songs from Hasunosora…! [From all of Hasunosora] "Dream Believers" is a song that holds the heartfelt desires we cherish in Hasunosora. Once again, thank you so much for carrying those feelings with you on this tour!

Q3. What is your image of the venue of the Yokohama performance?

When I think of Yokohama, I associate it with Yokohama Arena, the venue of both Hasunosora’s 3rd Live Tour finale and the Love Live! finals, so it really feels like a "decisive battleground!"! At the time I'm writing this, I still don’t know whether they’ll be able to claim victory, but I know Kaho-chan and the others are going to give their all on stage to make their dreams come true, so we cast members will also be putting our full strength into the Asia Tour’s Yokohama show!

Q4. What are your feelings toward the Yokohama performance as Hasunosora, and what are you talking about with your fellow members?

The 104th Class members have been saying, "This Asia tour will be our first time performing on the same stage as our seniors from the Love Live! Series, so we're looking forward to it!" With all 3 grades together, Hasunosora has grown to a 9-member group, bringing even more power to our performances, so we’ll do our best to showcase this to everyone attending in person or via livestream and of course to our seniors as well! As a member of the Love Live! Series, I want to come together with everyone to create a wonderful stage!

Q5. Please give a message to everyone who's looking forward to the Yokohama performance of the Asia tour!

Since October 2024, our seniors have been carrying the torch of the Asia tour, and now, at the final stop in Yokohama, Hasunosora will finally be joining in. I’m incredibly excited for it! I hope we can create the greatest and most passionate time together with everyone there. We’re bringing a massive dose of "LOVE" packed with everything that makes Hasunosora so special in this moment, so please be ready to receive it!!

FictionalxLifexReality’s Wish List for the Kagome Xover Exchange @MizukixTsukiyomi

Here’s my wish list of animes/tv shows/movies/games and characters for the Kagome Xover Exchange! I’m open to any genres out there, although, I’m not too keen on anything that’s too dark or angsty.

I don’t mind receiving NFSW material, but if you ask me to do one, I can’t really say I can do it. I’ll do my best, but I don’t really know how to write one, let alone draw one, without messing up too horribly.

My Review of Shokugeki no Soma

Soma x Nikumi: I guess you can say Nikumi got some sort of feelings for Soma. But she does brush off the feelings at times in a tsundere style. Unlike a certain other girl, at least she treats Soma a lot nicer and would even come all the way to his hometown just to help him. And she ends up helping him many other times. I know the fanbase is majority Soma x Megumi, but I feel some sort of (one-sided) connection to this particular ship. So I would like to put this at second place! Soma x Erina: Nope.

Erina x Hisako: Yeah, fine. Bitch x Bitch-lite belong together! Plus, as much as I hate Erina, she does treat Hisako very nice and does legitimately worry about her when she's depressed. So yeah, I ship this.

Soma x Takumi: Guilty pleasure. Let’s just say that this is a case of “Notice-Me-Senpai” that doesn’t end with dead corpses or anything like that. But I can dig it! AHEM: Guys, I love the concept of this story. I love the characters. And I would seriously love to one day eat some of those dishes. Buuuuuuuuut… The foodgasms! I cannot get over these foodgasms. I never knew foodgasms could get to the point of…THIS! Um…why was this needed? Yes, food can be pleasurable and exceptional. And before this anime, I thought going overboard was when I would hear characters sing about how delicious the food was. But to see people LITERALLY naked and quite possibly violated by some sort of food (including the use of honey and tentacles) is just…unsettling to this otherwise beautiful anime! I almost got my mom to watch this but I lost her with the insane foodgasms. FYI, not disgusted by it. Just felt weird is all. HOW?!: Okay, so I bitched heavily about one character doing this in the anime Silver Spoon and I'm going to do it here.

HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO LOSE THAT MUCH WEIGHT IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD?! Isami Aldini, you're in that category of defying several kinds of logic. But then again, this is anime. I shouldn't question it and go with the flow. OVA: Side stories filled with background information of minor characters (like the Aldini brothers) and fanservice galore from some of the female characters. Because we SO needed more fanservice in this anime! END OF SEASON ONE: So the students have some time off from school for the summer break. However, immediately after this break, the students must prepare for the fall elections. This is a huge competition where each student must prepare a dish for a panel of important judges. And the one who manages to defeat everyone may become part of the school’s infamous Elite Ten. All students are split into either group A or B and only 4 students from each category may advance. Each student must prepare their very best dish with the theme of curry. So Soma and Megumi decide to do some research by going to see one of Soma’s father’s old school mates, Shiomi. There, they meet Hayama, an expert in spices. Dammit, why do you keep playing these spicy looking characters Suwabe?! And as curry does contain a vast amount of certain spices to the dish, Hayama is going to be a difficult challenge for Soma. Throughout the break, Soma and Megumi spent their time off preparing for this challenge. Megumi goes back to her hometown and goes back to her old roots for inspiration. Meanwhile, Soma spent his time back at the dorms coming up with the best curry dish that’ll blow everybody away. Now for the competition itself! Many of the faceless and voiceless characters cooked exceptional dishes but got some of the lowest scores imaginable. But then we got the minor and main cast cooking and the judges were stunned. …seriously, who saw this coming? The vivid nudity scenes were surprising, but other than that, nothing new! Anyways, Group B had some excellent dishes from the Aldini brothers, Alice, and Hisako. And that’s no surprise there. Both Aldini brothers are very talented in their work and I myself would love to eat at their family restaurant. *ahem* Speaking as an Italian! Anyways, Alice is definitely just as talented as her bitch-cousin. And Hisako is shown to be more than just Erina’s toadie. These judges were getting one boom after another. And then came Megumi. She got some surprising attention while cooking as she was seen slicing up a monkfish. As monkfish is difficult to prepare, it was interesting to see how the dish was going to turn out. Much to everyone’s surprise, Megumi’s dish was a hit. And wound up in 4th place overall in Group B. As for Group A, prior to the main and minor cast, many of the scores were abysmally low due to one judge giving 0 points. A good chunk of Soma’s dormmates were given some pretty impressive scores. Nikumi got rave reviews for her meaty curry too. But the two to look out for were Alice’s servant Ryou and newly introduced Hayama. And both of them were exceptional with their dishes. Especially Hayama who just stood out! His curry soufflé earned him 94 points out of 100 and literally the highest score from any group. Can Soma’s dish excel Hayama’s? Soma’s dish was an omlette on the outside, but inside is a fragrant bomb only matched by the taste. The judges loved it. But did they love it more than Hayama’s? The answer is some of the judges did. It’s just that the combined score for Soma was 93 (one point below Hayama). But Soma at least makes it to the next level. These students did a great job today so they go back to the dorm to celebrate. SECOND PLATE: This season continues with the ultimate cook-off with the 8 remaining contenders (Soma, Hayama, Megumi, Alice, Hisako, Ryou, Takumi, and one other contestant) to possibly become one of the infamous Elite Ten. The following competitions were the same as the ones before where it was one-on-one and the best dish wins. But tensions rise with some of the characters. Hisako suffered a devastating loss against Hayama and now feels she’s unfit to be the assistant to Erina. And Takumi who was up against a copycat and lost not only the competition but one of his prized tools. But Soma ended up helping those two out later on. END OF SEASON TWO: Soma has been doing quite well for himself in the Fall Elections by managing to knock out Alice Nakiri and a copycat chef. So now he’s in the finals and will end up fighting Alice’s assistant, Ryou or master of spice, Hayama. However, things didn’t go that smoothly with the Ryou vs. Hayama fight. In fact, the judges were evenly split on both dishes the boys made. So it was decided that the finale was going to be a three-way cook-off. The final battle between these three masterful chefs will involve a dish consisting of Pacific Saury. While Soma hit a bit of a brick wall with what to do with this dish, he ends up having help and support from his friends and dorm-mates. The day of the final cook-off, Ryou and Hayama bring their A-game to the table. Both dishes wow’d the judges and even made the president go bare-chested. Can Soma out-do these dishes? While his dish was out of the ordinary, it wow’d the judges. Leaving much tension on who would be the winner since all three boys went above and beyond with their dishes. With that said, it was Hayama that won. But that’s not the end of the season! These students now must endure Stagiaire! The students must all go to different restaurants and help them out with whatever dilemma they are facing at the moment. Soma’s first task was at a restaurant with many busy-bodies coming through during the lunch-rush. Oh and he was stuck with Hisako (aka Bitch-lite). Meanwhile, Megumi is stuck with Erina (the big bitch). But Soma and Hisako were able to help this struggling restaurant by cutting down the menu a bit and making it reservations only. Go back to what the first generation did for the restaurant. Needless to say, these two passed this test (as did Megumi and Erina). Soma’s next task in this Stagiaire was to help a fancy restaurant open.

And the one opening is the school's alumni, former Elite, and overall hard-ass, Shinomiya. While there was a lot of tension the last time after their Shokugeki, all was put to the side as long as Soma does what he’s told and doesn’t fuck up. Shinomiya is opening a French restaurant in Japan and Soma is here to assist in the pre-opening days. Even though Soma did make a few mistakes for the first few days, he shapened-up and over-achieved all of his tasks, shocking Shinomiya’s crew. The final days ended with a competition. Shinomiya’s crew were competing against each other to create a dish that would end up on his menu. And Soma wants in! Can't end this season without one last competition! And this dish was going to break Soma out of this baby slump he’s been in since losing to Hayama! His dish, even though mind-blowingly delicious to those who ate it, Shinomiya said it was too amateurish. But if he improves it, it’ll be awesome. Needless to say, Soma passed his Stagiaire and all of his friends and rivals survived their tasks as well. When Soma returned to the dorm, he came back to a big box of Shokugeki requests. And Soma made it clear that he will take on anyone if they ask him for a Shokugeki showdown. And as a surprise, Soma’s dish made it to the menu at Shinomiya’s restaurant. I enjoyed this anime. And I will gladly recommend this anime to anyone who isn’t afraid of a few…several…many nudity moments. And if you have a healthy appetite watching these kids cook up the best dishes, go for this anime! What’s next for this anime? Well…no word on a third season. But we’re getting slight hope for the next two OVAs as they introduce new characters only seen before in the manga. I’m kind of hoping for any next thing to happen would introduce Erina’s father. I know how much I hate her, but I have heard some interesting things from the manga that involve him and Soma’s father. Season one and two can be found on the usual outlets like Hulu, Crunchyroll, and The Anime Network’s website. The OVAs are currently unavailable on the streaming sites. So let’s hope the best for the Sentai release!
