June 4th: Touga’s birth
September 25th: Saionji’s birth
1982

1990
May
Touga and Saionji met Utena by finding her in a coffin. Though they weren’t able to convince her to leave the casket on that rainy night. The next day, those two noticed a certain look in the girl’s eyes. Seeing something has changed in Utena that neither of them couldn’t do for her.
Utena’s parent’s died in an accident, leaving her orphaned. On that rainy night, she lost the will to live. Until she subconsciously met Akio/Dios and Anthy. From that fateful encounter, Utena found her strength to live. The next day, Utena attends the funeral with her legal guardian. Her aunt named Yurika, who chose to take her in.
Aunt Yurika stated, “Utena’s parents died when she was six. I was still young myself… and I couldn’t explain it to her.” Meaning that Yurika must have been 21 years old at the time. However, an age requirement on becoming a legal guardian to someone’s child is 18 and above.

She can hear it from Shiori’s cries, asking why he would that for Juri.
1997
December 29th: Utena turns 14 years old.

Ship Ask! I'm so excited because I always love your thoughts on stuff like this! Okay, I'mma ask for the main three pairings in my not-yet-posted YYH WIP. Which I fondly call the Crackship Fic. You can pick one, just two, or all three. Ready? Yusuke/Koto, Kuwabara/Juri, & Hokushin/Ruka?
Ok, after a VERY long and horrible covid+ impromptu trip to the mental hospital i'm back. So, i'm going to pick all 3.
Yusuke+Koto= They would probably have gotten in contact a few years after Yusuke came back to earth. Over something really random as fuck. Koto would probably have invited Yusuke out for a drink in the demon world after competing in the Makai demon king competition. We all know homegirl would have been a judge since she loves all that blood. After a breakup with his ex a while back he'd agree. Koto wanted exclusive bloody details, maybe on which ear he pulled off the hardest or how Yomi responded to losing a tooth the first time in combat. Yusuke would look at her with a mix of disgust and annoyance. Saying something along the lines of "crazy evil bitch" she wouldn't take offense to that. Hell she probably liked it since it meant she was doing her job right. Yusuke not only answered her question, but told her that Hiei's dragon of the darkness flame tasted faintly of mint. He found that out after surviving the damn blow. Koto's eyes grew brighter, unable to contain her excitement. Koto asked for an exclusive interview to ask him what other fighter’s attacks/blood tasted like. Yusuke agreed only after she’d agreed to a date. Koto agreed somewhat reluctantly because Yusuke was a pervert who didn’t even try to hide the fact he was staring at her boobs. It took about 2 more years and promises of other rather specific gory details from the bloody demon election, and she became his girlfriend. Yusuke goes between the borders of human and demon worlds often to see her, but they also have some nice technology to contact each other in different worlds. Courtesy of Kurama. Koto spends most of her days being in the ring with bloody warriors. However she also makes some trips to see Yusuke, although a bit illegal she still manages to enter the human world. Their first date in the human world was for Yusuke’s 21st birthday and they were watching a horror film. She got them kicked out because she kept commenting on how real blood doesn’t flow like that , they should have ripped off his ankle first and THAN beat him while he was crawling away, etc etc. Their most common date night would be Yusuke mooching her couch, eating up all her food, while she roasted the latest horror film she has. After Yusuke eventually left the human world since the slow/no aging thing became a problem they moved in together and started the first demon world movie industry. Koto guarantees real blood in all the movies.
Juri x Kuwabara. In this headcannonery creation. After Yusuke and Koto started dating she'd invited her ex-judge friend Juri to the demon world election. Kazuma happened to watch this year since it was happening while he was on break. He saw Juri got even cuter than she was last time they met. She fainted while Hiei released a modified and especially cruel version of the dragon of the darkness flame. This version can actually eat and grow from the fear in the area. Juri happened to be completely terrified and fainted from it eating her fear. Kazuma caught her and led her away from the brutal stadium. She thanked him with a kiss and thats how they ended up hitting it off.A scaredy cat and a gentle ladies man, a match made in heaven-er hell? Sprit world?
Your favorite off-brand Mr.clean and Ruka met by accident. They don't have too much in common on the surface but when they're together you can see they have similarities. Ruka's hot as hell and she's choosy with her lovers. Houkashin's type is mysterious and sexy. After being sorta fired sorta retired or sorta on a long vacation he had too much time on his hands. Ruka was traveling finding a next gig, not caring who or where. She met Houkashin in a science lab working for some geezer who was trying to farm humans. Houkashin was thinking about purchasing some, but Ruka kindly told him to save his money. The human were in a weird half alive half dead state and continually had their limbs torn off and regrown. She didn't know where they found such a human. The scientist claim they found such a human in a cave somewhere trapped in a plant. It sounded fishy to her, so it probably wasn't a full human. She offered to take him to where she thought was bit better. The humans where already dead, but it was better than nothing. Knowing Yusuke probably made this place to have "ethical" human meat given to human eating demons, she had a feeling he'd like it. He paid her to guide him there. Along the trip, they hit it off over a plate of deep fried kidneys and barbecue ribs.

Ok so. Since Hypnosis Mic has a Visual Kei lover in its cast now (I’m talking about Jyushi, of course), I’ve decided to make a post in this blog to introduce some Visual Kei bands to the ones who aren’t familiar with the style. I’m not a pro myself but I love J-rock/VK since I was like 12 so I know my share of bands... Here are some I hc that Jyushi would love too!
Ah, before you ask "Cain, why didn't you add (insert band here) in the post?" the answer is most likely:
I don't know it.
I know it but have never stopped to actually listen to it so I don't feel comfortable recommending it. X JAPAN
I don't listen to it. the GazettE
I chose not to bc I couldn't post 77349072409273 bands so I selected just a few since this post is just an introduction to the style after all.
I forgot.
This post is gonna be kinda long and have some pictures and links to videos and songs and a small introduction about the bands, so I’m gonna put it under a Read More!
Kagrra,
Tumblr media
Kagrra, (神樂 Kagura) was a band formed in 1998 by Isshi (vocals, flute), Akiya (guitar), Shin (guitar, koto), Nao (bass) and Izumi (drums). Their major debut was in 2004 with the single Urei. Their lyrics were in the style of Heian era poetry, their costumes frequently incorporated traditional Japanese clothing styles, and traditional Japanese instruments and drum rhythms were used in some of their songs. On November 10, 2010, it was announced that Kagrra, would be disbanding. As a final request, the members asked that fans refer to it as a "demise" rather than a disbandment. The band released one last CD and held a final tour. The CD, entitled Hyakki Kenran, was released on February 2, 2011. Their final tour began on February 13, 2011 and ended on March 3, 2011. On July 25, 2011, it was announced that vocalist Isshi died in his home on July 18, 2011. He was 32 years old. (Source: Wikipedia)

Plastic Tree
Tumblr media
Plastic Tree, also known as PuraTuri (プラトゥリ) or Pura (プラ) is a Japanese alternative rock band formed in 1993 by Ryutaro Arimura (vocals, backup guitar), Akira Nakayama (guitar), Tadashi Hasegawa (bass) and Shin* (drums). Early in their career, their music had heavy visual kei influences. As time went on, their sound seemed to change and evolve with every album. Plastic Tree combine alternative rock with art rock, electronic, and heavy metal. Their sound is a blend of raw melody, with the occasional orchestral backing track. However, the band does not think that they should be placed into any specific genre. Plastic Tree claim that their sound has been considerably influenced by British bands such as Radiohead and The Cure.
*Shin has been replaced by other two drummers since their debut, and their current drummer is Kenken Sato. (Source: Wikipedia)

Originally a visual kei band, the members later opted for more subtle attire, but have continued to maintain a dramatic image on stage. (Source: Wikipedia)
Note: Diru's sound has changed A LOT through the years. I'll focus this post in their early works because it's when they had their VK era.

Rui, the koorime who raised her—and who flung her brother from the cliffs of Hyouga to almost certain death—has died. Compelled by a strangely human need for closure, Yukina decides to return to her homeland one final time to pay her respects, but the journey will not be easy, and there is no guarantee of her return. With support from her Human World friends, she prepares to set out for Demon World and Hyouga itself expecting to be the only one burdened by things unresolved, but she is in for a surprise when Hiei declares that he will accompany her. Time and unspoken understanding have not brought Yukina much closer to him, a fact that she both regrets and resents, but perhaps, of all those who could have joined her, Hiei will turn out to be the one she needs most.

Yusuke hasn't seen Hiei in two years. Until one day he shows up on his doorstep bloody and unimpressed. The fire demon is caught up in a world of trouble, accused of treason and the king of Makai after his head. He turns to Yusuke, the only person he knows without a doubt that he can trust. Now, it's up to Yusuke to crack the fire demon's icy exterior and learn the truth. Hiei's very life depends on it.
9.
Pairing(s): Itsuki/Sensui
M/M
Featured Characters: Shinobu Sensui, Itsuki
Genre: Friendship, Romance, Angst
Rating: Teen and Up, Mature
Warnings: Internalized homophobia, emotional abuse, mind games, some non-explicit mentions of sexual processes
Summary:
He knew he was special the moment that they met, but he would never admit it. To him, Itsuki was only a friend, and he was the upstanding defender of justice with no flaws in sight. But this was the beginning of the end, as he himself had some flaws that only Itsuki was perceptive enough to see.
