Future Diary "The Live World": Part 2!

(TW: grainy images galore!)

Originally, I was expecting my first post on this topic to be the only one, but I've come across some more interesting content related to this event. More specifically, I've found 9 blog posts about the Future Diary concert from the artists who performed at the event! These artists include the voice actors from the show, Faylan, ChouCho, Nirgilis, and even Future Diary's screenwriter. These blog posts range all the way from details about the concert, to the making of 12th's costume.

Because of how much information and pictures this update will contain, I'll divide it into two parts: this post, which will include the blogs from Yukki's VA, Minene's VA, Faylan and ChouCho (these last two are singers btw), while the next post will focus on the making of 12th's costume, including blogs from 12th's VA and the screenwriter of Future Diary (who was comissioned to make part of the costume).

More information + translations under the cut.

First off, I want to add that there might be more blog posts about this event on different websites and accounts. It's hard to guess how many since most of the older Japanese blog sites are defunct now, meaning I'd need the direct link of the blog to view it on the Wayback Machine. In fact, there is one blog post that I can't add here because it wasn't archived on the Wayback Machine, and it's by Yuno's voice actress: Tomosa Murata. The blog itself is archived, but the entry about the concert is not.

With that out of the way, let's get to the posts that we do have. To start off, we have an Ameba post by Misuzu Togashi, Yukiteru's VA, which reads as follows:

Whenever I thought of this event, I always saw it as a distant future, yet it came so suddenly and ended so quickly… that must be proof of how much I enjoyed it. I want to thank everyone involved in the event from the bottom of my heart: the performers, staff, and above all, everyone who came to the venue and helped create such a great event. Seriously, thank you all! Here’s a little summary of how it all went down…

They brought in so many flowers!! Look, there’s even a flower Yukki! I was so surprised when I saw it!!!!! (@￣□￣@;)!! I loved it～♪ We even received flowers in the dressing room, I’m so grateful for it (sobs).

This is me with Rokugen Alice ((^∇^)) She was so wonderful!! And her basket skirt is so cute ～(;´д｀)

(From left to right) This is Faylan, me, Tomosa-chan and ChouCho. We talked a lot with ChouCho and Faylan in the dressing room, it was so much fun ♪ I was super excited!!!!!!

This is what it means to have a flower in both hands!! Sorry, bad joke… This is Minene (Aizawa Mai), Yukiteru (me) and Yuno (Murata Tomosa). Come to think of it, this is the same line-up as the poster, isn’t it? ♪ And as always, we have to talk about this guy!!

＼(◎)ゞ＜ Twii!! ＜(◎)＞＜ What’s the matter m’lady… don’t I look amazing?? He did it!!

Real 12th balls. (Note: These balls were signed by the cast and thrown to the audience at the end of the concert.)

I am not a loser… I’m anything but!! 12th was certainly the idol of Future Diary!! Thank you for making it so fun!!!

Here’s the cast all together! Kawahara-san (12th), Shiraishi-san (Kousaka), Aizawa-san (9th), Tomosa-chan (2nd) and me!! Thank you for all the help!!!!!

Thanks for coming to support me ☆～°･(ノД`)･°･ I was also able to invite both of my parents this time… I can’t thank them enough for all of their support. All the artists and staff made a wonderful performance, it was so exciting!! I wanted to join the crowd and sing along with them!! I couldn’t take photos of the stage, but the set looked like the Cathedral of Casualty!! It was one surprise after another since we entered the dressing room…  I also felt both like myself and Yukiteru during the concert. I’ve always been easily influenced by the roles I play, but this time, it felt like I was having fun together with Yukiteru all throughout the show…

This was Tomosa-chan’s first concert, yet she did so well!! Thanks, Yuno, I had so much fun!!!!!

It’s oveeeeeeer. It’s oveeeeeeer. I can’t believe it’s oveeeeeeer!! °･(ノД`)･°･ To end this… once again, thanks so much, everyone!!! I hope you keep loving Future Diary for a long time to come!! I wanna do a concert again!!!  Thank you for reading this far. I’m really satisfied with all the photos I took. I hope to see everyone again, after all… We haven’t gone to see the stars yet, have we? So, let’s meet again in the future ♪ヽ(´▽｀)/

Next up, we have the following post from Aizawa Mai (Minene's VA):

This has become an unforgettable day for me. To everyone who came to the event… I could see all of your faces, for the first time, I could see the faces of everyone who loves Future Diary. “Nice to meet you, do I look like Minene?” It’s very scary to stand on a stage carrying the weight of a character so beloved like Minene, especially since I’ll never actually be Minene. I didn’t want to disappoint anyone, so I sang with all my heart. On the way home, I received so many nice comments on Twitter; I was so happy it brought me to tears. My followers always make me cry. Thank you, guys.  I wonder, how many times will Future Diary travel around the world? I’ll follow it wherever it goes. Also, look who I found walking through the dressing room ↓

The costume is so cool (lol) My dream of meeting OLDCODEX also came true! ↓

Oh dear…(lol) Their performance was amazing. And now for the cast ↓

They really helped me calm my nerves. And… My favorite people also came to watch ↓↓

My treasures ↑ That’s right, these are my favorite people. And the people who love me for who I am. There’s no one who can replace people this precious. At the end of the event, Minene said the following: “You are now Minene-sama’s hostages for the rest of your lives!!” If you keep being Minene’s hostages forever… that would make me happy (to put it mildly).

Now, we have the following Ameba post by Faylan (the singer for the second OP, first ED and HAPPY END theme):

It’s over… I’m so sad that it’s over… ・°・(ノД｀)・°・ The long-awaited Future Diary “The Live World” ended today! Ahhh! Thanks to all the people who came! I was so happy to meet the voice actors for Future Diary, it was really exciting! I also got acquainted with all the band members, which made me feel much more carefree throughout the concert ☆ Either way, I had a lot of fun～ Here are a few photos of the concert…

This is what my costume looked like ☆

And and ~ Here are Misuzu Togashi-san, who plays Amano Yukiteru, and Tomosa Murata-san, who plays Gasai Yuno ☆ Plus ChouCho-san.

Yukki!!!! Yuno!!!! I’m so happy to have met these people who I admire so much, I talked to them a lot ~☆ I was so excited!! Haha ε=ε=ε= ヾ(~▽~)ノ And I’m so grateful for everyone who came!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!! I got to sing the encore we made for the concert called “HAPPY END!” The background video we used was also made specifically for the concert! It was so touching ☆ Imagine a Future Diary… what-if! A what-if! I’m just hoping they make another installment (but that’s my own selfish wish…).  I wish I could be a part of it again… I know it would make me so happy. That’s how much I love this series ☆ I’m sad that the concert is over now, but… I promise I’ll try my hardest to get involved in more projects like this lol. I’ll try my hardest!!! Lastly, here’s a photo of my fellow Fay’s ☆

Thank you for all your hard work (｀・ω・´)ゞ

An interesting piece of information from this post was that the HAPPY END theme was made specifically for the concert, and first unveiled here as well, similarly to how the third OP was also unveiled at this event.

Next up is the following Ameba post by ChouCho (the singer for the 7th's theme and Yuno's second theme):

On Sunday, I performed at the “Future Diary The Live World” concert at Shibuya-AX. I sang “7th Heaven” and “Happy Fate”.  It was my first time singing both of these songs live, so I was really nervous (＠Д＠； But I’m glad that the audience was so kind. I wore black to match the image of Future Diary ♪ 

The blouse is from Jill Stuart and the skirt is from LANVIN en Bleu. After the show, I took photos with Faylan-san, Yukki’s VA, Misuzu Togashi-san, and Yuno’s VA, Tomosa Murata-san!

!!!

I was shocked when he walked into the dressing room (　 ﾟ ▽ ﾟ ;) I’ll also be performing tomorrow at an event in Nagoya! I’ll be performing some new songs live, so I’ll try to do my best o(^▽^)o

There are three other blog posts which are worth including, but I'm not going to translate them since they don't share any insights into the concert, rather basic event details (performing artists, conditions for the ticket sales, etc.). These posts are from Minoru Shiraishi (Kousaka's VA) , Nirgilis (the band that performed MurMur's theme) and a second post by ChouCho.

Stay tuned for part 3 :DD

Dream collaborations ♪ ♫

We once dreamed of a collaboration between Within Temptation and Tarja and it happened. Then, we dreamed a collaboration between Revo-sensei and Yuki Kajiura  and it happened. Epica covering Linked Horizon’s songs was something we did not dream of, but was fit to happen! ♪ ♫ And it happened!

Maybe if we dream out loud again, something might happen! ♦ So, it would be fun if Kamijo-san was to collaborate with Within Temptation. Something like a symphonic metal sound, full english or half japanese-half english lyrics. ♦  And how about if Revo-sensei was to collaborate with Rokugen Alice and Akane Liv? Something like operatic, power symphonic..Revo..metal. ♦  Or a collacoration between Kamijo-san and Akane Liv? Magic was to happen! c’x

★ Haha! Why not? Why not? We dream of strong music talented spirits combinations. We dream of wonderful sound that will inspire us once again!  ✨ Oh, please God! ✨

Kajiura Yuki is the biggest name in the anime OST world, not only does she composed opening song for Gundam Mobile suite, but for Tsubasa Chronicle, Pandora Hearts, Noir, Madlax, PMMM, Sword art online, Demon Slayer, Fates Stay Night, Black Butler, Kara no Kyokai, le Portrait de la petite Cosette etc. She is a giant. 

Sound Horizon is particular though cause Revo’s popularity exploded when he got to compose the soundrack for Attack on Titan. He already made the OST for bravely Default (check the banger that is Serpent eating the ground) and his got the artist for Bravely Default to have illustrated all of his doujin album for Sound Horizon, from Chronicle 2nd to Nein (and he is working on a new one right now) but his got a good collaboration in his original : Shimotsuki Haruka, Remi, the trio of Kalafina, YUKI, Aramary (though she stopped collaborating after some time but reapparead in a collab with Imperial Circus Dead Decadance), Jimang etc. But still, Revo and Sound Horizon are the most popular doujin circles doing original, not couting Ali PROJECT because ALI PROJECT is even more of a giant in terms of Opening music, same with Yousei Teikoku even though Shirai’s got some composition with Unlucky Morpheus. Next you have Rokugen Alice famous for singing Opening for video games, Akise Haru’s character song in Mirai Nikki, and the rest is far more popular thanks to either Vocaloid song cover like Hanatan or Touhou arrange like East New Sound or Akatsuki Records. There are other good though, Ayutrica/Eclipseed, Hatsuki Yura, Ariabl’s Eyes, Lostfairy, Seraph, Emiru3, Suzuha Yumi (she has the kajiura vibes) Love Solfege being a giant of video games OP and ED, Chibicco folk etc.

On a sidenote, Jill, a popular japanese violonist who plays for Rose Noir, Unlucky Morpheus, Lostfairy and Hollow Mellow got to play the remix version of FEH heroes Lonely Puppeteer

Are you familiar with Kajiura Yuki or Sound Horizon ?

nope. but then i dont really keep track of bands or whats going on with them outside of any interesting songs i hear.

Más allá de la lluvia de minions que hay a principio de cada pantalla, lo que hace grande a la franquicia Touhou Project siempre han sido los combates contra sus jefes, el increíblemente variado plantel de personajes, la música y una densidad de balas a esquivar que casi no se vea el fondo de la pantalla. Como parte de los estudios que forman el Project, Play Doujin!, AreaZero decidió intentar reunir todas esas características en un juego de lucha en tres dimensiones, de donde nació Touhou Sky Arena -Matsuri- Climax en 2016. Pero ya sabemos que la última vez que un juego que trató de reflejar esto en Nintendo Switch acabó la cosa regular. ¿Habrá llegado la cosa a mejor puerto esta vez?

    Pronóstico meteorológico: cielos azules y lluvias de balas

Batallas aéreas en tres dimensiones, con spameo de rayos de luz, bola de energías, pedruscos enormes que caen del cielo… No, no estoy hablando de la saga Budokai Tenkaichi, pero la verdad que es la forma más fácil de comprender ante el tipo de juego que estamos. Cada una de las 20 chicas disponibles tiene dos tipos de combate diferentes (entre los que elegimos al principio de los combates) y que recogen todos los ataques y Spell Cards característicos de cada una. Volar a toda velocidad en cualquier dirección, atacar cuerpo a cuerpo, rematar el combo con un Master Spark de Marisa, retirarse y atacar con una Spell Card, para ver que has sido un poco lento y el rival se ha posicionado detrás tuya y comienza su turno de zurrarte. Touhou Sky Arena -Matsuri- Climax no tiene esa densidad absurda de balas que tienen los juegos originales de Danmaku, pero lo compensa con un combate rápido, frenético, fluido y con libertad de vuelo en todas direcciones donde quedarse quieto un segundo suele ser sinónimo de recibir no poco daño. Un combate que de entrada es algo complejo y confuso, pero que tras unas cuantas partidas se vuelve sencillo, en gran parte por el extenso tutorial que se encarga de explicar todos los tipos de movimientos, situaciones , ataques y cómo interactúan con la música.

  Porque sí, al contrario de lo que viene siendo habitual en el género, aquí la música tiene mucho que decir y decidir durante los combates. Y es que es bastante difícil separar todo lo que es Touhou Project de su música. De hecho la leyenda cuenta que ZUN comenzó a crear juegos para poder distribuir a través de ellos la música que creaba. Internet está llena de versiones de todos los tipos hechas por fans de cada una de las piezas musicales que acompañan a cada juego y Touhou Sky Arena -Matsuri- Climax recoge más de 70 canciones compuestas e interpretadas por miembros y grupos más famosos del fandom como Rokugen Alice, A-One y BUTA-OTOME, captando a esa gran parte de la comunidad. Pero es que encima la música afecta a la jugabilidad.

  #gallery-0-9 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-9 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-9 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-9 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

  Cada una de las 70 canciones divide su duración en fases distintas fases (Low, Normal, High y Climax) en función del ritmo de la música que suene durante la misma. Y es que durante cada fase, los ataques, danmakus y Spell Cards que podemos usar cambian de menor poder a mayor poder. Es aquí donde la elección de la canción que acompaña el combate toma una importancia vital. Escoger una canción que nos permita usar los ataques más fuertes al comienzo puede ser una estrategia bastante buena, pero puede convertirse rápidamente en una estrategia muy arriesgada si no se consigue la ventaja que se pretende nada más comenzar. De todas maneras el juego incluye un editor donde poder cambiar el orden y longitud de cada fase (manteniendo un equilibrio, claro está) para que cualquier jugador pueda adaptar sus canciones favoritas a la estrategia que prefiera, aunque evidentemente se sacrifica esa unión entre la canción y el estado de poder de cada personaje.

  Para terminar de hablar del apartado gráfico hay que decir que, por desgracia, se nota que el juego original sobre el que se basa esta versión tiene ya sus tres añitos a la espalda y viene de un estudio pequeño, por lo que es discreto. Pero no os equivoquéis, todas las chicas, sus ropas, sus ataques son reconocibles y están muy bien recreados dentro de la limitación poligonal que tienen. Por desgracia no se puede decir lo mismo de los escenarios. Lugares reconocibles por cualquier fan sacados de los títulos de la saga principal, pero que están completamente vacíos. Con la excusa de las batallas aéreas se ha malgastado, a mi entender, una oportunidad fantástica de introducir elementos flotantes en los escenarios (más allá de alguna columna o torre en ciertos escenarios) que aportasen una capa jugable y estrategia de esconderse y jugar alrededor de ellas.

  ¡Esquiva esto, si puedes!

Y con toda la teoría del combate grabada a fuego en la cabeza toca ponerla en práctica en los modos arcade, survival, contra otros jugadores y Sky Adventure. En el primero encontramos la típica sucesión de combates con una mini historia para cada uno de los personajes y el segundo se trata de aguantar tantos combates como podamos. En cuanto a las opciones para jugar contra otros jugadores existe tanto el modo online como el local. Este último permite jugar a dos jugadores con pantalla partida, pero para jugar a cuatro jugadores hay que recurrir a varias consolas o introducir en el combate a dos CPUs. En cuanto al online, como es habitual en este tipo de juegos de nicho, está desierto, siendo lo más aconsejable encontrar a algún otro jugador que lo tenga por algún medio externo al juego y quedar con él si se quiere jugar.

  Mención aparte merece el modo Sky Adventure que viene a ser un modo de desafíos donde el objetivo es ganar los combates cumpliendo una serie de requisitos. Al hacerlo se abren dos combates nuevos con sus requisitos y no es que haya precisamente pocos desafíos. Acabar usando algún tipo de ataque en concreto, con más del 50% de la vida o derrotando a los enemigos en un orden concreto, son algunos de los ejemplos de los retos a superar. Como recompensa de algunos de estos combates obtenemos Reigyokus, que son las piezas finales en la personalización de los personajes. Si elegir entre los dos estilos de lucha distintos y la canción con sus fases predefinidas o personalizadas no era suficiente, gracias a las Reigyoku podremos variar los distintos parámetros de cada personaje a nuestro gusto, pero antes hay que desbloquearlas.

    Touhou Sky Arena -Matsuri- Climax. Así sí pelean las “tojas”

Intentar transportar los combates encarnizados de los juegos de Touhou Project a las tres dimensiones no es fácil, muchos han fallado por el camino. Touhou Sky Arena -Matsuri- Climax triunfa en su propósito cambiando la densidad de balas por acción frenética y dándole importancia por el camino a una parte tan importante en la franquicia y el fandom como es la música, tanto en el apartado sonoro como jugable. La fórmula perfecta para contentar a los fans.

  Hemos analizado Touhou Sky Arena -Matsuri- Climax gracias a un código de descarga cedido por AreaZero.

Hi! I'm currently rereading the revised first and second books of ICoS and wanted to share what has sort of become my theme for Boyd and Sin's story with you ;P - [六弦アリス] 純潔娼婦 - That's the name of it on YouTube, just copy and paste it, if you'd like. Also, greetings & salutations from a fellow Hufflepuff~

A hardy howdy to you too, fellow Hufflepuff!

omg I love that song! It’s so beautiful! And it has a sort of atmospheric sadness mixed with something else, if that makes sense. I was curious about it so I looked up more on it (which you probably already know but I’ll list here in case anyone else is curious). The name translates to Innocent Harlot. This talks about the meaning of the song, which now makes sense why I thought it sounded beautiful but also sad.

Also, it’s from Rokugen Alice which I think I’ve heard of before but I never realized--there’s such a thing as a doujin music project?? wtffff I only knew of doujinshi, like comics/art, not music as doujin too. crazy... I mean, it makes sense since doujin basically is just self-publishing but it never occurred to me to consider that concept to be the same name in other formats.

Anyway, I frickin love the song--good catch on that :) I’ve been slow as hell to add things to the ICoS playlist but want me to add it for Boyd and Hsin?

Here’s the song for others to hear:
