Anyways shoutout to this time I was in Hinamizawa real (Shirakawago village) during the Watanagashi Festival week-end

Imagine.

It's getting dark in Hinamizawa, you're in a hurry because you forgot to eat like a moron and rush to the closest konbini.

Exhausted, you finally enter the shop.

The first thing you see here is litteral Rena from Higurashi doing her groceries.

(This is the only picture I have of the event and to be honest the blur just makes it WAY FUNNIER)

Shirakawago: the outgoing sister of Gokayama. Also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Shirakawago is less tranquil than Gokayama, instead with a more bustling village-town in the mountains vibe

A TRIP TO JAPAN

We recently flew from Milan to Tokyo for a 12-day holiday in Japan. The trip was organised by an Italian tour operator for a group of 12 people.

All in all it was a pleasant experience, firstly beacause Japan is a marvellous country and then beacause the group was well assorted: 3 young couples on their honeymoon, a middle-aged couple, and two mature ladies of our age.

From Milan to Tokyo we had an adventurous flight but at last we reached the Japanese capital.

If you visit Japan neither in April (cherry blossom) nor in mid-October (foliage) it won’t be crowded and two days in Tokyo are good enough to enjoy shopping in Shibuya, taste an ice-cream or pancake in Harajuku and visit both the Meiji Shintoist Temple and the Kannon Buddhist one without queuing. Moreover, as soon as you enter the beautiful park of the Meiji Temple, you breathe absolute peace.

Worth visiting is the nearby city of Nikko, where the Shikyo Bridge and the Futarasanjin are a World Heritage Site.

In the following days we had two nice excursions, the first one from Magome to Tsumagotwo, where you walk for 8 km in the ancient street that three centuries ago connected Tokyo to Kyoto.

The second walk was in Takayama, a beautiful small town in the mountains.

In the evening, though, we were quite disappointed: the dinner based on the famous Hida meat, booked from Italy for 300 euros each, we found out we could buy there for 30 euros.

We consoled ourselves at the Mercure Hida, where we had the pleasant surprise to get a complimentary access to their onsen (thermal SPA), wearing nice kimonos provided by the hotel.

The following day we went to Shirakawago - by the way, in all our trips by bus or train we were accompanied by absolutely well-organised, guides speaking Italian, provided by MTJ - where we witnessed the most beautiful village we have ever seen; then in Kanazawa we went to the Samurai Noumura house and its splendid garden Kenrouken.

We spent the night in Kanazawa at the Onyado Nono, where we enjoyed another marvelous onsen for free.

Then it was Kyoto, the former Japanese capital, where we spent the last 3 days

Here is the tea ceremony, followed by a tour of the ancient city of Higashiyama.

Then we visited the bamboo forest, the rocks garden and the Ryoanji Temple (World Heritage Site)

We then went to Nara, where, at the Todai-ji, we admired the biggest bronze Buddha in the world, and we had a nice walk in the park that hosts 1200 deer.

The last stop of our journey was the Osaka Kansai airport (designed on an island by Renzo Piano)

It's Nobunaga's birthday on the Otome game, Ikemen Sengoku. To celebrate, I went on a trip to the historic village of Shirakawago and Hida Takayama (UNESCO heritage site). The village is a steep area with mountain folds and is preserved to remind us of how Japan looked like before its modernization.

I could picture Ikesen warlords rallying their troops down the path to meet their enemies.

PS. I also went to the Azuchi Ruins a few years ago when I first started playing Ikesen. It was a surreal experience.

▶▶ LOADING … starter for @lgcjiho (for vnamission )

this is the type of thing he's down for. yes! being out in shirakawago village, which reminded him of being back home in the countryside yet not at all, and doing what villagers do. and also being given the time to produce even more, but with the rest of the members this time? perfection. despite the outskirts always having dialects, he'd say that the senior members of agito truly have gotten fluent in Japanese through the years, and no flack or slack to newer members either who were going to catch up in no time. that being said, they were told to organically busk up with instruments and... yushin barely recalls the last time his fingers graced a keyboard or piano.

"i hope i don't have to tune a piano, or somethin' like that, but that's the only instrument i know," yushin grumbles to jiho as they had made some headway with some drafts of lyrics, compositions. jiho was a leader in many ways, but also the leader in terms of their team with producing. "if anything, i can definitely figure out the melody first and then see what we have in terms of instruments available to us. at least there are some guitars for some of us, right? that's a good start..." yushin releases a breath out that makes him realize that despite enjoying the task, there was always a sense of pressure that he put on himself for this. would the villagers like their music? would it be able to convey appropriately to them? and they were composing as a group. much different from working solo or with the other various producers before. this time, it'd be agito's work. he wanted them to do exceptionally well. "why do i feel so tense about this, jiho? oh my gosh."

V&A MISSION 006

SCHEDULE TYPE: TRIMESTER ( PART 1 OUT OF 1 ) SCHEDULE RESTRICTIONS: cannot be paired with another trimester schedule, unless stated otherwise. for reference as to whether your muse is eligible for this event, please click over HERE.

on OCTOBER 9, the V&A managers, KYUHWAN and KYUWON gathered all of the current members together along with KANG MAXIMILIAN in one of the practice rooms. KYUWON begins the meeting as he reveals, “some of you may be familiar with MAXIMILIAN and i’m here to tell you that he will be joining V&A, specifically in the AGITO unit. please congratulate and welcome him to the group.” the managers allow the rest of the members to get well-acquainted and welcome the new member before resuming the main reason why they were there, which is because of their schedules.

VERSUS COMEBACK

“we know it’s been around 8 months since V&A had a comeback and due to the year end ceremonies along with the other groups’ schedules, V&A’s comeback has been pushed a bit. this also means that this will be the first time that V&A will be having korean promotions separately in their units. VERSUS will be having their comeback in the middle of JANUARY while AGITO is scheduled to be sometime around Q2 2024. but no worries, because both units will be busy with various activities from now until then.” KYUHWAN explains to the members before he tells the pertinent details to the current VERSUS members about their comeback.

lyric distributions for this will be revealed later, but here’s the album list:

CREAM SODA ( TITLE TRACK )

DIVE

DAYDREAM

TIME DIFFERENCE

PADO

VERSUS will be having their comeback on JANUARY 15, but due to the songs mentioned above along with other projects, they will start preparing, recording and learning the choreography for some of the songs starting now until then.

MUSIC IN THE TRIP

“while VERSUS is busily preparing for their comeback, AGITO will be guests on a new variety show called ‘MUSIC IN THE TRIP’, where the guests will be split into teams, travel to a different place, and get some inspiration to create a new song. for AGITO, all of you will be traveling to SHIRAKAWAGO, GIFU and staying in a small inn there for a few days. even though this will be filmed, consider that bit of time to disconnect and relax.” KYUWON advised the AGITO members, knowing that they would enjoy the trip.

AGITO will be in GIFU from NOVEMBER 15 to NOVEMBER 20. during that time, they will be staying at the inn and getting a chance to do normal day to day activities that many of the villagers do. the AGITO members will also be tasked to hone in their strengths and talents in music production and create a song. since the place that they will be residing in is quite remote, there will be limited devices used to create music so they will be encouraged to create the melodies based on everyone’s proficiency with musical instruments and music composition. lyrics will be based on everyone’s skill points in lyric composition. on the last day of the trip, all of the teams participating in the show will be having a talent show night where they get to perform the songs live in front of the teams and staff members. 

for the sake of this task, there will be some stipulations on the song:

the song has to be a korean b-side that was released sometime between JULY 1, 2021 to NOVEMBER 18, 2023. drama osts will not count for this. it’s recommended to choose a song that not only complements the members and their skills, but one that can match agito’s concept. furthermore, the songs suggested will need to come from groups with 3-6 members. ic wise, the episodes will be released sometime around Q1. the final song chosen will be pre-released to promote the show AND will be a part of the upcoming korean comeback for AGITO.

we recommend suggesting at least THREE songs in total, but more is encouraged so that it would be helpful for the admins to decide which song will be best suited for AGITO’s album. you can send all of the songs to admin a ( cloud ) or send it through lgcmanager, but make sure to send in the song suggestions before NOVEMBER 18, 2023 11:59PM EST.

LGC WEBTOON OST

KYUHWAN then announces another small project, “it’s going to be announced soon that LGC’S WEBTOON — which originated as PROJECT ORIGIN, will now be an animation series. since all of your alter egos are a part of this universe, LGC has asked V&A to record some songs that will be part of their OST.” 

more details about the webtoon will be coming sometime around Q1 2024, but V&A will be recording the songs listed:

SAVIOR ( WEBTOON OPENING THEME / VERSUS )

458 ( VERSUS )

TRAVELER ( AGITO )

SOS ( YUSHIN SOLO )

because of their busy schedules, this will be done whenever the boys have any free time and will be done in several separate recording sessions.

JIHO’S BIRTHDAY ( HIDDEN CAMERA PRANK )

on the morning of OCTOBER 31ST, JIHO will be called to a meeting with KYUWON about how they’re impressed with JIHO’s talent as a producer that a company for a ‘fake’ upcoming rookie girl group ( not from lgc ) wants him to create a title track for them. KYUWON will tell him that it’ll be a 5 member girl group ( think something like APINK’s latest comebacks in terms of concept. the names of the girl group members are YURI, MYUNGHWA, JIWOO, SUMIN, and DAY ) and additional details such as when he’ll be able to meet the girl group in person, when their debut date is, etc. all of this will be secretly recorded for content.

during this time, YUSHIN, MAXIMILIAN, KEEHO, and HARU will enter JIHO’s studio room, decorate the room with a mixture of halloween and birthday decor, and prepare the birthday cake by removing it from the box and adding the candles. while the other members are working on decorating the place, each member will be called to the side to film a birthday message for JIHO, which will be a segment that JIHO will be able to watch by himself ( the fans will not get a chance to watch this part ). some of the assistant managers will be helping them film the behind the scenes content as this is going on. when KYUWON and JIHO are done with their meeting, they will head towards JIHO’s studio room, find out about the surprise and KYUWON will admit that the meeting was merely a prank to stall for some time for the surprise. to conclude the video, JIHO will be asked to make a wish and blow out the birthday candles.

the video for this will be released around NOVEMBER 13 on V&A’s youtube channel. 

YEAR END CEREMONIES & PROJECT ???

year end ceremonies will be in a separate post and be revealed at a later time. near the end of the meeting, KYUWON will inform the boys that during the week of DECEMBER 4, they will be having a special schedule, but not much is discussed about it except that for one of the days, they are expected to wake up at 3AM in the morning. KYUHWAN will also joke that it may or may not be related to a previous variety show that the V&A members have participated in ( aka lgc boys adventures ).
