HI SO A FRIEND SENT THIS TO ME idk if it's possible to research because there's not really a lot of character detail on the franchise as a whole lol but can i request for first after-school dates with luka shihou and/or asaharu soenji x reader (separately) from aoppella? because if klab doesn't start producing more content and backstory for them i will take matters into my own hands and cry over it ask someone to write it into existence :')

thanks so much for doing this! going to snowball this to my other friends with obscure interests u da best ❤️

Little character detail = plenty of room for headcanons lmao. I hope these are okay!!

Luka:

He’d been admiring you from afar for most of the school year. Luka’s self-image is low enough that he’d never planned to ask you out; admittedly, he got lost in daydreams about you from time to time, but you’ve got other friends. He’s sure you’d rather go out with a man that isn’t him, so he never bothers to ask. He’s completely unaware of the fact that you’ve been staring at him too.

One overcast day, the two of you cross paths on the way out of school, pausing to swap your shoes and reorganize your bags. You start some casual small talk, and Luka is oddly surprised that you even know who he is— you giggle at his bemusement and move to start your walk home, but as you push the front doors open, you’re greeted by the sound of rain pattering against the sidewalk outside. Your face falls as you dig through your bag; it appears you’ve forgotten your umbrella. Without really thinking about it, Luka offers you his.

Instead of just taking the umbrella and returning it tomorrow, you were insistent that he share it with you and walk you home; it would be rude to just send him home through the rain, after all. The first few minutes of the walk are quiet apart from the rain; the umbrella’s barely big enough for two, and when your shoulders collide, Luka gasps softly. The hand holding his umbrella is trembling hard enough that he’s amazed you two haven’t been soaked yet— and then your own hand wraps around his, yanking him sideways, and he’s sure he’ll pass out.

You glance over your shoulder at Luka as he folds his umbrella— you’ve dragged him into an arcade, one he’d been too distracted to notice. You ask if he’s got time to wait the rain out; he just nods, and your grins gets brighter as you pull him towards your favorite games. Luka is shy at first; you have to show him how to toss a skee ball, and he’s terrible at the fighting games. But as you dart past one of the dancing games, you notice him pause, his eyes following the lights as they flicker to the beat of the sample song. Then he’s on the game pad, dancing like his life depends on it, hitting every note with ease. When the song ends, you’re quick to pop a few more coins into the game machine, and he obliges with another dance, and another, and another. It isn’t until hours later that you realize the rain has been long over— you apologize for keeping him so late, and he laughs and tells you he had fun, don’t worry about it. Was that— a date—?

Asaharu:

Part of why Asaharu has been so intent on you is because you’ve yet to throw yourself at his feet. He’s always been given whatever he could possibly want, long before having to ask for it— and then you’d brushed past him without so much as an excuse me, and he knew he had to speak with you.

For some time, he’s at a loss; he’s bored with the ease of his life, but he attempts to flaunt his wealth in your direction anyways, hoping it catches your attention and drags you closer. Having fancy lunches brought to school, delivered by limo drivers; showing up on cold days in extravagant coats that probably cost more than your family earns in a year; it all frustrates him, not wanting to lean on his own family’s assets, but he doesn’t know what else to do. And it doesn’t even work— half the time you refuse to look his way, and when you do meet his eyes, you’re scowling. All he’s done is make you angry, hasn’t he?

Day in and day out of Asaharu yearning for you to at least smile at him, but you’re just completely uninterested. And then his brother Sayo asks Asaharu one important question— has he even talked to you yet? That’s the simple thing that knocks the older twin to his senses; the answer there is a flat no. he’s never said a proper word to you. And that’s why, the following day, you glance up from packing your bag to go home, only to find the boy standing in front of you, stammering his way through a sentence. Would you maybe want to hang out—?

Asaharu has no idea why you agreed. You don’t really know why, either; it was a bit shocking to have the high-and-mighty Soenji meekly ask you for anything, especially after weeks of peacocking and disrupting your days. Maybe that’s why you’d said yes. You’d demanded the date— he’d flinched at the word date, but that’s definitely what it was— would be on your terms; that’s how the two of you ended up on a park bench, ice cream cones in hand. Asaharu is well aware of your eyes on him as he futilely attempts to lick up the soft serve dripping down his arm, but he doesn’t mind. He’s finally got your attention, after all.

check riruhapi’s post about the note on the schools

the two emblems/logos seen on the top right of fya’m’ ’s image is of their school emblem and group logo respectively. the top one being their school emblem while the bottom is their group logo

Coresawa Maito:

don’t ask me what a work-leader is because i don’t have a clue lol (the original japanese phrase used is actually “part-time job leader)

he is in class 2-1

his favourite food is dagashi (cheap japanese candies and snacks)

his hobby is making money (mood)

what he likes about a cappella: ...isn’t it just fun to do something like this with people? it gives you the vibe of being normal teenagers

others introduce him as the following:

the work-leader at his part-time job in a family restaurant

he wants to get the drivers license for his motorcycle

a word to his group members: “aoppella... if we’re doing this then we’re doing this to win.”

Ayase Mitsuo:

“little devil” is a japanese term used to describe a specific personality. the little devil personality is essentially someone who likes to tease others and toy with people’s hearts by seemingly giving them what they want but in reality, have no intention in doing so. they often like to act all cute to let people’s guard down in thinking that they’re of no harm.

“wicked-hearted” is translated from the japanese term 腹黒 (haraguro) which literally means “black belly.” basically, it’s someone who always likes to tease others and usually has an ulterior motive (usually to tease) when asking people to do something for them. haraguro can sometimes play hand-in-hand with sadism (not always) because the things haraguro people like to ask others to do are usually things against their wishes or things they don’t want to do (which in terms can make them suffer).

he is in class 1-3

his favourite food is skewered chicken (team salt without doubt) <- referring to the add-ons, usually it’s between sauce and salt

his hobby is photography (his dad is a photographer apparently)

what he likes about a cappella: it’s the best chance to appeal my cuteness to the world

others introduce him as the following:

a complete narcissist to the bone who has the world revolving around him

the other member who is responsible for arranging their songs

his emotions are more reliable than anybody else (i’m kind of confused myself on this line so don’t quote me)

a word to his group members: “do your best but only to the point where you won’t stand out more than me please~”

Shigaki Akira:

he is in class 1-4

his favourite food is anything that is recently popular between girls

his hobby is reading (especially romance novels targeted towards female readers)

what he like about a cappella: whenever i sing, all of the girls become super happy for me. but recently, i’m beginning to find joy in singing itself.

others introduce him as the following:

he disrupts the school discipline

super strong at social media (meaning he has a lot of followers)

he has way too many posts on social media that include girls

a word to his group members: “recently, singing with everybody has become so much fun. it may not be such a bad idea to seriously aim for aoppella, just kidding.” (he’s totally not kidding)

Soenji Asaharu:

asaharu’s name means “sunny morning” in japanese where sayo’s name means “rainy night.”

there’s a video posted on aoppella’s official yt channel that involves asaharu explaining the basics of a cappella and breaking down all of the parts.

he’s in class 2-2

his favourite food is traditional japanese meals (especially family dishes)

his hobby is walking his dog (a borzoi) and visiting dog parks on days off

what he likes about a cappella: he’s able to explore the deep topic of “using only voiced to charm people’s hearts” and thinks of a cappella as a deep and complicated subject

others introduce him as the following:

the student council president

the main music arranger for the group

can be very scary occasionally

a word to his group members: “they say that if you slack off even for a single day while doing arts that it will take 3 days to gain back the progress you have made. so, let us not slack off at our basic trainings.”

Nekoyashiki Yui:

yui’s surname, nekoyashiki (猫屋敷) literally means “a house for cats”

the student disciplinary committee is actually quite a common student body in japanese schools. the title sounds scary because i legit couldn’t find any other translation for it but basically what they do is make sure students follow the school rules and code.

he is in class 2-2

his favourite food is onigiri (especially the ones his grandma make)

his hobby is paper craft and watching history dramas (from tv to stage shows, he is a total history nerd) (also i’m pretty sure history drama in this context refers to the samurai and sengoku era shows based on yui’s personality)

what he likes about a cappella: a way to improve one self and to sharpen his skills alongside his friends to create high quality performances

others introduce him as the following:

a grandpa and grandma’s boy

super straight-laced samurai

has a surprisingly cute hobby

a word to his group members: “i don’t work well with half-assed people so give nothing but your best from now on too.”

Shinkai Fukami:

the name “fukami” can be interpreted as “a deep person” (referring to personality) or even translated to “a deep sea.” this is interesting because fukami’s surname, “shinkai” (深海) literally means “a deep sea” in kanji.

total side note but when translations fukami’s profile, i totally got hisoka vibes from him, please tell me i’m not the only one.

he is in class 2-3

his favourite food is chicken

his hobbies are muscle training, jogging, and collecting panda goods

what he likes about a cappella: the atmosphere when singing

others introduce him as the following:

mystery boy

a hidden high-spec (means that he’s secretly very capable and skilled)

the amount of panda stuff he has increased recently

a word to his group members: “thank you for singing with me.”

AOPELLA - Oshiete! Asaharu-senpai! Akapera tte?! [Tell us, Asaharu-senpai! What is acapella?!] English Translation

Nice to meet you, all. My name is Soenji Asaharu. I'm the acapella manager of Kanadezaka Junior and Senior High School, also the leader of a band called FYA'M.

[Note: The text on the board has the same meaning with Asaharu’s introduction]

[Question on the board: What is acapella?] This time, I was told to introduce what "acapella" is, which it's one of the extracurricular activities in our school. I think this is a great opportunity to show you guys a little bit of acapella's charm. I'm looking forward to working with you guys.

[00:44] First of all, acapella is not a music that uses instruments, but a music that is expressed only through the voice of mouth and body. Acapella can be sung in various genres such as pop, rock and jazz.

[01:01] [Question on the board: How many people are needed for acapella?] There are no specific amount of people in order to make a group of acapella. But I think, singing group in common contains 4-6 people.

[01:10] [Sentence on the board: FYA'M has six members (1)] The feature of acapella such as bass part or voice percussion or else and the choruses are sometimes sounds differently from ordinary songs.

[01:24] [Question on the board: What is "Part" in acapella?] I mentioned bass part and voice percussion before. Those are the basics part of singing acapella. In other words, let's talk a little about the roles in our division.

First, the lead part is they who sing the main melody. [Pictures on the board: Maito & Hajime]

Chorus is they who create harmony through their singing with a different melody from the main. I usually call it "hamoru". [Pictures on the board: Mitsuo, Asaharu, Akira | Rin, Michitaka, Luka]

The bass part is to add thickness to the song by maintaining the rhythm of a song and producing a low range. [Pictures on the board: Sayo & Yui]

Voice percussion keeps the rhythm of a song along with the bass.  We can say, it's like the "drum" of acapella. [Picture on the board: Fukami]

Depending on the group, there are also groups that don't have voice percussion such as Metropolitan Otowa High School's acapella club. Sometimes, we also do that, we may arrange to replace this part depending on the song.

Okayy, so as a concrete example of acapella, let's listen to "King Gnu"-san's "Hakujitsu" that we cover.

First, let's listen to bass part and voice percussion by Yoi-kun and Fukami-kun. [The music plays]

In the chorus, we have Maito-kun and Mitsuo-kun. [The music plays]

Lastly, the lead part. In this song, it will be a double lead with an octave up. Once we combine these parts, this will happen. Me and Akira-kun are in charge of singing the lead part. [The music plays]

What do you guys think? The song was played all by our own voices. Isn't it really interesting?

There're still other unique things in acapella but, we will talk about those later, 'kay? Please, look forward to our victory against Metropolitan Otowa High School's acapella club. That's it from me, see you later!

TL Note: (1) Actually, this part uses the kanji of “people/person” [“人” (nin/hito--depending on the sentence)], but I rather use “member” for this sentence.

(2) This translation might be inaccurate since the translator is still learning Japanese. If there's someone who already mastered Japanese, fell free to DM me the revision if you find a mistake(｡•̀ -)✧

(3) Numbers in "[]" are the minutes of [Oshiete! Asaharu-senpai! Akapera tte?]'s video on Youtube

(4) Okay, soooo... I tried to translate one of Aopella’s content on YouTube directly from Japanese. This is my first time translating from Japan to English. Tbh, it’s hard since I’m still learning Japanese and English is not my mother language so I spent about 3 hours to finish this.. But, I kinda proud of myself and it’s motivate me to study Japanese harder. My work isn’t perfect but I hope this can help you to understand Asaharu’s words.

(5) Fyi, I have posted this one day faster on one of Aopella Discord Server, but I want to post here too :D

[delaix]

I made English subs for the Aoppella video “Understanding A Cappella’s Charm in 5 Minutes” using Amara Subs! Check it out here!

▍About "aoppella!?"

"aoppella!?" is KLab's latest original multimedia music project built on the themes of "youth" and "a cappella"!

▍Story

It was on that unforgettable day that the boys found themselves changed. In front of them were ordinary high school students just like them. There were no flashy costumes or musical instruments. But the moment they began to sing a surreal harmony filled the air and the crowd went wild.

"We want to sing like that! We want to shine, too!"

High school students captivated by the art of a cappella aim for the top in the exclusive high school a cappella contest, "Aoppella". They try to perfect their pitch as the show is about to begin!

Official Site Official Twitter Official YouTube Channel

▍Cast and Characters Revealed

The main characters are an eclectic group of high school students who attend Otowa Public High School and Kanadezaka Private High School. The voice actors who will bring these characters to life have shared their comments to commemorate the project announcement!

Otowa Public High School

■ Rin Tanba (丹波燐) - CV: Ryota Osaka (逢坂��太)

Comment from Ryota Osaka: a cappella was a first for me so the recording was difficult, but I took my time with it and I think we made good music. After recording, they mixed the songs and I was amazed that it really was a cappella! I think we can deliver something that exceeds expectations.

■ Michitaka Kariyazono (雁屋園道貴) - CV: KENN

Comment from KENN: 10 years have passed and now the project has been revived as aoppella! I am truly honored to be a part of it. I look forward to contributing one note in the song that will make up this story, as the character Michitaka Kariyazono. A cappella. Last time I gave it my all and this time I plan to do the same!

■ Luka Shihou (四方ルカ) - CV: Tetsuya Kakihara (柿原徹也)

Comment from Tetsuya Kakihara: "perabu!" The 10 years that we have waited to make this a reality have gotten up ready for aoppella!

■ Sayo Soenji (宗円寺 雨夜) - CV: Tomoaki Maeno (前野智昭)

■ Akira Shigaki (柴垣明) - CV: Wataru Urata (浦田わたる)

Comment from Wataru Urata: For the first time, I will challenge the complex genre of a cappella! It was a very good experience because it is a genre that I don't usually deal with. The recording was more fun than I expected, so I want to keep learning more about a cappella in the future!

■ Asaharu Soenji (宗円寺朝晴) - CV: Takuya Sato (佐藤拓也)

Comment from Shugo Nakamura: We will take on the art of a cappella, with only voice actors! I don't know what will happen, but I'll do my best, so I'd be grateful if you could watch us in this endeavor!

riruhapi’s name can also be translated into lil’ happy. but since idk if the devs meant this translation i’m just gonna leave it as the original katakana pronunciation.

otowa high is a metropolitan high school meaning that it is directly governed by the state. metropolitan in japanese is “toritsu” this is also where the name team toritsu or toritsu-gumi comes from when referring to riruhapi and “shiritsu” on the other hand, means “private school” and that’s why team shiritsu or shiritsu-gumi is used to refer to fya’m’

edit: from now on, otowa will be referred to as a public high school based on the english official translation! just to clarify, the reason i didn’t initially translate it to “public” is because public is usually referred as “kouritsu” 公立 in japanese instead of “toritsu” 都立 so it was semi-confusing TT

the two emblems/logos you see at the top left of riruhapi’s image is of their school emblem and group logo respectively. top one is school logo, bottom is group logo.

Suzumiya Hajime:

“my-pace” is essentially a term used to describe people who does things at their own pace without being considerate of others around them. in hajime’s case, he often causes some trouble to others by being so my-paced.

his name is hajime (means “the beginning” in japanese) because his birthday is 1/1

he’s in class 2-D

his favourite food is miso

his hobby is watching game livestreams and he’s a big fan of a streamer named “zou” (the name also means “elephant” in japanese)

what he likes about a cappella: all of it

others introduce him as the following:

he’s unbelievably directionally challenged

he’s super duper good at singing

and he looks at his smartphone way too much

a word to his group members: “from now on, let’s do our best together!”

Tanba Rin:

his name is actually a pun—can’t figure it out? repeat it a few times in your head and you’ll see :))

the third section of his translations which includes the “clown” and his “comebacks” refers to the typical japanese comedy style of “boke” and “tsukkomi.” you see a lot of it in japanese comedians and manzai where one person intentionally acts dumb and air headed so the other can reprimand them as a joke.

he’s in class 2-D

his favourite foods are ramen, beef bowls, fast food, and basically food that he can gobble down a lot at once

his hobby is bike touring

what he likes about a cappella: it feels good to be able to sing loudly and it’s fun to do things like this with everyone

others introduce him as the following:

he works the same part-time with maito

he’s the most fashionable in his group

his tsukkomi’s are smooth af

a word to his group members: “i’ll never get bored when i’m around you guys!”

Kariyazono Michitaka:

he’s in class 1-C

his favourite foods are milk, dairy products, and all dishes that use milk in them

his hobby is randonneuring (but by himself)

what he like about a cappella: we can make people smile with our singing

others introduce him as the following:

he helps at his dad’s shop and cares about his family a lot

he wants to drink latte art someday

you would want an older brother like him

a word to his group members: “it’ll be great if we can keep singing forever and ever with these members...!”

Shihou Luka:

luka’s last line in his character dialogue is translated to “i’ll always be watching over you” but the original japanese phrases means more like “i’ll always be watching you” if translated directly. even if it’s not meant to sound creepy, it kind of does when directly translated over so therefore i added the “over.” but basically think of it like he’ll always have his eyes on you (non-creepy ofc :p)

he’s in class 1-A

his favourite food is the vegetable-filled blt that his father makes

his hobby is going to the gym

what he likes about a cappella: he can come closer to being his ideal self through the support from everyone

others introduce him as the following:

the smiling prince

he’s kind of an airhead

he worries about calories way too much

a word to his group members: “singing in front of other people, this was something my past self could’ve never imagined...it’s thanks to all to you, thank you.”

Soenji Sayo:

when referring to sayo’s “overwhelming behaviours due to his wealthy family background,” i’m pretty sure it doesn’t mean that he acts like a spoiled brat. in this context, it’s more so referring to how he does unthinkable actions (like calling a helicopter to help search for a missing cat or smtg idk) for everyday trivial problems.

sayo refers to his twin brother as “asaharu-niisan” because due to japanese culture, even if they are twins, there are instances where the younger one refers to the older one as “older brother/sister.” and sayo respects the hell out of asaharu hence “niisan” with the “san” honorific

sayo’s name means “rainy night” in japanese where asaharu’s name means “sunny morning”

he’s in class 2-D

his favourite food is french cuisine (the specific dish name is too long)

his hobbies are visiting airfields (to fly planes I assume???) and reading

what he likes about a cappella: he can make the audience happy by giving form to his emotions with the people he likes

others introduce him as the following:

knowledgeable

occasionally air-headed

he can actually do kado (japanese flower arrangement)

a word to his group members: “the high school life that i’ve experienced with everyone is one of the most precious treasures in my life.”
