Locations in Sapporo

things in my personal life has calmed down somewhat for the time being so I figured I'd write up an easy lore post that I completely forgot I could make so here we are

I wanted to list some common locations found in Sapporo as featured in Vocal Android! I haven't actually talked about the setting too much and while I'm kinda bad at designing locations, I figured I could at least talk about them a little

But, yeah, I'll do my best to explain, so some lore under the cut?

Crypton Laboratories HQ/Crypton Towers: The place where the CVs live and where Meiko and Kaito work. A huge white, gray, and cyan building shaped like a C if you look at it from above, it's home to Crypton's various research labs. The building has floors entirely dedicated to be Miku, the twins and Luka's living spaces, and they each have their own color-coded rooms and living areas. There's a recording and dance studio in the building for the CVs to do their idol work and music playing, as well as a virtual reality training room. There's also the CVs' very own superhero base of sorts, which Gumi helped design, and allows the crew to oversee the city in case danger makes itself known (it's also a convenient place to hang out and take a nap). There's also a sizeable garage below the building, where Rin keeps the road roller.

Kenmochi Academy High School: Miku, Rin and Len's school. A large, clean campus made of three V-shaped buildings with their points pointing towards each other and hexagon-shaped windows. A pretty high-bar school with a lot of recent technology, it's one of the more popular and well-known high schools in town (and thus, an excellent candidate for Meiko's goal of having the CVs interact with humans their age). It is headed by Principal Sasaki. (Current Student List: Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin and Len, Kobayashi Matcha, Masaoka Azuki, Yumemi Nemu, Hibiki Lui, Akira Kano/Arsloid, Otomachi Una, Sato Sasara, Suzuki Tsudumi, Kokone Aime, Kizuna Akari, Futaba Minato, Hoshino Ichika, Tenma Saki, Hinomori Shiho, Mochizuki Honami, Koharu Rikka (formerly), Suzune Ring)

Ichikawa Academy High School: Gumi's school, a high school on the eastern side of the city. It's a more "normal" high school, less flashy than Kenmochi and looking more typical, but still has a few good programs to its name, including its science program (which Gumi tries to participate in). (Current Student List: Megumi "Gumi" Nakashima, Kotonoha Akane and Aoi, Tohoku Zunko, Gahata Meiji, Kamishiro Rui, Kusanagi Nene, Tenma Tsukasa, AiSuu, Tsuina-chan)

Utahako Elementary School: The local elementary school a block or two away from Kenmochi. It's a modest little elementary school, having been newly refurbished from an older building. Many of the students that go there end up graduating to Kenmochi later. Kiyoteru teaches here. (Current Student List: Kaai Yuki, Oliver Twitchell, Rana, Macne Petit, Tohoku Kiritan, Otomachi Unagi, Ryuuto Nakashima)

The Macne Cafe: A fresh-looking little internet cafe that sits in the town plaza and is the CVs' favorite hangout spot. Established by the Macne Family, it's become slowly but surely known around town for its delicious green apple cheesecake and desserts. Nana has been trying various ways to spread their customer base further.

The V5: A swanky nightclub and bar that is also in the plaza, run by four friends: Amy, Chris, Kaori and Ken. Many of the adult characters come there to drink and chat a bit.

UTAU Studios: A record label company and radio studio stationed in the industry hub of town, notable for its large staff and loooong list of talents. The studio runs a daily radio broadcast that's fairly popular, and their top talent is Namine Ritsu (or it was, anyway).

Sapporo University: The local college. A bit of an older building since it's been there basically forever compared to a lot of the rest of futuristic city. Has a small, colorful dormitory community next to it where students stay. (Current Student List: Galaco, Po-uta, Tsurumaki Maki, Shirosaki Yuudai; Utatane Piko isn't a student but he lives there)

Kamukura Shrine: A humble shrine that's only a little ways away from the beach, and is where most of the cast goes for holiday celebrations (such as New Years). It's headed by Kigashima Sourin and his protégés, Kurono Takehiro, Wakamatsu Akashi, Aoyama Ryuusei and Shirakami Koutarou, who are training to be proper priests. They also have their shrine maiden, a fussy teenage girl named Lumi who claims to be a jellyfish kami from the sea. Her antics tend to bring a lot of visitors.

SEKAI Auditorium: A venue a few blocks away from Crypton HQ and the main place where Miku and friends perform locally. Very spacious and known to host tons of acts, including smaller ones like local bands, singers and theater shows. Also functions as a sort of convention center at times. However, it's tendency to get raided by supervillains (mostly in pursuit of Miku and co.) has given it a bit of a weird reputation.

The Nebula: A recently-established nightclub in the plaza run by American DJ CYBER DIVA (and her partner CYBER SONGMAN), who is also the headlining act of the place. Used to have a bit of a rivalry with Miku, but they're both over it. Gets a lot of younger customers than the ones at the V5.

Dr. Momone's House: A modern house in a quiet neighborhood next to the industrial part of town where Dr. Momone, Momo and Defoko live. Their neighbors consist of Yufu (who lives down the lane), Eru (who lives at the far end of the lane), Tsukishiro Hakupo and his servant bot Kunishiki (who live next door) and Sensei.

Gumi's Apartment: Gumi, Gakupo and Ryuuto's small apartment in a building not too far from Crypton HQ. Not the nicest apartment that ever was, but it's homey.

Gin no Hana: A old-fashioned restaurant that has reasonable business and is popular due to the comfy atmosphere. Managed by Ginsaki and his wife, Koharu.

The Old Soul Theater: An old theater in town that's mainly still in the city for the sake of preservation, but still has small plays and acts now and again. Has been turned into an acting school of sorts by Miriam Stocks, a theater connoisseur.

Ruko's candy shop: A hole-in-the-wall shop in an alleyway managed by Yokune Ruko, where they sell candy, snacks and cheap cups of drip coffee. Totally not shady in the slightest. Is almost constantly out of coffee-flavored hard candy because Ruko keeps eating it.

Meiko's apartment: Meiko's home, a simple apartment in a simple complex where she crashes after a long day at the lab. The CVs have never been to it.

There's probably more than this but yeah :>

* D O N O T R E B L O G * TEST POST / TO BE REPOSTED TO OTHER DIGIBLOG * LIKES / RESPECTFUL COMMENTS OK

I DID IT     /I FINALLY/     /HAVE A PRELIMINARY AMV OF THIS ONE ..... OMG

" Toumei Answer " ( can be read as "Transparent Answer", "Invisible Answer" .... )

- more Repeat-verse, THIS TIME IT'S VERY TRI ( MAINLY KOKUHAKU, MEIKO ) - a lot more aesthetics in general though ? - however there ARE some slightly spoilery scenes from Bokura no Mirai - if you know DAIGO spoiler or Kyousei's as well, Taichi spoiler, Meichi implied scenes pre-BNM ending etc you already know it - a bit of Meiko and Meicoomon's final scenes are in here too though ..... ;;; ( only small bits though ) (but yeah) - a VERY tiny bit of Kizuna trailer scenes are in here, too ( about 2~3 quick flash scenes or so ) [ more for aesthetics bUT ] - a tiny tiny bit of " To Sora " but it's less of Sora and more of . flowers . yes

- ok so this AMV - this one is my attempt at comparing and contrasting: -- Taichi, Koushiro, & Meiko in general; + Tri!Taichi, Tri!Koushiro; + themes surrounding their storylines/developments ? - as well as : Taishiro, vs Meichi, ( t b h I might be implying at least a few TaiKouMei polyship potentials ) - basically like a character comparisons/introspections video in attempts to point out Things I Am Intrigued By - in regards to their storylines, behaviors [ during Tri's plot especially ], and such and such - basically: tAICHI ..... KOUSHIRO AND MEIKO ARE ..... VERY VERY SIMILAR IN WAYS ACTUALLY ..........

technical notes:

- THERE ARE SOME GLITCHES I NOTICED THEM hopefully they will like - fix themselves when . I re-edit . and add subs . y e a h - ( WMM tends to fix itself upon re-saves, etc. ) - Windows Movie Maker aLSO Began The Crashing towards the middle - I had to split it up by the end of 1st choruses - and re-splice it all together - hence there are some frequently repeated moments ( the classroom scenes ) I will . REPLACE A COUPLE OF THOSE LATER but yeah - was using them as filler to parallel the original video too OTL - so any repeating scenes I might throw in a few more moments of Koushiro to replace them ; etc. later on - CURRENTLY THIS IS UNSUBBED HENCE THIS PLACEHOLDER POST - I PLAN TO ADD SUBS EVENTUALLY, BUT - I PROBABLY WILL NOT BE FINISHED UNTIL JUNE/MID-SUMMER

PLEASE SEE END NOTES FOR ORIGINATING SERIES WARNINGS, ETC.

LYRICS:

...It’s not even bustling , And in that kind of everyday ...

I would sit in my seat many times over as if ... DRIFTING... .

" SO , how about you ? "

As if TRYING AGAIN ,

... The NUMBERLESS TEXTBOOK   ... SAID something .. .

( aah ~ .... )

... If you mean my RESULTS, then , ... Well , I guess they’re   fine   .

... Getting a “ three-digit ‘ perfect ’ score ” on recycled paper.

In the seat beside me , ... With an embarrassed smile ,

... YOU took your seat with a “ low-digit score ” .

Outside the window , I don’t seek anything out .

Because   AN ANSWER   soon RISES UP ...

" ... If that’s the case , then hey , that’s   PRETTY  BORING "

Saying that , Y O U always SEEMED to be  ENJOYING YOURSELF ...

[ Chorus 1 ]

D O N ' T  T O U C H ,

... the   HEART that wants to DISAPPEAR   ANY MORE THAN THIS ,

Even today , it can’t be seen anywhere on this earth ...

The A L A R M that rings out:

TELLS ME     A L O N E ,

" You’re   A   ' COLD-HEARTED '   GUY , H U H "

Even if I put together those    MYSTERIOUS ANSWERS    after so long I’ll still be able to understand them completely somehow

" At this rate ,  EVEN IF   I   DIE ,

SOMEONE ELSE  w i l l  j u s t  REPLACE ME "

... Just whispering that ,

... is so     F O O L I S H . [ Verses 2 ]

Though these drifting days   REPEAT ,

... I get this STRANGE FEELING [ whenever ] YOU'RE   a b s e n t

... Well, whatever happens, the test that is returned tomorrow

... Will probably have a result that hasn’t changed for the better ,

( aah ~ ... )

In that kind of everyday that wasn’t even bustling,

... Somewhere, SOMETHING   may have

.. ALREADY GONE AMISS ...

THE COLOR  of   YOUR HAIR ,

And   your  S M I L E ,

... Someone may already be  U N A B L E  to  REMEMBER IT .

" From THE WINDOW , how is

That   EMPTY SEAT   r e f l e c t e d ? "

I thought I had  KNOWN YOU , B U T

I HAD UNDERSTOOD   /// NOT ONE THING ///   ABOUT YOU .

[ Chorus 2 ]

The days that would surely have continued

Had I been able to understand even a little more ,

Every time I  STOP THE ALARM  that  RINGS OUT , I realize

... That   THEY'RE GONE .....

[ Final Chorus ]

In the classroom, the HEART THAT WANTED

TO DISAPPEAR was INJURED

But kept on CONCEALING IT and LAUGHED ,

MANY TIMES OVER

YOU , who  LEFT FROM HERE  and  VANISHED ,

   ///   I  WON'T  FORGET   ///     YOUR      S M I L E ,

... NOT   even   T O M O R R O W .... ... .. .

slight but significant TRIGGER WARNINGS for the originating song: [ relevant MORE to K@gepro’s original and LESS to Repeatverse BUT ]:  - In K@gepros original version, the song is about a specific girl and boy duo only [ not KageDaze boy+girl, another duo ] ( in my version, I'm throwing in Koushiro as an extra + for . fun . ficverse things ) [ both Koushiro and Meiko are paralleling the girl ; Taichi the boy because Main Charas sIGH ] - since it's Kagepros, of course, there are the psuedo-deaths there too - with Kagepros however, STRONG TW: this song very heavily implies " s.uicide " of the girl of the duo - however in the end it's a LOT more like KAGEPROS SPOILER FOLLOWS: the psuedo-deaths self sacrifice because - the characters initially THINK she has died via those means and at a point she probably had - HOWEVER as the story develops she gets second chances and different outcomes/outlooks sO ..... YES

the original K@gerou Project video for timings, etc. comparisons is here.:

PLEASE note the warnings mentioned above if you watch.

Digimon Adventures / Tri ~ VARIOUS P R I D E Icons for character Meiko Mochizuki {Tri} + flag icon bases by @izzyizumi​ !

BONUS:

OP’s commentary: I don’t know which Adventures fans need to hear this (I DO) but a) Meiko Mochizuki Can Be ANY Of These Headcanons b) This fandom made me Appreciate Meiko c) Regarding the Taichi x Meiko (Meichi) pairing specifically:

from THIS interview: Digimon Adventure tri. Memorial Book — Lead writer Yuuko Kakihara interview translated by DigiLab (italics/bolding mine for emphasis)

–Taichi and Meiko also seemed to have formed a certain bond between them. Toei / Tri staffs’ Answer: To be honest, the relationship between those two was not something we particularly had in mind.

But since we had certain expectations of how the fans would react to a new character barging in, and since we were also thinking about what we know about Taichi and his friends in the future, we ended up putting Meiko in a position where she comes and leaves.

^ Literally, Toei / Tri writers are TELLING YOU THIS

d) Meichi as a ship is still fine. You can STILL ship it. It is very much valid - also as Toei seems to have blatantly implied “it’s fine to see it that way” - ALSO as it is a ship involving two P.O.C (Japanese), who DO NOT have the same rep in fandom as White characters’ ships e) You also don’t have to ship Meichi AND can have alternative headcanons - for both Taichi and Meiko

f) Q u e e r headcanons involving dishonesty (such as using these as means of pushing away a character for so-called “getting in the way of your ship”, OR invalidating other headcanons) are BAD. Please DON’T use them for this reason.

Meiko Mochizuki for the character asks? :)

It’s my first time thinking so much about Meiko and I realise there’s so much we still don’t know! Many of these were shots in the dark that can be debunked at any time… 

M: What is their favourite dessert?

Blueberry jelly. (Or anything Mimi comes up with, no matter how crazy.)

E: How are they with children?

Kind and well-intentioned, but also reluctant. Loud, ebullient children tend to make her more than a little nervous.

I: On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do they love themselves?

Depends of the circumstances. As of tri., probably 4.

K: How do you know when you’ve upset them?

She’ll get teary-eyed or run off crying. She isn’t very good at hiding her pain.

O: What would it take to break them, inside and out?

Something bad happening to Meicoomon… or because of Meicoomon.

C: Can they swim well?

Yes! She loves the outdoors and spent a lot of time on the beach when she lived in Tottori.

H: What is their deadly sin?

Sloth.

Z: How do they sleep?

As comfortably and snugly as possible, probably holding something fluffy. She’s a long sleeper and enjoys spending time in bed.

U: What’s their voice like?

Sweet and completely transparent when it comes to her emotional state. Her speech is peppered with expressions from Tottori.
