Soragumi Top Announcement

As I am a RATHER big fan of Serika Toa, here are a few fun stats to celebrate the extremely long-awaited announcement of her and (surprise!) Haruno Sakura's impending Soragumi takeover!

When Kiki becomes top star on June 12, she will have been a nibante (as wholly official a nibante as nibantes get) for 103 months. For reference, Tamaki Ryou became top star of Tsukigumi 100 months after her debut.

Kiki will be ken-17 at the start of her top stardom. Sou Kazuho was also ken-17, and Hokushou Kairi and Oozora Yuuhi were both ken-18.

Haruno Sakura has one total lead of any kind, shinko or small theater (it was the Never Say Goodbye shinko). The last musumeyaku to become top with only one total lead was Dan Rei (top debut in 1999 with one last minute shinko lead in 1998). Before that, we have to go back to the early 80s. Sugata Haruka (became top in '82), Wakaba Hiromi ('81), Kuroki Hitomi ('81), and Azuma Chiaki ('80) all did it with one lead. Kanna Miho ('85) and Haruka Kurara ('77) did it with none.

Her first named role in the Grand Theater was in High & Low; James Bond will be her second. It's difficult to confirm full cast lists from the 80s, but since the 90s at least, Dan Rei ties her for fewest. We love an underdog!

I have absolutely no way of proving that she is the first musumeyaku to be announced as the next top without first having a proper, performance-themed, on the Grand Theater wall head shot, but if someone is bored enough to dive deep into the internet archives, please let me know!

Frightful October ’21 🎃 #16 ~ Bookclub Psycho (Chiaki Ryou)

Genre: Fluff, Horror

Word Count: 3,304

Pairing: Reader x Chiaki

World: Water Polo Yankees / Suikyu Yankisu

Table of Contents

───── ⋆⋅🎃⋅⋆ ─────

When class finally came to an end, you started to pack up your belongings, humming softly to yourself. Chiaki approached your desk, leaning his palms on the surface before leaning down to peck your lips, bringing a smile to your face.

"Your book club is today, right?"

"Yup."

He nodded, pulling the chain from around his neck, unclasping it before placing it around your neck. He did this every single time the two of you went separate ways, claiming it would protect you in his absence. You doubted it had that power, but the thought warmed your heart. "Text me when you get there, okay? As soon as practice ends, me and Miyaguchi will come get you and we can grab some food."

"Sounds good." You stood up, putting your bag over your shoulder. "I love you, Ryou."

His smile was bright as he leaned in again, claiming your lips. This kiss lasted a bit longer than the first, his thumb brushing across your cheek. "I love you, too, Y/N. See you soon."

You followed him to the door where Miyaguchi was waiting and he offered you a little wave before the two boys headed down the hall to head to practice. You headed in the opposite direction, feeling excited for this month's book meeting because you loved murder mysteries and also Halloween and this month's book was a mixture of both. You had finished the book in just two days, a new record for you, and you had a lot to say about it.

You breathed in deeply when you stepped outside, enjoying the brisk chill of Autumn. The world around you was alive with shades of orange and brown, leaves dancing on the breeze before finally hitting the ground, crunching beneath feet. There was just something so peaceful about this time of year and you loved it.

It felt as if nothing could go wrong.

───── ⋆⋅🎃⋅⋆ ─────

The book club was held at the college campus' gymnasium. Folding chairs were arranged in a large circle for the meeting and a long table sat off to the side, filled with various snacks and drinks. There was also a cooler sitting on the ground filled with ice and drinks. Most of the group had arrived already and were chatting excitedly with one another.

You approached the snack table first, snatching up a few of Yukiko's Halloween cookies - pumpkin spice with white chocolate chips - and a bottle of ice-cold water to wash it down. Naomi glanced up from the group she was sitting with and excused herself when she saw you. Her smile was bright as she approached you.

"Hey, glad to see you again." Naomi was a second year in university so she was often busy and, despite being friends with her, you really only saw her during these meetings.

You returned the smile, quickly chewing your cookie before answering. "Good to see you, too." Your eyes scanned the room, taking in the familiar faces and the new. "There seem to be more people than last month."

She nodded, moving closer to you as she started to motion toward the new people. "You see that boy with the white hair? He just moved here a week ago, name's Akito. Pretty cute, right? Sadly, he's got a girlfriend already. And that girl there with the pigtails is Yumi. She's pretty shy but really sweet. She's also a high schooler but she goes to Suiran. Oh oh, and that guy there, he wouldn't give me his real name, he just asked me to call him Ryuu. He's quite mysterious, doesn't offer much information about himself and keeps his sentences short. He's so gorgeous though, don't you think?"

Your eyes followed her finger as she pointed out each person and when she got to Ryuu, you couldn't help but stare. There was something... off about him. Maybe it was the black suit he wore, the jacket replaced by leather the same color. His hair was also black and shiny, the left side long enough that it completely covered half of his face. He sat alone, his chair pushed back so he was just outside the circle, one leg crossed over the other as his dark eyes observed the others. And then they snapped to you as if he could sense you staring at him. An uncomfortable feeling overcame you and you quickly tore your gaze away, focusing on old Yukiko-san as she gave her cookie recipe to Jane, a half-Japanese housewife, and mother of three.

"Ooo, he's looking at you!" Naomi teased, nudging you gently in the ribs. "Too bad you're taken. Break it to him gently." She paused for a moment before grinning. "Or don't. Maybe I can score points by comforting him!"

You chuckled at her antics, secretly hoping that he didn't approach you. You could still feel his eyes on you and it was making you feel uneasy.

Kuro-san clapped his hands to gather everyone's attention, waiting a moment for the chatter to die out before he spoke, a smile on his face. "Welcome everyone, old and new, to the Kaishin University book club! Last month, we assigned this book to read." He held up the small paperback book featuring a bloody Jack-o-Lantern and the words 'Jack-o-Killer' in bold above it. "I hope everyone was able to finish on time because it's time to discuss! For those who have just joined, feel free to skip this part if you don't want spoilers." He waited a moment but no one moved. "Perfect. If you'll all grab a seat, we can get started."

The group started to converge on the chairs, each person taking a seat. You and Naomi ended up sitting directly across from Ryuu, who was still staring at you. You tried to ignore it, but you were growing increasingly uncomfortable.

"Now, who wants to begin?" Kuro-san smiled, looking around the group.

───── ⋆⋅🎃⋅⋆ ─────

The meeting ended an hour and a half later. Most of the group had left already, leaving behind only a few people who were finishing up their conversation or their snacks. Kuro-san was cleaning up, folding the chairs, and carrying them to the other side of the gym where the stage sat. His brow furrowed in pain and a soft grunt passed his lips every time he lifted one up. You knew he had a bad back so you hugged Naomi goodbye before heading over to him.

"If you'd like, I can finish cleaning up for you, Kuro-san."

"You're always too kind to me, Y/N-chan," he smiled gratefully at you. "I'll make sure to bring you something nice to snack on next month."

You brightened up. "Some chocolate chip cookies from your wife? She always makes them so soft and gooey."

"I'll let her know," he chuckled, patting your arm. "Just fold the chairs and set them against the stage. The table needs to be folded and put in in that side closet over there."

"Understood. Get home safe."

"You, too."

Kuro-san grabbed the cooler from the table before leaving the gymnasium with the rest of the group. You finished putting the chairs away first since that was the easiest job and then you moved on to the table. The rest of the snacks had been taken home by whoever had brought them, leaving behind paper plates, crumbs, and plastic wrap. You grabbed as much as you could, throwing them into the large bin before you took off the plastic tablecloth, carefully folding it and setting it aside so you could fold the table. There were brackets on the bottom that held it open and you had to fidget with the button to try and release the bracket but it still didn't budge.

"Need a hand?"

You cried out in surprise, bumping your head on the underside of the table. Your hand held your head as you stood up, feeling your skull throb from the impact. Standing directly behind you and uncomfortably close was Ryuu, a cocky smirk on his lips and his hands shoved into the pockets of his jacket.

"Didn't mean to scare you."

You forced a smile, wishing he would step back to give you some room to breathe. "Oh, um, it's okay. Thank you for the offer, but I've got it."

"You don't seem to have it," he commented. His tone annoyed you.

"It's not my first time cleaning up, I can handle it."

"Okay." But he didn't make a move to step away from you.

You wanted to tell him to go home but you didn't want to be rude, especially since he was now part of the book club. You had never liked confrontation which is why Ryou was such a good match for you - he never hesitated to stick up for you when you couldn't bring yourself to do it. Thinking of him made you feel safe and you glanced at the clock on the wall. His practice should be ending soon and he'll be on his way to you. If Ryuu is still here, your boyfriend won't hesitate to tell him off. On instinct, your hand came up to cup the pendant on the chain.

Ryuu noticed this, his eyes flicking to the necklace before back to your face. "Are you going home alone? Let me take you. It's not safe to be out alone at night, especially during this time of year."

Why did that sound so threatening to you? Clearing your throat, you started to edge along the table to get away from him but he matched your steps easily with his long legs. "I've lived here my whole life, I know my way around just fine."

"Even so," he hummed, slapping his hands onto the table on either side of you, boxing you in. "No one can prepare when someone is intent on hurting them."

You glared at him, trying to hide your fear but you knew it was showing on your face as clear as day. "You're invading my space, please step back."

"What are you going to do if I say no?" He quirked a brow and, with the flick of his wrist, he produced a switchblade from his sleeve, the blade glinting under the bright lights of the gym. "No one can prepare when someone appears before them brandishing a blade. Some human beings experience fight or flight and in my experience, they usually run rather than take their chances. However..." he lifted the blade, gently running it across your cheek. The metal was cold against your skin and you held back a shiver. "Most people experience something else - they completely freeze up. These are my favorite victims. They make it so easy! So, let me ask you, Y/N." He leaned toward your ear, his hot breath fanning across your skin. "Which one are you?"

───── ⋆⋅🎃⋅⋆ ─────

Chiaki scowled over his shoulder at his best friend, waiting at the top of the hill for him to catch up. "Will you hurry up, Miyaguchi? We're already late!"

Miyaguchi huffed, regretting how hard he had practiced because his legs were like jelly. "I'm doing my best!"

As soon as he reached the top of the hill, Chiaki took off again, half jogging the rest of the way down the street to the gymnasium. The doors were closed, the lights off, and you were nowhere in sight. He pulled out his phone and called you, listening for the chime of your phone that would lead him to you but the night remained silent, the full moon shining overhead. The phone continued to ring and ring until it eventually went to voicemail, prompting a frown from him. Not answering his calls wasn't like you at all, especially when you knew he was coming to pick you up. After trying the call again and getting the same result, he approached the door and gave it a tug sideways. It wasn't locked so it slid open easily, revealing the pitch-black room.

"Y/N?" he called out, his voice echoing. "You here?"

Silence answered him.

Miyaguchi peered around the doorway with a frown, feeling a bit scared by just how dark it was inside. "You told them we were coming, right?"

"Of course, I did," he muttered, feeling worry tugging at his heart. Where were you? Did you get tired of waiting and went home with one of your club members? That seemed like the likely option but he couldn't shake this feeling that something was wrong. "Miyaguchi, can you walk around and see if you can find anyone?"

"Yeah, sure." Miyaguchi was happy to get away from the scary gymnasium and would gladly take the chilly wind over the seemingly endless darkness inside.

Chiaki on the other hand wasn't the least bit bothered by the darkness if it meant he could find you. He flicked the flashlight on and stepped inside, sweeping the light from one side of the gym to the other. He saw the folded chairs neatly resting against the side of the stage and the snack table sitting a few feet away. And then he noticed your phone beneath the table. He had almost missed it but the light reflected off it just as he started to turn. He knew it was yours before he even picked it up and his fist clenched around the object tighter than he meant to.

"Y/N!" he yelled out, his voice echoing off the high ceiling. "Where are you, baby?"

───── ⋆⋅🎃⋅⋆ ─────

You moved slowly, trying to wiggle your hands free of the thin yellow ropes that bound your wrists behind you. A piece of duct tape was placed over your mouth to muffle your sounds. Ryuu stood in front of the door, peering through the tiny crack he had made as Chiaki swept through the gym. Despite the darkness of the room, you could see the glint of the blade whenever the flashlight swept across the door. You were terrified that your boyfriend was going to open the door and get a knife to the gut. Ryuu certainly wasn't against using it - he had proved that when he sliced into your cheek and carved an R into the skin beneath your jaw. You were honestly terrified and just wanted to see your boyfriend's face one last time because you were sure you were going to die. At the very least, you would die so he could live.

You felt the rope give way, loosening up around your wrists and you paused, waiting to see if he had noticed but he didn't move. Whatever you planned to do, you needed to do it before he could hurt your boyfriend. You heard his steps getting closer as he called out your name, the light steady on the door. Surely he must see it cracked open and see the eye peering out, right? Time seemed to slow. His footsteps were so loud to you, easily overpowering the sound of your heart pounding in your ears. You glanced around, trying to find something you could use as a weapon but this storage closet was frustratingly bare, at least of anything that might do any damage to him.

"Y/N? Are you here? Baby, this isn't funny!" He stopped outside the door, reaching for the handle as Ryuu clenched the blade tighter, prepared to strike.

"Chiaki!" Miyaguchi came running into the gym with Naomi close behind, both of them breathing heavily from the run.

He paused, turning away from the door. "What, did you find her? Who's this?"

Naomi had gotten the gist of what was happening so she skipped the pleasantries and just told them her name. "Is Y/N really missing?"

"We can't find her," Chiaki frowned, gripping his phone tighter. "When did you see her last?"

Naomi's brow furrowed. "We were talking and then she saw Kuro-san struggling to put the chairs away. He was in an accident last year and has a bad back and she usually offers to help him. Most everyone had gone home by then..."

"Please think harder," Miyaguchi pleaded. "Did anyone stand out to you? Did you see anyone when you left?"

She was quiet for a moment before her eyes widened. "I was the last to leave, but... Ryuu's motorcycle was still in the parking lot. He doesn't live on campus."

Ryuu started to back away from the door, his jaw clenched. This is not how this was supposed to go! He hated it when things didn't go his way. He turned around to look at you and you decided it was time to act. With a battle cry, you lowered your body and rushed at him, your shoulder colliding with his lower ribs. The force sent both of you tumbling through the door and hitting the ground hard. Though winded, Ryuu was seeing red. The two of you fought for dominance but he won easily, slamming your back against the ground and raising the blade above you, aiming for your chest.

Naomi, Miyaguchi, and Chiaki were frozen in shock, staring at the scene as they tried to process what they were seeing.

Naomi was the first to react, releasing a loud gasp. "Ryuu!"

Chiaki rushed forward, anger flashing through his eyes. "Get your hands off of my fiancé!" His foot came into contact with the blade, sending it flying across the floor but Ryuu wasn't weak by no means. He jumped up and punched Chiaki in the stomach, causing the teen to clench his teeth in pain, but no way in hell was he going to let this psychopath get away with hurting you. They continued to exchange blows with neither showing any sign of backing down.

"Y/N, are you okay?" Miyaguchi fell to his knees beside you, his eyes wide as he looked at the wounds on your face and neck, still oozing blood but beginning to crust over.

But you couldn't focus on him and his concern. You forced yourself to your feet despite his insistence that you rest and you used the last of your strength to throw yourself at Ryuu, grabbing onto whatever you could to try and bring him down to the ground. He had been so focused on Chiaki that he had forgotten all about you and wasn't able to catch his balance when you grabbed him, sending both of you to the floor. Adrenaline coursed through your veins, mingling with anger as everything crashed down on you at once. You didn't even register the fact that you were punching him until arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you off of him. Your knuckles hurt and were bloody, just like his face. He lay on the ground unmoving, his nose broken and eye bruised.

"Baby, calm down," Chiaki said in your ear, his voice calming but it shook a little because of his nerves. "It's okay. You're okay."

You collapsed into his arms, your shoulders shaking as you held back tears, clinging to him as if he were your lifeline. "I thought... you were going to d-die," you sobbed, words muffled by his tank top.

He held you protectively, one hand resting on the back of your head as he shushed you. "I'm not going anywhere, Y/N. I'm right here, alive and well. I will never leave you."

You slowly lifted your head so you could look into his eyes, full of love and warmth for you. "Ryou..."

"Yes, love," he replied softly, bringing his hand to your cheek.

"Earlier, you... you called me your f-fiancé..."

A grin split across his lips and he nodded. "You've been my fiancé since the day we met. I knew immediately that I would spend the rest of my life here with you."

A fresh round of tears blurred your vision and you buried your face in his chest.

Megami-Ryou No Ryoubo-Kun TV Anime Visual & Promotional Video Revealed

Judging Magia Record’s Outfits [Part 10]

The last part. The 3 rules.

Riko Chiaki

If they really want to keep this length then they just need to take away the blue ribbon surrounding it, but personally I’d just cut it to her skirt lenght. That’s really all I have to say on the matter, this girl has her look and I respect it.

Ryou Midori

Hey, isn’t this Akita Neru from vocaloid? No? She’s meant to be a photographer? So I guess she’s going for buisness casual and the stripes on her socks and gloves are an abstract representation of the discs that make up the lenses, then?

This girl is kind of a catch-22, her main theme doesn’t really have an aestethic, so her designer went with a somewhat tangentally related look, but as we all know, most people don’t let magical girls just have an aestethic without feeling the need to add some bullshit clothepiece or accesory to justify them being magical girls, so this is what he came up with. 

By now you should be aware of how impartial I am to assymetrical socks, bet even I don’t think they look good on this, although a big part of it is the leaf cut on them. But worse than the socks is the arm gloves, they make the fingerless gloves redundant and the sleeve-less shirt cuffs even more stupid. And they also have belts for whatever reason. And of course, we can’t forget the stupid decision of having her top opened up up to presumably the middle of her chest. Why is that such a consistent problem with this game...

Midriff Count: 15

Characters ruined by the Male Gaze: 16

Ikumi Makino

This outfit looks good at first sight but then you stare at it for a while and you realize that it’s weirdly constructed. The apron is not an apron, it’s part of the underdress and the ribbon behind is connected to nothing. The corset and the black collar may be linked together, but the “apron” sleeves divide them from the black sleeves, so does that mean that those are loose? The fact that I need to debate this like that post about Gwen’s shirt from Total Drama inmediately makes this outfit loose points. Aside from that, a more real complain would be the white undersleeves, those are just excess.

Touka Satomi

Ok, see, this girl is technically excessive in the sense that her skirt is too heavy to fight in, but she’s also too clean and balanced for me to complain about it. This is the kind of excess over functionality I can accept because nothing is interfereing or distracting and it makes sense for the look they’re going for.

Nemu Hiiragi

Interesting aestethic and color choices, but it it could be better. I don’t see why her dress should show her collarbone and arms, or why the gloves should end in leaves. Her belt also seems to end in those ribbons, but that’s pretty pointless if the cape is covering them.

High School Star Musical Season 3 New Characters

[kaiwithastar]

I have SO MANY FEELINGS about the HoneyWorks FLYING SONGS: Koishieru album oh my god you don't UNDERSTAND

Toshi no Sa Nante especially made me so fucking emotional holy shit THEY FINALLY LET KOYUKI OUT OF THE BASEMENT AFTER LIKE 8 WHOLE YEARS??? Realising we'd had almost NO Koyuki content (other than like.. Kore Seishun Understand and that one scene in Tokyo Winter Session) in 8 years and then getting this made me extra emotional I think - especially with how we FINALLY get to hear about how he first met Ryou and started falling for her and everything AND UGH MY HEART IS SO FULL I JUST WANTED MY SON TO BE HAPPY AND NOW HE'S FINALLY MET SOMEONE WHO'S GONNA LOVE HIM AND I'M JUST FEELING A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT THIS KJFHKDS also just the vibes of the entire song are just immaculate I have been listening to it on repeat for the past hour

AND THEN WE HAVE Cosplay Shitai no! which is Ryou's second character song that we FINALLY got after like 4??? years??? of haniwa keeping her in the basement???? Y'all don't understand how much I love Ryou okay haniwa introduces us to this cool af girl who appears out of nowhere, she's like the sporty prince-type but has a fucking cute af song (Renai Joujyuu) cus she just wants to be a cute girl and fall in love and all that jazz BUT THEN OTHER THAN THAT WE GOT NOTHING like I was pretty disappointed with how they didn't give Renai Joujyuu a proper MV BUT NOW WE HAVE THIS AND IT'S ANOTHER SUPER CUTE SONG AND IT'S SO FUN AND I REALLY HOPE THEY GIVE THIS AN MV CUS I LOVE RYOU AND I LOVE THAT RYOU LOVES KOYUKI AND I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY TOGETHER

ALSO CAN I JUST ADD- THE FACT THAT IN TOSHI NO SA NANTE KOYUKI REFERS TO RYOU AS 可愛い人 (kawaii hito = cute person) MAKES ME FEEL SO SKDJFHSKDJFHSKDL like right right from the beginning of the song Koyuki's like talking about how he wants to help her stop hiding her true self and how he's the only one who knows she's cuter than anyone else and like Ryou's whole thing is that she wants to be cute, she wants people to think of her as 可愛 (kawaii = cute) instead of かっこいい (kakkoi = cool) AND KOYUKI DOES EXACTLY THAT HE SEES HER AS CUTE AND JUST THESE TWO ARE MADE FOR EACH OTHER MAN

Heroine wa Heikin Ika is SO MUCH FUN HOLY SHIT like I love Hiyori and her other songs but I think this one has got to be my favourite it's such a vibe holy shit

And of course I have to talk about ONE NIGHT because FT4 songs are ALWAYS bangers and this one did not disappoint omg I love it sm I hope we get a seiyuu version soon cus I NEED IT

BUT CAN WE ALSO TALK ABOUT WHIPPED CREAM NO SHOUMIKIGEN??? CUS HOLY SHIT THE VIBES it's so different to all the other songs on the album AND it's super different to all the other mona songs they've released so far - it gives me big like.. old-school retro anime vibes?? Like you could tell me this song came from macross and I would believe you, like those are the vibes and I am living for it I love it so much

The last one I wanted to specifically talk about is Moto Seito because holy shit??? Akechi???? With a romance song???? I WAS CAUGHT SO OFF GUARD I'M STILL TRYING TO ACCEPT THAT THIS MAN IS CAPABLE OF HAVING THESE FEELINGS FOR SOMEONE WHO ISN'T CHIAKI???? No once can convince me that Akechi and Chiaki weren't dating cus they absolutely 100% were (like did you see him in Senkou Hanabi?? Those were the expressions of a man in love). And like I always assumed the reason he stayed unmarried and single all these years was because he was still devoted to Chiaki BUT I GUESS HE ALSO HAS SOMEONE HE'S INTO NOW???? IDK WHY I'M STRUGGLING TO ACCEPT THIS SO MUCH like of course it's good that he's moving on and stuff but I was not emotionally prepared for that LMAO but anyway I guess instead of being gay and demi HoneyWorks has decided Akechi is bi and demi (I am convinced he is demi either way, I mean just look at his relationship history) which is cool, and now I'm just super curious about this ex-student of his who's 5 years younger than him that he's into I have no clue who it could be tbh

tl;dr HoneyWorks makes me feel many feelings and I love all the characters so much
