I forgot to share these Häärijä BD art here😝
Hyvää Syntymäpäivää Häärijä💛
Käykööt kaikki toiveesi toteen!
August is the summer festival (Natsu Matsuri) season in Japan.
The movement that Häärijä often dances to is similar to the Japanese Bon dance(dance held during this season), so I drew the image of a Japanese summer festival.
This costume is called Jinbei, which is one of the traditional Japanese kimono which is often worn during summer festivals🌞

KOKIA in flashback - 2021
Unfortunately, the year of 2021 is not quite what any of us had probably hoped it would be. KOKIA's activities dwindle down to very sparse opportunities to perform, and so she seeks new ways to reach her fans as yet. Last year's 1 to 1 Live for you livestreams were all free to watch, with the occasional chance to pay optional tickets, but this year, she also hosts streams that are only accessible for a paying audience. These recorded concerts are recorded in big venues in Blu-ray quality to justify the price, and later get a Blu-ray release for those who missed out.
Since August last year, KOKIA has been spending more and more time in London, eventually mostly returning to Japan for business. She still manages to release a new album this year: Kono sekai no katasumi de ('In this corner of the world'), the second entry in her Stars mini-album series. Unfortunately, one of the songs has a sad note to it: she dedicates one to Titti, her dog who sadly passes away this year.
On the other hand, this album is also proof of how many people around the world KOKIA has touched over the years: she requests for her fans to send in a recording of them saying Hello in their native language, and she gets so many replies in just one week that she worries if she can even use them all. The song Hello World ends up collecting as many as she could!

mirapa radio koukai rokuon (i did writeups of these as i watched up until the live part but im removing the segments that didn't make it in and including tangents that were edited out [which will be in italics] so this is mostly my original writeup with minor edits. ill also highlight ideas they had used that had come from suggestions)
day 1 with ceribou
konakona
(present!)mirapa introduce the recording starting from ceribou's entrance
(recording!)mirapa do a little dance to on your mark [wow very opening live vibes] before the camera zooms in on konachi. she poses with her sign and says ON AIR~ and then continues dancing with it a little more in silence
they get the audience to call cerise bouquet out to join them but nonsuke and uisama from the wings are like "hm? did you hear something?"
konachi says people were louder for karaage [*from the earlier audience polls] and gets everyone to shout again and this time cerise bouquet hear, arriving to aoku haruka (nonsuke makes sure to do the door opening noise lol)
cerise bouquet greet the audience and konachi holds the sign in front of uisama who taps her on the head
by the way, they're all wearing the public recording tshirts mirapa designed (konachi)
cerise bouquet do mirapa's catchphrase and run to the other end of the stage (mirapa following behind them complaining they didn't even do it themselves and konachi holding up her sign) before kankan asks "cerise park" (lol) to introduce themselves
nonsuke does a reverse gyaru peace sign like ruri (of course everyone calls her cute) before apologising because its hiichan first lol
uisama does a reverse gyaru peace sign after introducing herself too so nonsuke does that bent at the waist pose hime does and hiichan combines both
they talk about how its the first years' first event and rinchan says hina's really nervous so nonsuke does a FLOWER~ c&r to make everyone smile. uisama starts giggling and covering her face over her cute she was and nonsuke says recently uisan's been all over rinchan so its been a while since she's had that response!
kankan invites ceribou to do audience polls too. uisama, getting her own binoculars out, asks who's wearing glasses, and then asks who's in a specific seat number. she sat in that one earlier, congratulations! (she also continues searching for people with glasses with her binoculars)
hiichan asks whos been to her hometown and the setting of hasunosora, kanazawa! (most people) she asks everyone to shout out the places they visited and after an incomprehensible moment she goes "i love that place its great!" lol
uisama lowkey asks if anyone brought a hyakuman-san (still looking through her binoculars) and nonsuke asks who has a plant kanji in their name (as in NIREi/HANAmiya/SAKURAi)
they finally take their seats and show off the nameplates they made (letter)
rinchan's has hime's hair, lollipops, a cat, WASD keys, a :3 mouth, and a mini hime doodle
konachi's has harino-chan, a guitar with tiny angel wings, and kozue's drawing of megumi (nonsuke tells everyone to stop laughing at it lol. konachi says the guitar was by rinchan and gets everyone to say who drew megumi in unison ("uisama~")
uisama clarifies konachi Asked her to draw it so she did. uisama's nameplate has two of kozue's drawings of herself
konachi brings out a 7x7 bingo board (the centre square #25 has the hasunosora jogakuin logo) and uisama brings out the wheel for gohou-bingo (uisama) and rinchan explains every time they get a point theyll spin the wheel to uncover a square. this was uichan's suggestion!
they get to reveal the centre square immediately which turns out to be 女 and so immediately guess its something like "congratulations on working so hard for hasunosora jogakuin school idol club mirakura radio natsu no daihoshuu matsuri koukai rokuon days 1 and 2 heres some snacks"
the first segment is a talk session with ceribou aka TOUSHO BAKO
the first letter is about the casual speech rule and konachi is like "because casual speech is the best isnt it? and rinchan talks about how hard it is for her because she likes polite speech. kankan starts laughing so konachi and rinchan start copying her HA. HA. HAs
the next letter asks them to say thank you in kanazawa-ben. hiichan explains the nuances of it and how it should be spoken from the heart and when staff tells her to be the handycam operator her face lights up wwww
hiichan tells them to do a cute pose while saying it and uisama giggles [i think shes proud of her]
rinchan stresses over the pose and kankan's like "youre kurusu-san you have loads" and rinchan's like "shut up >:(" and ends up putting both her arms in front of her kind of like megumi's original art from 103
kankan does a peace sign over one eye, konachi does half a hand heart on her cheek, uisama looks panicked and ends up tugging on her hair as she says it, and nonsuke does a finger heart on her cheek
konachi takes the handycam off hiichan so the native can do it and kankan tells her to hold it up high ww
rinchan says hiichan looks like shes blushing and hiichan says "please be quiet over there kurusu-san" lol
hiichan does half a hand heart on her cheek before holding her hands out so the camera cant see her face
the next letter asks what songs they'd like to do from the other unit. hiichan says she wants to see nonchan and uichan (nonsuke protests hiichan should be doing it too) do hakuchuu à la mode which they all understand. hiichan just says its a cute song with cute lyrics and cute outfits and she wants to watch them do it right in front of her!
nonsuke says well Nirei wants the two shy people on either side of her to do hakuchuu à la mode too, and then uisama says She wants the other two to do it, since she isnt cute
nonsuke says she wants the other two (rinchan interjects to ask why they arent choosing one to do as three lmao) to do tensai nano kamo shirenai
konachi says she wants mirapa to do zanyou lol mirapa are very enthusiastic but nonsuke says they arent allowed and apparently the audience all said ❌ too lol
nonsuke says they should ask permission but uisama doesn't really want to grant it. rinchan says she really wants to do it so then uisama says she'll allow it if she can join in lmao
uisama says she'll think of the choreography :) so rinchan doesnt want to do it anymore lol
konachi says *in terms of songs* she wants to do sugao no pixel and holiday∞holiday. she likes sugao no pixel's dance. kankan likes tsukuyomi kurage (konachi doesnt think she could do the dance but kankan insists she could! so konachi says nassu-chan could teach her and nonsuke says it should be uisan!)
they talk about how aoku haruka somehow became a four member song when kokona joined in so it could be a five member song if kankan did too
they receive a point at the end of the segment so uisama goes to spin the bingo wheel. "N/33" comes out and she gets preoccupied with the N ("n as in nina") so kankan has to tell her to just go reveal #33 already! (she calls it as イ from their earlier prediction and shes right)
on your mark break. uisama looks through her binoculars again but the camera lands on her so she just takes the binoculars away from her face and says "what is it?"
the next corner, as said in the last episode and inspired by nonsuke herself, is the shoutoku taishi game (staff). while konachi reads out the rules uisama draws a heart in the air for someone (shes constantly doing fansa). the losing unit has to say "i love you" (letter) into the camera which hiichan looks worried about but uisama seems to be looking forward to it lol
hiichan says she does want to win, but she also wants to see nonchan and uichan... (the other two definitely want to win though lol)
rinchan and konachi want to see kanchan do it~ (she yells at them to be quiet. they put the confession championship in the bin!)
the first round is rinchan vs hiichan. the others decide to shout at kanchan level of intensity but rinchan says she could only hear mirapa www
they ask them to do it again and they still cant hear anything. konachi polls the audience and when nobody says they could hear all four of them she just goes "nice. its impossible"
rinchan and hiichan write down what they think they could hear in their sketchbooks. kankan says she'll give them hints with her facial expression and then makes various pained faces
rinchan and hiichan both write lots of foods (konachi asks if they're hungry), but neither get a single one right
kankan announces next up is konachi vs uisama but messes up "hanamiya nina" so bad uisama asks if she forgot her name (the camera stays on kankan laughing at herself for a while)
nonsuke scolds uisama for bringing her binoculars up to the front so she can continue looking for people with glasses. she spots someone with kozue's hair accessory too
the others decide to go uisama level of intensity/whisper but they cant hear anything either and also get a second try
hiichan gives a face hint and is happy when nonsuke understands it. nonsuke does one too even though she says hers cant be conveyed through her face [i understood it! bc i could hear her]
konachi and uisama continue writing after time runs out, and then kankan messes up saying konachi's name as well
they laugh at how uisama's answers look like a story ("ring doughnuts, love, cavity, mouth ulcer"; she took the last two from hiichan's face hint where she moved her mouth around). uisama gets none right and konachi gets one
last is of course kankan vs nonsuke and everyone laughs at the way they run up to the front
they struggle too and ask for a second, and then a third, slower try. kankan says she could hear kurusu and nonsuke says she could hear hii, which has uisama and konachi feeling left out lol
kankan only gets rinchan, and nonsuke only gets hiichan. nonsuke also wants half a mark for a half right answer, but in that case kankan would get half a mark too, so they tie, leaving it 1-0 to mirapa!
mirapa gloat about their victory (konachi gets her binoculars out to watch) as ceribou sinks into their seats (uisama has almost retreated under the table)
konachi is given the handycam and they get the audience to shout out requests. (kankan does her HA. HA. laugh and gets copied again) hiichan says shes glad she gets to watch lmao
nonsuke has her hands over her heart after uisama's clingy(?) "i love you." konachi zooms in on nonsuke's kaho bunny hair clips so they get her to say "i love you, pyon!" (hiichan really enjoyed it)
hiichan's is between kanazawa-ben and tsundere, so rinchan suggests doing kanazawa-ben and saying "but i dont mean it!" afterwards while pushing the camera away, which everyone likes the sound of
they get another point for the corner, so nonsuke and hiichan spin the wheel together. hiichan doesnt understand why both of them had to go so nonsuke decided she'll spin the wheel, hiichan will uncover the square
they get #26, which they all already worked out is 学
the recording ends here but the intermission between the talk and live parts was a song intro quiz (rinchan) made by mirapa (letter)
(present!)mirapa talk about how they love how episode 5 ended and how cool the idolised proof cards are, especially tsuzuri's
konachi says she wants the film strips to be given out at fes×lives (support screenings i assume)
kankan says she really likes rurino's half up hairstyle in her BR ("so mature, ruri-tan...") and rinchan says she likes ruri in black. konachi says she's always either cool or cute but this time she's both
app pay skit 8!!!!!!!! (/9)
day 2 with dollche
konakona
[i have no idea what happened at the start they were all silent and then suddenly kankan started screaming]
present!mirapa introduce the recording from dollche's entrances and kankan keeps telling the others to leave her alone while she's reading so i imagine they were poking her or something lol
[this is before dollche but im keeping it in] kankan asks for girls in the audience and is shocked at how many there are [not actually that many but a good amount for love live] and konachi says girls love dollche! she walks around a bit squealing and waving at cute girls and kankan tells everyone that tsuzuri-senpai (*kocchan) loves cute voices so please do let their cute voices out
she asks for men in the audience too for balance and mirapa are like "ok i see" lmao
konachi picks the ON AIR sign back up for the START and subsequent on your mark dance break. the camera lands on kankan who poses and says softly "do you know how to say 'ichi ni tsuite' in english?" [*"on your mark"]
they get the audience to call dollchestra out but dollche offstage think everyone was pretty quiet... (konachi disagrees though lol) mirapa gets everyone to shout again and this time dollche appear to ladybug, with fuuchan holding her own (smaller) ON AIR sign
dollche introduce themselves (fuuchan hands her sign to nassu, then kocchan puts it on their table) and kocchan messes up "hasunosora no koto sukisuki club no minasan" so she says the "i bit my tongue" tsuzuri and the others have been into lately. kocchan muses cute voices are really nice~ so when everyone falsettos again she (unconvincingly) calls them cute
its fuuchan's first talk event and she waves excitedly at the crowd
for dollche's audience polls fuuchan asks who's sitting in a specific row, as that was where she sat yesterday, and konachi points out the seats kocchan and nassu sat in rehearsals (kocchan makes half a hand heart on her cheek for the girl in that seat)
nassu asks who loves dollchestra (konachi says of course they all do) and kocchan asks who ate butamen this week (she did, of course)
they all take their seats and mirapa explain the format of this public recording. konachi brings out the gohou-bingo board out to nonfiction hero show and someone in the audience makes kankan and rinchan laugh by making an explosion noise in the right place
kankan asks dollche what they think the board says and of course fuuchan and nassu can tell the middle is "hasunosora jogakuin school idol club" lol
kocchan and konachi start messing with the corners of some squares so nassu has to scold the senpai
this time they begin with a year group "bowling" competition (nassu) but after explaining the rules they get sidetracked by kocchan pointing out kanchan's makeup today but then says maybe rinchan behind her is even cuter? kankan moves in front of her and kocchan complains shes blocking her view of rinchan in her binoculars
konachi explains kankan moves too much while shes getting her makeup put on but kankan says its because the other two keep making her! (they shove her from both sides to demonstrate)
the first round the third years have to decide if the others are A) good or B) bad with mornings. they move themselves and nassu to B immediately (konachi explaining kokona is bad but she works hard to get up properly!). kurusu-san and kankan are also in B, fuuchan is by herself in A
they get everyone right so they "bowled" a strike and win five points!
next is the second years. nassu does eenie meenie minie mo to choose the question, which turns out to be who would rather be called A) cute or B) funny
kankan has to check what she put to remember she's B, and is shocked that nassu said she answered A (she insists she has a reason and jumps up and down when konachi laughs. cute~). [i typed that nassu was cute just Before konachi got everyone to call her cute]
they put fuuchan in B but puzzle over kocchan. nassu calls her both to little effect so they seem to just arbitrarily put her in B. they ask the audience for rinchan, who tell them A, so nassu calls her cute and she starts smiling. theyre stuck on konachi too, so get the audience to vote via applause, and nassu ends up putting her in A so she and rinchan wont be alone (rinchan gets mad since nassu's been teasing her lately)
they only get themselves and fuuchan right and fuuchan complains it makes her feel awkward (kocchan calls her an easy to understand girl~) though the second years say she did say it in sehasu!
they have to comfort kocchan when she starts fake crying because kankan was "bullying" her trying to justify her choice lol
nassu explains the reason she put A is because she doesnt think she can get any funnier and fuuchan says she chose B because shes from osaka lol (they all call her cute and she gets embarrassed)
nassu points out the second years have probably lost this, to which kanchan says theres no punishment game or anything so theyre fine. nassu complains they still have pride but kankan says that doesnt matter lol
konachi tries to petition for there to be a punishment game which has kankan throwing a tantrum
the cute first years question is who is A) a boke or B) a tsukkomi. konachi laughs as they read it out and rinchan puts a certain pink name in A... (loud protests from that pink person)
the first years put themselves in B but struggle with kotoko-chan. nassu says she can be both so kocchan dubs herself Almighty. rinchan quickly decides on A for nassu-chan (astounding her) so she's persuaded to put her in B as these are based on their own individual opinions
konachi avoids involving herself in their discussion of her by using the binoculars and they eventually decide on A. they ask for audience help for kocchan and surprisingly nobody claps for boke, so kankan brings up kocchan's iconic "OMAERA!" sehasu tsukkomi moment
the first years get everyone right besides nassu lmao. she was a boke after all
kankan points out rinchan put tsukkomi for herself which has everyone vocally disagreeing with her self assessment lmao
mirapa end up going "huh?" "huh?" "huh?" to each other [which honestly proves the point that theyre boke4boke4boke]
the third years win and the second years lose but its not like theres a punishment game or anything
kocchan goes up to spin the wheel again and gets #13, revealing a 2, which could either mean "two days" or the date of a day ending with 2, and they dont know what it could mean
on your mark break and the camera lands on kocchan who puts one fist in the air and says "hasunosora is the strongest!" (though mirapa were kind of expecting another "omaera"...)
the next corner is a cast vs audience acchi muite hoi competition. konachi wanted to do this!
all three members of a unit plays both sides of acchi muite hoi with the audience, with losing audience members sitting back down. if there are audience members still standing after 3x2 rounds, the audience wins. otherwise, the cast wins
konachi wins mirapa's rock papers scissors to go first, and then kankan beats rinchan, so konachi makes fun of rinchan for being weak lol
[idk what to tell you this really is just playing acchi muite hoi] kankan takes a good chunk of the audience out on her go, but on the (rinchan's) last chance theres still a few people left
kurusu-san doesnt manage to get the last people out so mirapa lose and she stamps her foot and shouts WHY >:( (kankan and konachi yell that shes weak again)
dollche next. nassu knocks out approximately no one on her first go so of course is called WEAK [she was very obvious which way she was going to point lol] but she does manage to get quite a lot of people out on her second
unfortunately fuuchan doesnt take everyone out either so they dont get to spin the wheel. kocchan says she had fun, she wanted to do it since tsuzuri-chan plays it in her with×meets
on your mark break and the camera lands on nassu who coolly says "thank you for coming today." everyone calls her cool but remember nassu wants to be called cute, though she says "do Not worry about it" (also coolly)
last corner is TOUSHO BAKO. the first letter is from it seems a kosuzu oshi and asks about kachimachi doing her best in episode 5. also whose swimsuit do they like the best. fuuchan talks about how its the next stage of kosuzu's growth after the tsuruga live, and how fast she's grown. personally it makes her feel a little lonely, like her child is growing up
kankan brings up the swimsuits of those two from dollche and nassu rushes in to defend sayaka by saying last year they were doing training, so it made sense. but, well, theyre not training this year...
kankan says she didn't expect kosuzu-chan's would be so cute, and konachi says ginko (they all love her hair). nassu says hime has good style, and rinchan says hime has long legs. of course this leads to rinchan and konachi waving up into the air at kanchan (because her legs are so long)
the next letter is about what good timing it was that this event is right in the middle between konachi's birthday and kocchan's birthday! (you can see konachi confusedly looking over at kankan's script because this letter wasnt in hers)
of course they come to the front and do the traditional blowing out all the penlight candles, and afterwards they make a hand heart together
they get a point for the corner so fuuchan goes to spin the wheel but drops the ball... she gets #27 which unfortunately was already very clearly 院
present!mirapa talk about proof and 104 natsumeki pain, which is a song rinchan listens to a lot and was very happy she got to sing
app pay skit 9!!!!!!! (/10)
mirapa say acchi muite hoi was fun with everyone even though it wasn't suited for radio without video!
day 2 with mirapa
konakona
they transition to the recording with little ado
they START the session and the camera lands on rinchan at the end of on your mark, who says "mirapa are gods!"
they sit down and explain the format of the public recording, though they're a bit all over the place without any guests lol. they all make the explosion sound to the nonfiction hero show bgm and then konachi runs off to get the gohou-bingo board, and then blatantly peeks under several squares lmao
the other two scold konachi, who comes back to the table, and they all start bickering and konachi says they smell (because of the tonkotsu they ate between sessions)
first corner is TOUSHO BAKO. kankan gets excited and looks to see if the first letter sender is in the audience but the other two point out to her the big letters at the top of the page saying theyre watching the stream...
the letter asks about how rinchan has started calling konachi "kona" lately. rinchan talks about how kona doesn't use honorifics with the other first years but calls her "kurusu-san" so she's kind of grateful for that respect, but when they play games together she doesn't use honorifics with her..., but then kankan starts laughing so rinchan and konachi start imitating her "HA HA HA" laugh instead lol
rinchan says she thought others won't change if she doesn't so she decided to switch things up and start calling konachi "kona." they ask if anybody else has changed but they haven't :( still kurusu-san. she wants to keep decreasing the distance between them. they also poke fun at rinchan's "kona-chan" and use of polite language during the sushi sehasu
kankan says recently the other two have been calling her "tsuka no ma" [???]
the next letter asks how they get their spirits up. konachi says kanchan's is a slap on the back (they joke she needs pats on the back like a baby) and rinchan says konachi was shaking her legs earlier. konachi says its like a massage because her legs are weirdly swollen today so don't look at them too hard! she gets up to show a mark on her leg from how she was sitting yesterday that hasn't disappeared yet for some reason and reveals she took her shoes off under the table again...
they demonstrate their huddle before they went on stage today, a simple putting their hands in the middle and going "OH!" but otherwise they don't really do anything. they ask the audience for suggestions for what they should do but nobody really had anything lol
kankan does say seeing everyone's comments gets her fired up though
the next letter asks them to express what theyre grateful for every day. rinchan says she tries to make a habit of saying them out loud and they tease her for telling them (rinchan protests its embarrassing for her too!)
kankan says she always feels grateful. she's really happy its the three of them! [they laugh at rinchan getting embarrassed presumably. the camera wasn't even on her on the stream] konachi says she does think often about what itd be like if it wasn't kurusu rin or anyouji hime
konachi and rinchan talk about how thankful they are for kanchan and how much fun and bright the world would be if there were more of her. rinchan says she doesn't think there's anybody kanchan couldn't cheer up. she's like the sun (konachi starts singing senpen banka but kankan stops her in case they get scolded for singing ceribou's song without permission)
kankan and rinchan turn to being thankful about konachi now who says they've already sent her their gratitude on LINE lol. rinchan says if anything happens konachi's the first to stand in front of you and show you the way. kankan says konachi probably doesn't think of it like this, but its like she protects them. konachi says thats because shes the king of mirapaland! as long as the citizens are happy! kankan and rinchan thank the king for her hard work lol
finally they move on to the sukisuki club and talk about how nice it was talking to everyone. kankan says she can't express all the gratitude she feels every day "i love you" and then laughs at how it sounded like a lyric so konachi punches her in the arm
they all say thank you to everyone in unison!
the last letter is about ruri's birthday next week, so kankan gets up to blow the penlight candles out. she kneels in front of the table and says its to represent ruri-chan's shortness [???] and says she wants to try blowing them out front to back like a wave rather than from left to right
they get a point for the corner and kankan pulls #16, 国 which konachi immediately interprets as part of "mirapaland." kankan suggests its part of "national" but konachi says they literally do not have the time to do a national tour in 2024 (rinchan says the 2◯◯4 might mean 2034 after all!)
the on your mark cam lands on kankan who pulls the others' chairs over to her so they're all shoved up on either side of her and says "mirapa are gods!"
the next corner is word wolf (letter/staff) which they've been looking forward to
this first round they show the audience what words they got, so we know konachi got "pegasus" to their "angel." kankan says its a konachi like word, and although konachi acts a bit suspiciously at first, seems to work out their word and is able to convince them she's not suspect. kankan thinks they all have the same word, but she does end up voting with rinchan against konachi, so the humans win
they ask staff if they can play again and remember they can play a total of three rounds
the next round is rinchan and konachi with "funny face" to kankan's "wink." kankan once again opens by saying hers is like konachi, which stuns her and makes the audience laugh a lot. konachi asks whether shes seen her do it recently and kankan starts wiping away laughing tears lmao. at first they turn on rinchan, but konachi eventually works out kankan's word (winking into the camera to confirm with the audience) and the humans beat the werewolf again
for the last round they don't show the audience their words. kankan immediately guesses its rinchan since she hasnt been werewolf yet, so they bicker over that briefly. kankan acts extremely suspiciously from the start and its essentially the other two just interrograting her. konachi plays 5d chess and has kankan saying her prompt is like a cat in an attempt to prove herself, and then reveals that her own prompt is more like a flamingo... kankan starts shouting hers is flamingo like too but its over. even the audience has turned their penlights red and green. they vote kankan as the werewolf and of course, her prompt was "sasaki kotoko" while theirs was "hanamiya nina"
they beg to be allowed to play again and staff say yes! the theme is cast members again, and they establish quickly all their members are very cute. when they talk about their person being short, they start making fun of rinchan because shes the shortest of them all, so she starts shoving kankan as revenge (and konachi joins in just for fun). they quickly gang up on rinchan, and konachi mimes "flower!" into the camera as a hint. after an audience poll (konachi says shes gonna remember everyone who voted for her) they vote for rinchan
kankan reveals hers was "nirei nozomi-chan" while holding up her "sasaki kotoko" card from last time. rinchan's was also "nirei nozomi-chan," which has kankan sadly apologising for not believing her (apology not accepted), and konachi turned out to have "nonaka kokona!" [you could immediately tell from kankan talking about how cute hers was that she had nonsuke lol]
konachi explains how she was trying to work out who the others had based on her own the whole time and when rinchan is aghast she's like "is this your first time playing word wolf"
the humans lose, so konachi insists they do the "i love you" punishment game since they were kind of dumb for being tricked by the wolf like that. rinchan does hers cutely, and immediately turns to join konachi in cheering on "kanna, kanna!" kankan makes a show of preparing herself, and then gets embarrassed halfway through saying it www
they get a point so konachi spins the wheel and gets #35, which they already knew would be ル so she gets mad and throws the square on the floor and mimes kicking dirt backwards to bury it (kankan sighs and goes to pick it up)
the camera lands on konachi, and she gives herself a peace sign ear and howls like a wolf
present!mirapa talk about the new deepness cards. rinchan points out their new hairstyles and konachi says their outfits are a little different to the original deepness outfits since they both have short sleeves. they also talk about how cute sayaka's mahou shoujo card is
app pay skit 10!!!!!! (/11)
they talk about how fun the public recording was and konachi said it was nice to have video
they announce that mirakura prep room radio will be ending in two episodes! konachi jokes that rinchan can do the next radio by herself since theyve already done three radios but then decides a kanchan solo radio sounds pretty good too
second to last episode of the prep room
konakona
rinchan reminds everyone of hime-chan's upcoming birthday and to come celebrate at the with×meets! she's gonna be sixteen, so young~
this episode they'll be looking back on the public recordings
kankan asks what they found fun and rinchan says the intro quiz, especially the chicken! kankan says that they drew the pictures for that intermission, but didn't know they could be animated like that so it was a big surprise. they all think it must have been quite difficult to animate, probably the hardest thing to make for the whole public recording, but they're really grateful
rinchan and konachi say its a shame kanchan's confession championship didn't happen... though maybe she can say "i love you" as the last words of the radio? wouldn't that be nice for everyone supporting them? kankan protests and changes the topic to ceribou's "i love you" punishment game which they all agree was great. hii doing it was really rare, and of course chuke would never disappoint them
konachi brings up acchi muite hoi as being really fun too and kankan says it was really chaotic. rinchan says there was someone really strong... was it kocchan? but they remind her the audience won against both mirapa and dollche lol (rinchan still seems a bit salty over losing?)
they talk about how funny it was when everyone was looking in their chosen direction and how lots of people seemed shy about looking left or right because they'd be looking at a stranger so they'd just look up or down lol. or alternatively how they pointed out couples or people who came together
kankan and rinchan talk about how the script is written in polite language so it was hard for them to convert it into casual language in real time as per mirapa radio rules
kankan laughs at the way konachi reads a letter and then keeps laughing even when it becomes her turn to read until she starts crying and has to get rinchan to read it for her. rinchan reminds her she cried from laughter during word wolf too
konachi says this is unrelated but kanchan came to her birthday event and told her she was able to contain her laughter but konachi could actually hear kanchan's HA. HA. HA the whole time lmao. kankan can't believe it, she thought she was absolutely undiscoverable. konachi tells her her family was sitting a way away and could hear her too lol
mirapa praise aoku haruka and say it suits the summer uniforms. konachi says the choreography is very kaho, and it actually reminds her of special thanks'. rinchan says she listens to aoku haruka a lot. they hear their own songs a lot during practice, but don't get many chances to hear the others', but she really did listen to aoku haruka many times this summer, when she could feel the summer breeze
they get really distracted about ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but get back on topic to talk about ladybug. kankan loves this song. dollche are so cool. konachi adds that nassu-chan is cool and kotoko-chan has beautiful hands
one letter says they cried when watching them do miracreation because of the story significance and konachi laughs a little at that but the other two think it makes sense
rinchan wanted to watch maharajamboree from the audience seats... kankan and konachi talk about what it was like walking through the audience aisles while performing and how they could only do that there. if it were a bigger venue theyd be on carts so it felt really fresh
rinchan says she's really happy to have been able to do ishin denshin and kankan and konachi say the three member version is actually easier to sing. konachi especially seems to have had real trouble remembering how to do the two member version. plus the three member version has choreography instead of being a cart song which made it easier to remember too
they talk about proof before they play it, saying they love the lyric video and art. kankan says it feels like a song that will get deeper over time and rinchan says it feels like it has more of kosuzu's colour than the other songs kosuzu's been in, and that it makes you realise dollche's charms now kosuzu's joined. konachi agrees dollche has changed a lot this year, but listening to proof makes her listen to seishun no rinkaku and parallel dancer right after
they praise how cute ceribou's tsukuyomi kurage cards are. kankan says she wants to go to the aquarium too, and rinchan points out how they can watch the jellyfish even in the ceiling above them in ginko's unidolised. konachi says their hair and clothes are so cute. kankan decides kaho has a side pony but konachi still thinks she looks like a babu (ginko looks mature though)
kankan says she found ruri and megu calling hime ひものち ("himessy" in riimuda's translation) in ep 6 really funny
app pay skit 11!!!!!! (/12) (notably ending in kankan saying "i love you")
while promoing the hasu 1st bd and the sehasu special extra kankan and konachi point out how they swapped hairstyles
konachi reminds everyone next episode will be the last of mirakura prep room radio but says whenever they close the door of one room radio everyone tells them not to go!
last episode of prep room radio
konakona!
the introduction is a mess, with rinchan mumbling while the others are talking and konachi introducing herself before rinchan
they remind everyone to look forward to the new mirapa single (fanfare) coming out next week!
kankan points out how the guests in the prep room were all hasu except for shuka-senpai lol she's really grateful because she did want to have her over
the special corner for the final episode is mirakurecreation, where they say as many answers to a question as they can think of and if they get enough points they can reveal their prize under the squares like last time (rinchan wants it to be yakiniku)
question 1: japanese national holidays. they run out after a few and start floundering (konachi and rinchan throw out "kanna day" and "oosawa rurino's birthday" as a joke) but they did name six holidays in the end (=six points)
question 2: jobs elementary school boys want to do. notable answers include "youtuber," "vtuber," and "pâtissier" but they only get three of those on the list. actually "pâtissier" was on the list of jobs elementary school *girls* want to do, and konachi says there's a hasunosora jogakuin no koto sukisuki club no minasan member who's a pâtissière and makes really beautiful cakes, like one for tsukuyomi kurage. kankan starts worrying because they won't get enough points for the prize at this rate
question 3: prefectures with three character long names. they kind of struggled with this one too, konachi not being able to think of one on her turn, but they do get six. kankan's proud she contributed to this one (konachi: yeah that's rare)
question 4: baseball positions. oh they really struggled with this one lmao. kankan's first answer was "setter" which is volleyball and they only get two
question 5: staff tell them this is their last chance, so they try and work out how many right answers they need to get this time. the question is... "hasunosora jogakuin school idol club members" so of course they manage to name all nine (they mostly said their full names but konachi and rinchan just said "ginko" and "tsuzuri" respectively which made me feel like they'd forgotten their family names lol)
they move on to reading letters. the first are about the fes×rec:live and they talk about how cool it was to be able to watch their characters for themselves which they haven't been able to do before
konachi says it was really nice to be able to hear the 103 versions again and points out the people she saw who were really moved by it. rinchan says she loves 103 identity, and the 104 version with hime will probably be released soon, but she was really glad to be able to see the 103 version "live" as it were. kankan says rinchan was next to her and she was acting just like himecchi, like "they're doing identity???"
konachi says she saw how excited everyone was in people's tweets since recording was allowed and that made her really happy
kankan says seeing ruri-chan and megu-chan in the deepness outfits moving around was personally really special. rinchan says the outfits really suit them!
finally they talk about the prep room radio ending which they still can't believe is happening. rinchan's glad she was able to do it and konachi talks about nice it was to have guests including a senpai. a radio after all is just talking, so its a good place to learn about hasunosora and share your thoughts by sending letters. um, yeah.
rinchan says they started recording it together as soon as she joined, when she was still using polite language, so it was like an opportunity for them to become friends. this radio is a lot of chatting, when they aren't talking about work, so it helped her get close to them quickly and she's really grateful for that
kankan says the prep room radio was the radio where rinchan joined and they became three and ran to the public recording and she thinks the way they prepared for the public recording was very mirapa. it was really fun and they made a really good event, and she thinks rinchan joining gave it a different kind of fun. konachi and rinchan tease her by calling her an onee-chan and praising how hard she's worked. what a cool senpai she is! (kankan: dealing with these two brats is such a pain!)
rinchan talks about how she saw a new side of hime-chan in episode 6. she's never been that down before, and she's always been more easygoing around 104 and the senpai, so she was really happy to find that different side to her. konachi adds it makes you remember that she's still a high schooler after all, and rinchan says she's normally quite steady so you don't see her weak points. kankan says hopes now that himecchi has found what she can do in mirapa that the three of them can continue to work well together
app pay skit 12!!!!!! (/13)
after promoing the hasu 1st bd kankan remembers that mirakura radio began the day of the opening live event!
finally they get to reveal their prize. it takes some effort to uncover the squares (sounds like theyre individually velcroed on) but it says "good job on the prep room radio! for your hard work (konachi complains they're wasting character count lol) the three of you each get a bouquet!"
its kankan's first time getting flowers and of course they're in mirapa colours! (loud noises as they mess with the wrapping plastic)
they each give their final thoughts and thank everyone for listening. rinchan is especially grateful to this radio for giving her the opportunity to talk with kankan and konachi. kankan says her and konachi's wishes have come true, that is, getting a song and the public recording. konachi doubles down on what kankan says and adds they got flowers, so that feels like a pretty nice ending! she has to tell the others to stop looking so sad and they tell her getting flowers makes it really feel like the end
finally they step out of the prep room together. good job!
in the corridor outside as they sadly leave staff asks why they didn't turn over the tag on their flowers(?). it says that next week is the start of mirakura audiovisual room radio! ☆
kankan says she's so happy she's gonna cry!!! the other two were so serious she thought it was over for real!!!!
104 mirapa radio!! (103)
its the prep room now since they're preparing for the public recording in summer! also rinchan is here now
rinchan says shes been calling them "kanchan" and "konachan" lately. kankan says the cast has been trying to call her "kankan" since they normally call her "kanchan" and konachi says the same for nonsuke too, instead of "chuke" (but whines "nonsuke" isnt cute...)
rinchan is "rinchan" to both kankan and konachi, and konachi explains again if shes "rinrin" alongside "kankan" mirapa will sound like ueno zoo! kankan says "rinrin" makes her happy and konachi yells at her
rinchan says shes decided to have both options and konachi's immediately like "ok rinchan then" so kankan decided to use "rinrin" for balance. rinrin 🤝 kankan
kankan tells rinchan konachi has banned polite speech on this show. rinchan says she does normally use polite speech but shes realised she speaks casually online like while gaming but its weird irl. konachi tells her to try casual speech from now on
rinchan describes hime as "a cute but downer mirapa otaku gamer girl with a sweet tooth." kankan and konachi are surprised her answer was so good before realising she probably just figured it out beforehand
rinchan feels shes really connected to hime since theyre both fast eaters (kankan: me too...! 🥺) and talks about how when she and the other 104 cast go out for dinner together shes finished her main by the time the others have finished their soup. konachi then talks about how surprised she was when she saw how quickly kankan eats
[kankan and rinrin bonding over being fast eaters] konachi: i dont get this at all
konachi says one time kankan tried to pace herself against chuke since shes a slow eater ("she has a small mouth. cute!") but she couldnt resist
konachi says hime probably likes sweets that dont mess up her hands while gaming and eats fast probably so she can get Back to gaming
rinchan says the point she and hime are most similar is gaming. though she's also a massive sweet tooth as well (kankan: wow! im feeling such a connection!! konachi: between her and hime?? kankan: no me and her)
kankan and rinrin say their favourite sweet at the same time to see if they match. kankan's is mont blanc and rinrin's is nutella (konachi: wait im obsessed with nutella!!! rinrin: a connection... kankan: hey wait)
for the record konachi also likes mont blanc and kankan also likes nutella lol ... she actually likes yanyan tsukebou more than nutella...
konachi: i have this big jar of nutella rinchan: i eat it with a spoon konachi: um..
rinchan also eats honey with a spoon for her throat
rinchan says shes surprisingly outdoorsy and kankan and konachi immediately dont believe it. she says she doesnt really go to the mountains but she does like cycling. she goes to the beach and collects shells and has made a lamp out of seaglass. she's outdoorsy. (kankan: maybe outdoorsy level 1... konachi: idk i just dont see it your image is too strong)
rinrin: i really do have an indoors image... kankan: you're always gaming! whenever i get a discord notification its you gaming again!
rinchan says konachi joins to watch and leaves after a while [another discord server argument]
rinchan has no sense of direction and will get lost in places shes been before and still doesnt know where to get off the train to get to their dance practice studio. if she goes to the toilet in a mall or train station she wont remember where she came from
rinchan says when she teases the 104 cast by the time they react shes disappeared. "isnt konachan the same?" konachi: its not that rinchan can't hear she just isn't listening anymore. me, i got bored
"i cant multitask" "oh, same as kankan"
konachi's personal question for her: who's your hasunosora oshi!
"oh no. obviously i love everyone but i love mirakura park!" (annoyed kankan noises) (threats of mirapa divorce) "i have equal number of goods for each of you! honestly! um... help...!"
kankan says she saw her rinkura profile the other day and ruri was her home screen but rinrin counters by saying she always has a megu keychain on her bag. and on her pc desk she has a nesoberi of each!
kankan and konachi at the same time: And Which Does Your Heart Prefer rinchan: oh man im sweating. i. have two oshi.
kankan and konachi ask for her Saioshi so she asks who their 104 oshi is and when they cant pick one they move on to the next question lol
kankan's personal question for her: what's your favourite hasu song!
"uh.! when i first heard it i fell in love with on your mark but now its ishin denshin"
seeing their performance of on your mark made her want to audition so she could sing it but now shes passed it and joined mirapa shes listening to all of their songs and loves ishin denshin, especially the part at the beginning where they sing individually
rinchan describes hiichan as very serious and nervous when she doesnt have a script and fuuchan as very pure whos always smiling and has high tension. she lightens the atmosphere and shes just like kosuzu irl
rinchan points out sayaka-senpai's half twin tails in harukaze buranko and konachi says its megu-chan respect. kaho-chan is ruri-chan respect as well
they say miracreation is a song that could only be sung by the three of them, 104 mirapa
kankan says ladybug is already in the top ranks for her
they ask how it was singing on your mark since she had wanted to and she said it was difficult trying to connect hime with coolness but she got it eventually
rinchan talks about the pressure of being responsible for the songs of their senpai and the senpai that came before them and how she was nervous to sing parts of songs that used to be a senpai's part
this has been the first time theyve been able to talk longform since theyre normally doing afureco or practice when together so this was fun
kankan says she'll join voice chat next time and the other two say she always says that lmao. rinchan waits every day for her to come until its 2am! (kankan and konachi: because you game every day!)
since its golden week now they discuss what theyd do if they had a ten day break. konachi says she'd go to hokkaido or sendai, with kankan agreeing on sendai
rinchan says she'd go abroad, and asks if theyre afraid of flying. konachi immediately says kankan is, who explains she doesn't like takeoff or landing, and she can't sleep without something from home, so she brings her own towel or something to hold onto
kankan asks where overseas and konachi immediately says switzerland since its so beautiful and the food looks good. rinchan and konachi talk about how theyve seen switzerland on instagram and tiktok and think it looke amazing, from the mountains to the beaches to the buildings
kankan's like how do you two know so much about switzerland???
they decide theyd like to go to switzerland together but they need to get passports lol
the next corner is them presenting their ideas for the public recording, and they have to vote on whether its a good idea or not. kankan says she has five ideas she definitely won't give up on
they do a practice idea from the preparation committee first: "everyone in the venue does a supplementary lesson and a following test and if anyone gets a question wrong the event ends." obviously everyone says 👎
kankan asks rinchan how she does with studying and she says she often learns words incorrectly. and clarifies specifically japanese. she's good at english. konachi immediately says she isnt sure if that english counts if she just learned it from games lmao. rinchan says she's got a grade 2 eiken english qualification (approx A2/B1)!! and kankan says she's only got a grade 3 (A1) herself...
the next practice idea is recreating a natsumatsuri on the stage with stalls and a unit shooting competition (not like it will come across over the radio). konachi screams while rinchan reads it out and obviously they all say 👍
kankan says she wants to make cotton candy and goes wait isn't that ceribou [sugar melt mention]. she decides dollche reminds her of water so they can have water yoyos and so mirapa can have target shooting
kankan's first idea is they have chowchows on stage with them. konachi says ���� but rinrin says 👍. they ask what the chowchows will do and rinchan asks if they'll have "abilities" (english) which kankan doesn't understand (she means tricks). rinchan also suggests putting mics up to them so they can hear them breathing so they decide on chowchow asmr
kankan starts saying something about the nine of them at rehearsals when konachi interrupts to say when the nine of them are together kankan looks like shes one of the first years. like, until now theyve been doing things as the 103 club, so she gets why theyre not that mixed yet, but there'll be infinity seats and kankan will be sitting with the first years lmao. itll be the second years and third years together and then "rinchan kanchan hii fuu"
anyway. kanchan lost her airpods and rinchan told her about an app that plays a noise so you can find them again and they were in rinchan's bag somehow [idk why they brought this up after talking about chowchows]
rinchan's first idea: hasunosora song intros quiz. 👍 Immediately no questions asked
konachi's first idea: wearing their character's casual outfits. 👍 immediately as well. she explains that theyre always in their school uniforms or a live outfit but since the event is during the summer holidays itd be nice to wear regular clothes. kankan adds she wants a three person mirapa outfit or a radio tshirt and konachi says yukata would nice too!
kankan's idea: hairstyle swap. konachi immediately makes fun of her for trying to get out of ruri's twintails. kankan complains konachi always makes fun of ruri's flowers. the others try and tell her she looks cute and she's the only one who suits them but they end up deciding rinchan should have them
kankan starts laughing that if uisama is sitting next to her she'd have to wear them and they laugh about nassu or hiichan in them as well
konachi suggests if they get a radio tshirt they'd design it themselves but rinchan says she can't draw. they say "isnt your writing really cute though?" and shes like "its really not" and they're like um..
konachi starts laughing and says her dad asked if ruri's autograph is messy on purpose, does she know who designed it? and she said it's because kankan wrote it lmao
kankan: its all my fault
she explains that when she feels like ruri she can't write slowly, and her family and friends and lots of others asked her "is rurino's autograph going to be like that forever?"
so it turns out she mixed up her Ls and Rs and written Lurino. so she corrected it by crossing out the L and writing an R next to it but staff thought it was a mistake so edited it to Rurino
she thinks its funny though and i think has recently asked them to use the non edited version from now on? [i think there's goods with the L crossed out and replaced with an R and a version that just says Rurino]
kankan says shes looking forward to hime's autograph (it was included in 104 doribiri already) and then asks to see rinchan's own autograph. konachi calls it a bird and rinchan corrects her to say its a penguin
konachi says its eyebrows are ugly and she explains it didnt originally have eyebrows but someone told her itd be cute so she added them and they were ugly but people told her they liked them so she keeps doing them (kankan: they're cute! [konachi silence of disapproval])
kankan says she wants rinchan to give her a tarot reading! she says in the 4/4 with×meets ruri talked about seeing a girl on the bus doing magic tricks and everyone got so excited hoping she'd be a new club member but it didn't happen lol (konachi scolds everyone for thinking a magician would go to an arts school like hasunosora lmao)
rinchan talks about mentioning she can read tarot and all of the senpai surrounded her lol
kankan also wants the three of them be DJs like in ishin denshin
after they play miracreation they talk about how fun itll be to perform live
kankan brings up at the end of the episode that she really wants chowchows at the recording lol
rinchan says if they arent allowed to do tarot readings she'll do it for them in the dressing room. konachi asks kankan what she wants reading and she says mirapa's future. when they ask what theyll do if she gets a bad reading so she changes it to her own future
they get a letter asking them to introduce themselves as kankan rinrin konakona and konachi protests but the others get her to try it once. so they redo the intro but kankan initiates it like unexpectedly genki which throws the others off so they ask to try again. konachi whines they said Once but they do it properly and she immediately says she doesnt like it lol
as the episode was released on kodomo no hi they talk about their childhoods. kankan says she was a serious kid to which konachi immediately asks for proof. kankan says she studied a lot and konachi asks if she's lying lol
konachi was a really shy kid (shyer than she is now) who couldnt talk to adults
hiichan introduces herself and kankan immediately goes "cerise bouquet are so unfair"
its hiichan's first ever radio appearance which she's been looking forward to. she also said brings up the special rule (no formal language) and says itll be hard since she isn't used to it but she'll do her best!
for her words of enthusiasm for this episode she talks about how she hasn't been able to talk about herself or interact with mirapa-san often since they normally do practice in units, so she really wants to talk a lot with them! (struggling to use casual speech)
a letter calls hiichan "hinahina" and its the first time she's ever been called that (konachi thinks this name is cute which makes rinrin and kankan complain lol)
mirapa say hiichan is very "ceribou" which she doesn't accept or deny but is happy about
kankan brings up that at hasu 2nd chiba hiichan asked if she'd like her to call her "kanna" and hiichan's like "i heard you might want to be called kanna" and konachi's like "who did you hear that from"
kanna-chan says girls who support her often call her "kanna-chan" so she feels like that name is exclusive to girls w
hiichan describes ginko as a yamato nadeshiko from kanazawa who loves tradition and she hopes she makes one hundred friends
she explains ginko mostly has friends of her grandparents' age and so it would be nice for her to make friends of her own for the first time at hasunosora. hiichan added her own personal wish for ginko to her description
rinchan says she loves ginko's interactions with kaho and konachi talks about how the sukisuki club all got interested in that last sentence of ginko's profile when it was released, "she struggles being honest with kaho"
hiichan says she thinks she and ginko are similar in how they think. theyre both only children so often do things by themselves. she really sympathised with one of ginko's lines about spending holidays alone
hiichan describes herself as someone who wants to do things properly. her hobby is doing relaxing things and her special skill is not getting lost
she says that things often go well, so people see her as 80% reliable, but the other 20% she is very nervous, like the MCs at lives, but the others are surprised and tell her they didn't even notice
kankan and konachi laugh at hiichan saying she doesn't get lost with zero hesitation. hiichan says that her classmates, especially rin, but fuuchan as well (kankan and konachi say she seems the type lol) get lost a lot, such as the first time they were at the studio, they were trying to get back to a room and they walked in opposite directions
rinchan's like "you have a good memory, hina" and konachi's like "maybe yours is just bad"
kankan tries to defend(?) rinrin by saying its not like shes stupid she just has a memory that forgets where she's going after three steps. she's probably missing something in her head (somehow not helpful)
kankan asks about the "idol appreciation" on hiichan's profile. hiichan says when she was in her first year of high school she had a came across a female idol group by chance and fell in love with one of the members at first sight and has been going to lives and supporting them ever since
rinchan says hiichan is always saying how cute she is and showing her pictures of her w
hiichan says her bangs obsession probably came from her love of idols. ever since she was a kid she'd watch idol mvs and copy them, and high school was when she started going see them and getting into oshikatsu. she took night buses from ishikawa to tokyo so she could buy goods and line up to meet them early in the morning
konachi switches topic to talk about how early hiichan wakes up/goes to sleep, as in her goodnight tweets are at like 10pm. konachi can't believe someone sleeps that early
hiichan says she doesn't understand how twitter works lmao. so she'll tweet goodnight and then stay up. she didn't know people would see her 2am retweets. on days she has work in the morning she'll wake up and post her good morning tweet within ten minutes, but on days off she'll set an alarm to wake her up to post and once she's done it she'll go back to sleep lol
hiichan says she sees tweeting good morning as an achievement and konachi tells her she should since she would never wake up just to tweet lmao
konachi compliments hiichan for tweeting useful information about the stamp rally and mirapa all wish hiichan could give them a tour around kanazawa on sehasu
rinchan's personal question for hiichan: what's your favourite thing about mirakura park!
hiichan says she loves how cute they are and their unique voices!
she says all the units have their own colour, but for mirapa-san, even when they're singing together you can pick out each of their (kankan, rinrin, konakona) voices. they don't interfere with each other but they are all part of one "mirapa"
mirapa thank her and say its the same for ceribou. hiichan's voice is like between kaho and kozue's, and its so clear
konachi says hiichan's voice is like a watercolour (suisai) while mirapa's are oil based (yusei) (kankan: we're yusei sekai)
kankan has two questions she wants to ask but konachi tells her to ask if hiichan has any kanazawa facts people don't know
hiichan says telephone poles around higashichaya and kenrokuen are buried underground so as to avoid disturbing the scenery which they find really cool
rinchan says hina told her about the small sprinklers ishikawa has in the road for melting snow to allow for vehicles since hokuriku is very snowy
hiichan says in high school she would hang out in kouribou, downtown from kanazawa station, where ruri-chan and megu-chan were in a card [petite pâtissière]. she'd go shopping or go to starbucks there like megu-chan. its a popular place for high school girls
kankan also asks hiichan her favourite hasu song and she answers reflection in the mirror!
obviously people know now that its an important song to ginko, but hiichan herself had listened to it a lot before it had been decided she had been cast as ginko. as reflection in the mirror is a song about encouraging someone when you're with them, she imagined it as ginko-chan encouraging her and pulling her along by the hand, so she was so happy when she found out its an important song to ginko as well (kankan: its like fate...)
mirapa compliment 104 reflection in the mirror and say they couldnt dance to it like ceribou did
konachi's personal question is who her oshi is besides ginko lol
hiichan says not including the senpai, it would be hime-chan! but she has two senpai in ceribou and she loves them both
of course she loves kosuzu and ginko, but she loves hime's uniqueness and her way of speaking, and her in game system voices are so cute she has to bite the inside of her cheek so she won't smile while listening to her
rinchan says hiichan is someone who laughs a lot, before referencing the afureco they did earlier. something about how much ruri changes her speaking mannerisms but this time her word choices were especially odd and "tokyo". kankan says she's been weird ever since she became a senpai. so rinchan said at that session hina was laughing a lot and konachi says she didnt know there were people who laughed that much while recording
konachi says the others have a really high tolerance but there are times she and kankan laugh a lot too. at the moment theyre obsessed with making jokes about petite pâtissière ruri's "hoi cake!" line and they literally open the game to listen to it
kankan has to explain it means like "here, have some cake!" but since its a skill activation line it has to be quite short so she said it really fast and it turned out funny. its what they say in the mornings instead of good morning lmao
hiichan says she loves the way the three of their voices blend together in aoku haruka. she was worried as to whether she could blend in with them at first but once she heard it she thought she managed it
mirapa say aoku haruka feels like the beginning of summer, like a school playing field, like youth. kankan says it feels like cerise bouquet with a new wind. konachi says ginko's colour really suits cerise bouquet
they introduce themselves as kankan rinrin and konakona right from the beginning but you can feel konachi's regret right after she said it lmao
afterwards they reveal that was their Second take. konachi messed up even earlier in that one
its been one month since 104 were announced! rinchan says their lives have changed. for example, hina has an alarm in the mornings now
rinchan says she's become more conscious but the others say she was from the start, shes such a pro. even yumi-sensei calls her a pro (rinchan told her not to but she kept doing it)
hiichan shouts SUGGESTION BOX over kankan and konachi and they scold her for it
hiichan starts reading a letter and says she thinks she should read it with energy like mirapa. the others laugh when she reads sentences with exclamation marks
they all say how cute ginko is in her kimono and hiichan says she wants ginko to know how cute she is
kankan says she wears kimono fairly often while rinchan says she hasn't besides her coming of age day. hiichan says her mom dressed her in her yukata for coming of age
kankan says hasu has a lot of cast with traditional japanese backgrounds [kankan does tea ceremonies, konachi does japanese dance, uisama does flower arranging]
hiichan enjoys going to teahouses as well. she likes black coffee, and says she gets anxious if she doesn't have one in her bag. its like flipping a switch before work lol
hiichan says japanese dance is cool. konachi asks if she's done it before and she says she's done a lot of dance but not japanese. she's going to dance lessons to learn how to dance like ginko
when hiichan was in elementary school, she did hiphop kids dancing. she did that the longest, but then she also did a bit of jazz, show dance, and ballet in middle school. but of course uisama is the one who properly did ballet
hiichan says both hime and rinchan are mirapa otaku, and what made her realise this was during rehearsals for hasu 2nd, the 104 cast were observing their senpai to study from them. konachi/megu-chan waved or something, and they each thought she was waving at them. but later rinchan showed hiichan a message from konachi in the mirapa discord confirming it was meant for rinchan. a few days later hiichan was talking about it with kanchan who said rinchan had responded to konachi's message extremely happy and thanking her for the fansa (konachi: it was like seven lines of messages)
kankan reads out rinchan's message and its like "thank you so much for the fansa!!! was it really for me!?!?!? you're absolutely the best. you're the best oshi in the whole world. i love you. please take good care of yourself and make it to the end of the tour well" with lots of crying and laughing emojis lol
hiichan said kankan was like "im really glad she's getting into the role of tsumayouji-chan" and hiichan was like "i dont think she is." kankan is like "i thought she was just taking it really seriously!!"
rinchan says that as 104 she loves her senpai, but itd be annoying if she brought it up too much. even when theyre together she doesn't tell them when they're being cute, so she let it all out at that moment
they talk about how loud fuuchan is lol. konachi says she's surprised she hasn't hurt her throat from shouting, and that she thinks she's probably even louder than kanchan. kanchan's voice carries but fuuchan's voice is just loud. (kankan: its like her voice comes from her stomach). hiichan says its surprising how energetic and loud she is early in the morning
when hiichan first went to the studio for afureco it was the six senpai plus herself in the booth. she was really nervous and hadn't really spoken to the senpai much yet, but it was fun recording the back and forths with kaho-senpai. kankan adds that ginko's exchanges with kaho are similar to the ones kaho had with sayaka way back at the beginning
a letter calls hiichan "hinahina" and hiichan confusedly whispering "hinahina...?" really reminded me of ginko
104 dream believers/on your mark/eien no euphoria were the first things 104 recorded, and although she didn't really know what kind of character she was yet, hiichan sang it with the image of ginko being "slender" in mind. rinchan says there was a sense of nerves about singing parts that their senpai had sung
kankan and konachi compliment the first years on all being such good singers, and konachi says the gap between fuuchan and kachimachi is amazing
hiichan recommends kenrokuen if you're going to kanazawa. its the garden of kanazawa castle, with lush plants and ponds, and you can really feel nature no matter the season and no matter how many times you go. kankan wants to visit in winter and konachi wants to visit in autumn
hiichan recommends you try the seafood in kanazawa! konachi also recommends the soft serve ice cream. kankan says she wants to go to kanazawa as nine
they get letters about ginko's kanazawa-ben, and hiichan says while working she speaks in standard japanese, but she thinks ginko-chan using kanazawa-ben is really cute. when she's with the hasu cast if she looks at their faces she'll slip into kanazawa-ben. she thinks she slips into it naturally when talking to the other first years
hiichan also teaches the others some kanazawa-ben. kankan says i love you and then rinchan tries to end the mail corner without doing it herself so kankan gets mad at her and konachi threatens to clip the sound again and send it to the nine member group chat lol
somehow konachi and rinchan turn it on kankan by doing theirs confidently and calling her cute for being so embarrassed so they get her to do it Again without the embarrassment
they play rinchan's oshi song, (104) on your mark, and she says once she heard the complete version she felt she had properly joined. hiichan sings the opening lines, which used to be sayaka-senpai's part which she loves, so she was especially enthusiastic. after they recorded on your mark they had worked so hard they were exhausted and "had the face of a warrior"
point of interest in the seiran no koi nagashi cards: hime's dream believers and dododo nesos. kankan likes the shoes. hiichan points out these outfits are modifications of kunpuu no shirabe from last year. konachi says tired kaho in ginko's card is really cute. kachimachi's twin tails are cute. sayaka's cooking ponytail. kachimachi's ribbons like sayaka's. the same apron in a different colour. rinchan calls kosuzu sayaka's daughter. konachi says dollche's family feel is great
hiichan wants to play shiritori at the mirapa radio public recording. she's good at drawing chicks but she's still practising drawing people. fuuchan is good at drawing so she might ask to teach her
they once again introduce themselves as kankan rinrin and konakona :3
its fuuchan's first time speaking to so many people on a radio, so kankan tells her she should ask rinrin for advice since shes a pro and rinrin's like "fuuchan will be ok!" since fuuchan is a leader who pulls everyone forward (according to the mbti quiz she's an enfp)
they read letters reminding "fuufuu" to use casual language and rinchan says it was fuuchan who started using casual language after they met first and fuuchan says she wanted them to be friends
mirapa ask if fuuchan's ready for the dododo q&a so she says she's been practising and theyre all like as expected of a leader!
fuuchan describes kosuzu as "a super genki but self deprecating full speed challenge girl." she expands by saying although she deprecates herself, she puts a positive spin on it, and its something she really respects about her. mirapa all compliment kosuzu's ability to pick herself back up and try again
rinchan says she was wondering how kosuzu's self deprecation would coexist with her brightness and says fuuchan has made her really charming
konachi says she likes kosuzu in dollchestra. of course everyone loves the two person dollchestra, but with her addition theyve become something new. "they're like parents with a child"
they all say she's really cute and want to look after/protect her. konachi especially likes how she calls herself kachimachi. kankan's first impression of her was she's taller than ruri w she had heard that a short girl would be joining so she was kind of excited but then she was still taller than ruri lol
fuuchan says lots of people have said they want to support kosuzu, so she'd like everyone to watch her closely as she undergoes new challenges and grows in the story
fuuchan says she's similar to kosuzu in how they hate to lose. and how she also says things like "this time was no good, but the next one..." and self deprecates, like she doesn't feel she's good at things. rinchan is aghast at this, saying fuuchan can do most things and she often feels she has to be next to her so she can absorb it. konachi says fuuchan has a lot of potential
fuuchan describes herself as "personality: indecisive, hobby: checking out new ramune, special skill: singing and long distance running"
konachi tells a story about the time she was going home with fuuchan (kanchan was also there) and fuuchan had a dentist appointment, which she wouldn't make in time unless she got a train that left five minutes later. konachi wondered why she'd book an appointment she couldn't make but. well, she hadn't seen someone run like that in a while (kankan adds it was a hot day as well). fuuchan says she ran all the way to the station and made it in time 👍
"i dont want to stop until i achieve my goal" konachi: is that what you call your dentist
they all compliment fuuchan on her singing. konachi really loves her long note near the end of sparkly spot, especially since its combined with the difficult dollche choreography
kankan says she wants to hear fuuchan's regular singing voice. she's heard 102 and 103's in voice training but she wants to hear 104's too (konachi suggests karaoke). fuuchan says kosuzu's voice is high but her own is lower
fuuchan only carries one type of ramune with her but she does have four other non ramune snacks in her bag. rinchan says one time she was super tired and fell asleep at her desk and when she woke up she had ramune in her hands. they talk about how fuuchan buys 1kg bags of ramune and gives some to kocchan ("i gave her some yesterday too") and kankan says she's like a mom before amending to like a leader
rinchan's personal question for fuuchan: the biggest challenge since she joined hasunosora?
fuuchan says growing her hair out and dancing
when they first met, her hair was barely down to her shoulders so mirapa congratulate her on growing her hair out so fast. fuuchan says she's worried about her first summer with hair this long
as for dance, she didnt really do much in school so this is her first time. her body is stiff but she's slowly been getting more flexible and she can touch the floor now
kankan's personal question: her favourite hasunosora song?
its tsubasa la liberté! on hasu 2nd day 1 the first years were watching the stream while waiting and when they saw tsubasa la liberté fuuchan had to hold back from crying. and when she was in the audience seats during rehearsals she cried for real. she really loves the outfits. she likes rain related songs so she loves tragic drops as well
kankan asks for her favourite songs from each unit. for ceribou its holiholi, mirapa identity, dollche (besides tragic drops) knot
konachi says she wants knot to be performed hundreds of times thats how much she loves it. she says nassu and kocchan have discussed it a lot so no matter how many times she sees it is always the best
konachi's personal question: hasunosora oshi?
fuuchan says yuugiri tsuzuri-senpai!
kankan says fuuchan's love of tsuzuri is well known within hasu. fuuchan loves her looks, and when she read the story she loved her vocabulary and way of speaking and her cute exchanges with sayaka-senpai, but when she performs shes so cool! that gap makes her her oshi!
they all talk about how good ladybug and its lyric video are. and how its dollchestra, but a new dollchestra, with a kosuzu like feeling
fuuchan recorded ladybug along with eien no euphoria, where she had to think how kosuzu would be in a group song instead of a unit song. it was difficult as in dollche songs she tries to sing with a cool feeling. but in the sense of kosuzu wanting to work hard to Sound cool
a letter asks fuuchan what she'd like to challenge herself with and she answers english and musical instruments. she loves going to theme parks so she wants to learn english so she can read what's on the signs and learn the lore. as for instruments she started learning drums and piano but she didnt get too into them
kankan's been interested in english recently. a friend of hers is kind of dumb (konachi: are you talking about yourself?) and has absolutely no sense of direction (konachi: kurusu rin?) but she works at a big company and speaks english since a lot of people there are from overseas and kankan thinks its super cool and wants to have a gap like that w
also (kankan apologises for talking about herself so much) she said in an earlier episode she has a grade 3 (approx A1) eiken english qualification but she realised she didnt do an interview so maybe its a grade 4 (only grades 3 and above do the interview) so she went home and asked her mom who told her she actually has a grade 5 (like elementary school level)...
actually, hayama has a grade 3... she did the nisshou business exam though which doesn't have an interview section. kankan says "then maybe i have a grade 3 too..." and fuuchan goes "you?" (they say she sounded like uisama lol)
kankan asks if there's anything the others want to challenge themselves with and rinrin says konachi seems like she could do anything and konachi says its not true if she can't do something she'll just give up lmao
she went to a guitar lesson once and quit after learning do re mi bc she didnt want to learn music theory she just wanted to learn how to play songs lol so she'd just look up the tab sheets online, mess up, quit, and repeat until around third year middle school to second year high school when she could play while reading the tab
they decide that if they were in a band konachi would be on guitar, rinrin on bass, fuuchan on vocals, so kankan on drums
kankan says she wants to perform with a live band and konachi adds liella had an acoustic live and kankan brings up aqours-san's orchestra lives too
they introduce themselves as kankan rinrin konakona with minimal hesitation on konachi's part :3
as its almost time to change into summer uniforms, they talk about their uniform memories. konachi and fuuchan had blazer uniforms. kankan had a blazer in high school but her elementary school uniform was a sailor fuku that looked like hasunosora's summer uniform. rinchan really likes coloured uniforms as her uniforms were all navy blazers
rinchan's school allowed both neckties and ribbons. konachi bought a necktie because she likes them and wore it even though it wasn't allowed. fuuchan allowed both technically but if there was a formal event they had to wear a necktie
rinchan says she loved the overture of the april fes×live
kankan says it was really emotional for the nine of them to perform at the same venue one year after the first four members did, personally and as ruri-chan as it was her first time along with the first years. konachi says it might be a tradition to perform there
fuuchan is grateful the tempo of sparkly spot slowed down lol. when she heard the 103 version it was so cool but also difficult and she didn't know how she'd do it. so it gives her a warm feeling that it seems the senpai arranged the songs to help them fit in
of course 103 identity probably had many changes itself, but rinchan and hime have only seen the 103 version so they have a really strong image of that version. so she hopes the 104 version can bring out a different charm and show the new mirakura park with the addition of hime's colours
they all say the choreography of 104 reflection in the mirror is really cool and fuuchan says they were all trying to copy it but its too hard
they also compliment dollche's ladybug outfits and then rinchan says kosuzu's bangs are cute and her eyebrows are cute when she's sad or angry
konachi says kachimachi's voice feels like you can't leave her behind and rinchan says you can really feel her effort in the song
fuuchan says before they recorded ladybug she studied her senpai's voices and realised theyre similar but different, and she was able to sing in a kosuzu like way
kankan says in a good way dollche has become even hotter
they get letters telling them about fukui's famous echizen crab which theyre jealous of
none of them have been to fukui, except fuuchan, but she didnt go to tsuruga, she went to shibumasa with her family (she didn't even eat crab)
kosuzu has a gao pose and loves big dinosaurs, and fuuchan says maybe she likes big animals because she's small. fuuchan wants to visit the dinosaur museum!
they get a letter about speaking in kansai-ben as fuuchan is from osaka and konachi reads it out like a yankii
kankan protests at this since they already did kanazawa-ben recently but konachi's like "this is a seiyuu radio." kankan's like "are you dumb" and konachi goes "that's meannn :(" so she apologises
kankan asks fuuchan for good points about osaka and konachi shouts over her to say the food is so good!!!!!! they just start shouting good osaka food (takoyaki, konamon, okonomiy- oh thats kyoto)
they all want to go to osaka and kankan wants to do the glico pose in front of glico (but konachi says no??)
fuuchan's osaka oshi point is everyone is cheerful which also makes you cheerful
konachi asks if fuu is so loud because shes from kansai and she says actually her mom listened to the last episode and told her she was loud. rinchan says kanchan is loud too and konachi says she's from "oo"ita ("oo"ita and "o"saka)
staff says since kansaijin are cheerful itd be perfect for mirapa to have an event in osaka and rinchan says she wants to go to universal studios there and kankan says she's never been
fuuchan speaks kansai-ben with 104
they get prompted to speak in kansai-ben again which konachi pushes onto kankan and fuuchan and fuuchan says she'll do it if kanchan does
fuuchan says she listened to what hiichan said in kanazawa-ben but doesn't think she'd use kansai-ben when confessing so she makes it thicker
she says "i like you" in kansai-ben while looking at rinchan so konachi says "you like her?" the other three also say it but kankan laughs during it and konachi's like "people like it when shes embarrassed. theyre gonna write 'kan kanna-san is so cute when she's embarrassed'"
rinchan says it was fun to do the "gaya" parts in eien no euphoria (the "yeah!" "lets go!" etc parts)
kankan likes the new line distribution and konachi says its like theyre passing them down. kankan says eien no euphoria always felt more of a school year song rather than a unit song and its only gotten stronger now
fuuchan really likes the 104 parts as it feels like theyve joined and are going to do their best
rinchan points out that you can see the hand of whoever took the photo of megu-chan's 365 days card and she really likes that
rinchan goes to food sample stores like the one tsuzuri is in in her 365 days card
konachi says its nice to see things other than their school idol activities
they also point out the 365 days outfits are difficult depending on unit like dream believers (dollche has long sleeves, mirapa has puffed sleeves, ceribou has frilled sleeves)
they all say how mature kaho looks in her BR and rinchan points out her bunny hair accessory. kankan says she wants all nine of their BRs
they get a letter saying they could get chowchows at the public recording if they had radio tshirts with designs from the dododo lyric video (such as a chowchow). plus hime-chan the mirapa otaku would definitely love a tshirt with a dododo motif!
kankan agrees with this, but the others (especially konachi) seem to want to design their own. kankan then asks if she can draw a chowchow on hers and konachi's like "hm... :/"
kankan really wants these chowchows lmao she says the others can draw rurihimemegu as well. or even the nine of them. since theyre good at drawing girls
konachi: what if we all draw our own girl? kankan: wait thats goo- uisama... (collective unsure noises)
fuuchan wants to play musical chairs at the public recording!!
mirapa say fuuchan has been a nice leader 👍
apparently fuuchan gives strange names to her toys. kankan wants her to tweet a photo of them
fuuchan: i have a seal plushie called ikameshi kankan: like isnt that weird? its a seal called squid (ika)? fuuchan: the ika doesnt mean squid! konachi: kanchan said that so confidently lol
fuuchan tries to explain where the name comes from but i dont get it and neither do mirapa so konachi goes ahead and ends the episode lol

A VERY In-Depth Look at the Miku Watch Party 2020/2021 Schedule (week 4)
Week 4 - Hatsune Appearance: Smaller Scale and Pre-Recorded Hatsune Appearance shows aren’t technically concerts, as they lack a live band or any live instrumentation whatsoever, but Angel Project’s touring pre-recorded live shows have been popular in Japan, springing up here and there over the years but notably in 2012 and 2013 with their Hatsune Appearance shows.  These were small-venue shows held every night over a period of a few weeks in the same location. They were animated using Miku Miku Dance, a freeware 3D animation software distributed by Crypton for creating 3D Vocaloid music videos (MMD has had a HUGE impact on the development of Vocaloid media, and is still in fairly active use today, taking on quite a life of its own beyond Vocaloid as one of the most accessible 3D modeling programs available). These sorts of performances were not especially new by 2012, having been seen at various Vocaloid fan events and conventions even over here in the US here and there, they were typically put on by fan groups with permission from, but little involvement by Crypton. The Hatsune Appearance shows, however, began life as part 39′s Caravan Summer Festival, a series of promotional events in August and September 2012 supporting the launch of Project Diva ƒ for the PS Vita.
This is another series I feel is under-apprecited by fans, even moreso than Snow Miku shows. I think this is largely due to the pre-recorded nature of the shows, on top of fans generally favoring the much larger-scale concerts. I’ll admit I was skeptical before I had seen one, but trust me, you won’t want to miss these. The big draw here, aside from seeing a number of songs performed that you just won’t hear in any of the live band shows, is the animation. Hatsune Appearance puts a lot more effects on the projection screen, and make heavy use of fairly tricky stage lighting and carefully-placed screens to create a unique experience that couldn’t be done with a live music show. Having the music entirely pre-recorded lends the animation and effects a level of precision you just can’t accomplish when working with live music, and that can make for a fun change of pace if that’s what you’re used to seeing. Plus, you don’t often get to see footage of smaller Vocaloid shows like these very often (despite the fact that they do still happen pretty frequently across Japan), even the Angel Project shows to follow in the ensuing years have pretty much no available footage circulating, let alone DVD or Blu-Ray releases, so these are some of the only glimpses into these events you can get without being there!
NOTE: Hatsune Appearance 2012 is a much shorter show than usual, only about 30 minutes long. Hatsune Appearance 2012 is 1 hour and 30 minutes long.
Hatsune Appearance 2012 was held every night from September 13th to the 23rd in Yokohama. There isn’t too much more to be said about this show that wasn’t introducing the series as a whole. Since this one only clocks in about a half-hour long, in a lot of ways it’s a preview for the much longer show to come in 2013, but it’s still a really fun little show to put on, and there’s only one or two songs that overlap between 2012 and 2013 so it makes it very worth it to watch both! One interesting thing to note about this show, the MMD model used for Miku, which they would also use for the 2013 show, was made publicly available in early 2013. Officially called “Appearance Miku” but commonly abbreviated as ApiMiku, it was a very popular 3D Miku model that remains in use today!
Hatsune Appearance 2013, full title: “Hatsune Appearance Natsu Matsuri Hatsune Kagami”, is the follow-up to the 2012 Angel Project show. Very little information can be found about this show (in English anyway), I’m not even able to find where it took place or the full range of dates that it spanned. The only concrete info I can seem to find is that the footage used for the DVD and Blu-Ray was recorded on August 20th, 2013. It seems as if this concert ran in the lead-up to the very first Magical Mirai, which was held August 30th 2013. Despite this, Hatsune Appearance 2013 remains among my favourites. These shows really demonstrate how much you can do with just a projection screen, stage lighting, and a good sound system. These smaller shows also just have an intimacy you don’t get in the giant concert halls and arenas, seeing Miku and the audience so close is honestly kinda special, and the projectors used do a fantastic job of making her seem convincingly on-stage, even at a much shorter distance.
Click Here For Full Schedule
“When it came to ordering the concerts, I tried to keep things in a loose chronological order while also offering a good variety from week to week, and pairing together concerts that compliment each other. Hopefully I’ve managed to string them together in a way that lets you observe how the concerts have changed and evolved over time, while not putting too many very similar shows back-to-back.”
“This whole thing is something I’ve actually been wanting to do for a while, I’ve had the idea kicking around in my head ever since the initial postponement of Miku Expo USA & Canada, and have spent the months since mulling over how I might to about pulling it off. I’ve put a lot of thought into making these work, so I hope you’ll join me and have a good time <3″

Natsu Matsuri 🐵🐨 (Summer festival)‬ Japanese style. Drawing From August 2018. Notice the koala and monkey masks hehe.‬ ‪That was fun to draw. I love to draw Shamy with yukata haha.

Summer Festival [Lancelot Kingsley]
Fandom: Ikemen Revolution Pairing: Lancelot Kingsley x Reader Word Count: 1303 words to make you enjoy natsu matsuri~ Warning: NSFW. Of course lol. A/N: The conversation for this was honestly innocent when we started talking about kimonos and all. And then my brain had a idea, and thus this was born. Calling out @flawedandimperfectangel , @ricercaminah , @becauseitsgreen , @alloveroliver (for the first time, it’s not your fault that I wrote this!!! loljk love you) and @lokiiwood ; here ya guys go! Modern AU because phones and I have to make them live in Japan. Also, don’t judge me for writing a summer themed fic during winter lol.
--
Summer night festivals have become a yearly tradition for me. I walked down the street with my neighbor who just happened to also attend the celebration by the nearby shrine with her boyfriend. We were both dressed in a yukata, a traditional outfit during these events. I could hear the loud laughter and cheer of the vendors as we rounded the corner, the festival lights lighting up the way. I bid my friend goodbye as I fished my phone from the front pocket of my clothes, standing by the side of the stairs.
Me (8:48pm): I’m here by the entrance. Where are you?
It hadn’t been a minute until I received a response.
Lance (8:48pm): Just with Harr and Sirius. I’ll come fetch you.
I tucked my phone back, clutching my wallet close to me. The summer breeze blew by as several kids ran past me, making me step back to keep from getting bulldozed over. My back hit someone else and I spun around hastily. “Oh gosh, I’m sorry!”
Looking up, I saw a pair of blue eyes staring back at me. It was Lancelot, and I breathed a sigh of relief that it wasn’t a stranger. He wore his casual clothes, composed of a red shirt and black pants. The lights from the festival made his hair glow, almost as if he had a halo on him.
He looked at me silently and I tilted my head. Was my outfit strange? I suddenly got conscious--I was in a simple red and gold yukata, decorated with pink peonies, my obi having a similar palette. Completing the look, I swept my hair to a side, holding it in place with a simple flower hair ornament. I’ve worn simpler versions in the past years, but I wanted to dress up a bit more for my boyfriend this time.
Lancelot spoke softly. “It suits you well. You look beautiful.”
My cheeks flushed as he offered his hand out to me. I placed my own on his and he gripped it securely, pulling me to his side as he tangled our fingers together. We made our way up the short stairs as I looked around, deciding which stall I wanted to go to first. “What about Harr and Sirius? Are they coming with us?”
“They’ll be meeting with their own lovers soon, so I’m not worried about them.”
I knew that the three of them always spend the festivals together and knowing that bit of information made me less guilty for asking him to spend it with me. I looked up at him, noticing the relaxed expression on his face as we walked to a food stall to grab something to eat. I managed to not burn my tongue over the freshly served takoyaki as Lance quietly eats up his yakisoba, tapping him on the shoulder to share a piece with him.
Afterwards, we spent a good amount of time going around the other stalls. Several children were gathered around the tub of water filled with goldfish, trying to catch one with their poi. I failed miserably at the ring toss, while Lancelot managed to win a box of cookies from the shooting booth.
“I honestly think you could’ve won the big teddy bear.”
He shrugged, giving me a small smile. “I missed the last target. Besides, I would’ve just given it to you if I won it.”
I laughed, linking my arm around his as we continued to stroll along the shrine walkway. Instead of mixing with the crowd by the temple, he led me to a different path, one that led beside the grounds. The way up was well lit with the soft light of the lanterns, the bamboo trees standing tall around us. We eventually reached a clearing, figuring that we were almost behind the temple. I looked at my boyfriend in wonder. “How did you know about this?”
“We always come here to watch the fireworks. The view isn’t always clear, but we can still get a good watch.” He smiled, motioning me to sit beside him on the nearby bench.
The silence between us was comfortable as we waited for the signal. Resting my head on his shoulder, I snuggled up closer to him. “Thanks for spending tonight with me.”
“You make it sound as if I wouldn’t want to.”
“Oh, it’s not that.” I responded, fidgeting with the hem of my sleeve. “I know you always spend time with the two of them, and I just thought maybe you wanted to spend this year with them too instead o--”
I got cut off as Lancelot pressed his lips against mine. The contact surprised me but I immediately responded, kissing him back. He moved to deepen the kiss, cupping my cheek to angle my head. He pulled away first, resting his forehead on mine. I heard a faint sound of a drum in the distance.
“I love you, and I’ll always want to spend time with you.” He murmured, a gentle pitch to his voice. “Never ever think otherwise.”
I nodded, believing him. I closed my eyes as we kissed again, the fireworks going off in the distance. His kisses were more loving and passionate, filling me with warmth and happiness. Kissing him back with as much emotion and earnest was the only way I could let him know that I felt the same way.
It took me awhile to register that his hand had been resting on my thigh. I shivered in anticipation of what he was thinking, until I remembered where we were, pulling back. “Lance…”
“Shh. You’re fine.” Whispering, his hand slipped under my yukata, fingers caressing my inner thigh. I moaned as I felt his fingertip slide over my slit, teasing me with light touches. My hand gripped his shirt as I adjusted to slide my legs open, just enough for him to cup my sex. The lights were the farthest thing on my mind as his fingers pushed my panties aside, hearing him groan over the wet heat he found.
Fingertips found my clit first, rubbing circles around it as my hips jerked up, asking for more friction. Lancelot’s mouth trailed kisses down my neck, lingering at the base to nip and suck at the skin. I couldn’t help the gasp that fell from my lips as I felt two of his fingers slip inside my pussy.
The fireworks were going on in front of us, but I could barely register them happening. My skin felt hot, his mouth on them sending me little shivers throughout my body. Lancelot didn’t stop there--he nudged a portion of my yukata off, exposing my shoulder. His lips made their mark on the new found territory as his fingers thrusted at a pace, gradually speeding them up while his thumb flicked over my nub. The pressure built up inside me as my hand clenched on his clothes, my cunt pulsing and spasming around his digits.
I couldn’t stop the moan I let out as my orgasm washed over me, my back hitting the wood for support. He didn’t lose speed as his fingers drew it out, prolonging my pleasure as I shut my eyes, sparks dancing behind my eyelids. Lancelot paid close attention to me, eventually stopping before taking his fingers out gently, bringing them to his mouth for a taste.
“G-Geez..” I managed to breathed out, my voice hoarse from his ministrations.
He gave me a grin before planting a kiss on my cheek. “Watching you was more satisfying than the fireworks show.”
I blushed red, smacking him on his arm as I hid my face in his shoulder. He laughed softly, bringing me in for a hug as we listened to the last of the fireworks before coming down to enjoy the closing of the festival.

Tumblr media
Here’s part 2 of track 2~! It runs from minute 15:04 to the end www I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did~!
Again, thank you to @ryuukia for sharing the files~!
※ Please don’t re-post the English translations without permission. Please like and re-blog instead of re-posting ^^
Under the cut, enjoy~!
[15:04]
JUNYA: I have your songs in a playlist that I listen to, you know?
SORA: Eh? Is that true? That makes me so happy~!
JUNYA: It’s true! At first I only used them to gather info on how students would feel but I really do listen to it a lot.
JUNYA: Normally for my work I listen to a song one can normally dance to but, since your songs have a different feel, I usually listen to “Itsuka no Natsu Matsuri” and uh… ah! “McGuffin,” was it?
SOARA: WOAH!
NOZOMU: So you really do listen to them, Sensei~!?
JUNYA: Yeah. You have a lot of easy to listen to songs. Plus, it somehow… It makes me want to cheer you on.
JUNYA: It makes me feel like I can do my best and look forward, too!
JUNYA: They’re all such wonderful songs.
REN: Uwah~! Thank you very much!
JUNYA: Ah, but…
REN: Hm?
JUNYA: The latest song’s PV that was just released had a different feel again, huh?
JUNYA: The atmosphere (of the song) in general is good, the lyrics are powerful.
JUNYA: It’s a song where I can feel how much you’ve moved forward.
JUNYA: Ah, that’s only my opinion though…!
REN: Ah… That’s…
NOZOMU: Because it’s RE:START! A new departure! A brand-new SOARA! It’s a song about our restart~!
JUNYA: I see now. It really does feel like that.
SORA: Um…! Sensei… What did you think…?
JUNYA: Hm? About what?
SORA: About the new song. Since you’re a pro dancer who’s listened to a lot of songs… I just wondered what you thought of it…
REN: Sora-senpai…
JUNYA: Hm? Ah, I’m sorry! Did what I say sound negative?
JUNYA: I really love it!
JUNYA: It made me feel like “Oh! I love this” and I could feel the dedication that Sora had as the writer of the song.
JUNYA: Like, it made me want to dance?
SORA: Ah, i-is that so…? I’m so relieved…!
JUNYA: You’re amazing huh, Sora-kun.
JUNYA: I knew this already but, you really are a professional composer and everyone in SOARA’s an artist, huh?
SOSHI: Though, the extent of his dancing level is only until the Awa Odori dance. (1)
SORA: Sou~! The Awa Odori is a very wonderful dance, I’ll have you know!
SOSHI: That’s what you’re mad about?
SORA: I’m mad about both! You keep saying “Awa Odori” You’re persistent.
JUNYA: (laughs) Well, it’s not like you have no sense of rhythm and your stamina is not bad so if you get used to dancing, you’ll get better in no time.
JUNYA: Didn’t you do well with dancing during the previous live?
SORA: I did, right? (excitedly) I did, didn’t I~? Sensei gets it~!
JUNYA: My job is definitely to be able to teach Sora-kun who can only dance the Awa Odori dance, a new and fast-paced kind of dance, right~?
SORA: That’s right, uh-huh. yep—Huh?
JUNYA: And so~! Since you’ve gotten one step closer to it, today’s lessons are over~!
JUNYA: Thank you for the hard work, SOARA.
MORI: Thank you for taking care of us, Sensei.
SOARA: Thank you for the hard work!
JUNYA: Alright, I’ll do more work. I wanna finish the dances for the other two songs, too.
SOSHI: Sensei, you like doing choreography, huh?
JUNYA: Well, of course. I’m doing
JUNYA: I love it so much that I… dropped out of university halfway the other year.
[18:30]
  SOSHI: Hm?
SORA: Huh?
REN: Hm?
SORA: Uni…versity…?!
NOZOMU: You say…?!
JUNYA: E-eh…? Th-that’s what you’ll react to…?
SORA: I uh… No, no, I mean… Right, guys…?
REN: Y-yes… U-um… Th-this might sound a little pretentious asking this so late but…
REN: How old are you, Sensei…?
JUNYA: Eh? Wait a sec… Wait. Up until now, how old did you think I was?
SORA: Here! Is this the time where we can frankly say what we thought?
JUNYA: Go ahead, go ahead~ Please don’t hold back.
SOSHI: 32 years old.
REN: 34 years old.
MORI: 35 years old?
NOZOMU: 33, single, but has been living together with their girlfriend for 10 years~!
SORA: 31, a father of 2, married early and now your children are almost in middle school.
JUNYA: The scenario for the last guess is too complicated…
JUNYA: (laughing nervously) E-eh…?! Do I look that told?
REN: A-ah, no… It’s not… No, uh… It’s not that you look old but… You seem so professional and have such dignity that uh… (gasps and says with a squeaky voice) Right?!
NOZOMU: (with a not so convincing tone) Th-that’s right~! It’s exactly like that, yeah!
SORA: In other words… Sensei is a lot… younger (than what we guessed)…?
JUNYA: Young, you say… I’m from… the same generation as you guys…
SOARA: EEEEEHHHH?!!?
JUNYA: I’m 22 years old, you know…?
SOARA: 22 YEARS OLD??!?!?!
SOSHI: Really? That’s only a 1-year difference.
SORA: Eh? EH? EEEHHH??! With that face?!
JUNYA: “With th—“ uwah… Saying that kinda hurts.
JUNYA: I-it’s true that my friends often say I look older for my age…
NOZOMU: There’s a limit to how dignified you can be…!
NOZOMU: Even though you look like the kinda guy who would say, “I danced in America when I was younger!”?
JUNYA: I’ll take that as a compliment, okay?
JUNYA: Man, now I understand. No I wonder I couldn’t completely break the ice with you.
JUNYA: I thought that you were just simply super polite people but… I guess that’s how it is, huh?
JUNYA: Ma~n, I’m at a loss. Well, it’s true that I’ve been dancing since I was very young though. But, I’m still a very young person who just started doing choreography.
JUNYA: I’d say about as long as you guys have been performing.
SORA: Eh? Is that so?
JUNYA: Yeah, yeah. I got into the industry at about the same time as you did with yours.
JUNYA: I’ll say this again. I’ll be in your care.
MORI: Y-yes… We’re in your care, too.
JUNYA: Like I said, you’re too formal. Lessons are over so please, speak casually.
JUNYA: You can call me “Junya” too, if you want.
MORI: Even if you say that…
REN: Y-yes… Changing so suddenly is…
NOZOMU: Aw ma~n~ We’re in your care, Junya~! We don’t have that much age difference~!
REN: There’s one who just did it, though!
[21:34]
  HINATA: Pardon the intrusion~! Hey youngsters, great work today!
HINATA: Did you break a proper sweat?
REN: Ah, Wakatsuki-san. Thank you for the hard work.
SOARA: Thanks for the hard work.
HINATA: Yes, yes~ Those are faces of people who did their best today~
HINATA: Looks like the lesson went well. All’s well that ends well, I say~
SOSHI: Oh yeah. There’s this person who doesn’t look his age, too. In a different way from Junya, I mean.
JUNYA: Eh, is that so? Manager-san’s not the same age as us…?
SOSHI: What…?
JUNYA: Is he like those people who skip a grade and is a lot younger than us?
REN: It’s the opposite.
JUNYA: Opposite?
HINATA: He looks very young but Wakatsuki-san is 33 years old. He’s married and has two children.
JUNYA: …! 33 years old…?! A father of 2?! For real?!
SORA: It’s totally true.
HINATA: Hm~? What’s this, what’s this? You guys over there, are you talking about me~?
HINATA: Fumufumufumufufufu~ (2) Do you want to know the secret behind this youth~?
HINATA: (laughs) Guess I have no choice~! I shall tell you as a treat!
HINATA: You just have to follow the SNS account that I use for personal stuff~!
HINATA: With the power of my life force and my beautiful angels, I’m sure you’ll get younger just by looking at it~! (sparkles)
HINATA: That’s my secret! It’s familial love! It’s overflowing love!! (more sparkling sound effects)
JUNYA: Uwah… (laughs) His personality is like a celebrity’s…
SOARA: That’s totally it…
HINATA: Oh my~ Mr. Dance Instructor, thank you for giving lessons today, too.
HINATA: How were my children? Did they level up from the Awa Odori?
JUNYA: (laughs)
SORA: Even Wakatsuki-san’s saying that?!
==END==
Translator’s Notes:
(1) The “Awa Odori” is one of Japan’s largest dancing festivals. It’s a celebration held usually as part of the Obon Festival during August. It’s Japan’s largest dancing festival. There’s choreographed street dancing and all that but, just very simple dances that everyone can dance. [Source] Here’s a link to a video of the traditional dances just so we all have an idea of Sora’s dancing level www
