trying to find a way back home to you again ↪︎ or: in which taichi and mimi deal with the struggles of being far away from each other, wondering about each other, seeking each other and returning to each other. ( listen )

note: this fanmix is dedicated to @ex-machiina, my forever michi love, who had requested a fanmix about taichi and mimi on a roadtrip. 

gradually i diverted from said theme (i’m so sorry about that) because after watching kizuna i was more inspired to turn it into an angsty semi-ldr as taichi would travel a lot for his diplomatic studies and mimi for her online retail to sample as much different products as possible. due to them travelling so much for their careers, it would complicate them trying to be together as they keep needing to separate ways after being together and as they are still unsure of what they feel and want, and even more unsure of what the other might feel and want. lastly to give it an extra international feel i added non-english songs to the playlist. i wrote down in which language the lyrics are.

cover-wise: yes, i recoloured mimi’s white shoes to match with her dress (taichi was better accessorized than her) and her stockings to remove them all together because that flashy pink colour is not pretty. but most importantly i love how the bg represents an airplane window.

extra: a big thank you to @aarreplaneetta for suggesting the song “the bones” and giving me a second breathe to finish this project (as i was about to give up; i have been working on this project since march...) and to @aeonsofgrace for listening to my ranting.

i have also decided to share this as an entry for the michi summer weekend @taichixmimi because i am rather proud of this fanmix and even though it’s not really an “an outdoor activity” in my eyes they are actively searching for each other outdoors. yeah, no shame.
