#gonna be thinking about this for the next 10 years

Animage March 2025 Issue ft. Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger Main Cast Member Interviews (translation below)

Publication: February 10, 2025 (after broadcast end)

The 48th Super Sentai, "Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger," used a motif based around cars, and its biggest charm was its message of "taking control of your own wheel," which likened taking control of your life to the steering wheel of a car.

Another characteristic of Boonboomger was how elements that may have seemed crazy or laughable at first glance were given a sense of nuance and depth. Taiya, a wealthy and always dignified man, regrets that he was unable to do anything when he heard screams, and strove to become an adult with more flexibility than anyone else. The Hashiriyans had been developing comedic strategies in order to collect the Ghassolin produced by screams, but in their final phase, they devised a terrifying plan to turn Earth into a Ghassolin factory by preventing all of Earth's problems from being resolved.

The way Earth was depicted in Boonboomger is no different from the real Earth. That's why the Boonboomger's bravery that conveyed to us the importance, difficulty, and coolness of "taking control of your own wheel" will remain in our hearts forever. _

-A very, very tearful wrap up-

Iuchi: The ending was one where we got to see where everyone ended up, but even at the time of the wrap up, it didn't feel like the story was over at all. However, it was only when I stopped my routine of reading the script at night before going to bed and thinking about the scenes and lines to be filmed the next day, that I realized for the first time that "it was finally over."

Saito: We're still working on Boonboomger, so I haven't really felt it yet. It was like that even on the very day of the wrap up……

Miyazawa: You cried the hardest (everyone laughs).

Soma: Your face was wrinkled like an umeboshi.

Suzuki: His face was scrunched up as he cried.

Miyazawa: Still, there was something about Ryu's face that really hit me.

Saito: I love everyone in Boonboomger, including the staff. I've spent the past year thinking that I'd met some incredibly kind people, so when I thought about the fact that I may never have the chance to meet them again, I started crying like crazy.

Miyazawa: It was really cute that he even cried the day before the wrap up.

Hayama: He sent a message to our six person group LINE that said, "I don't wanna be separated from you guys." I thought it was beyond cute.

Miyazawa: I remember he bawled his eyes out in the bath.

Saito: We were going to meet after the wrap up, and when I was thinking about what I was going to say to everyone, the realization that "tomorrow would be the end" suddenly hit me.

Suzuki: Moments like that come suddenly, don't they? When we got the final cut, I was a complete mess, as I was beyond relieved that the year ended with no one getting injured, but sad that it was over. I cried so much, that I myself didn't think I could cry that much.

Saito: You cried once in the morning.

Suzuki: Due to the order of filming, the final scene was shot in the morning. I felt sad when filming was over, and as Mira, while there were moments in time when Chasshiro and Genba weren't around, when I thought about how great it was to be able to finish with my friends, I started to cry abit.

Hayama: And then there was Zawa-kun's final ByunByun Change.

Suzuki: Zawa-kun playfully said to me, "Miu-chan, I'm gonna do my final ByunByun Change," and it really stung me.

Hayama: I was so nervous about the scene where we wore the Boonboom suits and did our roll call, that I didn't realize it would be our final time until I was handed my bouquet. However, when I saw the look on Director Nakazawa's face at the end, it was too much for me to handle. All the gratitude I've felt up until that point just came bursting out, and I don't even remember what I said in the end. It's been a long time since I cried like that. Probably not since I was born (everyone laughs).

Suzuki: Yuki-kun's comment really hit me. He told Nakazawa-san and Producer Kuji-san, "Thank you for finding me."

Hayama: Did I say it properly? I'm glad then.

Miyazawa: Even though he said that, he concluded by saying, "This is the end" (everyone laughs).

Suzuki: He was crying so hard that he couldn't think straight, but the way he ended it was very subtle, which was really funny (laughs).

Hayama: That's just the kind of person I am (laughs).

Miyazawa: I also bawled my eyes out…

Iuchi Hayama Suzuki Saito Soma: Eh?

Hayama: I thought it was cool that Zawa-kun didn't cry though?

Miyazawa: I was on the verge of tears too, so I couldn't look at the staff and just kept my head up as I talked. Besides, I thought that since I was the first in line to address them, I couldn't cry. I think if I'm gonna burst into tears, it'll be during the Final Live Tour.

Soma: Zawa-kun tends to cry from time to time.

Miyazawa: Cut it out, geez! I do cry pretty often. I'll cry when I watch the drama at home (everyone laughs). Still, I was really glad that it was the six of us, and we had a really wonderful wrap up.

Soma: I on the other hand didn't cry or anything like that……

Suzuki: Yes you did you liar! (laughs).

Soma: (laughs). I was still holding it in when I hugged my partner Ono-kun, but when I received my bouquet, the sadness and realization that it was over came at me all at once. On top of that, the number of staff members on set was amazing.

Suzuki: Yeah, everyone who's ever been involved up until now had gathered.

Soma: That's what further moved me to tears. Still, it was a really great way of ending things.

Saito: I also became overwhelmed when I hugged Shige-san. We've been playing the same role together for the past year.

Suzuki: We supported each other.

-Culmination of the past year! A turbulent Final Lap-

Iuchi: The five people from Earth went to space. On the opposite end, Sakito, who's an Earthling but lived in space, remains on Earth, which I thought was a very good ending for Boonboomger.

Soma: This is especially true for the opposite end. Sakito must've been a delicacy of a role to play.

Miyazawa: It was a real delicacy (laughs). The man who abandoned Earth encountered Earth's Boonboomgers, felt their kindness, and made the decision to protect Earth, which I feel was a sign of Sakito's growth. It was also cool to see Sakito carry on the responsibility that Taiya had done up until now.

Suzuki: The scene with Byundi in the final episode was also good! At Mira's part time job, Sakito's trying to convince Byundi to go to space, but Byundi's hesitant, which gives off the impression that they care about each other.

Miyazawa: After seeing Taiya and the others off, just as Sakito and Shirabe-san are about to go back and eat curry, Byundi shows up right behind them. He just appears (laughs).

Saito: I liked that scene…

Suzuki: He says, "There's a novel I still haven't shown you yet." I really like endings that make you feel like there's more to come. Even though Boonboomger's broadcast is ending, I was happy to read the script because it showed that the six of them will continue to live on.

Saito: I was happy with the ending for the Sanseaters too. All three of them were fairly popular.

Soma: Nah, they were insanely popular. They'd trend on SNS more than we did (laughs).

Suzuki: They really did. They'd snatch it away from us (laughs).

Hayama: Yaru-chan was the strongest when it came to that.

Saito: That's for sure, Yaru-chan would always show up (laughs). It was alittle surprising to see Jou get involved with the Sanseaters, but Jou helps anyone in trouble, no matter who they are, which is probably why he was able to get along with the Sanseaters, or rather, he atleast had a good connection with them. There's a scene where I Boonboom Change, and BoonBlack and Decotrade fight together in the same spot, which I also observed the filming for, and that setting was really intense.

Hayama: In the scene where Decotrade protects the children, he's attacked on his back. I can't wait to watch Ogura Toshihiro-san's performance (this interview took place before the broadcast).

Saito: Decotrade's reaction after Jou said, "You're a pretty nice guy," was improvised by Ogura-san, who was asked by Director Nakazawa to "respond in some way." Decotrade's slightly embarrassed look matched his character, and it made me think, "I wouldn't expect anything less from him."

Iuchi: Even when I was watching it back together with the staff, I thought that the scene where Chasshiro shows up at the wedding ceremony was really funny. We all said, "Chasshiro, how can you arrive on the scene with such a smug look on your face after betraying us?" (laughs).

Hayama: They kept teasing me even after I said, "It's in the script!!" (laughs). I'm sure that was just his way of being happy.

Saito: When Chasshiro was on his own, Yuki-kun and us other five hardly ever saw each other, so when we did meet up for the first time in a while, he was even noisier than usual (laughs).

Suzuki: He couldn't stop talking (laughs). He was super excited.

Hayama: I wanted to talk! I was by myself for so long.

Suzuki: Satorun went through a similar situation when he was away, right?

Soma: I did.

Hayama: I understand how you felt.

Soma: Right? You feel lonely when you're out of the picture.

Hayama: Normally they don't do this, but I thought it was pretty mean that they went through the trouble of taking off shot photos of the five of them and posting it in our group LINE (everyone laughs).

Soma: We were like, "Thank you for today."

Saito: "We had fun."

Suzuki: "We'll see each other tomorrow, won't we?"

Hayama: I don't like that.

Miyazawa: I hate it (laughs).

Hayama: It's because I was lonely. They made a collage and would cover up someone else's face by putting a picture of my own over theirs……

Suzuki: I did that too (laughs).

Saito: Miu-chan of all people took part (laughs).

Soma: By the end, we made everyone Yuki-kun.

Suzuki: We were also teasing him, but we still felt lonely without Yuki-kun, so we were like, "Alright, let's send this to Yuki-kun!"

Soma: Right, we lovingly teased him (laughs).

Hayama: So you were teasing me? I didn't realize it at the time (everyone laughs).

Suzuki: For the last few episodes, I never thought I'd have to wear a wedding dress again.

Saito: I also liked Mira's wedding……

Iuchi: Aren't you liking too many scenes? (laughs).

Saito: It's because I like all of them (laughs). It's a similar situation to Bakuage 1, where at that time, Taiya went in alone to stop it, but in Bakuage 47, the fact that all her Boonboomger friends were also there was heartwarming. I felt overwhelmed with emotion by what she had accomplished over the past year and her growth as a Boonboomger

Soma: That's what you can do when you gain control of your own wheel.

Suzuki: Mira told Taiya in Bakuage 1, "I'll take control of my own wheel," and I was happy to see her growth since that moment and the way in which it was delivered.

Miyazawa: I think the scene in the warehouse where Mira says, "I'll get married," was really good. The others still don't agree with Mira's decision, but Taiya replies with, "I understand." I feel that the story Boonboomger had been developing up to that point stood out there.

Suzuki: That scene was really intense. While Sakito, Genba and Jou all want to stop her, Mira takes a step forward, thinking that if she goes to Spindo herself, she might be able to protect Earth and everyone in Boonboomger, but with Taiya being Taiya, he has various thoughts on it, which is why things ended up the way they did.

Miyazawa: And, Ishiro was working from behind the scenes.

Hayama: Right. I'm looking forward to watching it since everyone says it was good.

Suzuki: It was also challenging for Taiya. Before we filmed Bakuage 45, Haruhi had lost so much weight, that the outline of his face had changed. I was worried and asked him about it, but he said, "Since it's a scene where Taiya hasn't eaten, I've also been trying not to eat for two or three days."

Iuchi: Yeah, my partner……he passed away once……

Soma: Choosing your words carefully, huh? (laughs).

Iuchi: (laughs). That's why I decided to change the mood all at once. I didn't sleep for the day of the shoot, and felt physically ill.

Suzuki: His eyes were completely devoid of light, and I also had alot to take in from his performance.

Soma: That's why the scene where he eats curry truly looked delicious.

Suzuki: Right, right, he was eating like crazy (laughs).

Iuchi: It was really delicious. I thought, "It's been so long since I've had a meal!" (everyone laughs). I know I'm moving on to the final episode, but Zawa-kun had alot of trouble with his unmasked roll call.

Miyazawa: I didn't think I'd ever have to do BoonViolet's roll call, so I was taken aback for a moment when I heard about it (laughs). On the day of filming, I was allowed to practice until the very last second.

Suzuki: Still, it was amazing. I felt like yours overlapped with Tsuta-san's.

Hayama: He was given the OK with his first take.

Soma: It took me four attempts (everyone laughs).

Suzuki: Furthermore, we had to stand on a platform, so we had to do it alone from a high place.

Soma: That was dangerous…..

Hayama: I was thinking, "Everyone, avert your eyes!" (laughs).

Miyazawa: It must've been difficult for Miu-chan too, right?

Suzuki: It was difficult! Still, I thought that I might have to do it somewhere, so I had Yume-san teach me.

Saito: Doing BoonBlack was easier compared to everyone else's……

Hayama: No, it's not easier.

Saito: However, I felt that mine was lacking in terms of sharpness and the size of my movements. It once again made me realize how great Shige-san is.

Miyazawa: We started filming with Haruhi, but he got it done in one take.

Suzuki: Even though he was abit unsteady during practice, when it came time to do the actual performance, he did it with precision.

Hayama: He was really cool.

Iuchi: Boonboomger's Red is cool, isn't he?……

Soma: You're not allowed to say it! (everyone laughs).

-If you had to choose another member's most memorable scene?-

Saito: I liked how Sakito's scenes during the ending credits were edited in (laughs).

Hayama: That was great!

Miyazawa: It only makes sense for Sakito, don't you think?

Soma: And whenever someone left Boonboomger, he'd be edited over them (laughs).

Saito: When it comes to serious scenes, I loved his exchange with Kakeru in Bakuage 18.

Soma: During his fight against Taiya in the same episode, seeing Sakito's feelings on his unmasked face as he broke down into tears was really intense.

Iuchi: For scenes with Sakito, his speech in Bakuage 45 was really cool.

Suzuki: That one really made me tear up! It was a scene that made me realize the meaning behind Sakito joining us, and the performance he gave was truly beyond amazing.

Iuchi: He's very considerate of his friends.

Suzuki: I also thought that it sounded like something Zawa-kun would actually say.

Hayama: It does!

Saito: I also liked the way he and Byundi said the Cleaner's introduction speech together.

Miyazawa: That sequence of events was changed on set. The line that was originally written in the script started with "I'm," but Byundi's presence is one where Sakito feels that he can compose himself, and the moment I saw Byundi, I wanted to say "We're," so I consulted with Director Hayama about it. Masashi-san said the introduction speech with me on set, and I was able to do post recording for that episode together with Hanae-san, so I was happy that I was able to share this passionate scene with them.

Hayama: Sakito's first Change in Bakuage 16, where he had that big smile on his face, left a lasting impression on me due to how strong he looked. Another thing I like about Sakito is that he lightens up the mood in a way that's different from Mira, such as when he went out shopping during the first half of a heavy episode.

Miyazawa: I liked the scene where Genba was confronted with Disrace on Earth, as it was where Genba could most easily let out all the hatred and sadness that Satoru had created up until then, and it also allowed me to feel the burden that Genba had been carrying. Also, "flutter" (laughs).

Soma: You're talking about "Promise the Circuit," right? I said that during the opening battle scene (laughs).

Hayama: For Genba, I liked his "You're so arrogant, Taiya" line the most. I can understand Taiya's desire to bring Bundorio back to life, but I feel that Genba said those words because he had his own feelings about it and couldn't bear to watch him.

Suzuki: I also loved Genba's lines. For his "I'm gonna accelerate you guys" line in Bakuage 7, I thought it showed Genba's composure, slight suspiciousness, and excitement about fighting. There's also the scene where he tells his story to Mira for the first time in Bakuage 10, which showed us Genba's personality, and I really loved the gentle expression on his face.

Saito: I liked Genba in Bakuage 47. When he dismantled the spaceship he rode in from planet Bureki and used it to build a barricade, I felt that Genba had grown, or rather, it seems like he was able to free himself from the restraints that were placed on his heart.

Iuchi: I think the scene with Disrace that Yu-kun mentioned is a great scene, and the scene in Bakuage 27, where Genba leaves Boonboomger, is also my favorite. Satoru-kun had a really gentle looking face, and even though I can usually move on from a scene immediately after we film it, I couldn't forget that face and it stuck with me for quite some time.

Hayama: All of Jou's scenes are cool, but I think the coolest scene for me might be the one where he Boonboom Changes for the first time.

Iuchi: I love Jou's first Change too.

Hayama: It's because rough looking men look cool.

Soma: He was straightforward.

Saito: I literally got covered in dirt.

Hayama: That was good too!

Miyazawa: Jou had a bunch of memorable scenes too.

Soma: Like the Keytarou episode.

Suzuki: That one was really unfair (everyone laughs). When I saw Ryu-kun crying during the wrap up, I was reminded of the Keytarou episode.

Saito: I cried during that episode too.

Suzuki: Right. The plot twist is that the way Ryu-kun cried in that scene is just the way he actually cries (everyone laughs).

Soma: The scene where Maimi and the others seized him was also good.

Miyazawa: If I had to pick a memorable Jou scene, that's the one I'd choose since we filmed it together. Passionate scenes like that really showed off Jou Akuse's character. It might be because Saito Ryu's honesty is also reflected in Jou, but in the scene where he says, "I'll quit being a police officer!," I think that Jou's determination was clearly conveyed, which was very heartwarming.

Saito: I'm grateful to the Screenwriter, Director and Producers.

Miyazawa: It's because Saito Ryu was playing the role.

Hayama: There's no doubt about it.

Soma: For Mira, I think I'd pick the "I'll get married" scene. Her blunt facial expressions were piercing.

Iuchi: I'll never forget the part where Mira told Taiya, "Your friends are here." Even when the camera was pointed at Mira, we were still performing together, but Miu-chan's performance was so good that I started to cry. However, I knew that Taiya wouldn't look at Mira and cry, so I quickly turned away and wiped my tears.

Suzuki: Taiya's facial expressions in that moment helped me out alot, and I think that scene wouldn't have been possible without Haruhi-kun.

Saito: I really liked the way she did her unmasked roll call in the final episode. Her smiley vibes overlapped with Yume-san's, and it made me think, "Ah, that's Mira."

Miyazawa: For the episode where Mori Hinami-san made an appearance, the scene where the two of them talk under the overpass was also good. Both the line that she says to Mori-san's Aki and the Boonboom Change that followed really showed off Mira's straightforwardness.

Hayama: I still remember being overwhelmed by Miu-chan's performance in Bakuage 14, where Mira becomes angry with Ishiro. She herself isn't that extreme in person (everyone laughs).

Suzuki: After it was over, he whispered, "Amazing……" (laughs). If I had to pick a memorable scene with Chasshiro, it'd probably be the action scene with Taiya in Bakuage 37. I know he always talks about how he isn't good at action, but that was the coolest I've ever seen Chasshiro.

Hayama: Haruhi……It was all thanks to my dialogue with Iuchi-san.

Iuchi: No, no, I'm the one who's thankful (everyone laughs).

Hayama: I've been waiting for you to say that (laughs).

Miyazawa: The direction of that episode was amazing. Like how the "I trust him" line between Ishiro and Taiya overlapped.

Saito: It was nice when he said, "Cranked up, isn't it?" to Taiya on the rooftop.

Soma: It made me think, "Are they dating?" (everyone laughs).

Iuchi: His line, "Let's go in a cool direction" was just too cool.

Saito: I like that too. It was really cool when he said the same line during Bakuage 14, with his suit and face all messed up.

Iuchi: I thought it was a perfect fit for Chasshiro, and I was confident that children would love it too.

Miyazawa: I said this directly to Yuki on set, but I loved the scene where he tells Bundorio, "You never ran away." He looked cool as he leaned back with his arms crossed, but it sounded like he put alot of feeling into his words.

Soma: When it comes to Chasshiro, I liked his "ugh" reaction whenever someone was being mean to him. It's a gap with his usual self.

Miyazawa: I noticed that! It's really funny.

Hayama: Thank you (laughs). Taiya has alot of great scenes too. Normally, we'll perform Taiya and Ishiro by looking at each other's facial expressions, but I was impressed by the fact that he didn't make eye contact with the fake Ishiro in Bakuage 37. It made me think, "Iuchi Haruhi is amazing!"

Iuchi: That makes me happy! I thought that Taiya would definitely be pissed off with them using the appearance of his trusted partner, so I tried not to look at the impostor.

Hayama: Well, it's not like I actually cared or anything (everyone laughs).

Miyazawa: You definitely wanted to be the one to win him over in the end (laughs).

Suzuki: Haruhi's Taiya has such delicate facial expressions, that it made me want to look at him all the time. For the scene where everyone sings "Niji" in Bakuage 24, I think the expression on his face conveyed a variety of emotions, such as sadness at remembering the past and happiness that everyone was there.

Saito: If I had to pick a good scene, I really liked the one where he's cradling the deceased Bundorio. If I were to shift gears, in the episode where Toilet Grumer appears for a second time, the footage of him going "Cranked up! Cranked up!" made it look like he was having alot of fun (laughs).

Iuchi: It was alot of fun (laughs).

Suzuki: Iuchi Haruhi's blood was boiling with excitement (laughs).

Soma: I'm going to speak about Haruhi rather than Taiya, but in flashback scenes, you can clearly sense that he's younger, and watching them made me think that he was skilled at making detailed distinctions in his performance

Miyazawa: Ever since joining in Bakuage 16, I've often thought to myself, "The man named Iuchi Haruhi is immeasurable." Especially in the final episode when he said, "Let's all hurry," I was once again glad that Iuchi Haruhi was Red, and I admired the grand way in which he would lead by example.

-A message of gratitude to our supporters-

Iuchi: Whenever we performed at an event, I could feel that tons of people, from children to adults, were supporting us, and we were also very happy with the feedback we received on SNS. There were people who said, "Watching Boonboomger gave me the push I needed" and, "It fills me with energy," and thanks to everyone's support, we were able to see things through to the end, and there was a feeling that we were creating this production together with you. We're truly grateful. After this, we're looking forward to seeing you at Theatre G-Rosso's "Boonboomger Tour" and the "Final Live Tour." Thank you very much! And, we're looking forward to your continued support! _

Matsumoto Rika x Screenwriter Tomioka Atsuhiro

-Everyone's dreams came true over the past year-

"We were surprised at the final battle, in which Taiya and the resurrected Bundorio, entrusted with the thoughts of their friends, settle the score with the final boss Spindo."

Tomioka: That development wasn't what I had in mind from the beginning of production, but was decided on after consulting with Producer Kuji. The battle as a giant Robo would be done in Bakuage 44, so I ultimately wanted Boon-chan to settle his feud with Spindo in a form that would be visible to everyone. Although Boon-chan is a giant Robo, I also wanted to emphasize his role as Taiya's invaluable best friend.

Matsumoto: It's something that's never happened before. Boonboomger was really packed with unconventional things.

Tomioka: Yeah, we tried out various things over the past year (laughs). It was trial and error, but I always thought about what kind of developments would make children, or main viewers, excited and anxious. Especially with Boon-chan, I feel that it was a year where I was trying to figure out how to present him as one of the group's heroes.

Matsumoto: I think it left a lasting impression on everyone and was really wonderful.

"We think that because Bundorio was so loved, the development turned into him and Taiya finishing things together."

Matsumoto: Really? It makes me happy when you put it that way……(laughs). In the beginning I was told, "Matsumoto Rika's voice drowns out everything else," and in fact, when I watched Bakuage 1, my own voice was all over the place, and I was worried as I thought, "Is this really gonna be alright?" (laughs), but I'm glad that I kept working hard.

Tomioka: Bakuage 1 started with the goal of showcasing the heroes roll call and the giant Robo battle, but I wanted to show off that the Sentai Robo was talkative more than anything, so I think the direction of this program was settled on by having him talk so much (laughs).

Matsumoto: The first recording was so difficult that I lost my voice, but it felt more than twice as rewarding. People end up getting used to things, so before I knew it, I was saying, "Aren't there only a few lines?" (laughs). When I met with Suit Actor Fujita-san, we had tons of discussions. I was like, "Boonboom, please do more things" (laughs).

Kuji (who was also present): This is what resulted in the final episode (everyone laughs).

Matsumoto: Thanks to that, he changed up Bundorio's movements!! (laughs). Even when he was in the background, he was very active, so I also had to do my best in my performance. It was like we were working as one. Fujita-san's presence was very reassuring as I played Bundorio.

"How did you feel about Boonboomger over the past year?"

Tomioka: I've always wanted to write a live action drama, especially a transforming hero one, so I was deeply moved when I finally got to write a transformation scene. In particular, the depiction of Taiya's past was something I had thought about if I were to write a hero story, so although it was challenging, I was able to incorporate it, and I'm grateful to Kuji-san and all the staff members. On the other hand, due to various reasons, I regret that I wasn't able to depict the full magnitude of the Hashiriyans in more detail. When depicting an organization that's expanded by infiltrating and absorbing various planets, you need tons of strange looking characters, but there were so many different barriers that kept me from fulfilling that. This is an extravagant problem that comes with being involved with something like this (laughs), but even so, this past year was still a fun and valuable one. The most powerful thing was that the children, who were the main viewers, enjoyed watching the show.

Matsumoto: Everyone's teamwork was great, and I think I was able to do what I was capable of at the time without holding back. Just like putting on makeup, us Voice Actors are responsible for doing the final process of coloring in the characters by breathing life into them. However, I was able to participate in Boonboomger since the recording for the toys, and we were all able to work together on the creation of this production while sharing ideas. I want to express my gratitude for giving me the freedom I needed, and allowing me to join in on the fun everyone else was having. Also, because I sang the ending theme for "Ultraman Neos" and the opening for "Kamen Rider Ryuki," I wanted to sing a theme song for Super Sentai too.

Tomioka: That was something you absolutely had to conquer! (laughs).

Matsumoto: When I was told about the ending theme, I was overjoyed from the bottom of my heart as I thought, "Alright!!" In fact, when we were discussing how I should sing the ending while in character as Bundorio, an idea came to me that "it'd be interesting to sing it with the same vibes as Ueki Hitoshi-san."

Tomioka: Now that you say that, the lyrics do have similar vibes to his songs "Sudarabushi" and "Damatte Ore ni Tsuite Koi."

Matsumoto: That's what I was aiming for, to give Bundorio a human touch rather than being cool. I really enjoyed my year as a member of Boonboomger, and I'll be happy to continue singing "KotsuKotsu PONPON" for as long as I live in order to bring smiles to everyone's faces.

tags via @degrommunism # I have liked him since draft day when I found out he owns a beagle (I love beagles) # but he’s become one of my fave non-bruins or bruins affiliated players to watch # he’s been quietly one of the best two way centers in the game # and a true playmaker. there’s a lot of narratives of him inheriting anze kopitars role as he trends towards retirement which is fun # 88th percentile in primary assist last year # 96th in even strength defense by jfresh/top down hockey data # other sources have him ranked within that range too

putting this here YEAH!!! he's so good. rambles below and a little transcript I've been meaning to do. he's gonna be so good. MAN!!!!!!!!!

you ask any hockey person to try and create the perfect archetype of a player, they might put together someone resembling Quinton Byfield.

At the draft, teams take swings on huge players who are very rough around the edges because they think they can produce a player like Quinton Byfield. the kings selected him with an understanding that he might take longer to get to the NHL than the guy who was also in the mix to go 2nd (timmy stu) and that Q's ceiling, if he reached it, would be insane.

He’s big. he’s skilled. he’s fast. he’s smart. recently, he's started blending in more physicality. once he figures out how to shoot consistently, it's OVER!!! (he is v streaky, a critique in-market media level at him frequently)

here's a little segment of some amateur scouts talking about him on this podcast i listen to, i think about it a lot

from scouching live [1:10:09 - 1:11:00]

WILL SCOUCH: So four of the last five drafts I would say first overall, like... There are multiple candidates that you would legitimately - that you could legitimately consider, if you ask me.

AJ: And if you revisit 2020...

WS: I had Byfield with him, with Lafrenière.

AJ: But beyond that you could, you could pitch a case, I think, for three players to go first overall in that draft.

WS: Yeah... at the time though?

AJ: No, now. Now, now, now, I'm saying now.

WS: Okay.

AJ: Byfield, Stützle, Raymond. And then Rossi just outside of that, maybe. In terms of like, who you would take first overall now.

WS: I think that's fair.

AJ: Quinton Byfield is a monster. That guy is a monster now.

WS: He's a bad man.

AJ: He is, he is ridiculous. He's so huge, and so silky with the way he passes the puck man. And he's quite the intense boy, too. I love him, I love him.

[1:53:20 - 1:56:07]

WS: [reading a chat comment] "You completely forgot about Sanderson and Faber in your 2020 first overall discussion." [Scouch makes a warbling 'auuhh' sound, meant to convey doubt ?] I mean...

AJ: Not over those guys.

WS: I mean, Faber, I think Faber could certainly be part of that group but like, I don't know.

AJ: Would I... Okay, I'd put him, I'd put them more with Marco Rossi than I'd put them with Byfield, Raymond, Stützle.

WS: I mean I'd say Byfield and Rossi and Sanderson and Faber are similar but god, Raymond and Stützle are outrageous.

AJ: Dude, I think Byfield’s about to... I think he's about to take off [laughs]. In like, I think he's about to take off and maybe - there's part of me that thinks he could be the best player out of that draft but, [inaudible] like, grow into it this year and next.

Because he's just - dude, he's just, he's so goddamn big and so goddamn good, and, and I sound like an old man saying that but, he is ginormous and a center and he's fast, too. And the passes he pulls off are ridiculous.

I don't know, I just, I just also value the center position above all the other positions.

WS: Yes, it is very valuable.

AJ: I just do. I didn't in 2021 but I do now, okay?

WS: With Byfield it's like, he's one of the guys that, if he steps on the ice and I'm playing against him, like, I'm scared.

AJ: [Sounding bewildered] How do you stop him??

WS: Like that guy - I mean well he clearly can be stopped because he's not like, shooting the lights out or anything...

AJ: No no, but like, how do you stop a guy that's that big and can pass the way he does. He just threads it in such a weird way, like such a creative way.

WS: Teams are finding a way...

AJ: I, I just love him. And it might be my own bias but I think that guy is going to be, out of all of them, like there's a good chance for him...

WS: He's only 22. He's still only 22 years old. He's just a kid, he's a kid.

AJ: Yeah! That's what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying, he's 22. Four years from now, Quinton Byfield... I'm excited. I'm excited to see what that is.

WS: I wanna see him in the playoffs, like, playoffs...

AJ: He has played in the playoffs and he's been good.

WS: No, no, but I mean, I mean like...

AJ: Not against the Edmonton Oilers in the first round.

WS: Well, or, like... Yeah, yeah I mean like...

AJ: Cuz that, that's all he, it's all he's gotten unfortunately.

WS: He was, like, last year he was - yeah, playing like 10, 15, 17 minutes a night. Now he's like, up at 20, 20-plus a lot of the time.

AJ: Yeah!

WS: So he's playing a lot of minutes now, and so seeing him as a primary guy in the playoffs might be very very interesting.

i dont knwo why quinton byfield isnt the best thing since sliced bread on hockeyblr hello. hello. he kisses his goalie after wins. he dabs with his other goalie. hes always shirtless and silly. he tapes his name to his practice helmet and draws a big smiley on it. hes a big goof. hes got a sad meowmeow backstory (drafted 2OA and everyone thought he was a bust) (he played through sprained wrists the year those accusations reached a fever pitch) (he played through sprained wrists. he couldnt feel his hands). he gives alex laferriere uppies after wins as well. he tapes his stick handle purple. he switched to a tinted visor just cause he thought it would look cool. he was absolutely star struck by the rizzler like 2 days ago and did a boom celly .hello .hello . its so dark in here </3

Unsteady- Chapter 3

Series Masterlist

Back with chapter 3 and the much needed confrontation between Harlow and Sidney. Things are said and pasts are revealed and things are better but this time it’s Sidney who’s realizing something else is up but he just doesn’t know what. Hope you all enjoy and let me know what you think 💙

Sidney sat on his couch as he looked at the clock on the wall, it was 6:40 pm and still no knock on the door. He didn’t bother to leave his number on the note,which he now realized was a big mistake, but he didn’t think she’d be a no show.

Harlow wouldn’t do that to him, she wasn’t that kind of girl. He watched the clock tick further and further until it finally reached 7.  He gave it another 10 minutes before officially giving up and just as he stood up, his doorbell rang “Hey” he said as he answered the door quickly “Sorry I’m late” Harlow apologized “Honestly I didn’t wanna come but I figured that wouldn’t work out well for me considering I live next door and see you pretty regularly” she chuckled “So…what’s up ?” “Come in” Sidney stepped aside “Take a seat wherever you want” "So... what’s on your mind?" Harlow asked, settling in and studying his apartment

It was just what she imagined it to be, dark colors and basic furniture. Nothing over the top and just the basics, no pictures or personal touches were present at all

Sidney hesitated for a moment before speaking, his voice softer. "I just... I need to apologize, Harlow. I’ve been thinking a lot about what I said to you the other night."

Harlow raised an eyebrow, a slight tension in her expression. "That’s not necessary Sidney, water under the bridge as far as I’m concerned” shrugged "No, you don’t understand," Sidney interrupted gently. "I was out of line.I said things that were hurtful, and that’s not okay. You didn’t deserve that at all. You’re a nice person, you really are. You defended me today when you didn’t need to and that meant a lot to me. I’m sorry for being such an asshole”

Harlow’s gaze softened, her posture relaxing as she listened. "I don’t want to make this bigger than it needs to be, but I do appreciate you saying that. It means a lot."

He let out a breath he didn’t realize he’d been holding. "I just want you to know that I’m sorry. And more than that... I hope we can be friends.”

There was a long pause, but her eyes flickered with something between relief and contemplation. She set her coffee down on the table, leaning forward slightly, her voice more stable now. "I’d like that too, I mean we’re neighbors after all. No pressure, just—let’s take it one step at a time."

“First step is a peace offering” Sidney reached in a cabinet and took out a small box “Here, open it” She looked at him then the box “Is something gonna pop out and scare me ?” “No” he chuckled Harlow grinned and opened it, smiling  when she took out a small snow globe “Oh cool” “When Emerson and I bought our home” he began quietly “She insisted on buying all our neighbors little trinkets as a way of introducing ourselves to them, she chose snow globes and I found one today. I figured you were the perfect person to receive the last one” Harlow nodded and held it, shaking it so all the glitter and snowflakes inside could float around. She gently put it back inside the box and looked back up at him “I’ll take very good care of it, I promise” Sidney weakly smiled and sat across from her as he put the two mugs of coffee down on his table “You still feel awkward ?” “Nah” she shook her head “I’ve never really felt awkward with you just weird, but it’s understandable you know” “I feel like you’re holding back a bit here” Sidney admitted “You can cuss me out if you want, I can take it” Harlow scoffed and took a sip of her coffee “Thanks but I’ll pass, really we’re cool. We can start fresh if you want, a totally clean slate” “I just want you to know that I’m really sorry about what I said to you and never in a million years would I ever hurt someone like that” he said “Hurt people hurt people” she shrugged Sidney paused for a bit, he wanted to say something else but he realized her attitude wasn’t just towards him, it was simply her way of seeing things and he couldn't possibly be mad at that. Not when it was who she was

“You speak about things as if you just know them” he admits “It kinda bothered me a bit but I guess that’s just you are”

She chuckled “I truly don’t mean to come off as some know it all, I blame the AA meetings for that” The comment made Sidney choke a bit on his coffee, he set his mug down and quickly took a napkin to wipe his mouth, laughing a bit in the process once he saw her smile at him. A genuine smile that made him feel something he hadn’t felt in years, nerves. “Listen when you gotta talk face to face to like 20 others about life and how we should always strive to be the best versions of ourselves you learn a thing or two” Harlow nodded “I know my comments came off as rude, I never meant them that way and for that I sincerely apologize as well. I respect your wife’s memory and I respect you” “You mentioned you also lost someone…what was that about ?” Sidney asked, slowly remembering the conversation before he blew up on her Harlow froze for a bit, she had been hoping he hadn’t remembered “Oh that, I just um…well, I meant like I’ve lost people too….” she said softly “And I know how much it hurts and sometimes…sometimes we just need to try out best and be our best because that’s what they would’ve wanted” “Who did you lose ?” Sidney whispered He waited and waited and it was like she was completely zoned out, he carefully placed a hand on her shoulder and gave her a gentle shake “Hey…you alright ?” She quickly snapped out of it and nodded “Oh yeah, yeah I’m fine. Just coffee at a rather late hour maybe wasn't the best idea” “Wine would've been worse” he said before he could even catch himself Harlow let out a short, nervous laugh, trying to downplay the moment. "No, it’s alright. I mean, I just…well you know” she chuckled “caffeine isn’t really recommended after dark" Sidney’s eyes widened as he realized the slip. "Oh, Harlow, I’m so sorry. I feel like such an idiot now."Harlow gave him a reassuring smile. "It’s fine. Really. It’s not a big deal at all."

“I don’t know why I said that, it wasn’t on purpose I swear” Sidney looked in her eyes “Please don’t think I did that on purpose”

“Hey” she looked at him “It’s fine, really it is. It just slipped, that’s okay”

Sidney rubbed his face “I just….shit’s hard this week, I don’t know why but it is and I just feel like I’m walking on eggshells before I fully snap” “You can’t though” she met his eyes “I know it’s hard but it’ll only feel okay for a bit then you’ll just feel like shit” “How do you do it ?” he asked “How ?” “Sometimes that’s just life” Harlow said softly “I’ve spent a lot of my life wondering why certain things happen but sadly sometimes there’s just no reason why bad things happen to us. Sometimes life is just cruel and these things happen without that heartfelt lesson in the end that ties it all together. It can’t be fixed or redeemed. They’re terrible and heartbreaking but unfortunately that’s just life Sidney” “Well life sucks” he whispered “It sucks” “You miss her ?” Harlow asked suddenly “So much” Sidney nodded He quickly wiped his eyes and looked at her, she looked deep in thought and just something inside of him knew she was holding back. Her eyes were sad, way more sad than his were. Somehow he knew she had lost someone, but he wasn’t gonna push it, not when they had finally become friends “You busy tomorrow ?” he asked after some silence “AA meeting but I’ll be free after noon” Harlow answered Sidney nodded, taking the chance before he regretted it “I was thinking of going to a game tomorrow, just to see if I get that feeling again, would you wanna come with me ? It’ll be in a box so it’ll be nice and private” The offer had her a bit in shock but still she responded with a polite nod “Okay, sounds good to me, what time ?” “Puck drops at 7 so meet me back here at 6” Sidney said “Sounds cool to me” Harlow stood up “Oh wait” she reached for the pen on his coffee table and jotted down her number on a napkin “Just so you can have it” Sidney grinned as he took it and walked her out “See you tomorrow” “See ya” Harlow said back as she walked the mere 4 feet back to her door and flashed him smile before heading inside He closed his door and took out his phone to put in her number, stopping when he just stopped to look at his screen saver of Emerson. He looked down at the napkin where Harlow had scribbled down her name and number and suddenly felt guilty. Crumbling the napkin he walked out and threw it away in his trash can. He wouldn’t ever betray Emerson that way

*********************************************

The next morning Harlow was on her way back from a meeting when suddenly her phone rang, she looked down and saw the contact name  

“What did I say about calling me ?” she said quietly into the phone 

“Harlow just please listen to me, it’s about Clara…..” he said softly 

Her heart stopped as she took a seat on a nearby bench “what’s wrong ? Is she okay ? Thomas say something damn it !”

“She’s fine, she’s fine” Thomas said quickly “Just that she’s been asking for you and well I was thinking it’s time you come up and spend a day with her”

Harlow let out a sigh of relief and leaned her head against the wall “Absolutely, when ? This weekend ?” “I was thinking today” he admitted “Harlow she’s been asking about you every day for the last week, she cried today because she said you forgot all about her” “I’ll take the train into the city in an hour and I’ll be there by 3” she said softly “Just…will he be there too ?”

“No” he answered softly “It’ll just be me, I promise” She felt a bit more at ease and nodded “I’m heading there, see you in a bit Thomas” As soon as she hung up she wanted to call Sidney and let her know something had come up and she couldn't make it to the game but she realized she had never gotten his number. Instead she quickly made it to their building and left a note with their doorman “Mr. Jenkins make sure he gets this, it’s important” she emphasized “Please” “I’m not the biggest fan of him but since it’s for you Ms.Walsh I’ll personally hand it over” he nodded “Be safe and say hello to that baby girl of yours for me, make the most of your time” Harlow grinned at him in response and walked out just before he exited the elevator and by the time he was down in the lobby she was already in a cab on the way to the train station “Mr.Crosby” Mr.Jenkins acknowledged him with a nod “Ms.Walsh left me a note for you, here you go” “Ms.Walsh ?” Sidney asked, confused “Who’s that ?” Mr.Jenkins sighed “Ms. Harlow Walsh, sound familiar to you ?” “Oh…” Sidney widened his eyes in surprise “Oh okay, I just didn’t realize I didn’t catch her last name. Well thank you, I appreciate it Mr….” “Jenkins, Mr.Jenkins” he nodded and handed him a small piece of paper and walked off Sidney took the paper and opened it carefully as he read her neat handwriting I’m so so sorry but I can’t make it to the game tonight, something came up and I couldn’t say no. See you sometime this week– Harlow

He sighed and made his way back to his apartment before he looked through his trash and took out the paper where she had written her number It’s  me, Sidney. Are you okay ?

His phone buzzed soon after, 

Hey Sidney, I’m sorry about blowing you off today. Something came up and I just need to be there. I’m sorry. I’ll be at the next one I promise. See you. 

He sent another text and noticed it turned green which usually meant the phone was off, he called her and it went straight to voicemail every time. Something was up and he didn’t like it and rather than attend the game that day like he wanted he opted to skip it

Once again in the lobby he found the building doorman,who he was sure hated him, but knew could help him out

“Mr.Jenkins” Sidney called

“Mr.Crosby, do you need anything ?” he asked

“Harlow” he answered  “Would you happen to know where she is ? I had plans with her tonight and she just texted me and now she won't respond to my texts or answer my calls. It’s a bit worrisome to me and I know you two are well acquainted and I was wondering if you could help me”

Mr.Jenkins sighed “Mr.Crosby,”

“Sidney” he interrupted “Call me Sidney please”

“Sidney” Mr.Jenkins started “If she didn’t tell you where she was going perhaps it’s for a reason. Just like you have your privacy, so does she”

“You’re not helping me Mr.Jenkins” Sidney snapped “Where is she ? What if she’s hurt ? What if she needs my help ? What if she’s in trouble ?”

“Calm down Sidney” he placed a hand on his shoulder “Listen, I know Ms.Harlow. She attends meetings and so do I” he reveals “She’s okay, you just gotta let her tell you, you understand me ? Don’t push, just let her tell you”

“You promise me she’s okay ?” Sidney asked once again

“You have my word” Mr.Jenkins nodded

“I’m sorry” he apologized “For being so rude when I first moved in here. I had just lost my wife and it shattered me and I wanted to take it out on everyone in my way. I now realize just how hard it must’ve been to deal with me and for that I sincerely apologize”

“You and Ms.Emerson were a lovely couple and I’m very sad you lost her” Mr.Jenkins spoke softly “I lost my wife long ago but it still hurts the same, if you ever need me you know where to find me” Sidney took in his kind words and nodded, he thanked him with a handshake and made his way back to his apartment. He sat staring at his phone and for once he was worrying about someone other than himself and Emerson. Harlow was slowly creeping into his life and that was okay, what wasn’t okay was the underlying feeling he had that something was up with her and he just didn’t know what

20 Questions for Fanfic Writers

I was tagged by the ever delightful @holdingontojupiter I’m cleaning out the confessional for you, hiding away whatever happened in there. Maybe keeping a souvenir.

Alright. I started fic writing and fandom past Dec. Still feel new. I had like, one forum of friends I wrote stories with for a year and it’s been solitude beyond, this is absolutely delightful. If you were tagged for this post I wanna seeeeee but no pressure. I felt like adding tags in a fun way. If you’re tagged you’ve inspired or helped me in some way thank you.

1) How many works do you have on AO3?

8 - though they’re all quite small I think Foolproof will end up being my first completed ‘story’

2) What’s your AO3 word count?

24,093 - sweet that’s more than I expected

3) What are your top five fics by Kudos?

Nascent Blight

Fuel to Fire

Weeping Hole

Fading Out

Rituals

Dragon Age: The Veilguard right now. Maybe I’ll explore BG3 or D&D stuff at some point? I don’t know. An idea really needs to hook me.

5) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

YES. Okay it takes me some time but that’s because I have to dig myself out of the grave first. If I have a bad day I’m reading the comments. If writing won’t flow? Comments. Brain starts telling me I can’t write? Comments. I must respond. They’ve given me more than they know.

6) What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I love angst. Nascent Blight is still the angstiest I think. Any in Volkarin’s Beloved is usually angsty

7) What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

My magnum opus Weeping Hole

8) Do you get hate on fics?

Nope! Not that I’ve seen.

9) Do you write smut?

I have! And I do. I’m in my apprenticeship. I study @razildor and @thepalehorsevictoria I’m hoping to make it to journeyman with my next release. Hello lovelies. @heylittleriotact you already know I devour your stuff to learn this art you’ve mastered. AND YOU @ollypopwrites almost got me buying gold how DARE I am an anarchist, goooold??? No. Aureate my sinful pleasure. I don’t need finery DAMN IT.

10) Do you write crossovers?

I do not. Or have not. I don’t know if that’ll ever interest me. @jainydoe has me wanting to put Emmrich with a vampire somewhere…no…Hannibal. They should have dinner.

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No. But look. I own nothing. What is mine is yours. What I release is for anyone. Everyone. Not minors. What they gonna pretend they wrote it? Lmao cool do it again. Do it for me if you will. Steal my fic spread it far and wide to more people. I support crime. Fuck ai though. You do that shit you’re dead to me. Mostly I’d be sad of stealing because I wanna talk and talk and talk about everything.

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope! That’d be sick, translating must be hard af

13) Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Nope. But Weeping Hole and Foolproof wouldn’t exist without my producer and Emmrich behavioral consultant @emmg thanks for letting me workshop in our shared space lover. I need you to you know you changed my life for the better when you engaged with Nascent Blight. So many stories on this site because of you, what a shining star, a beacon. You are Worne’s father bless.

14) What’s your all-time favorite ship?

HANNIGRAM I just love Hannibal. I love Mads.

15) What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Hmmmm. I believe in my current wips. The want to finish keeps them, if I have enough content for wip there is hope. I want to write a chode fic like @lavenderprose now. But Maggie. I. You. ~Lavender- I’m singing and I want it to be your voice. Thank your lucky stars I can’t go visit Ursula down in the deep to swap.

16) What are your writing strengths?

Ooof. I legitimately don’t know how to answer this. I don’t see myself clear, mic to my love, my beloved, @caffeinatedmunchkin ~you raise me up~. She speaks my strengths to me so I can keep on digging. She said I can write stuff you can see and feel. Thank you kisses forever. “neatest tightest snappiest prose” bless you and all your words. I want to put you on my will.

17) What are your writing weaknesses?

Actually getting words down for one. But I’m getting better at that. And I think I overuse some phrases or words. Maybe I could use more detail and more in the head stuff. But really I want to get better at getting stuff written before I start languishing over my style lol.

18) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

If the fic needs it, the fic will get it. I’m not going to add it just to have it? I’ll never avoid it if it would be natural to have the dialogue in another language. It’d slow me down though because I’d be obsessive with making sure it’s right and I’m a one language having knowing yank. I despair. I’d move to a land of language if I could.

19) First fandom you wrote for?

I’m going to say Call of the Wild because it made me write wolves on neopets loool. Technically Dragon Age. You know the first RP forum I joined was for the Inheritance Cycle. But being here feels like my first foray into ‘fandom’.

20) Favorite fic you’ve written?

It’s gonna be Foolproof I’m having the time of my life. Emmrich having to deal with Worne as a bodyguard is way too much fun for me. Don’t worry Professor you’re gonna love him. @by-ilmater thank you for that idea friend. I think it’s going the distance.

——————

And that’s all for now! you know me I could talk forever but I love you all and I love even the folks I haven’t engaged with. 🧡 share stories 🧡 share art 🧡 @mistressandry see tagging you as well because I enjoyed reading brushes with death last night!

I ended up rambling a huge amount in the tag, so if you want details and headcanons about the actual drawing again, you'll have to look pretty far down this time, sorry (Also, I ran out of tags after a while. Tumblr is tired of me, lol. I might reblog this more tags later if I remember what I was going to say.)
