#hayashi band

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

The soundtrack going through my head when I read DanDaDan (spoiler warning):

[s30620]

Chapter 125: Let's Do an Exorcism

The Hayashi band arrives once again for an exorcism! Seiko really pulled some strings, everybody showed up so quickly and she comes up with a plan just like that. She's a professional after all. We're getting back into the action with the entire school building attacking us!?

Also, just wanted to share Vamola and Turbo Granny looking cute sleeping 🥹

[herwatch]

i think of seiichi hayashi’s pieces everyday honestly!!

[somiyiia]

Happy birthday, Yoshiki さん 🥳🎂🎉❤️

[1-beansss-1]

Oc stuff lol..

[yinyuedijun]

Read that teaser for the Jiji/E.E fic and I'm kicking my legs and giggling like a little girl 😭 you write so well 🫠

I love the idea of a ghost marriage, and I feel like that it may get a little angsty but it's fineee we ballll I'm ASEAN and I've heard word about ghost marriages here and there. In my country, I remember that a couple who unfortunately passed away in a car accident who were about to get married had a ghost marriage thrown for them by their families. I thought about this when I was reading that teaser, even though both parties are (technically) living 😂

Since reader kind of had the chunnibyou phase when she was younger, I thought it would be rlly funny if she incorporated it into the way she dressed on her wedding day, like she rolls up in some black dress (low-key like Mavis from Hotel Transylvania iykyk) with all sorts of accessories not related to marriage at all and everyone is confused but Jiji is just heart eyes all around 💀💀💀

- Jiji anon

AHHHH THANK U IM GLAD U LIKE IT!!!!! ♥️ I do think it'll definitely get a little angsty but that sorta comes with being in love with a violent spirit I think 😭

I didn't realise you were ASEAN!!!! I'm glad you're from a culture that's tied to the practice, hopefully it will enhance the reading experience for you :3c it's funny because they ARE both alive technically but I think I'll swing it so that ultimately she's saying vows to the evil eye's bones as opposed to jiji's possessed body... I was also contemplating having her say vows to a paper doll. I'm not totally sure! either way they need the bones so her remains can be mixed with his and they'll be interred together (she finds this incredibly metal and romantic btw)

ALDJSLFJAS I WAS ACTUALLY CONTEMPLATING GIVING HER LIKE A BLACK GOTHIC LOLITA FIT BECAUSE OF HER CHUUNIBYOU PHASE but I think this would be alienating to too many readers 😭 rest assured I will be imagining this though even if I'm not writing it HAHAHFLSJS

THE LAST ROCKSTARS

[nanaosaki3940]

TokRev in Final Timeline (Kazushi Yamagishi's Wikipedia)

Toman's Commander - Manjiro Sano aka Mikey

I asked Mikey-kun if he had ever lost a fight and he said, "Only once. To a guy with a regent head who would never give up."

Toman's 2nd Commander - Takemichi Hanagaki

He sometimes makes eye contact with Mikey-kun and gives him a distant look like he's lived twice his life. Feel irritated, even though he’s Takemichi!!

Toman's Vice-Commander - Ken Ryuguji aka Draken

He fights with Hanma once a week. Seems like he had 48 victories out of 52 fights.

Toman's 1st Division Captain - Keisuke Baji

He and Chifuyu sometimes talk about the old vice-captain (Ryusei Satou). "He was very flirtatious and a jerk." Both of them laugh.

Toman's 1st Division Vice-Captain - Chifuyu Matsuno

He’s close with Takemichi even though he's not in the same squad and don't have much contact with him.

Toman's 2nd Division Captain - Takashi Mitsuya

I said, "Mitsuya-kun, you get along with everyone, don't you?" and he said, "Except you." Maybe he is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Toman's 2nd Division Vice-Captain - Hakkai Shiba

He often gets into fistfights with his big bro, Taiju. How can you defy a monster like that?

Toman's 3rd Division Captain - Haruki Hayashida aka Pah-chin

The first squad has a lot of strong fighters. One of them, Osanai, who’s cared about by Pah-chin, is said to be strong at the captain level.

Toman's 3rd Division Vice-Captain - Ryohei Hayashi aka Peh-yan

He has an alliance with Senju and Kazutora who want to win Mikey-kun. Senju’s the only one who seems to be taking this alliance seriously, even though he’s the one who made it.

Toman's 4th Division Captain - Kazutora Hanemiya

He and Akkun have been together every day since the Mizochu Incident when they had a one-on-one fight, and I'm a little bit jealous.

Toman's 4th Division Vice-Captain - Atsushi Sendo aka Akkun

The vice-captain of the fourth squad, Sendo Atsushi!! He’s the savior who put us in the fourth squad.

Toman's 5th Division Captain - Haruchiyo Akashi

Mikey believer. He is often banned from meetings because of his bad character. NOTE: the person to watch out for When I followed him, I found that he often meets with Mucho, one of the big four of Tenjiku. He is a traitor definitely!!

Toman's 5th Division Vice-Captain - Senju Akashi

The captain of the 5th squad substantially Finally I witnessed his cheating!! They were both eating chocolate mint ice cream from Seventeen Ice, and Takemichi looked good as he said, "We finally made good on our promise.” I have to report this to Hina-chan!!!

Toman's 6th Division Captain - Nahoya Kawata aka Smiley

He recently changed her hair color from apricot to nasturtium orange. He was angry that no one noticed.

Toman's 6th Division Vice-Captain - Souya Kawata aka Angry

Apparently, there is a band and he is the leader. The vocalist is Mitsuya, the guitarist is Kazutora, the bassist is Akkun, and the drummer is Angry.

Toman's Strategist - Tetta Kisaki

BAKAmichi’s partner. I wonder what it is about each other that attracts them even though he’s so smart like that?

Toman's Assistant - Shuji Hanma

He's still growing in height, apparently.

Black Dragon's 10th Generation Leader - Taiju Shiba

He's so strong in fights that he's like a wild gorilla, but he gets top grades in school apparently.

Black Dragon's Elite Guard Captain - Hajime Kokonoi

I was following him to try to get some information about Koko-kun, but on the contrary, he took advantage of my weakness.

Black Dragon's Attack Squad Captain - Seishu Inui

Inupi-kun apparently always keeps Koko-kun's wallet, who is careless with money. My fave from BD! He looks like me somehow huh?

Tenjiku's Boss - Izana Kurokawa

Unlike BD and Toman, Tenjiku is under his dictatorship. Apparently, he considers his members slaves.

Tenjiku's 1st Heavenly King - Kakucho

A prodigy in fights. He can compete with Mikey or Shiba Taiju in a one-on-one fight He is my fave from Tenjiku! Perfect! I strive to be like him in the future.

Tenjiku's 2nd Heavenly King - Yasuhiro Muto aka Mucho

The most “personable person” in Tenjiku.

Tenjiku's 3rd Heavenly King - Ran Haitani

When he talks to someone, he immediately starts talking at a distance of one centimeter. As a matter of fact, he seems to be very short-sighted.

Tenjiku's 4th Heavenly King - Kanji Mochizuki aka Mocchi

He seem to like Yukimi Daifuku.

Tenjiku's Executive - Rindo Haitani

I watched him all day long. In the morning, he drank in the park. In the afternoon, he drank with the homeless. In the evening, he drank with people in the off-site betting office. Finally, he drank in the nightclub at night!!

Tenjiku's Executive - Shion Madarame

He often gets sick to his stomach.

HIS CUTE FIANCÉ | ushijima wakatoshi

content: (🦷) tooth-rotting fluff, a sprinkle of angst, cute scenes of you and ushijima, your schoolmates being slightly jealous of you both, reader comes from a rich family, kind of manhwa-esque.

⚠ warning/s: reader hurts herself on accident and while cooking.

note: i remember people wanting a little drabble on this when i posted my 200 followers special, so here you go! :D

"oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh." was what ran through your mind when you watched ushijima wakatoshi officially sign the contract.

it was an arranged marriage. ushijima is knowingly the number two ace of japan, while your family owns a big sports company. this marriage would benefit ushijima in terms of popularity, while your family would benefit in more sales.

soon enough, this marriage would all be terminated once both sides are content with the outcome, so ushijima and his family agreed by contract. you were ecstatic, to say the least, having successfully hidden your small crush on the giant for ages now.

"it's a pleasure to be working with you, son." your father held out his hand to shake ushijima's.

somehow, during the next day at shiratorizawa, word got out of you two getting married soon, and it was all your schoolmates could talk about.

they all chattered about you both non-stop, saying how annoyingly perfect you are together. ushijima is this big, strong guy who has this intense passion for volleyball, yet he still happens to make time for you. while you're his doting and clumsy wife-to-be.

clumsy, you ask? well, one time, you tripped up the stairs because you were too busy admiring ushijima. you ended up with a medium-sized scar and several specks on your knee, but it all ended alright, since ushijima took nice care of it.

he led you to the infirmary, but unfortunately, the nurse was out on break, so ushijima took matters into his own hands. he first disinfected the minor wounds made before pouring a tiny bit of the antibiotics on a clean cotton ball. he then lightly padded it onto your scarred knee.

you apologized to ushijima for worrying him like this, but he brushed it off, telling you that it was nothing. "i don't mind taking care of you. it's the least that i could do while we're together."

the volleyball team was shocked from the news, to say the least. ushijima was surely handsome, but he can be a bit aloof, so it could drive some of the girls away. because of that, the team didn't expect that he'd be the first from them all to get married.

"so, how's married life treating ya, ushiwaka?" tendō joked, leaning an arm on his broad shoulder. "we're not married yet." ushijima stoicly replied.

"yet! he said yet!" your heart felt innocently happy at his choice of wording.

you were never too big on cooking, but to impress ushijima, you spent an entire week in shiratorizawa's hot and fiery kitchen, getting taught how to make the best hayashi rice by the school's cooking club.

"why'd you decide to do this, y/n? i mean.. you'd usually stay the farthest from the stove whenever we have home economic classes." a member asked curiously. you jumped at the sudden question, as if being caught red-handed. "oh! uhm.. i wanted to give ushi— i mean.. wakatoshi a bento to thank him for taking care of me this one time." your face went aflame at the memory of him patching up your knee with a cute band-aid.

you bashfully rubbed the back of your head, "but i don't think my current cooking skills will be enough to satisfy his taste buds."

"that's true, you're a terrible cook, y/n!" a friend walking by teased you while you tried to defend yourself, failing miserably in the process.

"anyway, that's why i came here. to get better." you said, determination in those eyes of yours. it moved the cooking club's members, and they adored your resoluteness. "okay, we'll help you!"

once you mastered the recipe, you added your own twist to be original and brought ushijima a bento. it was bundled up in a pastel wrapping cloth with a cute pattern on it. your classmates marveled at it, awaiting for the two of you to speak.

"what's this?" ushijima asked.

"it's.. hayashi rice. i made it. i hope you like it..!"

you left the classroom quickly to protect yourself from his reaction, which could only go both ways; good or bad. "i don't think my heart can take it if he dislikes my cooking.." you thought.

ushijima had already really liked the hayashi rice being served in the cafeteria, but since this was made by you, he supposes that he can take a bite or two.

and oh, did he love it.

it was similar to shiratorizawa's hayashi rice, but the flavor was more prominent, and the taste was much richer. i guess this is what happens when you have a bit of allowance left from your parents. aka the ingredients were pricey, and you had access to more spices since the shiratorizawa kitchen was a bit limited.

but not only that, he could tell that it was made with love (as if the heart-shaped rice wasn't obvious enough). ushijima had noticed your fingers being covered with small cuts earlier, probably from slicing the ingredients. it showed him that you really worked hard to make it.

he kindly asked if you could make another.

whenever you and ushijima are sitting next to each other in the cafeteria, you'd play with his large calloused hands for the fun of it. he doesn't mind, really. it's almost as if a kitten was massaging some bread on his palm. quite therapeutic if i do say so myself.

a bold move of ushijima that you'll never forget is the time he hugged you from behind for the first time. he was tired from practice and wanted to rest a bit, so he used you as his pillow. rest assured that he was feeling well-energized with you in his muscular arms.

you warmed up to ushijima and managed to earn yourself a soft spot in his heart. even ushijima's fellow volleyball members have noticed how relaxed he's been lately.

the day of termination has come, and both sides were more than happy with what they profited. ushijima had gotten more magazine gigs for the sports section, and your family had gained more than enough money to last them until the next generation.

you and ushijima were in your father's spacious office room with the contract laying despairingly on the table in front of you. your father, himself, was sitting on the opposing side of the both of you.

thinking of this all ending makes your heart heavy, but ushijima never did this for love, so i guess it's to be expected. being loved back is asking for too much, so the least you could do is respect his own feelings.

"i'm thankful for the past few months."

you reluctantly signed your signature on the left side of the contract and waited patiently for ushijima to pick up the pen and do the same.

but he never did.

with a sigh, ushijima speaks up, "is it possible to renew the contract? i don't think i'm satisfied yet."

your jaw drops, and you face your father, whose expression seems to be a playful one. "oho~ and what have you still not gotten out of this that isn't to your heart's content? a sports scholarship for college? or perhaps a partnership?" he lists.

"your daughter's real hand in marriage." ushijima states.

"huh?!" you face ushijima to see if this is just some kind of cruel joke being played on you, but ushijima wasn't one for funny punchlines. in fact, he was always very straightforward.

"that is if.. y/n is okay with it." and now, ushijima and your father are looking at you for your answer.

you nod shyly and look down at your own lap.

"very well then! i'll check this with my lawyer and my wife to see what we can do." your father walked out of the office room, leaving you with ushijima.

you play with the hem of your dress nervously, not knowing what to say. "i saw the way you hesitated to sign the contract earlier," ushijima started, and you turn to him, surprised by how on-point his assesment was, "so i thought that you'd be okay to continue being engaged."

"truthfully, i grew comfortable with your presence. and on days when you weren't beside me, i'd wonder where you were and how you were doing."

"there was never a day where you weren't on my mind." he admits.

now you were feeling dizzy from his words. "i- i see.."

"is that all you have to say to me?" ushijima asks, hopeful, as he leans close to you. "w- well..!"

you muster up your remaining courage and silently mumble, "..thank you for loving me, wakatoshi."

ushijima smiles gently at your verbal reply, it being exactly what he wanted to hear.

The look of… IX: Hakone-Yumoto Onsen

History Although it‘s likely that Geisha worked in Hakone since the late 19th century, not much can be found about their history. The current Kenban was built in 1950 [1]. In the early/mid 80's (before the bubble economy), 400-450 Geisha lived in Hakone [2]. The Otosan of Ikedaya Okiya reformed the traditional employment system and introduced benefits like pension plans and financial compensations for cancelled jobs [3].

In 2000 latest, the Hakone Yumoto Kenban launched its own website [4], creating a space for Okiya to advertise and look for new members [5]. In 2001, the Okasan of Wakita became the current head of the Geigi Union. In order to ensure the survival of local Hanamachi culture, the Kenban became open to public in 2008, and the Geisha band Basara (婆娑羅) was founded in 2009. [2]

In the late 2010's, around 150 Geisha from age 18 to 80 lived in 32 Okiya. Lack of work during the Corona pandemic reduced their numbers to 109 in 2021. The amount of Geisha working in Hakone has increased meanwhile, with 140 of them active in January 2024, but still hasn‘t reached its pre-pandemic levels. [2]

The look of Hakone Maiko

Local term: Kirariko きらり妓

※ Hairstyle: own hair, Shimada mage and Hanaogi mage ※ Kanzashi: Kushi, maezashi, non-seasonal hana kanzashi ※ Make up: western make up or light oshiroi, both lips painted from the start ※ Kimono: Furisode mostly without tucks (rarely with sleeve tucks) ※ Eri: white, white with embroidery (red, red/pink) ※ Obi: Koken musubi ※ Obiage: tied and tucked in, red ※ Obijime: red with simple, rectangular Obidome ※ Footwear: white or black Zori

The look of Hakone Geiko

Local term: Geisha

※ Hairstyle: Taka shimada or Tsubushi shimada Katsura ※ Kanzashi: Taka shimada: Kushi, Tama in the back, Kogai in the back, and sometimes in the front too. Tsubushi shimada: Kushi, Tama ※ Make up: Oshiroi ※ Kimono: Mostly Homongi/Tsukesage, sometimes Hikizuri. Kuromontsuki for Tachikata is always a Hikizuri ※ Eri: white, rarely with white or pink embriodery ※ Obi: Yanagi musubi with Kuromontsuki (white/blue Hakata ori), otherwise Otaiko musubi ※ Obiage: always red with Kuromontsuki, otherwise white, pink or light blue. Usually not patterned. ※ Obijime: light-coloured. No Obijime with Yanagi musubi ※ Footwear: Zori, Geta with white or blue Hanao

Casual/Jikata style

※ Hairstyle: Yohatsu ※ Kanzashi: usually none, maki (蒔絵) kanzashi at best ※ Make up: western make up ※ Kimono: Kurotomesode, otherwise Homongi ※ Eri: white ※ Obi: Otaiko musubi ※ Obiage: mostly warm pastel colours, but basically anything goes. Not patterned. ※ Obijime: Sometimes with Obidome ※ Footwear: Zôri

Notes

Arts: The schools taught in Hakone are Nishikawa 西川 (dance), Honjo 本條 (Kouta, Hauta and Min‘yo), Kineya 杵屋 (Nagauta) and Tosha 藤舎 (Hayashi). [6]

Kirariko is a newly coined term in use since 2003 to call junior Geisha in the age group from 18-30. [7] Upon turning 30, Kirariko have to take either a „dancer grade B“ or „dancer grade A“ test. To pass the B test, she has to perform two dances. For the grade A test, she has to perform three female style and three male style dances. [8]

Companions: Okiya recruit and employ companions as well as Geisha. Companions receive a fixed wage, which is usually lower than that of the Geisha, but the customer pays the same price. Companions can be requested to wear either western clothing or Kimono. Western clothing is a business suit provided for free by the Okiya, Kimono can be rented for a set fee by the Okiya as well. [9] Companions receive professional names like Geisha. They don‘t study performing arts and can work part-time. Their job is to serve drinks and food and engage in „pleasant conversation“ with customers at banquets. [10] In my opinion, a good entry-level job in the Karyukai – some companions became Geisha later in their carreer. [11]

Becoming independent: after being Geisha for seven years, you have the opportunity of opening a branch of your debut Okiya. In all cases I know, the new Okiya takes one or two characters from the original Okiya. For example Ikedaya 池田家 → Wakita 和喜田 and Yukieda 雪江田 (田 Kanji is part of the new name). Wakita 和喜田 → Suzuwa すず和 and Yukiwa ゆき和 (和). Kitami 㐂田見 → Kisaya 㐂茶家 (㐂).

Changing Okiya registration: only possible when becoming independent, or when your (biological) mother, sister, or daughter opens a new Okiya.

Chapter 52: The Hayashi Performers Are Here

This entire chapter has so many classic images, I can't wait to see this in the anime and hear the music accompanying this scene. It's pretty funny that the Hayashi performers are a rock band, and Seiko dismisses them at first. I love how everyone is jamming out, that would be me if I were there frfr.

If you're curious about what kind of music Hayashi performers usually play, look up kabuki music or noh music on youtube. There's usually vocalists, taiko drums, shamisen (a three-stringed instrument) and flutes. The types of instruments fit the makeup of a rock band pretty well!

[idiotsonlyevent]

i keep seeing jiji and kinta being pitted against each other? and a lot of the discussion surrounding this weird fandom-constructed beef feels like there are some fundamental misunderstandings of 1. why some people don't like kinta and 2. why some people do like jiji (spoilers up to chapter 173 under the cut.)

i will say some kinta hate does seem to come from fatphobia - i don't know if people would hate him as vehemently as they do now if he were thinner or just 'more attractive'; however, kinta's introduction does him no favors by having him make some comments that read as, for lack of a better word, incredibly incel-y.

dislike of kinta can't just be be boiled down to 'lol he's so weird' or 'he's socially awkward.' he's like one step away from calling okarun a beta cuck in those panels. he makes uncomfortable (even essentializing?) comments that persist through the most recent arcs. like here, kinta is motivated to act specifically because he wants romantic attention and validation from the girls.

this understandably makes people uncomfortable. even though it's clear that kinta will be undergoing more development in the future and that his arc isn't over, i think there's a real concern that this behavior may not be adequately addressed and that he will continue thinking and acting this way.

jiji.... just doesn't have anything like this baked into his writing. his entire outlook is the opposite of kinta's; the entire arc surrounding and following his introduction is about him being so radically empathetic to the evil eye's pain that he refuses to let the hayashi band exorcise the spirit because he wants to fulfill his promise.

this is how much jiji cares! for him family and all of his friends. there are no ulterior motives. it is not transactional. the manga even goes out of his way to show us that part of his jokey demeanor is a mask he wears so that others don't worry about him.

people don't dislike jiji because he's "weird." every single recurring character in the cast is weird. most jiji hate (and general lack of understanding surrounding his character and purpose) comes from viewing him as a threat to momo and okarun's relationship, even though it's clear momo doesn't have feelings for jiji . . . at all.

they are perceiving him specifically as a threat to okarun's masculinity, because momo is his crush/girlfriend, and so she 'belongs' to him. jiji is a threat because he is 'more masculine,' and so he needs to stay away from them. i think this perspective is also related to why kinta is somewhat antagonistic to jiji (and to a lesser extent okarun): he wants what jiji has. people who relate to kinta may feel the same way. jiji is extroverted and athletic and outgoing and attractive and likable - it feels unattainable to them. they relate more to kinta's or okarun's experiences of loneliness and isolation, so they completely discount jiji's character and arc - even the parts that show him going out of his way to befriend and be kind to the characters they most relate to.

What are your fav musicians/bands?

Also gimme your playlist if ya have any. Your music taste is goated.

I have a lot of musicians/bands I absolutely love and I really couldn’t only choose a few, so here’s a list of artists I enjoy listening to:

- Will Stetson, Trickle, Sena Kiryuin, Rachie (I’m actually obsessed with their English covers)

- Snail’s House

- Kerusu

- Hinkik

- Seycara Orchestral

- Laufey

- JVKE

- wave to earth

- d4vd

- Good Kid

- The Vanished People

- Natori

- Yuu Miyashita

- Ado

- Eve

I love piano covers of songs/soundtracks! Here are some channels I follow and have even learned a few of their piano renditions from:

Obsessed with video-game/anime soundtracks from:

Those are the ones I can think of from the top of my head

If there’s any questions feel free to ask. ^^ And please do send me recommendations of artists I should check out!

Also Yegdreon, there are a ton more artists and songs I did not mention because this post would be waaaaaaay too long so I’ll make and send you a playlist of songs I have on repeat 24/7 (which is a lotta songs)

[thrilling-oneway]

34, 35 and 36 please

34. mixed event lineup you want

Mizuki/Rui/Ena/Tsukasa. Narrative parallels are cool. Also pleasepleaseplease can we get Honami/Shizuku/Mafuyu for an actual event and not just april fools PLEASE COLOPALE. Also Rui/Ichika gardening event when.

35. worst take

Typical mischaracterisation stuff n whatever aside. I don't like when people go "the implied/canon ships in game are member 1&2 and 3&4 of every unit”. Wrong. This only applies to 2 canonically, maybe 3 or 4 depending on how you look at them. Leo/need attack.

Disregarding my own biases for a second. On one hand this idea is just annoying and on the other hand it’s just incredibly reductive of the writing and relationships presented in game. Like yeah sure the 1x2 3x4 ships for mmj and vbs are implied if not outright canon, but that doesn’t apply to the other 3 units (i mean it kinda applies to niigo but I don’t think knmf mzen have to have a romantic reading) and it’s very easy to tell. Like at the end of the day the game is about friendship anyway so why does it matter. Like the writing of relationships in this game is not done off a system lmao stop trying to make everything about shipping. The lineups mean fuckall play literally any other idol game.

36. A theory you have

I kinda came up with this as a joke but Hinomori dad was a guitarist in a band. Hoshino dad used to be a lyricist and guitarist. Did they know each other and does this link into how Ichika and Shiho met.

Also I think Shuuta and Shouta Hayashi are related. We are literally never going to find out if this is true. It’s canon to me specifically.
