Sağanak yağan soğuk yağmur Mavi yaralarımı eritti. Bir gün gördüğüm akşam göğünün Köşesinde gülen birisi vardı.

Daha farkına bile varamadan yetişkin oldum. Güzel yalanlar söylemekte iyi olduğum kadar Çeşitli acılar çektim ama Buna rağmen hâlâ acıtıyor.

Akşam vakti gözyaşlarımı ortaya çıkaran bir kızılın İçimde seni eritmesini istedim.

Bedenimin tamamı Senin yaralarınla dolup taştığından Artık ilerleyemiyorum.

Hey, yok ol, sil onları. Tek dilediğim buydu fakat Neden böyle Sıkıca sarılıyorsun bana?

Senin sesin uzaklaşıyor. Beni yutan bir kızıl. Hiç şüphesiz, bu şekilde seni Öylece eritip geceye dönüştürecek.

Soluk renklerle boyanan parmak uçlarıma Dökülmek üzere olan bir kızıl. En nihayetinde içimdeki seni Çalacak.

Parçalarına ayrılmış bulutların yarıklarından Gözyaşlarım taşıyor. Azar azar billurlaşan sana Sıkıca tutunacağım.

[nomakegirl-blog]

Holy shit I had totally forgotten about the existence of this account. I just found my livejournal a few months ago and I didn't remember half the stuff I wrote there. It's so weird how I have left behind little footprints of myself all over ancient blogging sites. But at the same time I can't be bothered to make instagram posts.

Writing this to remind myself of me, I guess.

PS just came back from Hekiru's 2023 summer concert. It was awesome. Remember it!

Voice Actor Comments: Danganronpa 1

Short comments from the voice actors of characters in Danganronpa THH. Jack and Junko do not have one, but they share VAs with Toko and Mukuro respectively. Monokuma doesn’t have one for the first game, but will for the second. VA names and names in quotes are written surname first.

Aoi Asahina VA: Saitou Chiwa (斎藤 千和)

“She’s so cute!” was my first impression of “Asahina Aoi”. She was a straightforward, refreshing, and pleasant girl. Particularly in Chapter 4, where she becomes friends with Oogami Sakura, the relationship between the two is clearly shown and memorable. In the class trial scene, it was difficult to find the balance in “speaking quickly” and “speaking clearly”. “Danganronpa” is a work I personally really like, and Asahina is my favorite character. I would be happy if you could continue to support us for a long time to come.

Byakuya Togami VA: Ishida Akira (石田 彰)

"Togami Byakuya" is a very intelligent character, whose qualities are different from those of ordinary people. He understands that himself, and doesn’t try to use his intelligence to reduce feuding with those around him, so he comes across as a very sarcastic guy (laugh). It will be even more rewarding if you uncover mysteries or clues, please keep this in mind. As for the “sequel”, your imagination may be put to the test...

Celestia Ludenberg VA: Shiina Hekiru (椎名 へきる)

“Celes” is a girl who is mysterious yet cute, with an enigmatic atmosphere. One chapter reveals a different side of her, with lines I had never spoken before, and I found the amplitude of range and integrity of this style to be cool and endearing. The surreal and stylish design of the entire main story, along with the wonderful cast are also highlights. Everyone please support us by publishing a “doujinshi (!)” at an event! I look forward to seeing you again.

Chihiro Fujisaki VA: Miyata Kouki (宮田 幸季)

"Fujisaki Chihiro" was a very difficult role, and every scene was memorable. In the class trial part, I put a lot of emphasis on capturing the sense of urgency, and was especially conscious of this in the serious scenes. Those who have already played the game will know that it's a really crazy story, with some parts that will make you go "Huh!?". If you haven't yet, please check it out! I hope that with everyone's support, the media mix will continue to expand in a variety of ways.

Hifumi Yamada VA: Yamaguchi Kappei (山口 勝平)

"Yamada Hifumi" is a character type I haven't played until now, I was particularly overwhelmed by the design, and thought I would be more confused, but I had fun acting. In his case, I think it's more interesting to just go with the flow and energy of the moment, rather than formulating a performance. I hope you enjoy the story to the fullest.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru VA: Toriumi Kousuke (鳥海 浩輔)

My impression of "Ishimaru Kiyotaka" can be summed up in one word "hot”. Rather than a specific scene, what was most memorable was the fact that he was screaming throughout. He is always “Ishimaru-kun”, no matter the situation. To all the users who play, please enjoy it.

Kyoko Kirigiri VA: Hikasa Youko (日笠 陽子)

At first, I had the impression that "Kyoko Kirigiri" was a cool, calm and collected character, but as I played the role, I felt the passion that was hidden within her. Specifically, the scene where she was suspected of being the culprit was quite memorable. When I act, I try to be careful to make sure my words have a sharpness that stabs the other person. I hope that the “Danganronpa” world continues!

Leon Kuwata VA: Sakurai Takahiro (櫻井 孝宏)

“Kuwata Leon” is a flashy, fun character. He's stupid, but charming... that's what I think (laugh). Dubbing him is like a sport, and I sweat profusely every time I perform it. Everyone, I hope you enjoy this work and feel the sweat put into it.

Makoto Naegi VA: Ogata Megumi (緒方 恵美)

"Danganronpa" was able to come this far thanks to everyone's support, thank you very much. For those who are playing for the first time, did you enjoy this game, full of unique characters and lines? I hope that after fully enjoying the main story, you will also enjoy the various media mix developments.

Mondo Owada VA: Nakai Kazuya (中井 和哉)

My impression of “Oowada Mondo” was “intense!”. Even if you just look at the visual impact, he’s clearly a bad guy, not seen in many modern games. I wondered if he would stand out from the crowd, but the other members are just as intense. That's why it feels good no matter how many times I perform it. I love "lovable idiots" (laugh). This series has been well received by everyone, so please look forward to future developments!

Mukuro Ikusaba VA: Toyoguchi Megumi (豊口 めぐみ)

Since I was playing the role of a "gal," I was able to relax and play the role in a good way (laugh). Considering her character, I thought she would be the type who speaks before thinking, so she would act intensely in the class trial. However, she had fewer lines than expected in the main story due to certain circumstances... I worked hard on the performance, including the media mix development, so I hope you enjoy it.

Sakura Ogami VA: Kujira (くじら)

My impression of playing "Ogami Sakura" was “cool high school girl...interesting”! The "suicide note scene" was particularly memorable. Did you pay attention to the tempo in the class trial scenes? I would like Naegi-kun to refute many things. I think "Danganronpa" is quite rewarding.

Sayaka Maizono VA: Oomoto Makiko (大本 眞基子)

My impression of “Maizono Sayaka” is that she is a very honest, gentle, and cute girl. You feel like you want to protect her, her excitement in being Naegi-kun’s assistant is the most memorable part. Enjoy the pleasure of debating, and have fun playing the main story ♪ We look forward to your continued support of “Danganronpa”. Even so, being lively makes me feel at peace (laugh).

Toko Fukawa VA: Sawashiro Miyuki (沢城 みゆき)

"Fukawa Touko" uses a lot of curse words and abusive language, and she is more memorable as a whole than as any individual scene. However, I get the sense that she is also a normal 16-year-old high school girl who is filled with love and an inferiority complex. Since the persona that comes out on the surface is so venomous, she comes across as a very depressed character, but I had fun playing her (laugh).

Yasuhiro Hagakure VA: Matsukaze Masaya (松風 雅也)

When I looked at the materials beforehand, I thought it would be a cheerful and relaxed style, but in the main story I was like, “This is not the time to be that relaxed!” I won't say the specific chapter, but the scene where he was at the center of the incident, or rather, caught up in it, was the most rewarding to act. The class trial is played with consideration given to the tempo and the lines before and after, so please enjoy it. We look forward to your continued support in the future!

[shirogane-oushirou]

hi, i'm finally caught up on my dash after being absent for a couple of days lmao ;;; going into a doll-making fugue state and then jumping straight into procedure prep has been. time consuming, to say the least. lol lmao. i'll go through my drafts and post things either tomorrow after i'm back or on wednesdayyy!! (today hasn't been AS bad as i'd assumed bc i prepared for prep day KJANDSKJN, so now i just have to get up and finish at 4 fucking a.m. and then do the actual procedure. sighs wearily. can't wait to eat solid food tomorrow JNKJDNKJSFN.)

MY GIRLS MY GIRLS MY GIRLS MY GIRLS M-- THOSE ARE MY DAUGHTERS AND MY BESTIES AND SOME OF MY EARLIEST PLATONIC SELFSHIPS and one of my earliest """"""girl crushes""""" in hindsight ksjndkjsn and if this is a re-imagining that does the 1st season / 3 manga vols i'll cry so loud and so hard and have a fit!!!!!

[cw spoilers]

......please don't adapt the 2nd season / 2nd half of the manga..... please don't be a continuation either.... the first season was meant to be one-and-done and you can tell (and the 2nd half also has all of the Objectionable Parts of the series so...) :') keep it to a tight fantasy/magical girl/mecha series about guilt and forcing world-continuing-to-exist responsibility onto one-to-three people and expecting them not to crack. that shit rips. the ONLY part of s2 that works is the further exploration of that guilt, but they even made that Quite Weird, as much as i love nova in a vacuum ;;;;;

hello i am unwell. best news i could possibly get on a No Good Very Bad Day.

[ENG] Revue Starlight -The LIVE- #4 Climax Pamphlet Interview

Happy 6th anniversary to Revue Starlight! I managed to finish translating this interview just in time. Among other fun things, the cast of #4 left a message to each of their characters, and it's very sweet :') Translation under the cut.

Q.1

What do you think the highlight of this play is?

Mimori Suzuko: The brilliance of youth. The anxiety and anticipation of facing the future with graduation just around the corner! This world is huge, so do your best! Don't give up, Stage Girls! Without realizing it, you'll end up wanting to encourage them like that... for sure!

Kadoyama Yoko: After all, it's the Revue. It'll light a fire in the hearts of everyone who has watched and supported the plays up until now, without a doubt!

Ozaki Yuka: The theme is "Climax", so each of the Stage Girls must choose their own futures and part ways with their friends, and personally, I can relate to a lot of the feelings they're going through. Plus, there are interactions between members of the three schools of Seisho, Siegfeld, and Seiran that we haven't seen yet, so it'd be great if you paid attention to that.

Tomita Maho: It's "Climax", so there are a lot of moments that make you feel nostalgic. Please look forward to it! (laughs)

Iwata Haruki: Everyone's different paths! The different thoughts everyone's having with graduation just up ahead... and the Revue this time sure is a sight to see!!

Ikuta Teru: For Futaba, the highlight is that I'm using the most physical strength so far this time...! We're renewing the standard of what makes you feel like "there's no way Starlight can surpass this", and it's really difficult, but I'm able to feel the growth Futaba and I are experiencing together each time we practice, so every day is really fulfilling. I'll charge through with a fighting spirit!!!

Koizumi Moeka: Just like the title, it's loaded with a feeling of "Climax"! In #4, what will the Stage Girls fight against, and how will they overcome it? And there's maybe a Revue that will hit hard for the people who know about the plays so far...?

Q.2

Please tell us about your favorite song or line from the Starlight stage plays so far, as well as any related memories!

Koyama Momoyo: "Gunjou [Ultramarine]" from #2 is super super cool! It's so beautiful!!! Oh... Karen didn't sing in it, but... I watched over everyone from the back during every performance! I remember just itching to join in.

Koizumi Moeka: Through the words I said to Hisame-chan in #2, "It'll be colorful as always", I learned about Nana-chan's middle school days, and it gave me an opportunity to think once more about how Nana felt when she went to Seisho. She loves everyone in Seisho, but she also loves Hisame-chan, who she met in middle school.

Tomita Maho: I think it'd be "3･7･5･1･0", which we sang every time. When I hear it, it makes me feel like, "Stage Starlight is starting!"

Ozaki Yuka: "Grand Symphony", the curtain call song for Siegfeld's first stage play. During each performance, when all of our eyes met, everyone's expressions were brilliant, and I can't forget that moment. With the strong message of the lyric "I've made my decision to live on stage", it's a song that gives me a lot of encouragement.

Nomoto Hotaru: "I'll become the star of everyone's lives!", Yukishiro Akira's line from Delight. It makes me think "she's such an idiot~", but I can't hate her, and I can't help but think that it'll actually come true. I think it's a line that really represents Akira, and I've always loved it.

Itou Ayasa: The song "Position Zero e! [To Position Zero!]" from #1 is catchy, and the acting-like choreography was fun, so it left a deep impression on me. The lyric "I want to aim even higher" was so memorable that I thought the title was "I want to aim higher". (laughs)

Shiina Hekiru: The line "No matter which path you choose to advance on, the curtains of your lives will remain open". Once they enter this industry, these kids in the same class will make different decisions for their lives and go their separate ways. It's up to each person which path they choose, and there's a sight they can only see after they've made that decision.

Q.3

Episodes about your graduation ceremony/memories of graduation

Koyama Momoyo: Just like how Karen looked up to Starlight, I also had a play that I'd admired since I was a child, and the final audition for that play overlapped with my high school graduation ceremony...! I chose the audition, and in the end, I successfully passed. I was set to appear in the play of my dreams! I remember thinking, "You really don't know when your life is going to change, huh..."

Sato Hinata: On the day of my elementary school graduation, I didn't have any stick-on body warmers at home, so I attended with a non-sticky warmer on my stomach, and right before I received my diploma, it fell, and it was so embarrassing. I'll never forget it. I'll also never forget accepting the diploma while gripping the warmer in my right hand. 

Haruki Iwata: I happened to be working on my Bachelor's thesis during the #1 revival, and during rehearsals I had everyone from the cast and staff fill out the questionnaire for my thesis...! I graduated thanks to everyone's help!! (laughs)

Mimori Suzuko: On the day of my high school graduation, there was snow piled on the ground, which is rare for March in Tokyo, and before I got to school, I fell on my butt and my skirt was soaked through...! I borrowed a spare skirt from the nurse's office and participated in the ceremony. It was a girls school, but I was popular with my juniors (laughs) so after the graduation ceremony, all of the buttons on my blazer were gone. Even the buttons on my sleeves♪

[T/N: It's a middle/high school graduation tradition for girls to ask guys they like for the second button on their blazer (more here), but if you're as (understandably) popular as Mimorin that extends to the rest of the buttons too.]

Ito Ayasa: I did a homestay abroad for two weeks in March just before graduation, and having stuffed myself full with all the food there before coming back, the photos from my graduation ended up being something incredible (laughs).

Aiba Aina: I remember staying up until midnight putting on flashy false nails, and then waking up at 5 AM to do my hair and makeup by myself as best as I could, but then it was ruined pretty quickly when I cried.

Q.4

A message to the members of your school

Maho Tomita: Every time we spend time together for a play, I realize how truly happy I am spending time creating plays together with all of you! Thank you so much for coming into my life♡

Ikuta Teru: I  L O V E  Y O U  !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET'S HANG OUT TOGETHER AS NINE AGAIN, OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aiba Aina: I really can't thank you enough for coming into my life and becoming my friends. Thank you so much. When I couldn't do various things, without caring about anything like age or background, everyone gave advice to everyone, and including the ensemble cast, I just love Seisho's vibes. Let's keep sticking together from now on and forever! J'aime beaucoup tout le monde! [I love all of you so much!]

Nomoto Hotaru: To the Edel juniors. Yuka-chan and I are both doing our best as Edels. Let's stand on stage together as five again.

Kadoyama Yoko: I love you. Let's keep standing on stage together.

Shiina Hekiru: Keep on struggling. And, do not regret the path you have chosen.

Q.5

A message to the character you play

Koyama Momoyo: To Karen. The view I see from the stage with you is always colorful and radiant. I'll work hard to not lose to your brilliance, Karen! From here on as well, let's continue leaping into a yet unseen, beautiful future together! From Momoyo.

Mimori Suzuko: You went off to London without telling Karen again, I see...! The way you always decide where to go based on however you're feeling—I don't have that kind of proactiveness, and it sure is incredible. And the teacher did say that actresses are always selfish, so I think it's a good thing.

Maho Tomita: Let's go eat some yummy baumkuchen next time!!!

Sato Hinata: To Junna-chan. I can still vividly remember the moment we met. Your personality was so similar to mine, and I was a kid who thought it would be easier to give up when I was losing to someone. Since then, over the years, I was able to see many of your expressions, and before I realized it, I had gained courage from you. In order to make a decision, you need to take a big step forward, and in order to take that big step, you need an even larger amount of courage. But, Junna-chan, you taught me that taking that step can allow you to feel how big the world is. Thank you so much!! And let's keep doing our best from here on out! I hope you will continue shining brilliantly on stage with wonderful friends.

Haruki Iwata: I think you're feeling unsure about a lot of things on your new path, but you're a Stage Girl who's many times stronger than you think you are! May you continue shining on stage with strength, lovingly, and beautifully.

Koizumi Moeka: A lot of time has passed since we first met, Nana. I wonder if I've grown a bit since I met you? Up until now and from now on as well, my star is Daiba Nana, you and only you. I'll work even harder in hopes of being able to stand next to you proudly one day. Please watch over me, always.

Aiba Aina: Thank you for always pushing me forward. It's thanks to you, Claudine, that I could meet treasured friends and staff members, and overcome various obstacles! I'm really, truly happy to be able to play you, Claudine. You're "the best woman in the world" in my heart! I'll continue to work hard while looking up to you! Merci♡

Ikuta Teru: Futaba, I truly think you're amazing for deciding to go to Seisho with just a single word from Kaoruko, and then graduating from there and aiming for a new stage with your own will. I'm always learning from your hardworking and single-minded attitude. I'll do my best with all my strength so I won't lose to you! Thanks for always showing me a wonderful view!

Ito Ayasa: With how strong you are at your core, I'm sure you'll be fine no matter where you go from here on, Kaoruko. I'm looking forward to seeing your beautiful dancing in the future as well! Almost as much as Futaba-han is, I'm your number one fan too♡

Nomoto Hotaru: You're wild and free, and just live honestly on the stage, and you're so annoying, but I love you!!

Ozaki Yuka: Michiru, having walked with you thus far, I have so much respect for you and your charming personality that's hard to guess from your appearance. Please allow me to continue portraying your thoughts about acting and feelings about Akira, as dearly as I can. I'll keep working hard and aiming for greater heights in sword fighting, dancing, and acting so you won't be ashamed of me, so even when you're in Germany, let's do our best together♪ I'm worried that people will see you as a kid in Germany, Michiru~(laughs)

Kadoyama Yoko: There are so many people in this world who love you. Be confident and push forward towards your dreams. I will always be on your side.

Shiina Hekiru: You're lucky to have such wonderful students. The things you can pass down to them because you're you—please wrap them up nicely with deep love and strictness.
