#kanata ascana

[ai-no-tsuki]

another day of me being sad for the following reasons

ascana discontinued

none of ascana's songs are on spotify so I have to listen to them on youtube and soundcloud and I can't add them to my idol series playlist

somehow aiyuu still isn't canon

we haven't had a new lipxlip song/MV for over 3 months (otouto ni wa himitsu and hahaoyatte don't count because they're individual songs)

ascana discontinued

hello it is i i come to clog ur inbox again hope its no issue... THANK U FOR TELLIN ME ABOUT HANIWA IT WASN'T LENGHTY AT ALL it actually left me wanting to know more !!! could u tell me about the idol series......

HIII WELCOME BACK !! im always happy to talk abt haniwa i vibrate ever time i talk abt it yahay!! LETS GET DOWN TO IT THEN !!

the idol series is a branch of honeyworks' confession executive committee, which as opposed to the large majority of their songs that centered on familiar shoujo manga struggles such as love, crushes, terminal illness, talking flowers, and of course, what happens when your crush moves to USA bc he was too stupid to confess — ANYWAY. idol series deals with the struggles and sufferings of idols in the entertainment industry, as well as the relationships they form in and out of their jobs !

idol series primarily centers on lipxlip ! which if you have ever seen me or spoke to me you must be fully aware im not very normal about them and just Talking abt them is one whole post itself so lets just jump over that. pyon~~!

lipxlip are the introductory characters into idol series, with one of its members, aizo, having a branch in the love series through his brother, ken. this shows that both serie are inherently connected and are simply separated by heteronormativity super silly things!

idol series also includes hiyori, lipxlip's manager and classmate who has since earned her own spot as a main character in love series with her own love story with shiranami nagisa — as well as other idols !!

mona is an angel-themed idol who is also the sister of sena narumi, a love series character and partner of midori takamine AND an in-universe media personality !

minami started as a collaboration character with y!mobile where he was introduced as the love interest of nakuru in bae love, and they have since canonized their relationship in ren'ai thru kareshi no shikaku !

another pair of idols are asuka kaido and kanata ichigoya, otherwise known as ASCANA! theyre part of the virtual johnny's project and asuka was a temporary potential love interest for hiyori up until his rejection of her in heroine ikusei keikaku (heroine development plan) . unfortunately, ascana has probably been discontinued bc their seiyuus are part of a much bigger musical group !

last and very expansive idol group (ish) in idol series is full throttle4 ! sometimes abbreviated as ft4, their members go by stage names in english characters. unlike the others, theyre not actually idols ! theyre a music and dance group with their manager as their DJ and leader, IV! rio and yui serve as the vocals while megu and dai are dancers!

note abt ft4 is that their songs tend to deal with heavy subject matter and their theme in itself is much darker than mona's angels or lipxlip's princes, but they have some incredibly interesting stories ^_^

idol series has various other characters from different media and stories: an example is chizuru nakamura or chuutan, the infamous main character of kawaikute gomen and a diehard lipxlip fan ! there's also asuna, mona's rival idol who has done some... cruel things to mona in the watashi idol sengen manga. additionally, various characters voiced by amatsuki often play the role of mona fans, like kobayashi from getsuyoubi no yuutsu! there are more and more but at this point this ask is. Too long already. IM SORRY

i hope this helps!! its 2 am and i needed this out of my system so im answering a bit fast i hope u dont mind 😭

[yume-fanfare]

I just actually watched and paid attention to the heroine tarumono mv and. is that entire plot seriously that Hiyori has a meet-cute with some guy then Aizou and Yuujiro go shopping and to the hairsalon with her and keep arguing who pays for her and all the time they didn't know that was for a?? date???? is that what that was??? and then when she's supposed to meet with the guy they wait in bushes (completely normal behaviour) and the second they see she's with some dude both of them jump out and act jealous?????

is there a context????? are they just veto-ing and being posessive for the sake of it or?????? what is even happening

heroine training plan my beloved!!! it is so funny the context is just as dumb kinda

ksjfskdjsmdnks so. they did know it was a date, unlike in the anime. the song is titled heroine training plan because they wanted to turn her into a heroine so her date would go well

however, that guy is asuka, from ascana, and he is also an idol!

so LIPxLIP, petty as they are, had already picked a fight with them previously. if i remember correctly, they both shared a training room for a while and at one point kanata (brunet) tackled aizou to the ground because he felt like it (he was practicing his shining special kanata turn), then aizou threw his water bottle at him and it hit yuujirou, who got a nosebleed. disaster.

so, in summary, LIPxLIP saw the guy and went "THAT'S THE FUCKING ENEMY YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DATE THAT GUY."

(in the end, asuka politely rejected her regardless because he wanted to focus on his idol activities and hiyori promised she'd support him)

[iqmmir]

the other gay idols are ascana! theyre made up of asuka kaido and kanata ichigoya, orphans who were scouted into becoming an idol duo <3 you may recall that in heroiku, the person hiyori confessed to is asuka bc nagisa wasn't out of the basement yet :3 theyre rival idols basically but. um. Theyre Discontinued im sorry

Ooh i did expect that they were discontinued,, i mean i haven't seen any official content of them apart from the lxl movie after like. Falling into the haniwa rabbit hole. Also i wasn't paying attention to the mv much ^^; but ive seen other haniwa posts mentioning the hiyori-asuka sub plot incident thing

[lilac-melody]

The only reason ASCANA got retconned in the herotaru anime is because they ran away to another country after Kanata was nearly arrested for tax evasion and they eloped

[incorrecthaniwaquotes]

Hiyori: Would you fight your partner for ten dollars?

Asuka: I would never fight Kanata.

Kanata: Awww thanks

Yuujirou: OH YEAH? I would gladly fight Aizou for free.

Aizou: YOU WANNA GO?

Yuujirou: YEAH

The best boyfriend (Ascana)

also available on ao3 :)

“No.”

“Please.”

“No.”

“I said please.”

Asuka ignored his boyfriend and got up from the couch to take refuge in his bedroom. He had barely begun to walk when he felt a weight on his leg. He looked down and, as expected, Kanata was now lying on the floor, his arms around his right ankle.

“I beg you, Asuka! You're my last hope! I can't do anything without you!”

“I told you that you should have begun to work sooner.”

“And you were right! You always are! I swear I'll always listen to you from now on. And I'll stop bothering you in your Showroom for a month– no, two months! Pleaaase...”

Asuka sighed, but Kanata suddenly raised his head and his eyes were shining and his lower lip was beginning to shake and– Asuka was weak.

“Alright.” He groaned and Kanata immediately let go of his leg. “But I'm only reading what you've done, I won't do your research.”

“Deal!” Kanata exclaimed and sat at the table, already surrounded by several books. He smiled at Asuka when he sat down next to him. “You're the best boyfriend in the world.”

Asuka ignored him. After all, it wasn't anything new.

I always debated who had more content- lipxlip or ascana. On the surface we'd say lipxlip. But ascana does have those showroom talks, and a lot of them. But now lipxlip is rising, we are powerful

LIPxLIP has more music, ascana has more content about the characters themselves and with more frequency

but it's not like they're on equal ground so yeah
