Kimiko Takeguchi | Loneliness (Live from Shiba Park)

[kimikoidolau]

Lore time woohoo

Characters:

Makoto Takeguchi (real name)/ Cameron Lew (fake name) Manga maker by Day, city slicker by night 

Kimiko Takeguchi - Makoto’s younger sister, idol

Michael Keane - head of investigation business, is looking for the city slicker

Dylan Hovis - friend of makoto, musician 

Matthew Carney - friend of Makoto, musician 

David Gutel - a music producer and cool guy

Manager San (Nana) kimiko’s manager

(Story begins in City Slicker era)

Fly Too- Makoto runs away from home leaving his sister behind in order to become a manga writer. He is kind of lonely and has to start all over from scratch, which is why he “changes” his name to Cameron Lew

Loretta- he meets someone and they become close, however in a turn of events she eventually leaves him on an abrupt note which leaves Cam distressed

Neighbor- Cameron goes to a new neighborhood around where he used to live (unbeknownst to him) and settles in. He tries to rekindle his manga but it fails.

Juban District- to make ends meet, Cameron begins to work as a taxi driver.  He meets this guy who introduces him to this song which makes Cameron see things (or like the world) differently. Something in him awakens and now he wants to take out his anger (of the girl leaving and his manga failing) on something else and begin a new passion

City Slicker- Cameron meets up with 2 of his old friends and they decide to become musicians. However since Cameron has nothing he decides to steal keyboards from Juban Records and numerous other music stores. This all goes well, but suddenly he is wanted and an investigation service is after him.

Entertainment- in Cameron’s prime of stealing, Kimiko spots him in the store. She’s happy to see her brother again but also very angry at him for stealing. Cameron explains to her everything and begs her to not tell anybody. She agrees but only if he uses this new found musical talent to help to become an idol. They come to an agreement, and go back home. Only Kimiko, Dylan, and Matt know about Cameron’s true identity. To the public, Makoto is missing. Even if they look exactly the same, it’s just sailor moon logic.

Nisemono Era- It’s like the actual era, but this time Kimiko went to her debut and got even more popular. Cameron was introduced as her music producer, and the public called him “her second brother.”  Huh. Anyway, to keep making good music for his sister Cameron continued to slick the cities at night with his two friends, which eventually gets Michael Keane involved to look for them. 

Makoto and Kimiko’s childhood was pretty average. They were both born in Japan, and their parents were..okay. Makoto was the first child, and when he was 10 Kimiko was born. After her birth, their parents just kinda existed. When Kimiko turned 6 the whole Takeguchi family flew into Orange County to start life there. As said before, typically their parents were out of the house or away, so Makoto was Kimiko’s guardian most of the time. 

Makoto grew his hair out during High School and that was also the prime of his manga writing. He would have tons of sketchbooks just filled with Meet You in The Galaxy art. Kimiko would normally walk back home after school, and once inside would sneak into her brother's room and look at all of his art. Makoto didn’t mind (since he didn’t have anything sus in there…) Kimiko really liked the main character Akane and that’s why in present time she voices Akane for the MYITG Anime.

Another thing is in 11th grade Makoto cut his hair and got an office job around town. (Just like the Karaoke music video.) It’s up to debate but I think he would quit like 1-2 years later in order to do other stuffs. When he cut his hair Kimiko was sad since he no longer looked like one of his anime characters. (Depressing)

Now in present time Makoto is 27 (at least I think so) and Kimiko is 17. They live together in the cool neighborhood and yeah. The style of their house looks somewhat like the house in Call it Home bc I said so.

Kimiko Takeguchi or Makoto Takeguchi (#1 hardest questions…)

I actually wasn't ever too much of a fan of Kimiko Takeguchi to be fair with you, not that she isn't a good idol or anything, I just never got into her niche, to be honest! I personally grew up watching the "Meet You In the Galaxy" series and [even if it wasn't the best, I'll admit those ratings do have SOME merit] I really appreciate Makoto Takeguchi's work on the story! My family personally had a lot of his work, honestly, I don't remember how many times I've found myself huddled up watching the episodes leading to the "City Slicker" finale, which, once again, I really have a habit of loving anything Makoto is involved in, to be honest

so.. for me personally? I'd say I like Makoto Takeguchi more, but that's mostly out of personal bias, I haven't really interacted with Kimiko's work enough to have more of an opinion on it!

kimiko wears a low of tiny bows...

She DOES like girlie what are you even wearing the bow for? like you ain't even wearing a bow you're wearing a ᵇᵒʷ

I WILL admit it does like kinda fly Also I KEEP on getting Hanako Arasaka and Kimiko Takeguchi confused Like I think it's the last syllables and it's shocking my brain into mixing them up like they are NOT the same, one of them is part of a family/corporation with immense power over pretty much an entire city, like, militeristically and the other is the Japanese idol Kimiko Takeguchi

[kimikoidolau]

The Kimiko Idol AU is an alternate universe where Kimiko Takeguchi went through with becoming an idol, and never left in the Loneliness music video. This AU is for the ‘Ginger Root Cinematic Universe’ and was made because I couldn’t wait for more GR content..so I just made more. Since this is an AU, I’ll be putting my own spin on the lore. I can’t promise this blog will be any good..but if you’re starved for more Ginger Root stuff then I hope this settles that hunger.
