While not being as important to me as Miku's 16th, Rayman is celebrating his 28th Anniversary has a birthday the day after Miku's. So I thought this could be cute!

happy 16th to hatsune miku :))) ive been a vocaloid fan for about almost 4 years now and have to say a lot of songs by various producers have helped me through tough times and also opened me up to so many more music artists that i love
kinda surreal to see miku become her canonical age ngl, also reminds me too that im somewhat growing up given i was also born in 2007 (june 1st tho, im older than miku so thats a flex i suppose)
anyway setimental post but i predict a lot of vocaloid fans getting a bit setimental today. happy anni miku!
#as a fun detail technically there are 16 mikus in here#the two main ones obviously#then i duplicated the line art 8 times to create 16#hatsune miku#miku#vocaloid fanart#vocaloid#miku vocaloid#hatsune miku 16 anniversary#miku 16th

Only one date is ever mentioned in-game, that being 2021. Considering that the Virtual Singer Fan Festa seems to be a stand-in for Magical Mirai 2021, we can assume that the Scramble Fan FESTA! event takes place in September 2021 (the real-life MM2021 was delayed to November due to covid-19, but the pandemic doesn't exist in-universe and MM Tokyo usually takes place at the beginning of September). There are Leo/need Daily Life social media posts that show them attending Magical Mirai, and do state the year of the event, but these can be considered promotional material for the event itself rather than canon material, especially since the characters address in-game that only one year has passed since the start of the story (despite the fact they have celebrated new year's day 4 times now. Timeloop things).
Based on this date, we can actually place exactly when every main character was born. The cutoff date for Japanese schools is April 1st, making Ena the oldest main character, being a 3rd year with a birthday of April 30th, followed by Tsukasa on May 17th, so on so forth all the way down to Kohane, a 2nd year with a birthday of March 2nd.
Considering when Scramble Fan FESTA is set, Ena, who was a 2nd year at the time, would be 17 years old. That would place her date of birth as April 30th, 2004. Additionally, while Kohane, a first year at the time, should be 15 during the event, the game considers her to be 16 due to using a set age for every grade bracket. Regardless, the event setting places her date of birth as March 2nd, 2006.
Based on this, we can conclude that:
Ena, Tsukasa, Rui, and Shizuku were born in 2004
Mafuyu, Kanade, Airi, Minori, Saki, Toya, Nene, An, Ichika, Mizuki, Emu, Haruka, Honami, and Akito were born in 2005
Shiho and Kohane were born in 2006
This also means that Ena, Tsukasa and Rui are all older than the MEIKO software (released November 5th 2004), and everyone except Kohane is older than the KAITO software (released February 17th 2006). Every main character is older than Miku, the Kagamines, and Luka based on this information.
Using the information around set ages*, we can also work out rough estimates for when the side characters were born. For example, Arata, who was 19 during the first 3 years of the game, is 3 years older than the members of VBS who were all considered to be 16. Since the members of VBS were born in the April 2005 - April 2006 school year range, Arata was likely born in the 2002-2003 school year range.
* based on how characters like Youta and Miu, who are said to be the same age as Leo/need, were both confirmed to be 16 years old before the 3rd anniversary age-up. Also Haruka's age is confirmed as 16 at a point in time when she shouldn't be 16. Timeloop things.
Based on this, the oldest living side character, Kounosuke, who was 55 pre-3rd anniversary and 39 years older than Emu, was probably born between April 1966 and April 1st 1967. On the younger side of things, Hanano, who was 14 pre-3rd anni, was likely born between April of 2007 and 2008. I've put the rest of the estimated side character DOBs under the cut.
assumed age as of 3rd anniversary in brackets (literally just pre-age-up age + 1)
Rakunosuke Otori - April 2nd 1922 ~ April 1st 1923 (98 (at time of death. would be 100 if still alive))
Kounosuke Otori - April 2nd 1966 ~ April 1st 1967 (56)
Jean Riley - 1967~1968 (55)
Harumichi Aoyagi - 1968~1969 (54)
Shin'ei Shinonome - 1973~1974 (49)

Souma Miyata - 2002~2003 (20)
Asahi Genbu - 2003~2004 (19)
Kotaro Mita - 2004~2005 (18)
Sakurako Seiryuin - 2004~2005 (18)
Nanami "Nanamin" Hayakawa - 2004~2005 (18)
Futaba Natsuno - 2004~2005 (18)
Arisa Higure - 2004~2005 (18)
Ayumi Tabata - 2004~2005 (18)
Hibiki Miyake - 2004~2005 (18)

Ibuki Taniyama - 2004~2005 (18)
Yuina Uchiyama - 2005~2006 (17)
Shouta Hayashi - 2005~2006 (17)
Miu Takagi - 2005~2006 (17)
Youta Yoshizaki - 2005~2006 (17)

Saku Kousaka - 2005~2006 (17)
Mai - 2006~2007 (16)
Hanano Yoshizaki - 2007~2008 (15)
Additional notes (mod is rambling atp):
Rakunosuke died when he was 98 years old. In the WxS main story, Emu says that he died a year ago. Assuming Emu was 15 at the time, they have an age gap of around 83 years. The year of birth listed here was based on that assumption.
We know that Kanade's mother died aged 30, but we do not know when she died. She is still alive in flashbacks set roughly 10 years prior to the events of game.
In the third fanbook, ages were given for Mrs Asahina, Shindou, Yuuki, Asahi, and Arisa as one year less than they are given in this post. The reason for me adding a year on is because of the confirmation in a livestream of Daigo's age being 27. Daigo is meant to be the same age as Shousuke, whose age was given as 27 prior to the 3rd anniversary. When his age was provided on stream, he was grouped with the 5 I mentioned earlier. Based on this we can assume that all their ages are taken from the same time frame, i.e, pre-3rd anni (and this also confirms that NPCs inexplicably don't age but we'll ignore that for continuity reasons).
We do not have confirmed ages for Nagi, Reki, Sakaki, Ohara, MMJ's landlady, Mafuyu's father, Hiiragi, or the members of ReLight yet
Rui suggests that Reki is the same age as him in A Story Where You Are The Star while talking about both him and Asahi in the same sentence. Asahi was since confirmed as 18/19, so it is likely that Reki is also around that age.
Nagi's age is left blank in the fanbook due to it not being revealed that she was dead at the time of publication. She is younger than Taiga, but we don't know by how much, but nonetheless she was likely born in the early 1980s. It is unlikely we will ever know her exact age.
Ohara is stated to be in his mid-30s, placing his birth year as somewhere in the 1980s, likely around 1986-1989. Sakaki is an old college friend of Ohara's, so he is likely a similar age.
No NPCs are given exact birthdays
#this post is an apology for the fact i never made a timeline when i said i would. sorry this is kinda confusing also#in short just know that we can assume that the game takes place in the 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 school years#don't use that as an excuse to be weird about the characters bc that's still the in-universe year(s) even if it's not the irl year.#this post is just for fun okay? okay.#project sekai#lore

【KagePro】 Additional Memory: 6th Anniversary ❤️🧣
Prelude
Happy 6th Anniversary to Additional Memory, my 2nd fave KagePro song and MV, and the song of my 2nd fave KagePro femme chara: Tateyama Ayano ❤️🧣
My rambles on the song aren't finished yet, but I did ramble about it before. I love this song and its visuals sm~
My thought rambles will be under the cut~
Notion Doc
I decided to copy over my rambles from my Notion doc over to Tumblr.
As always, I'll also include context rambles for the sake of my mutuals who don't know KagePro but would still like to tune into my rambles.
I also wrote a Notion Doc on my thoughts on Outer Science. I actually wrote it first, but the post is so long it has to be split into multiple parts. So I'll post Outer Science related rambles eventually.
Original MV by Jin (ft. Hatsune Miku)
youtube
The Original MV has EN subtitle captions using bluepenguin (EJ Translations)'s EN fan-TL.
UTAU Fan-Cover by Minoru (ft. Denatsu Sora)
youtube
My favourite fan-cover of Additional Memory~ ❤️
I’m going to show this fan-cover ft. Denatsu Sora, a UTAU made by creator Rhea/Ragey. The fan-cover is mixed and tuned by Minoru.
Sora is my fave UTAU from an EN-speaking fan creator. Her voice and tuning are SO powerful.
The OG by Miku is more fit to the melancholic an somber tone of the song, but I prefer this fan-cover for the voice and tuning quality. It’s SO good. Denatsu Sora has an amazing powerful voice and growls.
Ragey has one of the most powerful UTAUs I’ve ever heard. I’m blown away by how strong the tuning and voice are in Sora's voice???
Minoru did an excellent job mixing and tuning Sora for this song.
Intro
Outer Science is song no. 14 of KagePro that released in August 2013.
2 years later...
Additional Memory is song no. 16, Ayano's song, that released on September 14, 2018.
It's about Ayano's feelings of grief and regret.
It is one of my top fave KagePro songs and MVs, cuz despite the simpler compositions in it, the visuals and video editing are absolutely gorgeous.
Ty to EJ Translations (bluepenguin) for the translation of Additional Memory~
I think Additional Memory might just be my 2nd favourite KagePro MV. I love it sm…
I was originally planning to post my Outer Science doc first, but since it's so long it has to be split into multiple parts, I might as well post this one first.
For my other fandom mutuals, if you don't know much about KagePro and are tuning into my rambles, I recommend watching the MV so that my rambles on the visuals makes more sense.
Additional Memory MV: Thought Rambles ❤️
(Hopefully the GIFs load. There's a GIF limit too)
未来の走馬灯 (Mirai no soumatou) The flashing images of my future
Translation: EJ Translations (bluepenguin)
How the backgrounds in the beginning and in the chorus keeps flashing/transitioning between each other as a reference to the “revolving lantern” (走馬灯, Soumatou) �� Referring to the phenomenon of “images flashing before your eyes (before death)”
Soumatou (走馬灯) → The lyric “Flashing images of my future”
The entire MV is very literally flashing images of Ayano’s “future” (death) by having the backgrounds of the school constantly flashing/transitioning between each other
Because, after Ayano’s death, her classmates set up flower vases on all the desks in remembrance of her and to honour her memory
I'm so sure this MV is using something powerful like Ad*be After Effects. Or at least something similar
It’s also possible Blender is being used for the effects with the 3D flowers and desks
In the beginning, Ayano unwillingly watches the memories of her and Shintaro in the red sunset in the Kagerou Daze (this exact scene being a parallel to Losstime Memory).
Ayano reaches out for Shintaro's hand for comfort and Shintaro rejects Ayano's affection (and regrets it after her death)
I love how the camera is panning through the field of flowers (chrysanthemums)
Sidu's MVs are so fucking brilliant
So good, holy fuck...
In the beginning, Ayano's scarf moves much slower.
The way the screen splits in half and the blood splatters... They match the colour of her scarf...
Also in the animation effects where the screen splits in half, I love the action speed lines...
With the blood splatters scene, too, her scarf gets blown in the wind slower.
But during the majority of the chorus, it gets blown around in the wind much faster.
Ayano stands in a field of chrysanthemum flowers, where classroom desks fill up the ceiling above her.
Sidu's sketchy style is so good. For each frame, she sketches different sketchy lines, and putting all these frames together evokes the feeling of movement. But Sidu does it so perfectly, it feels like moving action lines
The chrysanthemums moving up and in and out of view (some getting closer to the camera) really does give a 3D effect
The colour grading and chromatic abberation effects in this MV... Omg...
The classroom desks in the sky are also slowly falling out of place into disarray. The “sky” is breaking apart.
Because of the 3D classroom desks filling up the “ceiling” or “sky” and the 3D chrysanthemums.
...
Ayano wears a red scarf because she was always inspired by the heroes she saw in cartoons and aspires to be a good, protective older sister for her siblings (the original trio, Kido, Seto, and Kano).
In the song, Ayano's Theory of Happiness, there's this lyric:
”Red capes are for heroes”
...
I love the use of minimal colours in this MV, it's mainly in black, white and red cast with dark shadows and gradients.
(Aside from certain background shots like the red sunset with ShinAya, and the blue sky of the rooftop)
Sidu MUST be using something really powerful to make these MVs, like Ad*be After Effects.
Especially since the KagePro MVs are professional animation projects, they're storyboarded and everything.
And this explains Ayano's and the ShinAya ship's HEAVY paper crane symbolism...
The transition to the blue sky dropping down and casting Ayano in muted, somber blue tones is so perfect
Also thinking about how Ayano has her arms the same way a corpse would be during a funeral with the flowers around her…
Parallels
I first watched this MV as a kid at 12 years old.
So I want to put a few things here just for visual comparison.
So, one more thing I thought about was how, years later, Additional Memory decided to parallel the scene from Losstime Memory where Shintaro sees a vision of Ayano falling from the school rooftop upside down.
Losstime Memory
Translation: Sunny Subs
Source: (X)
Additional Memory
Translation: EJ Translations (bluepenguin)
Losstime Memory
"A rotten boy at 18 today too, prayed again while clinging on to your colored smile"
Translation: Sunny Subs
Shintaro's vision of Ayano falling from the school rooftops in his dreams (Ayano as the Snake of Retaining Eyes)
Additional Memory
"Ah, falling, reaching understanding The flashing images scattered Beyond the evening glow, my feelings were stained By a song of regret"
Translation: EJ Translations (bluepenguin)
Ayano re-living falling to her death, in her Kagerou Daze
KagePro Wiki
I'll link this for context so that the lyrics and song context can be referred to.
Lyrics
Song Context
Crane Symbolism
Ayano’s character, and the ShinAya ship, are heavy on paper crane symbolism.
Read more about it here:
1000 Paper Cranes Symbolism
"It symbolizes honor, good fortune, loyalty, and longevity. These formidable characteristics give the crane such special meaning and why the Japanese believed that anyone with the patience and commitment to fold 1,000 origami cranes would be given good fortune and granted a wish." (X)
Songs Lyrics: ShinAya Subtext
The ShinAya subtext in Losstime Memory, Toumei (Transparent) Answer, and Additional Memory…
The ShinAya (Ayano → Shintaro) subtext in this song’s lyrics hurts so bad In a good way
1st chorus:
“I made the mistake of holding you, of wishing; flashing images of luxury
Beyond the evening calm, I light a red light to make a note of our love”
“I didn’t want to ‘still be friends’
My feelings surely won’t reach you
I’m sorry, I love you”
Last chorus:
”I didn’t want to end up as just friends
My tears that you don’t see are swallowed up by the sky”

Ayano's Feelings and ShinAya Subtext
“I always wanted to say ‘Goodbye, I love you’”
Burnt out gifted kid and cynical pessimist who didn't see any meaning in his life cuz he'd always ace everything and felt that even if he disappeared, then someone would replace him
So Ayano always tried to cheer him up. She’d take his ripped up test papers and tape them back to make paper cranes for him, and she would fold papers into paper cranes for him.
This is Ayano's Kagerou Daze (how the Kagerou Daze appears to her). It takes the form of the school in which she spent her happiest and saddest days, and where she died.
I love how all the classroom desks form the "Sky" of her Kagerou Daze
Misc Rambles
Something about the way Ayano will sacrifice herself for the sake of a loved one... In the hopes that it'd stop Saeru's plans so that her family and friends won't be targeted...
And Ayano's association with the colour RED.
Shintaro
Shintaro was a burnt out gifted kid that didn't see the point in living after his friends (especially Ayano) died and was just waiting to die
Ene tried to inspire hope in him by becoming his friend, acting more cheerful and optimistic on person (after remembering her friend Ayano's words that Shintaro needed someone cheerful and optimistic and outgoing to carry him along).
After Ayano's death, Shintaro fed into his cynical pessimism and shut himself off even more and was constantly dreaming of coming to meet Ayano
Shintaro spirals into depression and becomes a shut-in NEET after losing all 3 of his closest high school friends on the same day, August 15th - Ayano, Haruka, and Takane
All 3 of your friends just gone. All in one day. That's devastating
...
Kuroha/Saeru, in most routes, is almost always indirectly responsible for their deaths. He is indirectly responsible for/orchestrated their deaths in most routes (ie. Music Route, Manga Route 1, and Novel Route, Anime Route)
The only time Kuroha/Saeru isn’t indirectly responsible for the Yuukei Quartet's deaths in some way, is in Manga Route 2 Iirc
One thing you'll learn about KagePro is that this mf (Kuroha/Saeru) is responsible for almost everything bad that happens. He's literally the cause for the majority of KagePro's conflict/tension

I’m evolving…
Here’s my Spotify Wrapped if anyone is interested (I’m not adding pictures other than the conclusion, I’ll just write it out in text):
I listened to 21 genres
1. Rock
2. Vocaloid
3. pov: indie
4. Pop
5. Pixel
My song taste is most similar to Savannah, Florida, USA (because Spotify said how they like MCR, Will Wood, and IDKHBTFM)
I played 769 songs this year
My top songs were:
1. Vampires Will Never Hurt You by My Chemical Romance (played 35 times)
2. Absinthe by I DON’T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME
3. Freak on a Leash by Korn
4. Dead! by My Chemical Romance
5. The End. by My Chemical Romance
I listened to Spotify music for 9,272 minutes (6 days) with the highest day coming out to 363 minutes (6.05 hours) and was in the top 33% of listeners worldwide
I listened to 397 artists this year
My top artist was Muse (as you saw up top, I’m keeping up the trend) and was a top 1% fan who spent 1,401 minutes (23.35 hours) listening to them with the song I listened to the most by them being Futurism (2001)
My other top artists were:
2. MCR
3. Korn
4. Pierce the Veil
5. Ghost
I now conclude this by letting you know that I’m going to Spotify’s HQ and finding the person who didn’t pay their overworked employees who created this… “design” (I just wanna talk…)
