------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It wasn't until you returned to the conference room that you felt truly relieved. There were dead bodies lying on the floor in various positions, and the blood was clearly visible. You only lost two men and three others were slightly wounded, which was quite a good result compared to the total losses among the enemy's men.

You looked at the bodies of the dead prostitutes and the thought crossed your mind whether the women were there of their own free will or whether Kuroda and Nagano forced them to do so. You suddenly remembered one woman who managed to escape from the room, but as soon as you looked out the door, you saw her body lying in the corridor in a pool of blood. You saw at least two gunshot wounds on her bare, pale back. You sighed and went back inside.

Sanzu spoke to Ran in a calm tone while Rindou wiped the blood from his face with a handkerchief and tried to remove the red liquid from the sleeve of his suit with a disgusted expression.

“Job done and case closed.” Ran sighed in satisfaction.

"Not completely." Sanzu said and both Haitani brothers looked at him with raised eyebrows.

“Sato, Kuroda and Nagano are dead. We take our people and goods from the warehouse and pack up. What else is there to do?” Ran asked, not taking his eyes off the pink-haired man.

“None of them were the boss.”

"What?"

“Kuroda mentioned that someone else was in charge of them.” You explained calmly and Rindou cursed under his breath.

“Supposedly who?” Ran frowned, his violet eyes landing on you.

“Sugiyama aka Uchiyama ran straight to their said boss.” Sanzu replied, poking the body of a man with the toe of his shoe, who didn't even have time to pull up his pants before the bullets hit him. “You'll have to ask our friend about that.”

“Leave it to Hanma. He has his own ways of dealing with her.” The older Haitian snorted, shaking his head.

“The warehouse is empty. The crates are in the van.” You were interrupted by the leader of the thugs, appearing in the entrance, his arm was tied with pieces of his shirt, which was starting to soak in blood. “We can get out of here, gentlemen.”

Ran nodded and you started to leave the room. You took a cold look at everything one last time and followed the rest.

It wasn't until you were outside the abandoned clinic that you realized the storm had passed. The air was still heavy, but you felt a hint of freshness in it. You waited until the people from your gang left the place and Rindou lit a cigarette. His handsome face showed obvious displeasure at having his clothes dirty, and his older brother looked at him with mild amusement.

“Don't even start, brother.” Rindou muttered, and Ran's shoulders shook with soft laughter.

“I'd love to talk to Emiko myself.” You said quietly, but Sanzu shook his head vehemently. His pink hair brushed his shoulders.

“Put it out of your mind. First of all, you are banned, and secondly, most importantly, she is not in Tokyo.”

You bit the inside of your cheek lightly and looked away from him, stopping yourself from revealing what Shuji Hanma had told you.

“Until that psychopath gets a confession out of that bitch about where Sugiyama went, we won't find the guy. We must refrain from any actions and wait for further developments in the situation.” Haru said quite soberly and rubbed his forehead with his hand. “Fuck, these people are a real pain in the ass.”

“At least we're not bored.” Ran joked sarcastically and opened the car door.

“Don't piss me off.” Rindou grumbled, putting a cigarette in his mouth and getting into the car to his usual seat behind the wheel.

You sat in the back with Sanzu, who seemed happy again, although his movements showed some tension.

“They chose to kill these girls rather than let them escape.” Ran sighed as he fastened his seat belt.

“It was just a commodity that they wrote off from the very beginning. Nothing strange about it.” Sanzu commented on this, tilting his head back and closing his eyes for a moment. He seemed tired...

“Can we now count on a return to a relatively normal life?” Rindou asked as he started the car and you looked at him interested. “How long has it been, a week since this circus started?”

"Yes." Sanzu said, opening his eyes. “We'll see what Mikey says.”

“And so, it went pretty quickly.” You shrugged. “The key turned out to be Uchiyamas…”

“The key… You could put it that way.” Haruchiyo snorted and pulled his beloved pill bottle from his pocket. He looked at it, shook it a few times and, to your surprise, put it back in his pocket. “Fuck, I would give anything to get a good night's sleep.”

“Yeah… Tempting thought.” Ran echoed him, sitting more comfortably in the passenger seat.

“How long have you been awake?” You asked quietly, looking at Sanzu very carefully.

“Two, maybe two and a half days.” He answered you casually and shrugged.

“Fuck…” You grunted, exhaling through your nose. “I was the only one who slept regularly?”

“You're obviously more fucked up than us if you could sleep soundly knowing what those bastards were doing in their basement.” Rindou said, focusing on driving.

“I was moved by what I saw and took it very personally, but regular sleep is a very important part of our job, so…” There were loud complaints from the other three men in the car and you looked at them in surprise. "Come on? That's the truth..."

“God, L/n... For fuck's sake...” Sanzu grimaced as he looked at you.

"That's the truth. After all, we are not saints ourselves..." You tried to defend yourself, not understanding what the rest were getting at.

“We all sometimes forget that our sweet and innocent Y/n was once a member of Valhalla.” Ran said half-jokingly and you frowned slightly.

“It has nothing to do with...”

“Yes, working closely with Hanma leaves a certain mark on a person.” Rindou nodded and Sanzu agreed with a grunt.

"Not at all..." You leaned back on the backrest and looked out the car window.

Do you really have to wait for any move from Daisuke Sugiyama to get your hands on him and reach his boss? It really looked like the Uchiyamas were the key to ending this mess, but for how long? Bonten has always had enemies, and so far, the syndicate has always managed to crush them, but that won't always be the case. Everything ends someday...

“Have you considered purchasing an extra floor, Y/n?” Sanzu asked after a few minutes of silence.

“I'm still thinking about it.”

“Hmm? Are you expanding the café?” Ran became interested.

"Maybe..."

“You have to finally give us the address or we will find it ourselves.”

“You can handle this perfectly well.” You sighed, rolling your eyes. “Everything is under constant camera surveillance, so if you try something against my girls, I will know.”

“You are no have fun.” The elder Haitani brother commented on this, but there was amusement in his voice. “You know you can't protect everyone in your life, right?”

“Is it threat or wisdom from experience?”

“Sanzu, is your dog trying to bite or is it just growling?” Rindou joked and the man in question snorted.

“Leave him alone.” He grumbled and the rest of the journey was spent in silence.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Couldn't you disarm one of them and take them for questioning?” Kisaki growled nervously, hitting the table you were sitting at with his open hand. “There were enough of you to be able to do this!”

“Maybe it's better this way.” Hanma suddenly spoke up, looking dispassionately at the lighter he held in his hand.

"Better?! And in what case is it better?”

“Ms. Uchiyama... Sugiyama... Miura, whatever you call her... She's quite helpful in giving us new information.” Shuji raised his golden eyes to the shorter strategist and tilted his head slightly. “She is nice and helpful and will tell us everything she knows.”

“What if she stops, huh?” Kisaki growled.

"She..."

“You know she'll only stop talking once we let L/n near her.” Manjiro Sano interjected in a very calm tone and everyone's eyes fell on you.

You pursed your lips without lifting your head, trying not to take your eyes off the glass of brown liquor you held in both hands. Mikey surprised everyone by joining the meeting, but his decision made Sanzu very happy. You knew that your leader avoided any contact with other people, and you felt some relief that he changed his mind this time... Once again...

“He doesn't know where she is.” Kisaki said as he sat back down in his seat.

“So, we have nothing to worry about, right?” Hanma asked, smiling slightly, which his interlocutor left without comment.

“What's your decision, Mikey?” Takeomi asked calmly, blowing cigarette smoke from his mouth.

"Despite the seriousness of the situation and the fact that it would be best to move on..." Mikey began, tilting his head slightly forward and to the side, his white hair covering his black, dark circled eye. “It will be most prudent to refrain from any action until we obtain information on where to look for the fugitives.”

“Should we stay in the hideout?” Sanzu asked and you stole a glance at him.

“No. You've been here too long. Everyone should disperse.” Came the answer and Manjiro stood up from his place at the head of the table.

“But…” There was a note of concern in the pink-haired man's voice.

“No discussion.” Mikey steeled himself and left the room, leaving everyone in silence. There was a sense of relief in the air, as if everyone could breathe fresh air again.

Sanzu muttered a few words under his breath and frowned and followed his King, and after a short while, Kakucho followed. You drank the contents of your glass and got up from the table, intending to leave the rest of the company.

“You already leaving, L/n?” Hanma raised his eyebrows in surprise, and you looked at him.

"I'm exhausted." You mustered up the honesty and your eyes landed on the thoughtful Kisaki for a brief moment. “I have a lot of things to think about, and since we're going to leave the hideout, there's a lot of catching up to do.”

“I understand, but it's still a pity…”

“I'll go too.” Ran groaned as he stood up from his chair with a lazy smirk. “I have at least three things I would like to deal with today…”

“Try to get some new information out of her, Hanma.” Rindou poured himself more alcohol into a glass, stood up and followed his older brother towards the exit.

Hanma just grunted as he watched the men go, then turned his fox eyes to the blonde strategist and smiled maliciously. “What are you thinking about, Kisaki?”

Without waiting for the man's response, you nodded goodbye to Takeomi and the others and walked out into the empty corridor, unstopped by anyone. You put your hands in your pants pockets and headed to your room to get ready to go home.

These few days had been the longest time you had spent in the hideout, and you couldn't wait to get back to your safe haven and close the door behind you. Or at least safe so far. You shook your head and silently scolded yourself for the thought.

You felt grateful that Hanma didn't reveal that you knew Emiko Miura's current location, but there was a little voice in the back of your mind telling you to be careful.

As the giggling prostitutes passed you, you were grateful for Mikey's decision to go home. Miki was usually good with girls, but apparently not with the current group. If they continued to roam around the property that served as Bonten's hideout, you were sure there would be an accident.

You closed the door to your room behind you and opened the closet where freshly washed and ironed clothes were hanging and you nodded in satisfaction. You pulled out a small black bag and started packing small things that you hadn't taken from your hiding place last time.

You picked up the cardboard file on the Uchiyama case from your desk and looked at it thoughtfully for a moment before packing it into your bag. Maybe it will come in handy. You then remembered that Sanzu had mentioned that you should get more information about it, but so far there had been no response from the source. Or maybe the pink-haired man just didn't mention anything because there was no time for it? Yes, that's definitely it. He wouldn't hide anything from you, especially if it concerned a case you were working on...

You checked the ashtray outside the window and sat down on the bed. You looked at the watch on your wrist and seeing that it was already 3 a.m., another wave of tiredness washed over you. You didn't even feel like changing your clothes, but you only managed to wash your hands and face before the meeting, so it would be a good idea to tidy up more.

You forced yourself up from the temptingly soft mattress and shuffled to the bathroom, intending to take a shower, but when your eyes fell on the bathtub...

You turned on the water and prepared a bath with nerve-soothing lavender oil. You threw all your clothes into the basket in the corner of the bathroom, turned off the water, and got into the tub. You sat down carefully and as soon as the hot water covered your body, you felt all your muscles relax. You tilted your head back and closed your eyes, feeling the aroma of the oil soothe your senses. You sighed heavily and after a while your breathing slowed down and your eyelids became heavier...

A cold chill shook your body, and you opened your eyes, not understanding what had happened. You glanced at the faucet, thinking you had accidentally turned on the cold water, but no... How could you do that if you didn't move, and when you sat down, your back ached and a chill enveloped your tired body. The water was cold.

You looked around the bathroom and swore loudly. You fell asleep in the bathtub. Idiot. You quickly got out and drained it and started rubbing your skin with a towel to warm yourself up a bit. You were still angry at yourself for doing such a stupid and irresponsible thing and left the bathroom.

The first rays of sunlight began to stream through the uncurtained window, and you cursed again. It must have been around 5 a.m., so you didn't sleep very long...

The door to your room opened quietly and Sanzu walked in. He looked at you with dispassionate, tired eyes and snorted quietly.

“You look like shit.”

“Did you see yourself in the mirror?” You answered him sarcastically and put on a fresh shirt. “At least I slept for almost two hours.”

"Fuck you." The man sighed and rubbed his tired eyes with the fingers of both hands. “Will you take me to my apartment?”

"Bright. I'll just get dressed.” Your voice was calm. “How's Mikey?”

“And how is he supposed to be?”

“I thought he had shared some further thoughts with you about the case.”

Sanzu sat down heavily on the sofa and put his feet up on the coffee table. He yawned loudly and tilted his head back. You wanted to push his legs back to the floor, but you knew it wouldn't do any good. The only place he didn't do this was in his own home. The son of a bitch respected his furniture. Well, except for the times when he went into a high-induced frenzy...

“I tried to convince him that we should stay here longer. We don't know if Yata gave Kuroda any information regarding Mikey's whereabouts."

You nodded as you fastened your belt. “And Kakucho?”

“He agreed with me very willingly. Mikey hasn't changed his mind.”

“He won't be alone here.”

“I should have stayed with him and protected him.”

“So why don't you do it?” You looked towards the man and saw that his eyes were closed.

“Because Mikey gave a different order.” He growled dissatisfied.

“Will you listen?”

“Don't tempt me.” The pink-haired man looked at you with narrowed eyes. “I don't want to upset him. We'd be better served by keeping an eye on the streets. Maybe Sugiyama will emerge on his own or make some mistake that will lead us to him.”

“We all want to close this case as soon as possible.” You put on your jacket and took the bag you had prepared. You walked up to the sitting Sanzu and extended your hand towards him. “Kisaki will press Hanma to get everything he can out of Emiko.”

"I know." Sanzu grabbed your hand and with one tug you helped him up from the sofa. “I don't like them, but they are useful.”

“Any news from the police?”

“Your suspicions have been confirmed.” Haruchiyo replied and laughed softly. “Sometimes I feel like you're playing for the wrong team.”

"Meaning?" You asked as you walked down the hall towards the garages.

“Haven't you thought about becoming a detective?”

“Are you crazy?” You grimaced as you looked at him. “I wouldn't be there for you then…”

“Hmm, but you could have been chasing me then.” The pink-haired man smiled widely, and you felt your cheeks grow warmer.

"Dreamer."

“Look me in the eye and tell me you wouldn't be obsessed with me.” Sanzu's lips twisted into a mischievous, mysterious smirk and you felt the corners of your own mouth twitch upwards. “See, you won't deny it. Maybe then I would leave you some clues on purpose?”

“So, you could lure me into some trap, torture me, and kill me? Bite yourself.” You grunted as your heart skipped a beat.

Sanzu tilted his head to the side slightly and the smile disappeared from his lips. "Maybe yes maybe no. There's no point in guessing.”

You accepted this answer and both of you got into your car. Sanzu pushed the seat back further and made himself more comfortable.

“Maybe go to the back?”

"Nope." He closed his eyes, and a soft sigh escaped his pale pink lips. "Just take me home, please."

You started the engine and carefully pulled out of the garage, heading down the driveway and straight through the entrance gate onto a road that led through a fairly quiet area to the highway, which would make your trip much shorter.

You drove in complete silence for almost an hour, but as soon as you entered the neighborhood where the apartment building where Sanzu lived was located, the man sat up straight and adjusted the back of his seat. He ran his fingers through his hair and looked at his watch.

“I hope you actually go to sleep instead of thinking about something.” You said calmly as you stopped your vehicle at a red light.

“Shit, I was planning to fuck some whore and get drunk…” He said in a sarcastic tone, and you snorted.

"Same as me."

Haruchiyo's head snapped towards you, but he didn't say anything.

"What?" You glanced at him briefly and returned your attention to the traffic lights.

“I can believe the second part, but not the first.”

"Why?"

“The girls complained that you didn't take any of them to bed.” He explained, tilting his head slightly to the side.

"Really? Do they talk about such things?”

“Hanma and Ran have the highest score. You are at the end of the spectrum. Some speculate that you are impotent.”

You widened your eyes in surprise at his words and continued on your way at the green light. "Seriously? Impotent?"

“If you have any problems...”

"I do not have any problems. My penis is perfectly fine, thank you.” You said, trying not to sound too outraged. “I just don't feel like having girls, that's all.”

“Y/n…” Sanzu said quietly and when you looked at him, he was staring out the side window of the car. “How many years have we known each other? 11?”

“Somehow it will be like this. Why?"

“I've already gotten to know you, but since you revealed your feelings for me... I started to understand.”

You drove the car with concentration and silence, not wanting to pressure your pink-haired passenger, but you had a feeling what he was getting to.

“I've come to understand your loyalty to the people you love... And I can't understand what Emiko did to you.” He added after a short while and you felt his gaze on you again. “You are not willing to cheat. I know you've slept with girls in clubs before, but I also know that was before you said I love you out loud.

“I'm glad you noticed that.” You replied quietly and pulled into the garage of the underground apartment building where Sanzu lived, and the man laughed softly.

“Stupid cunt.” He said casually and shook his head. “What made her so blind? You were supposed to leave the gang and start a family with her.”

You stopped the car next to Haru's and turned off the engine. “She cared more about me cutting off all contact with you than me leaving the gang.”

Your honesty took the man by surprise, and he froze, his hand on the car door handle. "What?"

“From the first day I met you, she was plagued by jealousy.” You looked into his eyes and felt yourself starting to get lost in them. “I felt something pleasantly warm towards her, but only our meeting made me realize what love at first sight is.”

“Y/n…”

"Please. I love you, Haruchiyo, and it doesn't matter to me whether you love me as much as I love you or whether it's just sexual attraction...” His hand fell to his thigh, but his bright eyes continued to stare at your face. “My feelings for you will not change. It didn't even weaken during these few days of separation. You know very well that I am ready to kill for you and I have done it more than once..."

“Y/n, shut up already.” He said softly and opened the car door. “You're tired and you're starting to get emotional.”

You got out of the car without a word and the man waited for you to walk around the vehicle before you walked together to the elevator. There was silence between you, but it wasn't unpleasant. Your heart leaped out of your chest towards him, but all you could do was gently brush his fingers with yours.

You got into the elevator, the doors of which closed with a quiet hiss and Sanzu pressed the button for the appropriate floor, then leaned back against one wall and closed his eyes again.

You watched his face for a moment, wondering if if you weren't in the gang, whether your paths would ever actually cross. You always had the thought in the back of your mind that being a police officer wasn't a bad idea and you liked listening to your uncle's stories about being a detective, but you chose a different path. Maybe if you had a different relationship with your own father, you would have done things differently, but...

“What would you do if you were the police, and you finally got your hands on me?” Sanzu asked quietly, looking at you with narrowed eyes.

“I would die?” You answered without hesitation, and a look appeared on Haruchiyo's handsome face, wondering if you were completely nuts.

"You would die?"

“You would definitely shoot me or attack me with a katana.” You shrugged.

"You do not know that. Maybe I could have some fun with you..."

“Would you have that much time?”

Sanzu purred, the scarred corners of his mouth turning up in a sweet yet mischievous smirk. “I always have time to have fun, Y/n.”

You looked down and laughed quietly. "I know that."

"But seriously. Would you try to kill me?” The serious tone in Haruchiyo's voice made you look at him again.

“No. I would rather try to disable you. I wouldn't let you get away without punishment.”

"Liar."

You looked down again, feeling your cheeks flush. You usually weren't ashamed when people caught you in even the smallest lies, although it was very rare indeed. Rarely did people see through your lies. You didn't like lying to others, but it was Sanzu and Hanma who showed you that sometimes a good lie goes a long way.

“If I hadn't tried to kill you…” The pink-haired man spoke again, still leaning against the wall of the elevator. “If I let you get closer to me. What would you do? Don't try to lie this time.”

You thought for a moment and your heart started beating faster again. You knew what you would do, because despite the difficulty of admitting it to yourself, you had only one thing on your mind from day one.

“If I worked for the police and you let me get close to you…” You began calmly, slowly walking towards Sanzu, who was watching your every move with narrowed eyes. “I would do one thing.”

"Meaning?" His voice was hushed and feeling his pleasant scent, you couldn't hold back anymore. You stopped right in front of him, your body brushing gently against his and you leaned forward, focusing your gaze on his slightly parted, pink lips.

"I'd do that." You whispered and connected your lips with his for a long moment. He didn't protest.

His lips were deliciously warm, and their softness was tempting, so, unrestrained by the dangerous gangster, you placed one hand on the back of his neck and deepened the kiss. He took in more air through his nose and his lips moved in response to the caress, and after a short while you felt his tongue slip into your mouth and your body responded involuntarily, pressing Sanzu against the wall of the elevator he was leaning against.

The atmosphere in this small space was starting to get hotter, and when you felt the slim, yet strong hand of the pink-haired man on your back, you knew you were about to burst and lose control...

“Y/n…” He said softly, his voice slightly hoarse as he removed his lips from yours and his hot breath fanned over your face.

“I'm sorry…” Your lips brushed against his again, but you pulled away and laughed softly. “I guess I could be easily bribed.”

“Hmm, corrupt cop, huh?” His red, shiny lips stretched into a mischievous smile and your eyes met. His beautiful eyes sparkled playfully. “I like this vision.”

“It doesn't particularly bother me either.” You laughed again and Sanzu bit his lower lip gently.

“Are you in a hurry to get to your house?”

"Why are you asking?"

He looked deep into your eyes, his pupils dilated as usual, except this time it wasn't because of the drugs, and you felt a pleasant shiver.

“I think I'm going to need a little help falling asleep…” His eyes moved to your lips, and he brought his face closer to yours.

“I'm here to help…” You replied, and as soon as the elevator stopped at his floor, you followed Haruchiyo without the slightest objection.

Jigoku-no-Hanazono: Office Royale (2021) *spoilers*

Never thought I’d see the cute Mei Nagano kicking butt as a delinquent alongside Alice Hirose who does the same!

It’s a funny movie about office ladies of different cliques at work forming their own gang to exert dominance over the company. Mei Nagano manage to remain neutral thus far without getting involve in any gang, going about her daily work life with two of her colleagues who are the same as her.

As the gang war continues, a new employee, Alice Hirose arrives and upset the balance of power when she got caught in the middle. But she proves to be the strongest fighter of them all emerging as the ultimate victor, being able to take on them all single handedly, unifying the different gangs under her leadership.

Although good in fighting, Alice Hirose struggles at her job and learns from her senior, Mei Nagano. She began to like her and they got very close. Her reputation of her prowess reach the rival gangs from other companies who wants to challenge her by kidnapping Mei Nagano to lure her into a trap.

Alice Hirose is furious that she confronted the rival gang alone wanting to take them all down single-handedly as she always does, against the advice of her own gangs as the new rival is known to be much more formidable and ferocious as she later learn when she was taken down after several intense duels.

This is where the story takes an interesting turn. Upon seeing Alice Hirose being knocked out unconscious for the first time, Mei Nagano decides to take matters into her own hands and save her instead, revealing her true nature as a fighter as well, something she hid from everyone including Alice Hirose.

It is revealed that she grew up in a family of delinquents where she’s the youngest, learning to fight from her elder brothers. But she resented fighting and doesn’t want to get involve in gang wars like her brothers, as she prefers a simple normal life as an office lady like everyone else.

While Alice Hirose gang believes her to be the one to take down the new rival on her own, only the rival knows that it was Mei Nagano was the one who took them down. Mei Nagano though their defeat would deter them from appearing in her life and life goes on with Alice Hirose as the leader of the gang.

But things did not go to plan as the rival shows up again, this time with their undefeated boss who wants to challenge Mei Nagano to a duel. Meanwhile, Alice Hirose’s pride is hurt being defeated for the first time and with the gang learning the truth, that she too wants to fight Mei Nagano.

It’s a fun movie to watch, it’s as crazy as Kyō Kara Ore Wa!! which features female fighters fighting delinquents too (Kanna Hashimoto and Seino Nana). I like the strong chemistry between Alice Hirose and Mei Nagano, and seeing them kicking butts, which makes the movie entertaining to watch.

Tokyo-Kontrastprogramm

Als erster Tagespunkt stand heute der Check-Out an. Wegen der anderen Gäste im Schlafsaal hatte ich mein Wecker nur auf Vibrieren eingestellt. Bisher bin ich trotzdem immer davon aufgewacht, bis auf heute... 😅 Der Check-Out war bis um 10 Uhr möglich, danach hätte man etwas drauf zahlen müssen. Zum Glück habe ich dann um kurz nach 9 Uhr spontan auf mein Handy geschaut. Somit musste ich mich nicht komplett stressen und konnte checken, ob ich alles dabei habe. Im Nachhinein war ich aber doppelt froh, dass ich meinen großen Rucksack bereits über den Gepäcktransport an meine neue Unterkunft liefern ließ.

Nach dem erfolgreichen Check-Out stellte ich beim Verlassen des Gebäudes fest, dass der angekündigte Regen bereits voll im Gange war. Der Weg zur Bahnstation war aber nicht weit und danach war ich zumindest für die größte Zeit sowieso mit dem Zug unterwegs oder im Bahnhofsgebäude. Dementsprechend konnte ich mich mit dem Regenwetter schnell abfinden. Eine Sache ist mir aber direkt aufgefallen: Regenschirme > Regenjacken oder Ähnliches. Da ich mich auf meine neue Regenjacke verließ, hatte ich keinen Schirm dabei. Damit war ich jedoch so gut wie der Einzige, da ansonsten jeder unter einem Schirm Schutz vorm Regen suchte. Mit der Bahn ging es dann erstmal zum Hauptbahnhof in Tokyo. Dort konnte ich mir meinen JR-Railpass-Gutschein zum richtigen Ticket umtauschen lassen, welches für 21 Tage gültig ist. Damit darf ich alle JR-Linien und so gut wie alle Shinkansen-Strecken fahren. Für den Stadtverkehr lohnt sich das Ticket noch nicht wirklich, da U-Bahnen und spezielle Bahnen nicht zum JR-Verbund gehören. Dementsprechend habe ich bis zu meiner ersten Shinkansen-Fahrt darauf gewartet. Mit dem JR Hokuriku Shinkansen gelangt man von Tokyo nach Kanazawa, dem Ort meiner nächsten Unterkunft.

Eigentlich wollte ich auf dem Weg dorthin einen Zwischenstopp in Kairuzawa machen. Leider habe ich erst später festgestellt, dass die von mir gewählte Verbindung dort keinen Halt macht. Dementsprechend änderte ich meine Planung etwas und machte Halt in Nagano, wo ich eigentlich auf dem Rückweg vorbeischauen wollte. Die Shinkansen-Fahrt lief sehr gemütlich ab. Man muss nur etwas darauf achten, dass man in den richtigen Waggon einsteigt. Es gibt extra Waggons für reservierte Plätze, nicht reservierbare Plätze und Premium-Plätze. Wie ich dann aber noch festgestellt habe, kann ich mit dem JR-Railpass kostenlos immer einen Sitzplatz reservieren. Das erscheint mir sehr nützlich, vor allem wenn der Zug irgendwann mal etwas voller sein sollte. Bei meinem Halt in Nagano hat der Regen leider noch nicht abgeklungen, weshalb ich meinen Aufenthalt bereits im Voraus kürzer zu gestalten. Ich hätte mir gerne Teile der Olympia-Sportstätten von 1998 angesehen, aber diese waren leider etwas außerhalb und waren selbst mit der Bahn über eine Stunde entfernt. Ich entschied mich somit nur für einen Besuch des Tempels Shinshū Zenkō-ji. Durch den Regen wanderte ich circa eine halbe Stunde, wobei die letzten paar Meter durch die schöne Zenkoji Nakamise Straße führten und man immer mehr das prächtige Tempelgelände erahnen kann. Meine neue Regenjacke hat den Qualitätscheck auf jeden Fall bestanden und ich war erstaunt, dass meine Socken auch so gut wie trocken geblieben sind.

Wegen des Regens entschied ich mich für ein Ticket um das Tempelinnere zu betreten. Dabei hatte ich eigentlich etwas anderes erwartet, als es im Endeffekt war. Nachdem man sich die Schuhe auszog lief man in Richtung des Tempelaltars und konnte dann eine Treppe in gefühlt komplette Dunkelheit hinabsteigen. Zwar gab es eine englische Erklärung, aber mir wurde erst klar auf was ich mich eingelassen habe, als es keinen Weg zurück gab 😂 Der Gang war stockfinster und man konnte maximal durch Teelichter erkennen, ob diese durch jemand verdeckt wurden oder nicht. Man konnte sich nur durch Tasten in dem Tunnel fort bewegen. Vor dem Hinabgehen wird man auch darauf hingewiesen, alles aus der rechten Hand zu nehmen und mit dieser die Wände abzutasten. Man lief dann einen kleinen Rundgang und auf der Mitte des Wegs war ein Griff, welcher auch als "Türschloss zum Paradies“ bezeichnet wird und beim Berühren, die Erleuchtung ermöglichen soll. Die Stimmen der Besucher vor mir beruhigten mich ein wenig, auch wenn ich echt nicht für solche Sachen gemacht bin. Aber damit hat sich der Ausflug nach Nagano auf jeden Fall schon gelohnt gehabt. Nach dem Verlassen des Tempelgeländes ging es dann wieder Richtung Bahnhof und mit dem Shinkansen weiter nach Kanazawa.

Dort angekommen, war der Regen zum Glück abgeklungen. Um nicht 30 Minuten zur Unterkunft laufen zu müssen, wollte ich die Buslinie nehmen. Das stellte sich aber als gar nicht so einfach heraus. Erstens konnte ich mit Google Maps und den Angaben an den Bushaltestellen zunächst nicht wirklich 100% ermitteln, welche jetzt die richtige Linie ist, und zweitens stellte ich dann im Bus fest, dass meine Suica-Card hier nicht funktioniert. Am Schalter wurde ich dann aber freundlicherweise aufgeklärt und mir wurde die einzige Buslinie gezeigt, bei der man auch mit der Suica-Card zahlen konnte. Diese hielt dann auch an meiner gewünschten Haltestelle und von dort aus machte ich mich dann auf zum Hotel, wo ich ohne Probleme einchecken konnte. Im Vergleich zu meiner Kapsel in Tokyo habe ich mein Unterkunftsverhältnisse auf jeden Fall verbessert. Von einer Matratze in einer Minikapsel zu zwei großen Einzelbetten in einem kleinen Raum. 😂 Mein Gepäck hat es glücklicherweise auch von Tokyo nach Kanazawa geschafft und wartete bereits auf mich in meinem Hotelzimmer. Nach ein wenig Entspannung raffte ich mich nochmal auf, damit ich den Abend nicht im Hotel vergeude. Ich machte einen Spaziergang das Gebiet um meine Unterkunft herum und bewegte mich schon einmal Richtung Burg und den dazugehörigen Gärten. Wie ich schon vermutete, waren diese aber um diese Zeit abgesperrt und ließen keine schönen Nachtbilder zu. Wenigstens konnte man teilweise die beleuchteten Außenmauern betrachten. Fast keine Menschenseele außer mir war hier unterwegs, weshalb ich mich schon hinterfragte, ob ich überhaupt im Zentrum Kanazawas bin. Als ich mich dann aber einer Straße voller Restaurants, Bars und Nachtclubs näherte, war ich dann doch wieder von ein paar Menschen umgeben. Im Vergleich zu Tokyo war es dann aber trotzdem ein Riesenunterschied. Ich bin gespannt, wie es am morgigen Tag aussieht. Ich drehte noch eine weitere Runde und verspeiste nach langem Überlegen, was ich essen soll, eine Portion Takoyaki. Da es schon spät war, war ich mir nicht sicher, wie lange die Küchen der Restaurants noch offen haben. Außerdem hatte ich nicht so großen Hunger, weshalb mir die Takoyaki-Portion ausreichte. Ich bin gespannt, ob ich ohne die Geräuschkulisse aus dem Kapselhotel überhaupt richtig schlafen kann.

AQOURSCANON: Let's imagine it once and for all (Codename: Aqours Midnight Hour)

April Fools is close by and this day was infamous for bringing some odd ideas to life for Aqours. From CYAZALEA Kiss, to teasing Genjitsu no Yohane into reality, I'm beginning to wonder if Ruby will be next to receive a spinoff.

Hear me out...just for a moment.

[Actually fuck this. My idea is more seiyuu focused, because KU-RU-KU-RU Cruller was cruel to Ruby, especially since city pop is Furi's specialty].

Currently, it is under the conceptual development as "Aqours: Midnight Hour". The story does feature more than just Aqours; including other members from other idol groups as supporting or guests/cameo.

The synopsis takes place in an alternate Tokyo in the near future, where the 80s aesthetic never died. Furirin, who was Emitsun's partner for a few years, decides to move to Tokyo for more work after her hometown's crime rate depleted significantly. Now, the Nagano native has to adapt to the never-ending chaos of the city.

However, the current state of Tokyo was under the scrutiny of a gang war between the Suwa Clan of Saitama and Komiya Clan of Tochigi, after the sudden disappearance of Aina Suzuki. Suzuki, who was Naho's romantic partner after the disbanding of Aqours in 2026, went missing after a live performance in Akihabara; leaving Naho to blame for possibly murdering her.

While reuniting with Aika, now a fortune teller in a rundown building beside an old nightclub, Furirin interferes with the local police and saved Naho from possible prosecution proving she had no motive or involvement in the assumed death of Aina Suzuki. Now, the former clan leader makes a promise to accompany Furirin as her crime partner as they investigate the case. Though, finding the answer to the missing former Aqours member is not the only issue around here.

--Not when there are rumors of a secret third clan from Hyogo also lurking around, a rivalry between Inamin and RKK, a foreigner detective, who is a huge fan of Furirin, investigating an unusual paranormal activity affecting Shibuya and nearby districts, plus an underground Communist cult holding a local beer distributor hostage; will Furirin and Naho be able to handle all these cases on top of the ongoing reign of the Komiya Clan?--

(Oh, and Shuka became a millionaire off of yacht rentals...)

======

As it stands, it is not set in stone if I wish to proceed with this potential fanfic. I do want to at least share this headcanon though. Maybe we'll get a surprise next week over it.

#personal #aqours #headcanon #love live #I've done it now...

What’s Out This Week? 3/15

Spring is just days away, so grab some new reads when you go to stock up on allergy meds!

Ancient Enemies: The Djinni #1 - Kevin VanHook, Dan DiDio, José Luis, Jonas Trindade Danilo Beyruth, & Joe Prado

Spinning out from the pages of ANCIENT ENEMIES, we spotlight THE DJINNI, a mysterious half-human / half-alien creature born from the wreckage of a crashed spaceship. This book reveals his secret origin as he struggles with his alien birthright and his mission to kill an opponent he never met.

Bea Wolf GN - Zach Weinersmith & Boulet

A modern middle-grade graphic novel retelling of Beowulf, featuring a gang of badly behaved kids who must defend their tree house from a fun-hating adult who can turn children into grown-ups instantly. Listen! Hear a tale of mallow-munchers and warriors who answer candy's clarion call! Somewhere in a generic suburb stands Treeheart, a kid-forged sanctuary where generations of tireless tykes have spent their youths making merry, spilling soda, and staving off the shadow of adulthood. One day, these brave warriors find their fun cut short by their nefarious neighbor Grindle, who can no longer tolerate the sounds of mirth seeping into his joyless adult life. As the guardian of gloom lays siege to Treeheart, scores of kids suddenly find themselves transformed into pimply teenagers and sullen adults! The survivors of the onslaught cry out for a savior-a warrior whose will is unbreakable and whose appetite for mischief is unbounded. They call for Bea Wolf.

Cauldron Of Horror #1 - Mark G. Heike Dave Matsuoka & Stephanie Heike

All original weird horror anthology from AC featuring a trio of stories: A winged demon pursues a victim across wind-swept moors in "One Of These Days"; a mysterious idol transforms a lady archeologist in "Statue Got Me High"; and new fatherhood overwhelms in "Baby Boomer." All three stories are written by Mark Heike; "'Statue" and "'Boomer" are illustrated by him as well. "One of These Days" is penciled By Dave Matsuoka and inked by Heike.

Be My Love My Lord GN - Adumi Nagano

This is a world where humans keep beasts and beasts obey humans. When Reiji, the neglected second-born son of a wealthy family, is gifted a beastman caretaker, he never imagines that the serious and loyal Tsubaki would become his closest friend and confidant. Knowing that his growing desires for his companion is forbidden, Reiji resolves to never give voice to his secret yearning... until the day he comes across Tsubaki suffering and overwhelmed from his heat and the two of them spend a night together that changes everything.What does Tsubaki mean when he says that he and Reiji are now mated...? And can Reiji really claim to love someone so beholden to him, and can the two of them find their way in a society that rejects their relationship?

Dark Ride TP Vol 1 - Joshua Williamson, Andrei Bressan & Adriano Lucas

WELCOME TO THE SCARIEST PLACE ON EARTH! Devil Land has been the world's premiere horror-themed amusement park for over 50 years, home to the scariest ride ever created-The Devil's Due. But behind it lies a deadly truth about reclusive founder Arthur Dante and the choices he made to ensure his success. Now his children Sam and Halloween will discover the true horror behind their family legacy-and that all their dreams may be founded on the stuff of nightmares...

Dear Body TP - Lea Bordier, Carole Maurel & Eve Gentilhomme

12 women and non binary people describe their relationship with their bodies in their own words. Illustrated by 12 brilliant artists. A stunning and creative graphic novel about body positivity. Our Bodies. Our Rules. Our Stories. For years, Lea Bordier has interviewed over 70 women and non-binary people from all walks of life about themselves and their bodies on her YouTube channel. With the help of 12 female and non-binary cartoonists, Lea has adapted hundreds of hours of interviews into a graphic novel packed with 12 powerful and emotional stories. This is a journey into the lives of twelve women and non-binary people and their relationship with their bodies, in their own words. Dear Body is an important and visually stunning graphic novel about body positivity.

The Dragon’s Betrothed GN - Meguru Hinohara

A country sojourn turns into a forced marriage to a dragon god for troubled writer Chiharu! Troubled writer Chiharu Izunome reluctantly returns to his rural hometown, hoping some R & R will refresh his creative juices. Instead of finding respite, he's quickly entangled by an old promise to wed a local god! Rin, the water dragon god to whom Chiharu has been betrothed, can be disarmingly friendly and charming, but inside lurks an animalistic ferocity. Can Chiharu escape Rin's protective embrace, or is his fate already written?

Evita: The Life & Work Of Eva Peron GN - Alberto Breccia

In a sequel to their spellbinding, experimental biography of Che Guevara, Hector Germán Oesterheld and the Breccias chronicle the eventful life of Eva Perón. Published in 1970, Evita: The Life and Work of Eva Perón was daringly intended to be the follow-up to the artists' successful and controversial 1969 graphic biography Life of Che. Hector Germán Oesterheld plotted the book and the father and son team of Alberto and Enrique Breccia drew the comic - but the text was "sanitized" before its publication. In 2001, a restored version of Evita featuring Oesterheld's original, uncensored script wasfinally published in Spanish; it is translated in English here for the first time. In just 72 boldly penned chiaroscuro pages, this graphic biography paints a complex portrait of a pivotal Argentine figure who was at once beloved and reviled by her people.

Born in rural Argentina to extreme poverty, she moved to Buenos Aires where she met and married Colonel Perón, who would become president of Argentina. As First Lady, affectionately nicknamed Evita, she devoted herself to social welfare and worker's rights, campaigned for women's suffrage, and became known as "The Spiritual Leader of the Nation." While she has been viewed as an international icon, inspiring celebratory works such as Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1976Broadway Evita, this biography by her countrymen takes a far more searing and critical approach, chronicling the noble causes she fought for as well as the militarism and oppression of the Perónist regime.

Flavor Girls HC - Loic Locatelli-Kournwsky

Naoko, Camille, and V are the FLAVOR GIRLS, Sacred Fruit Guardians of Earth! They defend the earth from the threat of ever-looming Agarthians, whose motives regarding earth and humanity are still unknown.

Golden Sparkle GN - Minta Suzumaru

A coming-of-age story about two high school guys figuring out love in each other's arms. Himaru Uehara's first year of high school is off to a good start, minus one problem-he keeps having wet dreams. With only his mom and sister at home-and having skipped health class in middle school-he thinks it means there's something wrong with him. Thankfully, a new friend has just the remedy and teaches Himaru exactly how to deal with those pesky dreams! But his solution only leads to more confusion, and the two find themselves navigating feelings they've never felt before.

The Green Girls GN - Loic Nicoloff & Alberto Zanon

Emma, Lily, and Fadila want to save the planet... but no one around them seems to care. Frustrated, they name themselves the Green Girls, take to social media, and launch a series of bold protests. Alongside their classmate and aspiring Green Girl Silas, the crew risks getting in trouble (and stirs some up) to raise awareness about container ship pollution, palm oil overproduction, and more environmental hazards. With a mix of livestreams, spray paint, and bungee cords, they're out to make a difference-and get their followers to do the same.

Hidden Systems GN - Dan Nott

This nonfiction science graphic novel takes readers on a journey from how the most essential systems were developed to how they are implemented in our world today and how they will be used in the future. What was the first message sent over the internet? How much water does a single person use every day? How was the electric light invented? For every utility we use each day, there's a hidden history, a story of intrigue, drama, humor, and inequity. This graphic novel provides a guided tour through the science of the past and reveals how the decisions people made while inventing and constructing early technology still affect the way people use it today.

Hoops GN - Matthew Tavares

A work of fiction inspired by a true story, Matt Tavares's debut graphic novel dramatizes the historic struggle for gender equality in high school sports. It is 1975 in Indiana, and the Wilkins Regional High School girls' basketball team is in their rookie season. Despite being undefeated, they practice at night in the elementary school and play to empty bleachers. Unlike the boys' team, the Lady Bears have no buses to deliver them to away games and no uniforms, much less a laundry service. They make their own uniforms out of T-shirts and electrical tape. And with help from a committed female coach, they push through to improbable victory after improbable victory. Illustrated in full color, this story about the ongoing battle of women striving for equality in sports rings with honesty, bravery, and heart.

House On Fire TP - Matt Battaglia

Is she sick, or is it the world itself? House on Fire, the debut graphic novel by writer/artist Matt Battaglia, teases out the difference in a personal-political cruise through a fallen world, where fear is rational and obedience your only refuge. Battaglia depicts the near-future landscape of House on Fire with wild two-color brushwork reminiscent of the great Paul Pope, and a minimalist writing style that evokes and questions rather than lectures.

Kitaro: Japan’s Classic Manga Collection GN - Shigeru Mizuki

Against a backdrop of photorealistic landscapes, Kitaro and his otherworldly cartoon friends plunge into the depths of the Pacific Ocean and forge the oft-unseen wilds of Japan's countryside.

When they go so big that even Ms. Joyce can't fix it, suddenly she's out. Finally, success! Or is it?

All Avery wants is her own room - her own space to be alone and make art. So she's furious when Theo, her grumpy older brother, gets his own room instead, and her wild baby brother, Max, moves into the room she already shares with her clinging sister Pearl! Avery hatches a plan to finally get her own room, all while trying to get Max to sleep at night, navigating changes in her friendships, and working on an art entry for the fair. And when Avery finds out that her family might move across the country, things get even more complicated.

Who’s Thor in your dcmk Marvel au? You may have said it, and I may have missed it. If I have, whoops, sorry

.....yeah i probably haven’t mentioned it?? or only in passing, but anyway, thor is makoto, prince of Not Really Sure How Human Interactions Work But Will Kick Ass For Sonoko Anyway. which means that yes sonoko is some version of jane foster, and aoko is darcy, who may or may not be secretly together with hawkeye (it’s complicated)

and while we’re on the topic of “people that have never really come up but i’ll happily take the excuse to mention”:

shiho’s two externally-contracted brain cells are sera aka war machine, and momiji aka current boss of miyano industries

kansuke and yui are nick fury and maria hill respectively. koumei said nope to all that and joined the regular police force, where he sighs theatrically at SHIELD’s antics and pulls “i can’t hear you, you’re dead” on kansuke at least four times while he was faking dead

(there was a pretty ouch moment back after the soldier’s attack when yui couldn’t tell koumei that kansuke was Not Dead only almost dead for security reasons but you will never get a word out of either of them about it. yui bought him extra nice tea afterwards in apology)

the black org is hydra. this is probably obvious

probably also obvious: the miyanos were erskine and howard

imaginary cookie if anyone can guess who the carters are

#will i take all chances to talk about marvel au? yes #will i also take all chances to bring the nagano trio in? also yes #anyway i may be forgetting some but i think that's the main list of roles that've never really come up on main #the police and FBI alphabet soup gang are mostly status quo except for hidemi #and also hakuba is the hulk just for the pun. hah #marvel au #asks #anonymous

The Freedom of Expression, radio version - Ep 52, Sep 2016 - Image of 'the perfect face', Celebrity Talent's adult movie debut, Thai red-light districts facing destruction.

Kaoru starts by saying in the current tour the band should now be as far as the Nagano date at Hokuto Bunka Hall. They are including a few hall dates in the tour for the sake of the older fans. Joe says the band are lucky to be able to visit lots of regional areas and enjoy all the local Autumn food. They try to remember some Nagano specialities, horse sashimi, soba, apples. Joe says that Koi/carp are eaten in Nagano too, in particular the dish Koikoku. Kaoru mentions that they are recording this show well in advance of the Nagano show, and wants recommendations for good places to eat/drink there, but realises that by the time this radio show goes out, the Nagano live will already be over and it will be too late. Joe asks Kaoru whether the band usually have after-parties/after-show drinks in regional areas. He replies that they do, but not everyone always attends.

Kaoru's first topic of interest is about UK based plastic surgeon Julian de Silver, who has created an image of the most perfect face by combining the most requested looks his clients have asked for over the years. The lips, says Kaoru, are 'Peperone' Cruz's. Joe corrects him with, 'Penelope'. The forehead is Miley Cyrus', the skin is Reece Witherspoon's. Kaoru is a bit surprised that even skin is a component in this concept. The jaw is Cher's, the chin is Selena Gomez's. Both Kaoru and Joe have the image in question in front of them, and Joe asks Kaoru what he thinks of it. Kaoru thinks it looks like the type of face you always see in movies etc. It could even be described as a bit boring. He tells a story about how he was recently listening to a radio talk show on InterFM with Joe and another DJ. The other DJ had the perfect, typical radio voice, and for some reason it didn't grab Kaoru's attention at all, but when he heard Joe's voice (which is a bit different from the average DJ voice), he didn't initially realise it was Joe, but immediately paid attention. Joe is pretty happy to hear such a comment from Kaoru. The same concept could be applied to this picture of the perfect face. If it is too perfect, it lacks individuality. Joe says you will shine more if you show your own individuality, rather than if you pay money to look perfect. This 'perfect face' wows neither Joe or Kaoru.

Hiranabe joins them next. Its his first appearance on the show for quite a while, as his nights have been quite busy recently, he says. Kaoru asks him what he thinks of the woman with the perfect face - Would he go to a bar staffed with such faces? It goes without question that he definitely would! Joe says that Hiranabe was singing the praises of Niigata women while the first record was playing, and after visiting Fukuoka recently, he was also raving about how charm is more important than sex appeal. For example, rather than a typical 'sexy' young woman in a bikini, the charm of a Fukuoka woman in a kimono, showing the nape of her neck, awakens desires in him.

Hiranabe's first news is about the daughter of actress Sakaguchi Ryōko, Sakaguchi Anri, who had recently made her adult video debut. Hiranabe thinks this is pretty shocking, because usually when celebs turn to the AV path, its due to a crash in their career which they need to revive somehow, but in Sakaguchi's case, her career had recieved no such blow. Joe asks why she has made the move to AV in that case, and Hiranabe replies it may be because of her debts. She had apparently been spending far too much money on hosts, having a maternal instinct towards them, and wanting to spoil them. Hiranabe thinks the trend of celebs turning to AV is likely to continue, which is good news for Tokyo Sports, and very pleasing for him personally.

Hiranabe has heard that Sakaguchi's salary per adult movie is likely to be about ¥20-30million. AV stars used to be paid a lot more than this, because this type of media sold a lot more in the past than it does now. But still, ¥20million yen is a significant amount of money. Hiranabe wonders whether he should become a male AV actor. Kaoru laughs and says that the men won't get paid that much. Hiranabe says conversely, he would probably have to pay the movie company to let him do it. Joe jokes that the listeners will complain and blame Kaoru and Joe if they see Hiranabe turn up in porn movies.

Hiranabe moves onto his next topic which is about Thailand's red light districts (Kaoru and Joe both laugh as soon as they hear these words), specifically, the threat facing them. Hiranabe explains that unlike Japan, Thailand doesn't have any kind of mafia or organized crime gangs. This kind of role has historically been caried out by the police or army, who would extract money/bribes from brothels etc. But in recent times the government/army has been carrying out a severe crackdown, closing many nightlife establishments. In areas like Thaniya or Patpong, for example, its clear that a crackdown is taking place, but in places like Nana Plaza etc, it is still very busy and lively. As to why the former neighborhoods are sufferering, Hiranabe says its because the army is new there. According to a friend of Hiranabe's who lives in the area, it will probably start getting back to normal after a few years. Hiranabe says he will have to get back there once it starts to recover. Joe asks him, with all these visits to various places for the women, when does he actually plan on doing any work? Kaoru says that this hobby at least gives Hiranabe things to talk about. It would be worse having no hobbies at all. Hiranabe asks if he really has this kind of image, to which Kaoru and Joe reply, yes, 100%! Hiranabe says it must be the fault of the mic...the mic and Kaoru and Joe.

To finish, Kaoru tells listeners that there are 4 dates remaining on the DSS tour, and hopes people can make it (although he has no idea whether there are still tickets remaining). He then plugs the Kisou and Uroboros tours, and the Instagram fashion campaign.

Songs - Dir en grey/Phenomenon, Dimension Zero/Helmet, Dir en grey/Utafumi.
