when I first saw Hakase, they felt a little familiar. no medical license? willing to do surgery on a patient anyway? probably a little insane judging by that scar on their neck and a hand that really does not look like their own? sounds like a certain doctor I know. this weird little goober is from @nextsoundofthefuture!! please read it if you have time. it's worth it. i promise.

NSOTF Ad Secret

The NSOTF website has fun little in-lore "ads" that pop up in the Promoted box under the series cover page and the link to the latest chapter. Most of them have thumbnails of talents from one of the Big Three agencies and link, accordingly, to the webpages of those agencies.

One of them is completely blank.

(The NSOTF homepage with a blank ad.)

Let's see where it goes.

Clicking the ad brings you to nsotf.com/h/, which is apparently a page with nothing on it.

Hitting ctrl+a or clicking and dragging over the top of the page reveals a string of characters. These are illegible, so I searched "text decoder" and found this website:

www.dcode.fr/cipher-identifier. Pasting the text into the box and hitting the "ANALYZE" button gives a set of likely encodings.

Here, the only option in the list that comes up with anything is ASCII85 Encoding, so I click that.

Now all that's left is to hit "DECRYPT". The website already pasted the text in the input box for me.

A message in plain English appears on the left side of the page. It says:

Do you think everyone's already forgotten about me? … I'll bet they have. My replacement's already shining on that stage, after all…. It's as if I wasn't ever there. But I was, wasn't I? I was there, right? My existence- it surely was worth something, wasn't it…? …. You agree, don't you, M?

Frankly I have no idea who could have said this. It can't have been Tech--at least, not the Tech we know now, who seems to have entirely moved on from the idol business. And it doesn't sound like her. If anything, it sounds like Shine, who has never been on a stage and therefore does not have a replacement for the job she never had.

I can't think of anyone with a "replacement" except for Roll's brother, Rock, but Honey never actually replaced him because Roll didn't agree to the fake-twin-contract deal. He shouldn't even know that his agency tried to replace him with another Len. And he was never onstage anyway.

It sounds like this is coming from an idol who disappeared from the public eye and who was either part of a group (and had their slot in the group replaced after they left) or had some kind of persona (that got adopted by someone else after they left). I can't think of a group so far that had one of its members replaced. As for personas, it could be Magical Mirai or Snow Miku, but every Miku in either of those shows is her own character--it's not like they kept putting Snow Miku in the same recolored V2 costume forever.

And who could "M" be? Momo or Mimi, Shine's classmates? Muresu, the Minase Kou from O-Len's show (who I had to dig through the comic to find)? Mikuo? Miku????

Conclusion? Idk. I bet neither the speaker nor M have even been mentioned in the comic yet and I'm just grasping at straws. Fun monologue, though.
