#niigo take

[pjsk-hot-takes]

The story of nightcord starting out as an online group and developing into an actual real life friendship and support system you can run away from home to is hilarious to me because it is only possible because all of the girls are from one country, one city, one district, neighboring schools. True, it would be a lot harder to write them to be from different countries. And complicated, too, because the devs would feel an obligation to write about other international characters who might have to do something with internightcords. Mizuki can’t possibly be the only citizen of Malaysia

Tbh this whole take is me being sour I can’t go from my lgbtphobic country and visit my Swedish friends

my favorite project sekai au has got to be n25 as an idol group, or as i like to call it, idol shinitai

kanade was hired as a songwriter for an idol company after her talent became known to her father's acquaintances from the music industry. but she decides she wants to reach people more directly with her music so she becomes an idol herself. the physical training takes an enormous toll on her health, but she never lets herself rest because she knows her fans are counting on her to "save" them.

mafuyu started auditioning when she was very young because her stage mom wanted to live vicariously through her fame. she was the first of the group to become an idol, and she's maintained that public persona (cultivated by her mother) for so long that she's forgotten her true identity. but that starts to change when she meets kanade and is inspired to write her own songs.

ena was scouted after her selfie account on social media took off, and she agreed to become an idol because all the attention from fans helps lift her ego. however, she still feels jealous of more popular idols and worries that she hasn't worked hard enough to earn her success. what's more, her father thinks being an idol is a cop-out for someone without real talent. she joins kanade's unique new group in order to prove him wrong.

mizuki is an idol because, quite simply, it's fun. she gets to dress up in cute clothes, dance, sing, and interact with fans. however, beneath it all there's always an undercurrent of dread. the more popular she gets, the more she worries about what will happen when the world learns her secret. just finding the courage to tell her friends is hard enough, but to tell thousands of people whose support she depends on to keep doing what she loves? it's terrifying.

it's just crazy how much the context of fame and celebrity serves to highlight and intensify the existing themes of niigo's story.

I find it very interesting that Tsukasa has all the potential to be the "main character" of wansho but he's just... never framed as such. I'd argue that title goes to Emu with how she's the one to start wansho and ends the arc with her dreams being reached.

Tsukasa is the leader of wansho and—compared to the other leaders, aside from Kanade—takes on that role more literally than the others. This is not to say that Minori, Ichika, and Kohane doesn't deserve that title because I won't deny that they're the catalyst of each group's creation, but compared to the three Tsukasa is in charge of the group itself and has been acknowledged to be the leader of wansho multiple times by other characters.

Tsukasa's biggest title or dream is being a star; the centre of attention and basically what would be associated to being a 'main character'. He's the sole creator of wansho's SEKAI and song to access it before deciding to share it with wansho at the end of the main story. He's loud and all encompassing, Kaito has specifically mentioned that people simply gravitate towards him. This all leads to the potential of wansho's storyline to surround him and his dreams.

And yet, and yet, and yet.

Tsukasa has always been framed as having a supporting role. The only reason he stayed at Wonder Stage is because of Emu's dream of saving Pheniland, and to reach that dream he needs to bring wansho together and lead them, advancing his skills was just another way to support that dream.

His first focus event wasn't even about himself but about how he helped wansho and the staff of Phoeniland orcestrate Project Wonder, how important his leadership is to rally people for a cause. In the the Scramble Fan Fes event Tsukasa's card isn't about him performing or anything of the sorts, but he's encouraging Minori and guiding her through her stage fright before her performance. His entire dream of becoming a star is spurred on by his desire to bring smiles to Saki and supoort her through her hardships, later Toya too, and then that desire spreads even more to everyone.

Tenma Tsukasa is defined by the people around him, by how much he's able to bring joy to his family and his friends and in turn their happiness becomes his happiness.

And he's so natural at in the way that Emu recognises it the first time she sees him and asks him to join Wonder Stage, in the way that Rui is allowed to change because of the chance Tsukasa gave him, in the way that Nene feels inspired by his exponential growth that she pushes herself forward too. Tsukasa is so important to Toya and Saki for the same reason, Rui asked him to record lines to cheer up Mizuki for the same reason, Shizuku recognises how kind of a person he is for the same reason.

TLDR; Tsukasa loves and cares for his friends and family and his character is defined by his ability to make them happy and support them despite how main character worthy he is

So about that new Kanade card

[the-overanalyst]

AND ANOTHER thing i love about niigo is how each of the characters gave one of the others the thing they needed the most.

kanade to ena

ena to mizuki

mizuki to mafuyu

and mafuyu to kanade

[lagtrained]

i keep seeing people say "we arent gonna see mizuki until ena5!!!" when. no. there are TWO OTHER NIGHTCORD MEMBERS. ALL OF THEM CARE ABOUT MIZUKI. yea we wont see TOO MUCH from her for a while (probably mizu6 tbh) but niigos story is still gonna be centered around mizuki for a while because yknow. very close friend disappears from a friendgroup and real world with no warning and the only person who saw her is completely disraught. its like how mafuyu was tge focus of niigo events for a little while

[corethetrueidiot]
