#on the stage of dazzling light

[project-sekai-facts]

Tsukasa is heavily associated with the number 88, beginning with his second commissioned song, 88☆彡. The song itself has the number 88 as a recurring motif, with some of this symbolism connecting to Tsukasa.

The following is a (hopefully) complete list of the connections the song and Tsukasa have to the number 88:

The song is exactly 88 measures long.

The song has a BPM of 176, which is 88 in half-time.

The note count for the songs chart on every difficulty ends in 88 (increasing: 388, 588, 688, 1088, 1188, 1388).

The append chart also has 88 stars in total appear on hold notes throughout the song.

There are 88 keys on the piano. Tsukasa's connection to the piano was explored within the On the stage of dazzling light event, the event that 88☆彡 was commissioned for.

When written in English, Wonderlands contains 11 letters, and Showtime contains 8. If the "x" in WonderlandsxShowtime is used as a multiplication sign, 11 multiplied by 8 is equal to 88.

The 8th chapter of this event happens to be the 88th chapter of WonderlandsxShowtime's story altogether (counting all the main story, Virtual Singer main story, and event stories). This doesn't apply to the EN server due to the omission of Revival my dream.

There are 88 known constellations. Another piece of recurring imagery with Tsukasa is a star, which is included in the song's title. Some constellations can also be seen on his trained Star Melody banner 4* card.

The Tenma siblings (including Toya as their honourary sibling) have birthdays that are 8 days apart (Saki is May 9th, Tsukasa is May 17th, and Toya is May 25th). Tsukasa has the middle birthday of the three, meaning that 88 (or 8 and another 8) connects him to the people he considers most important to him. All three of them are also connected to the piano.

Tsukasa smiles in the 2DMV at the end of the bridge, which is also 88 seconds into the song.

In addition to this, Tsukasa's third unit banner, Towards the Phoenix at the Sky's Edge, was the game's 88th event. Again this does not apply to the EN server.

[IMAGE ID: news article styled drawing. In the main picture, Rui, Nene and Emu are seen prohibiting Tsukasa from practicing with them, like on the stage of dazzling lights event. Rui sternly points to the viewer’s right, Nene shrugs and Emu is dramatically wiping her tears with a napkin. Tsukasa’s silhouette gasps. The headline reads, “ HEARTBREAKING: Troupe leader presents most uninspired performance ever. Asked to go on a self discovery journey.” The author of the article is Hatsune Miku. “what…! so sad… bingle…” is what she has to say about the situation. END IMAGE ID]

The text on the book in Tsukasa's trained Star Melody 4* card is a translation of the opening lines of the Pianist Named Torpe play from On the stage of dazzling light. It is slightly different from the official English translation later provided by Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage.

i wish prsk had a more media literate fanbase that was willing to read, analyse characters and process complex topics; even if the official writing itself isn't all that good

mizuki's latest event (road of thorns) was handled amazingly and i wish they would've done the same with light up the fire / an4. but that's another story.

on to the main point: mizuki's trans writing. it's always 'that's a crossdresser' 'mizuki is gender nonconforming' 'you're reinforcing stereotypes',... every excuse under the sun to deny good representation. mizuki's story is such an obvious trans narrative and has been for years, denying it either means that you don't want to comprehend the stories or just indirectly transphobic.

mizu5 was a double-edged sword. it gave people the chance to actually read a story out of love for such a well-written, lovable trans character and the writers poured their all into such a nuanced topic that deserves to be handled with care. it had such a big impact that even those who knew nothing about prsk prior to this event would be able to understand and sympathise with mizuki's trans journey.

on the other hand, there were still people unable to accept her identity and going to lengths to prove mizuki isn't trans even when the writing shoves it in your face over the course of 4 entire years. it's not even subtext at this point.

it's also pretty obvious this would be the first time majority of the fanbase has read a story, because there were definitely questionable takes. but all in all, i could only hope people were more willing to give the stories a chance (although prsk writing isn't stellar) and be able to set out their own interpretations, analyses,... for the characters/

Guys... I swear... It's peak... Think about it 💕

[ruikaito]

Okay, so while the next event after the ‘23 seasonal cherry blossom one is for wxs, there aren’t really any direct ruikaito interactions since it’s a Tsukasa themed one, BUT! They do mention each other, and in a rarepair that’s close enough sometimes

We have Rui mention asking Kaito for help with filling in for Tsukasa while he figures out how to get in character and planning on borrowing Kaito’s stage! Which I honestly never even considered whose jurisdiction the sekai stage was under, but now we know I guess lol

Then we have Tsukasa later coming into the sekai to ask Kaito directly for help because he assumed (like the rest of us I’m sure) that Rui had relegated the role to Kaito. I feel like this not only demonstrates wxs’ trust in Kaito, but also Rui’s trust in Kaito as well (even though we learn that Rui ended up letting Miku try her hand at the role)

[nbmudkip]

YOU'RE the OP of "I forget everything unless I remember"? I had tagged a reblog of that as Tsukasa...

HELP yes i am…i saw a post that was essentially the reverse of it and said out loud “wow this post is like inverted tsukasa.” and then i made the other post as a funny haha for like. 6 mutuals maybe. and then it exploded

thrilled that so many others are relating to tsukasa’s hashtag hot girl amnesia moment. all the girls who have no memory of 60% of their life bc their brain tore it out in an attempt at coping with trauma clap your hands *clap clap*

summary "arresting" drew, your boyfriend, during your show before performing your song from your new album.

warning(s) none!

You are on tour for your new album in-front of thousands of fans almost every night. You worked hard on this album and it turned out wonderfully. If it weren’t for the amazing fans of yours, you don’t know where you’d be in your career— they are the reason you are doing this.

Half way into the show— going amazing. The crowd tonight isn't disappointing you. Everything you've hoped for on this tour. You've performed eighteen songs and about to go onto your nineteenth. Played musical spin the bottle not long ago which was really fun.

Before Juno, you begin with a small "skit" where you call someone out in the crowd, arresting them for being too hot. This became a thing after your first show of the tour and doing it ever since. Plus, fans absolutely love it. Interacting with your fans has always been something you did and create those bonds.

Drew, your boyfriend, is attending the show with Madelyn Cline, a mutual friend and cast-mate of Drew's. You told him earlier today you wanted to arrest him in the middle of the show to get the audience excited and it would be fun.

Drew was all for it, and he didn't want you to tell him what you were going to say—he prefers surprises.

Your pink, glittering, dazzling clothing was sparkling in the lights. You pressed your free hand to your brow as though you were looking around for a call. With security, you could see Drew and Madelyn making their way to the front.

You begin by adjusting your earpiece while moving around the stage in your long skirt. "You guys know that moment when you are in a room filled with such beautiful looking people that you start to feel overwhelmed?" When fans applaud, you smile.

"Oh, girls, I think I just seen my future husband in the front row! Oh my god, girls, come here, come here," you say anxiously into the microphone, beckoning them over and waving your free hand.

You turn to face Drew as the girls approach you, asking, "Do you see that gorgeous looking man over in the front row with his arms crossed in the tan shirt?" You speak into the microphone aloud, pointing to Drew in the crowd.

Your girls joyfully waved at Drew while placing their hands on your shoulder. As Drew blushes on the big screen, the crowd reflexively turns up the volume in the arena. 

"What's your name handsome?" With your head cocked slightly to the right toward your shoulder, you inquire in jest. 

"Drew!" You can hear him when he places his hands on the side of his lips. He gives you a childlike smile and a flushed face.

You say, "I'm sorry I couldn't get that?" as though you couldn't hear him. Leaning forward more, you place your free hand behind your ear.

He shakes his head and utters "Drew!" a little louder. 

"Oh my Drew, I must say that you must be a magnet because you drew me in" brings a smile to your face. Your tone indicated that you were trying quite hard not to laugh, yet you kept your calm brilliantly.

Fans had their phones out, capturing the entire interaction. Nobody would have expected Drew to be the person arrested at your gigs since the tour began.

"Drew, you are under arrest for being too hot," you say aloud, smiling and pointing at him— fanning yourself, moving your hips side to side as the sound of sirens going off with blue and red lights behind.

You put your left elbow against your girls shoulder, "guys do you ever just see someone so good looking that you just don't know what to do and all your clothes fall off in that moment" your long skirt slips off smoothy.

"Like your brain just like malfunctions and like I just wanna handcuffed to you now like," one of your girls puts the pink fluffy handcuffs into your hand, you kneel down, "do you know what I mean? Will you take these from me?"

Drew is overwhelmed in this very moment— it's very obvious how much you are affecting him. Drew gives you a gimme me gesture with his fingers, ready to catch the hand cuffs.

He takes them in his hands, looks down, and feels the smooth texture of the fuzzy. He tilts his head to the side before slowly glancing up at you with a smirk—keep in mind that he's still on the big screen.

"We're gonna sing this one to you, Drew."

Juno's song intro starts playing. You wave goodbye to Drew and Madelyn as you return to the center of the stage. You could hear the two begin speaking to fans in the distance.

Drew and Madelyn met you in the dressing room following the show. After giving Madelyn a hug and thanking her for attending the event, you moved to approach Drew and put your arms around his neck while grinning.

"That was insane," Madelyn exclaimed, pulling you into a hug. "What about the full call-out and the handcuffs? Iconic! "You're the talk of the night; everyone is crazy about it."

You giggled as your face heated up. "It seemed right." "You should have seen his face!"

She laughs, "I got the whole thing on video, I'll send it to you later."

"I'm going to give you two some alone time, but you did such an amazing job tonight and looked so hot doing it," Madelyn adds, taking your hands in her and wiggling her brows. 

"Thank you, babe. I love you always," you say, hugging her before she leaves you and Drew alone. 

When you close the door, Drew comes behind you, placing his arms around your waist and kissing you on the cheek, making you laugh with the tenderness of his lips.

"I'm so proud of you baby, you did such an amazing job on stage and looked unbelievable in your outfits made me feel like the luckiest guy in the entire world." He expresses emotionally, which uplifts you. 

"Coming from you, it warms my heart baby. Forever grateful to have you in my life," you smile softly, leaning against his chest, feeling that sense of warmth you always feel whenever you are with him.

"And I'm forever grateful for you" he quietly responds, kissing the top of your head.

"So what are we gonna do with those pink fuzzy handcuffs?"
