[remy-roll-writes]

Hi there! ❤️ If it's okay could you do either some headcanons or idea for a Hamano x mature!female!Reader? He's my favorite but there's sadly not much content about him. Thank you so much in advance and hope you have a lovely day!

Hi hi! Congrats on being my first random request, without me making a post and asking for some <3 tho, i'm not really comfy writing for fem reader so I'll do it gn, hope that's okay!

Hamano Kaiji with a mature!reader

Hamano himself is very silly. He often does things he maybe shouldn't or at least he should think a bit more about what he's about to do. So you always have to reassure him, pull him back and explain the situation so he doesn't get hurt or in trouble (again)

You also remind him every day to do his daily tasks like doing homework, eating at least two normal meals a day, etc.

While he does get annoyed somethimes and teasingly says "you're not my guardian" he does appreciate your general concern

Yet sometimes, it's the other way. He's the one who tells you to loosen up sometimes. One time, the two of you were fishing at the river. It was warm that day so he suggested going for a swim. You said no because the water is dirty and you don't even have swim clothes and before you could finish explaining, the two of you were already falling into the water. You were only mad for a few minutes but then... you had a lot of fun that day

Hope this is okay, it's a bit short tho, I'm sorry!

[otame]

Personally, if they ever come across my AU of them?

Oh they'll feel concerned, both for me and their counterparts.

Cause who just decided to slam unhinged trauma on these guys? (Not me, jkjk ;)

The GO kids? They'll feel kinda sorry, kinda scared(bcs who wouldn't be scared when you find out there's an unethically experimented, family abused/traumatized, mentally problematic, jaded and basically fucked up version of yourself?), and sorta amazed that they have abilities.

The GO adults(Endou,Kidou,Gouenji and Haruna)? They'll feel more concerned, because...

their counterparts in REC? They are basically Murder Drones/FNaF(for Kidou and Haruna) and Mandela Catalogue/Vita Carnis(for Endou and Gouenji) incarnates. Of course they'll feel extremely concerned for them. For varying reasons. But they'll also be baffled when they find out that their four counterparts had adopted, the entirety, of GO Raimon(in REC).

And of course, the Canon!GO kids and Canon!GO adults, when they hear of the 14 years' worth of trauma they went through (I'll list it down for you guys to get an idea)...

(Trigger Warning)

•Domestic abuse, child abuse, child labor, exploitation, S.A.(if you know, you know), brainwashing, gaslighting, sexism, biased religious beliefs, homophobia, transphobia, unethical experimentation, human trafficking, torture, doxxing.

...and once Canon!Go Raimon hears it all, it'll definitely make them question on how the hell then did they handle that weird time of their life(aka Go,Go Chrono Stone, Go Galaxy) without mental breakdowns(ohhhh if they only knew).

But then REC(Raimon Eldritch Chronicles)!Raimon reassures them that past is past, and they're still working on to move on, but it's a start.

Then REC!Go Raimon will distract Canon!Go Raimon with their abilities, REC!Tenma, Aoi,Shinsuke, will fly their canon counterparts up in the sky, REC!Shindou will probably chat with some of the local animals leaving Canon!Shindou in awe, REC!Tsurugi's mere existence will leave Canon!Tsurugi baffled because, not only, is REC!Tsurugi entirely different from him, from how he looks like(REC!Tsurugi's hair is let down, not spiky anymore, it's silky smooth), to his demeanour(the events in REC slowly but surely made him come out of his introverted shell and he is now more open and more softer), to the mere fact that he has children.(Granted, his eight children are technically his clones, but shush.)

Canon!Hayami is even more baffled with the fact that REC!Hayami has a bit more confidence in him self("It's not confidence, it's just spite against my own negativity" he says), the Hamanos are just the silliest dorks there are, Canon!Akane will be in awe of REC!Akane's light bending abilities(she'll definitely try to picture REC!Akane in action, she'll definitely also try to picture REC!Shindou because that man? He is majestic as fuck with his peacock and deer traits).

I can write an essay about this but that'll be saved for another day.

No 'cause imagine IE characters went on the IE fandom. What would be their reaction ?

Animage May 2012 - Interview with Ayahi Takagaki (Kurama), Konno Jun (Hamano) and Yoshino Hiroyuki (Hayami)

Full scans can be found here: http://inazuma.pmsinfirm.org/?p=222

Notes: The very first magazine article I tried to translate - three years later I FINALLY finished it. One of the few articles about my beloved Kurama~

Round Table Discussion - Raimon Second Year Close Up Talk

‘Don’t Call Us The Stay At Home Trio!’

While they’re second years along with Shindou and Kirino, they don’t have a character song or even a role in the movie? They may not play a spectacularly important role, but they keep going strong, without ever giving up. They are the definition of Raimon Spirit! We looked back over the first series with the actors who play this unshakable trio.

 Out of the second year trio, Kurama has probably grown the most.

 Hayami, Hamano and Kurama are referred to as the ‘Second Year Trio’ among fans, but they also have another nickname - the ‘Stay at Home Trio’.

 Konno: That’s because we were left behind when everyone went to God Eden (laughs).

 Yoshino: But if anything did happen, how were we three supposed to stop it?

 Takagaki: Seriously!

 You could also say you three play the ‘unsung heroes’ of Raimon, but what was your first impression of your character?

 Konno: Hmm. The first time I saw his design, I noticed Hamano’s hands were directly thrust into his pants. Not in pockets.

 Takagaki: Is he a child?

 Konno: Right, I thought he must be a mischievous, childish sort of kid, but in reality he’s not really that kind of person. He’s very light-hearted, and he often shows that he does think seriously about things.

 In what way were you instructed to play him?

 Konno: I was first told ‘In any case, just play him with a carefree air,’. In the first match against Eito, he says ‘Minamisawa-saaaan~’ and passes the ball, but the sound director told me to play it with less intensity. Even if it felt like he had no determination, that was okay. Furthermore, Endou’s story feels like it was made in the Showa era (older), but Tenma’s story feels like the Heisei era (modern). Hamano and Hayami and the others speak more like modern teenagers.* I feel like keeping that in mind solidified Hamano’s character for me.

 *It’s hard to translate this part, but recently young Japanese have a tendency to say things that sound like the opposite to what they mean. So, instead of saying ‘it is,’ they would say ‘isn’t it?’. The meaning is the same but the way of saying it is different. Kind of confusing. Sugoi means amazing, right? Sugokunai means ‘not amazing’, but when young people say it they mean ‘amazing’. I’m bad at explaining it, I’m sorry! Basically they speak like modern Japanese teenagers in GO. They sound younger.

 Takagaki: In my case, when I first saw Kurama’s design I thought to myself ‘He’s so tiny!’ (laughs). Before the anime started, one of the staff members said to me ‘In any case, please play him as kind of an unpleasant person.’ And then Level Five’s Hino (Akihiro) said to me that ‘Kurama is Suneo*.’ (laughs)

 *Honekawa Suneo/ Sneech from Doraemon. A spoiled rich kid who likes to show off to his friends to make them jealous. His personality is cunning, prideful, arrogant and narcissistic.

 Konno: Huh? (laughs)

 Takagaki: Before the show started, I imagined he was some kind of spoiled rich kid ‘Nori-chama’ (laughs), but that wasn’t what was meant at all - I would say it’s more like he’s a counter or foil to the main character. That’s what was meant by those words. You feel that Kurama is completely against the winds of revolution that Tenma brings. So I think he was meant to be disliked by fans who support Tenma.

 He’s a kind of an unpleasant senpai, isn’t he?

 Takagaki: He is. But Kurama also has passionate feelings about soccer, and he’s a pretty good kid. What I was particularly careful about was how to show the sense of distance he felt in his heart towards Tenma and free soccer as it got smaller. In the second half of the anime, scenes where he puts more trust in his kouhai gradually increase, and I think he really grows as a person.

 He came to Tenma’s side and became a shield for him…

 Takagaki: He did. His special moves aren’t really that successful (bitter laugh), but he really works hard. For their hissatsu tactics Ultimate Thunder, in the end Kurama couldn’t do it either and Tsurugi came to save them, but when Kurama sees his kouhais working hard like that, he thinks ‘Next time will be me!’

 Next is Yoshino-san - in a previous talk show you said that you thought Hayami was ‘some kind of penalty game’.

 Yoshino: Yes. At first I felt like ‘I’m really gonna play this guy?’ and that it would be difficult (laughs). But since I heard adult Kidou would appear too I was glad I got to play two completely different roles. Hayami is, in any case, a negative guy and I’ve given up on thinking he’s gonna develop past that, since he’s consistently negative about everything. But I wonder is that what’s interesting about him?

 Takagaki: But in the end, in episode 45, Hayami became really positive!

 Yoshino: Since everyone else was so happy and excited, he probably thought he couldn’t be the only one not all pumped up? (laughs)

 Takagaki: No! Surely he was actually that happy too!

 Konno: Wouldn’t it be a real shame that if even after they’d conquered the Holy Road and defeated Fifth Sector he was still negative?

 Yoshino: But, well, his basic personality hasn’t changed. If it were up to me, I’d probably say to Hayami ‘If you’re not gonna just play soccer, then get out of here already!’

 Takagaki: Don’t be like that! Hayami is trying his best! Everyone in Raimon was burdened with having to compromise by playing controlled soccer for a really long time, but he’s had the same feeling as everyone else for wanting to play free soccer all this time! So I think that in the end all of us in this three person team got to show our true selves!

 Yoshino: Well, I guess. Out of the three of them, I would say Kurama in particular. He’s grown a lot.

 Please tell us about the most memorable scene for you from the first series.

 Konno: The scene that had the biggest impact was when Hamano took a pass and said ‘I ended up taking it… (against his better judgement)’. Hamano’s passes are often intercepted during matches. That seems to be his role (laughs).

 Takagaki: He says like ‘Huh?’ a lot (laughs).

 Yoshino: It’s becoming a bit like Hamano is the gap in the team.

 Konno: Even so, he’s only benched when he’s injured. Kidou-san uses Hamano more than you’d expect.

 Yoshino: He really does. Hama-chan is used all the time.

 Then, in episode 19 when the talk turned to ‘starting a revolution’ Hamano was in the most high spirits.

 Konno: He suddenly became super hyped up all by himself (laughs). He said ‘Wouldn’t a Resistance be cool?’. With those goggles he wears on his head doesn’t he look like the hero of a beloved anime series? They’re different to Hayami’s glasses and there’s no real purpose to them (laughs).

 Takagaki: Kurama’s most memorable scene was… It’s gotta be when Minamisawa-san quit the club and Kurama exploded at Tenma about everything he was thinking. Up until then, Raimon could only play soccer following the rules they were given - they understood that it was all they could do - when Tenma entered the club and demolished Raimon’s way of doing things. Because of that, the forward wearing the number 10 shirt, Minamisawa-san, who worked together with the forward wearing the number 11 shirt, Kurama, left. ‘We put up with everything because we have no choice, so don’t interfere!’ he vented, showing how he felt about soccer.

Tenma became pretty depressed when Kurama yelled at him.

Takagaki: He did. But Kurama did have a good point, and I think by speaking up it made an impact on Tenma and the others.

 Yoshino: My most memorable moment in the whole series was when Sangoku actually managed to catch a shoot.

 Konno/ Takagaki: (laughs)

 Yoshino: If you compare Inazuma GO’s Holy Road and Inazuma Eleven’s Football Frontier, there’s definitely more goals - at least one - scored against Raimon.

 Takagaki: Really?

 Yoshino: Endou definitely makes a difference.

 Endou Kantoku should teach Sangoku some goalkeeper moves.

 Takagaki: Yeah!

 Yoshino: He’s probably given up on Sangoku’s potential. ‘This kid’s a lost cause,’ (laughs)

 Konno: Don’t say that! (laughs) But Sangoku really is loved by everyone.

 Whenever Sangoku goes to save a goal, the cast seem to point out ‘No, it’s impossible!’

 Takagaki: That’s true. Well, during test runs.

 Konno: Hey, it’s mostly Nojima-san and Yoshino-san (laughs).

Yoshino: Hey, everyone does it!

 (All together) (laughs)

 Takagaki: When we all went out to dinner together before, and broccoli came in our salad, Saiga (Mitsuki - Shindou) san and the others got really excited about it. Everyone ate Sangoku-san and he was delicious. (laughs)

 Next, what was Hayami’s most memorable scene?

 Yoshino: Hayami is always like ‘Waaaa, waaa - it’s hopeless!’ That’s what I find most memorable about him because he’s always saying that.

 But wasn’t the scene he did Zero Yon against Kaiou Gakuen pretty cool?

 Takagaki: Yeah, that was cool!

 Yoshino: I guess. Even if he started it by crouching down.

 Konno/ Takagaki: (laughs)

 Yoshino: It was like he suddenly crouched down in the middle of the match and told everyone ‘Wait a sec, wait a sec! I’m gonna dribble!’

 Konno: He completely stopped moving. (laughs) But it’s an easy hissatsuwazza to understand.

 Yoshino: It’s funny and very Inazuma-like. I think it’s good that kids can mimic it easily.

 When the match was over it was cute how Hamano sympathised with Hayami.

Takagaki: Those two really are close! I think it’s a great relationship.

 Yoshino: Yeah, Hayami’s always fishing with Hama-chan.

 Konno: Hayami always comes with me when I go fishing. I’m grateful.

 Takagaki: I’m jealous that you get to see a lot of those two outside of school and the soccer club.

 Konno: But at the beginning there was scenes of all three of them in the classroom together. They’re probably all in the same class.

 Yoshino: I wonder what class Nishiki is. Although he suddenly returned to Japan out of nowhere.

 Takagaki: I want to see more of the second years’ lives back then and how they interact with each other. Personally I want to see Kurama’s regular clothes too. An episode like from Endou’s series, where everyone goes to an amusement park or something!

 In the ending theme Kanari Junjou there was a tiny bit. Kurama was talking on the phone to his parents about what today’s errands were, and Hamano seemed to be playing games.

 Takagaki: That’s true! I’m glad we could see just a little bit of their normal lives.

 Konno: Hamano seems to have a smartphone. He’s holding it with two hands.

 Yoshino: A smartphone? You??

 Konno: Yes! (laughs)

 Takagaki: I want to see everyone’s families.

 Yoshino: I wonder what Hama-chan’s house is like?

 Takagaki: Doesn’t he seem like he comes from a big family?

 Yoshino: Like he’d be the second youngest of five siblings?

 Konno: He’s definitely not the oldest.

 Yoshino: Ham-chan doesn’t have the sense of being an older sibling. (laughs)

 What could Hayami be doing in the ending theme? He looks disappointed.

 Yoshino: I wonder if he’s reading his emails.

 Takagaki: Like ‘No emails. Only magazine subscriptions.’ or something.

 Yoshino: ‘Today’s horoscope is shit too,’ or something.

 Konno: That’s harsh!

 Now let’s talk about your other roles. Please tell us about your feelings for this past year.

 Takagaki: I also play Aoyama. Aoyama was part of the second team, then quit the club but when he saw how Raimon rebelled against Fifth Sector he returned to the club. But he still doesn’t really have many chances to actually play…

He was sulking a little bit about that with Ichino on the bus.

 Takagaki: He was! (laughs) He probably thought he’d be made a regular right way when Minamisawa-san left.

 Yoshino: I thought so! (laughs)

 Konno: If luck was on his side! (laughs)

 Takagaki: There was already an episode where Amagi-senpai was worrying that all these new kids came out of nowhere and could someone keshins, and then a member of the Italian mafia came out of nowhere... (laughs)

 Konno: A member of the mafia with pink hair! (laughs)

 Takagaki: That’s right, Someoka-san! When they were down, he gave them some strong words. With that, they all learned that if they work hard one day their efforts would pay off. I think they were all able to realize that they really did love soccer. I think that’s why at the very end Aoyama and Ichino could finally use a combination hisstatsuwazza! Kidou-san, thank you for finally letting us play! (bows)

 Yoshino: No problem. (laughs)

 Takagaki: Aoyama’s played in one match before, but you could really feel he and Ichino were playing together as one during that match. Both of them were playing for every member of the second team then.

 Saiga-san has also said that the ‘First years get all the best parts’ and ‘I want the hard-working upperclassmen to be appreciated more’. (Prince Animage Winter)

 Takagaki: That’s it exactly!

 Yoshino: But it can’t be helped.

 Takagaki: When they were thinking ‘Even if I can’t do it well, I’ll still do my best!’ first years who COULD do it came and stole the show. Enter Kageyama Hikaru (laughs).

 Yoshino: He was told to try by the coach. ‘I think I can do that’ ‘Okay, go for it’. (laughs)

 Konno: In some ways that’s typical of a soccer player.

 Yoshino: Well, it’s nice to have a lot of different characters.

 Takagaki: It’s probably because there’s so many characters we’ll run out of episodes. The second years probably have a lot of scenes where they’re practicing very hard that won’t appear in the anime.

 Konno: I wonder about that.

 Takagaki: They’ve more than likely definitely accumulated a bunch of experiences than we haven’t seen. And in addition to that, I think the first years might not be their stimulus. Especially Kurama - he seems like a kid who thinks showing you’re putting in a lot of effort is uncool. Because he’s a kid he who tries to act cool quite a bit (laughs).

 Next is Konno-san - you play the role of Kita Ichiban from Tengawara.

 Yoshino: What a crazy awesome name. It sounds like the first storm of spring (laughs). Doesn’t Konno-kun have a lot of the best roles?

 Konno: Maybe. But I often have roles that are in a lot of distress. (laughs) Another memorable role I had was Wanda from Kaiou Gakuen. The guy who used the keshin Onsoku no Varius.

 Yoshino: That’s a better role than your main one. (laughs)

 Takagaki: That’s so cool, summoning a keshin!

 Konno: While we’re on the topic, I think the first keshin I summoned was with Shinoyama.

 Yoshino: Ahh, Mannouzaka’s keeper.

 Konno: Yeah. The little kid with dark skin and trout lips. It was established that if he summoned his keshin just once, he lost all of his energy so when Shindou’s Fortissimo came he said ‘Without a keshin I can’t - gahhhhhh!’. He’s probably the first goalkeeper to be cut off in the middle of a sentence.

 Yoshino:It’s kind of the same as Sangoku’s ‘Fence of - gahhhhhhhhhhh!’ (laughs)

 Konno: So Sangoku is the first.

 Takagaki: Ah, I also played a member of Kuro no Kishidan. A person called Amano who can’t see in front of himself thanks to his bangs at all. (laughs)

 Yoshino: Although the gaps between his bangs are pretty wide.

 Konno: That kind of mysterious vibe is fitting for Kuro no Kishidan. I was Kizaki. He has a hairstyle similar to Shishido’s.

 So, if we turn the talk back to Kita.

 Konno: Tengawara is a school controlled by Fifth Sector, and there are a lot of violent guys who use rough plays, and Kita is the only member who is in anyway close to Raimon. He’s a very respectable, decent kid, so he was an easy role to play. I could easily understand his way of thinking.

 After the match it seems like Kita contacted Shindou to tell him that Tengawara were supporting Raimon.

 Konno: In other words, those two have each other’s phone numbers! (laughs) Kita-kun is popular with a lot of the female cast, with Saiga-san always saying ‘Kita is a really good kid, a really good kid!’.

 About characters from Endou’s story - Konno-san was Domon and Takagaki-san was Touko.

 Takagaki: She doesn’t appear in the games, but when she became an adult Touko was one of the spectators of the Holy Road.

 Konno: She took off her hat and wore a skirt.

 Takagaki: I wonder if she’s still helping out her father prime minister Zaizen. Since she was already part of the special police when she was in middleschool.

 Konno: SP Fixers wasn’t it?

 Takagaki: Naturally I also want her to continue with soccer, and I think I’d like her to help get girls more excited about soccer. In the world series there were no female teams, which I thought was definitely frustrating. But when she appeared again after an interval her hissatsuwazza had levelled up and that made me happily think, aah she’s still giving her all with soccer! Even if you’re a girl, you can still play soccer together with boys! Soccer has nothing to do with gender! That mindset was the kind of kid she symbolized. I think I want her to keep her passion for soccer even when she becomes an adult.

 We have a lot of female readers who said they started playing soccer after seeing Touko, Rika and Reina.

 Takagaki: Really? That makes me happy!

 Yoshino: It’s become a soccer boom.

 Konno: Ahh, Nadeshiko Japan. (*Pink Japan, girly Japan)

 Takagaki: That’s right! If we could see a Nadeshiko boom over the next year, Touko may also possibly be involved… (laughs) But I’m happy that soccer is finally becoming a sport for girls.

 Yoshino: Touko won’t enter the world of politics?

 How about aiming for the first female prime minister?

 Yoshino: (in English) YES WE CAN.

 Konno: That’s the president! (laughs)

 Yoshino: Even if she doesn’t become the prime minister, she could promote sports.

 Takagaki: Yeah, she could!

 In any case, Prime Minister Zaizen and Touko probably wanted to do something about Fifth Sector.

 Takagaki: They were probably some of the first people affected by them… (laughs)

 Yoshino: Yeah. Whyyy, Touko?

 Takagaki: Even though prime minister Zaizen should love soccer so much…

 Yoshino: But wouldn’t the prime minister have changed?

 Takagaki: But isn’t he still the prime minister in Danball Senki?

 Konno: That’s right, he’s too busy with the battle in that world to do anything (laughs). Since Kudou Kantoku and Megane-kun are doing their best over here.

 Yoshino: But at the end of the season those guys were working really hard behind the scenes, so just where were they during the story? (laughs)

 If these 3 appeared in the movie…?

 If these 3 also went to God Eden, which senpai would you like to see them train with?

 Takagaki: Aoyama was part of Kabeyama’s team, going along with Sangoku-san’s practice. He didn’t really do his own training… (laughs). But I was really happy he protected a girl!

 Konno: If they could have gone to God Eden… Since it’s an island Hamano would have wanted to go into the sea, wouldn’t he? Since his hobby is fishing in the sea.

 Yoshino: Is it? Oi oi, the one we go to is just a fish pond, isn’t it? It’s not the sea at all, just a pool! (laughs)

Konno: I guess so (laughs). So he’d want to go see the sea. Call Tsunami-san to be his trainer!

 Takagaki: Tsunami-san as a surfing instructor! That would be great!

 Yoshino: Tsunami-san doesn’t appear in the main story at all, huh. Anyway, I guess Hayami would go along with that training too. And kind of freak out about it.

 Speaking of Hayami, he’s the team’s fastest runner. Would he train himself that way?

 Yoshino: But that’s not really shown in the anime, so I guess it doesn’t really matter. When the opponent has the ball, he starts panicking that he can’t chase them. Hayami, you can’t be like that! (laughs)

 Well then, what about Kurama?

 Takagaki: I want him to train his shoot power! So he do the sandboard training with Tsurugi, Kageyama-kun and Nishiki, with Fubuki-san teaching them. When Fubuki visited them he said that Kurama made a good shoot full of his feelings, and when Endou first came he praised Kurama ‘As expected of a Raimon forward’. Even though he said something like ‘Tch!’ I think he was really happy.

 Kurama looks like he’d fit in well in a dessert, so that’s appropriate.

 Takagaki: That’s true. And his hissatsuwazza is a snake. Yeah it really feels like a dessert would suit Kurama.

 Although the sandboard training was to improve their body balance.

 Takagaki: Oh right. Since Kurama’s a technical forward, if he could do something to help increase his power he could use the Ultimate Thunder attack.

Review Proper

IT’S 2003, FOLKS!!!

Can I just stress that “nyak” means something similar to “ew” in the Filipino language? It’s just so funny to me. They omitted the k in the BLCD, but I will never let it go. It’s STAR★NYAKS to me until the day I die, Sakyo Aya. Also, idk if my memory serves me right, but this, surprisingly, is the healthiest Sakyo Aya pair to date? They’re not exactly that dumb for each other, and I loved how Hana was only in it for the underwear the first few chaps, while Renjaku-san wasn’t overly possessive, unlike most of the Kuroneko Kareshi tops. Hana also wasn’t an annoying tsundere! Hallelujah! Nakamura Shungiku character development when? Renjaku-san turning domestic was such a shocker to me too! The very first time I’ve ever wanted a Sakyo Aya top since Ei. 

Anyway, enough about the plot. This review’s highlight is, of course, the VAs ‘cause this was undoubtedly ROBBED in last year’s awards.

I will never get tired of saying this, but

MY RINTAROU-KUN IS BACCCCKKKKK!!!

I wasn’t too keen at first, as his voice was a little too high for Hana, but he quickly grew on me. You really gotta give it to Shinshokan when it comes to casting. 👏👏👏 Hearing Takuma in a Sakyo Aya was just such a blast to the past, man. I couldn’t ask for more. If y’all wanna hear what old school pron sounds like in a modern setting, look no further. I’m sorry, SatoTaku and Sonna ni Iu, but this is Takuma’s best performance of 2021, and it’s with none other than rookie TADOKORO HINATA!

YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND! IT’S BEEN NINE YEARS SINCE WE’VE EVER HAD SOMEONE OF THIS RANGE DEBUT AS A BL SEIYUU!!! The last was Hamano Daiki in 2014, and he’s not even that active outside Yarichin nowadays. 😩 And, I know that I have a bad habit of looking for a rookie’s soundalike senpai, BUT TADOKORO DOESN’T HAVE ANY!!! HE A RARE BREED! A GIFT FROM THE GODS!!! He’s like a deeper TsudaKen with a clear diction like OnoYuu with a side of Suwabe suave~ YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN??? But that’s just diction and range! HE REALLY DOESN’T SOUND LIKE ANYONE I’VE EVER HEARD BEFORE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAA

JUST LISTEN TO THE TRAILER:

I’m just so proud. I’ve been supporting him since his first official supporting role in Memento Scarlet and have always expressed my wish to see him in a lead role in every review since and here we are now. 

And how was his performance in his debut role, you might ask? Fucking perfect ✨ It can’t get any better than that. He really saw that wig and snatched it! Listen, Takuma’s a Gen 2 veteran who has his own rhythm that can swallow you whole if you’re not too careful. Nakajiki fell victim to that back in Hidoku Shinaide, and he was a top there, so it was going to be harder on Tadokoro here ‘cause bottoming was Takuma’s forte! He not only stood his ground, but he owned that Takuma ass so well. 😭 Granted, Tadokoro has some experience in the anime industry, but he’s honestly done better than the recent Takeuchi Ryouta, Matsuda Kenichirou, and Hamada Kenji comebacks when they’re supposed to be more experienced. UGH. SO MUCH POTENTIAL WITH THIS ONE. I DON’T GET WHY HE DIDN’T GET AN AWARD!!! HE WAS ROBBED ISTG!!! He doesn’t have anything lined up for 2022 yet, but I’m gonna eye his profile like a hawk and have a fund ready just for him. He’d do great in a Haji! If they only adapted their works

We have stellar plot execution, AMAZING VOICE WORK AND CHEMISTRY, and overall faithful following of the manga. I read PCB’s scans before this was licensed by SuBLime, and I’m not sure if they used the magazine or tanko raws, but there was a bit of a jumble with the sequencing of the events in the BLCD. I’m leaning towards the former, though, so I highly suggest getting a copy of the SuBLime version if you plan to have a read-along. If you’re a fan of this series, I implore you to listen to this. It’s one of the best adaptations of 2021. Don’t listen to chil-chil. AND TO EVERY TADOKORO, VETERAN, AND WHALE TRASH OUT THERE, GET THIS. GET THIS!!!

Idols, Flowers, Dolls

I back again with another uhm review???

im not sure if its reviewed cause i don't trust my feelings (but still write shinenigans) ya might agree or not this is just a perspective of a simple brain rotter fan lol

so thanks for my fave seiyuu being in a bunch of seiyuu projects (idol or what) I am currently into 2d idols lol I'm just a new fan too but the songs are muah

I decided to make an entry about

Hanadoll

of course why I know this is because my fave is here lol but this idol project is interesting cause its has mystery and such. pretty (I am not sure if pretty is the right word lol maybe really) Angst and dark lol.

so lil bit summary a certain Agency or production company called Amagiri production. working there is not easy. a very competitive company. with strict rules, regulations, ranking, and test. one simple violation will lose your contract (yes very toxic company lol)

They aim the Perfect Idols using the latest technology. and that is planting a flower inside of a person. and now they choose 6 chosen new idols to get that treatment.

Toudo Lihito(CV:Itou Kent), Kagekawa Ryoga(CV:Hamano Daiki), Yuki Mahiro(CV:Yamashita Seiichiro), Kisaragi Kaoru(CV: Toki Shunichi), Kiyose Haruta(CV: Masuda Toshiki), Chise(CV: Komada Wataru)

Setsuna Yashiro(CV: Shun Horie) is their new member he was released at season 2

I still don't know much about the story lol but according to fans that can the mv's they released has clues about the stories. that's why I am interested (all I can do for now is cry tho cause I really need to level up my jp vocabulary and currently slacking lol). tho I think they are the only idol project I encounter that caters to their international fans (don't trust me currently i just meet around 15 I guess...) not all is translated tho lol only the introduction rn.

Music

Finally here lol so about the songs (yall already know how I love this lol no need a one-page essay for it lol) Its Electro music, the beats and everything is so modern and techy feel. i can't pinpoint the genre cause the mood of each songs are different like there is a dark and angst feel, a bit heavy there is also a bit soft and courting type, and dance feels too lol.

ok about singers (I will try my best not create a one-pager of how I love ryoga/hamano san lol) Mostly hamano san uses his raping skills in their songs but in his solo OMG THE CHORUS MUAH MUAH. most of the lyrics are in English (and man he is so fluent for me don't touch me)

Next is Itou san I knew him in hypmic and I knew him as powerful rapper lol. i am amazed he can hit that light but high notes. he's is amazing I register him also as camouflage va. him hitting those high notes muah

another hypmic va Komada san another shock for me lol. i am just used to him being jyuto lol. i also almost cant recognize its him lol

my brain keep thinking i knew i have heard him somewhere lol and yah he is toki, yuki's va from a3. i love his relaxing soft voice. perfect for his character

i actually don't know Yamashita san and Masuda san(tho i might saw his name somewhere i dunno where lol) i also like their singing especially solo cause its different genre

Shun san even tho he is late to be added he seems blended well to the group (well in terms of the songs lol cause i have no idea about the story) he also reaching itou's light high notes in his solo lol.

btw we don't talk about the live concert

ok i wanna talk about this one actually because its so amazing (I'm sorry hamano san but they are so enchanting help)

there is also a unit called Loulou*di, they are the first one to receive the treatment. consist of 3 people: Karasuma Ageha(CV: Toyonaga Toshiyuki), Hinagi Rui(CV: Takeuchi Shunsuke), Sakurai Toki(CV: Yamashita Daiki)

they are used opera type genre with hint of electro. its so enchanting too. gives me shivers sometimes. i really love the combination and timing of the lyrics. and also in their album Pensee man they are taking 5 languages in a song talk about Mr. worldwide They deserve it!

I also knew all of them lol Homare, Juza from a3 and Kirio from idolmaster sideM (i actually shock he is kirio of sai lol the difference, the gap, i still cant believe). TakeP using his opera singer mom's skills a Toyonaga san man i knew he is amazing when heared some a3 songs like es no Yuutsu.

i will say it again their songs are so enchanting. its not your ordinary idol unit cause they are not singing just to make smile or something. its angelic but there's is also a feel of darkness. its enchanting but i feel heart-wrenching. lol when did i become so poetical. so yah they are so different it's extraordinary just like the amagiri prod wanted i guest....

more about them they have youtube, twitter(each unit has twitter), website, Instagram and even tiktok(lmao)

so that's all for idol entry #1 don't worry i will still make seiyuu entries it just so happened im crying in the songs he sang lol

I really love @kelbluesketchblog 's Dramatical Murder oc, Mae Hamano. So I draw some fanart of her. Sorry if the colors are wrong. XD

[tranquil-turbulence]

This is a rough design of my OCs from my MHA fic “Did My Time and I’m Doing Just Fine” on AO3 (link)

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT:

Fujimoto Hanae (QUIRK: Garden), Miyano Kuro (QUIRK: Shadow Manipulation), Kanzaki Hamano (QUIRK: Siren), Kamori Ginjiro (QUIRK: Spring Bounce), Shiraishi Hayate (QUIRK: Rubber), and Shiraishi Hiromi (QUIRK: Elasticity).

Sorry it sucks, I literally haven’t drawn for a long while and I couldn’t be bothered with anything but basic body types lmao

maybe someday I’ll properly redraw them in a more cartoony style who knows  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[zakuryoishi]

For the IE ask game. 23, 25 and 29

23. favorite friendship(s)/characer dynamic(s): i don't really have favorites regarding this! since i feel like most of the friendship are very good but i'll just list those i like particularly. first off shindou and ibuki pleaseee the development they had.. and happy that i'm not bothered by it being seen as romantic because i would be dead now *clears throat* ahem. then we have norika and asuto and i have some silly little headcanons regarding them; i just really like how those of inakuni raimon were friends (this including obviously norika and asuto too) even before the story starts.. which has a lot of potential imo. another reason is that they're just very fun together + sorry this is canon only in my head but i just know norika and tsunami would be besties i have an au just for that okay

25. favorite protagonist(s): tenma. because tenma yknow? endou had impact on me almost as much as tenma but he's just very silly and i like the go series more than the og soo. as for asuto, sometimes i genuinely forget he's supposed to be the areori protagonist while unmei could be a close 2nd? we'll see when victory road releases but he stands out because all the protagonist are like "sakka yarouze!" with tenma being the most passionate (? he is projecting okay) while unmei literally hates football < this also makes bullying him easier he's a loser to me

29. headcanon(s) worth of sharing here: you summoned me. jk i'll just drop a list of random hcs i like

tsurugi has always cold hands

mentioned earlier but tsunami and norika are besties and while tsunami is hamano's single dad norika is his aunt can you see my vision

shindou and minaho have freckles naturally and its not an artistic choice (since i'm addicted to drawing them everywhere)

ichino is transfem

overspecific but i think gabriella is from emilia-romagna. sorry to everyone who has no idea where emilia-romagna is

Happy birthday, Makoto-kun~!! I’m looking forward to more ZIX releases~! 

[ninenloser]

Kurama: I've been dropping him the most obvious hints for like a year now. No response.

Hamano: Wow, he sounds stupid haha.

Kurama: But he's not! He's really smart, actually. Just dense.

Hamano: Maybe you need to be more obvious? Like, "hey, I love you!"

Kurama: Guess you're right.

Kurama: Hey, Hamano. I love you.

Hamano: Yes, exactly! Just say that!

Kurama, under his breath: For fuck's sake.

Hamano: If that flies over his head then, sorry Kurama, he's too dumb for you.

Kurama: Hamano...

[guidingthulite]
