SS Finals - Epilogue 3

Location: SS Stage (fine) Characters: Touri, Yuzuru, Eichi & Wataru

Touri: Anyway, I was out of it the entire time, so I’ve got no idea what’s going on. What happened? How many rounds have finished?

Yuzuru: The final round is about to begin. You have just barely made it for your turn, Young Master.

Touri: Oh, I see. That was close. I think I would regret it for life if I woke up and it was the new year already.

Eichi: Hehe. By the way, “Crazy:B” dropped a bomb right before the fourth round began and the entire “citizen voting” system fell apart because of it.

The representatives of each team took to the stage in turns while an investigation was being conducted.

But naturally, now that the voting system can no longer be trusted, the structure of the performance battles could no longer be maintained.

We can’t tell which unit got how many votes and which won against who now.

Touri: W–What do you mean?

Yuzuru: There are suspicions that the votes were rigged. It is still being investigated whether or not that is true.

Wataru: But the show must go on! And so the representatives of each team will take turns to stand on stage in the form of a “performance” instead of a “battle”!

“Crazy:B” and “ALKALOID” performed for the fourth round, then “Double Face” and “RYUUSEITAI” and just now, it was “Knights” and “Trickstar”...

They all received a storm of applause for their magnificent performances.

Yuzuru: It was very peaceful. Originally, all of the units were supposed to fight against one another and if it really was a performance battle, then it would have been quite a scene of carnage.

But there wasn’t an ounce of that – it was a performance of never-ending smiles. Both the idols and fans were able to have a lovely time together.

It was truly a wonderful sight. I wished you were able to see it, Young Master.

Touri: Uuu~... I–I’ll watch the recording later.

But I’m a bit relieved. I was worried about what sort of brutal atmosphere it would turn into, but from the sounds of it, it seems it was pretty peaceful?

Wataru: Indeed. Compared to the fierce first half, the viewers must have been relieved that they were able to simply enjoy the performances.

Look at the audience. Don’t they all look satisfied and happy?

Touri: Hmm… Yeah, it’s not like every single person wanted to see a muddy war.

They’re here because they want to see the idols that make them happy.

I’m sure this is for the best…♪

Eichi: Yeah. Perhaps we’ve finally become the idols that everyone was hoping for after coming so far.

Touri: I see. I want to be “that” too.

I want to be an idol that’s loved by everyone and who will make everyone happy!

Eichi: Your wish will come true, Touri. The final performance from the “General Leaders” will start soon. It’ll be a peaceful stage – not a battle.

By the way, they recorded a video of your adorable sleeping face with Hiyori-kun snuggled next to you and it has been shown all across the country.

“Eden” gave that announcement in order to dismiss the kidnapping allegations.

Touri: Huh? Kidnapping? What? Wait, you’re saying the entire country is gonna see me dozing off during such an important event like the “SS” Finals!?

I–I’m so embarrassed! I can’t get married now!

Eichi: It’s okay – If that happens, Yuzuru would be happy to take your hand in marriage.

Yuzuru: I think you’re an awful jerk for not using your own name there, Eichi-sama.

Wataru: Hehehe, I’m sure we’ve all breathed a sigh of relief now that Himegimi has returned, but let’s stop wasting time and prepare for the final performance! I shan’t allow any of you to perform in a shoddy manner when we’re on stage!

God may forgive you but the fans certainly won’t! Not even our pride will forgive us!

Come, everyone – let us put on the best idol performance one more time! Together! Just like our dear brethren who have performed thus far!

Eichi: You’re right. Let’s learn from their example and also do our best.

We’ll let our ensemble ring loud and clear to the whole world once more.

Bogie Time: The Jeering of the Jesters - 4

Writer: Akira

Season: Summer

Characters: Ibara, Tomoya, Jun, Nazuna, Hiyori, Hajime, Nagisa

Proofreading: royalquintet (JP) & Sophie + Skyress (ENG)

Translation: nazunyan427 & haranami & hyenahunt

Ibara: (It’s unlikely that they’d tell us to do something that would sully the good name of Eden, CosPro’s crown jewel.)

Ibara: (Hm. I anticipated that Team God would lose the most points during the morning, but it appears that they made it through unscathed…)

(Indeed, they passed with flying colors. Coming up with an unexpected solution is one of the most desirable outcomes when it comes to variety shows.)

(The other teams also carried out the order without too much trouble, so I suppose it’s safe to assume that there isn’t a large point gap between anyone at the moment.)

(In the end, I’d like for our team to be neither last place nor first — a position that doesn’t stand out, but…)

(Well, things have only just begun. It’s only natural that I’m still unable to predict how this battle will unfold.)

Tomoya: —Oh, right! Let’s not just stand around chatting; we’ve got 12pm’s order to follow!

Jun: Yeah. If we don't get a move on, it'll be time for the next order before we know it.

Carrying out both orders at the same time's gonna be a pain, and it'd throw the audience for a loop, too.

Nazuna: Uh, what was 12pm’s order again?

Hiyori: It seems like CosPro's up for today's schedule, so the next order is apparently from 2wink. All they said for now was that they'd like us to head for the canteen, but —

Ibara: I doubt that’ll be all. If our mere arrival was worth a hundred points, this would be far too easy.

(Hm, it appears that 2wink is in charge of the next order. That gives me peace of mind; those two have good heads on their shoulders.)

(It’s unlikely that they’d tell us to do something that would sully the good name of Eden, CosPro’s crown jewel.)

(As fellow members of CosPro, they’d also suffer from the consequences of our agency losing face.)

Hajime: Oh, there’s something else written here too.

“Great job so far guys! This is the older of 2wink, the two-in-one twin idol unit, the guy who brings life to every party —me, Hinata!”

—Aw, thank you!

Tomoya: You sound like a radio presenter, Hajime.

Hiyori: Hehe. Unlike Valkyrie, they took the chance to talk themselves up. Certainly seems in-character for them!

Hajime: “We racked our brains over what kind of order to send you guys, so we decided to try this out as a trial run!”

“We want you guys to have an eating contest—a staple for reality TV and delicious in more than one way!”

“They’re about to bring in one hundred meat buns per person and for every bun you eat, you’ll get one point!”

Tomoya: No way—who’s gonna eat one hundred meat buns? That’s impossible! Hinata and Yuta might be fine ‘cause they’re gluttons, but my stomach’ll burst!

Hajime: “—Is what Tomo-kun’ll probably complain about, so we prepared some special bonus points too!” That’s also written here.

Tomoya: Bonus points?

Hajime: “Physically they look the same as all the other meat buns, but hiding among each pile is a handful of Hinata Meat Buns and Yuta Meat Buns.”

“If you manage to eat one of these super special meat buns, you’ll get 100 points for each one!”

Nagisa: …That’s a rather steep increase. Point-wise, eating a single special bun is equivalent to completing the morning order without making any mistakes.

Jun: Well, it's a pretty common thing in variety shows.

Hajime: “However, each super special meat bun has a super special flavor!”

“The Yuta Meat Bun is so hellishly spicy that you’ll spit flames outta your mouth! And the Hinata Meat Bun is so sweet that you’ll be lucky to get off with heartburn alone!”

“Also, once you’ve tasted a meat bun, you’ve gotta finish the whole thing!”

“If you can’t finish a regular meat bun, you’ll lose one point. And if you can’t finish one of the super special meat buns, it’s bye-bye to one hundred points!”

Tomoya: No way, losing one hundred points in one go is just painful! I can’t eat that many meat buns in the first place, so I’ve gotta think about how many points I can accumulate and then just withdraw.

Ibara: You could also not eat any of them — although you’d gain no points, you’d at least be spared from losing any. But that would leave a bad impression; it would be as though you were completely ignoring the order.

Nazuna: I dunno. I feel like our Mitsuru-chin’s just gonna shove them into his mouth without paying attention to whether they’re sweet or spicy, and in that case Team God could end up taking this by a huge margin.

Hajime: “Okay, you guys understand the rules? Then go eat your fill of meat buns before they get cold! We’re rooting for you guys!☆”

“PS! Who would be better for a variety show than 2wink? How could you not let us appear on this show, Vice Prez?”

“CosPro day? More like, welcome to hell itself!”

“We’ll make sure you regret leaving us out! Don’t expect us to take it easy on you at all!” ...That’s all.

Ibara: You don’t understand, Hinata-kun.

This project is a collaboration between the four agencies, so we couldn’t have the participants solely be members of CosPro…

Hajime: Ahaha. 2wink probably figured as much and just added that part as a joke.

(Still, in reality, 2wink would probably be able to pull off this whole variety show shtick way better than me…)

(I’m happy about trying out something new, but I really am worried if I’ll be able to get through what I need to do or not.)

[lucifersus]

Watching HunterxHunter and I really want to see Shun and Hajime in the HunterxHunter world!!!!

They would be so cool~I wonder what their Nen ability would be? 

Join me there~hehe~Shun and Hajime~ 

I mean seeing all of Tsukiuta in HunterxHunter would be cool but it’s the Black King and White Demon Lord~ 

I feel like if they were in isekai they would be able to like rule the world or something. Shun would probably defeat the Demon Lord so he could become the new Demon Lord lol and Hajime would unite all the lands. 

Hmm sometimes it would be nice if the juniors and middles would have more dynamic...the seniors seem to be the one who can survive in a battle world the most. 

Well yes they’re idols but it’s not necessarily about the battle but strength of character? Like surviving a death game, an isekai world...

(You: What kind of crazy world did you live in)

A crazy world indeed! 

They will be battle-hardened okay? Look forward to it!

(You: What did you just say)

I mean, my - people~will be battle hardened. 

Or do you want to go through some trial to unleash your human potential! Unleash your human imagination like Tsukino Empire says!

(You: Yeah we already fought you just don’t see.)

Fufu. But the seniors are on a different level though? 

(You: No denial. Tsu ka why am I the only one speaking)

Because you weren’t supposed to talk in this post ...

(You: ...Whatever. So what is battle-hardened to you?)

Aw don’t sulk You~

And it’s showing it? *muses* Standing confident in your own power. 

To the extent you know you can fight if you need to.

(You: I can but I don’t want to? There’s no reason to.)

Hmmmm okay. 

Anyway Hajime and Shun! 

Would be so cool in the HunterxHunter world~

thoughts on each nct unit

oh thats a good one... ok this got so fucking long IM SORRY

nct 127 - i love them a lot they're obv my main fandom and as individuals they're breathtaking just like all of nct but... the line distribution is always terribly unbalanced with mark and taeyong eating up the entire song every single title track. moreover i definitely have a problem with taeyong's voice ( though that's not only in nct 127 ) and it really sucks because in baby don't stop he had sung lines and his voice was perfectly fine - they're obsessed with making him a rapper and they shouldn't ? he's a great vocalist, sm should acknowledge that more often. i get wanting more rappers but like if you're gonna have a rapper idk make it one of the boys who barely get lines like sicheng or yuta lol, even jaehyun is more of a vocalist than a rapper so making him a rapper is weird... johnny's right there anyway he needs lines too and i think he is supposed to be a rapper so. i really wrote a lot just for taeyong i'm sorry skshsjsb just a bit annoyed his actual skills get overlooked by sm even though he's nct's poster boy with mark.

we need ot10 back together soon but honestly having sicheng in both nct 127 and wayv was... a terrible move. very different units, both very busy bc they're focused on different marketing when it comes to who they want to reach, sicheng will have to sacrifice more than one nct 127 or wayv comeback to be with the other group that's promoting at the time like we saw with superhuman, wakey wakey, while he was with wayv for regular and take off ( even tho he got no real lines in regular... clowns sm ). it's just a shame sm can't even stick to their actual units and give them proper managing. also nctzens need to realise taeil & doyoung aren't the only vocalists, jaehyun is amazing and in fact so is jungwoo ? nobody ever talks about his vocals but he is... great hello ? i'm gonna waste so much time on hyuck rn so hold on.

the way sm won't acknowledge hyuck's vocal prowesses also bothers me. he's been improving a LOT and if your focus is on hitting high notes this boy can hit crazy high notes just like taeil, sm just won't give him the lines bc they're milking taeil's voice and that's all they use him for ( which i hate... i love taeil so much when will sm treat his artists right lol !!! ). he's also a great dancer but i think people forgot he was great because of his hiatus and like ok but he's been back for months haha. one last thing... let the members collab w/ artists who aren't jason derulo please n thank yooou.

now... to stop criticising sm's management for now... nct 127 is a great subunit. the members have real chemistry and work off one another very well, the unit remains diverse and the songs are PHENOMENAL. i don't care what anyone says about cherry bomb or firetruck it's just that people have bad taste i won't hear it. the visuals are always amazing, except johnny's wig in wakey wakey but that's in the past... i like the differences we see from cb to cb and yet it remains true to nct 127. you know which subunit you're listening to even with the contrasts and that's Cool, yeehaw ! i think i can shut up abt 127 now lmao.

wayv - TRANSCENDENT. seven members, not too few nor too many, the line distribution isn't too bad for once ( except regular but that's just how regular is i GUESS, also ten is definitely being favoured ), the main dancers get to show their abilities ( though i'd have enjoyed more centre time for sicheng in take off bc... that was really ten's song in all aspects lmao ), i don't know about the other wayv rappers' singing abilities but chill rapper lucas was a good pick. i'll say yangyang and hendery aren't too bad either ! xiaojun's vocals make a man dreamy ( i am a man ), kun... should get more lines hehe of course he should i love his voice and he just doesn't get enough yet. like i said they really favoured ten with their actual debut, looking forward to see how they handle the line distribution in the future. the management must be a bit different given wayv isn't only sm from what i understood ? it's a bit too soon for me to properly have an opinion on wayv aside from what i said about sicheng earlier and well, the line distribution and centre time overall. ten is my wayv bias but like, the others should still get some attention, they're not idols just to look pretty in the background lol.

nct dream - as individuals i LOVE them of COURSE i do... but this subunit's concept is a bit clanky to me. the whole graduating thing leaves a bitter taste in my mouth especially considering mark just graduated which means the 00 liners will graduate this year... all four of them... and hyuck hasn't even made a cb with dream yet. they'll probably introduce new members in the upcoming months but watching it unfold makes me worry about an nct dream with just chenle and jisung, now i'd love a song with both of them but maybe not as nct dream lol. thankfully they also hope they'll be able to have nct u songs as og nct dream which is what i was definitely hopeful for so it might happen, not yet but maybe some day.

sm made nct dream but everyone including nct dream got SO attached to the og unit it just feels like it can't work, especially since it's been three years and no new members have been introduced yet. it's been og nct dream up until december 2018, there had been no changes, sm just... handled this bad once again ? lmao. idk how to explain it but that sums it up ? aside from that i have nothing to say about the line distribution and all, i think it's handled pretty well on dream's side... even though the only dream content we've gotten this year was dnyl akshdjh. i love it of course but like it's not an actual dream cb so it's a bit... yeah.

and now the one we can all agree on,

NCT U THE BITCH

this unit has SO MUCH potential. it could be used SO WELL if the management wasn't done by sm. we could get the best bg content sm could put out without shinee and ot9 exo but we are let down TIME and TIME again. i won't even develop on that because i know everyone thinks the same so i don't have to do the maths for you skhsjsdjdhdj, this just gets me so Mad i hate sm's management so much. it's like they think that bc they've got the best artists out of the big 3 and so they can just do whatever they want and it'll pass but i can't STAND THIS holy fuck bring back f(x) you fuckin uglies stop clowning rv let suju disband at LAST do SOMETHING RIGHT

tl;dr the boys good sm bad

[ohoshi]

yess the part where johnny bumped into taeyong was cool!! ty looks so cool while performing gosh 😌 i think ive watched that nct u class performance so many times by now, im still not over it for some reason hahaha

OMG I KNOW XIAOJUN BEING RELEVANT!! YES!! honestly im so glad that during nct 2020 a lot of the wayv members got to show their skills and how theyve improved (like xiaojun, hendery, yangyang) and i hope this keeps going (i feel like winwin esp couldve been showcased more? maybe it's hard with soo many members and i dont wanna be *that* fan...but he was the leader of the 90s love unit and had like 2 lines lol)

omg yes shotaro!! you never couldve known he debuted just 2 MONTHS AGO but i agree even in maw u can tell that the boy got moves! i feel so proud of him and hes so cute 😊 i agree, sign me up too for the idols who have such duality!! they were all so good (as expected)!!

WAIT LMAO SO SORRY i just fact checked myself and haikyuu actually has 4 seasons 😂 😅 there was like a 4 year gap between s3 and s4 so i think i felt like it was 2 seasons lmaoo. lately i have been more okay watching ongoing shows bc it gives me something to look forward to every week! but i usually do binge shows, which is why im a little sad that the uncanny counter is ongoing so i am forced to wait 😭 i must say though my binging skills are amazing...my one talent in life 🤣

her private life is another fake relationship kdrama (the main girl character is a fangirl and she runs a blog for her bias ahaha relatable??), and i think crash landing on you has some fake relationship things?? obviously it's not the main focus of the drama but crash landing is iconic u gotta watch, be prepared to cry tho if you get emotional watching these things like me 😭 because this is my first life was also good (i've heard some ppl get frustrated by the main guy character's lack of emotion though but i liked the writing and it's worth giving it a shot if you want!) i love the fake relationship and the enemies to lovers tropes, so if you come across any that are good pls let me know hehe

SVT yes that part in home where they choreographed like a house imagery with their hands was so cool!! the choreo is just so detailed (like i think there was a part that looked like they were opening a door bc it's "home"), i had heard svt is self produced and thats so amazing! theyre so talented and their performances are so good (the ones i've seen so far). i watched their mafia dance video for left and right and it was so FUNNY HAHAHAA they seem so chaotic i love it (also i love the mafia dances in general lol like nct dream did it for we go up). i'm going to try to learn svt's names (which i usually do by just watching crack videos about the group on youtube lmao) so stay tuned 👀 coming from nct, 13 members doesnt even seem like a lot to me anymore hahaha and i think im usually good with names so we'll see! i am also curious to see if i end up stanning dino :)) who are your svt biases??

haha yes i can understand xj/hn/lc without subtitles!! it's interesting because i think all 3 of them are from different places so their canto actually sounds a bit different from each other! but when i hear wayv speaking canto it feels so familiar bc i really only speak cantonese with my family, and it's such a weird but also good feeling and it makes me feel warm :) wayv is the unit that feels like ur close friends (whereas dreamies have best chemistry and i think i like 127’s music most? (but ofc i do actually like all the units songs hahah))

🥺yeah me too! i’m glad wayv members became more relevant thanks to nct 2020! honestly they are soooo good and they deserve all the attention! and winwin 💔 honestly i’m so happy he is in wayv now where he is being appreciated more! where he gets the lines and screentime! he deserves it 😤 of course you’re gonna be *that* fan! we’re all *that* fan 😤 the leader of the unit got 2 lines 😤 smh 😤

omg 4 year gap???? that’s a lot 😳 what for?? i guess the 4 year gap is the reason the show is still airing after all these years lmao when i saw gifs on my dash my reaction was wtf when did haikyuu become one piece what have i missed and then i googled and saw that the anime has 80+ episodes????? ABOUT VOLLEYBALL???? 😳 WILD

ohhh i see you have something to look forward to hmm that makes sense? maybe i should try it, especially since it’s most likely not as consuming as binge watching!! but yeah same, binge watching tv shows is one of my talents 😏

her private life is about a girl who runs a blog about her bias? there’s a whole kdrama about me? are you kidding me rn? never knew someone would be inspired by me or us for that matter? since we’re both just two little human beings running a blog about their biases<3 OMGGGG when am i gonna get the time to watch all of these drama 😭 hopefully really soon, but knowing how busy my college life can be (and esp rn) probs not 🤕 if i ever come across any drama that you haven’t watched already i will most likely recommend it to you!!!!

AHDGAGHFSDGH i love when idols play mafia game of any kind and i think that svt’s left and right is my favorite mafia dance ajfdshgadfshga they’re so chaotic and funny and omg vernon was so good tho?????? 😳 i was impressed bc i could never lie so well ahgdfags yeah it’s not that hard to remember all 13 of them especially because all of them are so different (i mean all of the members in all of the groups are always so different but ajdsgakja for whatever reason svt to me seemed the most uhhh versatile from the others?? like for example woozi is so smol it’s easy to remember him, and then seungkwan is the loud one, and then mingyu and jeonghan are pretty ones, joshua the charming one, sweet one, my biases are the best<3 etc but i mean THIS COULD BE JUST ME AJDGAJSH maybe i’m just too biased bc i love them so much sigh) anyways,,,,,, there’s a lot of ICONIC SVT CONTENT SO  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ welcome we have cookies, relax and enjoy yourself, the ride to being 500% whipped for svt begins right here, i recommend to you their pot and hammer game bc i love to watch when idols play it and svt? CHAOTIC AS ALWAYS! 

OK MY SVT BIASES 🥺 ok first of all here’s a digression: usually when i get into a kpop group i have like 3 different positions, 1) love at first sight - which is the person who i’m attracted to right from the second?? like the first person i see and i’m like oh //they// kinda like the way you’re attracted to dino’s dancing and stuff; 2) first bias - which is the person i just pick for whatever reason //ok they’re gonna be my bias//; 3) the actual bias - after watching a lot of content and listening to the music and getting to know the group in general i then choose //THE BIAS// or rather the bias chooses me bc it’s out of my control i just love them whoever they are! and with svt 🥺 all of the 3 were one guy (the only other time this happened to me is w nct dream lmao) 🥺 and i love him so much! one and only: xu minghao! (aka the8) 🥰 he’s one of the lead dancers and 1/2 china line in svt and he can sing! he can rap! and boy can he dance 😭 i just 🥺 love him 🥺 my other svt bias (whom, tbh, i don’t love nearly as much as i love minghao but i still love him very much<3) is wen junhui! (aka jun) 🥰 he is the other lead dancer and 2/2 china line in svt (this is random: but i really love china line in kpop??? like idek why? i mean of course i don’t care about their nationality or whatever but i’ve just noticed that for whatever reason the ones i tend to love and bias are more often than not chinese) and i know i know you asked ‘hey cora who are your svt biases??’ and everything i was supposed to say was ‘hey santa it’s the8 and jun!’ but no i had to be EXTRA bc guess what? well I AM EXTRA!!! bc i got excited i really love them 😭 (esp minghao<3 lately he’s been my ultimate bias so  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

OMG I AM SO JEALOUS OF YOU RN? you can understand them without titles? lucky!!!!!! but the fact that it feels familiar and it makes you feel warm<3 is so precious<3 so cute!! so wayv feels like home? 🥺 bc you only speak cantonese with your family? this is so 🥺 i’m not crying you’re crying 🥺 teach me something in cantonese?? like?? actually, first tell me is it too different from mandarin??? and then teach me something? how do i say i love you? or hi and bye lmao and thank you? yk the basics! and i mean of course that we all love all units songs i mean!! we’re here for all the mess those 23 boys give us but!! i think i’d be biased and pick nct dream’s music<3 but i love wayv and 127 so much as well 😭

Monsta X: Beautiful in San Francisco - Fan Experience

ayooo i was asked to post about the monsta x concert i just went to (and also i want a record of what happened before i forget) so here it is!! under the cut are my pre, during, and post-show experiences/thoughts!!

pre-show

okay so my friend and i planned to get boba from boba guys and fries from super duper for dinner

me being me, i planned for us to meet at 5 so we had enough time to eat and digest for the show

i leave my house around 3:45 bc i was gonna bus over while my friend was gonna get dropped off at boba guys

in the end we ended up getting sharetea and meeting at super duper an hour later than when we were supposed to meet for the following reasons:

i got to the area before my friend

I WALKED THE WHOLE ASS TUNNEL BETWEEN DOWNTOWN AND CHINATOWN FOR NO REASON i was so heated omg

the line for boba guys was out the door and down the block so i was like girl… we gotta yeet

i left to get sharetea but my friend for some reason thought we were still gonna meet at boba guys so she had to walk down to the mall

she ended up getting lost and going to chinatown

meanwhile i was trying to find sharetea bc i didnt even know they had one in the mall

ended up ordering for both of us and agreeing to meet at super duper

also i saw some monbebes in the mall while i was waiting for my drinks hehe i peeped ur shirts

we got to the warfield at 7 when the doors were supposed to open and y’all the line was so long that it like wrapped around the block and the end was right by the entrance

i got gnarly cramps in both of my legs within five minutes of each other and they hurt like a damn bitch let me tell you

i felt really bad bc i like fell to the floor in the middle of the line and some of the people behind us were like omg are you okay and i was like yes pls just go around me i’ll be okay

and then the cramp went away and the people held our spots for us!! such kind people ily if you’re reading this

we got in right at 8 when the show was supposed to start (but they ended up starting later which im just assuming was so that everyone could get in)

during-show

y’all everyone kept screaming even tho the boys weren’t on stage yet and it hella freaked out my friend and i when we left to get water

we literally rushed back and my friend tripped up the stairs but it’s fine we made it back in time

anyway their energy is just off the charts like i was hyped as hell from beginning to end. they really know how to bring a crowd up and their stage presence is amazing. no awkward moments whatsoever and very smooth transitions from one stage to the next i was actually really impressed

and they said the bay had the realest energy and i was ready to NUT

my heart cried when they left a mic stand for hyungwon for ex girl, i really love how thoughtful the boys are when a member is missing. they take ohana to a new level it’s just endearing to see how much they truly care for one another

i would also like to have a moment of appreciation bc they didn’t say san fran at all?? i was lowkey expecting them to but they didn’t :’) (pls never say san fran it’s a big no from me)

wonho lowkey tried to throw chocolate to the upper balcony i saw him aiming a bit higher and i appreciate his effort so much

also as a former tech crew member in high school, a moment of appreciation for all the tech effects, they really added to the whole experience of the show and i thoroughly enjoyed the different effects and the timing of everything

appreciation for the stage hands who brought the bench on stage, i hope y’all heard me cheer for you bc i know what that’s like

also… i really loved seeing all the spike tape on the stage for whatever reason

anyway back to the boys

minhyuk jooheon kihyun and i.m came out and they asked us who was the most romantic (i said kihyun bc that boy was smooth as shit in that one video) and a lot of people said minhyuk so they made him do aegyo and OMFG MINHYUK’S AEGYO HAHAHAHA THAT SHIT WAS SO FUNNY all he said was “san francisco… oh my god” and then he kept repeating oh my god and OMG and he and jooheon were switching off and their voices were getting lower and i.m was like “yo this is not cute this is just weird” i got it on video if anyone wants to see it lmao

and then wonho and shownu came out like “…what kind of weird things were you guys talking about”

speaking of videos, all the videos i have of their songs are shaky af bc i was bopping at the same time but if anyone still wants to see them i can send a google drive link your way hehe

from zero was the cutest shit ever. im still really sad hyungwon couldnt make it but the sub did a great job in his place!!

i needa take a moment to just talk about wonho bc that man can go from cocky daddy to a total sweetie. like… he totally knows he’s a walking sex god (a small moment of silence for when kihyun just like pulled wonho’s jacket down to try to expose his arms during his intro) but then he’ll talk about how he tried to perform extra well to make up for hyungwon not being there and he’s trying to put on a better show and you can really tell how much he cares about us and ugh 

ALSO

WONHO IS SCULPTED BY THE GODS I WAS WAAAAAY UP IN THE UPPER BALCONY AND EVEN I COULD SEE HOW DEFINED HE IS SO PROPS TO HIM

i popped the FUCK off at the 24k magic cover oh my god y’all i love bruno and i got so excited when shownu minhyuk and i.m covered it, and it was so damn lit. like i was a lil bummed when i found out they werent gonna do the second verse bc it’s my fav part of the song but i.m’s rap was AMAZING and fit really well and oh my god don’t even get me started on the dance breaks omfffff

their outfits were cute as shit too

also appreciation for i.m’s voice. i just really like his voice im such a slut for deep voices ok this is why he’s my wrecker

jooheon and kihyun are just something else when they come together, i love what they’re able to offer to each other and able to create as a unit it’s just really cool to see :’)

also i must say… seeing jooheon’s deep ass dimples and kihyun’s nice ass cheekbones are such a blessing

OH AND THEIR AEGYO

THE AIR... POP SHIT BRUH I WAS DED

THE RED OUTFITS ARE SUCH A LOOK UGHHH

i almost cried when broken heart came on, such a beautiful song AND THEY LEFT A SPACE IN THE MIDDLE FOR HYUNGWON UGH MY HEART

blind, trespass, and rush were arguably the most hype songs of the night, like ive never went so hard in my life

also a moment to talk about shownu bc like… idk i’ve noticed he’s a lot more quiet than other leaders of idol groups so i wasn’t really sure what to expect but i gained so much respect for him?? he has great stage presence and is really well-spoken and charismatic damn gemini AND HE’S JUST SO TALENTED

omg there was this one part where wonho said “hyungwon actually made a recovery earlier than expected” and like the way he said it made it seem like hyungwon was gonna make a surprise appearance but nah

but it’s okay bc they all said they wanna come back to the bay asap and y’all can BET i’ll be there

i appreciated their english speaking, like during their intros and goodbyes it was heartwarming to see their efforts to communicate w us

surprisingly they didnt really talk much about how it was their 800 days?? idk i was kinda expecting them to address it but they didnt

omg their bows were adorable, they like held hands and moved across the stage in a line to bow to different parts of the venue it was so cute to watch

post-show

my friend and i waited in the merch line that moved pretty quickly actually?? but there were only stickers left and i thought it was more important for my friend to get something bc it was her first concert and she really wanted something to remember it by so i passed (also stickers were $25 what even)

but it’s cool bc she let me have a hyungwon sticker (and a cute lil logo bc there were two of them)!! theyre probably gonna live in my phone case bc i have a clear one so y’all BET im taking my mans everywhere w me

she really enjoyed herself which i was really happy to see!! being there for someone’s first concert is magical 10/10 would recommend

i also enjoyed myself in case i didnt make that clear lmao. despite the rough pre-concert experience, seeing those boys do their thing made everything worth it and i’m so glad i got to experience their first world tour :’) also ive never let loose to the extent that i did sober tonight so props to monsta x for bringing out my bay area hyphy lmaooo

i just wanna say thank you to monsta x for coming to sf, putting on a good show, and making us feel loved and appreciated. i was hella surprised when an sf show was announced considering most groups usually just go to LA, so thanks for giving the bay a chance and showing us such a fun time!!

and shoutout to the monbebes for being such a cute crowd. i loved seeing everyone waving their light sticks and arms and just having a good time, and cheering so hard for these talented and hardworking men

also seeing everyone come out of hi-touch all happy and smiley and starstruck was the cutest thing, so if you got to experience that i’m so happy for you and i hope you enjoyed seeing those boys up close!! would’ve done it myself but im an unemployed college kid so anything over $100 wasn’t an option for me

((another also, im v sorry to everyone behind me if my aggressive arm waving got in the way of your view i was enjoying myself way too much))

all in all, my first kpop concert was a huge success!! came in not knowing what to expect (it’s a bit different from the other shows/concerts ive been to in the past, but a good different!!), but still had a lit ass night :)

A Vivid Training Camp♪ Event Scenario Ep 7-11

Episode 7

Interviewer: Today we'll be working with Akari Ozora, Sumire Hikami, and…

Juri: I'm Juri Kurebayashi. Nice to meet you!

Interviewer: The units Luminas and Passionate Jalapeno, which Hinaki-chan is in.

Hinaki: Yes, we have a shoot with everyone here today.

[Scene Transition]

Cameraman: We're ready! Please go first, Hinaki-chan.

Hinaki: Yes, coming~! Okay, see you later, guys!

Akari: Yeah, do your best~! Huh? Are you not going, Mr. Interviewer?

Interviewer: Yes, this is a rare opportunity, so I thought I'd ask everyone here a few questions.

Sumire: Us…?

Interviewer: Yes...From your point of view, what kind of person is Hinaki-chan?

Juri: I see, so it's a question that you can't ask in front of her! Well, first of all, she's my partner!

Sumire: Yeah, Juri-chan and Hinaki-chan truly feel like partners!

Akari: It's like they can read each others minds. Only they can pull that off!

Sumire: She's also really considerate. She just naturally supports you in many ways…

Akari: Yep, yep. She always looks at her surroundings and helps us.

Sumire: She's always working straight towards her goal of being the idol she wants to be.

Juri: Also,  she's actually super competitive! She actually has as passionate of a heart as me hidden underneath…

Akari: Yeah, I totally get what you mean! That gap…

Hinaki: Hmmm…?

Akari&Juri&Sumire: …!

Hinaki: And, and?

Juri: …..Huh, Hinaki?

Akari: H-Hinaki-chan? Y-You already finished your shoot…?

Hinaki: Yeah, I feel bad making you guys wait so I did my best...And rushed back as fast as I could, and what do you know...You guys...How...How dare you guys say such embarrassing things~!?

Akar&Juri&Sumire: Eeeeek~!!

[Scene Transition]

Hinaki: Ahaha! Those guys…

Interviewer: You sure are good friends.

Hinaki: Yes! They're always helping me out! There's a bunch of things I overcame because they were there...Oh no! It's getting late! I gotta water the miracle flower!

Interviewer: Let's hurry! Hinaki-chan!

Hinaki: Yes! Sorry for the rush!

Episode 8

Kayoko: Okay! Tomorrow's finally the day of the party! Since all three of us are here, let's just have a training camp like this!

Mikuru: Sounds great! It's almost time to water the miracle flower for the last time, so let's all do it together!

Hinaki: Yes! It'll be so exciting to see how it blooms with the three of us finishing it up!

Kayoko: Then let's have a meeting and eat until it's time!

[Scene Transition]

Mikuru: Kayokocchi was so funny when we were watering the flower~!

Hinaki: Ahaha! She was praying that it'll bloom beautifully the whole time.

Mikuru: Ah~ But to think today's the last day. It sure went by fast~

Hinaki: Yes~ I still can't really believe that tomorrow's the actual party.

Mikuru: There was a ton of stuff to do everyday, so~ Daily Aikatsu!, taking care of flowers, plus you also had preparations for your live tomorrow.

Hinaki: That's what I had fun doing, though.

Mikuru: Oh right, you also had the closeup coverage, huh.

Hinaki: Th-that's…

Mikuru: Ahaha♪ Did you get used to having the camera beside you all the time?

Hinaki: Ahahahaha...I decided to not worry about it anymore.

Mikuru: Yeah, that's probably a good idea♪ ...So, did you find it? The answer to what you were worrying about.

Hinaki: ...Remember what you said to me before? That the more care you put into flowers, the more beautiful they'll bloom. And that what's important is if you can put your all into something so you won't regret.

Mikuru: Yeah~ We were talking with just the two of us like now.

Hinaki: So, I was thinking. It’s like  the smiles of all our fans. The harder we try, the more beautifully they'll bloom.

Mikuru: Yeah, it's the same as Aikatsu!

Hinaki: If it's a live, they're right in front of you...Even for modeling, I can feel my fans smiling through the approval of the cameraman, but…

Mikuru: So that's why you were worried. They don't just give you approval when you're doing a closeup coverage.

Hinaki: Yes...But, I finally realized. The camera for the closeup coverage isn't connected to the present, but the future...In front of the TV in the future, I'm sure all my fans will be smiling. So I thought I just have to do my best like I always do.

Mikuru: Hehe, right! Yeah, I'm sure that's the case♪ But the flowers you'll be blooming tomorrow are the ones right in front of you! I'll do it with the miracle flower, and you…

Hinaki: Yes! With the stage.

Mikuru: Let's make them at full bloom tomorrow!

Hinaki: Yes♪

Episode 9

Hinaki: Haah, haaah…! Mikuru-san!

Mikuru: Oh, Hinaki…

Hinaki: Um, I heard from the staff that the miracle flower didn't bloom...Kayoko-san's occupied because the party's starting soon…

Mikuru: Thanks for coming even though your live is soon, too. This isn't good...Really, I wonder what's wrong? The bud is so big and the leaves are this healthy, too...But...Why isn't it blooming…?

Audience: Wow~!!

Mikuru: Oh, the party started...I'm over the time limit...I gotta apologize to Kayokocchi…

Hinaki: Mikuru-san...Not yet! There's still time! The more care you put into flowers, the more beautifully they'll bloom, right!?

Mikuru: Yeah, that's right, but…

Hinaki: I know for a fact! About how much work you put into taking care of it! So there's no way it won't bloom beautifully!

Mikuru: Hinaki…!

Hinaki: I'm sure it'll bloom soon! It's probably just a bit of a sleepyhead. So I'll wake it up!

Mikuru: Wake it up!? How!?

Staff: Hinaki-chan! Please get on stage!

Hinaki: Yes! Coming!

Mikuru: I see! So you're gonna wake it up with your live!

Hinaki: Mikuru-san! I'll make a miracle happen!

Mikuru: ...Huh?

Hinaki: Please watch Hinaki's miracle!

Mikuru: ! That's my line...Ahaha♪ Yeah! I'm counting on you! Can you wake up this sleepyhead with your super morning call?

Hinaki: Yes! Please leave it to me! Okay then, off I go!

Episode 10

Mikuru: It's over now…

Hinaki: Yes...It is…

Mikuru: I was watching the flowers you bloomed. The audience's smiles at full bloom. Plus...A large wreath of the miracle flower...Shining gold...Like a miracle.

Hinaki: You were the one who made it bloom.

Mikuru: No, it's you. I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to wake up that sleepyhead by myself.

Hinaki: Sleepyhead, huh...I wonder if that's why it grew so big?

Mikuru: Like that old saying that kids who sleep up grow big? Ahaha, maybe?

Kayoko: Geez, you two, you were the BEST! Thanks~!

Hinaki: Woah, Kayoko-san!

Kayoko: Gosh, the party was a huge success! This is like, totally thanks to you guys? Hinaki-chan's stage was like, the best, too! And Mikuru-chan's miracle flower, too! What was that!? That super cool flower that's all big and gold like the sun! Isn't that a first?

Mikuru: That flower bloomed thanks to Hinaki's miracle…

Hinaki: Like I said, it's Mikuru-sans'~…

Kayoko: Ahaha, I get it, I get it. Then it's thanks to both of your strengths combined!

Hinaki: Yes! If it wasn't for Mikuru-san, I would still be worrying! It's thanks to Mikuru-san teaching me so much!

Mikuru: ...Hinaki...Okay. Then that's settled.

Kayoko: Yeah, yeah! This flower's miracle wouldn't have happened if either one of you were missing!

Mikuru: Hmmm~...Kayokocchi, I don't think it's two.

Hinaki: Yes! Kayoko-san's needed, too!

Kayoko: Really? So it's like, a miracle from the three of us?

Hinaki: Yes, like, a miracle♪

Mikuru: Then let's make these miracles keep going from now on, too…!

Kayoko: Then, shall we do that?

Hinaki: Let's~!

Mikuru: One, two, three!

Kayoko&Mikuru&Hinaki: Let's show our miracle~!

Episode 11

TV: Hinaki Shinjo Documentary ~Fin~

Mizuki: Hehe, we really need to keep our eyes peeled for Shinjo now.

Mikuru: I know~ Hinaki's so cool~…

Mizuki: Why are you so down? It's cool Shinjo's closeup documentary.

Mikuru: I mean..Ugh~...I was supposed to be the teacher, too~

Mizuki: Teacher? Ooh, right, you were teaching her gardening.

Mikuru: But I was the one who ended up getting help. I'm a failure of a teacher~

Mizuki: Really? I don't think so.

Mikuru: No, I guess teaching is really hard after all~...But you're really amazing at it. You're always teaching and pulling everyone along.

Mizuki: Even I'm always desperately searching for something I can do. And...Don't you think you were a big help to Shinjo?

Mikuru: You say that, but if you ask if can be confident about it…

Mizuki: You're fine. I mean…

[Scene Transition]

Hinaki: Yes...Yes...A model job...Huh, at Paris!? Um, if the schedule's...Yes, I got it!

Akari: Wow, that's so cool~ Hinaki-chan.

Sumire: It's like the whole world is has its attention on her.

Madoka: That closeup documentary was so amazing.

Rin: It was full of Hinaki-senpai's charm.

Hinaki: No...That wasn't just me. It's all because of Kayoko-san, Mikuru-san, and you guys supporting me! Thank you so much!

Juri: Gracias! In other words, that's our line! I'm happy if I'm able to support you.

Hinaki: Right! Thanks, Juri♪ No matter the job, it's all Aikatsu! If I just work hard as I usually do, I'm sure beautiful flowers of smiles will bloom to match!

Akari: Yeah! You're right!

Madoka: It'd be so wonderful if you can bloom the hall full of flowers of smiles~!

Rin: Yeah! It'd be the best if you could see that view every time!

Sumire: We should do our best so we can see it every time…!

Akari: We still have so much to do! Aikatsu is so exciting!

Juri: ¡Divertido! We can show that we can overcome anything!

Hinaki: Alright~! I'll keep painting the world Hinaki-colour from now on, too~♪

Phantom Airship - Beyond the Imaginary: Chapter 8

Location: ES Prop Room Characters: Sora, Natsume & Tsumugi

TL Note:

For those who don’t know, “Phantom-kun” refers to Mayoi.

Tsumugi: Ohh… Hiiro-kun is making some lovely steps~

He started becoming quite careful halfway through, but I think his dancing is turning out quite refined and beautiful.

Hiiro-kun learns the basics rather quickly, but I don’t think he’s very good at freestyle. The trial at “Miniature Island” is harder than it looks.

Perhaps that tornado…

Did it look up each member’s weakness and send them to a matching island?

Natsume: HeHE. You’re quite sharp, SenpAI. I have to give a handicap of this level to them otherwise it’ll be far too eaSY.

But that’s still nowhere near the true essence of the “Phantom AirshIP”.

Right, SoRA?

Tsumugi: ? What else is there?

Sora: One of the features of the “Phantom Airship” is to overcome weaknesses.

But something important to new units that have just been created lies within the “Phantom Airship”.

So here’s a question for you, Senpai! What do you think that important thing is?

Tsumugi: What~? I wouldn’t have a clue…

Friendship, I suppose?

Sora: That’s close! Sora thinks that answer is correct in a way.

But the real answer is racing towards the same goal together~

Tsumugi: Racing towards the same goal together…

Sora: Yup. There would be a lot of reasons to put together a unit, but without a shared goal in mind, the unit will fall apart.

This “Phantom Airship” is a video game that makes you confront yourself if you’re in a unit that has fallen apart~♪

Tsumugi: Umm. If that’s the case, then I think we can breathe a sigh of relief with “ALKALOID”. They all get along just fine and they’re running forwards with a shared goal, right?

Even if they didn’t use the “Phantom Airship”, I don’t think their goal would have changed…?

Natsume: You really aren’t a good judge of people, SenpAI.

Tsumugi: What!? Did I say something weird…!?

Natsume: Yeah, you dID. You’re way too optimistIC.

The reasons for the creation of “ALKALOID” are distortED. You never know when that distortion will ariSE.

During the “Bon Festival” and “MDM”, they had a common goal of collecting L$ otherwise their unit would be disbandED. But after that, I don’t think they’ve set up a new goAL.

One of the reasons they participated in the last “SS” was to make “SS” more exciting on behalf of ES, rigHT?

But winning “SS” isn’t the only way for idols to liVE. This “Phantom Airship” will be the tool to confirm thAT.

Especially since “Phantom-kun[⁎]” isn’t the type to display his excellent strength or abilitiES. I can see he doesn’t want to stand at the very top of idoLS.

Tsumugi: Now that you mention it… He appeared to be anxious when we entered the secret room inside the ventilation room.

I think he mumbled something along the lines of helping Anzu-san or something… If I’m certain, that must be an audition for the “shuffle units”.

Our agency said Ritsu-kun would audition for it, but it wouldn’t be strange for Ayase-kun to refuse, would it?

Natsume: YeAH. I don’t think declining a personal request would be an issUE. But prioritising one’s own happiness over the unit’s goals is definitely possibLE.

If they can confront their own idol views before things get complicatED, then they should be able to sort it out before someone gets huRT.

Freshwater fish cannot survive in saltwatER. I think they should confirm with each other first before they swim towards the vast oceAN.

It’s been half a year since their unit was creatED. The time has come for “ALKALOID” to think about their futuRE. That’s the reason why I invited them to this “Phantom AirshIP”...

I wonder what sort of answer they’ll come up wiTH?

Grand Slam - The Blood-Vomiting Beast: Chapter 8

Location: Yumenosaki Grounds (Sports Festival) Characters: Ritsu, Sora & Natsume

Natsume: Well, in any caSE, let’s not get ahead of ourselves and continue to steadily maintain our victoriES. It’s still the first dAY, there’s no need to push ourselves too much to pull ahead of the otheRS.

It’s not just thAT. If we’re winning by a landslide, the viewers might not be curious about what happens in the end and they might stop watchiNG.

As an idol performing in this “show” called the “Old-Fashioned Sports Festival”, we’ve got to leave a sense of thriLL.

Ritsu: Amazing. You’re an exemplary idol. …I can’t help but wonder if you were always such a good boy, though.

Natsume: What do you know about mE?

Well, we’re both fellow brothers of the saME “Nii-san”, so I think that’s something we share in common, though…♪

Ritsu: Huh? What’re you talking about? None of your “big brothers” have anything to do with me, though?

Natsume: (Phew… It seems the magic has somehow workED, I suppose I’ve dodged most of the follow-up statemenTS. If I bring up a topic he dislikES, he’ll distance himself all on his oWN.)

(BuT. As expected of the younger brother of Rei Nii-san, the leader of tHE “Five Oddballs”.)

(The brains behind the veteran unit “Knights”... I don’t know if he’s doing it on purpose or by instinCT, but he just smoothly touches upon the dangerous topiCS.)

(As eloquent as I am competeNT, I shall manipulate the strongest here – “Knights” – and fulfil my goal.)

(In order for that to happEN, I can’t have them become wary of mE, so I cannot act any differently than I normally dO.)

Sora: Master~...? What’s wrong? You’ve got a scary look on your face~

Natsume: It’s nothiNG, Sora.

Our current situation is, well, not that bAD. I’m glad I told Mophead to put your name forward during the "Summit” when they were deciding on the leaders yesterdAY.

You prioritise harmony and happiness over victoRY. As long as you’re holding up a brocade flAG, even the attitudes of the other teams towards us will softEN.

There aren’t that many humans who will kick a small, affectionate and soothing animal with all their migHT. Although, I can immediately name a few who would do such a thiNG.

If the leader was me or someone from “Knights”, we would’ve unintentionally won so many evenTS, the people around us would probably come to hate uS.

Sora: Yes! It looks like Tsuka-chan loves fighting and winning, after all~♪

Natsume: YeAH. But since the “Old-Fashioned Sports Festival” is a re-enactment of an ancient ceremoNY, negative feelings and danger go hand in haND.

Sora: Yes. It’s a ceremony to cleanse the “bad thing”, but if ill feelings and hatred are gathered in one place, then that would be upside-down thinking instead~

Sora knows it might be too late for this, but we can’t explain that to the others? We can’t work together, make it a fun event and drive away the “bad thing”~?

Natsume: AhaHA. “Something” stained with evil that drives the humans of this land crazy is swirling togethER.

In order for us to cleanse thAT, we need everyone’s happiness and positive feelings, don’t wE?

Those who assert that with a straight face and, in turn, questioned whether they’re sane or not is what we call modern socieTY.

Magicians, aliens and people with ESP don’t exist in this worLD. Those sorts of occult things are simply a fantasy that should be told as a joke to pass tiME.

Sora: HeHe~♪ Master~ You’re saying things that would make people come to their senses like it’s a catchphrase of yours~

But, in reality, Master~ wants to believe in “those” actual things the most, correct?

Natsume: …You see right through mE, Sora.

YeAH. I truly believe it would be nice if “that” exists in this worLD. Something supernatural that we humans cannot fully comprehend nor contrOL…

I think it would be great if “that” could be an ally to humaniTY– No, I wish they were my alLY. With that, life would be much more comfortable and simpLE.

That is the mentality we’ve bore in our hearts since the very beginning of tiME, one where we seek god’s salvatiON – a religious beliEF.

Sora: Hmm~? Master’s speeches are very educational as usual!

Natsume: Fufu. It’s because you’re here listening very intently that it makes it all the more worthwhile to sAY.

(But even so, there are things I cannot tell hIM.)

(If there were some sort of wisdom that would befall humanity, it’s a magician's job to monopolise that and use it for our own gaiNS.)

(Therefore, those existences are the enemy of religious belieFS; in other words, they were hunted down because they were the enemy of all humaniTY. That is the grim history of humaniTY.)

(I cannot make my precious Sora “humanity’s enemy” so, in the end, I must be the one to eradicate thAT “bad thing”.)

(As for whether or not I’ll be able to obtain the power to destroy it or something that will be usefUL, I’ll have to ascertain its quality firST. The “Old-Fashioned Sports Festival” will be the perfect and worthwhile testing ground for thAT.)

Sora: (On second thought, does Master~ actually like the occult? But he must~ Otherwise, he wouldn’t call himself a magician!)

(I’m glad! Sora likes it too! Sora is happy knowing Master~ likes the things Sora likes!)

(That’s why! Sora wants to show Master~ the thing he wants the most!)

(It looks like Sora is the only one who can see it right now, so Sora has to think of a way to allow everyone else to see “it” too~)

(To do that–)

(Hyaa! Hmm!?)

Natsume: ? Sora, what’s wroNG? Was there a moppy piece of Mop-Glasses in the lunch box we got from the agenCY?

Sora: That sounds like a blessing if that was the case~♪ But it’s not that. Sora just got a message on “Hallhands”.

Natsume: A messaGE?

Sora: Yes! It’s a message about the next event? But there’s something fun scheduled to be happening soon during the lunch break?

Natsume: Something fuN…?

Sora: Umm? The thing that they often have at sports festivals. A cheering contest~♪

Fist of the Shangri-la Idol - Action Star: Chapter 7

Location: “Fist of the Shangri-la Idol” Movie Set Characters: Touri, Hokuto & Yuzuru Season: Summer

Hokuto: Hmph. I can’t forgive what “fine” did in the past, but Tenshouin-senpai or ES must succeed otherwise it’ll be trouble for us.

He trampled on so many people and built that gigantic building after sacrificing all those people.

I want him to be a strong winner and for him to reach a happy future that’s proportionate to his sacrifices.

Otherwise, it would be far too miserable for the people he trampled and crushed.

And I was able to agree with StarPro’s principle of creating idols out of nobodies.

Yuzuru: Right. Ideals are called ideals because they’re difficult to create in reality.

But I can guarantee you as someone who is from the same unit as Eichi-sama that he is not lying in that aspect. 

No. In order for those words – for that dream to not be a lie – I too shall do my utmost best.

…However, I am in quite a pathetic predicament at the moment that is unfitting of those words.

Hokuto: ? It takes some time for Yuuki to get his engine warmed up, so you must’ve had quite a hard time with that. I think you did great despite it.

Your movements were great today – to the point that I wouldn’t say you’re someone unfamiliar with this sort of work.

You were able to say your long lines perfectly and the difficult movements were very appealing.

Yuzuru: Appealing, you say? It didn’t feel bloodthirsty at all?

Hokuto: Tenshouin-senpai also said that, but he didn’t mean it in a bad way.

Yuuki gets scared because of how intense you are, so you should tone it down a notch… That’s my only suggestion.

Sticking out like a sore thumb in movies or plays isn’t a good thing, after all.

I don’t know much about movies, but that sort of thing isn’t exactly welcome when it comes to stage plays.

Yuzuru: …………

Hokuto: Also, this is just my own personal opinion, but I think you’re cut out for acting.

Yuzuru: Right… I’m not entirely convinced.

Hokuto: It’s hard for the individuals themselves to be able to tell when it comes to stuff like this. The thing furthest from oneself in the world is your back.

Before I was subject to Hibiki-senpai’s strict teachings in the Drama Club at Yumenosaki, I believed my acting was at its peak and couldn’t be any better.

Reality was very different but I was under the wrong impression.

I have the blood of my mother who was a successful actress, but ever since that day, I’m constantly being reminded of the fact that I haven’t made any use of that.

But of course, I can’t just give up because of that.

I’ll definitely become an actor that will surpass my mother and Hibiki-senpai. That’s what I’ve decided – It’s one of my dreams that I cannot give up on no matter what.

That’s why I’ll also do my best for “Fist of the Shangri-la idol”. The role given to me is an underdog that’s supposed to make the protagonist look good – It’s just a supporting role…

But even so, I’ll do my utmost best, so that everyone will be glad I was chosen for the role.

Hehe. You have a higher reputation than me in the movie, but I’m more experienced when it comes to acting.

Come talk to me if there’s a part you’re unsure about. I’ll do what I can to help you out.

Yuzuru: I will. Hehe, you’re quite positive, Hidaka-sama.

Or perhaps I should say you’re rather tough like a gemstone.

Hokuto: I’m just used to being compared to my father and mother. That’s all, really.

Being compared unfavourably with someone who’s the “real deal” at this point in time doesn’t mean I should always stay disheartened.

I’ll slowly move forward one step at a time, even if I don’t do a very good job. I believe it’ll be possible for me to reach the stars in the night sky someday if I do that.

Yuzuru: Amazing.

Hokuto: …….!? What the–? Are you actually the Masked Pervert in disguise…!?

Yuzuru: My apologies. Hehe, you can end up copying someone’s manner of speaking the longer you spend time with them. I’m the real Yuzuru Fushimi, by the way, so please, rest assured.

Hokuto: O–Ohh… But sometimes, Hibiki-senpai transforms into other people to trick me – you should be careful too.

Yuzuru: I will. Surprisingly, he tends to interact with me in an earnest manner with none of those tricks…

Perhaps it’s because my reactions are quite boring?

Hokuto: Hmm. I think it’s interesting to chat with you. How do I put it? It’s like I can organise all my emotions and it’s calming when I’m with you.

My emotions were a mess earlier, but I’ve strangely calmed down now.

Thank you – it might be a bit strange to say that, though.

Yuzuru: No no, if I was able to be of help, then I’m very glad ♪

Hokuto: Hehe. This feels quite strange. We had a one-on-one battle as sworn enemies during the first “DDD” last year.

But right now, we’re smiling and having a lighthearted chat.

Yuzuru: Indeed, we are. I’ve never had an ounce of resentment for you all from the very beginning.

I simply battled you fair and square as according to the rules – There were no hard feelings at all. 

I pray we can continue this pleasant relationship in the future as well.

Hokuto: Yeah… It’s not easy for me to have a change of heart that quickly, but I’ll do my best.

Of course, if you all are walking on the wrong path, then I’ll rebel against you all with everything that I have.

Yuzuru: Please do as you wish. Otherwise, it won’t be enjoyable for us, either…♪

Touri: What the–!? Who’re you? I’m scaredddd…!

Yuzuru: ————

Hokuto: ……!? Was that Himemiya’s voice? What happened?

Yuzuru: YOUNG MASTEEER…!

Hokuto: (Woah, Fushimi ran off at full speed!)

(I had this thought earlier today, but even though he usually acts in a nonchalant manner about everything, he actually has physical abilities unfitting of an average human!)

(He must have been selected for the role of the “rival”  for that reason because the role requires some flashy action.)

(If that was one of the conditions, then I don’t understand why Yuuki was chosen to be the “protagonist” as exercise isn’t his forte…)

(No, this isn’t the time to be thinking of those things!)

(I can hear Yuuki screaming! If he’s in trouble, then I’ll put my life on the line to save him…!)

Hiyori Tomoe - Idol Story 1

Writer: Akira

Season: Spring

Characters: Hiyori

Proofreading: royalquintet (JP & ENG)

Translation: hyenahunt

Hiyori: ...But you know, it's hard work to keep shining at the world's summit — even for someone like me. You’ll find countless worries every which way you look. What foul weather!

[Location: Saison Avenue]

Hiyori: ~.... ♪

Hm? Well, what's this, if it isn't Anzu-chan! Fancy meeting you in a place like this ♪

Ahaha, you look pretty surprised too, don't you! To see someone like me, Hiyori Tomoe, a noble son of a great financial power, shopping in a place seemingly meant for commoners — is it really so strange?

Hehe. Though it may not be the case these days, our Tomoe Foundation had been on the decline for a good while, so.....

I'm more familiar than you'd expect with the commoner way of life. Shopping in a lively place like this is more fun, anyway! ♪

Look, look! I'm sure to turn heads wherever I go, so in such a crowd it's bound to cause a commotion!

See, people have been gazing pretty intently at us for some time, haven't they~♪

It's a nice feeling to have caught their attention, so I suppose I'll give them some fanservice in return... Here's a smile for you! ♪

Yes, submit yourself to the good fortune of meeting me!

How wonderful! Those kids can go brag about me to their classmates and get so popular! What superbly fine weather... ☆

Now then, I'll get back to picking out some tableware before returning to work and... oh, I completely forgot about Anzu-chan!

You know, when you're that silent you'll just disappear into the crowd!

On that note, whatever are you doing here on a weekday afternoon? What about school?

Though, when I was still in school I did get bored of class and skipped out too, so I suppose I'm not one to talk, am I?

Of course, if you don't want trivial things to trip you up, you do have to watch out!

It may not end up being a huge issue even if something were to happen, but one must keep up appearances all the same, hm?

When a girl like you wanders out during the day, who knows, the police might even have a word with you about delinquency!

But never mind that. Let's move on from such boring topics, shall we! More importantly, now that I've run into you, Anzu-chan, I've suddenly recalled something I must talk to you about!

Hey, so tell me, Anzu-chan! Do you happen to have any sway in CosPro?

Hmm? Compared to the other agencies, you don't have as strong a relationship with ours?

Sometimes you work with Valkyrie and 2wink since they're from Yumenosaki too, but they're not letting you touch Eden at all?

Hmm, that's exactly what I've heard from Ibara, you know!

The higher-ups of CosPro have done some ridiculous rearrangements, and now it does feel rather like those of us from Eden are being kept away from you, doesn't it?

What a shame it is for you too! Eden stands at the top of the modern idol industry, and yet you've been barred from producing for us!

If you're not in first place, nor can you reach the top with your own hands, then you might as well be at the very bottom of the ladder!

Huh, since when was Eden at the top, you ask?

Aha, are you trying to say your beloved Trickstar would come out on top of us?

If that's what you want to think, then by all means believe it as much as you want, yes! You can't change reality — and besides, in my mind I'm the best in the whole wide world!

Of course, the same goes for my units Eden and Eve ♪

...But you know, it's hard work to keep shining at the world's summit — even for someone like me. You’ll find countless worries every which way you look. What foul weather!

In particular, there's a certain bigwig among CosPro's higher-ups who hasn't stepped down, even after last year's unprecedented scandal. It's been quite the thorn in our side...

For ages they've just kept their distance from our situation and don't have a clue what's been going on, and yet here they are raining down preposterous orders from above!

Especially recently! It's really driving me up the wall, you know!

Really! Going and proposing something like temporarily splitting up Eve and Adam, and pitting us against each other just to stir up some excitement!

Ahh, what absolute nonsense! Idol activities are nothing like pro wrestling at all, and yet they want to heat things up by throwing together a whole conflict scenario for us....

I mean, what if it upsets our fans?

I hate the idea of arguing with Adam's Nagisa-kun, and for that matter, Ibara, too. After all, families should always get along, don't you think?

....Even so, Ibara mused that depending on how it's done it may very well spice things up, and excitedly began to run some trial calculations.

As for Nagisa-kun, he didn't say a thing.

Somehow, it feels as though I'm not quite seeing eye-to-eye with the others.....

And that's a first in Eden, so I've been feeling a little uneasy, you see.

Nagisa-kun's been growing more human-like by the day, and now that Ibara's become CosPro's vice-president, he's increasingly bound to his title and position....

Though as for Jun-kun, I'm positively certain he'll always share my views.

He's totally helpless, after all. He has a long way to go, so for now he's still a fledgling who needs my protection... ♪

But anyway. To begin with, CosPro has such a powerful administration that even if its own idols don't really like the way things are going, we'd be hard-pressed to go against it.

In fact, people like Tatsumi-kun — those who'd lost their place trying to oppose upper management... there are many like them, you know.

And that's exactly why I do have my eyes on you, Anzu-chan.

Someone like you, who has such a unique position, who can cross the agency borders and wander from role to role —

Perhaps the day will come that I'll ask to borrow a bit of that exceptional ability.

As a lead-up to that merry future, won't you come shopping with me, if you so fancy?

Let's spend some time together and get nice and friendly, Anzu-chan ♪

Right! Since I've moved into a new dorm I need to buy a new set of livingware all over again, but I really haven't been able to find anything nice yet, you see~?

Do let me know if you happen to have any shops you'd recommend!

I'll listen to all that you have to say! That being said, however, the only one who'll decide what I get in the end is, of course, myself! And that's what I call fine weather....☆

Reasons Why You Love The Unit/Character/Series/Pairings: ……….#technologywhy #whatareyoudoingshun #yeskaii’llmakeitneatunderstood~ #kaitakingchargeiscoolyouknow? 

  Unit

Procellarum: I love Procella because Procella is fun and free~I think Kakeru or Koi said it in the episode where they record them sleeping. ‘Procella is so free’ They’re all also very individualistic and their leader isn’t even a leader type (*looks at You*) and it makes them more unique. Procella caught my attention first when I watched the anime and I grew to love them more in the Drama CDs especially Kai’s sarcasm ‘yes yes moving on’ I adore Kai’s sarcasm no regrets w

  Character

Shimotsuki Shun (Tsukiuta, Procellarum): Tsukiuta’s Shimotsuki Shun is perfect! He’s like my idol! I love him because he’s so cool, cute, gentle, whimsical, free, kind, mischievous, playful, and everything! He doesn’t let himself be restricted and just does whatever he wants which is really fun. Ah yes he’s also full of surprises! And he has all these amazing abilities like magic and super memory (word for word!), can speak several languages, etc yet he’s not annoyingly egotistic and he definitely doesn’t put himself above others and Hajime. I actually didn’t like him at all at first ww w in the anime because he seemed like the cool prince charming type or ‘mysterious type’ and egotistic type and seemed to know everything until he like revealed his Hajime-LOVE then I went to the Drama CDs and discovered his original character and loved him! Ok I’m sure it was longer than this…oh yeah he’s dedicated to his love for Hajime and is so sweet and like what’s there not to love?! There was a time when I was discovering more about him and just thinking of him and imagining that playful smile could make me smile~even after a bad day. He was my inspiration? Hehe. I’m really grateful for Tsukiuta’s Shimotsuki Shun’s existence.

 Mutsuki Hajime (Tsukiuta, Six Gravity): Mutsuki Hajime…he’s like a favorite character but not like a favorite character? He’s a favorite character because he’s interesting and cool but not a favorite character as in ‘I love him so much’. I like Hajime, he’s interesting and I’m intrigued by him. But I’m puzzled by him because I don’t really understand him. Well his casualness and coolness is attractive I suppose? It’s charming. And his gentle side is so -! When he goes soft it’s so -!! Gap moe, I think? Like his expression is either cool or blank or ‘what did you just say’ or ‘I don’t really care’ or ‘you just pissed me off’ ‘let’s do this’. It’s always very straightforward and blunt like his words. So when he smiles softly and is gentle soihiosathe my heart - the gap moe is -! But unfortunately it’s hard to bring out…but he seems to have become softer in Tsukipro so -!! But I’m still mostly puzzled by him. I enjoy writing and reading about him though~ So yes I like Hajime (mostly because Shun loved him and so I got interested in him), he’s interesting but can you stop being tsundere and treat Shun better thank you Black King (Don’t worry Hajime, I actually grew to like Hajime more because of you~)

 Fuduki Kai (Tsukiuta, Procellarum): Opposites attract yes? I’m lazy and dislike being bored even though I get bored easily maybe exactly because I get bored easily and Kai is so energetic and passionate about everything he’s so fun~Also I have like zero physical stamina zero nada none and Kai is athletic to the point of climbing mountains and being attacked by a pirate ship wwwww Kai why. And actually rather than the cool type like Hajime I have a soft heaaaart for the gentle type and Kai takes care of others so well and his ‘rely on me’! is so cute and charming and he was really gentle when he spoke about his first love like Kaiiiii~ And he has multiple facets to his personality – the energy, denseness, sadness, the taking care of others, the rely on me, the gentle and kind, the sarcasm (I love Kai’s sarcasm it’s important so I have to say it twice). And of course the Beast Master. The wild side~ahhh I wanna see it!! Ahaha. Anyway~the contradicting sides Kai has, like being gentle and kind but sarcastic, being dense but good at taking care of others, being reliable but hiding the dark side of the Beast Master – makes him a really interesting and intriguing character. (Also his dynamic with Shun is so funny and hilarious lololol)

Haduki You (Tsukiuta, Procellarum): Lololol You, I love this guy cause he’s so funny and hilarious and he amuses and entertains me wwwwwww with his honesty and directness and eternal tsukkomi and of course his tsundereness~he’s so cute just like my You~and he makes me laugh which is always a plus~

Kisaragi Koi (Tsukiuta, Six Gravity): I don’t know? He’s just one of my favorites because he’s so cute and adorable then he’s so serious speaking in a low voice then he panics cutely for no reason and calls Kakeru to be reassured he isn’t ordinary or normal or average all the while forgetting he’s an idol wwww Koi is adorableeee. Then he’s cool and manly in the Origin art w. He’s so cute and funny~

Fujimura Mamoru (Growth): I don’t knowwwwwww but he’s so cute and adorable and his hair looks so fluffy! His eyes are warm and his smile is gentle and his gaze and demeanor is so sincere. He was working as a salaryman before and then he’s composing and producing music so coooool ‘Possessing a god-like talent in contrast to his destructive living ability, makes him a very lovable NEET!" - Yes I totally agree with this line from the wiki! His personality is…fluffy? I don’t know, he’s just adorable~~ and sooooooo cuteeeeeee

Ohara Sora (SOARA): More or less the same reason as Kai I guess? He’s energetic and lively and I’m lazy ww well I liked that he has insecurities though, like when he got discouraged by the mean things people said, it just endeared him more to me. Not really favorite favorite but I like his energy

Series

Tsukiuta: I don’t know much about the other series still except for what I know from Tsukipro but Tsukiuta holds a special place in my heart. It started as a random anime I somehow clicked on and grew to teach me and help me and just became something really meaningful. It feels like Fate. Besides finding Shun who is uncannily similar to me and whom I relate to so much and love, I love the individuality of everyone in Tsukiuta, especially that of Procella. Everyone is just like cute and charming and cool in their own way and they’re all such dorks www they make me smile and laugh and I never get bored. Of course now I find people in real life who are like the Tsukiuta characters especially in personality and it makes me love Tsukiuta and the characters even more. *smiles* Again, it’s strange...but it feels like Fate. Like an alternate universe? I’m looking forward to January when Six Gravity will be formed. Things will get more and more fun~

Pairings

Ehhhh it’s long enough already but okaaaaaay

HajiShun: Because Shimotsuki Shun loves Mutsuki Hajime~eh ok. But really? It started that way? He loved Hajime so much and showed so much love and was so happy with Hajime! Ah also because it was the thing that detracted from his anime cool prince charming personality and he got excited and lost his composure over his Hajime-LOVE and it was refreshing. Then I wrote fics and read fics and listened to the songs and did theories and…que sera sera? They are just so cute together especially when Hajime returns Shun’s affection in those fics and they complement each other being similar but very different at the same time. And the reason still remains the same? I love Shimotsuki Shun from Tsukiuta and I want him to be happy and Mutsuki Hajime makes him happy so I ship HajiShun. (So Hajime return the love tyvm)

KaiShun: I usually ship only one pairing with one character (like main, OTP ship) but KaiShun is an exception because Mutsuki Hajime is a dense idiot hmph. And I like Kai a lot, I love his character and his interactions with Shun they’re so cute together w the spoiled young master and the reliable independent guy who wants to take care of others, yet they can have touching moments like in the Kimi ni Hana Drama CD which is one of my favorites. They just make a good pair and have an interesting dynamic? Probably because they’re so different. (And yeah cause Hajime is still dense so I ship)

HaruShun: A bit of a crack ship w but like since Hajime brushes Shun off and Kai is like dense too then can we have the attentive, Holy Mother Haru with the attention-needing Demon Lord Shun? Wwwwww they’re just cute together okay and they seem to communicate on a similar wavelength? Like talking about things in a roundabout manner. It’s cute. They also go shopping together which is super cuteee

(Yes like Kai I ship like EveryonexShun because Shun is cute and perfect and deserves to be loved, especially if Hajime won’t return his love. This does not~ apply to this real life Shun by the way I am not~ cute even if Hajime himself says so - I went down a different path and I’m more of a Demon Lord and it’s more like ShunxEveryone yes~? Fufufu…)

And yes! Yay! I finished! Again, but whatever! I managed to finish before new year and this time it won’t be gone because I learnt my lesson and typed all this in a word document! Hah! You can’t beat me, technology! I won’t be taken down so easily!

Ah now that I did mine, Rui remember to do yours too~
