Ai Mikaze Song Rant

!!🧹CLEANING OUT DRAFTS WRITTEN IN LIKE 2021. Posted as is last written🧹!!

that may or may not be an essay but since its structure is completely off, I opted to call it a rant.

Also Ai looks mighty fine in that outfit. Ver. A has him sticking his tongue out. So cute!!

Note: this is a long overdue post that was made prior to the release of the album, I have not changed anything within this because dammit my past self worked her ass off on this and just left it on the backburner for so long.

Before the next batch of Quartet Night Solo Songs get released this year (oh my god its been 3-4 years since the last ones) I wanted to write down the charm of Ai's songs and I hope the trend somewhat continues.

There are a total of 6 songs released since 2012 and each song also has it's own take on love.

There are a total of 6 songs released since 2012 and each song also has it's own take on love.

Winter Blossom: Parting of a loved one

A.I: Being and feeling loved

Futari no Monogram: Understanding oneself

Innocent Wind: The Warmth of Love

Mune no Kodou: Understanding Love

Synchronism: Playful, and a smidge bit sensual. Looks like the love arc is complete if you catch my drift

And now let's look at the song list:

03: Synchronism

May 24, 2017

Now why does the second part matter? Well to me, if you put them together. Arrange by release date and track number, it almost sounds like a story on its own.

A person who has lost a loved one and forgot what the feeling felt like (Winter Blossom) until they discovered someone who could possibly mend their broken heart and understand the concept of "Ai" (A. I).

After finding this someone, they want to better themselves, become more reliable, someone who could be deserving of that love (Futari no Monogram). That love is returned to them and it feels a bit too much, but they're grateful that this person continues to stay by their side, despite being "broken" (Innocent Wind).

Like any relationship though, it was not just meant to be a sunshine filled story, they got into fights and arguements but that never deterred them from loving each other. Even during the moments they felt down or when he was scared of the passage of time, still uncertain about love, they still stuck with each other through thick and thin. And to understand these overflowing emotions, he wrote it into a song, a ballad, that sung the wishes of normal lovers and how with them, he can understand love. That he too, has that "something" on his chest (Mune no Kodou).

This emotional beat is followed by a happy and relaxing, definitely no underlying desires song about love (Synchronism).

being vague about the last one since I'll explain in each solo segment.

I think you guys get what I mean about the songs tying together to form a story by now right? Which is amazing to me, even if they most likely didn't do it on purpose, it gives a new meaning to listening to Ai's songs. Which make it even more fun to listen to.

So now onto each song and it's significance.

Winter Blossom

The first song by Ai is still as sad and beautiful as the first time I read the english translation~ I cried. This is a very straightforward song. They shared their last moments in winter.

To hide our kiss, we draw closer together to share warmth

and he wishes to God that he could feel the same emotions as her. She's about to go and he knows this, and he doesn't want to forget so he tries to stop his tears. He wants to remember this. Timeskip and he's all alone now with these memories. He doesn't think it's bad, no matter how sad it was, and yet he could only think about what else he could've done. He feels like he understands now, and he tells the words "I love you" even if she wasn't there, and his voice is only heard by the wind. He remembers the moment one last time, and makes a promise.

It's a tragedy that he only figured out what love is after she died. The song really moves me to tears. The hopeful message at the end is really nice and gives the listener a sense of encouragement.

A. I

Just lovers out on a vacation by the seaside. It starts off with him asking

“At what percentage does it become ‘love’?”

The night grows nearer, as you two get closer, and yet all he can feel is uncertainty. Unsure whether his feelings would reach or if he could ever truly express what he feels. Insecure about his own name, one he even called poor, you show him that there is a meaning to "AI". This fills him with happiness and he sees you as someone he can turn to, his warmth. He gives you a kiss. For now, in this moment, you will enjoy the time spent together, even if in the future you may fight. For now, even if he can't express to you all his feelings, the one word you taught him is enough. I love you.

I've always loved the play on words for A.I (artificial intelligence), Ai (love), and Ai (name) used for the song. See I don't understand Japanese writing much but I really wish I did. From what little I know it's amazing to see that Ai uses katakana アイ throughout the song. Katakana is used for loan words or when you want to emphasize something. So him using アイ instead of 愛 emphasizes that he REALLY doesn't understand "Ai". If you look through the wiki, there are like, 5 instances of the katakana being used. First is in the line highlighted above. Another is in "I want to confirm it, this thing you call ‘love’/tashikametai yo kimi no iu 'ai'" and the most important one. The last line of the song.

I ‘love’ you… I love you

AI shiteru... aishiteru

アイしてる…[[愛]]し���る

He actually learns what it means you guys. I'm proud of him. Another line that really got me in this song is when he keeps peppering you kisses because he was anxious. Baby, no, I won't leave you. I swear! Even if it takes time for you to understand, I won't let go!

Futari no Monogram

Innocent Wind

Mune no Kodou

Synchronism

Actually, while I was writing this down, I realized that most of his songs have an emphasis on warmth and the sun.

Winter Blossom

To hide our kiss, we draw closer together to share warmth

These memories aren’t bad, they transform into warmth

A. I

Your hand held in mine is so warm

Your warmth, this tender sunny spot is my gentle place to return to

Innocent Wind

By the tenderness of your warmth

This warmth is beyond even words…

Also the word embrace

(Winter Blossom, Futari no Monogram, Innocent Wind)

and hand holding

he's cold you guys

.

Rant over!

Waaaaa I'm not sure I even did him justice since half the time I couldn't word out what I want to say but hopefully it made some sort of sense???? I just really love him and his songs that I just kinda word vomitted everything.

Also was it super obvious that I adore Mune no Kodou to bits?! I could talk about how that's my favorite song all day because FUCK it's just THAT good.

Where you got the speech box of shining live that you used on your Tokiya's post?

👉👈

I made it myself, I redraw it from the game screenshots.

I made 3 different types.

Feel free to use it!

[beananium]

hey are you ready for a coherent list of all the fictional men i called my husbands for an extended period of time

[archenemyintellegence]

Shining Funeral.

Thank you for those who joined me in watching me performing random actions in Shining Live in its final moments. Your presence made the event less depressed. 💀

I thought I would just play the songs or watch some stories for one last time during the final hour. But I found that I've got some event medals left and were able to get some bangles for ur tickets and some Reiji SRs I haven't acquired. That was a pleasant surprise because it was kinda surreal doing the 100% UR gacha with all those tickets. Time went by so fast when there's so little time left for the game. An hour past like a few minutes, but I was still able to watch one last new story from a new Reiji SR I've got from the bangles. And it happened to be the Christmas story... I guess that's the perfect end for my time with the game.

I've never expected that I actually had fun in the final moments in the game, since I had a lot of bad things to say about how shitty klab handled the closing of the game, like how they refused to merge the server even when people are spamming them emails. Another thing that I didn't expect is THAT THEY CLOSE THE SERVER AT THE EXACT SECOND THE CLOCK HITS 1400 JPT LIKE WHY DO U HAVE NO MERCY FOR US. With your shitty attitude I thought the whole international server team is sleeping since the announcement of server close and now you're proving to us that you guys can actually be efficient in handling things, in the worst way possible 😭

Memories with Shining Live

I've forgot the exact date I started playing the game, and it's impossible to find it out since the account was pre-owned by my sister (and yes the birthday is set to hers so every year Reiji congratulated her birthday lmao). However what I know is that I started playing during the period of White Day Reiji gacha. He is so gorgeous in every way and I was so glad that I was able to get his card before the gacha ended (actually I kinda whaled but yeah I'm happy because sometimes you can whale and get nothing).

I was even happier when I learned about his story. His story told me that I can do good things with my talents as long as I have good intentions. I thought all my talent can bring to people is hate and envy, but he helped me to start believing myself, to start drawing. Being with him in the game, learning more about him, and making memories with him in the game heals me, and adds something in my empty soul.

Shortly after joining the game, there was a Reiji SR event, the Rainy Ren event. It was a shame that I barely missed Tier 1 as my cards were awful back then and people were crazy on that event. But I was still happy that I maxed my Reiji SR. It was also a painful lesson that taught me to aim higher next time so I can guarantee the tier I wanted.

Fortunately, after the failed attempt in tiering, I got a chance to try again in the SSL Reiji event, and he was also with Natsuki in that event, who was my second boy back then. The set list is perfect as I love every songs there, but the difficulty of the set list was extremely challenging for me as I could barely finish a pro song at that time. I remember my struggle to even complete the last song Kisu wa Winku De (EXTRA). But I endured it all for Reiji, and managed to T1 it. I've got my first Rainbow Crowned Reiji UR card and I still remember the joy of accomplishment. Also the card is one of my favourite Reiji cards. Who can hate this cute boy wearing his favourite outfit and begging for a hug while laying on a cloud with rainbows 💚😭☁️🌈

And then I crowned another Reiji UR on his bday. It's crazy that I saved whaled 12k prisms for his bday gacha. It is just wild doing gacha for an hour non stop. He is still my favourite bday UR! Maybe there will be another new bday UR to top him next year but I can't get him anymore so it's safe to say he's the best bday UR. It's a shame that I will be 1 copy short of rainbow crowning my 2nd Reiji Cruise UR because my luck on the bday gacha for the rest of my gaming life suck ass.

Then is the Reiji SR for Otoya SSL event. I absolutely love this SR because he looks funny af. I made numerous memes of him 💀One of the edits is the legendary Hamji lmao

The 2nd Reiji UR event I tiered is the Treasure Hunter Reiji. Imo the card is kinda meh but NEVER... was in the list. Also it was the first time I participated in a nametrain. I believed I was Rank 6 in the picture lmao

The next event is FAR FROM MEH. IT IS MY FAVOURITE EVENT OF ALL TIME. IT IS MINEBUKI. It is the peak form of event. The song list is perfect with two of my favourite songs, Kisu wa Winku De and BLACK DEJAVU IN IT. The difficulty of BLACK DEJAVU is absolutely horrible but I managed to Ultimate Combo it and play it for hundreds of times💀I love this song so fucking much that stop playing the songs was actually the hardest part of the event, as I was trying to park my score. The Minebuki event was the first time I tried to score park and I was so happy that I parked it successfully. It required some calculations and focus to do it, which I was horrible at, but the joy of score parking was so great that I tried to do it everytime I tier for Reiji events. Besides of the event, the story of Minebuki is epic too. His bravery to emit that he has made an imperfect decision which brought harm to the people, and to try fixing the problem no matter the cost is beautiful. He may not be a perfect character but the way he burns is so beautiful, that I can't find another story in game to top it.

4152020 = the release date of BLACK DEJAVU

I even parked my play count for BLACK DEJAVU at 415 that time lol

After a looooooong wait with some Reiji SR events, he finally got another UR event, Flower Reiji. It is the longest event gap in the history to this date and the ultra short gap between his previous 2 events (2nd shortest event gap in game) only made the wait more painful lmao. Too bad that I don't like that event. The only thing that makes the event bearable for me is that Timepiece is in the list and also it's a Reiji event💀

306 = waited 306 days for a Reiji event

1202 = start of Minebuki event hahahaha

After the meh event, finally there is a HOT REIJI EVENT. I remember the reaction when I saw the event. HE IS VERY HOT. Actually the rest of the event is very average. The story is meh and the none of the songs in the list is my fav. The stats and skills are kinda trash too. But the list is interesting tho, especially for the beatmap for HURRAYx2 DREAMERS. It's like I'm dancing with Reiji while playing the song and it's the best part of the event. BUT ANYWAY HE IS VERY HOT. THAT'S IT HE IS H O T.

301 = some numbers about dart lmao

The last event I tiered in this game is Null Reiji event. He definitely won't top Minebuki but the memory I made in this event is probably the best one. It's the first (and maybe the last) Reiji event that I edited the name train for the name train group. I tried working as the main editor for them before but this one is the event of my best boy. Also THE THEME WORKS PERFECTLY WITH MY AESTHETIC. It's fucking wild to spend 40+hrs on the edits while tiering the event with 6.9M score at the same time but I enjoy every moment of it. It's the first time I parked my score for town event and there's little information on it. I almost failed it which gave me a mini heart attack but I managed to save it with good maths 😃👍🏻

699 = no. of notes for Alright, All Night (PRO)

6969 = funny number for silly Null

Conclusion

The existence of the game has changed my life. I've never thought I can truly enjoy something, and accomplish anything in my life, but this game proved me wrong. I am a horrible gamer but in this game I was able to achieve some cool stuff by score parking and creating cool stuff for the community and whaling 💀 With this game, my life is no longer blank, and I am the one who fill it with beautiful memories. I've spent so much money in the game that I literally don't know how much I've spent, but I guess it'll treat it as the cost for a therapy lmao. I think that I am strong enough to live without the game, as Reiji reminded me of the power I possess that will stay with me forever. Also Reiji is still with me! Actually idec about what they gonna do with him because I can create some Reiji content myself if I really want to.

After the closing of the game, I won't continue playing on Japan server as the experience will never be the same. I can't read Japanese so I won't be able to understand the stories in game or communicate with other gamers. It's pointless to just play for the sake of playing so I believe this is the end of my journey with Shining Live and the beginning of money saving thank god.

Here is my player info. A proof that I existed in this wonderful game. Minebuki as my pfp as he is my favourite. White Day Reiji badge as he is the one who welcomed me to the game. Cruise Reiji for yellow as he is my favourite bday card. White Day Reiji for Red. Null Reiji as Blue as I enjoyed so much in his event.

There are so many cards that I love but there are so little space in the player info... There are so many things I want to try in the game, like Rainbow Crowning more Reiji UR and doing 10M in a Reiji event, but there was so little time for me and the game. But the short period of time, the 2 years (or maybe 3 idk maths lol) I spent with Shining Live is long enough leave so many beautiful memories in my mind, and much more beautiful things can grow from them...

Thank you Shining Live.

Goodbye.

Utapri Live Emotion release date

It has been confirmed that Live Emotion will release on the 12th of June!

Pre-registration is open now on Google Play and the App Store, but is currently only available for Japanese accounts.

There are also new promotional images featured on the official app and play stores that have hints of new information in them. (Information in Image descriptions and below the read more)

Previously used promotional image featuring all 18 idols and the games logo.

Otoya from a music video without the rhythm game overlay. The Japanese text reads "Idols show off their brilliant performances!"

Images of various alternate rhythm game backgrounds that can be used during gameplay instead of the previously shown cg music video dance backgrounds. Top left shows a similar layout to Shining Live, with a static concert stage background and six rhythm icon lanes. The right shows a backdrop of the full art of the initial Reiji UR Piece with 4 rhythm icon lanes, confirming the amount of lanes will differ between songs, or difficulties. Japanese text reads, "A rhythm game featuring popular songs from Uta no Prince-sama!"

Four images of the chatting screens. One close-up each with Shion, Ranmaru, and Syo, and one with Eiichi central and Nagi, Masato, and Camus in the background. Japanese text reads "Have fun talking with the idols!"

Two images of the story mode. One the left is the main story with Ai, Tokiya, and Eiji, and on the right is likely a private or piece story with Van. The Japanese text reads, "a rich story with 18 idols!"

Two shots of the Piece level up screen, showing Yamato and Cecil URs. The Yamato UR rewards the player with four of a key shaped item with a pink heart crystal and ribbon. Design will likely vary in colour and shape for each character and group. The Japanese text reads, "Let's cultivate fragments of emotions, the Emotional Pieces!"

Image of Minipri, with Ren, Natsuki, and Kira in the same room setup as was initially seen. Japanese text reads, "Decorate your own rooms!"

Image of each group, likely taken from the music video of their group songs from the Live Emotion Theme Song CD.

How to Play the Uta no Prince-Sama Games in English!!

Disclaimer!! This method won't provide a completely accurate translation but after playing one route fully (around 8 hours), I can confirm that this method works well enough. You can understand the plot and even play the minigames (I recommend playing them on easy though since they can be quite challenging on hard)

This method also works on the official releases of the games so pirating or emulation isn't necessary. Obviously I can't stop anyone from pirating but if you can please consider buying a copy of the game. At the time of writing all of the games are on sale on the Nintendo eShop, with Repeat being 50% off and the rest of the games being 20% off. Just make sure to test this method before spending any money, I don't want anyone to spend the money and then realize this method is uncomfortable or anything of the sort.

1. Requirments!

You will need two devices. A mobile phone and the device you will be playing the game on.

2. Step One, Translator

I use the Google Translate app but any translator with similar features will work. For this method we will be using the camera feature.

3. Step Two, Using the Camera Feature

Using the camera feature is quite simple.

After you go to the camera you will be met with this screen (it's black for privacy reasons but that's what you will see with your camera).

Point the camera at the text you want to translate (in this case the text box in the game). It will automatically translate the text even if you don't take a photo. Just make sure to move your camera away from your screen when moving on to the next line because otherwise it won't translate the next line.

This method is quite tiring so make sure to take frequent breaks to let your hand rest. Personally I took breaks after every chapter or when I was raging at the rhythm minigame (I had the minigames on hard at first, don't repeat (pun not intended) my mistake).

If you try out this method please let me know how it went. I'm really curious to see if this method is bearable for most people or I am so obsessed with Utapri that I will do anything to consume content for it.

Hi, everyone! I’m SaVannaWrites, an EN PNGtuber, collector, artist, etc. A friend of mine and I have started a group project called OoftaPri Entertainment, an effort to introduce and expand the fandom of Uta no Prince-sama, giving updates and news of all things going on with the franchise. We also do entertainment, as the title of the project suggests. We’re working on doing English covers of all songs from the franchise, and doing English dubs of the drama tracks. We hope to see you guys join us on our journey!

My primary interest is Vocal Synths, especially the characters Hiyama Kiyoteru and KAITO. I’m also into Pokemon and general Nintendo games, and used to be into a lot of other series (like A3!, Utapri and Fire Emblem), and will reblog them from time-to-time. I also reblog a lot of posts I agree with or find funny unrelated to my interests. Original posts consist of my own art that you can find under the tag #my art and misc posts you can find under #bean text.

It’s ok to use my art as icons and to repost it, as long as you mention my username somewhere in your profile / in the post itself. Don’t repost it to get an audience to laugh at it, though. If I found out about it, I’d be very sad.

Minors can follow, though I recommend caution, as I may forget to tag not safe for work / suggestive content. If you want me to tag something, please don’t hesitate to send me an ask!

[mas-ai]

so i had a hard day and i’m re-watching my favourite utapri episodes.. and i have a selfship with Reiji and Ai and also ship polyQN so seeing this scene again has a few lil headcanons popping up~

Ai: Also Ai:

Only asks what Reiji’s talking about because he doesn’t understand being lonely

He then proceeds to complain about how quiet it is, more often than Camus and Ranmaru bicker. To the point where they tell him to shut up.

Complains about something in his chest feeling off

If they practice something without Reiji, Ai gets annoyed because of how off it is

His entire routine is disturbed and he’s not happy and he has to make an entire new schedule

Repeatedly texts Reiji

Way more than he ever would normally

Makes sure Reiji is eating and sleeping properly while he’s away

Insists on being readily available the second Reiji is back

Then proceeds to pout and try to ignore Reiji and is extra cold

Ai’s moody for 2-3 days, same way a cat is when you come home from vacation.. no amount of attention Reiji gives Ai makes him feel better

Pouty Ai

Ai proceeds to keep Reiji awake for an entire night, insisting on having his hair played with

ai doesn’t even like having his hair touched. like at all.

He then wakes up and complains how badly Reiji messed it up and how annoying it was to be bothered the entire night reiji can’t win guys

Makes Reiji re-do his hair, and only then is Ai back to his normal self

[live-emotion]

It was midnight when I saw the release on my time zone, but I fell asleep afterwards bc the download took so long lol

When I woke up I downloaded the translation apps(bc my japanese is pretty bad heh) but none recognized Live Emotion, do you know why that happened?

But I gotta say, I'm so happy to play utapri again, even if I can't understand a lot of what's going on on the screen I'll screenshot everything and translate after if necessary

Natsuki I missed you so much !!!!

*Edit: Apparently it could be something to do with the Gaming Mode on your phone! Although I'm not sure what exactly to change to fix it, but maybe look into that.

Damn I'm sorry the translation options weren't working for you, I'm not sure why that might be. It could be a device, settings, or update issue. You can always try an app and device restart.

From the ones I've tested, I think Instant Translate on Screen is the one I'd recommend for now. For me it is perfectly recognising Live Emotion text, and it doesn't seem to have ads which puts it above the others. The translations certainly aren't perfect though. There is a premium version which will auto translate, but the free options for global translate, region translate, and just dragging the overlayed icon to the text has worked well enough for me.

Open the app

Get out of the premium popup

Change 'Translate from' language to Japanese

Tap the power button below and allow the app access

Open live emotion

Should be a white semi circle somewhere on the edge of your screen. If you tap on it, it will open a menu with the different translate options.

Or you can drag the icon over text you want translated.

iOS and Android both have a feature when you take a screenshot to highlight and translate text in the image, but of course that leaves you with hundreds of screenshots.

Another general tip: if youre going through the story and are using a translation app that has ads every 15 or so uses, then you can use the 'log' function top right to show the four most recently said lines, and use the app to translate that screen instead of one by one (so you have less uses, and longer between ads)
