okusawamiikun's 30-Day Challenge / Birthday Countdown Day 1 - Favorite Band!

THE CLASSIC ROCK BAND FORMED OF CHILDHOOD FRIENDS, A-FU-TAAAAAAAAAA-GU-ROOOOOOOOO

Despite not being a huge fan of rock, I absolutely adore Afterglow's aesthetic and group dynamic. Bias for Tomoe aside, I love how every one reacts differently based on who is saying what unless Ran's speaking (then everyone just kinda agrees). They also feel the most consistent when it comes to interactions. While it does unfortunately put them in a space of predictability (Moca says [thing], everyone sighs, Tsugu/Tomoe attempts to explain [thing], everyone suddenly understands, Ran agrees, everyone agrees) it reminds me a lot of hanging out with my friends in high school. Having that sort of predictable comfort isn't always a drawback; sometimes you need that bit of reliability in your life.

Also, being honest, Roselia and Afterglow are pretty much tied but I gave the Fave Title to Afterglow because I love the punk aesthetic a bit more than the gothic one. Sorry, Rinko. ;~;

Can we just appreciate how beautiful Ran and Yukina are next to each other with these contrasting costumes?

All this talk about what happens in Season 3 and the future of Bandori made me remember something.

Season 3 was originally going to air in October of 2019. If you are thinking that next year it's going to advance another year, it won't. Unless they, for some reason, planned another advance in the year but they shouldn't have and they won't.

I have to wait a year for this card on EN... Are you kidding me?

I LOST MY RIGHT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE GACHA

So last week, as you probably know, I got limited Ran from a solo. The next day, as you probably know (i'm repeating words lol) I did a 5 play, got 2 four stars (tae, pajama party, Aya, the one i admire) and 2 three stars. NOW I DO A SOLO FOR A DUPE (i need those michelle stickers) AND I GET THIS!? THE GACHA IS STARTING TO LIKE ME NOW!!! (i hope you all get some good gacha luck soon!)

Happy Birthday to one of my best Bandori girl of all time: Ran!!!!

You mean a lot to me and I know life will be wonderfully same as always for the whole year! (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡

The fact that the PoPiPa version of Returns is a full minor third/one and a half steps higher than Tae's is really funny to me bc somewhere along the way they must've had a conversation like

"Hmm can we bump this up into C major"

". . . Ok Kasumi we know your voice is super high but why would you voluntarily make yourself hit F5s for no reason"

"Because uhh . . . C major is the easiest key!"

"??? Most of our songs are in other keys and you're fine with those??"

". . . Well! Um! It's symbolism! A 'return' to the uhh . . . simplicity of our roots amirite hehe~"

At which point everyone just gives up and goes with it but hey, it sure ended up sounding nice

WHY ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT GLASSES GIRL RAN YET THO

Not gonna lie, when I first started the game I didn't like Kasumi's voice that much, but now I'm jamming to all these Popipa songs. Her voice is just really expressive and unique. It can be super fun and happy one second, but then be hitting me in the feels in the next (looking at you, Returns). GIVE AIMI AND KASUMI THE LOVE AND APPRECIATION THEY DESERVE
