quietly peeks out from the shadows

hello two things

1. add me on GuruMiku t5rQRXRH (赤及)

2. in my absence I made a presentation about ARGONAVIS and by that I mean it's 43 slides of me yelling about band boys at a hypothetical listener because the need to infodump is strong and everyone is very tired of me constantly saying the same things. I do think it actually works as a general introduction coughs

sorry I'm still being quiet especially @ the people I usually talk to but I'm still noticing my emotional state flip-flopping between 50% & 120% when I ideally should be at like. 95 ... I feel like I crashed last Wednesday, have rebooted, but all my settings got lost and I don't remember how I had them so I'm still fiddling with that hhh

I promise I will try and be back in full force soon!! in the meantime, if you have something to say to me please hold it until I've readjusted if it's important because I cannot guarantee I will see it right now aa

You all will probably think I'm crazy but I'm going to wait for the D4DJ EN release even though I can access JP version. My reasons can apply to any JP or elsewhere game that one cannot play because of their location. If I were to continue playing, I would have to either learn the language (I was considering it before realizing I have 7 classes each with hw to do outside of school) or use Google Translate every 10 seconds. Plus, playing EN version will give you a heads-up of the event ahead, which is really nice. Also, the only way for me to play D4DJ is using a VPN that has limited data a month that would make it no way for me to play daily. So, people who want to play any game that is outside of your country that will go global, just waiting for the global version can be worth the wait!

Time to wait for 1 yr now lol (hopefully less? I still have no regrets please don't question my sanity)

i should draw more bandori art. comment the card i should draw/redraw. you can specify if u want it to be a redraw too if u wanna

AHHH OMG im so proud of afterglow!! the new song and mv is very much in jrock style and after a few listens its actually very catchy! i really hope they gain more fans from songs like this, since they're currently on of the most underrated bands in the whole game. Also, this is off topic, but can we please get Glee Glee Glee by Guri Guri already- like ik they're not a main band, but come on man. Give them some more love bushimo-

In light of the news regarding Tomoyo Kurosawa's positive diagnosis of COVID-19, please remember to be respectful and keep in mind that she is a real life person that will be going through this hopefully steady recovery. It's not Misaki/Michelle, Tsuki Watanabe, or any of the other characters she has played over the years.

All of the "NOOOO NOT MISAKI, WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO MICHELLE???" comments I've been seeing in various spots after the news broke not only feels rude, but incredibly transparent to the situation at hand. If there's anyone you want to create hashtags for and give well wishes to, it's Kurosawa-san... not her fictional roles.

How and when I start the game:

So I started playing precisely on February 3, 2020 at 12:44, I know precisely because I had taken in screen the gacha which was at that time (it was this one)

I had the flu for 1 or 2 days and was really dead. I couldn't move from my room, I was super tired and in addition I live in an apartment and I am an only child ... you can say that I was quite bored eh? :(

I said to myself "it's not possible, we have to find something to do ... a video game?"

I already had several video games on my phone but I didn't particularly want to play them, I really wanted a new one. I went to the apple store and since he knows I play rhythm games a lot, he suggested Bang Dream! And tadammm that how I entered the game and I think I'll never be able to get out of it haha! :D

Thank you for following my 31 posts! Sorry again if there are mistakes in English it's not my native language D:

And thank riru for this super cool challenge <3

Ciao a tutti! Let's go back in time with the most dynamic duo of the group, two little pests who made their brothers damn and who, even if they often quarrel, in the end they love each other. And with this I greet you and wish you a good continuation. Saluti!

Bandtober : Day 20 (Childhood Friends)

[One afternoon - Arashi home salon]

(The cold had begun to take its toll now that it was the middle of autumn, and the trees were turning warm tones and gradually shedding their leaves. Oriko had stopped by to pay a courtesy visit to her friend. childhood that was intent on taking care of the house and her little brother, soon finding herself sitting on the armchair waiting for the other to join her.)

• Oriko: "It seems like a century has passed since I came here ..."
• Mirai: "Hikaru! Stop walking around the house naked and hurry up to get in the tub, you damn flea!"

(The time to hear the screams of the hostess and to see them both running around the room, leaving the guest speechless and with a puzzled look, dodging when the little one jumped on the sofa to shorten his escape route, but stumbled because of the carpet in front of his sister's feet.)

• Mirai: "Well it suits you! I told you a million times that you have to stop throwing a tantrum!"
• Hikaru: "I DON'T WANT!"
• Mirai: "Can't you see you're making a fool of yourself in front of Oriko ?! Make sure you're good."
• Hikaru: "LET ME GO! ONEE-CHAN!"

(He started wiggling when she took him, like a sack of potatoes under her arm, dragging him towards the bathroom. Oriko rubbed her nose slowly, once removed glasses on her lap, then ran fingers over her temples. picked a perfect time to pay her a visit, but deep down she found it funny, it reminded her a lot of when she and Mirai were kids.)

[About 7 years earlier - Park]

• Mirai: "Are you ready?"
• Oriko: "Not yet!"

(She ran around looking for the perfect hiding place, wanted to win that game of hide and seek this time, she just wanted to show her that she too was capable of camouflage. Oriko wandered a little longer before entering the pirate ship, crawling to crouch behind one of the barrels in the hold, then bringing knees to her chest and wrapping arms around them.)

• Mirai: "ARE YOU READY?!"
• Oriko: "I'M READY!"

(Mirai as soon as she had the signal went to look for her, giggling under her mustache, humming the theme song of a superhero cartoon she was always watching. Oriko was quiet in her corner, smiling at the thought of having finally won the game, having not yet been found, when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her head and make her scream out of fright.)

• Mirai: "I found you!"
• Oriko: "You're a bully, Mittan! You scared me! I don't play with you anymore!"

(The two girls left the structure, with Oriko in the lead followed by Mirai who was behind her, then reaching a bench where a middle school student was sitting, then the little girl with golden hair flung herself over the girl's knees and began to whimpering as she stroked her hair.)

• Oriko: "Nee-san! Mittan bullies me!"
• Momoka: "Don't be like that, she was definitely joking and didn't mean it, right Mirai-chan?"
• Mirai: "We were just playing hide and seek... I found her and then she started acting like this..."
• Momoka: "What did I tell you? It's not like you says-"
• Oriko: "You're still the same bully, Mittan! You don't understand anything!"

(She quickly broke away from her sister as she pounced on the other one punching her arm, receiving a few slaps from her when she tried to free herself from the assault, being quickly caught by Momoka who held her hands firmly in her own.)

• Momoka: "That's not what we do! Immediately apologize!"
• Oriko: "She started it!"
• Momoka: "ORIKO!"
• Oriko: "It's not my fault!"
• Mirai: "Momoka-onee-san!"

(The other child took her hands and stepped in the middle, looking straight at the girl in front of her, backing for her friend who was being rightly scolded.)

• Oriko: "Mittan?"
• Mirai: "Ko-chan's right! It wasn't her fault! Don't blame her!"
• Touma: "May I know what's going on here? Have you been in trouble again, Mirai?"
• Mirai: "Onii-chan?"

(On hearing the boy's voice, the kids broke away from the girl and they all looked at him. He too was a middle school student, with his uniform still on and with his hands full of shopping bags, looking at his little sister.)

• Touma: "I went away for a moment to buy dinner for tonight and I find you doing damage."
• Mirai: "But that's not true! We were just playing!"
• Touma: "It doesn't look like it to me, Oriko looks like a river in flood with that red face full of tears..."
• Oriko: "It may be, but Mittan didn't want to do it on purpose!"
• Touma: "Okay, if you say so, then I believe you. Anyway I went to pick you up Mirai, Mom told me we have to be home in half an hour."
• Mirai: "What?! But it's still early! I want to stay with Ko-chan a little longer!"
• Touma: "You will see each other again at school tomorrow, right? Don't throw a tantrum, we have to go, come on."
• Mirai: "I'm not going home with you!"

(She threw herself on the ground kicking and banging her fists against the dirt, making her brother sigh, who leaned over and put her on his shoulder as he waved at them. Oriko was shocked to see that reaction so violent, but so funny, that she laughed without realize this, then feeling her sister's hand stroking her head again and telling her that it was time for them to go home too.)

Day 30: Favorite thing about bandori

well in terms of the game I REALLY love the beatmaps, the BANDS GOSH DARN IT, and THE G I R L S THEYRE SO PRECIOUS, EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM HAND THEM THE WORLD PLEASE

I also really like the development the characters get! uhm I can’t really speak about masuki and Kokoro yet as they’re the only characters that I don’t recall getting that much (“that much” haha massu has none) but it’s always great to hear about a character and their backstory, also to see how they deal with heavy emotions imo

Last but not least... THE SONGS-

ARE

A

FREAKING

B O P

ALMOST ALL OF THEM

God what would I do without bandori music... it’s on repeat for 5+ hours a day in my head haha

THE FINALE: DAY 31: How did you start playing bandori and when?

I got into bandori through their music! I was listening to a mix of a love live song and “Nastu no don” and I’m liek “WHAT THE HECK THIS GIRL CAN SING”

I was already into love live at the time so I wanted to find something similar :D

then I found a scouting video of bandori that was featuring the beginning scouting set but was probably uploaded during about the very start of the “Where the Flowers Bloom” event. I was finally able to download bandori by the end of it, making my first event “Happy Summer Vacation!”

so I think that makes my start about July 31st, 2018? dk I’ll call that my bandori anniversary

There was a dark period in my life where I didn’t play for like 4 months so I missed SO. DANG. MUCH. and I’m super mad about it :’)

THE THING IS I saw banpa and at first thought it was literally a database, so that’s where I checked all the new cards that came out on jp and all that good stuff

it wasn’t until like 2 years of using it that I actually saw that it was a COMMUNITY as well and I’m like “OMG I REALLY WANNA POST ABOUT BANDORI TOO” so I joined :3

And that’s the 31 days! Sure didn’t feel like it haha

I'm finally back! Still stressed about some stuff, but I wanted to start posting again.

I'll do days 22-25 today, just so this isn't too long.

Day 22: Favorite Cover Song by Roselia

Charles definitely.

Made by one of my favorite artists, Keina Suda, during his vocaloid production days (he went by the name "balloon"), and it was animated by my favorite drawing artist (I'm not sure if that phrasing is correct; I was trying to differentiate that type of artist from a music artist), Avogado6.

Day 23: Favorite Cover Song by Morfonica

Definitely Nevereverland.

Day 24: Favorite Cover Song by RAS

BRING IT ON

My reason for this: LEN LEN LEN LEN LEN LEN LEN LEN LEN LEN LEN LEN..... (Oh no, I've seriously become a Len fanboy)

Day 25: Favorite Other Song

I think I'll have to go with "GO!!!"

Kokoro and Ran singing a song together is just amazing.

I'll continue Bandtober soon, too. I just need time to get my anxiety under control.
