It's time to give the background people some attention

I'm wAtChInG yOu....

Are they nonchalantly spying on Kaoru? 🤔

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.

inspired by um. i forgot the person if its u hmu 🤩

but i took the quiz and ayy we got best girl

2nd and 3rd were sayo and ran, respectively, and the one in last was hagumi 😔

The thing about my first real post (and about all my posts from my first month or so) is that I know why I 'talked' like that, and I hate it, SO MUCH.

I already felt a large disconnect between me and my past self at my 2019 birthday, I've past my 2020 birthday, it's even worse. 17 year old me is such an odd person (that's coming from me, I'm odd and crazy and everything in between) and I don't even know why.

That post isn't me, that's just someone trying to not be me. Good thing it didn't take me long to realise that, being myself is 1000x more fun.

Edited my first profile picture on as well! I may 'hate' this post, but that doesn't mean I don't love it! One of my first posts and also the start of posting daily for I think over 6 months. I have fun looking back at my past self (and old writing), it's why I'll always say never to get rid of old work, no matter how 'bad' you think it is.

By the way, it took me 19 days (almost to the minute) from my first post to do an introduction post. I dunno if that's the case of being shy, not being able to turn thoughts into words... or both. Probably both.

Here you go rose-hina!

I’ve always wanted to draw Shinobu so this worked out lol

I’m super satisfied on how this turned out and I think I improved a lot on my art!

Hope that you like it :D

How y’all able to pull multiple times on D4DJ?? Earning gems is hard . . . ;u;

HAPPY RINKO DAY!! <3333

(Yes I re-used my fanart I already posted, shush I’m working on the new one >:oo)

Anyone up for an art trade? I'm really bored and I have a day off school today.

the max amount of art trades I'm taking is five since I don't want to stress myself out too much,,,, sorry ;_;

I have reached my max amount of art trades thanks to everyone who suggested one!

I made Esora from D4DJ but with Pareo's clothes because i get so hype when i knew that they share the same seiyuu, Kurachi Reo! ;^^^:

[PLEASE, DON'T COPY, REPOST OR STEAL MY ART]

Have you guys ever wondered what character songs for the rest of the Bandori cast would be like?

I have. Too much.
