I'll do days 30 and 31 today

Day 30: Favorite thing about Bandori?

If we're talking about just the franchise in general, I'd go with the live performances, but if we're talking about the game, probably the covers. I love the covers that they release. (However, it's kind of a love/hate relationship, since Craft Egg still won't give me a Yorushika cover. COME ON CRAFT EGG! At least give us a cover of Just a Sunny Day for You! It has 100 million views on YouTube!)

Day 31: How did you start playing Bandori and when?

I was introduced to it through Beat Saber. I saw that someone was making maps of BanG Dream! songs, and I was wondering what that series was, so I looked it up, started watching the anime, and then later started playing the game. I started watching the anime in March 2019, and then I started playing the game around July or August the same year.

Also, I'll talk about some random stuff too because I feel like it.

So I still haven't come out to my parents. Hopefully I can get myself to do that this weekend. My friend keeps encouraging me.

Next, I still can't stop thinking about the Étranger series. The manga was way too adorable, and now I'm just waiting for a U.S. release of the movie, even though that will probably never happen. Same with the Given movie. We're probably never gonna get to see that in the U.S., since it's just not as popular as things like Demon Slayer or Made in Abyss.

Day 28 - 'Here Comes Santa' and 'A Fleeting Night's Dream'

wooo wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

should be going quicker from here on out since i doubt ill do many edit-type things... maybe... hrmm

Day 9 - Fave to Least Fave in Morfonica

i dont have particularly strong opinions on them because ive only read their band story but here! i like nanami, touko, and rui roughly about the same, which is to say i like them all, tsukushi is eh, and mashiro kinda grates on me ;_; but thatll probably change once i read more!

also i do love mashiro's voice so much and everyone who was mean to her seiyuu about it is a sad person with no life.

and uh

Day 10 - Fave to Least Fave in Raise a Suilen

i dont know them enough !! sorry !

how have I never drawn rina until now

but here’s a five minute doodle of little bby rina as a thanks for 40+ followers :D tysm the worlds best community

LOOK AT THAT TERRIBLE LIGHTING IM SO SORRY

Day 7 - Fave to Least Fave in Pastel*Palettes

Aya > Hina/Maya > Eve > Chisato

Hooray! I'm actually on time for Day 16 of Bandtober, Opposite Aesthetic! (And yessss, artwork this time XD)

Since BonTekuno's aesthetic is futuristic/modern/tech-y, I wanted to draw them all in Lolita outfits since those are like,,, old Victorian,,,, but I picked Nigira cause I thought it would suit her the best . . . although that kinda defeats the purpose of 'opposite' . . .

But anyway! I'm super happy with how this turned out, this is the first time I've drawn Nigira where she actually looks like Nigira . . . eep (also this is the poofiest outfit I've ever drawn lmaoooo)

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

Alright! Late again, but I’ll try to at least line Shiro today so I’ll be able to do both days tomorrow. Anyway, here’s day 5 of Bandtober, BonTekuno’s drummer, Ichika Wakara!

Info from the document: (Which by the way is here, I don’t know why I keep forgetting to link it)

An energetic, quirky first-year student at Hanasakigawa. She thinks all upperclassmen, even students from Haneoka, are her senpai, and sometimes even freshmen who look older than her. She calls herself a loner, and although she’s very popular, she doesn’t get attached to anyone, hanging out with someone once or twice and never again. The only person she sticks to outside of the band is Hina. She’s loved music her entire life, and learned composing at a young age. She composes and writes lyrics for all of BonTekuno’s songs. She also has an older sister in college, Keya, who calls her every day at a certain time. This can be a stumbling block in the band as she is so dedicated to talking to her sister that the other members have to work practices around her calls. Despite her energetic and bubbly nature, when she’s practicing the drums, she gets serious and undistracted.

I've been really messing up on Bandtober the last few days, I've been really busy ;o; So, here's Day 10! I'm almost finished with Day 11 and 12, and then I'll just skip Day 13 and be all caught up. For reals this time. I'm not. Going to. Miss. Any more. Days. Because the upcoming ones are awesome. (I mean, of course there's Sunday which I can't draw on, but I'm going to draw double on the following Monday.) aNYWAY! Ahem:

(CiRCLE Studio)

Nigira: Let’s start with S-O-L-O!

Oro: We did that one first last time. Can’t we do This World instead?

Ichika: Ooh, I’m with Oro-senpai! This World has a way quicker tempo than S-O-L-O, and I want to drum really fast to warm up!

Kona: I’m fine with whatever everybody’s fine with.

Shiro: Can’t we just pick something that makes everybody happy?

Oro: Sigh. Fine, S-O-L-O.

(Ichika plays a quick riff on her drums.)

Ichika: There, I’m warmed up! Let’s play.

(Oro steps up to her microphone and taps on it.)

Oro: Testing, testing, ichi, ni, san--

(The microphone squeals. Oro cringes, adjusts it, and tries again. No sound comes out.)

Oro: Nigira, can you check the mic sensitivity?

Nigira: On it!

Ichika: Come on, guys, I want to play already!

(Oro taps the microphone one last time.)

Oro: Alright, we’re good. Let’s play.

(They start the song.)

Oro: Ichika, what was that?! The drumming was way too crazy!

Ichika: Sorry! I told you I needed to warm up with This World first!

Shiro: Well, then, let’s play that instead.

Nigira: Uuungh~, we’re never going to be as good as Afterglow if we have to pause in the middle of a song~!

Kona: Don’t worry, everyone! I’m sure everybody pauses in the middle of a song sometimes! And if they don’t, maybe they can’t find what’s wrong with their music, and then they won’t get better!

Oro: That . . . doesn’t make sense at all.

Nigira: Hmm~, it kinda does?

Oro: Alright, This World it is. And Shiro-chan? Don’t mess up the lyrics this time, please?

Shiro: Waaah~! It’s hard to DJ and sing at the same time!

Oro: Sigh. Just . . . try to sing the right words.

Shiro: I’ll try . . . but . . . uwaa~

Ichika: Let’s just play already! I’m getting antsy!

Kona: You’re always antsy, Chika-chan~

Ichika: That’s true . . .

Nigira: Okay! One, two, three! . . .

The formatting is pretty messed up since I originally wrote it in a Google Doc, but yep! There it is! :D

Wahoo! Today, I'm finally going to be caught up with Bandtober! This is going to be an extremely long post, so feel free to skip this in the feed (although there is a cool announcement at the bottom, so scroll down if you want to see it.)

Day 11: First Show!

(BonTraveler restaurant-- backstage)

Nigira: Waaah~, I’m so nervous!

Oro: Why are you nervous? It’s your own family restaurant! You’ve performed here a thousand times!

Ichika: Oro-senpai~, your hands are shaking!

Oro: Ahaha! I’m not the one whose parents own the restaurant!!

Ichika: And meanwhile, Kona-senpai looks perfectly calm . . .

Kona: Hm-hm-hmmmm♪ Polar bears♪

Oro: KONA!! Stop thinking about polar bears for one second!

Kona: What? Oh! Yeah! Okay. Sorry . . . polar bears are my motivation . . .

Oro: You’re such a dork.

Nigira: Why are you being so quiet, Shiro-chan?

Shiro: M-must-- st-stay-- calm . . .

Nigira: Aww~, Shiro-chan! Everything’s going to . . . be okay . . . waaaaah~!

Ichika: Nigira-senpai, crying isn’t gonna help, is it~?

Nigira: You guys are mean~!

Oro: You sound like Himari.

Nigira: I spend too much time around her . . .

Shiro: Aahh! We’re on!

Kona: Wahoo!

Nigira: Phew . . . deep breaths, let’s go!

(BonTraveler stage)

Nigira: Hello, BonTraveler!

(Silence.)

Nigira: I-I know I’ve messed up in the past . . . and I haven’t done my job properly, but now . . . I have a band!

Nigira: I mean . . . we have a band. And although we disagree . . . a lot . . . and our practices are kinda chaotic, we’re together. And we’ll stay that way. Performing to show that anyone can play music.

Nigira: I present you . . .

BonTekuno: BONTEKUNO!

Oro: Let’s kick things off with S-O-L-O!!

Day 12: Songwriting!

(Ichika’s room)

Kona: Ooo, your place is nice and cozy!

Shiro: Yeah, it’s really cute, in a unique sort of way! W-wait-- unique is a good thing, right?

Ichika: Thanks! Hina-senpai helped me decorate it!

Oro: You really like that PasuPare girl, don’t you . . .

Nigira: So, Ichika, what were your ideas for the new song?

Ichika: Uhhh . . . around here somewhere.

Oro: You lost them?

Ichika: No, but before you guys came over my mom told me to clean my room, and I kinda shoved everything wherever it would fit . . .

Shiro: Ahaha, that’s so like you, Chika-chan . . .

Kona: Well, let’s help you find them, then~. Do you remember where you put them?

Nigira: Yeah! Let’s start with your--

Ichika: Aah! I found them!

Oro: Phew . . . that was quick. Let’s read them, then.

Ichika: So, I was going for some nostalgia here . . . does it make you guys think of when you were little? It’s not a song yet, but it’s some brainstorming.

Kona: Ooo~, I love it! Polar!

Shiro: Wow . . . you really went deep into me and Oro’s backstory, didn’t you . . .?

Oro: Wh-what?! Let me see.

Oro: Oh . . . it’s actually not bad . . .

Nigira: Alright, guys, let’s turn this into a song! I want to kind of tie in the word ‘Nostalgia’ somewhere in the main chorus . . .

Kona: Like techno-stalgia . . . or something--

Ichika: Kona-senpai, that’s genius!

Kona: Eh? Oh!

Oro and Kona: Technostalgia!

Nigira: Yeah, I seriously love that!

Shiro: It works perfectly for our band’s theme!

Oro: Okay, but it’s just one word. Or a fusion of two words . . . we’ve gotta work on the actual song.

Nigira: This melody just kinda popped into my head . . . it’s just a couple notes, though . . . hmm-hmm-hmmmm-hm-hmmmm-hmm~!

Ichika: I really like that! It sounds like the beginning of the song . . .

Oro: Noooo, I was just going to say it works for the pre-chorus.

Nigira: Oh. I thought it sounded like the end of the song.

Shiro: Why do you all fight over everything? Eep . . . I didn’t mean to be harsh . . .

Kona: Let’s just take those notes and see how they work for the rest of the song, okay?

Nigira: Yeah. So we know that the chorus will start with ‘TECHNOSTALGIA!’ But we don’t want it to be like, a shout.

Oro: Yeah, cause we want it to be nostalgic.

Shiro: So . . . kinda sad, but hopeful for the future at the same time?

Ichika: Yeah, something like that. I’m seeing lots of piano. Shiro? You can make piano stuff, right?

Shiro: Sure can!

Kona: Woohoo~, this song is coming along nicely!

Oro: Kya!! Kona, we haven’t even written any lyrics!

Day 14: Album Cover

Since I was planning on having all of the members on the album cover, I couldn't draw it in one day, so here's the description! (Sorry, no artwork today.)

There are glowing spheres all over a gray background, floating in the air, and the BonTekuno members are grabbing them, trying not to fall off. It sounds really weird, but it would probably make more sense if I drew it. (Maybe I'll do a sketch tomorrow?)

Day 15: Rivals

Time for the announcement!! I've been working on very basic ideas for a new band based off of the character I made in that one mix-traits-and-make-a-Bandori-girl post someone made (I can't remember who ack--)! I haven't decided on a name yet, but it's themed off of my love of creating dessert gijinka characters! (Here are a few examples of them.) Their outfits are dessert-based, and their music is kind of a mix between PasuPare and PoPiPa, with some Morfonica elements! Anyway, BonTekuno and them are rivals! Haven't figured out why yet, just that they are.

Alright, that's it for now! Sorry for plopping this gigantic post on the feed . . . see y'all tomorrow!

is that an undercut i see??!!!
