Bandtober : Day 8 (Forming the band)

It all started when Honami was a sophomore. Speaking to Ayaka about wanting to form a band, also because she had promised it to a dear friend in middle school, the cousin, however, did not agree at the beginning given her shy nature. After several attempts she manages to convince Ayaka to sing with her, knowing that she had good singing skills, so the base of the band left, with only the two of them as members. At a Roselia concert, however, fate would have it that Honami's old acquaintance, as well as the same person to whom she had made the promise, was there during the live: Lucia; between so many memories and threesome chat, in the end she too joins the band. Oriko's arrival in the group is like a bolt from the blue, given her family situation which is not the best, so much so that she was blocked by her mother because of her sister. Only with the help of her childhood friend, Mirai, will she be able to be part of it, after she talked with the senpai Aihara to be able to do something for her, succeeding in her enterprise with the addition of a fifth member. Among many trainings, their debut concert and the thousand discussions between relatives and friends, this is how the TIERGEIST were formed, even if, like all good things, they have an end: they can continue playing together only until the two new arrivals graduate, a small rule and permission imposed by the mother of the young Wazawai.

Day 9 (Equipment Shopping)

[One Sunday morning - In front of the station]

• Honami: "Finally we are all there, apart from Ayaka..."
• Lucia: "What do you want to do with it? After all, she doesn't have to get any tools."
• Honami: "But that doesn't justify her, you know, I don't want her to let go too much now that she's senior year."
• Mirai: "So Tan-chan-senpai doesn't come then?"
• Oriko: "How are you hearing no, I can really see that you have the intelligence of a dog."
• Mirai: "If it weren't for your sister going out with my brother, now you'd find yourself without that mane you have!"
• Honami: "Girls, now calm down, we went out to get the necessary to fix our instrument. Now that I think about it, Koneko, but what do you need?"
• Oriko: "Oh, nothing really, I only came because Doggo-chan is here~"
• Mirai: "Ko-ne-ko! Now I'll take you and..."
• Honami: "How about if we get a move on?"
• Mirai: "But... Kitsu-nee-senpai, does she have to come too?"
• Honami: "We don't argue, and then I don't see anything bad, the more we are the better, right?"
• Mirai: " Sigh Okay... after all, you're the boss."
• Honami: "Then march on, my braves!"

[Half an hour later - Edogawa Music]

• Oriko: "Senpai, sorry if I disturb you while looking for a pick, but can I ask you something?"
• Lucia: "Don't worry, tell me everything."
• Oriko: "It's about the concert dress, I have some problems closing it and keeping it on."
• Lucia: "And you haven't gained weight, I could say the opposite, right?"
• Oriko: "Yes, I haven't been very hungry lately and in the end I lost almost 2 kilos, could you fix it?"
• Lucia: "Of course. Try to eat something, however, with your height you risk fainting in front of us, you are already skin and bones."
• Oriko: " Kyah! S-Senpai! Why are you touching me?!"
• Lucia: "With all the clothes on, I can feel the ribs almost pronounced, do you understand now what I mean?"
• Honami: "Hey, Lucia, could you come for a moment? I can't find some strings."
• Lucia: "I'm coming. Oriko, remember what I told you, tomorrow anyway bring me the dress to school and I'll try to fix it."
• Oriko: "Okay... Thanks for everything, senpai."
• Mirai: "I finally found the chopsticks I was looking for! Of course you made a nice little cry before, what were you and Kara-senpai talking about?"
• Oriko: "You're really witty, but I'm happy for you that you found them, however nothing that concerns you, I just asked her for a favor, that's all."
• Mirai: "As you wish... After we finish here, would you like to go to Fast Food? Looks like a new burger from the Big Bang series is came out!"
• Oriko: "You're really crazy about that product, but that's okay with me, we can have lunch there."

Small change due to hurry up, having had some setback, but I think I can consider myself satisfied ... See you soon!

I found this challenge from Riru here! Feel free to try it out as well :3

Day 30: Favorite Favorite Thing About Bandori

I enjoy the gameplay (but that feeling of losing the combo because of 1 Good is painful), the characters and how they have such unique personalities, gachas, and constant events and how there is always something new and fun going on every week!

I hope it's not too late for me to start this Bandori Challenge!

All credits for this challenge goes to Riru

Day 1: Favorite Characters

This is my Top 6 right now:

I relate so much to them in one way or another, well maybe except Kokoro lol she is in my top 5 because she does some have qualities that I wish I could have and also she is very pretty and lovely.

Honorable mentions: Chisato, Saaya, Eve, Kasumi, Kanon, Sayo, Tsukushi, Nanami, Mashiro, Himari.

y'all, i'm curious: in bandori did you have a character that you didn't really like that ended up becoming more of a favorite for any reason?

for me, i'd say my biggest example of this was Tsugumi. i thought she was boring, and like, y'know it's kinda ironic how i thought it was because compared to everyone in Afterglow, she was the blandest, which i'm pretty sure was part of the point of her character.

the point being that even if compared to everyone else she seemed less "interesting," she's still a hard worker, a good friend, and an important member of Afterglow. at first I ignored her for the most part but after she was one of my first 3*s on JP's server, i got a bit more interested in her and tbh while she's not a big fave, I appreciate her a lot more.

another example would probably be Sayo, who became one of my favorites in Roselia after i read their band story and got a better understanding of her as a character--i don't want this post to be too long, but now i also Stan Sayo along with Lisa instead of just seeing her as "green Yukina"

Day 24 - Bring It On

Also here's a tierlist of all my favorites because why not? Feel free to ask me questions on any of my opinions.

I was looking through my photo collection and found this 😂

Ah Hinata is precious

And here we go, a few hours ago we just left "Saechi station" and now here we are, in our next stop. So how about if we do not waste a second more? Let's jump straight into it.

First of all, let's talk about the elephant in the room. Despite being a member of the franchise's newest band, today's honoree had a huge impact on it from the first moment she and her character were announced, her violin was a breeze of fresh air and the first proposal that It was moving away from the norm, bringing us something we hadn't been able to hear until then (on the girls' side of the franchise)

Now, about the guest herself, Since this is her first role as a Seiyuu I'm pretty sure most if not all of us never heard about her until the new band was announced, even thou her official channel and covers were more or less known. But now that some time has pass and we get to know her better there is no doubt in the fact that as musician, she is greatly talented, and as a person, she is a pretty funny girl who loves to cosplay and have some laughts with both, her bandmates and her fans.

For that, and for the many moments that are still to come, let's join to the celebration as well, raise our glassess and wish the best to the lady that give her voice and amazing skills to the first violinist of the franchise and member of Morfonica!

Very happy birthday Ayasa!! Let's hope this is just the beginning of a successful new career for you!

If anyone want to know more about her, chek out Smol's Morfonica Seiyuu introduction post

juri akamine (NEP2NE)

day four of bandtober is bassist(s)! just juri for today since DARK★PORTAL's bass is all completely computer-generated. hopefully all my catch-up work will be finished so i can start working on the regular days.

juri is blunt, methodical, and deadpan. she is experienced in the musical field and very jaded -- she's been in a handful of bands, the most notable of which was a fairly serious band. this band made it to the finals of a girls' band contest before losing and subsequently splitting up. this failure resounded with her, and was a main reason she was so hesitant to join NEP2NE in the first place. her experience in the industry puts her at an advantage over her band mates, barring kiyoko, and while she may seem like she holds it over their heads, all she really wants is to be helpful and find her place in the band. juri idolizes RAS, specifically CHU² and LAYER.

in the band, juri is also the manager and advisor. her expertise and knowledge about the social climate of bands and the professional industry puts her, and the band, ahead of most self-managed girl bands. along with kiyoko, she works on equipment and booking.

Day 29: Characters I relate to

it's funny how the girls i relate to the most are actually my best girls

Misaki: i'm copying and pasting what i put for her birthday post thank you

• we’re both dry

• our resting faces make us look so upset lol

• completely insecure

• both of us usually don’t know where we belong

• overthinkers

• down to earth

• sarcastic

• logical

• caring, but we don’t seem to know how to show it

• thought processes are the same haha

• would laugh at one of our friends for being irrational (like in band story 2-)

• SAME FASHION SENSE LIKE

that's a lot actually but it seems pretty self explanatory if dont understand plz comment because i have no idea how to explain this lol

Masuki, and I'll do bullet points and YAY EXPLAINING BECAUSE I CAN THIS TIME

• misunderstood/assumed or underestimated i cant find the word

• both love cute stuff probably to death

• speak rlly similar (i dOnT cuRsE oKaY)

• kind of the same personality (passionate, "hot-headed" if you must, laid-back)

• very random but like we lay down on the ground a lot

• both yell a lot actually

• dunno it seems like she's the type to hide her feelings (i have one piece of evidence and it sounds like a spoiler when i type it out) which i do a BUNCH

• not necessarily same fashion sense (because you would never see me wear that long skirt and those shoes), but i would 100% wear that usagi jacket can i have it please-

• idk but just wanted to note that one drastic thing that we DONT have in common is baking/cooking, i swear i tried to make pancakes today and couldn't even hold the spatula the right way

explanation: so when most ppl see masuki the first thing they think is probably """""'scary""""" or """"""""""""""""""""""""""""mean"""""""""""""""""""""""""""" (i FREAKING dare you to call her mean if you know her personality), but like on the inside she's just some girl that loves to play drums and probably more than that loves everything cute <3 same with me like if you saw me for the first time you'd probably be SO SCARED LIKE I LITERALLY NEVER LOOK HAPPY (thanks stupid eyebrows & eyes) but i'm just some girl that can't seem to keep up with her age when it she's alone (do you remember me putting that i'm a childish person on my get to know me questions thing? it's truth i have like 7 stuffed animals on my bed and i feel really weird without them its a problem-) and also loves adorable things in every way

then the rest i think is pretty self explanatory

honorable mentions: Maya, Tae, Rimi, Saaya, Rei, Tsugu, Rinko, and from reading her character description Nanami but I'm not a genius lol

okay not related but I went to check how tall I was in cm and I realized that I’m 1 cm taller than O-Tae. that’s really tall for my age I-

Another question for fanbands! If your fanband(s) were to hold a live (Morfonica's Cantabile, Roselia/RAS' Rausch&Craziness, PasuPare's Irodori Special, etc.), what would the live(s) be called?

Solo lives, joint lives with existing bands or other fanbands, group lives with a lot of other bands, whatever the lives are for and about, that's for you to think about!

Characters I relate to:

I am extremely shy and reserved so we can already say that I relate to Rimi, Kanon, Rinko and Mashiro. Now let's go into detail!

Rimi: She loves horror movies and Halloween! Just like me, Halloween is the best party of the year :D

Kanon: cries easily, like me haha; _; She loves jellyfish ... I love all sea animals so that's perfect

Rinko: She's a little afraid of other people, isn't she? If so then so is it for me! She gives up easily, another thing in common. And she plays video games, totally me :D

Mashiro: Does she feel weak compared to others and is a little depressed? I hope I'm not talking nonsense, I don't know her very well yet! :( but if so, so am I
