okusawamiikun’s 30 Day Challenge!

Day 1: Favourite band

Please don’t ask me why I decided to do this now when uni just started but nonetheless I’m here to once again yell about PoPiPa. Idk what else I have to say really but my love for them has grown to the point that Roselia fell to second after maintaining equal first from the very beginning (I’m sorry hh I still live for them). PoPiPa’s interactions never fail to make me smile (unless it’s Double Rainbow in which case I consider filing a lawsuit for my heart every time I revisit it, which is . . . a lot shh). Weirdly I didn’t come to love them through the anime but was immediately drawn to them in the game. I know a lot of people find them bland in the game so uh, what did I see in them exactly? Honestly idk but they just have this simple charm that works, even if they seem kinda trope-y at first glance, bc of their easy chemistry with one another. Reading their stories is really like diving into their world and witnessing a tiny snapshot of their lives that leaves me all warm and fuzzy and wishing I had a group of friends like them. PoPiPa isn’t supposed to be about drama and heavy plots (but when the angst hits, oh boy it hurts bc it’s normal girls living normal lives and experiencing the pitfalls that come with that, which are easy to relate to). PoPiPa is about the small things in life you might miss if you blink, celebrating the moments of joy and supporting those you love through the hiccups and challenges. PoPiPa is about how high you can soar, together, all while being nothing but ordinary.

Also can I just say their lives are so much fun to watch? I especially love how the seiyuu are sometimes in character and act like themselves the rest of the time. Their energy is infectious and really shines through when they’re not restrained by their roles, but also seeing the characters come to life on stage adds milleniums to my lifespan so. The 4th live hit that sweet spot between the two imo.

Alright I may talk too much about Arisa on future days and I will try not to but no guarantees

Fun fact : Right the day before my girfriend (if you're asking,yes,i'm a girl and yes,i'm proudly lesbian UwU) introduced me to Bandori i found on pinterest a fanart of Ran,no not the one of the HH meme oof another one,the one up here ⬆ I personally really love that fanart,it's so beautiful TwT

gee chisato how come craft egg lets you have nine girlfriends

Unpopular opinion: this Tomoe card is bad.

The costume is pretty nice but... her expression... Tomoe definitely doesn't feel comfortable in that. I know how much people tend to like the "ikemen girl theme", but leave that to Kaoru. Thanks for coming to my TED talk I guess

Favorite Event

I’m a real sucker for summer festivals in anime, and I have some broken memories of attending one with my own family while living in Okinawa (I was only two years old, but I still remember a lot from the time we spent in Japan). All the wonderful smells of fresh food being sold, the fun games stands, the fireworks that always go off as the night draws to a close… They just seem like they’d be super fun to attend, and I adore this event because of it! The event is more than just a group of friends going to a festival together though, because something crazy always happens to the PoPiPa girls, and they always find a way to have some heartwarming moment.

30 days challenge by okusawamiikun || DAY XIII - FAVOURITE COVER OVERALL

this worked out really well for me because while my favourite cover is technically a HaroHapi song, it’s actually a collab, so it didn’t feel right in that section anyway!

I love this rendition of Hare Hare Yukai so much guys. you’d never think Ran & Aya & Kokoron’s voices would go this well together but here we are and they sound amazing. it’s a good song to begin with but I think I prefer this over the original. maybe it’s just the mix. it may be the mix. well, whatever it is, I’m glad it’s a thing!
