Flashback to when Hina was the only Bandori girl I disliked- and now she's my best girl-

So who are we getting on the JP server for Valentines? I can’t wait to see them lol even though I’m not on that server.

I’m going to start a kind of Event Prediction thing for holiday events because y’know it would be really fun. I HAVE TOO MANY “THINGS” I KNOW.

The past Valentines’ Day events have been more of a brown/gold kind of theme, so I want lots of pink and red and long gowns and amazing new hairstyles! I was thinking maybe all of them should have their hair in a bun on top of their head with lots of wisps of hair coming out of it. Or, similarly, something like Kona from my fan band (with most of the hair down and then a little bun on top.)

As for the members, I’m hoping Kaoru, Sayo, Rimi, Eve, and Misaki, or all PasuPare! And if the members were the ones I’m hoping for, Eve and Misaki would be the four stars with Rimi as the three star, and Kaoru would be the event three star and Sayo would be the event two star. (Kaoru and Sayo could definitely swap though since Sayo’s had a lot of 2*s recently.)

I would have put Himari in as well as Rimi so they could both give Kaoru valentines, but Himari’s in the upcoming Valentines’ EN event, so . . .

Anyway . . . That’s my prediction! It is very very unlikely going to come true but that’s what I hope anyway!

ah, yes. i love pastel*palettes.

Yes I made Ran again....

I drew this Hagumi with a fancy pen. Huhehe

Slight Spoiler for PasuPare BandStory Chapter 1 (Maybe?) and Spoiler for the Mou Ichidou Luminous MV if you haven't watched it yet:

This might end up long so sorry for that.

CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT HOW GENIUS IT IS TO USE DOLLIMAGERY FOR PASTEL PALLETES OF ALL BANDS?!

In the MV, a lot of the off stage shots take place in a sort of makeshift doll factory, I think. The PasuPare girls, first and foremost Aya, are being shown as if they were dolls for sale, as they are being mass-produced into pretty little dolls.

Dolls are exactly what we want them to be, they can be whatever and whoever we say they are, if you want your doll to be a serial killer, your doll is now a serial killer, want the doll to be a perfect Mary Sue? Well, you got yourself a Mary Sue right there, friend.

And why is this so genius? Because that's how some people, and some agencies, see idols. Idols are supposed to be these pure, untouched goddesses that you can dream about, and they are whatever you, or the agencies want them to be. They're wish-fulfillment for people.

Usually, there's some sort of norm that the idols are supposed to fit into; Aya doesn't. In the MV, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but for the sake of this argument, it was. Aya is too small for her box, meaning that she doesn't fit into the norm/mold/whatever, which clearly she doesn't if we talk about her character.

And if we talk about the whole factory thing; If something is produced in a factory, more often than not it is artificial. What else is artificial? The PasuPare we could've had. PasuPare was supposed to lie, to be artificial, to not be real, because they were supposed to fake their instrument-playing, they were supposed to fake everything that happened on stage and Aya was supposed to lip-sync, which can be described as artificial singing.

This also links to the piñata. It represents PasuPare's, Idonno, rebellion? It's basically just there to symbolise them making a change and becoming better because of it.

What I'm trying to say with this? PasuPare is fantastic, and doll-imagery was made for them. Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.

Edit: Upon further inspection of the MV, I think Aya being too small for the box is intentional, as it looks like the other 4 girls do fit into their boxes.

And also; If you imagine the factory as their agency, it ads a whole other level of imagery.

Edit - 1/28 - 2020: Ehm, why is this suddenly getting likes again? Kids? Y'all? Oh wait it's back on the Hot tab that's why.
