hinarina

so uhh nobody asked but i feel obligated to pay tribute to the (belated) birthday of my all time favorite character, hina! anybody who takes time to read this i will absolutely cherish, but i just want to express the enjoyment i've derived from this painful mobile game over the past 2 years and the happiness i've experienced from a teal-haired pixel 2d anime girl

before the game released to jp, i was keeping updated with it for about a month prior. i initially fell for arisa and aya just from introductions and the first week or so of the game. little did i know, some girl named hina hikawa would come in and TEAR APART the competition

i can't really pinpoint what first drew me to her, because it all sort of hit me at once. i started reading the pasupare story, and as soon as i heard her start talking and looked into her personality, i KNEW that the number one spot had been replaced.

i've always been drawn to energetic types of characters, however, hina is very VERY unique. she had so much more depth than i ever could have expected - she was a genius, and it left her unable to properly understand other people's struggles. i felt so inclined to finish the pasupare story to watch as hina grew to be so much more understanding of her bandmates and people overall.

i love her humor. something about her backhanded compliments always gets a laugh out of me and reading her interactions with other bandori girls makes me light up!

speaking of her relationships, let's talk about her and our other birthday girl (and my 5th best girl), sayo! i could talk on and on about my love for them. the tanabata festival event is one of my favorites EXACTLY for this reason. sayo's inferiority complex is something i can heavily relate to myself, as well as hina's desire to have the same relationship they had as kids. they both care for eachother so much and it makes me so happy to see the different ways they show appreciation for eachother (ex. hina bringing sayo fries in garupa pico, and sayo taking hina's guitar to play in season 2). although they're rather subtle, the hikawa sisters relationship as a whole makes me SO happy., and seeing how sayo has warmed up to hina so much more warms my heart. i just LOVE these girls so damn much and they are the perfect example of polar opposites done right.

now, onto the part where hina hikawa robs me of my money

i've been saving pulls on top of pulls for hina since her first 4* released on jp. to my luck, of course, i didn't get her first card despite pulling about 5 times. or her second card. or her third.

at this rate, i had given up on playing jp bandori as i had a pretty unappealing account with about 4 4 star cards at rank 110ish. this was when bandori en was announced. what is this? ANOTHER CHANCE TO GET MY FAVORITE GIRL?! to put it lightly, you could say i was ecstatic. the day en gbp came out, i started saving as many stars as i could.

a few months later, the day comes to pull for tanabata hina. i have 10 pulls ready and i'm feeling confident. well... that confidence was quickly beat into the ground when i got all 3 star pulls. until the final one. i saw those rainbow glowsticks and FREAKED THE FUCK OUT. i tabbed and at the very end, i was greeted with tanabata sayo.

while i would've happily taken her had i not spent 25k stars on a card that didn't show up, bitter wasn't even a strong enough word to describe how i felt. i continued playing bandori after, but i was beginning to lose motivation. i had been trying so hard for a long time to get even a single card of this girl.

i pretty much went on a hiatus until about august of last year, where i started searching around for starter accounts because i got so fed up with wasting money and pulls to get nothing, and i found my perfect account - all of hina's 4 star cards to date (which was 3 at the time), and birdcage yukina. a 4 4 star starter, which i was more than satisfied with.

i took the account for a pretty decent price, imo, for $30. and with that, i grew that account massively. in the 6 or so months i've had it, it's gone from a 4 4 star card starter to 37 fucking 4 star cards, which is absolutely unbelievable considering i nearly left a game i loved dearly because of having terrible luck.

i won't make this go on any longer than it already has, but i'll just go on to say that hina has been incredibly generous to me. out of 7 pulls for her halloween card, she managed to come out on the VERY. LAST. PULL. as for constellation hina, i went a bit nuts and spent 100 dollars for extra pulls thinking that i would need them, despite getting her on my second pull along with western tomoe and constellation sayo!

just to summarize, i just want to say i love you so much hina. happy birthday you sweet, pure angel. i hope it's just as boppin' as you are. thank you for blessing me so much, you will always be my #1. <3

okusawamiikun's 30-Day Challenge / Birthday Countdown Day 1 - Favorite Band!

THE CLASSIC ROCK BAND FORMED OF CHILDHOOD FRIENDS, A-FU-TAAAAAAAAAA-GU-ROOOOOOOOO

Despite not being a huge fan of rock, I absolutely adore Afterglow's aesthetic and group dynamic. Bias for Tomoe aside, I love how every one reacts differently based on who is saying what unless Ran's speaking (then everyone just kinda agrees). They also feel the most consistent when it comes to interactions. While it does unfortunately put them in a space of predictability (Moca says [thing], everyone sighs, Tsugu/Tomoe attempts to explain [thing], everyone suddenly understands, Ran agrees, everyone agrees) it reminds me a lot of hanging out with my friends in high school. Having that sort of predictable comfort isn't always a drawback; sometimes you need that bit of reliability in your life.

Also, being honest, Roselia and Afterglow are pretty much tied but I gave the Fave Title to Afterglow because I love the punk aesthetic a bit more than the gothic one. Sorry, Rinko. ;~;

Happy Birthday Hina my Boppin Queen.

Goddess of my soul and owner of my heart, I love you so much and please still as cute and funny as always, and hopefully you eat a lot of fries and burgers next to Sayo!

And Happy Birthday to Sayo too.

One of the best and most developed characters in the saga, I love you too and please take care of your sister and Roselia girls, without your knowledge and skills the band wouldn't be the same.

  Day 4   Favorite Afterglow Girl   Tsugumi Hazawa

 Tsugu!! What a pure girl. She doesn’t get...

Day 4 - Favorite Afterglow Girl - Tsugumi Hazawa

Tsugu!! What a pure girl. She doesn’t get enough love within this fandom. She just loves and works hard for everyone, and she literally fainted in the Afterglow band story.. Meanwhile Ran was fighting with everyone .. !!! Tsugumi is a fair and responsible girl who cares about everyone, and makes sure she is always respectful to her upperclassmen. I will STAND FOR TSUGUMI TILL THE END. She is pure, she is innocent, she calls her childhood friends ‘-chan’ even now. She is not plain. She is her own character, and she has her own beautiful personality. I think she is one of the cutest little jelly beans alivE!! Another reason why I love Tsugumi: she wants the best for everyone. She works hard to ensure that everyone will have a successful path, and treats everyone with all the utmost kindness and doesn’t judge anyone, even Sayo or Ran. She has a great personality. She’s sweet, she’s responsible, she’s modest, and she’s a great friend and role model. Her ‘Tsugu-riffic’ mode when she goes overboard with work, that’s just darling. That’s so pure. She works hard for the student body, and doesn’t have the confidence to speak up when she’s overwhelmed. What a cutie. What a pure cinnamon bun. I love her features, and if you don’t, well I will fight for this girl. This flustered cafe girl will always be my motivation. Thank you and good night.

[ P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIES HINA AND SAYO I LOVE YOU SO MUCH]

i FINALLY get to use the neo-aspect romaji lyrics that have been gathering dust in the corner. like reeee its on sAtUrDaY

sAtUrDaY is also when i audition for beauty and the beast. and of course all of the ladies are either auditioning for mrs potts or belle and my parents are like "o noodle youd make the perfect belle!~~ good luck sweetie!!!" and im sitting here like "you guys i really dont care... like i can be babette or somethin" and memorizing a scene, monologue and song by then will be rEALLY HARD especially for me bc my schedule is packed??

and we created the ultimate beast:

akocado and tomoeto

Putting this out here because I won't work on it otherwise.

I've had a fan RAS Event in the works for about 2-3 days now (and by 'in the works', I mean the idea came up while trying to sleep and I went 'that's cool' to some thoughts.). It would come with RAS' Band Story 1 because they aren't in the game obvs. The premise of the story is that one day, while walking to band rehearsals, Rokka bumps into the whole PoPiPa group who tell her about a CiRCLE event that they're going to perform at next month (or something) and give her a flyer about it. Rokka agrees to come watch and leaves in high spirits. At band rehearsals, Rokka messes up or does better than usual or something. Anyway, Chiyu(CHU²) notices and asks her what's happened to her. The flyer drops from her bag or guitar case. Reona(PAREO) picks it up and gives it to Chiyu. Chiyu scans the flyer and is just about to dismiss it before she notices one band. Roselia. To prove that her music is superior to theirs, Chiyu decides on the spot that they'll perform there as well (It says on the flyer 'Bands Welcome' or something along the lines of an open invitation). That's the prologue. My only roadblock currently to making the story is that I DON'T KNOW THE RAS CHAR. WELL ENOUGH TO MAKE INTERACTIONS but that's not gonna change for a while so I'll just have to make do.

Some of the Card images have been loosely thought of (Chiyu, Reona and Rokka) and the main thing I've thought about for the costume is for everyone to wear headphones similar to Chiyu's around the neck that have neon highlights of the character's colour. They could have the RAS logo on the speakers glowing too.

This is heavily WiP especially since I'd have to think of what happens in the story (also it's the first fan event I've thought of). I'm not even likely to have this finished by the end of the month but I'll try my best to work on it whenever I have the time. I will post about this again once everything is finished. Any ideas is also greatly appreciated!

Look forward to the final product!

Oh, it's most likely to be a Cool Event (if that even matters to anyone) with 4★ Chiyu and Rei + 3★ Reona as the Gacha Cards. No prizes for guessing who the Event Cards are.
