Well...a day later but here i am, ready to hit the rails once again, we've got a very special girl to congrat so everyone, please get aboard and put yourself comfy because the Happy party train will resume it's journey once the last preparations are over.
Fuel: checked, engine - checked, wagons - checked, route map - checked. All right, everything is set, let's get back to business!
Our Honoree is a lady that, as i said before, is very special to me. She was my door to and the reason for which i discover this franchise. I lost the count of the times i've told you the story but watching her untrained initial 3 stars (which to this day i'm still belive is one of the prettiest cards ever) maked me curious about the game so i decided to watch a bit of it before finally decide if i wanted to start another rythm game or not.
And so, i went through all the characters profiles and look at her Seiyuus until i reach our guest, learning that she is a drummer was the first nail in my coffin since i've got a huge soft spot for drummers, then came learning about her personality. Mature, loyal to her friends and completely caring towards them and her little sister who she feel so proud of, but at the same time a hot-bloded girl whose can easily lost her temper and it's outspoken enough to not be afraid of speak whats on her mind. I adore this archetype of characters because usually it means that they are actually quite insecure on the inside and have troubles to actually express their feelings and watch them overcome that makes me so happy, the final nail was learn about who was the chosen one to give her a voice, as one of my favorite seiyuus of all times i knew the moment i saw her name that no matter what, i would ending up falling in love with the character. The passion she puts in every character she has is always a secured that you are going to feel every emotion she wants to transmit and is going to touch you in one way or another.
The backstory of her band was the bow that finished wrapping up the package and definitely convinced me that I should know more about the franchise.
And so, here we are today, even if it's a day late. paying homage to a girl that, in this two to three years that has passed since i met her for the first time, have hooked me and push me into this amazing and lovely family that is the Bandori fandom. But without further ado, let's raise our glasses for the one and only "Ramen Broth Caring Sister", the everly loud and adorable drummer of Afterglow!
Happy birthday Tomoe!!
