November 30th marks the birthday for Avian's vocalist, Crow! Fly with the birds of prey, her Birthday special!

Won't lie that D4DJ content absolutely destroyed any motivation I had for writing Bandori but now that the initial excitement is out, looking to get back into writing, especially two unfinished band docs... Regardless. please continue to support Crow!

I don't know why, but it seems Himari wants to play hide and seek with me.

And yes, it's a bug.

I'm so scared for the card leaks tonight. I really want them to be space themed (since, like I said, every other SayoHina set has been space themed), but at the same time I don't want them to be because I have no stars. All I know is that these cards are gonna be beautiful.

Also, speaking of space themed sets, I'm still waiting for a HHW stargazing event. I've said this before, but during the smile police event, Kokoro said that she wanted to go stargazing with the rest of the band, and that still hasn't happened. Where is it Craft Egg?!

Quick christmas Sayo and Hina doodle 😺👍

tbh the next event looks so cute!! I don’t really like sayohina’s cards but these look so pretty pls

i hope it doesnt look that bad doe

Massu looks so excited sharing choco with Rei!! big GIRLFRIEND moment aaaa ilovethem

bandori, why must you do this to me :(

welp my stars go bye-bye (Even though i dont have any)

The moment I saw baby Hikawas I dropped everything to write uh. This thing. Idk

Her hair looked like Hina’s.

Sayo slammed the photo frame face down before she could think. Wood cracked against wood like the strike of a cane. She flinched, eyes wide, just like in the photo, except there was no regret in the eyes of her younger self.

Quickly she lifted the frame to check for damage (not to look at the picture again, just to check). There was none.

Her eyes slid over the smooth glass. (Not to look at the picture—there might be a telltale crack she’d missed. Though she could easily blame such an accident on Hina if she wanted. It had been Hina who’d so carelessly left the photo here, she was sure.)

Two little girls, identical but for the parting of their hair and a slight downward turn in the eyes of one. And in that slight difference was everything.

Matching earmuffs, matching gloves. Matching smiles, one bigger than the other. Matching capes, one brighter.

Even though Sayo had picked hers out first.

Inconsequential, you would think, being just a little duller, slower, less remarkable. Always almost, never there, a shadow of greatness.

By the time they were in primary school Sayo’s hair hung past her shoulders. She started braiding it to keep it out of her face on windy days. Braiding was methodical work, and Sayo did it with skill and care and pride.

Then Hina tried it. Fat, messy braids that sprang up with life. Smaller ones, and smaller, and still smaller, her face lit with delight as if the challenge didn’t faze her at all, until there were colourful ribbons all over her head and the adults marvelled at the dexterity of her tiny chubby fingers.

The years sharpened their differences. Sayo grew taller and her hair grew to her waist. She’d stopped braiding it long ago. Hina kept her braids, just two little ones behind her ears, keeping each other company, as identical as she could make them.

“Ah, Onee-chan! I found that the other day! Why did you put it away?”

She’d been lost in her thoughts for too long. “It’s none of your concern! Leave me alone.”

That Christmas she forgot. The next Christmas she remembers.

“Onee-chan, what’s that you’ve got there?”

Sayo jumps, bells jangling and tinsel rustling as she knocks into PVC branches. “Nothing.”

Hina breezily plucks the wooden frame from the pile of decorations, turning it over with interest. “Ohh!”

“H-Hina!”

“It’s this picture of us! My favourite one! Look at you, all fluffy and bouncy …”

Hina beams fondly at their fluffy, bouncy younger counterparts and Sayo sighs.

“I was planning to put it on the shelf here, but I suppose that’s not happening now.”

“Eh? Nooo, Onee-chaaan!! It’s happening, it’s totally happening!”

“Then I’ll have it back, please.”

Hina hands it to her with a meek smile. Sayo returns the smile, and when wood touches wood this time it’s with the quiet clunk of a piece falling into place.

Lil Sayo and lil Hina, lil Sayo and lil Hina…

THIS IS GORGEOUS!!!

allllllllrighty, here's that news roundup from beyond the grave. if I forgot anything, it's because my brain isn't working. because I'm dead. yes. that is why.

anyway

so they just casually shadowdropped a GYROAXIA digital single to go with the SOL, featuring EGOIST and GETTING HIGH as well as the voice drama. because of course they did. yknow, I recently thought to myself, "they didn't announce a single, but maybe they'll just drop it the day of", and then didn't say anything cause it felt like wishful thinking, and now I wish I'd said something because I PREDICTED THIS

anyway go listen. songs good. aaaaaaAAAAAAA

Argonavis's S-SOL is in fact a Christmas live (I WAS RLY HOPING IT WOULD BE), and it will be held on 12/26, which is a Saturday! there's a video with quotes again but I'm too lazy to write them out (it's mostly fluff dialogue), but I WILL say there's a "woof" in that. Pon-chan ......... Pon-chan bby ...................

//e: wow I'm an idiot I didn't even mention the title ... it's Fuyubare no Serendipity (Serendipity of a Clear Winter Day).

AAside (the game, not the song) is confirmed for January release uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,,, the app stores currently say 1/31 but idk I wouldn't count on it, that sounds like a placeholder. only the month is confirmed as of right now.

I have no image for this one so look at pets. all of them revealed now. bbies

AAside (the song, not the game) is going to be released on 2/3! it comes with the main Argonavis version, the Argo/Gyro version from CROSSING (HECK YEA), a new as of yet unrevealed song, and a BluRay of the AAside performance with all the vocalists from LR Fes! the lim bonus is a BluRay with every S-SOL!

new Argohan. //shrugs didn't know where else to put it so here it is

look at them. that is all. (these are for the NaviHajime New Year's event)

and a bunch of smaller stuff like the menu for the argnv collab café (I don't trust the epsiphi stuff to not be poisoned), GYROAXIA puppets like the Argonavis ones are now a thing and are very cute, anime rerun, and the fact that Gyro just casually broke the definition of "Sound Only Live" to pieces by not only accompanying a lot of it with MVs from the game, but ALSO re-recording a bunch of instrument parts as live recordings rather than with a studio band ... to the point where MANIFESTO was just flat out a live recording all together, including vocals (not sure if IGNITION or LR Fes cause I didn't see the former hpmh and curse you geoblock, but that final chorus sounded very familiar so I waaaaanna say LR Fes). they just. just kinda did that. I can imagine Argonavis will be similar. or maybe Gyro just wanted to flex idk

okay that's it I'll now go back to being dead and crying over Gyro and bby Hikawas. thank you.

lord have mercy on my stars, they can only take so much.

Just a quick reminder to level up your AREA ITEMS!

You might not know how useful they really are!
