[claps hands] okay let's finally do that argnv news roundup I said I'd do because they unveiled a bunch of stuff at LR Fes, as one would expect!!

first of all, we'll finally get releases of the MV songs for the non-live bands! they'll be sold starting December 9th on a mini album with three different versions, one for each band. the setlist is as follows:

Gin no Yuri / Banzai RIZING! / Hikari no Akuma / the respective band's digital single original (histoire, Joukyou Joutou Ittekimasu, Play with You respectively) / the respective band's lyric MV cover (Yuuwake, HOT LIMIT, ROKI respectively) / the respective band's audio drama from the S-SOL that also comes with the digital singles.

if you buy all three versions together, you'll also get a bonus BD featuring the Destiny Rock festival SOL. I'm not sure if this applies to online shopping; buying Starry Line at CDJapan DID get me the special CD that came with it though, for what it's worth.

no word yet on similar releases for the two live bands, but I could imagine them being bundled together too!

RAISE A SUILEN, Rondo (from D4DJ), and GYROAXIA are all going to be at Bushiroad Rock Festival next February! I hope to god they stream this again because that line-up is a personal attack. not just RAS and Gyro, but also Rondo ... how cruel ...

WEGO collab. yeah I don't really know what else to say about this one, we know how these work from BanDori. seems to be only Ren & Nayuta for now, but this opens the door for a lot more stuff to come!

I wanna buy Nayuta-kun's beret ...

Argonavis and GYROAXIA nesos have been up for preorder since the 10th. AmiAmi has them up, though only as the box set. they'll be out in March of next year, so if you'd like to get them, you have a bunch of time to save. (psst if you're afraid they might be sold out if you preorder too late, AmiAmi only charges you once the items are in stock!)

... yes I've already placed my preorder for both,

and yeah I think that's about everything that's relevant to us over in the west.

lastly, a casual reminder that FuuRai SOL & the release of Joukyou Joutou Ittekimasu are later this month. don't miss them! (・ωｰ)～☆

BANDTOBER // LEADERS

hello everyone! I hope you’re all having a great time either making or reading the bandtober posts— I know I am! since I have horrible stamina, motivation, and attention span, I’ve decided to do bandtober a little differently to fit my tastes. once I finish each member, I’ll make a post with them, and perhaps a few other days or a band story, but not all 30 days. hope you enjoy!

LEADERS: Jo Sawa (ChaMEleon, vo.) and Kibe Nao (Sum1, dr.)

SAWA

• Full Name: Jo Sawa
• Position: vocalist, leader
• Year: Third
• Birthday: January 11 (Capricorn)
• Sawa is the put together, talented, and determined leader of Chameleon. She looks to the future with a drive and motivation that is often difficult to disclose to her members. Sawa started her band to become a competitor to Sum1, enlisting her fellow classmates as help. She seems to have strong negative feelings towards the drummer of the other group, Nao, but refuses to speak about why. However much she can seem strict, she tries to account for her members struggles, as she was not always as skilled as she is now.

NAO

• Full Name: Kibe Nao
• Position: drums, leader
• Year: Third
• Birthday: April 27 (Taurus)
• Nao is known for being a personable, humble, and laid back leader. Her band members respect her greatly, and many speculate that this is a large reason for their incredible cohesion and teamwork onstage. Though she is the only member of her band who doesn’t sing, her drumming skill is unrivaled in the industry. Many labels are attempting to get their hands on a deal with Sum1, but Nao’s reluctance and preoccupation with a familiar face arising in the band scene mix to form a complication for the young group.

Someone tell me how this happened

do you ship aya and sayo or are you normal?

crying uncontrollably over band story 3

i read the translation and holy shit holy fuck i'm so impressed and i'm crying and best girl and himari gets development and tomoe cried and basically spam tissue box pictures in the comments cause i can't take this saddiness

I decided to make a banner of all my idol and idol-like game faves, mostly just because I wanted to draw them all together. Eventually I want to make an actual full piece of all my faves but I have no where near enough time or energy to do that now LMAO

I love,,,, every single one of these girls sm though. They bring me much joy and I give each of them a smol kiss on the cheek

Hi I finally listened to the Mae e Susume solos and my soul has ascended I needed to say something,,, of course I adore Arisa’s version to bits, that goes without saying but Kasumi’s!!! is just another reminder of why she’s one of my fav vocalists. Idk I just think while she sounds raw and shaky that’s exactly why it’s so GOOD, like everyone else’s versions are nice to listen to but Kasumi sings like every breath will be her last and it hurts me and it just feels like that’s how the song is meant to be sung. The original will always be super important story-wise but this feels so right aaa

hello yes i would die for setsuna yuki

This is based on member interaction btw!! as for my music ranking

Popipa > RAS > Pasupare/Afterglow > Monika > Roselia > Harohapi

all bands are valid also, don't forget that ♥

Afterglow Band Story 3 is the best Afterglow Band Story so far

I can't stop crying~~~ I need like 5 boxes of tissues right now I swear T_T

random question! when RAS and Monika get their titles, what do you think they'll say? (they cant have them now because they dont have 15+ untrained cards) i might not have good answers because like i came up with this in seconds okay

RAS, and look I'll call them by their stage names for once!

LAYER, 1: "Let's do this, the way we usually do!"

LAYER, 2: what was it again? uhh "Look at them lil' octopus sausages"? lol i dont remember

LAYER, 3: “I won’t cry.” or “No crying!” (I’m overly proud of myself for this)

LOCK, 1: "Popipa is freakin' amazing!"

LOCK, 2: "...Do you think I'm RAS-like?"------ or something like that i'm at a loss for words

LOCK, 3 god i have nothing dang it

the "HhhhiiiIIIieeeeeiehhh???" thing needs to be one of them tho

MASKING, 1: "You're really cute."

i now realize i havent called her masking in 2 months

MASKING, 2: something about CHU2 being short would be funny-

"Its real obvious how short CHU2 is when we're lined up together." I HAVE NOTHING SJHDFAHJKDJ

oh and i came up with "Think ya can keep up?" yesterday

MASKING, 3: I DONT KNOW HOW TO WORD IT BUT I TRIED “Even if CHU2 won’t leave me alone for doin’ it, RAS is really the only place I’m able to do improv at all.” KDJAKSJAKDJKAKSJDK

PAREO, 1: I don't really have one for her so maybe "Yes, PAREO!" or "CHU2-sama!"

PAREO, 2: something about CHU2 saving her from the darkness idk

PAREO, 3: "This pursuit of cuteness never ends!"

CHU2, 1: "SWEET! EXCELLENT! UNSTOPPABLE!"

CHU2, 2: because i have nothing: "RAS is gonna beat Popipa and Roselia to a pulp!"

yeah

CHU2, 3: "PAREO! JERKY!"

i really would do a list for monika but I know noThInG about them so im sorry my friends ;-;

AHAHAHAHAHAHA WHY DID I HAVE MASUKI HAVE 2 TITLES ABOUT CHU2

i actually just found out that they already have some of their titles and wOW was i off with pareo haha (thanks Mocarenas!)
