MintiiLi

Wahoo! Today, I'm finally going to be caught up with Bandtober! This is going to be an extremely long post, so feel free to skip this in the feed (although there is a cool announcement at the bottom, so scroll down if you want to see it.)

Day 11: First Show!

(BonTraveler restaurant-- backstage)

Nigira: Waaah~, I’m so nervous!

Oro: Why are you nervous? It’s your own family restaurant! You’ve performed here a thousand times!

Ichika: Oro-senpai~, your hands are shaking!

Oro: Ahaha! I’m not the one whose parents own the restaurant!!

Ichika: And meanwhile, Kona-senpai looks perfectly calm . . .

Kona: Hm-hm-hmmmm♪ Polar bears♪

Oro: KONA!! Stop thinking about polar bears for one second!

Kona: What? Oh! Yeah! Okay. Sorry . . . polar bears are my motivation . . .

Oro: You’re such a dork.

Nigira: Why are you being so quiet, Shiro-chan?

Shiro: M-must-- st-stay-- calm . . .

Nigira: Aww~, Shiro-chan! Everything’s going to . . . be okay . . . waaaaah~!

Ichika: Nigira-senpai, crying isn’t gonna help, is it~?

Nigira: You guys are mean~!

Oro: You sound like Himari.

Nigira: I spend too much time around her . . .

Shiro: Aahh! We’re on!

Kona: Wahoo!

Nigira: Phew . . . deep breaths, let’s go!

(BonTraveler stage)

Nigira: Hello, BonTraveler!

(Silence.)

Nigira: I-I know I’ve messed up in the past . . . and I haven’t done my job properly, but now . . . I have a band!

Nigira: I mean . . . we have a band. And although we disagree . . . a lot . . . and our practices are kinda chaotic, we’re together. And we’ll stay that way. Performing to show that anyone can play music.

Nigira: I present you . . .

BonTekuno: BONTEKUNO!

Oro: Let’s kick things off with S-O-L-O!!

Day 12: Songwriting!

(Ichika’s room)

Kona: Ooo, your place is nice and cozy!

Shiro: Yeah, it’s really cute, in a unique sort of way! W-wait-- unique is a good thing, right?

Ichika: Thanks! Hina-senpai helped me decorate it!

Oro: You really like that PasuPare girl, don’t you . . .

Nigira: So, Ichika, what were your ideas for the new song?

Ichika: Uhhh . . . around here somewhere.

Oro: You lost them?

Ichika: No, but before you guys came over my mom told me to clean my room, and I kinda shoved everything wherever it would fit . . .

Shiro: Ahaha, that’s so like you, Chika-chan . . .

Kona: Well, let’s help you find them, then~. Do you remember where you put them?

Nigira: Yeah! Let’s start with your--

Ichika: Aah! I found them!

Oro: Phew . . . that was quick. Let’s read them, then.

Ichika: So, I was going for some nostalgia here . . . does it make you guys think of when you were little? It’s not a song yet, but it’s some brainstorming.

Kona: Ooo~, I love it! Polar!

Shiro: Wow . . . you really went deep into me and Oro’s backstory, didn’t you . . .?

Oro: Wh-what?! Let me see.

Oro: Oh . . . it’s actually not bad . . .

Nigira: Alright, guys, let’s turn this into a song! I want to kind of tie in the word ‘Nostalgia’ somewhere in the main chorus . . .

Kona: Like techno-stalgia . . . or something--

Ichika: Kona-senpai, that’s genius!

Kona: Eh? Oh!

Oro and Kona: Technostalgia!

Nigira: Yeah, I seriously love that!

Shiro: It works perfectly for our band’s theme!

Oro: Okay, but it’s just one word. Or a fusion of two words . . . we’ve gotta work on the actual song.

Nigira: This melody just kinda popped into my head . . . it’s just a couple notes, though . . . hmm-hmm-hmmmm-hm-hmmmm-hmm~!

Ichika: I really like that! It sounds like the beginning of the song . . .

Oro: Noooo, I was just going to say it works for the pre-chorus.

Nigira: Oh. I thought it sounded like the end of the song.

Shiro: Why do you all fight over everything? Eep . . . I didn’t mean to be harsh . . .

Kona: Let’s just take those notes and see how they work for the rest of the song, okay?

Nigira: Yeah. So we know that the chorus will start with ‘TECHNOSTALGIA!’ But we don’t want it to be like, a shout.

Oro: Yeah, cause we want it to be nostalgic.

Shiro: So . . . kinda sad, but hopeful for the future at the same time?

Ichika: Yeah, something like that. I’m seeing lots of piano. Shiro? You can make piano stuff, right?

Shiro: Sure can!

Kona: Woohoo~, this song is coming along nicely!

Oro: Kya!! Kona, we haven’t even written any lyrics!

Day 14: Album Cover

Since I was planning on having all of the members on the album cover, I couldn't draw it in one day, so here's the description! (Sorry, no artwork today.)

There are glowing spheres all over a gray background, floating in the air, and the BonTekuno members are grabbing them, trying not to fall off. It sounds really weird, but it would probably make more sense if I drew it. (Maybe I'll do a sketch tomorrow?)

Day 15: Rivals

Time for the announcement!! I've been working on very basic ideas for a new band based off of the character I made in that one mix-traits-and-make-a-Bandori-girl post someone made (I can't remember who ack--)! I haven't decided on a name yet, but it's themed off of my love of creating dessert gijinka characters! (Here are a few examples of them.) Their outfits are dessert-based, and their music is kind of a mix between PasuPare and PoPiPa, with some Morfonica elements! Anyway, BonTekuno and them are rivals! Haven't figured out why yet, just that they are.

Alright, that's it for now! Sorry for plopping this gigantic post on the feed . . . see y'all tomorrow!

Is anybody interested in me doing a series of videos of playing without music? The idea is you could listen to the beat patterns if you're having trouble with a section of a song. Or I could do videos with very low music if that would be more helpful... or both!

If I can work out a setup I might be able to record my hands to help thumb players with finger placement, too. Give this a like if you want me to do this or comment your opinions below. :)

Does anyone know how many days until the Pastel Palettes Halloween rerun? I'm really anxious and I know I should be hoping it comes later so I can be prepared but I'm actually hoping it comes earlier because the cards are just so PRETTY

I just love this set okay? That's all I have to say about that.

Once again, I love astronomy way too much.

Day 29: Character(s) You Relate to

This might be a little long.

Moca - I feel like I have her kind of role in my friend group. I'm just that one weird and kinda energetic friend. I also love manga, I love bread, and I wear hoodies a lot.

Misaki - Even though I have those traits of Moca, I'm also sometimes- I don't really know how to describe it- just Misaki-like I guess. I also wear her style of clothes, except masculine versions of her clothes, except I feel like the clothes I wear aren't really gendered necessarily. I literally just wear hoodies, t-shirts, and sweatpants.

PAREO, surprisingly - I don't relate much with her, but I do relate to the fact that I have to hide certain sides of me a lot (in PAREO's case, this would be hiding her "PAREO" side during school) because they won't be accepted by some people. This includes my soft side, since there's a standard that males aren't supposed to show emotions (I personally find that standard really stupid), my just not-so-masculine side in general, and the obvious one, my gayness (although, I'm getting more comfortable with expressing that part of me).

Quick update regarding art trades:

Nikorinnie, just to let you know that I'll be finishing your request by the end of this weekend hopefully. Please look forward to it! ^^

After that I'll do CHU2 and then I'll do Kokoro, so ChomamaLi and Eugeo don't worry I haven't forgot about you.

Thank you so much to the 3 of you for your requests, seriously it has been so helpfull, and for your patience!
