i might be dead on banpa ever since school started but that isn't gonna stop me from lovemailing seiyuus from my grave

heY it's dayo if you've forgotten and also if you weren't aware roselia, RAS & popipa held 3 successive lives at budoukan on 21/22/23 feb respectively! for artistes, budoukan is often a really big goal (in fact, afterglow are aiming for it too as brought up in the anime hehe) and the fact that popipa has performed there twice now and roselia + RAS get the chance to do so as well is honestly so amazing,,,

here're some things that i thought would be interesting to share!

→ roselia emerged from coffins and left the stage via the same coffins. actual drama queens.

→ hidamari rhodonite was performed for the first time since yurishii's retirement!

→ it has been a staggering four (4) months since nonchan debuted and she's already performed at an overseas live (AX), been on television (roselia performed brave jewel on NHK on 19 feb) and now at roselia's one-man live budoukan. she's amazing. we stan

→ before RAS's live, there was a surprise opening act by argonavis! who is argonavis? they're part of a separate bandori boyband project

→ RAS also featured amita, mikku and sacchan (aya, kokoron & moca's seiyuus) so effectively all the bands had a chance to perform at budoukan! they also featured mimorin as part of guriguri <3

→ for their encore live and second performance of EXPOSE 'Burn out!!!', recording of the performance was allowed, and uploading it onto social media was even encouraged! this is really surprising given the strict rules prohibiting recording, but i'm so damn grateful for the many pseudo-fancams i've seen! here's a pretty good recording of it if you wanna see it too

→ popipa kickstarted their live with double rainbow and i'm sobbingngdg but okay bias aside their setlist sounds so good like they performed cover songs of kimi janakya dame mitai and only my railgun??? i assure you i will lose my mind when i get to watch them with my own two eyes

→ the popipa intermission videos were apparently long interviews with the girls themselves which i'm also looking forward to watching! the intermission video for 6th live was them as sentai rangers and it was really funny but i'd love to see some Serious poppin'

→ i think it's crucial to mention that it's popipa's second time at budoukan. as the first band and the literal reason why bandori exists today, they have paved the way for the other bands and seiyuus, no matter how little experience they have performing live. i think it's really admirable of them, and i'm proud of how they've been able to shoulder all this pressure. i was really emotional when saechi posted a pic on her ig of them at budoukan 2 years ago writing 'tadaima'' hhh i love them

this post is already a long and rambly mess so i won't insert too many pics (maybe i'll do so in the comments!) but remember to always support the bands - they put in so much work, and they're all so unique and amazing on stage!

to conclude: they are angels. thank you for creating, shaping and elevating bang dream
