ngl, i think RAISE A SUILEN really has taken over the spot of "favorite band" for me. watching many DRIVE US CRAZY recorded videos from today's live THE CREATION made me consider that more seriously

i already dubbed them as my "favorite performing band"...but i think my total obsession has leaked through and they completely claimed the "fave band. period." spot

i thought it might take a while longer. the other bands have established characters with many events and stories in general behind them (and i literally love the entire cast and how in-depth they go with things), and the RAS charas dont have that, yet...

the irl band just has given me so much darn joy, which translated into me loving their characters (and the love the seiyuu have for their characters!) into me just. adoring them so much already as a whole package.

so it inevitably became a combination of them being performers that blow me away, and this band being something that slipped into a period of time in my life where positive changes happened after years of misery, so my feelings come to associate RAS with that. it only intensified when i first saw them at charaexpo this year.

i just love them so damn much
