Fam, It's time...the Happy Party Train has reach the entrance to the "Hellish streak of Birthdays" tunel so get ready because we are going in for a real rollercoaster, here we goo~
Our first Honoree is a lady whose "journey" until she arrive to bandori always touch me right in the feels and have give us one of the most wholesome and tearful moments in any live of the franchise, proudly on par with Yurishii's graduation in my personal rank at least.
But let's not focus only on the emotional part, because our guest have a lot of many other faces that she has showed us along this journey. For example her outworldy sense of rythm, which she proved multipe times with games and that earn her the nickname of "Banchou" (Lit. meaning "leader" even if its use in a delincuent students group context), her levels of dorkiness when she start to fool around with the rest of her bandmates or other castmembers are adorable and know how to crack a laugh out of you, and of course, her amazing technique playing the guitar.
She is a lady who has given her character more than just her voice and "sound", literally some parts of her life have been transferred and adapted resulting in a more personal characterization from which the love she feels for her character is distilled. And that's something you don't see too often in an anime or manga.
And today, this very special lady is celebrating, and i invite all of you to join in with me, let's raise our glasses and wish the best to our bunny lovin adept, the lady who gives a lot from herself to the air headed and talented guitarist of PoPiPa!
Very happy birthday Saechi!! Let's hope you can giving us more years of unforgettable characters
