I’m spontaneously posting this bc I suddenly got hit with feelings for this girl so yes I love Touko Kirigaya and maybe I’m also posting this bc she’s the least popular girl on this site (which of course is bound to change after Morfonica comes to EN . . . hopefully) and I wanna yell about her. I too had her as my least favourite in her band at first but I’ve seen the light

Okay so here’s the deal Touko may look like Lisa 2.0 but she is such a child. She’s careless and irresponsible and doesn’t take things seriously, wanting nothing more than to enjoy herself and keep up with trends for social media likes, and people love her! She’s so cute and charismatic that people flock to her and let her get away with things

[Etude of Flight spoilers?]

But then she joins Morfonica. And Morfonica’s whole Thing is change. Touko gets slapped in the face with the reality that she’s not good enough to get a solo, ie the part that would make her look the coolest on stage, and bc she is proud and stubborn she goes “Screw you I AM good enough” and works her butt off just to prove she is. In doing so she realises how much effort it takes to earn the spotlight she’s used to having outside of music and the fact that she’s willing to double down and take this seriously for once. This new serious Touko is someone she wants to be. She’s still childish, still tardy, still complains at having to practise without seeing immediate results, but she’s found something meaningful to strive towards and if her motivation is to look cool then I say more power to her!
