Kaoru.

Nothing here is up to date, and it probably won't ever be.

Formerly known as Hime from OTK or Savoki a few other places.

I suck at Bandori and that's okay! (and I moved devices to a Samsung so it likes to lag even more yikes)

legitimate question: is there a reason that my posts seem to get bumped and trend again around a year after they were first posted? or is that just a coincidence? bc it’s happened multiple times now and it’s weirding me out

okay we gOT A STEAMPUNK SET?!?!?! I'M ACTUALLY REALLY GLAD TO SEE PASUPARE BEING STEAMPUNK QUEENS!!

Image

you can't NOT appreciate the aesthetic in chisato's card especially!! it's kind of unexpected to see this kind of thing from pasupare when you'd expect it to go to roselia or even harohapi (given how many different different yet cool things we see from them) and i am NOT disappointed

thank you pastel queens

edit: why is this coming back just because it's on en now

One of my favorite things about Bandori is how it very subtly delivers the unexpected and shifts our perspectives in a meaningful way.

For example, Pastel*Palettes appears to be the most superficial group, as they're managed by an agency and have contracts. They don't write their own music or lyrics, nor do they make their own costumes. We know that none of the girls wrote the lyrics to Mou Ichido Luminous. But when you read the band story, the song hits a lot harder, because we are shown that despite their careers being created entirely by the agency, the bond the band shares is more authentic than an outsider could ever imagine. It reminds us that even if an idol group or band operates under an agency and performs content composed by someone else, they're real people and there's so much more going on backstage. Things we as fans and onlookers will never get to see. And that's what makes it so special to them. It's a part of their group's unity that only they know.

This directly contrasts with Roselia. They write their own songs and compose their own music. Their songs, however, usually portray the views primarily of one member. Hidamari Rhodonite is Yukina's feelings about her relationship with Lisa. Kiseki is primarily Rinko's thoughts and feelings. Opera of the wasteland is Ako's (and, not at all surprisingly, shows some lyrical similarity to Kiseki). Determination Symphony is Sayo's. ONENESS is without a doubt something Lisa brought about. Their lyrics and music contain raw passion. They all describe a sensation of their bodies moving by themselves when they play together. It's like magic. A sound only they can create.

And yet, their bond is the weakest out of the bands circa band story 2. They all have wildly different ideas of what the band means to them and what role music plays in their lives. They want to go different directions. They disagree on a lot of things. Many times, they feel a bit shy to offer up ideas, feelings or concerns for fear they'd just disturb the peace unnecessarily. I don't just mean Lisa, Ako and Rinko. Even Yukina and Sayo are super awkward with it, it's just in a different way than we see the other three. For a group whose tagline is about devotion to Roselia, they lack unity. Since then, it seems we've seen active attempts to improve this. The theme park event especially shows how Yukina realizes the importance of unity within the band since a few rough patches in the road really shook them up previously. But if I hadn't known any better, I'd think a band like Roselia would be able to read each other's minds, pretty much, just based on their music and their lyrics.

I don't know if anyone thought about this, but I have a lot more to say on the subject, as well as things to add on about the other three bands (Popipa especially) but I wanted to share what I was thinking. If anyone has something to add, please drop a comment 👀

What can't you go without in the morning?

Aya: "Hmm...maybe my favorite lip gloss?"

Yukina: "Coffee, black." (translation: coffee, with 3 cups of sugar)

Tae: "Photoshopping pictures of Kasumi's hair to look like bunny ears. It's a new hobby."

Kanon: "Getting lost...fueee..."

Misaki: "An identity crisis and three instances of narrowly-avoided fatal heart attacks."

Hina: "Waking up the whole neighborhood. I've tried but my routine is just too boppin'!"

Saaya: "I can't go without toast and a cup of tea! Sometimes the tea comes through my DMs but either way is fine."

Hagumi: "Love for my friends!"

Lisa: "Fear of rejection."

Tomoe: "I can't start my day without punching a Nazi or two!"

Tsugumi: "A pile of paperwork stacked on my desk, and my status as not a hard worker but also a doormat slowly eating away at me...oh, and coffee."

Kasumi: "I haven't gone a single morning without a swift kick in the gut from Arisa this semester! :D"

Sayo: "My pride crumbling slowly"

Himari: "Five packs of tissues that will be gone by noon."

Chisato: "Making fun of people behind their backs."

Kaoru: "Alas! I have tried, but it seems I cannot survive the morning without watching over the delighted faces of my dear little kittens...how fleeting...!" (translation: I will die if I don't get attention from other gays)

Moca: "Stealing bread and pretending I'm Jean Valjean"

Eve: "I can't remember a time I didn't start my morning with a grueling 3-hour Navy SEAL training session! Bushidoooo!"

Rinko: "...social...anxiety..."

Kokoro: "I can smile through anything, so there's nothing I can't go without!" (translation: I'm loaded and I go without brain cells every day anyways)

Arisa: "Resisting the urge to smash my face against a brick wall."

Ran: "Daddy issues."

Maya: "A healthy breakfast while reading five car manuals in succession, I suppose."

Rimi: "Choco cornets and self-doubt."

Ako: "Being cool." (translation: being babey)

I can't be the only one who's not thrilled about Morfonica. I mean, I don't dislike them, don't get me wrong. They have a cool concept and honestly their songs seem like they're right up my alley as far as genre and styling goes.

But everyone else seems to be losing their darn minds over the girls and I can't feel anything more than "Oh. Cool, I guess." I feel bad for feeling that way, especially considering how ecstatic I was when LL! announced PDP back before they became NijiGaku.

Idk, maybe it's because I'm overloaded with content of all my solidified faves lately? We got that gorgeous Saaya 4* (and Moca ofc, but...Saaya!!!). In SIFAS we got gorgeous cards of Mari, Ai, Kanan and Honoka recently. In SIF we got an adorable set from muse and a gorgeous set from Aqours (with a Mari UR!). Starlight has given us gorgeous Misora, Michiru and Junna too. And all this official art from Bandori and LoveLive has kept me fed, so it might just be that I'm not as hungry for more as many of you are? I'm sure they'll grow on me soon...

i used to post things like a year ago but since then i've become Lurker of the Year but even more reason to introduce myself? i wanna be like the cool kids

an introduction?

  • my name is madison, but my online name changes like every second. meanwhile, my profile pictures change once a decade if at all.
  • i am 18 but i look about 12. the only place i DON'T get asked for ID is a school. i went to drop off something for my sister that she forgot and they didn't ID me because they thought i was a student. kill me
  • i've been into lovelive since 2013 and it's a huge part of who i've become, which sounds silly, and it kind of is, but at some point i realized i'm already a walking embarrassment so that was the least of my problems.
  • playing bandori since en release day. I didn't expect to love it as much as i do. i kinda suck at it but that's okay. i moved out and now i have to use a cheap device that i own, so i can't really fc some hard songs even. lagdori is real. i miss fc'ing ex songs.
  • best girls are kaoru, hina and maya. not a huge fan of sayo. sometimes himari gets on my nerves for some reason but she's a good girl. i am also a very fervent member of the hagumi/rimi/ako/tsugumi appreciation club because they deserve better thank you.
  • usually i'm not a fan of kaoru-type characters, but i fell for this idiot immediately. she's a moron and i love her. she makes me cringe and scream and wonder how someone could be so stupid but she's so endearing that all the cringe becomes a plus.
  • i cosplay all the lovelive girls link in my profile. haven't really been active but my hina wig is coming soon 👀
  • i'm a big academics nerd, with a love for math, history, geography, current events, economics, psych/soc, linguistics, music theory, chemistry and it's a problem. i keep sending my friends math memes and they don't think they're funny and i die a little inside.
  • people compare my interests to those of a grandparent. like, i pay attention to the stock market and i play mahjong and i do crosswords and sudoku in the morning with tea and i love classical music. oh also i make terrible puns.
  • i'm an entp 1w9
  • in contrast to classical music and anisongs i enjoy kpoop (ha ha poop el em ay oh). my ult group is wjsn, and my ult bias is kwon eunbi from iz*one. i also love keyakizaka46 and all their political/societal statements in their music thank you and happy belated 18th techi! i also love mandopop
  • i speak japanese and a bit of mandarin in addition to english, as well as basics in many other languages (mostly germanic)
  • that's all i will now close my mouth

OH YEAH GOOD LUCK TO WHOEVER IS ALSO TRYING TO TIER THE EN EVENT!!! let's do this y'all!

i forgot to post my screenshot here (i screamed about it multiple other places) but i have been blessed and i'm actually still shook. this happened on day 1 of the cursed well event (which i barely missed t2.5k but it's fine i was sleepy and busy) by the way.

once wasn't enough. our actress needed an encore.

and it killed me instantly, and everyone clapped, and obama was there, and my grandma gave me flowers
