About
The vast ocean sings to me. I must go and conquer it!
Our last summer at Seisho Music Academy…
With the 101st Seisho Festival “Starlight” coming up, we the students of the 99th class take up the challenge to perform “El Dorado,” an oceanic epic that Japan is proud of, for our summer performance.
The exiled admiral, Salvatore Guglie. The heir to a royal Spanish family, Alejandro Javier Cavallero Cruz. Who will “we” choose… between the “two protagonists” of this story?
Characters
Karen Aijo – “No matter what waters I have to cross, I will… definitely reach you!” A Stage Girl who traded fates with her childhood friend Hikari to “stand on that stage together someday,” after being entranced by the stage play “Starlight” she watched as a child. She gave her all in performing “Starlight” with Hikari, and now begins to walk towards the “next stage” by herself.
Hikari Kagura – “I don’t need destiny or oaths anymore!” A Stage Girl who has loved stage plays since she was a child, and was led into the world of stage plays after watching “Starlight” with Karen. After performing the “fated stage play” with Karen, she has currently returned to studying at London’s Royal Institute of Dramatic Arts. She is striving towards becoming a stage actress while dreaming of the day she reunites with Karen on the stage.
Maya Tendo – “May my revenge shine beautifully as my fuel.” She is the top student at Seisho Music Academy. A thoroughbred, with both parents being prominent figures in the world of theater. Despite overflowing talent in acting, singing, and dancing, she is a proudly independent Stage Girl who has never become conceited and continues to aim to be the best. Aiming to join the New National First Theater Troupe, she imposes strict lessons on herself even today. Maya-sama continues to be Maya-sama even in her third year.
Junna Hoshimi – “I myself emit glimmering lights… A lighthouse star on the Evening Star!” A Stage Girl who keeps taking on stage plays with her vast amount of reading and solid knowledge, she is the most talented girl since the inception of Seisho Music Academy. She was once desperate to catch up with the frontrunners of the scene, but now aims to be a “dazzling protagonist” and sets her eyes far ahead in her own future. She is the former 99th Student Council President of Seisho Music Academy.
Mahiru Tsuyuzaki – “I will decide my own drama… burning myself like the Sun!” Karen and Hikari’s roommate. She is a cheerful Stage Girl with a vast range of expressiveness, and is looked up to by her juniors, but can get extraordinarily scary when angered. She gave Hikari a push of motivation and sent her on her way to share the fated stage play with Karen. She aims to join the New National First Theater Troupe, in order to become a Star who brings smiles to everyone.
Nana Daiba – “I’ll… go slicing for a bit.” She is Junna’s roommate, and at the same time, a Stage Girl with extraordinary talent in both performing and stage creation. She often has the chance to bake together with Mahiru, and she is affectionately nicknamed “Banana.” She loves everyone who helps to create the stage together, and that is the reason why she sometimes shows a ruthless side.
Claudine Saijo – “Thanks to you and my unjustified resentment!” She is a former child actress who has starred in numerous stage plays and movies from a young age. A pure-hearted and highly experienced Stage Girl who knows the ropes of a stage play. Although she honed her skills against Maya as her greatest rival, she returned to her roots in France after graduation and is slated to join a revue in Paris.
Futaba Isurugi – “I don’t want to see a version of you who’s good-mannered and runs neatly!” Unmatched when it comes to sword fights and action. She is a Stage Girl with great expressive power hidden in her small frame. She and Kaoruko have been stuck together since young. They both enrolled in the same school, and she drives them both to and from school on her motorbike. However, she has decided to walk her own path by accepting the challenge of the New National First Theater Troupe, and has entrusted her beloved bike to Kaoruko.
Kaoruko Hanayagi – “A competitive performance between the top stars of the Senka-ryu School and New National… I’d like such a stage play, someday.” The granddaughter of the head of the family that runs the Senka-ryu School of Japanese Dance. After graduation, she returned to Kyoto. She is a Stage Girl who lives a life of history and traditions, and will succeed the name of the 12th Head of Family, “Suisen Hanayagi.” After a huge quarrel, she accepts Futaba’s chosen path and sends her on her way. She is currently considering what to do with the motorbike that Futaba left behind with her, while grumbling that it is “a bother.”
Kiriko Masai and Shion Amemiya – “We are from the Stage Play Creation Program, in 99th Class Group B!” “In order to create an even stronger, even better Position Zero, become even greedier!” From the 99th Class Group B Stage Play Creation Program. Amemiya writes scripts with all her body and soul, while Masai flutters around controlling the stage. The two are also roommates. They stand at the forefront of Group B, having worked on many of the 99th Class’s stage plays, taking on hardships even while clashing and arguing. Before their final summer in the exchange program, they challenge making a stage play with a certain resolve in their hearts.
Judy Knightley – “If you seek a new universe… tear apart your wailing, and overcome the sea of blood!” A Stage Girl who boasts having top grades at London’s Royal Institute of Dramatic Arts, a school that is renowned for being the hardest in the world to get into. With outstanding acting skills and expressiveness that has been lauded even in the British theater world, she is a professional stage actress with a promising future. She has arrived at Seisho Music Academy for an exchange program, and stands in the way of the students in the 99th Class with her overwhelming brilliance.
[Update: Added the opening movie.]

Holy fucking shit, Bushiroad just fired Rossy Ogawa, the founder of Stardom, and really one of the big reasons why womens wrestling in Japan was so big.
Turns out theres rumors, via SRS, that Rossy was going to start working with the WWE, and he was fired for apparently trying to poach talent.
WWE legitmately tried to steal Rossy for NXT Japan, aswell as multiple joshis, holy fucking shit!

Hello, today we're complaining about Bushiroad's tactics and clear exploitation of the Sapphic community in their rhythm games💘 cause I'm feeling like a hater rn.
For starters, I've always noticed WLW representation is usually non-existent or placed on a side character with 3 seconds of screentime. It's pretty hard to even find appropriate WLW content that isn't sexualized to appeal the male gaze. And when you do find it, it's probably either cancelled midway (the owl house) or it makes you wait 6 years to see a proper display of affection (adventure time). Now this complaint came to me since it's reflected in a lot of female centric rhythm games, especially Bushiroad rhythm games.
First, Bang Dream. Pretty sure the Bandori fandom still remembers Bushi HINTING at every character from it being Sapphic, but were too afraid to confirm or say it clearly. And you know why is that??? Well, most of their income comes from thirsty males who wouldn't want to see their anime 'waifu' not appealing to them or being 'unavailable", that's how the market works bestie!!! So their solution is having extremely vague depictions of WLW while still making sure it's appealing to the male gaze. The main point that messes with WLW rep is misogyny, and how men are constantly trying to twist women into being their own little trophy that appeals ONLY TO THEM and completely ruining how people view Lesbians. To me, Bushi's rhythm games are a prime example of that.
Now let's talk about D4dj. D4 struggles with the same thing as Bandori, but arguably manages it worse. Since D4's characters are mostly adults, their cards are very suggestive, often showing their characters in questionable situations with one another, this is an example of wanting to appeal to the male gaze via the sexualization of Lesbians. And in the game's dialogue they show characters clearly blushing or being flustered around one another and overly exploit what I call "Sapphic bait". Sapphic Bait is showing you two female characters with CLEAR INTEREST IN ONE ANOTHER but never making it canon and just using it for clout. A clear example of this is TsubAoi (Tsubaki is clearly in love with Aoi and they play around with the concept a lot, but it's just that. It's never taken seriously enough, it's just a bait). The main problem with D4 is how they don't commit to the bit unless we're talking HayaCoco, their first Canon couple. They're the only ones who brought back hope of Bushi eventually stopping the Sapphic Bait, though I still think that's impossible to be honest. I really have no idea how their reveal went over in JP, but those two are a step in the right direction. However, there's still a long way to go when it comes to these topics AND ESPECIALLY coming from Bushi.
I know many other franchises do this, but I'm Bandori centred so that's about it. Conclusion of this rant being: Give proper Lesbian representation instead of just baiting your Sapphic audience into thinking they're finally being heard. It's tiring!!!
Edit: I made A HUGE mistake with the D4 card section of this post. I did not mean "sexualized / suggestive" cards, I was referring more to those Sapphic bait cards D4 has. Those with two characters involved in more romantic situations that Bushi usually plays as bait and is never mentioned again yknow!! My bad I wrote this when I was mad and didn't research properly oh my god
#I will not be silenced!!!!!#apparently bushi also owns love live but idk about them so that's that#if you do have income on them don't be afraid to share it!!!#bushiroad#bandori#bang dream#d4dj groovy mix#d4dj#sapphic#wlw#lesbian#the flag colors being on the lesbian tag is so cute lmao#valittleopinions

hello ceru new mutual 😔 🙏 i dont have a masterpost for him he has too much info ill try to summarise in bullet points
this is iris. or iris siribica fayth-mercia if i want to be annoying !!
• ~900 ish years old in canon (old man yaoi but we dont talk abt that)
• hes pretty much the opposite of lilia. no fun allowed 🚫. hes grumpy and snarky and arrogant , but he does care a lot
• complains abt teenagers sometimes but is also the one constantly worrying about them
• wine snob 🍷 do not get him started
• worn down by loss over his long years of life, learning to love and live again :3 and heal ... maybe be vulnerable a little bit but hes working on it
• half fae and half mer ( his entire lineage is some greek tragedy sorry ... )
• surprisingly endearingly awkward when it comes to showing affection. he's practically allergic to receiving though
• ermmm ... and hes good at cooking
💖💝💕💗🙏 thank you for reading my deviantart half demon jalf angel old man oc
OLD MAN YAOI FR-
Ok this is the last card assignment I’ll do!!!! I was awaiting for approval hehe
(All Cards belong to Bushiroad’s cardfight vanguard! Artist credit for each card is at the bottom right of each card respectively)
Iris would use a Genesis deck!
It is a conglomerate established during the period of Invasion Great War, when planet Cray was threatened by the invaders from another world. After Invasion Great War, it became an independent company and has been growing in the business of security and combat.
My reasoning for this is that he seems like a shrewd guy. With age comes experience, and I feel like this deck would suit that. This deck is essentially one of the most adaptable decks in the game, allowing players to manipulate the cards to almost anywhere they want on the board. There is a certain level of foresight that’s needed to bring out the full strength of this deck, and Iris seems like just the guy for the job!
Genesis decks are considered to be "jacks of all trades", such as superior calling cards when they are soul blasted, drawing cards, returning cards to the deck when they are soul blasted, and even granting large power ups to their units. The keyword Revelation granted the clan the ability to look at the top card of the deck, and then decide if they wanted to put that card into their soul, or to leave it at the top of the deck, giving the player complete control.
Some Cards in that deck:
Wild take: I feel like he plays chess, but grudgingly. He’ll only play if someone asks him too, but he enjoys the game so much more than he lets on. Also he wins within a ridiculously short amount of turns😔

[SPOILERS] D4DJ side;nova stories
I know a lot of people didn't like the whole thing about Lumina's secret, but hear me out: it also opens the door for a very creepy yet very interesting theory about her:
After Neo's mother died when she was a child, her dad tried to train her into becoming a singer just as good as her. Eventually, he abandoned Neo after she couldn't reach her dad's impossible standards. Assuming he never gave up with this idea of training someone who could sing just as well or even better than his late wife, imagine if he just... gave up on FINDING someone he could train.
What if he CREATED a girl for this very specific goal.
There are a few things that support this theory:
1) There's a bit in the first side;nova chapter where Neo mentions that Lumina's voice seems "familiar".
2) It is implied that Lumina can't remember who created her. It is also implied that there are things (like blackouts due to electrical storms) that can seemingly affect her memory banks.
3) Lumina has a surprising level of authonomy. Why is this important? Because she may not be just an AI but a ROGUE AI. It is possible that Neo's dad created Lumina, lost control of her, and then decided to monitor her progress from afar, after she turned out to be quite capable on her own. (She did become viral and got a massive ammount of followers in a short period of time after all).
If this theory turns out to be correct, that would mean that Neo's father was indirectly responsable for UniChord, while Michiru's grandpa (Mitsuhashi Sho, former member of LMO and father of Mitsuhashi Ku, Michiru's uncle and the guy who revived D4DJ in Japan after an 8 years hiatus) is directly responsable for Abyssmare, as he was the one who recruited Neo as a child and then became the current manager of the group.
What do you guys think?
[EDIT: KJJJJ I always confuse Haruki Kaibara and Ku, so the last thing is more like a half-ass thought that came up in the middle of the brainstorm. Still, is interesting how both bands have conections with LMO. I can't wait to see how that plays a part in their stories]
