So looking on your website it seems like Ikuhara is the male voice for Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku, is that correct or am i reading your credits wrong?

Nope, you're reading that right! Ikuhara does indeed provide vocals for not only ZUM, but other chorus tracks from the series! There are complete scans of the OSTs in my Utena tunes history website, Audiology of Utena. To give you a breakdown of coolness:

The Student Council Saga's duels credit Suginami Jidou Gasshoudan (a junior choir), Maki Kamiya (who solos the Virtual Star Embryology ED), Kunihiko Ikuhara, and Shinkichi Mitsumune (the BGM composer) as the chorus for these recordings.

The Black Rose Saga's OST 2 is where it gets real wild! Not only are Ikuhara and Mitsumune credited on all the duel chorus tracks, Shingo Kaneko and Toshimichi Otsuki are credited on some: Utopian Past Tense Incantation (Kozue's), Conic Absolute Egg Archibras (Tsuwabuki's), Transparent Period of Adolescence (Keiko's), and Magic Lantern Butterfly Moth 16th Century (Wakaba's.) Kaneko is a storyboard artist and episode director, and Otsuki is a producer. Lol. This absolute party of nerds is also credited for the performance of the two songs from the Sega Saturn video game on OST 3, Herzen's Head and The Inversion of Me and My Room, and they are also the credited group for the Black Rose Saga's version of ZUM.

OST 3 covers the Akio Arc, where the auditory soundscape of the duel choruses shifts away from compositions of J.A. Seazer's work by Shinkichi Mitsumune, and those tracks are instead composed and recorded by Seazer with his own 'Theater Laboratory - Universal Gravitation.' No one else is credited in the chorus for those songs.

tl;dr: Ikuhara, as well as Shinkichi Mitsumune, are in the first two versions of ZUM, as well as the duel choruses for the first and second arc. They are occasionally joined in the second arc by other definite Not Singers from the production team. The Akio Arc and on however are recorded by Seazer with his musical theater group, and don't appear to include Ikuhara and co.

Infiltrating the filming location of Yu Yu Hakusho Cast

Special photos of the cast taken by Maciej Kucia (AVGVST) will be released on December 14.

The main cast of the live-action will be on the special edition cover of the famous anan magazine. There's going to be a 16-page special feature about the live action, including exclusive photos and interviews with the cast and staff.

In solo interviews and roundtable discussions with the four main cast members, they were asked about their thoughts and feelings when they were chosen to appear in the series, behind-the-scenes stories of shooting, and their thoughts to take on the challenge of a work that has been loved for many years.

In addition to the four guys, anan also interviewed Go Ayano and Kenichi Takito, who play the Toguro Brothers, the biggest enemies who have many fans from the original work. They talk about the difficulties and joys of playing characters that required highly difficult acting as they filmed using CG.

In an interview with director Sho Tsukikawa , he was asked about his thoughts on producing "Yu Yu Hakusho" in this era.

Here's a sneak peek of the guys during the magazine cover shot.

youtube

It's so cute when they all start chanting: "Yu Yu Hakusho". At the end, Kanata Hongo says Hiei's famous line: do not underestimate the power of the evil eye.

Edit: Netflix Japan released special photos of the actors:

Yusuke Vs Younger Toguro Mural Showdown

"The showdown between Yusuke and Younger Toguro will break out in Shibuya!? Witness the spirit gun!"

I am curious to see that. From what we've seen from the trailer, Yusuke VS Toguro will be an epic confrontation!

Edit: The mural is at the Shibuya Crossing. They used blue lights to simulate Yusuke's spirit gun, and on the other side there's Toguro taking it!

Something else will happen in Shibuya?

Something will happen on the day of the live action premier...?

I am super curious. From this image, we can understand that all the ad-trucks that departed from Sapporo, Nagoya, Osaka and Hakata will be arriving in Shibuya on the 14th, but what will happen? Some kind of big announcement? 😱

Edit: It was just a big promo at the Shibuya Crossing!

The musician Ryuichi Sakamoto, who has died aged 71 of cancer, spent his life as a restless traveller, both personally and musically. “I was born in Japan but I don’t think I’m Japanese,” he said in 1988, two years before he moved to New York. “To be a stranger – I like that attitude. I don’t like nationalities and borders.”

A founder member of Tokyo’s pioneering computer-pop trio Yellow Magic Orchestra, whose work between 1978 and 1984 has proved a lasting influence on hip-hop and electronica, Sakamoto was able to combine his skills as an academically trained musician with an aptitude for electronic music and an ear for countless musical styles. He sustained a lengthy partnership with the British musician David Sylvian after first working with his band Japan on the track Taking Islands in Africa from the album Gentlemen Take Polaroids (1980), following which the duo collaborated on the double A-side Bamboo Houses/Bamboo Music (1982).

In 1983, Sakamoto achieved a peak of commercial visibility by not only writing the soundtrack for Nagisa Oshima’s film Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, but also co-starring in it (as Captain Yonoi) with David Bowie. The soundtrack, which won him a Bafta for best film music, contained the Sakamoto/Sylvian composition Forbidden Colours, a vocal version of the film’s main theme, which was a Top 20 hit in Britain.

Soundtrack work became one of the main planks of Sakamoto’s career. He won an Academy Award (along with his fellow composers David Byrne and Cong Su) for his soundtrack to Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor (1987), in which he also had an acting role, and worked with the director again on The Sheltering Sky (1990) and Little Buddha (1993).

Sakamoto scored the 1990 film version of The Handmaid’s Tale, Pedro Almodóvar’s Tacones Lejanos (High Heels, 1991), and Brian De Palma’s Snake Eyes (1998) and Femme Fatale (2002). Oliver Stone hired him for the soundtrack to his TV series Wild Palms (1993). Alejandro González Iñárritu used some existing Sakamoto recordings in his 2006 film Babel, then recruited him to write the score for his multiple Oscar-winner The Revenant (2015). For the opening of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics he provided El Mar Mediterrani.

Sakamoto released solo albums regularly between 1978 and 2017, many of them reaching the Top 30 in Japan but not registering on charts elsewhere, as well as six live albums and a string of compilations. However, Sakamoto’s subtle, exploratory music earned him a charismatic reputation that drew international guest stars to his projects.

On B-2 Unit (1980), he collaborated closely with Andy Partridge from XTC, and the electrofunk track Riot in Lagos proved inspirational for the likes of Mantronix and Afrikaa Bambaataa. Thomas Dolby featured on the pulsating Field Work from Illustrated Musical Encyclopedia (1986), the track accompanied by an ingeniously conceived video, while for Neo Geo (1987) Sakamoto enlisted Iggy Pop, Bill Laswell, Bootsy Collins and Sly Dunbar.

Brian Wilson and Robbie Robertson appeared on Beauty (1989), an album that spanned rock, technopop, flamenco and classical Japanese music. Heartbeat (1991), on which Sakamoto tried rap, funk and jazz, and lyrics in French, Japanese and Russian, numbered Youssou N’Dour, Arto Lindsay, Bill Frisell, Sylvian and John Cage among its contributors. In 1993, Sakamoto co-produced Aztec Camera’s album Dreamland.

Born in Tokyo, Ryuichi was the only child of Keiko (nee Shimomura), a hat designer, and Kazuki Sakomoto, a literary editor. While attending the same progressive primary school that once taught Yoko Ono, he was already writing music for the piano with their encouragement.

The American presence in postwar Japan introduced new western influences to the country, and Sakamoto was enraptured by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. He attended Tokyo’s University of the Arts to study music composition, and felt a strong affinity for the compositions of Claude Debussy, in which he discerned an Asian influence. However, in addition he soaked up the work of contemporary composers such as Cage, Pierre Boulez, Györgi Ligeti and Stockhausen, as well as jazz musicians including John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman.

His early compositions were in an avant-garde vein, while he also performed with free jazz bands and played keyboards with the folk singer Masato Tomobe. He graduated with BA and MA degrees, having studied classical and assorted world and ethnic music, and taken his first steps in electronic music by working with Moog and ARP synthesizers.

He formed Yellow Magic Orchestra in 1978 with Haruomi “Harry” Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi, whom he had met when they worked together as session musicians. Combining electropop with stylish graphics and costume design, the trio brought wit and warmth to the use of electronics, which contrasted with the studied alienation of European counterparts such as Kraftwerk or Gary Numan.

YMO released eight studio albums during their original lifespan, all of them climbing high in the Japanese charts, and three of them reaching No 1. The group inspired Beatlemania-like hysteria in their homeland. “We were very big, that’s why I hated it,” Sakamoto said. “We were always followed by paparazzi.”

YMO’s albums made little chart impact outside Japan, but their influence was nonetheless widely felt, not least in their innovative use of electronic sequencers, drum machines and sampling. Firecracker, from their 1978 debut album, was itself sampled in Afrika Bambaataa’s Death Mix. In 1980 they had a Top 20 hit in the UK with Computer Game (Theme from the Invaders), which chimed with the craze for the Space Invaders game. Behind the Mask, first conceived for a Seiko wristwatch commercial and then included on their album Solid State Survivor (1979), became a Top 20 UK hit for Eric Clapton; a version by Michael Jackson appeared on the posthumous album Michael (2010).

YMO paused their activities in 1984, though the trio continued to collaborate on each other’s solo work, and they reformed to make the album Technodon (1993). They subsequently reunited several times for recording and live performances, their last shows being for the No Nukes 2012 festival in Chiba, Japan, and the 2012 World Happiness festival in Tokyo.

In his teens in the late 1960s, Sakamoto had been a hippy with leftwing political beliefs – “not 100% Marxist, but kind of” – but he gradually became disillusioned with the failure of political movements to effect significant change. He decided that his music was not the place for social or political messages, observing that “I’ve changed from an avant-garde person to a pop person,” though he would subsequently support causes he felt strongly about.

He campaigned for changes to music copyright law, which he considered outmoded in the internet era, and founded Commmons, a collaborative platform to assist aspiring musicians. He formed a group of musicians called NML (No More Landmines), which featured Brian Eno, Sylvian, Kraftwerk and the other members of YMO, and in 2001 they released the single Zero Landmine.

In 2006 he launched the Stop Rokkasho movement by releasing the track Rokkasho (by a group of musicians dubbed Team 6), in protest at the building of Japan’s Rokkasho nuclear fuel reprocessing plant, and he campaigned to have the Hamaoka nuclear plant shut down to avoid a repeat of the 2011 tsunami disaster at the Fukushima facility. He and Byrne teamed up to record the single Psychedelic Afternoon to aid tsunami survivors.

His solo work continued to explore a huge variety of styles. In 1982 he had ventured into medieval and Renaissance music on the album The End of Asia, a collaboration with the Japanese early music group Danceries. Smoochy (1995) was a detour into easy listening, while Discord (1998) comprised an hour-long orchestral composition.

The album 1996 was a selection of Sakamoto pieces arranged for piano trio featuring the Brazilian cellist Jaques Morelenbaum, and Sakomoto reunited with him and his wife, Paula, a singer, for two albums in celebration of the bossa nova composer Antônio Carlos Jobim, Casa (2001) and A Day in New York (2003). In 1999, his multimedia opera, Life, was performed in Tokyo and Osaka.

Meanwhile, he struck up a fruitful collaboration with Alva Noto (a pseudonym of Carston Nicolai), which resulted in a string of electronica albums including Vrioon (2002) and Insen (2005), culminating in Glass (2018). With the Austrian guitarist and composer Christian Fennesz he recorded Sala Santa Cecilia (2005), Cendre (2007) and Flumina (2011).

In 2014 he was diagnosed with throat cancer, but by the following year was feeling “much much better”. His recovery from illness inspired the creation of his last solo album, Async, hailed as one of 2017’s finest forays into experimental electronica. Its making was documented by Stephen Nomura Schible in the film Coda (2018).

His final album, 12, was recorded during hospital stays in 2021 and 2022, and released in January. In December, he livestreamed a solo piano concert from Tokyo.

Sakamoto was first married to Natsuko, then to the musician Akiko Yano; both marriages ended in divorce. He is survived by his third wife and manager, Norika Sora, and their two children; and a daughter from his first marriage and another daughter from his second.

Rinon is open with being annoyed bout the amount of lines she would get, that's nice

poor Rinon tbh

i'm scared i won't listen the Bijin performance, c'mon Chanmina, let them play it!!!

nice the Chanmina to tell Rinon to be more herself or a chara that fits her more, no need to rap as she isn't comfortable

KEIKO'S THE ONE WHO WENT ROGUE IN THIS VERSION?! 😲 I WAS SO SURE IT WAS GONNA BE JACK!

🥺 And you really feel for her, she did it with the best of intentions and all this optimistic confidence and pure love for her friends. She wasn't doubting in anyone's abilities or trying to show off, she just wanted to believe with all her heart that whatever happened, everything would be okay as long as she gave it her all. Her motivations were so earnest and altruistic that all I feel is sympathy here. But it was risky so I can't fault Master Fung for taking umbrage. But her reasons were just so sweet and magical that I can't be mad at her! Especially since I don't think Keiko's going to turn around and just deliberately spite everyone at the temple out of anger for it not working. But I guess I'll have to wait and see…

The kids all stood up for each other too! I think they're going to comfort Keiko properly! I was already invested in his trio of monks, but this episode definitely makes me buy into their friendship! They're a found family and a support system and they're doing their best and I care them!!!! 🤧

Chase Young was cool and mysterious and awesome… but that was so close!! He was off doing his own thing… but he kinda always is, so that's surprisingly not surprising. Between the way Chase handled the situation and the students and the way Master Fung did, I deffo lean towards Chase, but both approaches had their flaws! Chase has gotten too used to to challengers that stand their ground from growing up with Guan and recently meeting Omi, he thought Jermaine was cut from their cloth! But Jermaine's just looking out for his friends! Ah, what good eggs all round! But! All's well that ends well! Another good episode! Play that outro theme~

I ALMOST FORGOT TO MENTION HOW AWESOME THE BONUS IS

CHASE YOUNG STEALING HEARTS AS USUAL

I was also so sure it was going to be Jack until I started writing this episode and Keiko just fell into place 😭. It worked so perfectly for her character and the growth she needed to do but at the same time you have to feel a little bad for her! So far she has been facing this whole being a Xiaolin Monk like her magic-girl shows so she needed a bit of a wake up call…still, it was a bit of a harsh one…

I am genuinely surprised at just how much these three have grown on me. This AU was meant to be about Chase and Omi (which, it still definitely is, especially the next Arc) but Jack, Jermaine, and Keiko have really found a place in my heart that has made me actually want to explore their relationships with each other!

Chase is mostly just bad at communication (which Fung definitely called him out on 🤣) so the whole event probably could have gone a lot smoother is Chase actually ever acknowledged that he wasn’t a solo player in all of this…

I’m glad you enjoyed it!! I’m having a lot of fun with this AU!!

80s Shredder Retirement AU Recap:

- To partially fulfill his initial dreams of being an writer, Saki works as an editor in a scientific journal for villains.

- He actually doesn't really need a job - he's rich because he gets royalties whenever they use the Shredder character in movies or comics. He works out of boredom.

- He has a kid with this AU's version of Kitsune named "Mitsune Keiko." (See post here)

- Things are rocky between him and Kitsune - they live separately but won't get a divorce because they still love each other deep down.

- Him and Krang are "officially divorced" after an incident happens where Saki was sent back to earth from Dimension X and Krang wasn't. Saki wonders how he's doing every once in a while and hopes he's doing well, but for the most part is glad to be rid of him.

- Saki and Karai (7 years old in this AU) live in Palm Springs and own a pet lizard and snake. - Saki openly and vehemently resents children - except for Karai who he dotes on and spoils often. - Karai is still evil and considering her mix of genetics, will probably go to Juvie at least once before the 5th grade.

- Along with Saki, the main cast of the 80s show eventually move on to focus on independent careers (and I have a separate working story for each of them but we’ll get to that later ;) ) The Turtles move out to pursue their own different passions, April becomes an undercover investigative reporter, and Splinter becomes a detective for hire. Bebop does dance and Rocksteady works as an attorney.

- Saki retired from being the Shredder for a mix of many reasons (Karai's birth, Krang's absence, his relationship with Kitsune, the Turtles growing up and going solo, etc.) but mostly because he realizes that the world is outgrowing him and that he can't keep the gig up forever when his life is changing too.

Sono Saki He Review

To commemorate finally having the finances to buy this album(even if it's just one type), I will do a review(with 0 musical knowledge).

Butterfly Dream. 8/10 At first I wasn't sold. But after a few listens it grew on me. I like the nice happy sound and it has a fantasy theme. I'm a sucker for fantasy themes.

Napa Rui. 10/10 I like the Celtic vibe. This is my fave in this album. I hope I get to watch this live one day.

Shirushi. 9/10 Nice and calm ballad. I can see myself listening to this when I want to chill. I like how Wakana's voice is so gentle here.

Kibo 8/10 I like this, the melody is good. But I'm still unsure whether I like how the high notes were done. But overall it's a great song. It's one of my favs in this album.

kara. 9/10 I never knew that this song would fit a game MV. But even without a tie-in, I still like to listen to it. I just have a little issue with a few parts that need more force and power. Also, I wonder if it's a conscious decision to do the last "SHO-wo" that way.

Sono Saki he - interlude 8/10 nice instrumental break.

Kemono. 7/10 I wasn't sold at first. I put off listening to it because I was so turned off by the start. There is a feeling of disharmony with how Wakana sang at the start and the instrumental. But after listening to it fully, I eventually liked it. The Vocaloid style was new and interesting.

Asu wo Yume Mite Utau 10/10 I just love ballads. Wakana's voice is so nice here.

Flag 10/10 I love it at first listen. I love the fantasy feel and the emotions in the delivery. Also, I love the contrast between the gentle parts and the powerful parts. I hope Wakana would have more tie-ins with games. I think this was the first time I heard her sing in such a strong and fast way in her entire solo career. I want more songs like this.

sono saki he 7/10 Nice song but compared to the rest, this was underwhelming.

Ato Hitotsu 8/10 Nice ballad. But nothing stands out for me.

Overall. A solid album. I like most if not all of the songs and I love that there are more songs with a fantasy feel. I hope Wakana would go more in that direction. Wakana is suited for fantasy-themed songs. Her voice has this ethereal feel, add a nice fantasy image and it would be perfect.

That said, I can see that Wakana is still figuring out where she wants to go with her singing. She still has a few things to improve on. Like to develop a stronger voice for a few parts. There are times when I wish she used a fuller voice in a part of a song. But compared to the start of her solo career she has improved a lot. I hope she continues to work with a vocal coach.

I don't know the status of Wakana's career if she's producing good return on investment. But I am glad that her music and stuff are still of good quality and that she's still getting wonderful songs and opportunities. I hope she gets more tie-ins with games. The game industry is a good industry, it's still growing and has a wide range of audiences. I wish all the best for Wakana's career.

I'm still here...

I'm still here, waiting for Spacecraft to figure things out to get Kalafina a reunion concert. Even if Yuki Kajiura is not ready to produce for Kalafina, the agency can still approach Keiko and Hikaru.

A concert is enough for me... Kalafina has so many beautiful songs. It'd be a waste if no one would sing them live.

#kalafina #wakana #wakana ootaki #sono saki e #going back to my cave now #will check again in a month

Lillian's Thoughts on Akihabara Division

Keiko Yumi

"Keiko Yumi, also known as 'Mangaka'. Subject is a Chuohku official, serving under Nemu Aohitsugi, the Vice Chief of the Administrative Inspection Bureau. Subject joined us two years ago at the best of Nemu-san, herself. Despite subject's young age and proof of her sincerity, she has faithfully carried out all assignments and orders given to her, and has proved herself to be a loyal servant of Chuohku.

"As stated, subject joined Chuohku two years ago, after discovering her mother's profession as an adult star. Since then, subject has cut off her ties with her parental figure, and now lives on her in school, working to become a nurse. Personal opinion states that I can understand very much how it feels to not have a good mother figure.

"Subject's involvement in the D.R.B. seems to do with the fact that her mother is also a part of it. Information on her shall be revealed at a later date. Due to subject serving Chuohku, she is not presented as a threat."

Criss Hiromi

"Criss Hiromi, also known as 'Paradox'. Subject is a friend of Subject Keiko, and attends the same university as her, although at a different grade level. Subject makes her living posting videos of herself exploring disheveled and uninhabited buildings and ruins. Subject likens herself to be a 'paranormal investigator', searching for supposed supernatural creatures or beings. Personal opinion states that subject has far too much free time on her hands.

"Subject's ideas of paranormal activity began at the age of 16, after the disappearance of her parents, both of whom are explorers. As such, its believed that this is her way of reconnecting with her parental figures, both of whom no information has turned up yet. Due to the disappearance of her parents, subject has serious abandonment issues, and can't stand the thought of someone she cares for leaving her behind. It's unknown if this information will help us or not. Due to her affiliation with Subject Keiko, subject is not believed to be a threat."

Nikki Yoshie

"Nikki Yoshie, also known as '1-Up'. Subject, like Subject Criss, is a friend of Subject Keiko, though the two do not seem have a close relationship with each other. Subject is a famous E-gamer, making a living by entering and playing in video game tournaments. Subject is reputed to be #5 on the World's Best Video Game Players. Her love for them stems from her parents, both of whom currently work as video game designers. Though subject normally plays in teams, she is reputed to be a solo player, due to not being able to trust others and her past experience while working with a team. This hasn't stopped her from joining a team for the D.R.B., however.

"Besides her skill at video games, subject seems to be very intelligent, able to memorize and remember anything she reads or sees, suggesting she possess a photographic memory. Despite being advised to continue with her schooling, she always refuses, which, personal opinion states, is a waste with a mind such as hers.

"Because of her skills, subject, despite being allied with Subject Keiko, is believed to be a threat. This is mainly due to the fact that I have believe that subject has, on multiple occasions, infiltrated Chuohku's server and either witnessed or stolen private information. It's unknown if this is due to her curiosity, or at the behest of someone else. Sources states that, though they are few, she has often been sighted in the company of Subject Sumire of Shinagawa and her team of hackers. Extreme measures will have to be utilized."

Otaku Corps

"I understand Otome-sama gave Subject Keiko permission to create a team in order to combat her mother's, but personal opinion states that this was likely not a wise move. Despite each subjects' abilities, none of them seem to have particular skill with the HypMic, nor have they have been in any battles. Though I do not question Subject Keiko's loyalty to Chuohku, I have to call in question her skill at choosing effective partners. One seems to be flighty, and the other seems to be short of becoming an Internet criminal, much like Subjects Sumire and Kaoru. I also must wonder if her teammates know that Subject Keiko works for Chuohku. It seems unlikely that either of them know.

"Despite that, having another Chuohku team is a welcome site. Opposition seems highly unlikely. In the rare case that it does occur, however, caution should be utilized due to each team member's abilities. Taking out Subject Keiko first should be done, not only due to her ability, but also because she seems to be the most experienced the Hypnosis Microphone. Afterwards, taking out Subject Nikki next should be done. Finally, Subject Criss should be saved for last.

"Report and analysis on Akihabara Division team, Otaku Corps, completed. Moving on to next available assignment."

*rolls up sleeves* 001 - ACOFAF, 002 - PGSM Reinako for a throwback, 003 - Wedge Antilles (I'm joking, Jaina Solo)

This is so long because I love them all too much

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:

Favorite character: Chirp! You know Emily is my favorite in every season lmao. But really every single character was so good, I cannot get over how perfect this season was

Least Favorite character: Suntar

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Rue/Hob and Binx/Andhera were incredible. We missed out on Grandfather/Grabalba and Squak/Jeremy Renner. The audacity of Lou to send the most romantic letter ever written to the baroness and then send a "you up" text to Theodore

Character I find most attractive: All of them???

Character I would marry: Binx

Character I would be best friends with: Andhera

A random thought: I so deeply wish we'd gotten to see more of Chirp with Esme and Peep. I know we didn't have the time but I wanted it!!

An unpopular opinion: I think a misfits and magic style special reunion would be perfect, but I don't want a second season with these characters. I think all their endings were perfect. A second season with the same cast and universe but all new characters would be ideal for me

My Canon OTP: The canon ones are so good!

My Non-canon OTP: The universe where we got Rue/Wuvvy and Andhera/Hob is very interesting. Also all the npcs Aabria made to romance everyone!! I would like to see them!!

Most Badass Character: Every time Andhera stood up for himself ;_; Hob finally realizing his worth and leaving his court, Rue's reveal of their true self, Binx coming to the bloom as the sole survivor of her court…. they're all amazing and badass

Most Epic Villain: Grandfather?????

Pairing I am not a fan of: I think any combination of these characters would have been good

Favourite Friendship: Chirp and Squak!! I will miss these bird cousins so dearly!! "Cousin, you can do no wrong in my eyes" they are so messy but love each other so much and then the found family of coming together with everyone else is so incredible

Character I most identify with: I think one of the things that make this season so great for me is I can relate to most of them in some way. Some combination of Rue and Andhera and Binx

Character I wish I could be: Binx

002 | Send me a ship and I will tell you:

When I started shipping them: 2003!!! I am taking psychic damage thinking about the fact that it's been 19 years since this show premiered….

My thoughts: They are perfect! Peak romance! Mina teasing Rei into opening up more! Rei showing her that her life is worth fighting for beyond just being a senshi! The rage and despair Keiko brought as a 15 year old girl when Mina died! She still blows me away as an actress

What makes me happy about them: Fighting over dog food and idol nicknames and their devotion to Usagi and their duty and working together to find a balance for it all

What makes me sad about them: Mina's weapon going to Rei after her death, the look on Rei's face as she reads the letter Mina left, her powers manifesting wordlessly as she's wreathed in flames in battle immediately after………… this ship has everything

My wishlist: That the show had gotten to adapt every arc of the manga and we'd seen them actually get together instead of ending with them bumping into each other awkwardly during the wedding bouquet toss and then immediately looking away from each other as their friends watch and smirk. Obviously the most platonic of reactions

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: In pgsm universe, nobody, but Usa/Mina otherwise. And senshi/shitennou

My happily ever after for them: Just being together!

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you:

How I feel about this character: My beloved!! Gone from canon but never gone from my heart

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: Just Jag. Love them meeting after flying together and having him walk past all the people he's supposed to greet and his newly met uncle to complisult her flying lmao. Her other love interests were so terrible. Why did we have to spend 15 years stuck in love square hell (oh, because she's the only girl in the next gen and so that was of course her fate)

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: Her relationships with Jacen and Anakin, looking over them as the oldest, the despair and grief watching Anakin sacrifice himself, her twin bond with Jacen and their constant awareness of each other and their push and pull during the war but also the support they gave each other until, y'know, Caedus

My unpopular opinion about this character: She never got her due. She constantly took a backseat to her brothers, until they were both dead, and then to Ben, and then when she was FINALLY getting her own trilogy, fucking disney happened. We can't have nice things! And yet despite it all she was so incredible! So dedicated to protecting people! Just as talented as her uncle and twin! The best pilot in a generation! An incredible lightsaber combatant! In tune with the Force! I LOVE her

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: The sword of the jedi trilogy!! More of her relationships with Leia and Mara and Tenel ka and Tahiri and Mirta and Winter. More of her happiness with Jag. Not spending like two years brainwashed by bugs. More of a throughline over the series to chart her grief and responsibility over watching her youngest brother die and killing her twin and fighting a war from the age of 15 and being handed a prophecy at 17 telling her she'll always be alone but she'll take comfort in the safety she brings to others. We should have gotten eight movies adapting the new jedi order and legacy of the force series with a clone wars style cartoon about her during the vong war, dammit

Favorite friendship for this character: Lowie, Jag, her bond with her brothers, would have been nice if the authors cared to do more with her female friendships. We hardly ever saw her team up with any of them

リリイ・シュシュ。本名 : 鈴木圭子。

1980年12月8日生れ

バンド「ブラッドベリ・オーケストラ」、「フィリア」を経てリリイ・シュシュとしてソロ・デビュー。

彼女はこの世がエーテルで満ちているという。

エーテルとは、かつて物理学上では光を伝播する媒質として考えられ、教育者シュタイナーは、人体を覆う生命体として、エーテル(体)を規定している。

リリイはこのエーテルを精神世界的意味合いで用い、その受容する感覚を色で表現する。

一方でリリイの周囲には、スタッフによる傷害事件、ファンの自殺、そして殺人事件等、哀しい事象がつきまとう。

はたしてそれは、彼女に宿った宿命なのか?それとも・・・。

Lily Chou-Chou. Real name: Keiko Suzuki.

Born December 8, 1980

After working in the bands "Bradbury Orchestra" and "Philia", she made her solo debut as Lily Chou-Chou.

She says the world is filled with ether.

In physics, ether was once thought of as a medium through which light propagates, and Steiner, an educator, defines ether (body) as a living entity that covers the human body.

Lily uses this ether in a spiritual sense and expresses the sensations she receives with colors.

On the other hand, around Lily, there are sad events such as staff injuries, fan suicides, and murders.

Is it the fate that dwells in her?

I actually don't remember what they've talked about in this segment so now I'm hoping for something fun or juicy. XD

YESSS I LOVE THAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT AYAKA!!!! lol

So - I'm not going to screen-shot the next part, because I'm pretty sure the subtitles are wrong. I looked at other subtitles (including some in Chinese, which is often a bit more accurate in capturing the nuances in Japanese dialogue due to the connection between Chinese and Japanese languages), I am very glad to have found confirmation of what I believed they were actually saying in Japanese.

Miyuu was explaining how in the early episodes, Ayaka's scenes were usually filmed solo and at night, so the girls rarely get to interact. Even when Miyuu and Ayaka started working together (referring to Act 11 & 12), the interaction was still a bit formal at first. But after Keiko and Ayaka started filming together as a duo (referring to Act 17 & 18) Ayaka got pulled into more conversation with the larger group, and became more open with everyone through Keiko.

Regardless of the choice of word in the translation ("crazy" versus "open" or "casual")... LMAO KEIKO??? The first thing you say about Ayaka in response to Miyuu's explanation is to say Ayaka's finally became open? That's it????!!!! XDDDDD

I love Keiko and Ayaka's friendship so much! Even though in present days Ayaka and Miyuu are the best friends, I love that even in personal videos Ayaka posts on her Youtube channel, Keiko is often mentioned. In this video, Ayaka also mentioned that out of her 4 Senshi cast-mates, till this day she relies on Keiko the most. 🥹
