Human Names from Pokémon
Like how Robin, Leo, Raven, Kitty, etc. sound like animals using different languages, and names like Goldie can have ties if the namer so wishes. Same works here! The Pokemon name itself can be a name or the more “namey” sounding version.
Under the cut will likely be long and always getting longer as it’s updated. Names will be organised alphabetically!

Our Song S1 Rewatch : Episode 8
(Update on Episode 7 - It was a Group A vs Group B contest . From Group B, Chris/Mimi and Tanya/Ayunga was competing against Group A members. Out of the four Group B members, only Ayunga made it out to form a new team with a Team A senior. Tanya, Chris Wong and Mimi Lee were unfortunately eliminated. It was heartbreaking😭).
Full Episode 8 with subs:
Group A's Team WangZha(Luo Qi Wang Linkai) and JieTouPaiDang (Ren Xianqi and Liu Yuning) will battle Group B's NaZhan(Na Ying, Xiao Zhan) and YiJianQingXin(Emil Chau, Jiang)
As they are top two groups from both A and B, these two teams have an advantage. Only one senior and one newcomer will be eliminated, remain, unlike previous episode which had two senior and two newcomers eliminated.
Format is unpredictable. There will be a three round battle between the two teams.
The winning team both pair makes it through to next episode. In the losing team, any one senior and one newcomer will be eliminated based on audience votes. They could be a pre-existing pair or a brand new pair.
Na Ying had to take care of something urgent at home, so Angela Chang is helping out NaYing by taking her place.
Banter between Emil Chau and Richie Ren is adorable. It is obvious they have known each other for a long while, the way they were pulling each other's leg.
Group A named themselves " Qi Yu" A Chance Encounter Squad". Group B named themselves "Shao Hua Yi Zhan", which is a mix of the names of all four members.
First round :
Group A's performance is 'Fade Away' sung by Wang Linkai aka Xiao Gui, and Liu Yuning. Unfortunately the solo video of the song has now been 'privated', I'm assuming due to copyright reasons (Original song was sung by Jay Chou).
Performance was wild!!! Extremely stylish for starters. Loved Liu Yuning's vocals the most, he has a raspy tone to his voice, suits with both rap and classic. He pulled it off very well. Ending was magnificent ! His vocals accompanied by Xiao Gui's rap, and the overall composition is excellent.
While comments from other team members, I felt Liu Yuning did put Xiao Zhan on the spot on asking specifically for his feedback, also quipping "everyone wants to hear what he says". But Xiao Zhan held himself well, and gave a really nice feedback, which ended up in another cute banter between Emil and Richie😍
Angela's impersonation of Na-Jie is super adorable 😍😍
Next is Group B's performance, which was by Angela Chang and Jiang YiQiao. The song they chose is "The Furthest Place we can See". Angela commented that Jiang looked quite nervous, but the remake arrangement should remove a lot of the burden from her.
The performance was beautiful, but it felt Angela's voice was overpowering Jiang. She did look nervous, I would say she's more comfortable performing with her Shifu. The gave it a good fight.
The end comments were very appreciative. Emil was so emotional, and as Lin Hai commented, his face represented the four seasons 😆. Cute attempt by Xiao Zhan to raise votes 😆
Group A won by 4 points only. Group A scored 142 and Group B scored 138. Tough round, more to come.
Second Round:
Group A discussed on what to perform next. Since two songs had Xiao Gui in it, they decided to have his second song in the last round to retain the element of surprise. Group B wanted to have the most powerful song in the end, and have 'Inquiring' as the second song. Like Emil said, "having a handsome man helps 😆".
Round 2 begins. Xiao Zhan and Emil Chau sang 'Inquiring'. What a stunning performance! Beautiful stage, and spectacular singing by them both. This is actually my most favourite performance of Our Song Season 1.
It was so touching when Emil hugs Xiao Zhan in the end, and said "out of all the times they sang, that was the best". And later he said, how hard working Xiao Zhan is. He had been singing this song everywhere, eating, going to the toilet, sitting on the sofa or even in the corridor 😆 He can stop now.
Comments from the other contestants were very warm and affectionate. Angela remarked as to how it reflected their own life experiences. Emil with his enormous experience and stage presence, and Xiao Zhan with his sense of freshness brings something uniquely new to the song.
Group B's turn now. It was interesting to see Richie and Liu Yuning collab on the composition and music. Richie, Liu Yuning and Luo Qi are singing "Back here again", with a mash up of another traditional song "Any empty bottles left for sale". The composition with both classical and rock was excellent.
Their thought process with choosing the song was good, they kind of knew Emil and XZ would go for a smooth melodious song. So they went with a classical rock version that would make the audience get up on their feet and sing with them.
Group B won by 6 votes. They scored 143 and Group A scored 137. Hence we get down to third and final round.
Third Round :
Group B goes first. It's one of Emil's golden classic 'Flowery Heart' that is performed by all four team members. In the rehearsal, we can see that Na Jie was a part of the song selection process, and that its a relief for Emil that he doesn't need to memorise new lyrics 😆😆
The harmony between all four members is spectacular! And yes this is a super popular song with beautiful lyrics. They played their trump card at the end. What a perfect ending for Group B. It seems they decided on not doing a 'remake' but keep the original tone and lyrics, full of nostalgia of the past.
A comment from Emil after the performance "In today's competition, there is no victory or loss. The victory is that of the well loved classic that accompanied us through life".
Group A singers for the final round are Richie Ren, Luo Qi and Xiao Gui. They sang "Am I really left with Nothing". Great performance! And Xiao Gui's rapping was brilliant 😍
Group B wins by a margin of 18 votes. They got 149 votes, Group A got 131 votes. This difference was the highest between all three rounds. All members of Group B will be passing through to the next episode. In Group A, one newcomer and one senior will be eliminated.
Lin Hai send handwritten notes to everyone in Group A, which contained their results. Richie and Liu Yuning made it. Luo Qi and Xiao Gui were sadly eliminated.
Final thoughts:
One of the things that stood out for me was the absolute banter between Emil and Richie. It shows how long they've known each other to pull each others leg and pat on the back the same time.
In my opinion, Group B should have swapped second and third songs. Xiao Gui is an excellent rapper but interesting song would be attractive to only a certain generation of people, compared to "Flowery Heart" which is a golden era classic. Hence the difference in the votes was so huge.
My favourite song in the episode is Inquiring. Followed by Flowery Heart and Back here again. Xiao Zhan seems really excited to collaborate with Emil. Hope to see many future collaborations.

Tokyo 7th Sisters Character Commentary - Yukuhashi Ei
Other Commentary
Seto Ferb - Mimori Matsuri - Kawasumi Sisala - Shiratori Tomoe - Yamai Sawori - Echizen Murasaki
Warning: May contain spoilers for: Episode 1.5 (Ei) - episode 2.5 (Ei, Kyouko, Murasaki) - Episode 3.0 (Ei, Mimi, Sisala, Sawori)
Yukuhashi Ei
A long black haired girl with low tone, calm and somehow whimsical voice bringing a bag full of charms, Ei is a miko who can see ghosts. Her family runs a Shinto shrine (jinja) in Tokyo 7th and she often helps her family as a Miko. Ever since she was a child, she could see ghosts, spirits, and demon and even got possessed by them, although she will not have any memory of the time she was possessed. When she was little, she was so used to running away from them, she actually becomes the fastest runner in Nanastar’s sport event Team Sun (lol–there isn’t any Rena there, so I don’t know which between the two are fastest haha). Other than her ability to see spirits, Ei is just an ordinary girl, who happens to be an idol.
Character
Empathetic
Ei is kindhearted and it doesn’t limit its meaning to merely human or living being, but also the spirits she met. In several episodes including her own, she was shown to be empathetic to spirits. She would let the spirits talk to her and she would try to help them as best as she could, or at least just be there to lend an ear. In Sawori’s 3.0 Ei showed great empathy over Sawori’s condition, and was willing to put her self on the line for her friend’s happiness and be Sawori’s “body guard” to avoid hurting herself. She also appeared to be very aware and sensitive, telling others to not move too fast in case it will hurt Sawori or if they would make Sawori felt bad. In Sisala’s 3.0, Ei was shown to be angry in Sisala’s place when someone was showing aggression towards them. She offered assistance and help to people in trouble, showing sensitivity over someone else’s condition. She also would rather not make people feel bad if she could, opting to not tell her friends of her reason for choosing clothes after they told her it’s unfashionable.
A pushover
Often being placed in either embarrassing or compromising situations, Ei would often look obviously reluctant or troubled when people (or ghost) are asking the impossible out of her (like asking her to cosplay). However, when it comes to someone’s happiness, she would eventually comply given enough persuasion–which usually came in rather easily. Ei was vehemently against becoming magical girl miko for Manon at first, however, albeit reluctantly, she eventually did do it (and actually very serious in it) if it were to make Manon smile again.
Sentimental sense of fashion
Ei has a weird sense of clothing for her everyday attire that her friends said it to be “dasakawaii” which basically lame, but cute. The only cuteness is because Ei is the one wearing, so perhaps in fashion sense it’s just lame. Turned out, Ei chose clothes not based on how they would look good on her, but the memories it holds. That is why her clothes often mismatched each other as each piece is for a memory of different person (like her grandmother, her mother, or the Nanastar idols).
Likes teasing people
With people knowing that she can see ghost, at times she teased people, especially those who are scared by ghost, by saying there are ghost near them or at least pretend that she would say so (only to say something different). An example was Kyouko, who is a scaredy cat, or even Shihainin himself.
Sensible
Common sense is actually one of Ei’s traits, where she questioned a lot of things in the universe that did not add up (such as Miko who use magic). Ei uses polite form when talking to her elder, properly use their honorofic, and is sensible to understand one need to hide something so as to not hurt someone else (such as in Sawori’s 3.0). She also often there to tsukkomi the others’ antics, actually being the straightman instead of the strange one in the team.
Actually is just an ordinary girl in so many meaning
Her other traits are all very “average”. She shows concern, but not the type that rush headlong right away or being too stubborn. She is kind, but still show displeasure for things that embarrassed her. She also tsukkomi a lot of the strangeness in Nanastar. She is perhaps one of the most… “ordinary” out of all the girls, which is also quite ironic, since she might one of the more unique ones with her ability to see ghost.
Character Development
Ei’s character development so far mostly revolves around how she cope, or rather, feel about her supernatural ability or her strangeness. In 1.5 it is expressed that her ability has brought her a lot of trouble since she was a child, however upon being able to help a ghost finding her smile back, she was able to accept that if by having the ability she could make at least those that departed find their happiness back or solve their unresolved feelings. In 2.5 Ei was also shown to use her Miko status to help Manon, and despite her initial reluctance, also believed that it was worth the smile of every children present at that time. She also often used her jinja’s purifying rites to help rid away bad luck from her friends, giving them to Murasaki and also to Sawori. In 3.5, it is shown that even her fashion sense is strange, it was because every clothing articles she wore had memories, the main reason why she chose them.
Relationship
Yamai Sawori
Sawori and Ei’s interaction happened in Sawori’s 3.0, where Ei was paired with Sawori along with Shao for a job. Upon hearing how Sawori desired to not getting wounded at least until a PV shot, Ei realized that something they felt as usual such as not getting injured, is actually something rare for Sawori and she has taken it for granted. She was touched by Sawori’s condition and willing to spend time everyday with Sawori to keep her out of trouble, making charms for Sawori, and even willing to risk herself for Sawori’s sake. They also had a very good relationship, holding hands together as they walk around town.
Kawasumi Sisala
Ei was part of the hip hop event along with Sisala and seemed to have bonded some what (although Ei did not remember much about that time). She was also the one Sisala and co. asked to turn into magical girl for Manon. In Sisala’s 3.0 Ei was shown to have cared a lot for Sisala, while also showing respect, using polite form of speech when she knew she was asking something sensitive. She also express worry upon knowing that Sisala might have to face her past alone.
Uesugi Kyouko
Ei and Kyouko has a light, easy going relationship where Ei was mostly just teasing Kyouko about ghosts. She was willing to design a “ghost hunter show” simulation for Kyouko at least, leaving markers all over Nanasis for Kyouko fight her fear.
Echizen Murasaki
Ei and Murasaki’s interaction happened in Murasaki’s 2.5 when she came to help with Murasaki’s school festival. The first thing that Ei did was telling Murasaki about all the spirits in her school and also told her to be careful of the haunted stairs. Murasaki seemed displeased however, telling Ei to not just tell her that easily about the ghosts in one’s own school. However, Murasaki still showed gratitude and cherish the help she got, also appeared happy when she was given a doll which Ei had also helped to put her jinja’s blessing on.
Xiao Fei Hung
Being assigned together with Xiao and Sawori, Ei and Xiao agreed to not let Sawori get hurt by keep on being with her. Ei appears to keep reminding Xiao to not show their real intention to be with Sawori so as not to make Sawori feels bad, also warning Xiao whenever she walks just a little bit faster, or seems like she will fall. The three of them bonded during their days together, shown to be very comfortable with each other at the end of the episode.
Araki Rena, Jeddah Diamond, Orisaka Ayumu
All three appeared in Ei’s episode 3.0, helping her to pick some new clothes. In the end, they were touched by Ei’s reasoning and with Ei only letting things go and did not bother to explain herself, they talked about how what a wonderful person she was and why her clothes are important for her.
Trivia:
The ‘Yuku” in Yukuhashi means “Death” while “Hashi” means “Bridge”, perhaps signifying how Ei could see those that have died yet has not yet crossed the bridge to another realm. The name Ei, although katakana, perhaps may mean “keen”, signifying Ei’s sixth sense ability to see spirits.
She collects charms, can do purifying rites, and other than ghost can see other spiritual phenomena. When she is possessed, her eyes will lit up purple.
Every time she is being offered a mascot/cosplay job, she would reject it by saying, “Leave those to Musubi!”
She calls her friends on first name basis without honorifics, showing a rather outgoing personality, but she properly use -san honorifics for those older than her.
