Baby Haruka looks like what Bubblegum K.K. sounds like

I completed Jean’s stages in the new event and I had absolutely no idea where to put the little Jean I had gotten as a reward so I just... stuck him between us and now we look like a little family (Jean holding the white puppy plush doesn’t really help either)

“Do not talk to me, my wife or my son ever again.”

Y’all mind if I just [ posts a meme of my current WIPs without any context as to what the actual story is about ]

[kiramxchis]

I have spent the better part of two hours going through Ikevamp Archive blogs, Tumblr, Google and Twitter searches trying to find out what the name of Jean’s Tiger cub is because the title of the card where Jean holds them in the English Version has their name listed as “Chérie” but everywhere else their name is listed as either “Cherry” or “Sherry” and I Am Oh So Very Confused

Stuff I noticed in the OVER/5Y video because I like to over analyze anything Banri gives us and I need an outlet for it

One of the good things about IDOLiSH7′s promotions (or any of their media really) is the fact that they are FILLED with fun Easter eggs for fans of the series. Here’s everything I collected when watching and rewatching the video since it was released two days ago. There will be some slight spoilers for the main storyline though, so if you’re an Anime Only Fan please keep that in mind. A lot of these are mostly just speculation, so don’t take a lot of these to heart or consider them facts

These certainly aren’t everything. In a true IDOLiSH7 Style there’s refrences everywhere and some things were purposely left out (like how each character still has costumes from the Live Shows in it). I’m still discovering new things as I watch the video and Tumblr does have a paragraph limit so if you saw something you think I left out, feel free to add onto this post!

1. Starting off with a simple and very obvious one: Each of the Centers (Riku, Tenn, Momo and Haruka) all have an animated bit. Riku moves some clothes on a rack, Tenn opens a drawer, Momo takes a pullover off a rack and Haruka turns on a table lamp. While the actual anniversary isn’t until August, I have a feeling that they’ll be putting a lot more emphasis on the Center’s for the 5th Anniversary. It’s also worth noting that while Re:vale is a duo, when doing group photos of the Centers and Leaders, Momo is always paired with the Centers and Yuki the Leaders. The same goes for ZOOL, which actually have Duel Centers. Since Touma is also ZOOL’s Leader, he is grouped with the Leaders

2. The Logo

This is something I just recently noticed, but the logo for the OVER/5Y Promotion has a Compass Rose. IDOLiSH7 kinda has a thing for journeys, such as with WiSH VOYAGE and DiSCOVER THE FUTURE, both of which are the anime series two openings. I can’t remember if that has always been the case or if it’s a recent addition but with the Compass Rose taking up most of the logo, I’m gonna say it was always there. According to anamcaralife(.)com, the Compass Rose represents spiritual direction, awakening and discovery. Additionally, the four directions represent infinite possibility, the present, the past, and the future [X], meaning their journey isn’t done here, and there’s still many more years for us to learn, grow, laugh, love and dream with IDOLiSH7, TRIGGER, Re:vale and ZOOL. That’s probably what the “OVER” part of “OVER/5Y” means. That this series is going to live on beyond it’s 5th anniversary

3. References To Past Events

Obviously in a video for the upcoming 5th Anniversary is going to have references to past events. It’s a pretty big milestone for a series (RIP, my Stones come August). We see lots of examples of the previous campaigns CROSSINGXUS, Light Future and Non-fiction. I’m not surprised that the What Is Non-fiction reference and one of the CROSSINGXUS I found were in ZOOL’s segment since that was the first campaign they were apart of. The first CROSSINGXUS reference I found was in Nagi’s still. Part 4 (which was being released during the 4th anniversary) focused very heavily on Nagi and ZOOL so that made me happy

I also think a CROSSINGXUS reference is in Ryu’s still, but it’s blurry so I can’t really read it

4. Visual Board Tour Photograph

This one get’s it own separate point! The photograph inside the drawer Tenn pulls out is a photograph “taken” right after IDOLiSH7 gets back from their Visual Board Tour, bringing gifts for TRIGGER and Re:vale

5. 14

The number 14 is easily one the most noticeable things in Touma’s still. It’s right there by his shoulder so you can’t really miss it. 14 is a multiple of 7, math is my worst subject and even I know it. Touma’s most obvious Character Foil is Riku, and he’s also the member of IDOLiSH7 that Touma is closest too. Ever since Part 3 the main storyline has made it very clear that Riku sorta has this innate ability to draw attention to himself outside of just his cute face and bubbly personality. Small bits of evidence can be seen early on but it grows more and more as the story progresses. By the end of Part 4 it got to the point were shirts Riku wore on variety shows were being sold out within minutes of being restocked and women stopped wearing perfume with strong scents after Riku said he didn’t like it during a TV interview.

To understand why this effects Touma, we must look back at Touma’s backstory. Touma used to belong to an Idol Unit called NO_MAD. NO_MAD disbanded shortly before the series began due to TRIGGER’s rising popularity. Many of their fans became TRIGGER fans, lots of jobs that once would have gone to them went to TRG instead and Touma fully blamed the group’s decline in popularity solely on TRIGGER. When NO_MAD disbanded, Touma was full of resent and hatred for TRIGGER, enough to the point were he was easily convinced by Ryo to join ZOOL. Touma rejoined the industry with a black heart, claiming he would never sing seriously again because why did it matter if their fans would leave them for the next shiny thing? Touma’s entire ideology crumbled underneath him when meeting Riku, and remainders of his past love for singing and preforming began to shine though his bad boy persona. By the middle of Part 4 Touma had almost fully turned around. He began to see Haruka, Minami and Torao as actually groupmates, people he wanted to bring to the top with him and not some people he should at least get along with for the next 3 years. And that was all because of Riku. Whether he liked it or not, Riku was able to bring back the old Touma. I couldn’t find any numbers in any of the other Leader’s still so TouRiku Stans Come Get Your Bread

Going back to Touma and TRIGGER for a second, 14 minus 8 is six. Six is a multiple of 3. There are three members in TRIGGER. I don’t think much else needs to be said

6. Gaku’s Birthday

For some reason Torao’s still had a calendar that’s set to Gaku’s birthday (August 16th) meaning this is sign of warning that something big is coming on that day, or it’s a reference to how Torao usurped Gaku for his position as the Most Desired Embrace

And that’s all I collected so far! Again, if you saw something you think I didn’t notice or purposely left out and want to bring attention to it, feel free to add it on! Hopefully Banri never makes me do something like this again

Finally, something good came out of Twitter’s cropping

[kiramxchis]

I suddenly got hit with a very large bout of Creative Energy thinking about Hoshi Meguri Tsumugi being a field medic during the Laman Civil War, but I wanna save that for Something Important so I must bottle this creativity and place it on a shelf for later use like homemade jam

Brother: So who of the IkeSen Warlords do you think is the easiest to peg?

Me: Hideyoshi

Brother: Yeah

Me: You'd just have to ask him nicely and then say "please~?" when he tells you no the first time

Brother: You don't even have to ask him, just suck on his fingers a little bit

I may only be two chapters into my first IkeVamp Route and have no clue what’s going on in the Japanese version of the game but is that going to stop me from making a Johannes Vermeer OC? Absolutely not

[kiramxchis]

As of June 27th, Ikemen Vampire has been added to the list!

I created a page with my Mobage codes in case anyone who plays wants an extra friend. It’s only IDOLiSH7 and Ikemen Sengoku at the moment because my phone storage doesn’t have room for anything else (😅). If I get a new phone I will definitely be adding more since there are plenty of more I want to play!

SD Cards are a wonderful thing

[kiramxchis]

If Nobunaga and Kichou’s interactions aren’t vaguely reminiscent of a set of divorced parents who hated each other by the time their marriage was over coming together and “setting aside their differences” for the sake of the kids during Christmas or their birthday then I absolutely do not want it
