MEDIA - ラジオCD「20th ANNIVERSARY ペルソナラジオ」 [JP/ENG]

Title: Persona 20th Anniversary "Persona Radio" Download Link

The Persona 20th Anniversary Radio was a weekly broadcast featuring various voice actors from the Persona series, and it then got released in CD format for the 20th anniversary!

I was always curious about Koyasu's thoughts regarding P2 and his inclusion on this CD because it was the first time he was called out for something anniversary-related, so I comissioned a translation of his radio appearance!

The translation has been done by the wonderful @currytantou so all kudos to her! The video is long and heavy so tumblr doesn't let me attach it directly uhsdfkj

Some things of note:

Koyasu likes Trinity Soul (likely because he voiced Kanzato Ryo www) and wishes others gave it a chance, not to erase it's existence.

Koyasu is a huge Megaten fan and he started with Mainline and Devil Survivor. He was also in other (old?) Atlus streams as well.

Koyasu has also played Megami Ibunroku Persona, and his favorite character there is Nanjo. He wanted to voice him.

Tatsuya's voice was always meant to be deep. Koyasu was told several times to actually deepen his voice when recording for Tatsuya.

Koyasu's favorite option for Tatsuya is Lisa. He immediately replies "Ginko" without a doubt lmao.

He loves Tatsuya very much, and complains about Atlus "removing him when they're coming up with something". He wishes he was more relevant and that he could voice him again.

Additionally, here's congratulatory messages of all members that are featured on the CD

Koyasu Takehito:

Nova Cytheeeerrrr!! Persona 2 Innocent Sin/Eternal Punishment is a work that'll be forever in my heart, so I was very happy to have been able to participate this way. I'd love to do it again (lol) That's all!

Akira Ishida:

Thank you for listening to the 20th Anniversary Persona Radio. I can only express my gratitude to all of you who have run alongside me in this 10-year marathon of “Persona 3"

I'm confident that this is content I can present to the new fans who will support us for the next 10 years. I hope you will continue to support the Persona series"

Hikaru Midorikawa:

I'm glad to have been able to participate as a guest this time. I wonder if this will be my last work related to "Persona 3"? But I had a lot of fun talking to Ishida-san♥

Namikawa Daisuke

It's been a while since we last spoke, but once we started talking, it didn't take long for us to get back to the atmosphere of that time. It was a fun time! I hope I was able to deliver it in style…

Kanda Akemi

It was fun!! It's been a while since I've had the "Persona" feeling, and I really loved it. Thank you!!

Kappei Yamaguchi

It didn't feel that it's been that long! The cast of "Persona 4" are all good friends, so I would be happy if we could do something for the 20th again♪

Fukuyama Jun

This is Jun Fukuyama, playing as P5's protagonist! I was supposed to tell you about the charms of P5, but I ended up focusing on the fun stories of each character, but that's alright!!

Aoi Yuuki

Eh!? No way Fukuyama-san is a cheater…! Eh!? To think Fukuyama-san could do something like that…! Eh!? Fukuyama-san…! It was a lot of fun to hear this side of him…(lol) Of course, we're talking about P5☆

Unfortunately, not *all* of the CD is translated (I would die x_x, these interviews are so fast paced and like 40 mins each!!!). If you want to know the 345 side of the interviews, you can trust curry for a translation~

But to compensate, this has nothing to do with the 20th anniversary, but I also comissioned an additional message that appeared in the somewhat recent 25th anniversary as well! This is one of the first instances of Maya's VA, Akiko Yajima, to have been invited to an anniversary-related event too!

I'm mostly a p2 blog so I wanted to take the opportunity to post this during Tatsuya's birthday as well. So please enjoy!

The Digimon Adventure kids playing Stardew Valley!

I was chatting with @digitalworldbound some time ago, and we somehow brought up Jun being a fangirl for Elliott. After that, we came up with many headcanons about the Chosen Children being into Stardew Valley that I doodled some of them!! Below the read more are the headcanons we thought of!

This isn't exactly related to Stardew, but Chloe was brilliant and thought Jun would go for a wolf cut in college, which I think fits well!!

Jun loves Elliott and aspires to be him. Also, she has yellow and purple joycons along with knock off pastel joycons.

Hikari would adore Stardew Valley and the animals!! She loves all the girls but she is definitely a Leah stan.

She doesn’t like how lonely Abigail is :(

Taichi only started to play because Hikari adores the game so much. He isn’t far in but so far he likes Alex the most.

He loves mining and murdering slime

Yamato plays it on his downtime for the story and make his farm successful and make grandpa proud

He likes his chickens and gives them cute names :)

Yamato, seeing Sam: “he just like me fr 🥺”

He kinda comes off as a Caroline fan ngl

Jyou's a big fan of Harvey of course. He physically nods his head in agreement whenever Harvey gives advice to the player.

Yamato, Jyou, Ken, and Iori have their own, secret world together to do Simple and Calm things.

Koushiro is obsessed with demetrius and his experiments. He lowkey wishes he was marriageable.

Ken gives everyone gifts to make them happy because he’s a sweet guy (it also makes him poor).

Ken memorizes every characters birthday so he can get extra hearts

He dislikes the game not allowing him to give more than two gifts a week :(

Iori is just there to Farm ™️

Jun and Miyako's sisters have a world together and Miyako pops in every now and then

They fight over who’s the favorite of the bachelorettes because they’re silly

Miyako is there to fall in LOVE and has one save file for each bachelorette/bachelor

Although her favorites are Elliott, Alex, Haley and sometimes Emily (bi queen)

She’s also tried mods which allow her to marry other characters

Sora constantly accepts and finishes quests to help people in the game.

She befriended krobus in the sewers and is bffs with Linus

She also loves her horse very much horse girl Sora

Takeru owns all the hats and is obsessed with the hat store obviously.

He dresses up his kids with the hats so they all match.

Mimi loves the outfits !! Her and Sora have their own farm where they just decorate like the sims

They also name the animals after their friends

“I think taichi should be a duck >:)” “Mimi no-”

You bet they have a bunny named “hikari”

Unlike Miyako, Daisuke ignores most of the people and focuses on mining and making cash

Also the arcade games!!! He loves the cowboy minigame

Miyako and Takeru make fun of his farm because they think it’s pathetic (it’s actually decent but don’t tell Daisuke they think that)

If you have more headcanons, feel free to add on!!

OC INFORMATION: YUKINA KURIMOTO

*art credited to nocnoc_art @ instagram*

Name: Yukina Kurimoto (栗本 雪奈) Birthplace: Ukyo Ward, Kyoto, Japan Nationality: Japanese Birthday: October 24th (Scorpio)

PHYSICAL FEATURES Age: 17 (WMS Arc 1) | 18 (WMS Arc 2) | 18 - 19 (WMS Arc 3) Height: 158cm (start of Arc 1) | 160cm (end of Arc 3) Weight: 47kg Hair Color: Dark Brown / Black Eye Color: Medium Brown

GENERAL INFORMATION Family: Tatsuya Kurimoto (father, deceased), Akane Matsuda (mother, deceased) Unnamed Paternal Grandparents Emiko Matsuda (maternal grandmother) Daisuke Kurimoto (uncle)

Fighting Style: Aikido (Arc 1) | Aikido, Kobudo (Arcs 2 + 3) Weapon: Dual Sai

Personality: Quiet and reserved by nature, she carries a somewhat mysterious aura around her. While being from the Kansai region, she speaks with a formal dialect and has an extremely subtle accent.

Despite her soft demeanor, she's far from a pushover. She'll protect those she loves by putting herself on the line, even in a compromising position. She's also willing to bend the rules on occasion and can be surprisingly stubborn, which is more apparent in close relationships.

While she appears distant at times, it's merely a defense mechanism to keep herself at arm's length. Her innermost desire is to make everlasting bonds, but certain memories make her hesitant; all it would take is for her to meet the right people to set her free.

HISTORY: A high school student living in Kyoto, Yukina trains alongside her uncle to become a full fledged aikidoka.

Originally approached by her friend Izumi to enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, she declined due to a personal hiatus.

One night, she dreams of a young man turning into a monster and plunging the world into darkness. Unsure of where this came from, she wakes up to discover that Heihachi Mishima, the head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, has suddenly passed away.

Over the next few weeks, her dreams slowly repeat in a constant loop. Getting a bad feeling from these visions, she learns that the Mishima Zaibatsu is hosting a new tournament. Hardening her resolve, she enters the competition to prevent this dark future from happening.

While her first round in the competition is a success, her second round is interrupted by visions of two young men fighting against one another. It's there that she sees him: the young man from her dreams morphing into noting short of a demon and nearly decimating his opponent.

Consumed by this vision, she suddenly feels her entire body grow hot. The next thing she knows, she's relocated to an unknown area...but even more startling to her, she dons an entirely new outfit which strongly resembles that of a sailor suit.

Utterly confused as to what's going on, she then comes to face to face with her toughest opponent yet—Jinpachi Mishima, the host of the tournament.

From this moment on, reality shifts into a new paradigm, setting the groundwork for White Moon Saga.

MISC

Yukina's voice claim is Shizuka Itō

Her face, when drawn realistically, is loosely based on Mirei Kiritani

She has a red crowned crane motif in her training gear

The inspiration for her use of dual sai stems from Elektra (Marvel) and Raphael (TMNT), which begins in Arc 2

She presses flowers for a hobby

Her go-to drink is chamomile tea with a splash of milk and honey

PROFILE

A man who hides his face for unknown reason. He may seem to be a gentle young man but truth is, he’s got a nasty egoism and his unique gift that made him get kicked out from the family by his father.

Despite his attitude, he did a successful job as a spirit medium to help anyone in need to communicate with spirits or deal with supernatural phenomenon. There were rumors floating around the city in whether to believe it or not, he can see spirits and many of those were skeptical about his peculiar ability to see things are unexplainable while others were a bit fearful of him.

He is actually from the ancestral and religious Shinto family where they work in the Shinto shrine. With no place to go, he then been founded by his leader, Teijo from the exhaustion of starvation in the alley and he’s been generous enough to give this poor unfortunate medium a place to stay then eventually become neighbors

=======================================================

Ishihara is often seen to be covered by a white cloth with horns on his face in public. He is a young man with a faire lighter brown skin and his eyes are like pure greyish white color as if he looks blind but not really blind and has a mole on his upper lips. He has a fluffy, dark brown hair that flips up at the ends and average-length bangs that fall on the right side of his face and between the eyes.

He has a fluffy, dark brown hair that flips up at the ends and average-length bangs that fall on the right side of his face and between the eyes. He has long strands of hair been braided from the back of his head. He also have pink color highlights.

His fashion taste is similar to Gentaro that he likes to wear “old fashioned” because he admits he prefers vintage clothes rather trendy ones. Wha he wears is simply a white kosode, black undershirt, and yellow haori over them then a dark brown hakama with wide holes in both sides and his footwears are white socks and wooden geta sandals. He also has a belt with a gold rope. As for his accessories, he wore a silver glass hanafuda earring on his left ear. His overall attire is usually coming off like a shaman.

=======================================================

PERSONALITY

Upon first seeing Ishihara, he is shown to be kind and friendly person who’s willing to help others in need but behind that kind persona, his intentions is to smooth talk his way to manipulate (not in the bad way, mind you) others to give a good impression of him by receiving nice gestures or praises in getting what he wants, mainly he wants to earn money for him to survive for his every day mundane living.

He’s surprisingly intelligent with his tactical and analytical skills. He can outwit any simple-minded person and gets away by his mischiefs. Simply because either he was just bored or want experiment what they would react. He lived his own life doing what he wants for himself but even though he has his own freedom away from the household, he still harbors a hatred towards his parents for kicking him out just only because he stop having faith or believe in God as his family believes in. He began to see realistically to the world and how it eventually become down-sided that he claims his parents point of view are full of naivety because of his ability to see spirits.

Ishihara is regrettably a condescending and complex individual who shamelessly doesn't show sympathy or care about others, instead he tends to talk down those who are not worth his time unless something valuable would bring up or essential topic. He often got complaints by various peers when they found out his true nature and whatever they spat at him, he wouldn’t care less of their opinion towards him, keeping his dignity head up high while letting them run their mouth. By complex individual meaning, depending on someone he’s dealing with. He comes off as a self-centered douche to the people he hates while outside of these contexts, he has a true and genuine kind side and will acknowledge those who’ll prove him wrong as equals.

There are times he can be genuinely nice and thinks about others before himself for once within the team as he was forced to look after Sen like an uncle and Sen consider him a family even though they’re not related that he got flabbergasted by his innocence and kindness and no choice but to treat him nicely. To their surprise, he doesn’t like vicious people as them including those who lie to him, will deserve justice by his hands to put in their place, deserving to be retributed. Teijo and Sen admit that he’s selfish but they know he is, in fact, trustworthy.

=======================================================

RAP ABILITY

Third Eye (the ability to put the opponents not able to move as if they don’t have the will to fight back due to having distorted illusions of their deceased loved ones or something they’ve lost)

ETYMOLOGY

gift for dai !

               @mamuushi​ submitted :

for yamazaki daisuke’s birthday, yuka gifted him a home - made beaded bracelet, but instead of beads they are adorable pig heads with big, charcoal eyes and tiny little smiles. she bought everything in the kids’ section, just for your information. yet, she’s now leading him to his main gift. dressed in a mini cottage - core black dress, her heavily tattooed skin  and a pastel blue graphic eyeliner paired with a neutral lip gloss make up for the lack of jewelry. the hem of her dress swirls everytime she excitedly moves, leading dai by his hand. he can perfectly see where they are going - the infamous famous slaughter house - yuka has long given up about keeping a blindfold on him. when they come inside, there is a man tied to a chair. his head hangs low, his black hair coated in red. he is almost naked, aside from his underwear where is a big stain of blood seeping through, in short, she had cut off his man hood. the rest of his body is covered in relatively surface level wounds.yuka dances closer to the man on the balls of her feet, stands next to him and bends down so their faces are on the same level, with her right hand she cups his jaw and cheeks, forcing his head up to look up at dai. the man groans in pain and whimpers in fear, conscious enough to know what is going on. yuka made sure to keep him relatively alive. for now. she beams, the cutest innocent smile. “ look what i got you. ” a traitor, someone who stole money from them and fucked off, the rest of the men unable to trace him, but yuka got her ways. and what a better gift than this.she lets go off him and approaches dai, lightly wrapping her hand around his neck to yank him down so she can rests her orehead against his. her chest rises up and down in heavy breathes, dreamily she speaks. “ he’s also been saying around he fucked me,” a lie - yuka has a rather high standards, thank you very much,  “ so i made sure he can’t fuck at all. ” a sly smile appeats on her lips. “ take me and show him how a real man can make me feel. ” ( noticed it was dai’s bday on the 10th and crazy psychotic yuka wanted to give him a gift<3 they make me sickk (affectionate) )

Dai’s manic laughter explodes in the room, a wild, euphoric symphony of madness as soon as his eyes lock onto the broken figure tied to the chair. His gaze is filled with a frenzied joy, uncontainable excitement. “Holy fucking shit, holy FUCKING SHIT!” his voice, a raw shout of delight. He strides over to the man, who’s bruised but still conscious enough to feel, just the way he likes them, Yuka knows him, she knows him so damn well. Grabbing the traitor’s hair, Dai yanks his head up roughly, the man’s face a mask of fear and pain and beg for mercy. Dai’s laughter rings out again, a manic crescendo. “What’s this huuhhh? You little stupid little bitch. You’ve been talking shit about fucking my girl huhhhh?” His anger flares, and he kicks the chair hard, sending the man sprawling to the floor with a growl. “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK we’re going to have so much fucking FUN with this one.” He turns, making two quick, ecstatic dancing steps to join Yuka again. His eyes are light with a twisted mix of admiration and desire to consume her all as he grabs and pullss her closer, his grip on her waist firm and possessive. His touch is always rough like that when he handles her but it means she’s his, and he’s driven by a hunger that borders on madness. “You’re my fucking goddess, you’re my Fucking Godess. My fucking angel from all this hells i’m gonna end into. I’m so fucking hard for you.”  He speaks on a manic speed his voice dripping almost in a whisper of suave and honey and greed as he leans in, his breath hot against her neck, kisses and bites and everything he can get he’s devouring her in a playful way. His fingers dug into her chin then, making her to meet his gaze, their foreheads then one against the other as she pulls him down, his eyes reflecting all the passion he has for her. “You want me to show him what a real man can do?” he growls, his voice vibrating with a dark promise. His hand roams possessively down her body, grabbing a fistful of her dress with impatient, desperate movements, oh he’s gonna tear that up with his bare teeth. “You hear that, you piece of shit?” he shouts over his shoulder, mocking the traitor with a sadistic grin. “No one fucking says they’ve fucked MY GIRL or she fucks you up, YEAH? I don’t hear anything, WHAT THE FUCK DID I SAY?” He yells at the gagged man who’s desperatly trying to answer, drooling in his misery, sobbing and shitting himself. That’s fun. Dai then pulls Yuka against him with a fierce intensity, their bodies melding into a chaotic, feverish embrace that turns into a kiss, hands grabbing her ass, he makes her jump, her legs wrapping around his waist, to carry her straight against the closest wall. Her back hits the wall as keeps going that messy horny chaotic kiss with tongue and smiles in between and hands everywhere and moans and his teeth biting her lip, urgent and raw, primal, the type that leaves one breathless at the end and half of their clothes barely taken off. “ I’m gonna fuck you baby yeah? I’m gonna fuck the soul out of you, I’m gonna lick his blood off your skin to the bone, I’m gonna mmmm God.” He speaks, now his hands squeezing her ass, a grin on his lips. “You’re fucking perfect, you know that?” His voice drops to a dark, lustful growl, saturated, his eyes now linked with hers. “I adore you.”

[detectiveichijouji]

How would you guys react if Tai, Daisuke, and Takeru suddenly vanished? Like, up and gone, with almost no trace, not knowing what actually happened.

The Day Taichi, Daisuke and Takeru went missing for a whole day… They all just went into panic mode – Had Ken, Iori, Jou and Sora trying to contain their panik fiesta but it wouldn’t work very well.

It all started because Yamato friggin entered the Koushiro’s office KICKING the door in despair screaming HAS ANYONE SEEN TAKERU TODAY?? HE DIDN’T MESSAGE ME SINCE YESTERDAY!!

Koushiro says Taichi had sent them a message yesterday about having something IMPORTANT to say but he never answered past 1 AM. Miyako believes it was Arsenemon’s fault. Iori thinks it might be another reason, and Mimi wonders if they got a triple date with people they have a crush on (Hikari: Are you implying Daisuke-kun would like someone else than me??)

Jou think they might have forgotten their phones at home (Ken: Would all of them do it at the same time!? | Iori: I suppose Taichi-san and Daisuke-san would, but I’d be surprised if Takeru-san did forget his phone at home too… | Yamato: TAKERU NEVER FORGETS HIS PHONE AT HOME, I KNOW IT I’M HIS BROTHER!)

Sora’s theory is that they’re in a place with too much noise that they can’t hear their phones ringing… Or are on silent mode. Hikari thinks this is plausible, because sometimes she can’t hear her phone ringing in the middle of the crowd in Shibuya Crossroad.

Miyako keeps insisting it’s Arsenemon’s fault, only to get a Calling Card saying… “Nope. Try again, mademoiselle Miyako 😐” – mysteriously Noel pops in seconds later because he was instructed by Daisuke to come gather with them, and then Daisuke suddenly stopped messaging him.

None of the Older Chosen know Noel, but they just accept he’s just another of Daisuke & co’s friends. Ken suspects Noel of eavesdropping on them. Noel denies, and shows his phone – The last message Daisuke sent was last night, telling him to gather with the group for something. Iori knows Noel is just a recent Chosen Child, so he assumed Daisuke wanted to introduce them to Noel.

(Soleil and Lune are not there, and they don’t give a frick to Taichi, Daisuke and Takeru either. None of their business. However Noel does care about Daisuke and Takeru, and to some extent Taichi – Daisuke’s friends are his friends in some way)

Everyone was losing their minds, having wild guesses for HOURS until Yamato started calling the police, Miyako and Koushiro trying to ask the Chosen Network, Sora and Jou trying so desperately to keep everyone CALM but getting headaches, Mimi teasing Hikari even more with the idea of the three boys being on a mixer in secret, Ken and Iori just believing Noel might be lying to them about further details WHEN…!

The door opens. Taichi, Daisuke and Takeru come in with snacks and a cake. It was a surprise for Hikari but all they see is CHAOS AND EVERYTHING BURNING. (No, the digimon didn’t set things on fire, they were just also arguing between each other about what happened to the trio and Agu-Vee-Pata too)

Yamato SCREAMS “WHERE DID YOU GO TAKERU!? WHY DIDN’T YOU MESSAGE ME THIS MORNING!?” – Takeru answers he was out with Taichi and Daisuke, but then Daisuke squints at Taichi, who was the one supposed to gather everyone for the surprise PARTY AND….

Nope. Taichi forgot to send the message talking about HIKARI’S SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY to everyone but Hikari herself. Hikari then smirks at Mimi, “See, they weren’t on a mixer, I know none of them would enjoy that kind of activity!!”

Everyone is now staring at Taichi. So, the important thing Taichi wanted to tell them was that? Oh it was to celebrate Hikari’s birthday (Sept 26) and HE DID NOT SEND THE FRIGGIN MESSAGE!? Taichi protested that it was too late and he was tired from work.

Crisis averted, they had a double feature party – one for Hikari’s birthday, and one to introduce Noel into the group.

The End.

[espectres]

' ... shou-kun. ' a flush in his cheeks as the angel flutters and descends. black feathers shed and the niwa's self-made stage seems to be readied this way, dark's violet receding back into daisuke's red as he removes the tall, decorated top hat from his head. he plainly expends every effort not to hide the boyish flush of his cheeks behind the accessory, his eyes nevertheless shining no less than illuminated jewels, as blissful as bashful, the light of them bouncing off of every complex, golden accent that accompanied the rich style of his clothing. although he had sworn to himself that he would be brave, standing before shou and decorated in another one of dark's dramatic choices still carried a hint of embarrassment with it. even so, his family had considered it a necessity for the occasion, and after a fluttered-cape twirl and bow, a blast of confetti bursts from the apparent empty inside of the hat with a loud, thrilling pop.

' --- happy birthday ! '

performances like this were one of a kind, witnessed by no one save for only the most select audiences. putting his arm into the inside of the hat, daisuke plainly rummages within at a depth far deeper than any ordinary logic should have allowed. he digs up to his elbow, until, judging by his expression, his fingers seem to finally gasp at what he's been searching for. cards? doves? none of the above. he nigh comically pulls out an enormous stuffed rabbit out from its tiny makeshift burrow, one dressed in a well-done replica of shou's most readily recognized varsity jacket, candies stuffed into its pockets to every brim, a ribbon and attached sealed letter bringing its welcome to completion. 'hello! i've come from the moon,' the elegant script inside would explain, ' where my friends and i sang and danced all day. i'm here to do the same with you, because someone was worried you might feel left out, or start to get lonely. '

the gift of shared rabbits between them, he hopes, was not too poor of a choice. nevertheless, he wasn't finished. with much less struggle, a fresh bouquet is also carefully retrieved. the velvety scent of roses blankets the air in an instant; pink, white, and red mingling with baby's breath, deep greens, and a small collection of sketchbooks carefully embedded into the floral ensemble, the first visible front of which was decorated by various yokai and ghosts to hopefully suit its recipient's tastes. certainly, it had been within the niwa's intention to grandly spoil. ' i ... we thought about a lot of things. dark and i, over what to get you, or what we could do for you. ' in the end, beyond the gift of something that would last and something that wouldn't, they had both agreed that simply spending time, and being grateful for one another's births and the privilege of their meetings, might have been the best. ' ... so i'm not just here to deliver, but also to invite. '

his heart pounding, the sensation of it immense and overflowing, with the motion of someone used to snatching calling cards out from some miraculous pocket, his fingers produce a set of amusement park tickets in an instant instead. an exquisite tenderness remains in his expression even as he endures every usual symptom: the burn of his skin, the soaring weight in his chest, transforming him into the great phantom thief again, though without any fear or terror. not before the one he loved and wanted to love; the one he, more than anything, wanted to dedicate even more of the precious time of his life to.

' how about it, then? can i steal you away for the day ? '

CELEBRATION HAS NEVER BEEN REALLY GRAND. With what has been made of his family and the ever changing currents of their lifestyle, such things as marks on the calender could only get pushed to the back of the mind as other events took place, and forced life to move much faster than his careless and often forgetful brain could process, let alone celebrate. There were years when this time of the year mattered, far back in the line of his memory, but much closer it was different. And truly? He didn't mind, he never did, with the difficulties that broke havoc through the life that he has known for himself and others who could possibly care, what can he expect? A text over the phone was more than he could ever ask for, and he never did. 

Eyes widen further as the confetti pops out of seemingly nowhere, snatching him out of the dumb trance of sheer enchantment that overtook him upon witnessing the angel thief's grand descent. The glimmering gold and the feathery black and how Daisuke's eyes reminded him of early morning stars trying to burn such a bright red, gleaming and beautiful in the last hour before the inevitable outshine by the brightest sun. He reaches out a palm for the tiny colourful papers and a few land onto his grip. A blissful grin grows against red dusted cheeks, the colour a courtesy of the cold December weather and every bashful and lovestruck emotion. He is sure nothing can ever outshine these eyes.

His head tips to the side curiously, grin still intact even as confusion makes itself visible in the slight furrow of his eyebrow. Tricks by the confidently powerless were always impressive, there was no questioning Daisuke's lack of anything otherworldly, aside from literally being cursed, but that was different- and thus there was no questioning his fascinating talent. Shou finds himself chuckling at how comically deep that hat was, ❝ Dude ... ❞ now how was Daisuke even doing all this? Shou could only gape and wonder as a plushie so ridiculously large gets pulled into existence and handed to him and oh, what the hell. He holds it at arms length, taking in the adorable look and the soft textures and the undeniably familiar jacket and the fact that it is real, that it has just came out of such a small fancy top hat and it's now in his hands and one could swear that sparkles of pure wonder could almost be seen with how absolutely awestruck Shou is. 

A wave of joy so enormous washes over the young Suzuki, it almost surprises him and his first instinct is to stifle his overjoyed cackles into the stuffed animal's soft body. ❝ It's so squishy ... ❞ He tells the replica jacket and the soft fake fur because he doesn't know if the weak words would reach Daisuke through them, but he really hopes they do and even if they don't he is sure this isn't the last time he'd be saying these silly things. Candies start falling from the full pockets with how tight he's hugging the thing, as though he could hold it strong enough and all the love stored in such a simple gift could seep through the contact right into his heart, even if it meant it could burst like a fickle heart shaped balloon and just kill him right then and there. His face partly shows, now red as the strawberries on candy wrappings. ❝ His name is Moko. ❞ He decides without deeper thinking, despite the embarrassment of confessing such details which he'd usually keep to himself and probably carry to the grave that way. But he needs Daisuke to know, he needs him to understand.

Flowers between them wasn't something entirely new, getting to know the sappiest parts of himself which liked the notions of classic romance seemed a little out of place, but it doesn't make the bouquet any strange nor less treasured as steps closer and takes it into his hands, as he searches and finds thoughtfulness embedded into every detail and every little thing and it all hits him right in the heart and all of a sudden he's dangerously close to what he recognizes as tears, he isn't sure if he could hug Daisuke now or later, it's still hard to expect this level of care from anyone, but it arrived in front of him anyhow and he can’t help but be overjoyed and overwhelmed and everything but over it. 

He places the oversized rabbit on the ground with a little too much haste, tiptoes to wrap an arm around the now much taller Niwa's neck and pull him down with a little too much force, because he has always been that way and maybe he doesn't know why he deserves all and any of this, but he is still trying to do better and it shows, in the form of lips to cheek, so soft in the way so many things about him aren't, but so intense like everything else has always been.

Could he ever truly express how much it all means to him? How does he ever deserve this? How does anyone? 

❝ Haven't they taugh you to be more careful with your heist ? ❞ He pulls back just enough to find the bright eyes and bask in their brave shine and offer a tease in the phantom thief's language, he briefly wonders if this is how it'd always feel like being with one, so whimsical and dramatic and true and so horribly sappy.

He'd definitely bring that up later, ask Daisuke if he's actually trained for such a performance and for how long, pester him to get some magician secrets to slip, ask him if he could take a photo of him in the extremely fancy outfit and watch adoringly as the sweetheart visibly flusters at the idea- for now Shou simply laughes incredulously, pulling closer and hugging the daylight out of his heart's thief, the culprit behind all of his rightfully stolen affection. ❝ You're gonna end up killing me. ❞

[dnangelic]

" Fyuga thinks.. the reason Fyuga wants to try to blend in so bad is because Fyuga still feels like an outcast. " Sullen. Hands are placed firmly on her lap as she stares ahead blankly at nothing in particular. A nice, quiet day in the park with not a cloud in the sky. The sound of other children playing nearby fill the air, with their parents having their own conversations while dogs bark and chase each other.

" Can't explain why.. Just feels like that. Like Fyuga isn't... 'human' enough to be with them. Playing... " " Ever since some other kids made fun of Fyuga, Fyuga's been trying to be more normal. Fyuga doesn't know if they'd like her, still... "

@paraleech

shock . silence . his heart starts to hurt like it were enduring the aftermath of someone hitting it with a mallet , all leaking cracks and a dizzying , worrying sense of sinking .

--- what could he possibly say to that ?

they're questions and worries that perpetually plagued him too . badly before his fourteenth birthday , worse after it and his bizarre genes had manifested dark . the truth was always right there , waiting to be either witnessed or confronted . neither he nor dark were normal , dark had said once before . they never would be , always one-of-a-kind and lonely , and fyuga was the same .

he can't think of even the first way to try begin explaining anything . daisuke's lips part . his mouth seems to open , but no sound comes out of it --- he can't say anything , because he can't think of anything , because there was nothing . nothing but the sound of happiness and friendly bonds that found no strings attached to them , blissful lives that they weren't a part of .

... the fear that some sort of happiness had been robbed from her because she had been taken in by a family of criminals returns in full force .

' i'm ... sorry , fyuga . ' choking on his own whisper , his head lowers , and his fingers , in the small , white-knuckled round of his fist , clench . it's tightly enough that he keeps himself from slipping out any tears , though his expression remains delicate enough that he might have burst into them at any moment --- even the slightest , cast-pebble thought .

he's been chased by strangers . he's been chased by so-called friends . he's been chased by the police . he's even been chased by monsters , jealousy seeking the black-winged monster inside of him . shelter beneath the niwa's mansion would always carry at least a hint of danger for as long as it was also dark's nest . it was taking an underground side where elsewhere , maybe she might have been able to have better instruction , and learn how to better fit in .

what everyone in his family , even himself , would end up teaching her --- was only how to lie .

' but ... you can always try , right ? ' it's what he wanted to believe in , anyways , even if the words made him azumano's finest hypocrite . stupid , useless , depressed loser . frightening , abnormal , freak of nature . ( who would ever want to be friends with you --- ? the real ' you ' , if they knew . )

' because ... maybe if you don't give up , you'll find someone . someone who wants to be your friend more than anything , no matter what other people think . ' was it fine to say that he himself was still looking --- ? ' until then ... '

he takes timid , tender hold of her hand , his grasp cold and ever-so-slightly shivering . ' it's okay . you don't have to change all at once , and maybe those aren't the right people , anyways . for me , as long as it's fyuga ... ' who knew both of his names ; both of his bodies and their faces , and never fled in horror from either of them , ' i like you . '

he tries not to confess with too much guilt or shame .

' and i don't ... want you to feel like you're alone . '

A Summoner Birthday

Previous post: https://pof203.tumblr.com/post/727403381284651008/a-summoner-birthday

Battle ahead.

Enemies:

Fire Angel

Water Angel

Wood Angel

Preselected Characters:

Lupin

Wakan Tanka

Oniwaka

Taurus Mask

Zabaniyya

Selected Support Character:

Triple Agent Mineaki

Story (Chapter 12 Part 3)

This isn't working. Sorry.

What do we do? They just keep coming no matter how many we take down.

Lupin: It's the Fisher King's power. He can keep bringing back others.

This is bad. Without Lupin's Sacred Artifact, he can't use his Rule to stop this.

The Fisher King: ...

Looking at the Fisher King, you suddenly remember Mr. Mononbe's words.

Trust in yourself. Trust in others.

Lupin: ... Wakan Tanka, Oniwaka, Taurus Mask, Zabaniyya. I've thought real hard and about it and in my heart, I have made my decision about what you said.

Wakan Tanka: (confused) What is it, My Lupin?

Lupin: ... Yes, you can join the Summoners.

Four of them: (surprised) You mean it?!

Lupin: Yes. Oniwaka, Zabaniyya, you also saw Yog-Sothoth's memories and know that in his memories, in that loop, you were members of our Guild and now you want to be in this one. And I say go for it. I've seen how in this loop you would go far to help me. Oniwaka, you are wiling to sacrifice anything and everything for my safety and I know it's because, in truth, you have a kind heart. That's something you don't see everyday. I think you would be a great edition to the Guild.

Oniwaka: (crying, but smiling) Lupin... That's... That's the nicest thing you've ever said. You really care about me that much.

Lupin: Zabaniyya, I showed you what freedom is. But freedom can't be without the law. Something to make sure we don't end up abusing that freedom. I know Shiro does that, too, but you do so in your own unique way.

I never would have found that balance if it hadn't been for you. I'm glad Kengo made me fight and I'm glad Ryota's Sacred Artifact clashed with mine. That was the happiest I've ever been.

Lupin: Israfil, I don't know if you can hear me inside of Zabaniyya, but when I showed you that your music can also be a beginning and not just an end, I meant it. If a story has no ending, he can a new one begin? We could always use more music in our Guild.

Thanks, Lupin. I can conduct music for you guys anytime. Just say the word.

Lupin: Taurus Mask (Daisuke), you consider me your soul brother, but I know we can be closer than that, especially if you let more people in. You possess a strength that many of us Summoners are still searching. You can help us find it.

Soul Brother... Lupin... You're right. I also have strength from you and all those around me. You make me strong and I do the same for you.

Wakan Tanka: I suppose you have somthing to say about me.

Lupin: I think I already did that day when the Invaders made their move. You have great love for others. I've seen how far you are willing to go for them and they all did the same in return. Whether you are the captain of the football team or the World Representative of Great Spirit, you, Wakan Tanka, are a great force of love.

Wakan Tanka: Our Lupin... Our Heyoka... You are, too.

Tears were running down Wakan Tanka's face. But one of the streams was a dark liquid... That's when you know the other was touched by your words, as well.

You go up to where your sword is still in the stone. But you now know something.

Lupin: A true leader knows that it is wise to listen to what his followers have to say, but they must also listen to their heart. I want Wakan Tanka, his infinite self, Oniwaka, Taurus Mask, Zabanniya, and Israfil to join the Shinjuku Summoners... Because I love them all. And I know they love me. And I also know my Guild loves them, too, just as much as they love each other... And it's that love that will help me now.

You take the sword by the handle and pull... But it's not stuck anymore. Then, with one mighty pull... You pull the sword from the stone.

The Fisher King: ...

You could tell that the Fisher King was smiling inside.

Lupin: Together?

Four of them: (happy) Together!

Lupin: Role of the Wanderer. Rule of Rending.

Wakan Tanka: Role of the Warrior. Rule of Defense.

Oniwaka: Role of the Stalwart. Rule of Appropriation.

Taurus Mask: Role of the Hero. Rule of Accession.

Zabaniyya: Role of the Torturer. Rule of Hellfire.

Five of you: Engrave mine name unto thee...

Boundless Tail!!

Good Red Road!!

Ravenous Hunter!!

Room-Dividing Bull!!

Yaheem Shegara!!

The battle begins...

To be continued...

𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝟎𝟎𝟑: 𝐈𝐰𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐤𝐞

"What is this place? I wouldn't be caught dead in it. It's so dull~"

𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨

Name: Iwamoto Daisuke / 岩本 大助 (His last name means "(one who lives) near or on the stone" and his first name means "big help".)

Status: Prisoner 003

Gender: Male

Age: 27

Birthday: May 18 (Taurus)

Height: 178 cm

Blood type: O

Image color: #00FF7F

Occupation: Entrepreneur

Personality: Daisuke is playful and laid back. Despite having woken up in Milgram with no memory of how he got in, he doesn't seem worried at all. He's even trying to befriend the warden, Haruto! But who knows? Maybe this is just a front he's putting up.

He's rather friendly as well, having no problem with greeting people and starting conversations with them. He doesn't give nicknames per say, but he does call men "bro" and women "missy" often.

If anyone asks him about his crime though, he surprisingly goes quiet, a dull look glazing over his eyes. He excuses himself after a short silence. Seems it's a sensitive topic.

𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨

Which canon Milgram song he would cover: Half (Laughing together, side by side; This distance in our relationship is misleading me; Is this what happiness is?) (HAHAHAHA One of these songs is not like the others~ Have fun wracking your brains trying to come up with theories to explain this.)

Which DECO*27 song he would cover: Mousou Zei

If he could cover a song by a different Vocaloid producer, which one would it be: Shanti by wotaku (I mean, he was literally inspired by the character in this song so-)

His MV description: His MV would primarily have deep red and blues with occasional appearances of neon green. It's always nighttime.

The MV starts with Daisuke walking along empty streets at night. The moon hangs high in the sky. He comes across a man sitting by the sidewalk, head in his hands. Daisuke kneels down and puts his hand on the man's shoulder. The man continues to hang his head. Daisuke offers him some orange candy to cheer him up.

The camera cuts to Daisuke entering a bar. People are drinking, talking and laughing all around. The bartender pours a glass of sake. Someone is drunk enough to dance on a table.

Daisuke pulls the man over for a drink. The night goes on. More drinks. More candy. More money. A black-haired man by the bar appears between each shot of the aforementioned items.

It's dawn. Daisuke holds up the bill for the man to see. The numbers are covered with "X"s so we don't know the exact numbers of the bill but there are many x symbols. The man pales.

"Can't pay? Well..."

Daisuke leads the man to another room. The door closes. MV ends.

𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬

-- 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬

(Laid back) My name is Iwamoto Daisuke. I'm 27 years old and an entrepreneur. Warden! You seem like a fun guy. Wanna have a chat?

(Resigned) S** y*u l**ter, p*r*ne*.

-- 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫

Your fee is this much.

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚

Murder is not his only crime, but he only has one murder victim.

His favourite colour is neon green.

His favourite food is shrimp dumpling. He also likes sake.

His hobbies are gambling and playing pool ball.

He smokes once every night like it's routine. He's the only one of the prisoners that smoke. (No smokers group for him oof)

𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬

I cannot draw. So picrew saves the day once again!

I find it funny how my first three milgram ocs had half-body shots as their pictures, then all of a sudden this guy comes in with a close up of his beautiful face.

[ex-machiina]

prompt: rhythm [day 6 of 7]  aka the Michi COYOTE UGLY au. aka the AU no one asked for but i’m doing anyway.

For his friend Daisuke’s birthday, law student Yagami Taichi is dragged out to one of Tokyo’s most notorious bars: Coyote Ugly. The floors are sticky and the décor is gaudy, grungy western but the women behind the bar are beautiful. One of them in particular: the one with a pink rhinestone rimmed cowboy hat, leather pants and shining brown eyes. He watches as some fast-fiddling country song comes on and she, along with the other women, hop on top of the bar and start to line-dance at a breakneck speed, all the more impressive for their high heels. He is spellbound as Pink Cowboy Hat rolls her hips, her body fluid and in perfect rhythm with the music. He can’t tear his eyes away for a second.

Later, when he surreptitiously slinks his way to the front of the line, he first asks her name (Mimi) and then asks her out as she pours him a Johnnie Walker. He knows he is just one of many men who will attempt but hey, he has to try. She laughs prettily, winks a practiced wink, tells him she can’t date customers. He slides his yen back into his wallet – what if he doesn’t pay? Can she date thieves?

She laughs more, he pays, and accepts that it’s not going to happen. But he continues to show up once a week or so. He loves to watch her dance, relishes the occasional opportunity to chat with her at the bar, and particularly loves the nights when she takes the microphone and sings for the bar. She has a beautiful voice, rich like honey. It’s the only time he experiences the usually raucous crowd slowing down.

One night, to his utter surprise, when she serves him his drink she also slides over a slip of paper with her phone number. They go out on one date, then two, three, four and he gets to know everything about her. Her refreshingly positive attitude on the world. Her aspirations to become a singer. How her parents didn’t support her – so she was out here on her own, trying to make it in the big city. How she is grateful for her job at Coyote Ugly – and she doesn’t feel demeaned, she feels empowered. She is proud of her sexuality. It’s not forever, but she likes it. Especially because it pays triple what she’d make anywhere else.

They continue dating and life seems so much sweeter. She bakes Taichi cookies when he’s studying for law exams and he helps her record singing demos. They are both supporting each others dreams. But - they are not without their fights. They are on opposite schedules for free time and seeing each other can be a challenge. Taichi gets jealous of hundreds of men ogling his girlfriend on a nightly basis. They almost break up over this, but she assures him that she loves him, only him. But he has to trust her. Does he trust her?

He trusts her.

(And, one night, she even teaches him the line dance to ‘The Devil Went Down to Georgia’. Though, he does not look nearly as good in leather pants).

note: the other night i had a dream about coyote ugly and i woke up and messaged zoe immediately and was like…. michi coyote ugly AU? she encouraged me and here is this silliness, lol. also ty zoe to your tweak on one of the pics!

[ MLQC ] Lucien’s Fanfic: Truest Color

Several times ago, I was writing a fanfic about Lucien several times. I was so moved by Hirakawa Daisuke’s version, which is, for me, there’s so much emotion and fragile side of him.

This time, I rewrite it in English. I made this as a birthday gift for him.

Happy birthday, Lucien.

I've always wondered why in front of Lucien's villa there is a bird’s cage which always empty. This man, why it is always difficult to predict his thought? I assumed, maybe he had an obsession, he used to want to locking things up but then he canceled the intention. But why?

 I saw Lucien's smile as he opened the door. That afternoon, she wore a flashy red sweater with brown trousers that matched her tall body and fair skin. His hair was neatly combed, as if he had just shaved.

  “Welcome home,” he showed his smiling eyes.  He opened the door wider to let me in.

 I felt embarrassed to hear the welcome. If I remember correctly, he was... more specifically Ares was—in the winter world, once offered to let me stay here. He in this world had also offered me a stay here just in case I got tired of hustle bustle Loveland.

 I remember, the first time I entered this villa, it was when we broke up for the first time. It was raining heavily. There is so much pain in my heart. The atmosphere of a cold house with colors only from scattered paper cranes. So sad, like my heart was broken into pieces.

 "Why are you absent minded? Silly girl, come on in," said Lucien again. He instead pointed to the bunny house slippers by the door. His smile grew again.

  "Why did you told me to come here?" I said confusedly. I took the house slippers to wear. The refreshing scent of the air freshener immediately wafted into my nose. I was surprised to see the house at this time. In addition to the projector and large screen in the living room, there is a new corner for tea drinking. Two cute oriental pillows are seen there. Considering Lucien was always alone, the corner took me a bit.

  "Come here," he called.

I walked over to Lucien to the corner for the tea. He then poured hot water into the cup, brewing tea.

"This is the kind of silver needle tea that's popular these days," he said, "Try it, there's also your favorite cake."

  "You haven't answered my question," I said, slightly annoyed. I memorized Lucien's habit of twisting the conversation until my head was dizzy. Instead of getting dizzy first, I just asked.

  "Why did I told you here?" he chuckled, “Hm, It’s been so long since you didn’t come….”

 My cheeks heat up instantly.

 “I mean, I've been wanting to try using this tea table for a long time. I have no choice but to summon this cute silly girl in front of me.”

  "Stop teasing me," I really wanted to hide my face at that time. Immediately, I covered my face with the file I brought with me earlier.

 "Sorry, it seems I'm too used to teasing you," Lucien laughed again, "Yesterday, I happened to be staying here. When you called me earlier, I thought you might as well meet here."

  "Oh."

  "Do you mind?"

  "No, of course not."

 "Then drink it first. We can talk about the new show over tea here. There are more collection of books and movies here. You can read or watch movies for reference.”

 “Th… thank you very much,” I lowered my head, actually more to hide a face that I thought was already as red as a tomato. Watching movies at Lucien's house usually ends with me staying at his place all night. This is not very good!

 "So, in this episode, we will discuss the influence of color on human psychology?" Lucien frowned, "This is quite a difficult matter."

  I gulped then put and pushed the folder on the table towards Lucien, “I'm sorry. I feel bad asking you for help, but, but….”

 Lucien laughed, took the folder and started to flip through it, “This is an interesting topic, really. Some people saying, color can cause an attraction that makes people passionate about something. That said, the illusion of color can also affect one's emotions."

 I looked down again. Suddenly, I remembered the tale of the artist and the butterfly. The more I got to know Lucien, the more I understood the metaphor behind the artist and the butterfly. The artist who being stunned by the color of a little butterfly. The artist was fascinated by the first colors that filled his world.

  “I…” I bit my lip, “Do you really want me because of the colors you see in me? Or do you still want me as the almighty Queen?”

  For a moment, Lucien was silent. He put the folder on the table, stood up, then approached me. There was a strange glint in his eyes as he looked at me. For a moment, my mind imagined Lucien's world when I wasn't around. Black, white, gray....

  “Do you want an answer from Ares or from Lucien?”

  “I just… don't want to speculate,” I replied quickly.

  Lucien sighed. For a moment, I seem to see Ares back and felt a strangle on my neck. Another moment, I saw the Lucien I remembered among the pills in the lab. My mind and heart were racing until my chest suddenly felt tight.

  "Do you really want to know?" his voice turned soft. In an instant, I was drawn to his arms... I sensed his  grassy scent. I closed my eyes. I feel the warmth around me. The sound of his breath sounded so close to my ears. Soft... so immersive that it felt like I could lose my sanity just to be in his arms like this.

  “I… only want you. Can't that be?"

Fighting Spirit! Snow Man

A passionate heart silently burning behind their smiling faces...

With the annual play “Takizawa Kabuki ZERO 2022” being on stage starting in April, we asked Snow Man about the fighting spirit they don’t usually get to show.

Raul

My fighting power: 2 stars

In the first place, I think I don’t have that much fighting spirit and thoughts of “I want to win”. There is no right way to perform in this kind of work, and there is no 1st or 2nd place. I think it would be nice if we could stay true to ourselves.

I would do my best in this part in “Takizawa Kabuki ZERO 2022”!

At any rate, “Takizawa Kabuki” is a challenge of stamina. That’s why I want to win this mental and physical fight. One of my problems is that I become cold and blunt to other people once my mental state weakens and I lose my composure. Everyone is really working hard so I would be happy if you could warmly look after us and send us cheers of encouragement.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meguro Ren

My fighting power: 5 stars

Not just 5 stars, but probably about 7 stars. I do think that it would be over for me if I lose my fighting spirit. I also aim to pause and think, and not get too heated up during things like discussions.

I would do my best in this part in “Takizawa Kabuki ZERO 2022”!

I thought “this season has come again”. Takizawa Kabuki is an important place for us so we intend to face the challenge of presenting something new while firmly keeping the core of the work. Like how the senpais before us did, I want to make a performance that will make even the kouhais we’re sharing the stage with feel something while watching us.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Abe Ryohei

My fighting power: 5 stars

My individual fighting ability isn’t much, but I reach the maximum because SnowMan compensates for my lack of it. With these 9 members, it feels like we can show our fans a new landscape.

I would do my best in this part in “Takizawa Kabuki ZERO 2022”!

Last year, I was very frustrated that some performances were canceled because of the corona pandemic. I’m praying that we can finish all the performances this time without incident. And also, with the chivalrous spirit that all performers who take on the challenge of Takizawa Kabuki possess, I will give my best to provide energy to everyone in the world.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miyadate Ryota

My fighting power: 4.5 stars

I hate losing. Red, my member color, might be imbued with fighting spirit. But lately, I’ve started to think that it depends on what you perceive as winning or losing. I try to see the good side.

I would do my best in this part in “Takizawa Kabuki ZERO 2022”!

I like the world of “Takizawa Kabuki”, and I spent a long time learning in that place. We treasure the fact that we are inheriting Takizawa Kabuki from Takizawa (Hideaki)-kun in its ZERO form, and I will do my best so that feeling is conveyed to the audience. I am also most excited because I would probably learn something new this time too!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iwamoto Hikaru

My fighting power: 5 stars

My fighting spirit, the part that does a lot of things I want to do through willpower and stubbornness, is strong. I don’t want to use “I have no time” as an excuse so I finish what I want to do even if I have to cut down my time for sleep.

I would do my best in this part in “Takizawa Kabuki ZERO 2022”!

Like last year, my birthday this year also falls on the day after the last performance for Takizawa Kabuki. That’s why I plan to work as hard as I can to enjoy my last stage as a 28-year old. It’s a totally different performance from the movie “Osomatsu-san”, so I want people to watch the movie in theaters and enjoy the gap between the two.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakuma Daisuke

My fighting power: 23 stars

It’s because I want to enjoy everything. My fighting spirit comes from my ability to have fun. I want to keep improving my ability to enjoy and, in turn, make others enjoy too. 23 is a number that came to my mind through inspiration.

I would do my best in this part in “Takizawa Kabuki ZERO 2022”!

I think there are more people who think “Takizawa Kabuki? Is that SnowMan’s?”, and on the other hand, there are people who came to know SnowMan through Takizawa Kabuki and are anticipating the next stage play. I will give my best effort so that everyone from both groups can feel immersed in the worldview of the story.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Watanabe Shota

My fighting power: 1.5 stars

During today’s shoot, I realized that I don’t have much fighting spirit (laughs). I think I might have 3 or 4 stars before but I changed as the years passed. I am basically a pacifist, so I might not really like categorizing things into winning or losing.

I would do my best in this part in “Takizawa Kabuki ZERO 2022”!

I want to show my growth and dignity as someone who has been doing Takizawa Kabuki since his Jr. days and has now inherited the show. It has been 3years since we debuted. I have to make them think “they look magnificent on stage”. And, even though we are in times like this, I want everyone who bought tickets to safely enjoy the show until the end.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mukai Koji

My fighting power: 4 stars

It’s because I am never satisfied with the current state of things, and I’m always thinking of wanting to try something new. Even without putting my feelings into words, the fighting spirit I kept to myself is enough. I think I am greedy regarding work.

I would do my best in this part in “Takizawa Kabuki ZERO 2022”!

I have my fighting spirit born from the fact that we are inheriting a traditional stage, and it has always been my intention to work my hardest. I like the henmen performance (t/n: face/ mask change, a performance from classical Chinese theater) so I’d like to do that again if possible. I can do whatever facial expression I want inside the mask. I really like that I can go on stage without my face being seen! (laughs).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fukazawa Tatsuya

My fighting power: 5 stars

My fighting style isn’t the power type, but the type that has a good feel for when to retreat and when to attack. Like someone who hasn’t done anything but somehow wins. Actually, things just naturally go well.

I would do my best in this part in “Takizawa Kabuki ZERO 2022”!

We’re being allowed to be the main again this year so I will put all my strength to do the performance. It’s just that doing fukkin taiko is already getting tough that’s why I’ve thought of doing things like trying to ask Takizawa-kun to not include me in that segment (laughs). Please look forward to the gap between SnowMan’s live stages and this performance!

Bio:

Daisuke Fujimura comes from the well-off Fujimura family. He grew up vaguely familiar with the Shindo family, as his father was the head's lawyer. In fact, he came from a long line of lawyers for multiple rich families across Okinawa.

He would say his life was somewhat ordinary, always hardworking and doing anything to make his parents happy, but he also was restricted in what he could do. Still, he did it all with a smile. Even when he really didn't want to.

There was one girl he grew up knowing from a neighboring family, one from a prestigious family and her name was Minako. They were never close nor that great of friends, frankly Minako was far more outgoing and cheerful than Daisuke who was quiet and shy around other people.

Yet when they were seventeen, the two of them were told that they would have to marry each other to unite their families. Daisuke didn't want to marry Minako as he didn't even have feelings for her, while Minako wanted to be a figure skater instead of a lawyer's housewife.

Feeling especially bad her, seeing just how badly she wanted to be free from her family, he decided to help her run away to continue her career as a figure skater. All the while he would take the full brunt of the vocal assault from both their family.

He gave her a plane ticket to America, purchased a place for her to stay and a card under a fake name so she could get herself settled in without her parents able to track her movements.

When they found out Minako ran away, days away from turning eighteen where they planned to have them get married, both their families completely went off on Daisuke for being so 'careless' while his own family would continue to call her a 'daydreaming fool'. The price he paid for an innocent person's freedom was that his father and grandmother would have to live with him now so he wouldn't tarnish the Fujimura reputation even further. All the while facing the verbal assault from his father and grandmother with a smile, even after his mother had passed away in his early twenties.

Yet in his early thirties, he received a strange phone call. He was told that Minako had died in a car accident with her husband and left someone for him in her will. This someone was her daughter, Kairi. Daisuke wasn't sure what to do at first, it wasn't like he knew how to be a father, but he also felt horrible for the poor girl. She was only eight years old and didn't have anybody, he couldn't just abandon her. Still...why did Minako leave Kairi in his care?

While Kairi was on her way, he received a letter with his answer. Basically, she was so greatful to him for letting her live her dreams that she entrusted him with the sole custody of her daughter in case anything happened to her and her husband. It was sweet but...he never could understand why she'd be so greatful. He just helped her, was his own sacrifice really that meaningful to her?

Well, he brought Kairi to his home in Okinawa but his father didn't approve nor did his grandmother. Kairi not only had her mother's face but she had heterocromia, an imperfection that his father called a "sin of that girl's sin" while Daisuke thought it showed how unique Kairi was to the world.

He'd often leave Kairi to his father and grandmother while he went to work. He was currently working up to be a lawyer for the planned family head, Ainosuke Shindo. It was stressful because of how much the Shindo family was hiding behind the scenes, and he often needed Ainosuke's legal advice for some pretty strange questions.

He wanted to be there for Kairi, especially when he saw how much she suffered living under the cruel words that he'd gotten used to, but work came first. He'd slowly try to open up to her by hearing her play the piano he put in the house. She needed a sanctuary, a place to run away to the way he never could. Hearing her play was sweet, he could recognize she was playing songs from her father who was a famous singer.

He decided to join her one day, playing one of his favorite songs from her father. While he got to open up to her and tell her the truth of why Minako left her with him, he hoped it would make her trust him more as a father. It didn't completely work, but at least Kairi didn't ignore him when he spoke.

Eight years have flown by and he's beyond stressed and tired while he works for Ainosuke Shindo. He's currently under investigation by the Japanese government for multiple crimes and it's up to Daisuke to build a defense for his client in case they really do try to arrest him.

Yet he sees Kairi has taken up music and some other kind of hobby. He noticed she'd come home bruises and scratched but would refuse to give him a proper answer, where he followed her one night wearing a disguise.

He discovered she was participating in this "S" place, but he doesn't know his boss runs this place. All he saw was Kairi gracefully making skilled turns and jumps in the air. He always felt bad he couldn't take her to the city of Tokyo for an ice skating rink so she'd get to skate like her mother, but he could see she was happy skateboarding too. Besides, he hadn't seen her smile since the day they met in person but here? She actually cracked a smile. If this makes her keep smiling like that, he'll do anything to protect it.

He hasn't returned to S since then, he knows he'll get caught if he keeps going and he doesn't have any intentions of skateboarding. If she's having fun, all he can do is hope she'll be save when he hears her sneak out at night from her bedroom while he works late at night.

Daisuke is a soft spoken but somewhat social guy. He's a major pushover from his childhood so he'll often just smile and take it if someone insults him and treats him like utter garbage. Hell, it wasn't even his own idea to kick his father and grandmother out. They left on their own accord, glad for Kairi but it makes him guilty that he doesn't have a backbone strong enough to defend himself or his daughter.

He really does love and adore Kairi as if she were his own daughter. He's the kind of father who isn't there a lot physically, but he really does want to be a parent she can come to if she needs anything. Though none of that is working since Kairi still won't open up to him or even smile.

Though he's often stressed, tired but still pulling through. It isn't easy being a lawyer to a shady politcian, but being a lawyer in general isn't easy.

Though he's not interested in skateboarding, he wouldn't mind attempting to learn if it means that Kairi accepts him as her father. He knows he'll never replace her real father, but he wants her to know that you can have more than one parent.

I should post more links to my fic on here.

I decided to make these ones a miniseries of rumor use in P2is, which also kind of lead up to the Nazi invasion of Sumaru city in P2.

This one is through the POV of Daisuke Todoroki - (he's sort of alive beacuse and Kyouji made a deal thats kind of like Hitomi and Nemissa sharing her body, except its not going to burn out so fast as Kyouji is not a god) -about the Devil Summoners coming to Sumaru's aid against Nazis, with the following one the POV of Anna about everyone coming to Peace Diner to plan the defense.

And heck, it is november . An Eikichi one
