There’s actually a bunch of seiyuu ik in this, at first these chars stood out a little … and then I saw Aimi and well, no matter what I will like her char. :)

There’s a lot of chars and it’s very 3D(?2.5?) heavy so … def gotta play on new phone… question is; to reroll or not? so far, I like Muni a lot,, I haven’t finished the anime tho and there might be more hmm 🤔

She kinda stands out too; Koiwai Kotori va, cute design but hard to tell what sorta char somehow..?

Otsuka Sae va .. tho this char loves dogs not rabbits :,D

Someone said I might like Rei also… hmm? Idk her well but her design is pretty :,) sm chars to learn aaa

Otsuka Ai Lyrics: Kurage, Nagareboshi (クラゲ、流れ星; Jellyfish, Shooting Star)

English translation and romanization below the cut.

ENGLISH

So much distance between us I miss you almost every single night But I can’t see you Somewhere in my mind

Are we a little out of sync? Do you even think About this starry sky The same way I do?

When I’m able to find a jellyfish, a shooting star Your name comes to mind I know every single bad thing about you And yet I still like you So much

I’m in love I guess that’s what you’d call it The more I try to forget you, the more I want you

Are you and I really that different? We can’t be together, no matter what I do

I can’t find a jellyfish, a shooting star And now I’m about to forget what you said to me If I had the strength to keep believing in a single thing Do you think I could continue loving you without it hurting so bad?

When I’m able to find a jellyfish, a shooting star Your name comes to mind I know every single bad thing about you And yet I still like you So much

International Song of the Month - May 28, 2017

BanG Dream! (Otsuka Sae) - Sorairo Days

[C] Soo, who’s going to believe me when I say I know the girl singing this? When I say know I mean I lived with her for 2 weeks in Japan. I was so shocked when I found this because we had lost touch and this explains why because she deleted her facebook. So a few weeks ago I thought I’d google her because she told us she wanted to be a singer and found that there’s an anime and the characters are modelled after all the girls in this band. I really need to watch the anime just for her, even if it is weird hearing her voice in an anime. With the amount of times I’ve listened to this the song has honestly grown on me I find it kind of catchy. I’m so happy that she’s accomplishing her dream!

[M] S and C have shown me Sae a few times now since they discovered that she has made it as a singer. I’ve known about Sae for several years because S would talk about the time she and C stayed in Japan with her and her family. The song is really catchy and I love the rocky kind of element to it. I am also super excited for Sae, even though I’ve never met her, that even so young she is realizing her dream and kept with it even though I’m sure the trek to get to this point couldn’t have been easy. I hope to see and hear more from her and her group in the future!

[S] OH MY GOD!! When C first found this we freaked out for a few hours. It is really so weird to see this because I also lived with her back when C and I were in Japan. I have pictures of myself, C, Sae and her family framed on my wall XD I am upset I haven’t been able to stay in touch with her but I am really so happy and proud she managed to go towards her dream! 

I am going to quietly cheer for her from the sidelines now and hopefully be able to get into contact with her again one day! I would really love to congratulate her in person and go back to Japan one day XD

[T] I’ve been hearing good things about Sae for 5 years now, so it’s really cool to see that this is where she’s gotten to so far. I can’t say I’m huge on the song, but I can see the potential in her and the people she’s performing with. I wish her luck for the future! She looks like she really enjoys performing.

Status Update: 19/09/17

HDD CHAN LIVED---------- GAMBARE HDD-CHAN!

THE HERO THAT WE DO NOT DESERVE IS ALIVEEEEEE!!

On a random note I have seen 3 NSFW work today on my dash already and I’m like:

:smugriko:

Yeaaahhhh - totally into the meme.

But seriously though, an update would be that:

I’m so deep into Otsuka Sae hell I’ve made another committment to follow and TL her blog, as you can see from my almost constant daily steams of updates.

They’ll be tagged under #osaeblog and if you have no idea who Otsuka Sae is: her twitter is here, and she voices Hanazono Tae.

I had a lowkey crush on her when she and Popipa performed at Charaexpo 2016, and I sank deep when she came back to perform in Charaexpo 2017.

The reason why I stood no chance against her?

After she full combo-ed the BanGDream! Anime OP at GaruPa (500+? Combo), her reaction of triumph and excitement just blew me away.

To quote Shuka and Yuja, what a dork, but a dork that can full combo GaRuPa, and with a smile that can match Aimi.

And her performance at Chara just blew me away too, I only had eyes for her (Sorry Aimi...) and she was just... she rocked my world.

I made a vow to always stand at the right side cause she performs at the right side from now on.

So there’s your status - and I am working on Uraraji and NozoEli still though, so your releases will still be as scheduled,

Thankfully.

Warmest Regards

Kuu

Otsuka Ai Lyrics: Kumuriuta (クムリウタ; clowdy song)

English translation and romanization below the cut.

ENGLISH

I stood still and everything went to waste I looked away, embarrassed that I ran away from it all If I would’ve been able to face you I would’ve believed in miracles

The cicadas buzz, almost echoing Like they’re singing-- are they dying? If I disappeared tomorrow, Would you be able to stay longer?

Sometimes I’m not even aware That I’m standing here

Cloudy sky, don’t cry   This is still just a checkpoint for me Cloudy sky, don’t cry   My heart is actually pretty strong

I could spend my days Drifting along But I’ve known for a while That the truth is empty

Hold your wounds and firmly promise me One more time-- don’t abandon yourself

Cloudy sky, don’t cry   At least believe your heart Cloudy sky, don’t cry   Someone’s out there waiting for you

I swim around the deep ocean And the watery voice I hear reminds me It was this dark on that rainy day There are two doors

Cloudy sky, don’t cry   This is still just a checkpoint for me Cloudy sky, don’t cry   My heart is actually pretty strong

Cloudy sky, don’t cry   This is still just a checkpoint for me Cloudy sky, don’t cry   My heart is actually pretty strong

I stood still and everything went to waste I looked away, embarrassed that I ran away from it all If I would’ve been able to face you... I would’ve believed in miracles
