ironina animatic aka satoru and suguru dream of what could have been if things played out differently (they dont lol!)
shoutout nilfruits your music makes me crazy apparently i had so much fun making this and its the first time i edited an animatic outside of clip so hopefully it looks nice OH YEA and here's the thumbnail i did it in like 4 seconds
could I ask how you got into nilfruits? I have NO IDEA where everyone found out all the character's names, and i'd love to know because i have a friend that's really into the mvs asdlkfnalsdfaf (thank you in advance if you do answer)
Thank you for the question! Short answer: I loved music videos and naturally started loving it after stumbling upon it on youtube! (I think it was also my sister's fault, who became obsessed some hours after I showed her some videos and told her about Flurry and Welter). As far as I know, most of the character's names come from Mr Nilfruits' twitter! A few of them I learned them from my sister reading his old tweets, then after I started making friends with other fans they taught me the ones I didn't know :)
Looong and not so helpful answer, just because I love talking about stuff like this:
I had recently started to actually get into vocaloid and want to find new songs (in september 2021! I'm a super recent fan :) ) and I specially loved fun and cool music videos (Zanelli, PARILA and Egorock were the ones I would watch the most, several times a day), but after like a month I started feeling Desperate for new stuff to watch (pictured below: a helpless vocaloid fan, completely unaware of the kind of world she just got herself into)
(the playlist has 206 songs right now but I keep forgetting to add new ones I find)
^ pathetic
I actually knew Traffic Jam since like the start of 2021 I think! I remember when the proseka cover came out people were so excited so I decided to hear it and thought "wait omg this is that song that's so good" :) I listened to it often and I had also seen fanart of Flurry and Welter but I was never interested enough to look it up. I also happened to watch a bit of the video while listening to music on YT Music but even then I didn't care enough to actually watch it... I also watched a bit of Ironina before that! :) I remember thinking "oh this looks like the Traffic Jam artstyle" (I hadn't watched it but I often got it recommended on youtube so I had seen the thumbnail several times). I immediately fell in love with Ironina and watched that little bit several times because the characters' personalities were sooo good... Then I never thought about it again
UNTIL one day I was scrolling youtube, absolutely desperate for new cool flower songs as you saw in those screenshots... And Traffic Jam showed up. I remember thinking, "...well. I watched a bit of it and it was nice. And I know this one has lots of fans. Surely this one will do it..... This will fill the hole in my heart......."
It did :)
I watched Traffic Jam, then went into mr fruits' channel and watched Haine & Kleine, found out from the comments that both were from a series, tweeted "that's scary why is there a whole lore", later found Ironina as I was scrolling, thought "ohh my god it's That video"...
Some days after I was talking about vocaloid with a friend and she brought up Nilfruits and Ironina! I think a big part of why I became a fan from the start was because I talked about it with him and saw that others enjoyed the videos as well :)
Then the full proseka Traffic Jam cover came out and I watched it with my sister, I talked to her about the videos and characters, showed her some videos, she got even deeper into it than I was, my friends got into it as well... then some months after I saw that the fans on twitter were super nice and friendly and started talking with them :) (back then I didn't know more than 5 people LOL right now there's so many fans over there, it's great)
...that's it I think! Sorry about writing a whole autobiography LOL I just like sharing this kind of stories so I took the opportunity. Thank you again for the question!
I’m a bit late to the party to make fan art (although when it was first released I immediately fell in love with it). I don’t usually create fanworks, but I had the urge to make some for 煮ル果実’s song and 明石 ‘s artwork. The song does speak to me a bit. Honestly, the whole series of songs and characters involved in it, but Iornina more than Traffic Jam or Haine & Kleine. I also used the chance to do a study. Links to the song(s) in the reblog because Tumblr hates exterior links.
I've had a lot of like. really specific hyperfixations (ie the differences between various adaptations of charlie and the chocolate factory, the Hamilton ensemble- not Hamilton the musical just the ensemble, early 20th century Chicago gangsters, ect), but I think one of my favorites is when nilfruits released ironina and I was so fixated on that song for like 3 months straight. my Instagram spam acct is named after that song, I submitted ironina fanart as part of my college application portfolio, I exclusively listened to that song and literally nothing else. I was very normal about it.
