  The story takes place at Maigahara High School attached to Maigahara College of Music, also known as "Maimai". At this school, where students aspiring to become musicians gather, there is a rumor whispered by some students that they will receive a mysterious score by giving their best performance at the school festival. The source of the rumor is unknown, but students whose grade are not so well before the festival mainly participate. Like the other students, IRODORIMIDORI also decided to make their much-awaited appearance at the festival.

[thecosmicscribe]

can u like rename some of the yansim characters? their names are sooooo fuckin bad an i liked the names u came up with for oka an osoro

Sure, anon! The “punny” names are really stupid and not very creative. They’re not even proper Japanese names, unlike Hanako’s and Taro’s and Ayano’s.

I’m only going to be doing the rivals (except for the teachers) and the club leaders (except for the photography club), so if you want me to do other characters names, just ask!

I did a lot of research for these names, but some I got from @kokona-octodogs. Her renames are very creative!

Osana Najimi –> Teiko Niijima

Though I don’t really mind Osana’s name, I feel like it could be better. Besides, it won’t make much sense if put in the way Japanese names are put (last name, first name).

So, instead, I believe Teiko Niijima would be a good fit for Osana!

Teiko (貞子) means “upright child”. Upright means “strictly honorable or honest”, which I think relates to Osana’s personality very well. I see Osana as someone who doesn’t beat around the bush, someone who’s not afraid to be bluntly honest with someone.

Niijima (新島) is the name of a volcanic Japanese island in the Philippine Sea that is prone to earthquake swarms. Osana’s color scheme consists of warm colors and she seems like the type of person to have a shaky temper. So, this last name would be a perfect, subtle pun for our favorite tsundere!

Amai Odayaka –> Amai Hachimitsu

Amai’s first name is okay, since it is an actual Japanese name. Amai (甘い) does mean “sweet”. However, it’s…not a compliment in Japanese. If someone says you are “amai”, it means that you are being naive or shortsighted. Yikes, but Amai can mean other things if you use different kanji!

If you write Amai as 亜真愛, it will be the combination of “a” (”second”), “ma” (”real, genuine”), and “ai” (“love, affection”). The “real love” or “geniuine affection” can relate to Amai’s caring nature, while the “second” is a reference to her being the second rival.

As for her last name, I don’t think Odayaka would work. It’s more of a word than a surname, which makes her whole name kinda weird. Imagine meeting someone named Naive Gentle or Shortsighted Gentle! Instead, I think Hachimitsu should be her surname instead. Hachimitsu (蜂蜜) means “honey”, which alludes to Amai’s role as the cooking club president.

In short, I think Amai Hachimitsu would be a better fit for the second rival!

Kizana Sunobu –> Okuni Yūzaki or Himeko Yūzaki

Kizana is one of my favorite rivals, so I am very pissed off that she got stuck with such a stupid name! Good thing I got a few suggestions for her name.

I have two option for her first name: Okuni and Himeko.

Okuni (阿国) is a reference Izumo no Okuni, or Okuni of Izumo. She was the creator of kabuki theatre. This alludes to Kizana’s role as the drama club president.

Himeko (姫子) means “princess child”. Since she is a himedere, this alludes to Kizana’s personality perfectly!

As for her last name, I suggest Yūzaki!

Yūzaki (結崎) is the birth surname of Kan’ami Kiyotsugu, a renowned Noh actor. Again, this also alludes to Kizana’s role as drama president.

Instead of Kizana Sunobu, let’s go with Okuni Yūzaki or Himeko Yūzaki.

Asu Rito –> Yumiko Mizuno

Like many of the “punny” names, Asu Rito is basically “athlete” in Engrish. Though Asu is name, I feel like it doesn’t really suit her.

Instead, I think her name should be Yumiko Mizuno.

Yumiko (弓子) means “archery bow child”. Archery is a sport and I think it’s common for schools to have an archery club in Japan. This alludes to Asu’s role as the sports club leader.

Mizuno (水野) means “water field” or “water wilderness”. This alludes to Asu also being the swim team captain.

Oka Ruto –> Amaya Kuroba

If you already saw my post about my two cents on yansim, then you already know what name I think is better for Oka. Oka’s another one of my favorite rivals, but I never really liked her name. I always thought it didn’t really fit her, especially when I learned that her name was just a play on “occult”.

Amaya (雨夜) means “night rain” and Kuroba (黒羽) means “black wing”. It’s a pretty spooky-sounding name, perfect for our occult gal!

Therefore, Oka Ruto should change to Amaya Kuroba.

Osoro Shidesu –> Shinobu Tsuyoshi

Again, you probably saw this coming if you saw my two cents on yansim post. This name is probably the silliest out of all the rivals, which is not good for a scarily strong person like Osoro. It’s basically the phrase “I am frightening”, which is stupid.

Shinobu (忍) means “endurance” and Tsuyoshi (剛) means “strength”. This is perfect for a strong, tough girl like Osoro!

So, why not go with Shinobu Tsuyoshi instead of Osoro Shidesu?

Megami Saikou –> Kimiko Saikou or Noriko Saikou

Alongside Kizana and Oka, Megami is another one of favorite rivals. I actually find her name funny, since it basically means “supreme goddess” (Saikou, Megami) or “goddess supreme” (Megami Saikou). However, I found some first names that I think suit her more. She’s supposed to be a Mary Sue-type character, but she really isn’t a Mary Sue.

So, instead of Megami for her first name, how about Kimiko or Noriko?

Kimiko (君子) means “noble child”. This alludes to Megami’s high status and her role as the heiress to her family’s company.

Noriko (法子) means “child of law”. Since Megami is all about following the rules, I think this name would be perfect for her!

Kimiko Saikou is nice, and so is Noriko Saikou. What do you think?

Geiju Tsuka –> Aya Yoshida or Hiroshige Murakami

Geiju’s name literally means “artist”, which is too on the nose. How about Aya Yoshida or Hiroshige Murakami?

Aya (彩) means “color”, which alludes to him being an artist. After all, artists work with colors a lot.

Yoshida (吉田) is a reference to a 20th-century Japanese painter and woodblock printmaker named Hiroshi Yoshida, who was an important figure of the shin-hanga style.

Hiroshige (広重) is reference to another famous Japanese artist. This is the name of a ukiyo-e artist.

Murakami (村上) is yet another reference to a Japanese artist, this time to Takashi Murakami. He is a contemporary artist.

Gema Taku –> Takumi Kōzuki or Takumi Shigeru

I was so confused when I first saw his name, until I learned it was basically “game otaku”. Then, I got pissed.

How about we go with Takumi Kōzuki or Takumi Shigeru?

Takumi (巧) means “skillful”. I see him as a very skillful gamer, someone who can beat your ass at a game all while smirking like a smug asshole.

Kōzuki (上月) is a reference to Kagemasa Kōzuki, the founder of Konami.

Shigeru (茂) is a reference to Shigeru Miyamoto, a game designer of Nintendo fame.

Uekiya Engeika –> Tsubaki Fujita

Ugh, I cringe every time I see her name. It’s basically “gardener gardener”. How uncreative!

Why not Tsubaki Fujita?

Tsubaki (椿) means “camellia flower”. Tsubaki has an interesting meaning in Japanese folklore. The tsubaki is an evergreenn tree that does lose its flowers petal by petal, but rather dropping them all at once to the ground. Because of this, it’s been associated with death and strangeness in Japan. I see Uekiya as a sweet, hippie girl. She is seen as strange by her peers, since hippies can be strange sometimes.

Fujita (藤田) means “wistera field”. This relates to Uekiya being a gardener and how she spends most of her time at the gardening club.

Miyuji Shan –> Setsuko Yoshiki or Kotone Wakana

Miyuji’s name is supposed to mean “musician”. However, it looks so butchered that I didn’t even recognized it as Japanese.

Let’s go with Setsuko Yoshiki or Kotone Wakana, instead.

Setsuko (節子) means “child of melody”. Miyuji’s a musician, so this alludes to that perfectly!

Kotone (琴音) means “sound of a harp”. Miyuji was once quiet and soft before her transformation. The harp is a soft instrument, so this name references to her previous nature nicely.

Yoshiki (佳樹) is the name of the leader of a Japanese heavy metal band, known as X Japan. After her transformation, Miyuji became a total rocker. I feel she would enjoy heavy metal, so why not give a shout out to a leader of a heavy metal band?

Wakana (和奏) is a combination of “wa” meaning “harmony” and “kana” meaning “play music”. This also alludes to Miyuji being a musician.

Kaga Kusha –> Hayate Ishiguro

Another name that was created via Google Translate. Just…really?

What about going with Hayate Ishiguro?

Hayate (颯) means “sudden, sound of wind”. Kaga is a very eccentric person, so I feel he’s very capricious and wild, just like the wind.

Ishiguro (石黒) is the surname of Hiroshi Ishiguro, the director of the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory. His team created an android known as Actroid.
