Tinder in Real Life

Pairings: Harry Lewis x fem!Reader, Sidemen x platonic!Reader Word Count: 2k Warnings: Language some people may find offensive, sexual themes, recycled lines from Sidemen Tinder in Real Life because I'm not at all creative Request: Hey! Could you do reader x Harry imagine where the sidemen do a collab video with the reader who is also a big youtuber and Harrys celebrity crush. And during the video the reader is very flirty, leaving Harry a flustered mess when the flirting is directed towards him, but very jealous when its with any other sidemen.

The Sidemen were one of the biggest groups on YouTube and one that you were very familiar with. At the age of 23, you were a fair bit younger than some of its oldest members but yet you had a close relationship with JJ, whom you had met through YouTube.

You had started your channel when you were 17, just under four years ago, making makeup videos, which was a passion of yours when you were younger. Not that you were any good at it back then. Those videos quickly become unlisted when your channel started blowing up in late 2016, now nearing 20 million at the present time.

It wasn't long before you expanded your horizons and had started making different sorts of videos, including vlogs of your everyday life - which wasn't and still isn't that exciting in your opinion - and those where you just had a laugh, attempting to do stupid challenges that were so popular back then. It was those, however, that grew your channel. Your fans seemed to love them and so you gradually started to make more.

As your small channel began to grow significantly, it caught the attention of KSI, a member of the Sidemen, who reached out to you to for a collab. You were ecstatic. You couldn't believe it at the time, why would someone like KSI with 20 million subscribers want to collaborate with you? By that time, you couldn't exactly call yourself a small channel anymore, with almost 5 million subscribers but it still didn't make any sense to you.

You and JJ quickly bonded after filming together. You had a very similar sense of humour and interests. As the years went, the older boy became one of your best friends, the nature of your relationship being very teasing and flirtatious but the both of you knew it was a joke. It was just the way you both were.

Though despite having known him for nearing 3 years now, you had never met the rest of the Sidemen, with the exception of Simon, as he lived with JJ. Which is why when he texted asking you to collaborate with the Sidemen, you couldn't turn the offer down. You were a fan of the group and the content they were producing. You thought the videos that they made were exceptional, that they were pushing the envelope of the standard of content on YouTube and often found yourself excited for new videos.

He had explained that they were filming another of their 'Tinder in real life' but a YouTuber version with the likes of BambinoBecky and ChiWithAC. You were so excited. You were finally going to meet the rest of JJ's friends and you had the opportunity to be a part of a Sidemen Sunday.

You arrived at the studio the boys were filming at in the afternoon, finding and greeting JJ before he introduced you to the other sidemen in addition to Lux, Freezy and Stephen.

"And you've already met Simon." He finished.

"Yeah. Nice to finally meet you all. JJ tells me a lot about you guys." You laughed.

"Because that's assuring." Ethan pointed out with a chuckle, the other boys letting out agreements.

"Not all bad, I promise." You teased, winking at him. Ethan felt the blood rushing to his face, immediately becoming flustered and stumbling over his words. You found that you often had that effect on people as you could be very direct and flirtatious even when you didn't mean it. To you it was just friendly banter.

"Geez Y/N, stop flirting with people you met literally five minutes ago." JJ rolled his eyes.

"You sound a bit jealous, Jide." You smirked, a teasing grin spread across your face.

"Nah, allow it." There were eruptions of laughter around the room, coming from the boys. You were quick to notice Harry standing out of the way and was significantly quieter than the others, with what seemed to be a forced smile on his face.

Harry was in his own head, barely paying attention to what was going on around him. When JJ had told him that you were going to be in the next Sidemen video, he panicked. You were an accomplished YouTuber who he was quite fond of to say the least. Well, that would be an understatement, he had a fairly large crush on you. A crush that no one but Freezy and Lux knew about.

He knew that JJ had been friends with you for some time now but never considered the possibility of even meeting you. His anxiety acted as a barrier to even the thought of it. But he was currently in the same room as you and had said nothing more than a short 'hello'. He longed to have the confidence Ethan had to speak to you, even more so for you to look at him the way you were.

Already you were flirting with JJ and Ethan, something that caused a pit to form at the bottom of his stomach. He wouldn't admit it, but he could slowly feel the jealousy forming. Not that he had anything to be jealous about in the first place!

You continued to speak with the boys as you got your mic set up, telling them stories you were sure would embarrass JJ.

"Y/N, stop." The older boy whined. He could be like a child sometimes, but it was one of his more endearing qualities. He simply wouldn't be JJ if he wasn't.

"No, carry on." Simon laughed.

"Oh, don't worry, there's plenty more where that came from." You teased.

"I think it's time we started, don't you think?" Harry grumbled.

"Right." You smiled at the boy, who's cheeks became tinted red. He ducked to hide his face and walked around to stand in the line, hiding himself in the middle.

"Hi, I'm Y/N, I'm 23 and I'm from Y/H/T." You spoke to the camera once you were given the go ahead.

"I'm Simon, I'm 28. I like to practice safe sex."

"Always a good start."

"I could tie you to the bed, so you don't fall off." He finished with a giggle. You acted like you were pondering it for a moment before letting out a laugh and swiping right.

"I'm down for that." You teased. The boys all let out rumbles of laughter

"Hi, I'm Ethan, I'm 26 and kiss me if I'm wrong, but you're gonna swipe right."

"What would you rather?" You joked. Ethan shrugged his shoulders and walked closer to the board, sticking his head through with his lips puckered, eliciting a cry of protest from Harry that this wasn't allowed. You laughed and made an over exaggerated motion to swipe to the right, causing him to pout playfully but walked over to the right anyway.

"Hi, I'm Josh, I'm 28. KSI has a top ten single, but you're the only hot single I can see."

"Wow, that was smooth!" You said with a grin. "Definite yes from me."

"I'm Callum, I'm 26. Are you into fitness?" Freezy asked.

"Can't say I am." You replied, unsure of what turn this could take.

"How about you fitness dick in your mouth?"

"I wouldn't get too excited babes, I gag on my toothbrush." You laughed. "We could try though."

You swiped right on him, chuckling as you watched him let out a yes before joining Simon, Ethan, and Josh. You frowned slightly, a crease forming between your brows as you saw Harry whisper something furiously at his friend but ultimately got distracted by Vik stepping up to go next.

"I'm Vik, I'm 25. My ex-girlfriend always said I'd never do better than her, wanna prove her right?" You could hear the cries of the boys in the background, some scolding him, others laughing.

"Man actually said prove her right. Not wrong." JJ shrieked with a shocked look on his face, holding his head with his hands.

"You need to find someone for that." You snarked, swiping left on the boy, who shrugged and walked off.

"Damn! You got told!" Lux cackled.

"Uh hi. I'm Harry. I'm uh 25, no I'm not I'm 24." He stumbled. "Are you sure you're a muggle? Because that ass is magical."

"You should see how magical it can be." You spoke before cringing at yourself and laughing, swiping right to avoid a reply. The boy's face grew a bright shade of red, closely resembling the colour of a tomato.

"Geez, is that an offer?!" Freezy yelled from the right side. You laughed, observing how Harry whispered furiously to the boy to stop and winked at him once he had could see. Your laughter only increased as you watched JJ step up.

"I'm JJ. I'm 28 and are you a raisin? Cause you're raising my dick." The boy in question stood in front of you so confidently, hands clasped together in front of him so seriously that you just lost it. By the time you composed yourself, there were tears almost falling from your eyes.

"A* for effort." You laughed, swiping right eliciting a cry of success.

You had wrapped up filming your segment of the video, which conveniently was the last of the day. You found JJ who you spoke to whilst the other boys were otherwise occupied talking to each other.

"Cheers for coming, Y/N/N. You've been great."

"Anything for you." You joked.

"Don't tempt me." He laughed. You could feel eyes on you, eyes that were burning into your side. You turned your head to see Harry staring you and JJ down before looking away after being caught in the act, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

"Does Harry not like me or something?" You whispered to JJ, feeling self-conscious all of a sudden.

"Not that I know of." He frowned looking at the younger boy. "He can be a bit awkward at times and gets flustered a lot."

"Right." You agreed. You excused yourself before sauntering up to the boy in question, calling his name to snap him out of the daze he appeared to be in.

"Oh, um hey Y/N." He stumbled.

"Hi." You smiled gently. "I uh, I was just wondering, do you... have I done something to offend you?"

"Offend me? Why, uh, why would you think that?" He rambled.

"It's just... it's nothing, it's probably just me overthinking things." You waved it off, feeling like a complete idiot.

"I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that I don't like you. I don't not like you, in fact I really like you! Oh, um I mean I like you, you're very pretty." The boy couldn't stop rambling which made you laugh. "No, wait."

"You think I'm pretty?" You blushed interrupting him. Harry felt his mouth go dry, not being able to get anything coherent to come out. "Well, Harry, I really like you too."

"What?" His eyebrows shot up so far it was almost comical. "Really? So, you don't like the other guys?"

"What? No." You laughed. "That's absurd. Why would you think that?"

"You seemed very..." The boy trailed off, not wanting to offend you after you had admitted to liking him.

"Flirty?" You finished, causing him to nod. "I'm like that with everyone, I don't mean to be half the time."

"Oh."

"Well, how about you give me your phone number and when you finally grow a pair, you can ask me out?" Your confidence levels had shot up spontaneously.

"Uh, sure." His cheeks had become a dark shade of red as he passed his phone to you so you could put your number in. You kept looking up at him as you typed, putting your name under 'Y/N x' in his contacts before handing it back to him.

"Y/N! Come on! We're going to Nando's!" JJ called from the other side of the room.

"Call me." You winked. Your bottom lip was caught between your teeth and was currently the only thing from stopping the wide grin from spreading across your face. A grin that hadn't disappeared from your face for the rest of the day, much to the curiosity of JJ, who was disappointed when you refused to tell him why, or more appropriately who, had put the smile on your face.

Sea of Eternal Life Event

A brand new week long event, that coincides with the release of Senhime. It is the 2nd half of the 2 part event "Promise with the Ancient Sea". Consists of 3 main parts; Seacoast, Sea Exploring and Eternal Sea of Ruin. The latter is only unlocked on the 7th day after maintenance.

Seacoast

Eternal Tide: Tidal Power

After clearing all the story activities for each of 5 areas in Sea Exploring, you'll be granted a Tidal Power. Tidal Powers unlock buff effects, such as;

Travel 30% faster in Sea Exploring.

Enemies gain 30% decreased DEF.

Allies gain 10% increased ATK.

Have a 5% chance to defeat a boss before challenging it.

Paper dolls will farm an extra 18000 event currency per hour.

Eternal Tide: Sea Souls

Use Sea Souls obtained from bosses or the event shop to unlock passive effects and bonus stats for your team. All Sea Souls increase 2 bonus stats by random amounts. They can also unlock/upgrade passive effects, but which passive up to chance. Low grade Sea Souls have a chance to upgrade 0-2 passive effects while high grade ones have a chance to upgrade up to 0-4.

Max bonus stats you can gain is 100% for ATK, HP, DEF, Crit, Crit DMG and 100 for SPD.

(;w;) Due to time constraints, will not be providing translations of the passive effects. Please make sure you read the descriptions for them ingame when the event is live.

Sea Stories

Can reread the event story here.

Treasure Hunting

Paper dolls will farm event currency for you here, even when you're not logged in. However, the paper dolls will stop working after 12 hours if you don't claim all the event currency they've earned for you. At the start of the event you can earn around 200k/12hr and by day 5 you should start earning 2mil/12 hours.

While farming in Sea Exploring you may notice Treasure Maps among your reward drops. Treasure Maps increase how much event currency the paper dolls will farm for you on the next day of the event, eg any maps obtained on day 1 won't affect how much they'll farm until day 2 and so on.

Sea Exploring

Interface

If you didn't pay attention during the event tutorial ingame, then please take a few minutes to familiarise yourself with the interface.

To move around the map you can; 1) manually control the boat, 2) tap the icon for an activity you can see to auto travel to it or 3) open up the mini map in the top right then select an icon to auto travel to its location. Manually controlling the boat is extremely difficult due to it being impossible to turn without doing a full 360.

Under the mini map is a torii gate icon, clicking it will bring up a menu. On the right there'll be different areas you can quick travel to, first option is the Seacoast. On the bottom left there is a button that takes you to the event shop.

The yellow text above the lock team and auto buttons auto travels you to story activities. If it doesn't do anything, that means you need to unlock a new area to continue.

Exploring

We start in the north west area of the map. Other areas can be unlocked by manually going to borders and unlocking them, each area requires a specific Tidal Power to be unlocked. The south east area can be unlocked on the 5th day.

Can be done on auto. On auto the boat will only go to 2-3 of Sea Spirit Trails and alternate between them, if you've unlocked the middle area it'll always alternate between the same 2-2 bosses there. Even if you're right next to a Sea Spirit Trial or any other activity, even in a different area, auto will not take you to it.

Activities:

Story: Unlock event story and clear battles with Suzuka, Yao and Senhime.

Sea Spirit Trial: Defeat bosses for rewards, costs 1 event AP to do solo or co-op. Every time you defeat a boss within 10 turns a new stage will be unlocked, there are 10 stage in total. Stages difficulty is only shared with bosses within the same area. The higher the stage, the better the rewards (eg. stage 1 gives ~40000 event currency while stage 8 give ~90000). They also have a chance to drop low grade Sea Souls.

Ootakemaru bosses in the south west and middle areas give the most event currency (~100000).

Sea Monster Trial: Defeat Kraken, Angry Kraken, Namazu or Shinkiro for similar rewards you would normally get from Kraken in regular PVE. Shares stage difficulties as the Sea Spirit Trials within the same area, but get slightly less event currency than in Sea Spirit Trials. They also have a chance to drop low grade Sea Souls. There is no Sea Monster Trial boss in the 5th area.

Co-op Whirlpool: A co-op area where you and others can clear 4 bosses together, but can be done solo. Each whirlpool can only be cleared once. Rewards from each boss include ~60000 event currency, both low and high grade Sea Souls, orochi scales, demon souls and 1-3 rows of 5-6* random souls.

If you played on CN during that collab with the Ebisu skin, it's exactly like that.

Tesso's Treasure: It's basically draft duels + betting, costs 1 event AP to do. Draft pick some shiki to fight against an AI picked team, then place a bet on your team with event currency. Can also increase your bet reward by picking a buff for the enemy draft team. If you lose your bet you can choose to fight Tesso, but be careful! Tesso's minions will be the ones you draft picked.

Highest amount of event currency you can win is 540000 and there's a chance to get a 1-2 Sea Souls as well. After winning 3-6-9 etc matches in a row, you'll also get a one time reward.

Reward Box: Get rewards such as 80000-100000 event currency and guild medals. Each box can only be claimed once.

Event Shop: Going to it unlocks 1 of the 5 tabs for the shop, plus you can also see Youko stand outside it while wearing his new skin.

Torii Gate: Going to it unlocks quick travel between areas.

Flowers: Read messages left by shikigami or other players, can like them or leave a comment on them too. Or create your own message for others to read.

Note: Some activities like Sea Monster Trials and Tesso's Treasure can only be done a certain number of times per day in each area.

Eternal Sea of Ruins

After the 7th day (on the 2nd Wednesday of the event after maintenance), the server must work together to defeat the mermaid king within 2 days. However, the boss won’t be challengable from 23:59 to 08:00. Costs 6 AP to challenge the boss.

The boss has 2 modes; morningtide and eveningtide. You can can switch between before challenging them, both modes have different skills, so pick whichever mode you find easiest to do. Under the HP bar for boss will be another 2 bars, each one represents the 2 modes. When both halves have been reduced to 0%, the boss will enter a weakened state that lasts for 1 hour.

Can get 100000 event currency for doing more than 100mil damage and ~10 picture book(?) fragments. When you have 40 fragments, can use them to pick a 6* soul out of a random selection of 3. The rewards for total accumulated damage are; 10 jade, 15min soul buff, 1 blue summon ticket, 10 black daruma shards and a 5* white daruma. Reward for defeating the boss is an animated version of the frame obtained when this part of event starts.

Strongly recommend maxing out your Sea Souls before this part of the event starts.

Exchange Shop

The shop is split into 5 tabs. Each tab can only be unlocked by going to each shop on the map. Notable rewards for each tab include:

Tab 1: event AP, Sea Souls, gold, AP, 50% EXP buff, 6* transfer ticket, 3* white daruma, 1 blue summon ticket, event frame, shikigami background (ch27 BG),

Tab 2: Youko skin, shikigami background (ch4 BG), 1 blue summon ticket, skin tickets, gold,

Tab 3: 100 jade, Sougenbi scrolls, blue daruma, 5* white daruma, AP, 1 blue summon ticket, 2 5* special realm cards,

Tab 4: 150 jade, skin tickets, gold, orochi scales, a 5* special realm card, evo material pack,

Tab 5: AP, SP skin tickets, black daruma, random SSR/SP, a loading screen illustration, 3 event packs,

Each of the 3 event packs can be bought 99 times. The type of items that can be obtained from them are;

Pack 1: R-SSR shikigami shards, gold and EXP buffs, etc

Pack 2: 6* souls, EXP souls, orochi scales, demon souls, totem zone tickets, etc

Pack 3: daruma, daruma shards, realm cards, bio affection items, soul and evo buffs, AP, etc

We only get 30 event AP per day, so buying all of daily event AP in tab 1 is recommended. If you have spare jade to spend, buying some of the daily Sea Souls in tab 1 is also recommended.

If possible, avoid spending your event currency until you unlock tab 5 of the shop. It is not possible to buy everything.

Recommended Teams

Sea Exploring

First team is for general farming. Second is for fast clears to unlock harder stages, can also swap out Enmusubi for another multi-hit attacker like Takiyasha or Suzuka. And the 3rd team is for people who have maxed out the monkey and tako drum Sea Souls and want to fully take advantage of them.

For the Sea Monster Trials, use whatever team works for you.

After you have maxed out the bonus stats from Sea Souls you won't need crit at all, so remember to adjust your souls sets accordingly.

Sea of Eternal Ruin

Like the previous event, as long as you have a team that does really well against a single enemy you shouldn't have too much trouble with this.

If you intent in using the first team and don't have Enmusubi, the alternatives are Senhime, Shoyou, Kiyohime or SP Kiyohime.

If you're a beginner, recommend fighting the boss in morningtide mode. If you’re not using a team that needs kyoukotsu on Ushi, then remember to swap her set from shadow to watcher as the fight goes on.

For the last team you could use SP Kiyo instead of Sanbi but why you do that. Make me proud by using Sanbi!

#Onmyouji #Onmyoji #events #hope y'all are looking forward to losing all your event currency to Tesso

Sakura Wars Gets More Goods, Collabs, Comments From Kohei Tanaka

July 7, 2020 3:34 PM EST

Everything from the latest Sakura Wars stream including a Chain Chronicle collab, new Nendoroids, more goods, and comments from composer Kohei Tanaka.

Sega held the 14th Sakura Taisen Imperial Communication Department’s Broadcast stream on June 19, focusing on Sakura Wars The Animation. We’ve summarized every past Sakura Taisen stream on DualShockers, though on a more timely manner. So while it’s been a few days now since the stream aired, here’s our full summary, as usual.

The stream featured as usual: MC Mami Yamashita (who thankfully recovered from Covid-19), Seijuro Kamiyama’s seiyuu Youhei Azakami, and Producer Tetsu Katano. Present as guests were Kenji Akabane, who is the seiyuu of Kaminski in Shin Sakura Taisen The Animation (Sakura Wars The Animation), and Sakura Taisen series composer Kohei Tanaka. The stream focused on Shin Sakura Taisen The Animation whose final episode aired the same day.

After the introductions, everyone present on the stream started chatting about the anime, and introducing its characters. Most notably Kaminski Valery, captain of the Moscow Combat Troupe appearing in the anime’s story, sequel to the game. The first hilarious moment on stream was how Kenji Akabane was supposed to launch the video introducing his character, but got preemptively cut since he took so long. You can catch that moment at the 14:00 time stamp below:

youtube

Following that, everyone on stream commented various excerpt from each Sakura Wars The Animation episodes. I’ve personally only skimmed through this part to avoid spoilers, as time didn’t permit me to watch the whole anime yet. However, you should definitely check it out if you’re a fan with a grasp of Japanese. This sequence starts at the 23:00 mark and lasts around 20 minutes:

youtube

One particular anecdote Kohei Tanaka mentioned is how the cat often seen in the anime, is voiced by Ryoko Shiraishi, who also voices Komachi.

Following that, Kenji Akabane spoke about his history with the Sakura Taisen franchise. He first got into the series with Sakura Wars The Movie, released on December 22, 2001. Akabane explained he really loves Hidenori Matsubara’s designs in the Sakura anime adaptations and how they adapt perfectly the original design by Kousuke Fujishima. As a reminder, nowadays whenever new Sakura Wars artwork is released, it’s always Hidenori Matsubara drawing it, and I don’t think Kousuke Fujishima has drawn Sakura Taisen artwork for years now, which is a shame. Kenji Akabane greatly praised the movie and how it’s still incredibly great looking even now. He was also really into collecting stickers back then and particularly liked the ones included in some of the OST CDs releases.

Kohei Tanaka too spoke about Sakura Wars The Movie. He explained that back during the movie’s production, when he recorded the BGMs with an orchestra, they had an audience as well. It was a pretty emotional moment as some of the fans watching the stream mentioned in the comments they were there. Back then, they recorded the audience for cheers and applause used in the movie as well.

Following that, the discussion subject moved back to Shin Sakura Taisen The Animation. Kenji Akabane was really hyped to be in the anime because he met Sumire’s seiyuu Michie Tomizawa during the recording. There’s also a scene early on in the anime where Kaminski meets Sumire and praises her, and he was ultra hyped about voicing that one scene. As for Akabane’s initial impressions of Kaminski, he only saw his actual design just before recording, and didn’t see it at the audition, so he was surprised how much of a pretty boy he is. He asked a lot about his personality and goals to the anime staff before recording to be sure to get in the role and voice him accordingly.

At that point on Kohei Tanaka started focusing on the ending theme song, Sakura Yumemishi. It’s sung by the girls of the Imperial Combat Revue’s new Flower Division: Sakura Amamiya, Hatsuho, Azami, Anastasia, Claris, along with Shangai’s Huang Yui, London’s Lancelot, and Berlin’s Elise.

With Sakura Yumemishi, Kohei Tanaka wanted to make something symbolizing the nobleness and frantic feelings of the women fighting in the series. That’s why Ayane Sakura, singing as Sakura Amamiya, has particularly high notes in the song, to show that franticness. Kohei Tanaka really praised her singing and said she pretty much fused with Sakura Amamiya. He praised all the other seiyuu as well, and said they did a wonderful job. He also jokingly apologized for making so many hard to sing pieces Kenji Akabane added he’d definitely refuse he was asked to sing one of the songs because it’d be way too difficult. Kohei Tanaka mentioned it was particularly difficult for Hibiku Yamamura, because she had to stay in Azami’s voice and yet sing very high tones.

Following that, Kohei Tanaka explained the lyrics of Sakura Yumemishi. Nearly every single song in Sakura Wars has lyrics written by original author Hiroi Oji. However, he couldn’t do the lyrics of Sakura Yumemishi, so Shouko Fujibayashi handled it instead. In the Shin Sakura Taisen game, Shouko Fujibayashi also wrote the lyrics for the character songs of Lancelot (Knights of the Round), Elise (Schwarzer Stern), Itsuki (Ruriruran Ginza Roman) and the charasong shared by Sumire, Kaoru, and Komachi (A Star Is Born).

Kohei Tanaka explained he loves working with Hiroi Oji and wants to keep working with him for years to come, but having someone else do the lyrics is also a good change of pace, which can bring a new angle to Sakura Taisen music.

Shouko Fujibayashi wrote many songs for Nana Mizuki, Hiroshi Kitadani, and many other legendary singers in Japan. She also regularly works with Kohei Tanaka as she writes the lyrics of most of the songs he does for One Piece. She writes lyrics for pretty much every single popular kids franchise, Precure, Kamen Rider, One Piece, you name it.

As that segment of the stream ended, we got the see a clean, non-credit version of Shin Sakura Taisen The Animation‘s ending sequence, with Sakura Yumemishi playing. As far as I know it’s the only way to see this version for now. It’s at the 53:38 mark:

youtube

Mami Yamashita, Yohei Azakami and Kenji Akabane all really like the ED animation, especially the Kamiyama shot and how cool he looks.

An OST CD for Sakura Wars PS4 launched June 24. This is the OST CD containing the game’s instrumentals BGMs only. The vocal songs were in the OST CD included in the Japanese Limited Edition, and were also released on a separate CD, seen on the right.

Kohei Tanaka said he’s never tired of making Sakura Taisen songs and wants to keep doing it forever. He said that when he recorded the BGMs for Sakura Wars PS4 with an orchestra, at the same time he also recorded the BGMs in the One Piece: Stampede movie, so it was really exhausting. But he’s glad he did it.

Kohei Tanaka also quickly mentioned the BGM used in the final battle of Sakura Wars PS4. He explained how the game’s saddest BGM uses the same base as the final battle’s BGM, to represent the sadness and pain of battle.

The Shin Sakura Taisen The Animation OST CD for ending theme Sakura Yumemishi is out since May 27. Kohei Tanaka said there will probably be another CD later on with the rest of the anime’s BGMs.

Volume 1 and 2 of the DVD and Bluray disc release of the anime are out. Cover illustrations are by character designer Masashi Kudo. One of the coolest things about these are the audio commentaries by the seiyuu. Yohei Azakami mentioned he’s in the audio commentary in Volume 3, and it was the first time he ever recorded one. Kenji Akabane is on Volume 4’s audio commentary. Volume 3 launches on July 15. Volume 4 on August 19.

Starting the 1:08:40 mark of the stream, we had the usual goods and new collabs segment, with Mami Yamashita and Yohei Azakami wearing glasses and acting all serious. This is one of the meta jokes of these streams as they always do that for this segment.

The final chapter of the manga was pre-published online in Tonari no Young Jump on June 25, 2020. It has a pretty cool shot of Sakura Amamiya.

The new Sakura Wars goods on sale in Japan since June 17.

As a reminder, each character has been getting goods for their birthdays. Each month, one character gets goods dedicated to them. Special messages from the other characters, wishing them happy birthday, are also published online on the Sakura Taisen Twitter account. The first wave of birthday goods was for Sakura Amamiya in March 2020.

List of Shin Sakura Taisen main characters birthdays, blood type and astrological sign (These were revealed during the 11th stream on January 2020):

Seijuro Kamiyama August 11, Leo, AB.

Sakura Amamiya: March 19, Pisces, A.

Hatsuho Shinonome: September 9, Virgo, B.

Azami Mochizuki: May 15, Taurus, O.

Anastasia Palma: October 6, Libra, B.

Claris: February 1, Aquarius, AB.

The next one in line is Seijuro Kamiyama, they’re selling a t-shirt based on his parka from the DLC costumes. Along with a bunch of other goods. The last one to get birthday goods should be Claris, in January-February 2021.

Sakura Amamiya Nendoroid from Good Smile. They hinted they might make more for the other characters if this one sells well.

The next HG 1/24 scale plamo scheduled to release is Anastasia’s Mugen, scheduled to launch October 2020. Seijuro and Sakura Amamiya’s Mugen plamo released on June 20. Azami’s Mugen plamo launches in July.

Yurakucho Marui shopping mall in Tokyo is also doing a Shin Sakura Taisen collab from June 19 to July 12, selling exclusive goods. Kohei Tanaka made a song for the shop too. Details are on the shop’s site. There’s also a collab café with Princess Café at Yurakucho Marui, and Shibuya Marui. Fans can get exclusive goods there too.

It’s particularly funny because Sakura Amamiya and the “Heroine” of Chain Chronicle 3, Feena, are both voiced by Ayane Sakura. She voiced a commercial for the collab.

Following that, the stream moved on to its ending corner.

Seeing Shin Sakura Taisen The Animation is over, future Sakura Taisen streams will stop focusing on it. Kenji Akabane said Sakura Ayane didn’t appear yet on the streams, and how she was super jealous of him when she heard he would appear at some point when they recorded the anime volume 4’s audio commentary together.

Kenji Akabane said he was pretty happy to appear on stream, and hopes there’s a “Shin Sakura Taisen The Movie” happening one day. He jokingly said he’ll do anything to make it happen.

As the stream ended, unlike with most streams until now, they didn’t announce a date for the next stream. Though they stressed out there will be more streams coming. As we covered in a separate article, they also teased a Shin Sakura Taisen sequel could be coming. Shin Sakura Taisen The Stage, the stage play, was re-announced as well.

The usual end of stream photos with everyone present. Every Japanese stream has similar social distancing setups like these nowadays. Usually they sit much closer.

Be sure to check out our review of Sakura Wars, and why did the game was titled “Sakura Wars” in the west. You can also check out our summaries of all the previous streams so far. DualShockers also recently had the opportunity to interview the Sakura Wars development team, and the full interview is coming later this week.

Sakura Wars is currently a PS4 exclusive and can be bought on Amazon.

All Too Well (23 Minute Version) — Collab Call

An album, 23 boys, and 23 stories to tell.

Introducing the All Too Well (23 Minute Version), a collab call hosted by @/neo-shitty (Me) and co-hosted by @lebrookestore (Brooke).

ABOUT.

The theme, simply put, is Taylor’s album, Red (Taylor’s Version). The songs in the album were written at a very pivotal point in Taylor’s life. It’s a bittersweet mix of tracks that sum up the young adult experience; falling in love in a cafe, feeling paralyzed by time as you struggle to pick up the broken pieces of your heart, and ditching responsibilities to make the most out of being 22.

In this collab, you’re required to pick a song from the tracklist we listed below, pair it with a NCT member of your choice and write a fic inspired by the song!

Sounds interesting? Click below for further details.

RULES AND GUIDELINES.

: ̗̀➛ Please reblog the post if you want to join so we can reach a wider audience and hopefully fill in all the available spots.

: ̗̀➛ First come, first serve. Only one spot is available per member and per song. If both are still available, please send me an ask then wait for my confirmation. Before you send your message, please make sure that you’re committed to delivering the fic. While we can’t do anything if you choose to withdraw, we would highly appreciate it if you inform us beforehand.

In your ask, please include the following: your chosen member, your chosen track, and whether you’d like to be added to the Discord server for faster communication.

: ̗̀➛ All fics must include the following information: pairing, genre, and content warnings if needed. Word count is optional.

: ̗̀➛ In-fic pairings should only be MEMBER X OC or MEMBER X READER ONLY. No member x member. However, you are welcome to feature other members to make up the cast of the story, but the chosen member should remain as the main focus.

: ̗̀➛ We are lenient with the incorporation of the songs in the stories. You are not required to write a scene for each line or verse. You can draw inspiration from a single line, or a particular verse, or just write a story based on your interpretation of the song. Either is fine. And don’t forget to credit Taylor where it’s due.

: ̗̀➛ The story’s genre can vary. While it’s expected that most of the fics will be set in domestic settings and would either be fluff or angst, sub-genres such as horror, action, mystery, etc., are welcome so long as you’re able to correlate it to the song you picked.

: ̗̀➛ Smut fics are allowed for all members except Sungchan, Chenle, and Jisung. For the remaining three, the closest we can allow is suggestive ONLY. Likewise, writers under 18 are not allowed to write smut and overly suggestive scenes in their fics. Tag your fics accordingly.

: ̗̀➛ No timestamps, reactions, headcannons. Entries must be full-length fics. The minimum word count for an entry is at 500 words. There will be no maximum word limit and you’re free to write as much as you want.

: ̗̀➛ Hate speech or any form of bullying directed towards any of the other writers is prohibited. If caught doing such an act, your participation in the collab will immediately be terminated. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. If proven, your participation will be terminated as well.

: ̗̀➛ The deadline of entries will be on December 13, 2022. Both teasers and fics must be dropped on or before the date indicated. A masterlist/compilation of fics will be posted following the first teaser drop.

TRACKLIST.

Disclaimer: We are aware that the original tracklist included 30 songs however we have omitted tracks to keep it at 23 and to avoid repetition of members. Trust us when we tell you that removing each track, aside from the duplicates and Ronan — that we felt was too personal to Taylor, required serious deliberation.
