If I had a nickel for every time I heavily kinned and related to a morally grey mentally ill borderline suicidal anime boy with dark blue hair that originates from a youtube series that has to do with murder, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice
So I'm genuinely stoked for the new music we're getting this year from B-T. I'm especially curious about the single "Taiyou to Ikarus" since I'm aware of the legend of Icarus, however minimal my knowledge might be. So just to pass time, I decided to see the film The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976) since it's been on my watchlist for quite a while now. And this is what I came across...
This film was released when Atsushi was prolly around 10 yrs old so I highly doubt if he saw this film when it was just released. Still, given that he's a huge Bowie stan I wonder if he's seen this film and if this is how he first came across the story of Icarus. Also, I'm not denying the possibility that he prolly found out about the story somewhere else. Still, would an interesting coincidence of sorts.
I’m keeping the order a surprise. :) I’ll update as each poll is posted.
This tournament is Round Robin, which means EVERY CHARACTER WILL GO UP AGAINST EVERY OTHER CHARACTER! So, don’t worry when you’re voting. Your blorbo will be here for every round. You will get to vote against Elon Musk every round.

This month's rotation is meant as an homage to Sakurai Atsushi, who passed away this past October.
I mostly went with my favourite buck-tick song that aren't dress and romance and just one more kiss cause everyone knows these lol
I also tried to go for at least a song in every decade, but I have to admit that I'm not familiar with their post-2012 releases, so yeah...
Song titles have the links to individual songs, link for all 6 of them at the end.
In this pack, you'll find :
BUCK-TICK - 月世界 (Gessekai)
I first found this song on a rotation blog, so I thought it was appropriate to put here. It was different from what I was listening, at the time, but there was something about this song that kept haunting me and that was what made me get into buck-tick
Gessekai was a single released in 1998
youtube
BUCK-TICK - 羽虫のように (Hamushi no you ni)
This was the last time i immediately fell in love with a buck-tick song. I don't have much to say aside from I think it's still as good as the first time I listened to it !
Hamushi no you ni was found on RAZZLE DAZZLE, released in 2010
youtube
BUCK-TICK - Love Letter
This will never not remind me of college lmao, and the pv definitely is the reason why :D (thanks, Mad... lol)
Love Letter was release on the album Six/Nine in 1995
youtube
(uploaded EIGHTEEN years ago dakjshfjkasdghfkjah)
BUCK-TICK - MOON LIGHT
This song popped up in my head when I learned Atsushi had passed. I couldn't not put it in here.
MOON LIGHT can be found on HURRY UP MODE released in 1987
youtube
BUCK-TICK - 夢魔 - the Nightmare (muma - the nightmare)
13kai wa gekkou is easily my favourite buck-tick album, and honestly all tracks are worth listening. I had originally chosen Passion, for this, but I want to use that song in another rotation, so I went with muma, in the end, as i figured they both have the kind of energy i wanted to convey here :3
十三階は月光 (juusankai wa gekkou) was released in 2005
youtube
BONUS : 櫻井敦司 (Sakurai Atsushi) - Space Oddity (Live David Bowie cover)
I wanted to add a song from his solo career, and tbh I was going to go for Sacrifice, but I then remembered this existed and I figured it would make for a good last song for this rotation.
Space Oddity was only performed live, but can be found on the Explosion - Ai No Wakusei Live 2004 DVD released in, well, 2004
I’d like to take a moment today to share one of my absolute favorite movies of all-time ✨
(English: Liza the Fox-Fairy)
Directed by Károly Ujj Mészáros (the husband of Mónika Balsai, who plays Liza)
Premise: Liza is a home-care nurse who requests a day off on her 30th birthday for the purpose of seeking out a lover like the one she reads about in her favorite Japanese novel.
(I know I know it doesn’t sound that great yet but bear with me!)
Over the course of the movie she attempts several dates that end up going disastrously, as the jealous Tomy Tani (a dead Japanese musician that appears to Liza as a spirit - played by David Sakurai) sabotages any potential male suitors. He convinces Liza that she’s a mystical creature from Japanese legends called a fox-fairy, and is therefore a danger to any man who desires her.
Meanwhile, a detective who really loves Finnish music is assigned to investigate all the mysterious deaths occurring around Liza.
I don’t want to spoil any more than that, but the movie itself is cute, fun, and honestly pretty heartwarming by the end. The characters are all great, and Liza in particular is just so fucking precious.
When I first found this movie, I ended up watching it about 3 times in a row (the 2nd time was so my spouse could watch it with me), because it just made me feel so nice and happy. It’s now one of my comfort movies that I like to put on when I’m sad, because it always cheers me up ♥️
So if you want a movie that’s funny and light-hearted, with an overall optimistic look on love and finding your person, I cannot recommend this enough. I’m typically not a fan of romance, but that’s not even what I enjoy about the movie. It’s just all-around fantastic.
cw: there is a scene of attempted suicide, just to give a heads up (it actually ends up being a really funny scene but I know it may still be a trigger for some)
Hell no we are not letting this OFMD finale distract from that THIS LETTER.
Had a signature from Taika Waititi. I understand the sensitivity here this issue with Taika being Jewish(and that’s not my place as someone that’s Not Jewish or in those regions to condemn him on that perspective’s behalf) but this letter is directly bastardizing the situation.
Now, when there is a major production from a major figure in this platform that did this, is when we can make the most impact. Remember our values, even when those values involve a show that is strengthening the LGBTQ community.
Because this letter tore down the strength of the movement in support of Gaza. There are going to be so many people that saw this letter and take it completely uncritically, unchallenged.
Standing up for our values means sacrificing our interests, holding accountable the things we enjoy.
And also. I don’t want to see ANYONE. Being fucking antisemitic or racist towards Taika here. That is never appropriate and absolutely inexcusable behavior. You should he ashamed if you think that’s okay even after Taika’s actions.
[Text of Letter]
October 23, 2023
Dear President Biden, We are heartened by Friday's release of the two American hostages, Judith Ranaan and her daughter Natalie Ranaan and by today's release of two Israelis, Nurit Cooper and
Yocheved Lifshitz, whose husbands remain in captivity. But our relief is tempered by our overwhelming concern that 220 innocent people,
including 30 children, remain captive by terrorists, threatened with torture and death.
They were taken by Hamas in the savage massacre of October 7, where over 1,400
Israelis were slaughtered - women raped, families burned alive, and infants beheaded. Thank you for your unshakable moral conviction, leadership, and support for the Jewish people, who have been terrorized by Hamas since the group's founding over 35 years ago, and for the Palestinians, who have also been terrorized, oppressed, and victimized
by Hamas for the last 17 years that the group has been governing Gaza. We all want the same thing: Freedom for Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace. Freedom from the brutal violence spread by Hamas. And most urgently, in this
moment, freedom for the hostages. We urge everyone to not rest until all hostages are released. No hostage can be left behind. Whether American, Argentinian, Australian, Azerbaijani, Brazilian, British, Canadian, Chilean, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Eritrean, Filipino, French, German, Indian, Israeli, Italian, Kazakh, Mexican, Panamanian, Paraguayan, Peruvian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, South African, Spanish, Sri Lankan, Thai, Ukrainian,
Uzbekistani or otherwise, we need to bring them home.
Sincerely,
[Text of the names presented. This isn’t all of them, just the copy of this with Taika’s name on it)
I miss Acchan sho much ... I feel sho unbelievably and ineffably cold, dead and empty inside, moreso than i ever did before in my deepest melancholic depressions ... i'm not handling this well ... i don't want to live in a world without him ... Robbie says i'll always have his music, but is sorry we didn't get to see him live ... this hurts worse than when Rutger Hauer, Ric Ocasek, and David Bowie died ... God ... pls take care of Atsushi Sakurai-sama. 🥺
