FruBa Music Tastes Headcanons

a/n: been wanting to do this kind of post again for awhile now, and i finally got the inspiration to do it! enjoy! :3

🍙Tohru Honda🍙

A lot of lofi/instrumental stuff. Usually for when she’s cleaning or doing some chores around the house. Otherwise it’s Taylor Swift (don’t look at me! The Kyoru edits made me do it)

🐈Kyo Sohma🐈

To be honest I think he listens to whatever Tohru likes (god he’s hopelessly in love with her it’s pathetic)

🐀Yuki Sohma🐀

I honestly don’t know what Yuki would listen to, he’d probably have a little bit of everything?

👘Akito Sohma👘

Probably traditional Biwa music, idk. Akito is a tricky one.

🐕Shigure Sohma🐕

Like Kyo to Tohru, I feel like Shigure would listen to whatever Akito would like.

🐇Momiji Sohma🐇

Now from my chat with my Momiji bot on c.ai, it mentioned it liked Hozier. And I can see it to be honest. Hozier makes a lot of R&B and blues, and I can honestly see Momiji vibing with that. 

🐉Hatori Sohma🐉

Jazz. I don’t make the rules (but I do) mans likes his jazz cos he’s a very sophisticated guy. 

🐄Hatsuharu Sohma🐄

Metal. No elaboration will be made

❤️‍🩹Arisa Uotani❤️‍🩹

It’s a tie between either girl in red or Conan Gray. Perhaps both. Both is good.

🖤Saki Hanajima🖤

She listens to Phantom of the Opera on loop like me. No elaboration. Moving on. 

🐍Ayame Sohma🐍

Todrick Hall and any other queer musician that has walked the earth.

🐗Kagura Sohma🐗

Definitely listens to Vocaloid. Oh and those cutesy songs you find on playlists for relaxing. She scours the internet for every last song on them.

🐒Ritsu Sohma🐒

MY BABYYYYYY AGHHHHH

Now for those who haven’t read My Girl (which you definitely should), I stated that Ritsu is a girl in red fan. She also likes Taylor Swift, Halsey, and AURORA, though. Also Madonna and ABBA, Blondie, maybe Joan Jett when she’s feeling daring.

Def would apologize for her music taste if you don’t like it like no bby it’s okay 🥺🥺🥺

🐅Kisa Sohma🐅

Baby Shark /j

🐏Hiro Sohma🐏

Would sing Baby Shark with Kisa cos he loves her 🥹

🐎Rin/Isuzu Sohma🐎

Marina and the Diamonds, and also Mitski. 

🐓Kureno Sohma🐓

I feel like he listens to Michael Bublé. No reason why, he just does and that’s on my headcanon.

7, 12 & 18 for the oc asks 💓

Ty Em (⁠｡⁠･⁠ω⁠･⁠｡⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♡💞💞💕

7. Have any of your OCs gone through major revisions in the year 2023?

Shocking reveal up until last April Evelyn used to look like this 🤧

Ultimately her eyes and hair swapped xD

I do kinda still love this pallette I need to reuse it with someone else maybe. Cecille considering they were sisters in early drafts during the attempt to insert Evelyn in bnha? Idk.

Then one day , year and two months into shipping her with Reiner, I was like "WAIT WHO TF IN AOT EVEN HAS BLUE HAIR OR DRESSES LIKE THAT MAYBE THAT'S WHY I'M UNINSPIRED ON ART IT FEELS UNNATURAL- " (no Rico doesn't count mappa made her blonde anyway)

I had 3 options between Auburn (low-key could work?) , blonde (nahhh she'd have looked like hisj clone xP) , and scarlet that ultimately won for me. ( and thematically one that makes most sense 🍎🩸🤧)

Nowdays you have this absolute beauty, and she's even got a pre-timeskip design! 🥰🥰🥰

It got extremely long to show it's been 4 years....

Someone else too let me see... I feel like next ask would expand on it 😳😳

12. Were any of your older OCs revived in 2023?

Almost. Were late 2022 to count I'd have answered with Kaguya & Kira (my secondary AOT & BNHA ocs). But that said might need to look into their cases again for this year since it's been a while and I had major steps with the others meanwhile. Like I said with Evelyn's previous blue hair,,, I'll need to do something with kaguya but still have her recognizeable BC I'm sentimental 😆 but otherwise Mia & Evelyn were the ones for the 2023 spotligh-...

Silly me, as I type this I remember Towa during my sailor moon s1 rewatch 🤭 who underwent her third name change (kiyo in 2018 (it was from before i watched fruba i swear- )> Rei in 2019 until that point when i realized i want to insert her in the sm universe anddd can't have her share name with an already existing character xD and ber hair was brown/black. > Towa by now) .

her current characterization from what i wrote down is giving her more of a challenge with it being how she's precieved as dull and invisible for granted , being reserved and thinking it's natural and only logical. Until,,, whoops. She also reveals a more cynical curious and snarky to her.

And also my third character attempt to ship with nephrite. Mia was first edgy attempt in 2016( or maybe I'm too harsh. I was a teen in bad place and the only person I shared with was kinda toxic about it) . Evelyn was the second in 2019,( not talking about this one because really.... nothing came there xD bbygirl underwent about 5 ships before I figured who her true love really is (🛡️🍎) I think and glad it's him 😆😆😆)

What were your biggest inspirations for developing your OCs in 2023?

Answered it here ^^ 🤧

oc wrapped: 2023 edition!

[theclearblue]

Hello, I'm the one who asked ship ask shoujo/josei edition. What I mean is Machi not Maki. I don't ship Yuki/Machi and Uotani/Kureno from FruBa (eventhough they're canon). Sorry for the mistake.

Ahhh no worries at all just know I was also thinking of Machi even though I also wrote her name incorrectly 😭😭😭 And yeah that's fair about Yuki/Machi, I like it personally but I get why it isn't everyone's cup of tea. And ugh yeah Uotani/Kureno is my least favorite canon ship, you cannot make the most butch lesbian character of all time and take her away from her weirdo goth girlfriend to give her the most mid relationship ever 🤧

Mangaka Spotlight- Natsuki Takaya

Most known for creating Fruits Basket, Natsuki inadvertently pioneered the shojo Manga genre. I wanted to take this opportunity to share more about the artist, rather than their art. I think the world over has taken notice and understands her artwork, but not much is known about her. And maybe that's by design, I respect that. Still, I'd like to share the readily available information about her. with artists, or people that are not aware of her as a person.

Takaya was born July 7th, 1973, in Shizuoka, Japan. The year of the OX! Her real name is Hana Hatate, but I'll continue with her pen name. Although she was born in Shizuoka, she was raised in Tokyo. She wanted to become a Mangaka as early as first grade when her older sister took up art. Her sister's influence proved successful because right after high school, she would make her debut as an Artist.

From my research, aside from drawing, Takaya also enjoyed playing video games. Such as Sakura Wars and the Final Fantasy series.

In 1992, at 18 years old, Takaya entered the professional mangaka scene working with the magazine called Hana to Yume Planet Zōkan magazine. Two years later, in the same magazine, she would create her first serilized story, Phantom Dream, from 1994 to 1997.

Phantom Dream 1994-1997

The insane thing is, during the production of Phantom Dream, she also worked on her second serialized Manga, Tsubasa: Those With Wings from 1995 to 1998. Let's just take a moment to admire all the hard work Takaya put in. This woman's career snowballed since 18 years old, and boy, that type of dedication is rare to see!

Tusbasa: Those With Wings 1995-1998

Her third series would begin in 1999 with her magnum opus, Fruits Basket, and conclude in 2006.

Some things to note about the creation of FURBA. Her interest in the Zodiac came from a dictionary she was reading that referenced the Zodiac animals. Takaya also stated in interviews that the story of FURBA was the story she intended to tell through the entire process of production. That's so amazing!

Around volume 6 in the series, Takaya suffered an injury to her left hand (her drawing hand) that required surgery. Resulting in a brief hiatus. I could not find an explanation on how she injured herself, but I suspect it was a case of carpal tunnel, a common injury for artists.

In 2001, Furba went on to win the Kodansha Manga Award for best Shojo Manga. In the same year, Furba got its first Anime adaption, which was later rebooted in 2019. The series easily became the best-selling Shojo series in North America.

Fruits Basket 1999- 2001

In between creating Furba, Takaya also created Songs to Make You Smile which was around 1998. It's a collection of short stories that were published in one volume in 1999.

It seemed after Furba, she took a well-deserved break before creating another series, Twinkle Stars, in 2007, which ended in 2011.

Songs to Make You Smile 1998-1999 (left)

Twinkle Stars 2007-2011 (right)

The following series was interesting to look up. In 2011 Liselotte and Witch's Forest was published, but around 2013 Takaya put the series on a hiatus due to an unknown illness. To this day, the story is put on hold. However, Takaya stated she would finish the series little by little.

The last few works, I'll bunch together, as most of them are similar. Fruits Basket Another was created by Tanaka to advertise the original Fruba series. And Fruits Basket: The Three Musketeers Arc 1 & 2 is a spin-off series with 6 chapters available. These seem to be digitally exclusive, and most likely just for fun.

Fruits Basket Another 2017-2020

Fruits Basket: The Three Musketeers 2019-Present

Ironically, I mentioned at the beginning I wanted to focus on the artists, rather than their art. But in researching Takaya much of her personal life is kept private. I believe from what I see, her Manga was her life. And it's through her work we learn the type of person she is.

I hope that whatever her current situation is, she is healthy and proud of all her accomplishments. I'm in awe of the amount of work experience she has created for herself at just the age of 48.

Natsuki Takaya, you will always remain an inspiration to many readers and artists alike. I can't wait to see what you accomplish next!
