Had done sketches of some characters from class 3-1 a few months ago.

[theamityelf]

what do you think of aus where makoto goes through the Kamukura Project instead of hajime? i've seen a few around, but im curious about your take on the concept

Ooh, that's a good question!

For my own headcanons, I imagine, in his early days of consciousness as Izuru Kamukura (or Izuru Kamukura Iteration 2, if the Hajime version still exists in this timeline), he isn't aware of himself as a person pretty much at all. Even when the scientists talk to him, he isn't really aware that he's a person who is alive. He's really focused on them and understanding what they're saying and doing and why, but the fact that he doesn't process himself as a participant or agent in anything that happens to him means he's more witnessing the scene from a perspective of "I understand. This is a laboratory, and they're experimenting on a test subject. I wonder if their work will ever be done. They don't look happy. How do I know that? Because they hold tension in their faces. Because of the diameter of their pupils. They looked happier when they walked in than they are now. Why is that?"

(In contrast, I believe Hajime Izuru's analysis of the situation always included himself. I imagine, around this point in the Project, he saw things more like, "When *this stimulus* happens, it results in them doing *this thing* that hurts me. I have a vested interest in preventing this outcome." Makoto still experiences pain, but since he doesn't consider himself a person with agency, he just takes it as a thing that sometimes happens.)

It isn't until he's placed in a room with a two-way mirror that he sees things differently. (Similar to a thing I said about Izuru in Panel, but a little different.) He's looking at his reflection while the scientists run tests on him, and he's thinking, There are five people in this room. I only see four, until I look in the mirror. Right. The fifth one...That's the test subject. The one they're always talking to. He's bleeding. He shouldn't be; it looks like they made a mistake. Probably related to the visible signs of sleep deprivation in Dr. Sano. They shouldn't be handling the injury that way. That's not the way a normal medical practitioner treats a patient. Ow. They're very accomplished physicians; they know better than to treat someone this way and allow them to feel unnecessary pain. Ow.

And then he watches a drop of blood run down the middle of the test subject's face at the same time that he feels it happening, and it fully registers: That's right. I'm the test subject. The surreal feeling of realizing he's Someone dazes him for a second. If he's Someone, it's possible he can move. He can...talk?

"Dr. Sano?" he says, startling everyone in the room. "You usually use the polydioxanone sutures for lacerations like this. What made you choose the non-absorbable polypropylene this time? If it's related to your conversation with Dr. Fujita at your last shift, I don't find it likely that he actually felt that strongly about your work. He murmurs to himself about his family a lot; I think his frustrations about his son's grades fed into a mild complaint he had toward you."

The scientists all look at each other, because this test subject has been anomalously unresponsive, and suddenly he throws out not only a full sentence but an extremely comprehensive take on everything that's happening and everything that has happened.

They call in a bunch of other doctors to just assail him with questions, but while it's exciting that he's become responsive, they soon determine that it's easier to get a direct answer to a direct question out of him when there's fewer people to draw his attention. He doesn't treat them hierarchically, like he should. If the head doctor, in an otherwise silent room packed with lesser doctors, asks Makoto something, he might choose to ask one of the lesser doctors where his usual pocket protector is, or observe aloud that someone smells like watermelon.

Like the first Izuru Kamukura, this one is unemotional and largely unmotivated. Unlike the first Izuru Kamukura, this one doesn't resign himself to the tedium of life or live in pursuit of an end to that tedium. He just kind of lives vicariously through those who care. His thought about any given thing is, This is completely uninteresting to me, but it must matter, because someone cares about it.

(Possible scenario: "Makoto, kill that guy!"

"Okay." (starts strangling) (stops strangling) "Never mind. I think he doesn't want me to kill him."

"I know, but do it anyway."

"Why? He doesn't want me to.")

I can't stress enough how much he can't be motivated by pain or harm to himself. Unless someone else expresses that they don't want him to be hurt, it doesn't occur to him to make avoiding that a priority.

In the distant future, ordinary teacher Yoshino learns that he is a "donor" for the strongest species, the "ikigami." These warriors are tasked with protecting the country. "The unique ability of a donor is to use their bodily fluids to heal ikigami." Yoshino learns this fact and is shocked. Thus, Yoshino is forced to live with Kidou... At first, he is like a beast, demanding Yoshino's bodily fluids, but slowly, the underlying loneliness begins to show...

"Someday, if I met a donor, could they come to love me? That thought is the only reason I survived..."

Review Proper

I can’t believe Yamanaka Hiko’s been terrorizing me for over twelve years now. OH MY GOD I’M SO OLD. And true to the Yamanaka Hiko brand, this turned out to be another fantasy masterpiece (read His 500 Years of Suffering Romance). This was definitely the type of thing that would do great even without the BL aspect of it. Now, I did have an issue with Kidou being an asshole (he's almost killed Yoshino more than once), so I’m not excusing it. But I do get how and why he turned out to be like that and I'm aware that it's important for his character development. The world-building was great, don't get me wrong, but it's definitely dubcon 2015. I would strongly advise you not to get into it if that's a deal breaker for you.

Anyway, onto the voice work.

Souma used a tone so close to Gucci's that I kept imagining Gucci being Yoshino. Yes, I didn't read the manga while listening to the BLCD. It was like after graduating Karasuno, Gucci went on to become a teacher, then a donor lmao. His Yoshino panics more like Honda-san, however, so my final verdict is that his Yoshino is half-Gucci, half-Honda-san.

This isn't Nakajiki and Souma's first rodeo, but I'm glad to say that their performance/dynamic here is different from Mikeneko and XL Size. I expected Kidou to be a mix of Amano and Anaconbayashi-kun 'cause the former was cocky and the latter was stoic, but Kidou was only 50% of that mix and 50% brooding, suffering, I'll-protect-you top. Am I even making any sense? Again, I listened to the BLCD first, but the sound direction they gave Nakajiki was very different from what I thought he'd sound like after I read the manga. It’s almost like what happened with OnoD’s expressive Hasebe-kun in the Kotonoha BLCD vs the more stoic Hasebe-kun in the manga. 

The voice work of our two leads was 👌. This might just be my fave out of their pairings 'cause the sex isn't over-the-top like XL Size and Mikeneko. I will say that I wasn't completely sold on Yamashita Seiichirou as Shibata-san 'cause I feel like he speaks too slowly, but I'm sure it'll grow on me by the time I listen to their spin-off. KawaKen was fine. My heart broke for him every time Shibata-san rejected him, so it's safe to say he's got Taki-kun down already.

Oh. I did have a slight issue with the sfx too. Why was it so watery??? Lmao. Even r18 otome cds aren't that wet. But it's not so glaring that it'll turn you off.

The BLCD was almost perfectly accurate to the manga. I highly recommend this to those learning mid to higher levels of Japanese. Futekiya has licensed volumes 1 & 2, so please try to support the official release if you can. I'd be lying if I said that I agree with how they translated it so... literally?, but I think it's also important to see how things are translated that way if you're aiming to dip your toes into translation aside from studying the language. For example, they used "Living God" throughout the manga instead of "Ikigami." It's correctly translated, but I personally prefer retaining the original title. You know, like how Viz uses "Kaiju no. 8" instead of "Monster no. 8?"

God knows if I'll ever survive the spinoff that I wanted to work on. I avoided talking about it for a reason lmao. Anyway, if y'all liked this, then please give 500 Years (Ono Yuuki x Suzuki Tatsuhisa) and Shortcake no Ichigo Sawaranaide (Nojima Hirofumi x Takeuchi Ken). These two are android bls and Ikigami to Donor is more guide bl, but they both share a futuristic vibe.

Theory for my pookie @my3imaginary3wonderland

Tbh I have so much theory about the Pink Bitch club members. I can't decide which one is right because all of them make sense.

But I mostly believe more than one Charlotte and VYT actually didn't exist. They are Minako's made-up characters on her mind (or maybe in the alternative world where she created Pink Bitch Club). Alternative world like her in world of her imagination kinda like Omori, yk how Sunny copes with his trauma imagine the world with his friends. Kinda like that type.

Because if we rewatch all the old Pink Bitch Club videos, we only get to see Minako and Gyaruko only in real daily life instead of the other two. In onigiri mv, someone pointed out that Minako and Gyaruko are the only ones who have Halos and wings, which more could symbolise them being the only real ones. In onigiri , it's just only Minako and Gyaruko singing. (It could be a coincidence).

VYT is an example of breaking the characteristic of how Minako wants her to be, obedient and loyal but she slowly breaks the characterism when she goes to the Internet and start expressing herself there, like the mv OTOMERIOD we see VYT expressing herself more when Minako isn't watching.

She started to discover emotions and start feeling love. She is maybe like Gyaruko. She has her own opinions and has her own ways. She wants to live like a normal girl and find a lover. This angers Minako when VYT tells her about her social life and VYT getting fame more than her doing these being her back, so she restarted and killed her in the alternative world.

Maybe it could go the same towards Charlotte, but I don't really think so. Charlotte is much more confusing because her story COULD possibly connect in the world, but from a different perspective of Minako's view, Charlotte could be an ordinary girl like her but we still haven't found a reason why she killed her other than being jealous of her.

But I also started to think that VYT is just an ordinary girl because then I remember an official art of her. 👇🏻

I'm not sure it's official, or it's just a fanart, but judging the art style, I believe it's an official art.

This either tells VYT persona on how she acts in front of minako vs how she acts behind her back (like the picture, much more emotions.) Or this vivinos trying to show that VYT was inspired by a character Multi in a series called 'To Heart'. (Which is quite similar to VYT but she is much more expressionless). And you can see a lot of similarities on both of them.

Multi is a cheerful and high-spirited robot girl who desires to act just like a human. She was sent to Fujita's school in order to achieve this. The same goes to VYT but in a different way.

Idk man I just want Pink Bitch Club to come back again because I'm so desperate for them.

[miwhotep]

Ray Fujita was amazing as Milverton in the musical, but otherwise I cannot imagine Milverton with a good singing voice... at the same time, he would love singing in the bathroom (and no matter what, Ruskin would love to listen).

Just a little drabble with the thought.

What Do We Know About

✨ Ikemen Villains ✨

Character Design

Cybird works with other artists to create the character designs!

You can visit Remon-sensei Twitter and Instagram!!

Main Theme Song

Written and composed by Maiko Fujita, who is in charge of many songs in Ikemen Series

Official Page and Twitter

Our MC

Similar to our previous MCs, but with a different hair color. Expecting this MC's personality to be more interesting 😁

Previously we had mcs roles with 'designer', 'baker', 'bookstore keeper' and now for Ikevil MC, i think her roles seems to be 'writer'. She's a postal worker and then accidentally find out the boys secret

Timeline

19th Century England

The Main Issue

The suitors have their own curse, where they will inevitably follow the same fate of the story. Since you already know their secret, you become a Fairy Tale who record their curse and you'll be forced to live with them

I think i can imagine this, you'll not asked (kindly) to stay with them like Ikevamp MC, but they will threaten you to stay with them 😃 You try to complete your task while saving your life, but because of your closeness with one of the suitors, you fall in love and.... the rest you can guess already 😂

Don't forget the Queen. Whether she's good or bad, she might be able to intervene the story

Game System

When I saw it, it looks like Ikepri with Ikevamp atmosphere. There's also the commu function, just like in Ikepri

See?

Released Date

No news yet, but pre-registration has been opened. My guess is, if William is the first suitor, then the game will be released before his birthday. Maybe March or April

My opinion

Since the theme is the villains, maybe we should be prepared for dark, angst, tragedy and unpleasant things which is more than Ikepri or Ikevamp story 👍

At first I thought the theme of Ikevil's story would be witches in the 19th century lol. Since villains/angst/dark stories become popular, Cybird dared to take this idea. Even though actually I'm still quite sad about Ikerev and Ikelive, especially Ikelive which i never played at all

Ikemen Genjiden Eng when? 😂

For sure, the idea of ​​this 'Fairy Tale Curse' is very interesting. Didn't expect them to take ideas from the Magic Mirror or Thorns 👏 Can't wait for the game 😁

Please look forward and support the game!

[thistledropkick]

For some reason, Wato decided to quote Hiromu's backstage comments to Douki and Fujita, which don't mention or address Wato at all anywhere, with this:

Wato:

Hiromu-san, I'm always prepared and ready! I am the next in line. I will absolutely take your IWGP Jr. Heavyweight belt!

Desperado saw this and had to comment.

Despe:

That is not it.

That's not it at all, but

even if I give you the most possible leeway here,

the next person in line is me.

But somehow I can just imagine him with a smug grin on his face like "I nailed that one" after posting this

I'll probably never team up with him again anyway so whatever

So of course the next day they announced the upcoming tour schedule and Desperado is teaming with Wato. (The mysterious "Masked Horse" is also teaming with a much less mysterious "Masked Boltin")

Despe:

Masked Horse hides his identity but Masked Boltin is just Boltin in a mask right?!

And why am I with Wato again!

Despe:

The final two matches of the year, in Korakuen Hall

Personally, it didn't feel like I was absent for that long (since it was during the heavyweight tag league) but I'm back.

But,

I'll be teaming up for two days in a row with a certain person who I have poor communication with, so I may get angry with my ally due to stress.

[talk-danmei-to-me]

It was ridiculous effort to track down all the episodes but I've finally watched Boku no Sekuharu because 90s Yaoi just hits different I guess. So obviously I'm in the mood for another AU and apparently it's TGCF flavoured this time.

Office Worker AU.

Like imagine Jun Wu as the big boss pimping out Xie Lian to all the other company directors to maximise profit and then Hua Cheng is there not so secretly in love with him.

(Basically Jun Wu would be Honma, Xie Lian Mochizuki and Hua Cheng would be Fujita)

Unless it already exists and then someone point me in it's direction please and thank you.

(As an aside I don't know if I should be making such sweeping statements on Jun Wu's creep level when I've not even finished book 2... but I'm going to do it anyway)

(Also someone please tell me whether this is actually a good idea or has my sleep deprived brain run away with me)

[busaikuknee]

a quick look back at may 2024

i got started on this early for once. character development, i suppose.

general overview and numbers

i watched 90 matches in may, 65 of which took place this month. this is…a lot more than i expected to, frankly! my sleep schedule has been kind of grim, so i ended up watching more shows live than usual. i might be sleepy, but at least i've been sports entertained.

nothing super notable to report on, though i have been backwatching quite a bit of dragongate this month. dead or alive got me bad. there's something about those cage matches, man.

most appearances throughout the month

hayata's in first place for both "matches that took place this month" and "matches i watched this month," so, fuck, i guess hayata's the Spreadsheet Champ of the Month. i wouldn't have guessed it; i feel like i've barely seen him this may, what with my Bad At Watching Tournaments disease striking halfway through best of the super juniors. i'll...catch up eventually, probably.

mumbling about matches

great sakuya and nagisa nozaki vs miyuki takase and nanashi (noah, april 1st)

starting off with one not from this month! i made a mental note to include it in last month's writeup, but realized that i left it off of the post proper right after i sent it out. unfortunate, but it's my self-indulgent summary post and i can break my "only talk about matches that happened this month" rule whenever i want, so it's making it onto this one.

anyway! short but very fun match. a blend of goofy hijinks and doing-moves wrestling that appealed to me greatly. the normal wrestler-spooky wrestler tag dynamics? the slasher movie sequence? excellent, wonderful, loved it. i've come to really enjoy nagisa nozaki, i should seek out more of her matches when i have the time.

kzy vs jason lee vs hyo vs shun skywalker vs jacky "funky" kamei (dragongate, may 5th)

i can count the number of times i've cried at something fictional on one hand. this isn't a good or bad thing, i just don't think i engage with media in a way that provokes that kind of response.

that being said, this match got me really, really close to crying. the power of love and friendship is real, maybe.

takashi sugiura vs masa kitamiya (noah, may 4th)

i'm reluctant to use this wording as i feel it sets expectations too high, but sugiura and masa had kind of a perfect ten-minute match? solid pacing, did everything it needed to, made both performers look stellar. masa rules and i just want him to have nice things. unfortunately, i also don't want him to experience head trauma, and that was not a wish granted here. my love for the single-trickle-of-blood-running-down-forehead visual is constantly at war with my feelings about shoot headbutts.

shoko nakajima vs miu watanabe (tjpw, may 5th)

i’ve been putting together a playlist of some personal highlights of 2024 wrestling to show some friends, and i am going to shuffle shit around as much as possible to make sure that this gets in there. “technical freak vs person who’s strong enough to just pick them up if they go for a hold” is a combo that always appeals to me, and since nakajima and watanabe are both excellent wrestlers, i was constantly delighted throughout the runtime. good, good stuff. while i might not cry often, i’m very soft-hearted, so the hug at the end made me Feel.

i find that it often takes a couple of matches for me to fully click with a wrestler, and i think this was the match that made me click with shoko nakajima. shokopilled bigkaijumaxxing.

kosei fujita vs el desperado (njpw, may 13th)

imagine a flame text gif reading “FUJITA ROCKS.” now imagine another, slightly different flame text gif reading “DESPERADO ALSO ROCKS BUT I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT BY NOW.” thank you for your time.

jun akiyama vs atsushi kotoge (noah, may 29th)

my exact spreadsheet notes were "still thinking about this. what a fucking match. why were they in love here."

onward to june! while there isn't a lot that i'm super invested in storyline-wise at the moment (barring minoura and yamato's whole deal), i am looking forward to a couple of the events scheduled for this upcoming month. despe invitacional save me. save me despe invitacional.

if there was something you particularly enjoyed this may, do feel free to share! see you next month!

Seiyuu Birthday: Epel's Tsuchiya Simba

Happy Birthday to Epel's VA Tsuchiya Simba!

Recently Tsuchiya has voiced Kimura Reo in “The Seven Voice Museum” anime with Ortho’s VA Aoi Shouta as Arata Hikari and Vargas’ VA Takeuchi Ryouta as Yamagawa Rimuto.

Tsuchiya has also voiced Saeki Nao in Ao no Orchestra, Konno Kazuyuki in season 2 of In/Spectre and he is also in animated movie “Gridman Universe” (released in theaters on March 24th) with Crewel’s VA Ito Kent.

He also voiced Goshiki Tsutomi in Haikyuu!! with Floyd's VA Okamoto and Idia's VA Uchiyama, as well as main protagonist Fujita Tatara in Welcome to the Ballroom.

In mid-February he performed on stage with group FUKAIPRODUCE-hagoromo in “Platonic Body Scrum."

In 2022 he appeared as a guest in episodes 30 and 31 of Deuce’s VA Kobayashi Chiaki’s “Blue Monologue."

Tsuchiya has a pet dog that he has named Epel

Thus far he has appeared in two Twisted Wonderland Exhibition promotional videos with Vil’s VA Aiba Hiroki.

In a promotion for “The Seven Voice Museum” anime he explains what he would do if a robber invaded his house: “I have a dog whom I love very much and I imagine he would bark, but he loves people…so that would be a problem. If the robber kicked my dog I would beat them up. But if the robber thought that my dog was cute, then…if I had eggs in my refrigerator I would make omelette rice for them and listen to what they have to say. I would give them a DVD from a series that I am in. Tell them, ‘Hey, watch this and cheer up.’"

Hey! I was wondering if you know any fic where Sherlock and John have an actual conversation in TEH where they sit down and discuss their feelings? I know that’s not very much like them at all (and that’s why they didn’t do it lol) but I would love to see it to heal by heart a little bit.

Tbh I just needed them to come back slowly to what they were before and I feel like they never quite did *cries*

Thank you! (and sorry for all the long text)

Hey Nonny!

Ahhh, funnily enough, I THOUGHT I did have a list, but apparently not one dedicated specifically to them actually talking, LOL! I think it's because I consider them to be "confession" fics instead :P So let's start a new list! Yay! I just perused for the "communication" tag, so enjoy!"

Enjoy!

Hot Water Bottle by khorazir (T, 18,436 w., 1 Ch. || Post TLD / TFP Doesn’t Exist, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Misunderstandings, Communication, Demisexual Sherlock, Bisexual John, Autumn, Bed Sharing, Developing Relationship, First Kiss) – A case in one of the remotest corners of the Lake District, a storm, an inn, a broken boiler, a room with two beds but only one hot water bottle, and two men who have a lot to sort out between them – all of this makes for a night to remember.

Loosed Reins by AggressiveWhenStartled (E, 35,095 w., 11 Ch. || Fighting, BAMF John, Explicit Consent, Safe Sex, Power Dynamics, Arguing About Feelings, Communication) – “You’ve stuffed an entire body into the fridge this time,” John accused. “What happened to the milk? The leftover risotto? My bloody jam?” Sherlock opened his eyes at that. “As a doctor, it should be readily apparent to you that there is only a partial body in our refrigerator. Popular horror stories notwithstanding, it’s rare for an entire corpse to fit into one this size. I had to cut it up into several parts to pack it in, and there is still only seven eighths of it there.” John stared at the ceiling. “That’s... not better.” Part 1 of Arguing and Corpses

In Bed by Ellipsical (E, 46,922 w., 12 Ch. || Autofellatio, Vibrators, Rimming, Blow Jobs, Coming Out, Liminal Identities, Christmas, Sex Toys, Sexual Fantasy, Fingering, Jealous John, Therapy, Flirting, Texting, Fluff, Sherlock’s Violin, Anal, Est. Rel., Semi-Public Sex, Harry Watson, Communication, Coming in Pants, Spitroasting, Double Penetration, Dirty Talk, Internalized Homophobia, Self-Acceptance, Happy Ending, PTSD John, Coping Mechanisms, Angst, Hurt/Comfort) – It’s almost Christmas, John thinks, and this, this is bullshit. The epilogue to Guilty Secrets. Part 2 of Guilty Secrets

The Night Is Darkest by missselene (E, 48,461 w., 8 Ch. || Post-TLD, Extremely Dub Con, S4 Rage Monster John, Insecure Sherlock, Self-Esteem Issues, Sexual Exploration, Healing, Self Care, Self Acceptance, Sexual Exploration, Casual Sex, Gentle Sex, Sherlock/OMC, Threesome with 2 OMCs, Implied/Referenced Domestic Violence, Communication, Internalized Homophobia, Relationship Negotiation) –  Sherlock Holmes would do anything for John Watson... and that includes letting John do whatever he wants to him. What would it take for Sherlock to stand up for himself and finally start taking care of his own needs?

The Noble Heart by All_I_need (E, 98,574 w., 27 Ch. || S3 Fix It, Minor Character Death, Slow Burn, Grief, Pining Sherlock, Bed Sharing, Hurt/Comfort, Communication, Fluff, Mary is Not Nice, Massages, Friends to Lovers) – When John's wedding gets horribly derailed on the big day itself, it falls to Sherlock to help him pick up the pieces, even if it means letting others do the sleuthing for once. But as the police embarks on what looks like a simple murder investigation, the case soon turns into something else entirely as more and more details about Mary's life emerge. But Mary wasn't the only person keeping secrets and Sherlock knows it's only a matter of time until his own will come to light.

I know nobody asked but I'm currently imagining myself slow dancing in the kitchen at 2 am with Kenshin to this soundtrack and I'm having a nice time :)

Sense of Speed: Royal Enfield Continental GT650 “KAI” by Koichi Fujita of @anbucustommotors, built for @royalenfield Custom World. “I imagined a racing machine that was used on the track in the 1970s to 1980s, but modified so that it could be ridden on open roads.” Conventional 38mm Kayaba forks with one-off billet yokes, YSS X-Series rear suspension with custom mounts / subframe, hand-shaped aluminum tank and tail, carbon fiber fairing with offset headlight (an AN-BU signature), custom steel exhaust “like a snake coiling around a spike,” and much more.” Special thanks to @tadashi_kohno.

Wakana  New Album『Sono Saki e』 Rapid-Fire Full Album Listening Event

Wakana is live-streaming a “Rapid-Fire Full Album Listening Event” on her Official YouTube Channel. It's Wakana’s wish to listen to all the songs together with the fans. The event will be moderated by Takumi Fujita. While listening to the 11 songs recorded for the album, Wakana will share her thoughts and a few anecdotes from the recording process. Edit: Oh no, they made the video private. I had hoped they would archive it T_T I replaced it with the “Butterfly Dream” MV.

Initial thoughts:

M1. Butterfly Dream: Still not sold on the song (especially not as a leading track) but I am feeling more favourable towards it today. Maybe because my mood is better XD Or maybe because I finally got to watch the full MV. Waaahh, I am obsessed with it. M2. Rapa Nui: Wow, the song lives up to its title. A refreshing sound. Although it’s more Celtic than Polynesian. I am digging it, especially smitten with the verses. I can imagine the chorus will grow on me after a few more listens.    M3. 標(Shirushi): Hearing the rest of the song again makes me appreciate it more. I just have to be in the right mood for this, then it is 100% going to make tear up.   M4. 希望(Kibou): The type of ballad I adore. Instant favourite.   M5. 殻(Kara): Great vocals. Never been a huge fan of the Spanish guitar but I am liking the arrangement. It works for Wakana. Reminds me a bit of “Tsubasa” which is not a bad thing I guess. M6. そのさきへ～(Sono Saki e) ~Interlude~: Can never say no to a lovely piano arrangement. Still not sure why we needed it but oh well XD  M7. KEMONO feat. Shin'ya Kiyozuka: Oh no T_T This is absolutely NOT what I had hoped for. Getting flashbacks to some of my more recent Keiko song reactions. I wish it wasn’t the case but every cell in my body is literally rejecting this type of song.    M8. 明日を夢見て歌う(Asu wo Yume Mite Utau): To think that my initial reaction to this was rather lukewarm and now it’s one of my favourites XD  M9. Flag: Still solid.  M10. そのさきへ(Sono Saki e): It’s quite nice with beautiful vocals but the chorus doesn’t have enough oomph for me. One part of the verse sounds a bit like “Colors of the Wind” from Pocahontas so I was hoping for a similarly epic chorus. Alas, it’s a little bland :-( M11. あとひとつ(Ato Hitotsu): So happy to have a clear and pure studio version of this.

I wanna create a music playlist that fits with the ikesen boys, but so far among my music playlist I can only find songs that can match with Mitsuhide. So let me share a few songs from my playlist that I think describe Mitsuhide the best.

Inuyasha ost. Affections touching across time. Cover by Raon Lee

You need to turn on the english subtitle. The lyrics are painfully perfect for the impending farewell scene where Mitsuhide is crying saying he had to break his promise to you by sending you back to the future to save your life.

Hotaru by Fujita Maiko

I always imagine this song playing in the background when MC had to go along with Mitsuhide during the reconnaissance mission. Really convey how MC unable to tell Mitsuhide's feeling. Despite the pain of not knowing how he actually feels, she still likes him. The similarity with the kitsune mask from the anime is a cherry on top.
