mariam!!! okay now that tumblr unearthed that lost ask i also need to know what 3 songs you'd choose for each of your characters!! :'0 🎶
hello jenna!! 🤍🤍🤍 so so so sorry for the late response!! but in this time i've really gotten to think about which songs fit my ocs hghfhf i really had to use my brain cells for this bc you know i .... don't listen to english/lyric songs but at the same time i didn't want to just put instrumental/anime music for them 😔 this is like....new territory for me. so without further ado....
kiku: no introduction needed!! keywords: spring, pining, forbidden love.
reflection — mulan 1998: god. this is the kiku song. is anyone surprised??? Every single lyric just hits. i scream. “can it be i'm not meant to play this part? / now i see that if i were truly to be myself, i would break my family's heart.” SCREAM. “somehow i cannot hide who i am, though i’ve tried” i'm sobbing.
bloom — the paper kites. p i n i n g .... pure sweetness.
renai circulation — kana hanazawa: i haven't watched monogatari but this song is everywhere and everyone knows it. it just sounds so cute and the lyrics are So kiku....about feeling all 'fuwa fuwa' when your crush looks/smiles at you. and there's this lyric: ‘i know that the me that's inside of you isn't as big as the you that inside of me”, like, oh my god.
bonus: i love the way—from the something rotten! musical. kiku is both of the characters here 😌📚💕
and finally, spring by max richter....this is how kou makes kiku's heart feel :")
kou: the hardest one to find songs for. i guess it's just hard to find songs about....[gestures vaguely] gentle wise philosophical souls. kou is like....an ancient, loving olive tree.
constellations — the oh hellos: this is a song about how nothing is set in stone, how we try to find meaning in our experiences, how our perceptions of the word are constantly changing and falling apart, like tectonic plates, like constellations. kou is someone who muses a lot about the world and his experiences with it, especially as a blind person.
while my guitar gently weeps: from what i have read about this song, apparently it is about the universal potential of all of us to love and be kind, and how, for some people, that potential is still sleeping. being the philosophical healer that he is, i like to think kou muses on these things too.
telephone number — junko ohashi: ahhh japanese city pop....i love this song, it's so cheesy and sweet. kou loves loves loves talking to kiku on the phone, even more so since he can't see him,,and he loves his voice so much and he's always waiting for him to call :')) 'don't forget my telephone number, i want you to dial it anytime you're worried' ☎️💕
mull of the mountains: a lovely celtic harp! this piece is just so peaceful and tender and soothing. this is the energy kou gives off 🤍
naomi: overachiever, eldest daughter, no-nonsense. sharp, cold, elegance.
therefore i am — billie eilish.
oh no! — marina and the diamonds: the naomi song....omg. “don’t do love, don't do friends, i'm only after success” hello??? and i love the duality of confidence and anxiety in this song. “i know exactly what i want and who i want to be / i know exactly why i walk and talk like a machine” and “one track mind, one track heart / if i fail i'll fall apart”.
caprice no. 24 — paganini: this is a piece renowned for its difficulty....i always imagine naomi trying to play it. and its sharpness reminds me of her too.
aida: disney princess, wants so much more than this provincial life, adventure in the great wide somewhere....
when will my life begin? — tangled ost: the perfect song for aida! she's bored by the routine in her life and craves something new and exciting. she does make the most out of each day but also she just wants something new, you know?
belle — beauty and the beast ost. aida walking around the village in the early morning to buy ingredients for breakfast...
what the hell — avril lavigne: “all my life I've been good, but now i'm thinking what the hell, all i want is to mess around.” WOW. aida is such a goody two shoes who sets an example of how others should act but sometimes it's like. aren't you tired of being nice? don't you just want to go apeshit? i just think it's really funny. these feelings surface especially after she meets the world's #1 troublemaker, kaname.
kaname: gaslight gatekeep girlboss. eat the rich.
bad guy — billie eilish.
royals — lorde: “i've never seen a diamond in the flesh”, “we aren't caught up in your love affair”, “we’ll never be royals, it don't run in our blood”. kaname also definitely turns up her nose at the lavish decadent lifestyles of the wealthy.
anklebiters — paramore: 'someday you're gonna be the only one you've got' okay! scream.
buddy, ryo — devilman crybaby ost.
shou: gothic, weird, eerie. like a wisp of dark darting between the trees....not really of this world...
control — halsey.
seven devils — florence + the machine.
meet me in the woods — lord huron: this song is delightfully gothic and creepy and otherworldly. just like shou is, constantly straddling the line between this world and the world of the dead.
little dark age — mgmt.
hajime: the knight in the knight-and-prince dynamic. has the unfortunate dilemma of crushing on said prince.
tongue tied — grouplove: something about being in love with your best friend 😳😳
somebody else — the 1975.
king and lionheart — of monsters and men.
zen: extremely bisexual. he's just here for a good time not a long time. he's the complete opposite of kiku in that he revels in his lavish decadent lifestyle and wouldn't have it any other way.
how to be a heartbreaker — marina. this is his anthem tbh....zen doesn't know the meaning of commitment. he loves playing around,,,breaking hearts,,,,but what's going to happen when he actually catches feelings??
young and beautiful — lana del ray. everyone loves zen....but will they still love him even when he's no longer young and beautiful? i like to think it's an insecurity of his. also #doriangray vibes....
god, i hate shakespeare — something rotten! ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS EVER JGJDKSJGJ this is scandalous of me to admit as an english major.......anyway this is absolutely zen energy. bizarrely, i like to imagine this is a dialogue between zen and kiku hghfhgj

Summer Anime 2017
As the temperature rises and students finish up the school year, it is time to say goodbye to spring and hello to summer! After picking up my badge for this year’s Anime Expo (AX), I feel that it’s appropriate to reflect back on this past anime season. Spring season has given me a variety of great shows to watch, such as Tsuki ga Kirei, Eromanga-sensei, Attack on Titan 2, etc., while also surprising me with the amazing show known as Boku no Hero Academia. Now with the anticipation of AX hanging over my shoulders, I am more than ready to start the SUMMER ANIME SEASON!!!
Here are the shows that I am planning on watching:
- Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu
AHHHH I’VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS SINCE IT WAS ANNOUNCED! LETS GO!
Tumblr media
- Ballroom e Youkoso
An anime on ballroom dancing…as a dancer it’d be a crime to not watch it!!!
Tumblr media
- DIVE!!! 
What can I say…I’m sports anime trash.
Tumblr media
- Koi to Uso
The premise of this show seemed interesting and Kana Hanazawa is one of the main characters!
Tumblr media
- Netsuzou TRap
I’m probably cursing myself by watching a Shoujo Ai anime for the first time…but I’m curious hehehhehe
Tumblr media
- Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun
A sports anime with a clean-freak protagonist naturally poked my interest.
Tumblr media
- Tsurezure Children
Each episode is only 15 minutes, but COME ON the characters are adorable!
Tumblr media
- Fate/Apocrypha
There’s a lot of hype for this and it’s connected to the Fate franchise! WOOO!
Tumblr media
- Konbini Kareshi
I actually have no excuse why I’m watching this…LOL XD
Tumblr media
- Hitorijime My Hero
YAOI YAOI YAOI YAOI
Tumblr media
Leftovers:
- Boku no Hero Academia 2
I picked this show up on a whim and I can say that I now understand the hype for this anime. I never expected to love the show and it’s characters so much to the point that I’m begging all of my anime friends to watch it so that they can geek over it with me. Consider me a part of this fandom from now on!
Tumblr media
I’m super, super excited to start watching these shows! This summer season is even more special since I am starting it by attending all 4 days of AX. I am cosplaying as Yuuri Katsuki from…you guessed it, Yuri!!! on ICE. Plus, I have a chance to meet Kubo-sensei and Yamamoto-sensei! In the words of Yuuri, “I’m still in denial that this is actually happening!”
Tumblr media
I’m praying to the anime gods that I will be able to get autographs from both of these lovely ladies and attend their panel. While I wait in line in the ungodly hours of the morning, I will be waiting to start this great line-up of anime. Thanks for reading!
