Kinked out of bed-Yeosang and Yunho smut

Holy fuck, as i was writing this i got inspiration for three more poly chapters. This is the fucking gateway chapter right here folks XD

So i've made this chapter for two reasons 1) I was involved in a thirst ask and was asked to make it into a chapter. I also got one of my favorite writers to follow me! Thank you @vocalyunho

2) I've been wanting to make a poly au with ateez for a while now, inspired by @atotheteeny   so this is dedicated to both of them. I love you guys. I didn't go over this other than to make sure there were no spelling errors. So kinda unedited but i trust myself enough

warnings: Heavy fucking, dirty talk, nsfw with a few other members but you only have sex with the two listed in the title. Oral sex (Male and female receiving) Fingering, light mentions of sounding-not too much, good cop bad cop, angry sex, Teasing, the word fuck is the staple of this oneshot, Very unprotected sex (Wrap before you tap) Both holes fucking. (I probably forgot a few)

I got very self indulgent with this, i hope you enjoy~

Word count: 7000 words cause i got carried away.

This morning definitely isn't the best one you've woken up to. The floor isn't the best place to end up on, you've found. The reason as to why you're on the floor now is in your former spot on the bed next to Yunho. You aren't mad that Yeosang decided to worm his way into you and Yunho's night together at three am, he was warm to cuddle against but that mindset changed about five minutes ago when he literally kicked you out of the bed. Now the two of them are cuddling together. Both of them will feel your wrath today.

Downstairs the kitchen is already alive with Seonghwa cooking breakfast, the smell of kimchi rice already filling the air. Your arms wrap around his busy form. "I need help daddy." He rests a hand over yours. "I was wondering when you would wake up. What happened?" How did he- "I saw Yeosang in the bed when i went to check on you earlier. He looked like he was about to push you away from Yunho, let me guess; he kicked you out of bed?" you huff into his back. "Why didn't you take me to your room, or wake me up?" Seonghwa shrugs and flips the pan. "I guess i wanted to see you fired up, you're really sexy when you are." He still didn't tell you if he would help you or not. The both of you sway in place.

"So will you help me?" Small fingers prod into his sides hard enough to make him do his awkward laugh. "If you tell me what you plan on doing i could maybe help you."

"I wanna tease them! So will you help me and tell the others?" Honestly, it's like pulling teeth to get help from him. "If you go wake the others up before breakfast gets cold, yes." A giggle erupts from you as you make your way towards the stairs. "If......." There it is, the damn catch. You do a 180 to look at him, leaning against the counter with a shit-eating grin  on his face. "You let me use the chastity belt on you." A small grimace forms on your face, the bottom of your stomach tossing however.  "Deal." "And..." "Oh what now?"

He starts to pout at you. "Wheres my kiss?" Oh, how could you have forgotten. Seonghwa pulls you into the kiss before you get completely to his spot, a light sound coming from him that could easily grow into a moan. He was already aroused by the idea of using the belt on you, seeing you in your panties setting him off even more. A smacking noise pulls your lips apart as you pull away from him giggling. "I have to go get them up Hwa, I'll come back down soon." Seonghwa reluctantly lets go of you but not before leaving one last peck on your lips.

The first few rooms were the easy ones to get up, Jongho ad Hongjoong were already awake. Then you arrived at San's room where you hear noises on the inside making you hesitate before opening the door. Whats the worst he could be doing, Masturbating?

"San~ faster~" Your breath catches in your throat. Wooyoung takes notice of you, quickly pushing San off of him. Though his dick is still in San's hand. "Hwa has breakfast done. But you two just come down when you're ready. No need to stop, just finish up-" You break out in laughter, you should have listened to the door better. Hopefully Mingi isn't too pre occupied. "Baby?" You gently call out, the light from the hallway illuminates his body enough to show him sprawled out on the bed; his boxers just barley hanging on his leg. It's such a cute habit of his, though it does have you entertaining certain activities in the morning. His eyes gently peel open once you start to shake him, he grabs your hand and pulls you into his chest and rolling over. "No baby, we gotta get up." Mingi lets out raspy giggles as you kiss over his cheeks, unable to get away from you. God he was so attractive in the morning. You almost don't want to leave the bed. "Stay with me." Dear sweet Jesus take me now. "I cant, Hwa has breakfast ready. So please get dressed and go down for me?" He lets out a sleepy "Okay" ad lets you on your way. In the hallway you pass Wooyoung who's hair is even more frazzled than when you saw him, his curls bouncing with each step.

In Yunho's bedroom you rip the blankets off of them but it's only enough to stir them. You take in their forms, wondering how you can piss them off today. Well, you have to start somewhere; you flick on the lights to their highest setting. Yeosang's eyes open up to glare at the lights bothering him. Throwing yourself in between them is enough to startle Yunho awake enough for you to bug. "Good morning sleepy heads! It's time to get up because Hwa made breakfast."

"But i want you for breakfast." Yunho grabs you by the waist, kissing the marks he left on your neck last night. You push him off, bouncing off the bed. It leaves him confused and adorable as hell in his morning blush state. "Hurry up now boys, or we'll eat without you." Both of them take in the sight of you dawned in Yunho's over sized shirt and the pink lacy underwear peaking out from underneath. You wiggle your hips for good measure, padding out of the room soon as you do. The other six of your boyfriends are already in the kitchen eating the delicious breakfast Hwa made. "Thank you for breakfast daddy." You give seonghwa a kiss as he hands you a plate. Mingi pulls you into his lap, resting his head on your shoulder. "Feed me?" His hands wrap around your waist not waiting for you answer.

You don't notice the blonde next to you until ne nuzzles into the side of your face. He always does this when he wants a kiss. All you do is ignore him and continue to feed the red head under you. Yeosang grumbles something under his breath and kisses you on the cheek. Everyone continues the conversation like nothing's wrong, after breakfast you take everyone's plate and giving them kisses. Except Yunho and Yeosang, you don't even take their plates. "Oh! I'm so sorry i forgot." They both give you the okay, but their tones say otherwise. One you're done with the dishes you follow everyone into the living room. Wooyoung grabs you by wrist and pulls you into his lap. He kisses and licks up your neck, making you sigh in content, what makes it even better is Yunho setting right beside you two and Wooyoung keeps batting his hands away every time he tries to help out. Hwa must have already informed everyone on the plan for today. "Hmm" Wooyoung grinds into you and tugs at your shirt.

"Did you get this out of Mingi's closet? It's far too big to be yours."  It's obviously Yunho's shirt on you , he was wearing it before he whisked you away to his room, starting your night of pleasure. Everyone knows it's his shirt on you. "It's mine." Speak of the devil, Yunho looks at Wooyoung in disbelief. "Oh sorry,  guess I've never noticed you wearing it." Even though that's the exact shirt Woo complimented him on yesterday, but good try baby. Woo uses a condescending tone, he dismisses the other man without a second though to pull you into him more. He slips his hand in between your thighs to palm your covered crotch. Perhaps he was trying to rile Yunho up by making you whine so close to his lap, or maybe he was just trying to get back at you for this morning but he stops his movements and just rests his hand on your pussy. No one in the room takes notice of you beside Yunho who can't take his eyes off of Woo who now has his other hand up your shirt to cup your boob.

Yunho's breathing hitches when he watches San also crawl into Wooyoung's lap, pressing his chest against yours. He takes your lips in his own, a hand slipping down past your lacy underwear, the ones that Yunho had bought for you. Something in Yunho sparks up as he see's San hand in your panties. Because he had bought those so he could be the one to slip his fingers past them, to pull them off your body; Not san. "You did such a good job picking these out for us baby doll." Sn forces you to rut against his hand, he needs you to crave more of his touches. "It's so easy to slip fingers past them. Oh look at her, she's whining for more. Look at her Yunho~" He grabs your face and turning it to Yunho, pressing his cheek against yours. "Doesn't she look so good for me? I bet she wouldn't mind me ripping these off right here in front o everyone. Wouldn't you Y/n?" The only response you give is a mewl, San takes this as a chance to slip two fingers up into you to curl. You make the most beautiful face towards Yunho but it isn't because he's making you feel good. He storms up out of the room, clearly having a flustered friend in his pocket he should calm down.

San kisses you hard, shoving his tongue into your mouth making sure he remembers you correctly. He takes his fingers out of you and replaces his tongue with them. "Now be a good girl and clean them off." He's turned himself on too much, his eyes now dark and the look of corruption in his eyes. He wants nothing more than to be able to bend you to his every will right now. Your tongue swirls around his fingers, saliva dripping out the corners of your mouth. Wooyoung makes sure he isn't forgotten by gently pressing kisses to your shoulder blades that have been exposed due to the shirt shifting, he still molds your breast like a clump of clay in his hand. You pop off of San's fingers watching as he takes them into his mouth to collect the saliva you left behind. He slips off of Woo's knees into the spot Yunho used to be.

Across the room Yeosang looks at you in utter shock and something else you can't quite read. What the fuck did you three just do that you're able to convert back to your bubbly selves so quickly? A second ago San was all but mounting you and now it looks like you're a bunch of church kids getting ready for worship. He changes his mind as you look at him with dark eyes, eye fucking him on the spot.  "Well i think i'm going to go grab a shower." Yeosang stands up almost too quickly and latching himself to your waist. "How about i join you?" He whispers in your ear, pulling your ass to rest on his crotch. Looks like your little Yeosang has a thing for live action porn. "No i'm fine Sangie." You whip around and give him the most innocent smile ever, one that you only show Seonghwa. As you leave Yeosang can't help but feel embarrassed in front of everyone, his hard on visible to all eyes.

By the bathroom door you wait and watch for Yeosang to come up the stairs. Phase two of your plan commencing as you see him turn the corner. You slip back in the shower and start your act. "Augh~ Yeosaaaang!" The footsteps stop. "Oh fuck Sangie I love your fingers so much!" The footsteps now come closer to the bathroom. "Y/n?.....Are you okay?" Perfect, he grabbed the bait. "Yea Sangie, did you need something?" Your voice is back to normal. "Oh, no i just thought i heard you crying. I love you."

"I love you too!" He begins to walk away. "Yeosang i love your tongue on my pussy! God i want your cock" You make sure to say it very dramatically this time. The knocking on the door is almost immediate. "Y/n are you sure you're okay. Can i come in for a second?" He sounds so confused and worried, right where you want him. "Sangie i told you 'm fine." You laugh at him, your voice doing a 180 again. "Can i just please come in for a second?" You wrap a towel around yourself and open the door, showing him your wet hair and running water. "Yes?" Your voice feigns annoyance, watching him grow pink in the face. "I-i'm sorry. I'll be on my way then. Thank you." He walks off and enters his room, shutting it with more force than intended. This plan of your's is growing beautifully.  

**************

"Yea i'm good Umma, How's Noona doing?" Jongho pokes your side, motioning to Yeosang on the phone. You give him a little high five and a kiss, breaking up your little cuddle session to give Yeosang a warm hug; witch he returns with his free arm. Meanwhile your small hand creeps down to the back of his waistband, shimmying their way to the front. He gives you a warning glance, his blonde locks falling into his face and making him even more tempting. How rude of him to look at you so coldly, you counter his face by giving him a warm and smiley one. Your hands slip past his jeans and underwear, his Adams apple bobs hard to keep his sounds from going into his poor mother's ear. Your delicate fingers swipe over the slit of his cock, one of your nails poking into it. A loud whine leaves him. "I just stubbed my toe is all, i'm fine." he covers his next moan with a laugh, your nail sliding further in until it reaches your nail bed, his breaking point. "Hey, i actually have to go. Yea no, i know i just got called to a last minute meeting. Thank you for calling Umma. I love you, tell dad for me?" Never in his life has he ended a call so fast, his hand trapping yours in place by your wrist. "What the fuck are you doing Y/n?" He forces your other hand in his pants, not caring about the boy mere feet from him. "What do you mean Sangie?" Your voice is angelic, it pisses him off that you can keep your composure so easily. Your phone in your back pocket buzzes, Yeosang's eyes grow to the size of dinner plates. You rip both of your hands out of his pants, he doubles over and lets out a strangled cry. If only he knew the culprit for his pain is Jongho who texted you winky faces. You saunter back over to him to resume your movie spooning session, Yeosang drags himself to the couch opposite of you glaring, wide eyed, mouth agape and breathing erratic. He runs a hand through his hair to ground him back into reality.

After about five minutes when he looks somewhat normal again, his eyes light up once you sit on his lap, grinding your hips against his. He made the mistake of letting you get away before, he won't make it again. Sangie keeps your hips on him as he grinds you into him harder and faster planning to get off on your clothed heat. He rests his head on your shoulder to moan into your ear. "God, you little sphinx. Why do you do this to me?" Not a question he expects you to answer, instead moaning into you harder.

The front door opens, startling him enough for you to slip out of his grip, bouncing over to Yunho and Seonghwa who just game back from the store, grocery bags in hands. You can hear Yeosang's groan of frustration from the living room, soon followed by Jongho's string of laughter. The groceries in Yunho's hands are quickly forgotten once you start to pull him away. "C'mon Yunho, i wanna play a game with you~" He's confused but his male hormones easily allow you to guide him to his room where you push him onto the bed, ripping his shirt off in the process. He helps you pull off your pants, his shirt falling over your panties. "God i love these panties." Yunho pushes the shirt up to show off your belly as you crawl over his crotch, beginning to unbutton his pants. He leans back on his forearms as he pulls you into a desperate kiss. "I've been wanting to rip them off of you all day." You let him throw you under him, shoving his large hands up your shirt. "Is this why you've been teasing me all day, You wanted this too?" His tongue is hot in his open mouthed kisses on your belly.  "Just didn't get enough last night, did you?" He presses down on your belly. "Were you craving my cock again?" He presses harder. "Were you wanting it to bulge out your stomach right here cause you're just so fucking small for my cock to go anywhere else." His hand presses harder, eliciting a moan from you. "Look at you, i haven't even touched your pussy and you're already moaning. Why is that? Is it because of my hand?" The pressure on your stomach almost becomes painful, a whimper leaving.

"Sangieeee~" The last motion of your plan set and it's working out beautifully. Yunho stops touching you, instead looking at you in shock. "What did you say?" He asks in a tone that has you wishing you never called out your other boyfriends' name. "Yunh-" "What game are you playing Kitten?" Both of you look to the doorway that has Yeosang leaning against it angrily. The man on top of you looks from him to you. "What is he talking about?" Yeosang shuts the door roughly. "Look back on today Yunho, why is it that she's only been teasing us?" Yunho keeps his eyes on you to think. "Ate breakfast when she 'Forgot' to take our plates and give us a kiss, that show beside you that her, Wooyoung and San put on. When she was taking a shower she was calling out my name in there, and right before you got home she was about to let me use her to get off on the couch. I came up here to see what she was doing only to find her calling out my name instead of yours. So tell us kitten, what did we do so wrong to make you treat us so coldly." He sits next to you and Yunho on the bed, holding your head by your chin. "Answer me. Now." You don't, only pulling him into a kiss which he gladly takes part in then tightening his grip and ripping you off of him. "That isn't an answer kitten." His glare is so cold, you hide in the crevice of Yunho's shoulder, wrapping your limbs around his body. "So that's how you're gonna be huh?" Before you can register it, you're sitting upright and leaning against Yeosang's chest against the headboard. Yeosang pulls you away from Yunho to be more against him, you sit in between his legs as he reaches his hands up your shirt to play with your breasts. "Isn't this how Woo does it kitten, just how you like it." Yunho rests on his calves, pulling your legs to rest over his hips to expose your core to him. He rubs on the outsides of your thighs. You respond to Yeosang's touches by melting into him and reaching up to play with his hair. Yunho takes notice and pulls your fingers out of his blonde locks. He begins kissing your knuckles, traveling up your arm as he continues. "Hmm" Your eyes close in bliss. Your plan couldn't have been so bad to have two gorgeous men's hands on you like this.

"I'm so glad to see you enjoying yourself Kitten, now will you tell us what's upsetting you?" Yeosang's voice tickles your ear as he husks into it. Again, you don't answer him. He places light kisses to your neck. "Augh!" You squeeze Yunho's hand hard, feeling teeth indents from Yeosang's fang-like canines that refuse to let go of the skin of your neck. No matter how hard you whimper and squirm underneath him, he refuses to let go; Yunho's hand taking hard abuse. You try to pull into Yunho when Yeosang holds you in place with his knee's squeezing around your hips, his hands holding your chest in a painful grip. "Y-Yeosang...It hurts!" Your hands now unable to move, restricted by Yunho. "Just tell us what's wrong Y/n. Please? we want to make you feel better. I'll make him stop if you do~" Yunho's sweet words are tempting but your resolve is much stronger than the jaw of your boyfriend. You refuse to tell them why you've been a brat all day. "It hurt when you pulled your hands out of my pants, this is your punishment kitten."

"AH!" He clamps down on the other side of your neck, aiming for the crook, it sting is far worse now that he's hit a tendon. "That was stupid of you baby. You probably made Yeosang's cock hurt when you left him. Don't forget i should be punishing you too~" You brace yourself as Yunho draws his face closer to the fresh bite marks Sangie left, letting out a cry of relief as you feel his hot moisture of his tongue rub over the track marks. He relaxes your muscles with every lap, sucking on the spot just above the bite marks.

You can't deny the moisture that pools between your thighs as they continue. Yunho's grip is hard as you try to pull your hands away from his. You try to wiggle away harder, this predicament any other time would be heaven if not for the heavy teasing that might actually snap their ego's more. Now you want to tease them more, seeing how far you can test your luck and the rope they keep letting out for you to tug on. They only react harder with their mouths, whines and whimpers leaving your own. You grind against Yunho's crotch, your back hitting lightly against Yeosang. He rips his hand out of your shirt and grabs your jaw, turning it so your ear is against his mouth. "Stop fighting, right fucking now." Or what? What will he really do? You grind your ass into him, your back hitting against his chest rather hard.

Yeosang pushes Yunho off of you, almost off the bed. He pulls your shirt over your head, pushing you down and holding you there by his knee in the small of your back. "No, i want her to see this." Yunho gently pulls the shirt over Sangie's head, he helps flip you over onto your back, Yeosang replacing his knee on your stomach with his shin resting in between your legs. He made sure to place your hands behind your back before pinning you. "I swear to god if your hands move from behind your back i promise you i will make it to where no one in this house will give you an orgasm for months." Only when you nod your head does Yunho puts his hands back on the younger's chest. They lean in above you, beginning to kiss one another.

The wight on your stomach gets heavier as their tongues get involved with one another. It's sexy as hell, Yunho's shirt must have gotten lost in the mix up because Yeosang licks a stripe up his bare chest as he works on unbuttoning his pants. You breathe in deeply as Yeosang removes his leg from you. "Sit up straight on your knee's, spread them." It would be stupid of you not to obey him and heed his warning. Yeosang would be able to fulfill it before the night is over, he's damn good at charming people into doing his bidding. You climb off the bed and rest your knee's on the pillow Yunho had dragged off his bed for you. "Your marks are so pretty baby, me and Sangie did such a good job of coloring you in. Well- I guess we've only colored the outside of you so far." Yunho laughs at his own Joke, his tone changing too fast for your liking. "Don't worry, we'll fix that soon." Even though his tone changed, somehow he manages to make his words sound comforting. "Now be a good Kitty and make Yunho feel good." Yeosang drags you to Yunho's half erect member by your hair. You take hold of it in your hands, it's quite large for only being half hard. Your fingers make quick work to pump him a few times to get the rest of him up and running. Yeosang's harsh fingers are replaced by Yunho's gentle ones. "Open up for me baby~" He coaxes, helping you slide himself into your mouth, understanding of it's size. Your tongue flattens as much  as it can, caressing the long under-vein as his head makes it's way to the back of your throat. Once it reaches your uvula you tap his thigh on his thigh telling him he's deep enough. He's only one third in your mouth but your jaw is already sore. "Baby, cant you take even a little mor- AISH!" Your jaw clamps down hard on Yunho as Yeosang lands a hard smack to your ass. Yunho wiggles his thumbs into the corners of your mouth to open your jaw faster. He steps back and nurses his hurt dick. "I'm so sorry Yunho-ah, i wasn't expecting Sangie to sm-ACK!" He laid another to you. "I told you to spread your legs, do as i say." He spreads them for you, your knee's just barley on the pillow still.

"AH!" Another hard slap, but you did as he said, so why? "That was for biting Yunho, better suck his dick good to make up for it." Yeosang leaves your side again, Yunho in front of you once again smiling like you didn't almost clamp off his most prized possession. You take it in your hands, licking the slit in an apology before wrapping your lips around the head; doing your best to fit it in your mouth again. He still helps you until you take the rest of him in your hands, what wont fit in your mouth. "Your mouth is so nice baby~" He holds your hair gently as he rocks his hips into your mouth.  "Oh god baby, you're always so nice to me. Always so willing to droll around my thick cock in that little mouth of yours O-Oh just like that." You squeeze the base of him and suck as you bob back and forth. "Don't forget this is a punishment whore." You whimper on Yunho's dick as Yeosang drags his tongue along your folds. You didn't realize he had slipped in between your legs on the pillow. Did Yunho put the pillow down for you or him?

Your focus is lost on Yunho as Yeosang flicks his tongue inside you. Avoiding where you want him most. "Don't forget about me now Baby." Yunho tightens his grip on your hair, moving you for him. "Aww, it's okay baby, i'm not mad. Sangie must be making you feel too good Isn't that right?" You nod your head, not really listening to his words, They're already making your head feel fuzzy and you know you're no where near started. You and Yunho moan in unison as Yeosang slips a finger inside you, the vibrations traveling to his dick. Your hips rock into Yeosang, you feel his lips curve into a smile. He flicks his tongue faster, digging his free hand into your ass.

You gag on Yunho, swallowing hard and coughing. Yunho's hips buck violently and you watch him smirk deliciously. "Relax your throat for me baby...C'mon you can do it, just tap out if you need to." He senses your foggy brain, willing to help you pleasure him as Yeosang continues to tease your hole. It clenches tightly every time he slips his fingers out and rub it against your folds. You relax your throat the best you can, Holding onto Yunho's thighs for support. Once you give him the okay he begins the torture against your windpipe. He forces his cock down your throat enough to hit the back of it, his pelvic bone only a few inches away from your nose. He lets out higher pitched moans and grunts, making sure to keep constant eye contact with you. "God damned baby girl-Oh shit. Fucking shit!" Yunho now has both of your hands against your head, abusing your mouth, imagining it as the hole Yeosang is taking. Said man stops his actions to look up and watch Yunho's dick disappear in your mouth almost as soon as it pulls out. Right now is the perfect time for him to make you go crazy. Without warning Yeosang shoves three fingers inside of you, wrapping his lips around your clit. All the new stimulation drives you into a frenzy of moans and whines. If Yunho didn't have his dick in your mouth, you're sure you would be screaming. "Oh fuck i'm gonna cum!" Yunho's hips begin to falter. "Gonna make you swallow all of it. All of my fucking cream down your goddamned throat.--God you're gonna thank me so m-u-uuch" Ribbons of his semen spurt down your throat, you're unable to even taste it before it begins to fill your stomach, You're hitting on his thighs harshly; desperate for any intake of air. He quickly pulls out for you to cough up cum and gasp-nearly sucking it down your windpipe as you heave. Your body collapses, Yeosang still strong in his work. "Hmmmmma~" Your nails dig into the floor as Yeosang bites on your clit. Yunho comes in front of you to scoop up your torso and lean it against his chest as you sob in pleasure.

You let out a cry when Yeosang pulls away from you. You were so close to bursting the balloon in your abdomen too. Yunho rubs your back to help you come down from the cliff you were so close to jumping off of. "Did you think he was actually going to let you cum?" He leans back to lift your head up by two fingers.  "You really are a dumb slut." He says it with a smile, rubbing your noses together. Yunho lifts you up and puts you in the middle of his bed, giving you a kiss before bending down to place kisses on your lower lips. "Yunho please....S-sensitive." You groan as he puts two fingers inside you, curling them. "I know." Another kiss right above your clit, then on your inner thigh where he starts to suck a hickey into it. "Watch Yeosang and maybe i'll let you cum on my fingers." You quickly obey, wanting to cum so badly. You watch Yeosang as he leans his back up against the door, His member in his hand, lube in the other as he jerks himself off rapidly.His blonde baby mullet sticking to his forehead. He holds the lube up high, letting it fall down his stomach onto his hands where it rubs into his dick. Yeosang always loves to be messy while jerking off, it makes him get off faster.

Yunho slips out his fingers and shows them to you, they're a transparent creamy color, coating his fingers thickly. "Look how naughty our baby girl is."

"Oh Shiit." Instead of putting his fingers in your mouth like you thought he would, he pushes them into your asshole. Your hand wraps around his wrist that's in your asshole, trying to slow his thrusting down. "It's gonna be hard for you to take me if you don't let me prep you first baby. But maybe you want it to hurt." He puts two more fingers in and your pull your cheeks apart to help fit them better, tears falling past the corners of your eyes.

"Fuck Yunho, bring her over here. I can't wait anymore." Yeosang moans out, frustrated dick in his hand. Yunho picks you up by your hips, your back resting against his chest as he opens your legs up, Yeosang putting some lube on his dick for him to slide into your tight ass. Your fingers dig into your worn skin at the stretch. You feel so full by the time he bottoms out to his balls inside you. Looking at Yeosang with greediness in your eyes, your head all but lolls to the side as you struggle to breath evenly.

"Yeosang.....Please fuck me. He wont let me feel good until you do. Please sink your cock into me." Yeosang is swift to fulfill your wishes, grunting as he quickly grinds your hips together. Your body shivers as he pours the lube on your stomach and breasts to match his own slicked up form. His hands rub the lube into your skin, that's when you notice it's oil based, it's gonna be a bitch to wash off later. You grip on his forearms once Yunho begins to move and bring pain to your back end. It's been quite a while since you've accommodated anyone back there. Yeosang's thrusts aren't gentle themselves, and he isn't trying to be. Shoving himself into your tight hole over and over, pushing your knees up against Yunho's chest. "Fuck, you tight bitch. How the fuck did...Yunho not stretch you out last night~" Yeosang says between thrusts.

"Our girl recovers fast Sangie, didn't you know?" Yunho then giggles. "You probably forgot since it's been so long since she's let you." That pissed Yeosang off more, making him thrust harder.

"Fuck both...of you.." A smirk comes to your face. "You are though Sangie." He grabs your face and makes you look at him. "Don't get smart with me, whore." He then spits into your mouth, covering it so you cant spit it out. "Swallow it, like the slut you are." You swallow it, as he's making it hard to breathe. "Good girl." You moan hard at that, melting into Yunho.

"I think she likes that." Yunho lifts your face up gently. "Don't you baby~ Such a good Baby~" You nod through your moan this time. "I do Yunho, i really do." You lock your lips with his, tangling your hand in his hair. "Fuck i'm gonna cum Yunho." You moan into his mouth, but then you whine as Yeosang pulls out completely. "No you aren't. You won't cum until i make you." Yeosang growls. Your whines become more frequent "Yunho~ Please let me cum." He isn't listening, more focused on slowing down his thrusts and holding you up. Yunho then slips back in and continues his treatment until you're clenching around him and he pulls out again.

"Sangie. Please." He pushes back into your cunt and just sits there. "No." is all he says. Yunho however is busy changing the speed of his thrusts, going as fast as he can muster then slowing down to almost nothing. He's edging himself.

"Yunho how close are you?" Yeosang asks. He lets out a groan, breathing heavy in your ear. "I....Have to...soon." He leans against your head, Yeosang brings him into a kiss. "Can you let me edge her three more times. Can you hold out till then?" His tone is so much more sweet than when he talks to you. You feel Yunho nod against you, his thrusts stopping completely.

"Are you glad you've made Yunho a mess slut? Proud of your work?" His fast thrust start up again. you hold onto his shoulders so he cant slip too far away, taking advantage of the fact that Yunho cant pull your arms back. "Answer me!" Yeosang thrusts in a way that it's painful. "Yes! I'm proud. I'm a proud little slut." Yunho's grip on you isn't as strong anymore and you grind against Yeosang. He has to pull out so he doesn't loose focus and he slaps you across the face.

"Don't do that again or else you won't cum at all." Your eyes go wide, understanding his threat loud and clear. He's true to his word he promised Yunho, he edges you twice before he brings Yunho into a last heated kiss. "You can work yourself back Up Yunho, i think she's learned her lesson." You had, you were so close to cumming, the knot in your stomach painfully swollen. You're out of breath , sweaty and fucked out of your mind. At this point you feel like you could fall asleep if not for the issue at hand, more like Yeosang's hands.

Yunho starts thrusting again, bringing the pleasurable sting to your ass once more. "Alright Whore, are you ready to scream?" You're already crying in frustration, moving your head to what feels like a nod but at this point you can't really tell.

"Yunho look, I've fucked her up enough she can't even say words. Just so cock hungry." More sobs fall past your lips and Yunho isn't too far behind from crying himself. "I'm gonna make you cum so hard." Yeosang slams his hips into yours and you can feel the bruises he's forming on your hips already. Then you feel Yunho saying things in your ear that you can't decipher other than guessing it's more praises, his hips stuttering on your ass cheeks and making them jiggle. You look down to watch Yeosang's dick slip in and out of you, you can see a bulge forming on your stomach where the both of them are pressing against each other and forcing the bump. You also see Yeosang;s pretty nails dig and scratch at your skin as they slip on the lube coating you two. The high that's approaching comes quickly, you let out strangles sobs as the dam begins to crack on them. You feel kisses on your neck and Hot liquid spilling into your ass, Yunho's grip on you getting tighter as his thrusts stop. Yeosang presses his forehead to yours. "Do it slut, Break on my cock." That skin on skin contact and comment is all it takes for the dam to break completely, liquid squirting out of your vagina and onto Yeosang's chest, all over your legs. Your arms wrap around Yeosang's neck as you sob into him, not able to form anything else with your mouth.

Yunho pulls out of you, his cum leaking out of your ass in an uncomfortable way, he transfers you into Sangie's arms and you koala yourself around him. He holds you up by your hips and takes you to the bathroom. You lazily open your eyes to see Jongho who looks worried at your state. He follows you two to the bathroom where they place you on the toilet to finish leaking out and to wipe the sweat off of you.

"Is she okay?"

Yeosang whips around, not noticing the boy following you two."She's okay. She just needs to go to the bathroom and take a shower is all." Yeosang gives you a peck to the forehead and rubs a damp cloth over your face. "Will you put a couple bottles of water and some cookies in my room?"

Jongho nods his head walking over to give you a kiss on the cheek before leaving.

Yunho comes back into the bathroom with three sets of p.j's, looking in a better state than you but still worn out. He turns the water on and gets you into the shower with Yeosang's help. You can barley stand on your own, having to lean against one of them at all times while they take turns washing you and themselves off. Yunho kisses the top of your head, holding you close to his chest. "You did so good baby. Such a good job."

Yeosang kisses your back, rubbing small circles into your hips to further help calm you down. You stand in the shower until your fingers start to prune up. They help you get dressed and carry you to Yeosang's room. His sheets are much more clean to sleep on. They sit you up on the headboard and hand you a water bottle and a cookie packet.

"You can lay down after you eat a cookie and drink about half the water." Yeosang sits next to you, Yunho on the other side as you all eat the snack and down the waters. You manage to drink all of the water bottle before handing it back. You curl into each other, sandwiched in between the two of them. Yunho snuggles his head into you hair and you begin to hear him snore.

Yeosang puts your foreheads together, making sure to kiss all over your face before stopping. "Why did you decide to tease us today, i forgot to make you tell me." A cheeky smile forms over your face.

"You kicked me out of bed this morning." He looks shocked, just staring at you. "That is why you gave me blue balls all day, because i kicked you out of the bed." You nod your head, snuggling into him even more. "You're in the middle so i won't be able to now."

We Make a Family- All Might X Inko My Hero Academia Fanfic. Ch.1 (SFW)

Toshinori Yagi, aka "All Might" was quietly grading papers at his desk when he heard the faint hum and felt the short vibration of his phone in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was a notification of a text message. He didn't recognize the number, so he stopped grading the papers for a moment to investigate. The message read,

"Hello, this is Inko Midoriya, Izuku's mom. You gave me your number the day you came and spoke with me and my son about the dorms. It's near the end of the first term, so I was wondering if we could discuss how Izuku is doing in school? When I ask him he only tells me "everything is fine" He seems too busy with his friends and school to talk to his worry wort mom so much anymore, haha. Oh dear this text is a lot longer than I meant it to be! Sorry! Please let me know if we can arrange a meeting!"

A small smile came across Toshinori's face. He began to text her back,

"Hello Mrs. Midoriya, it's nice to hear from you. I would love to discuss Izuku's progress in school with you. By the way, you can call me Toshinori, or just Toshi for short if you'd like. Unfortunately I will be quite busy grading almost a month's worth of papers this weekend, does Sunday night work with your schedule? I should be finished grading by then. If not I'm sure we could figure something out before the end of next weekend." He hit send, and then added her to his contacts as "Izuku Mom"

"Haha oh my gosh, please just call me Inko! Mrs. Midoriya makes me sound so old! XD

Besides, my husband passed away several years ago now, so I don't really go by "Mrs." so much anymore.

Sunday night would be perfect, time and place?"

Toshi's face fell from a small smile to a grimace. How did he not know that her husband had passed?

"My deepest apologies Inko, I was not aware that your husband had passed. Izuku never mentioned it, so I suppose I just assumed he had to be at work the day I came to speak with you.

I know a nice small restaurant not far from your house, it's owned by a lovely elderly couple and everything on the menu is homemade. We could discuss Izuku's schooling over dinner, maybe at 8? I'll take care of the bill, it's the least I can do to apologize for my error."

Toshi grit his teeth and hit send, hoping that he had not deeply offended her. A few minutes later he received another response from Inko.

"Thank you, and no worries, I forgive you! If no one told you, it wouldn't be fair to expect you to just know it. It makes sense that Izuku wouldn't tell you, he was still so little when his dad died that it doesn't cross his mind very often anymore. Kids are resilient like that.

Anyways, I think I know the restaurant you're talking about, but I haven't had the chance to check it out yet, so this makes for a great excuse to go! 8 sounds perfect, see you then!"

A smile of relief returned to Toshinori's face. He marked the date and time to make sure he wouldn't forget, and went back to grading papers.

Saturday came and went, and Toshi spent most of it behind his desk with a red pen and an intimidatingly long stack of papers. He knew he really shouldn't have let it build up and get this bad, but here he was paying the price. "Never again" he sighed as he completed the grading for a test. Hours later, he took a break to visit the UA Dorms for lunch and to see how the students were doing. Some students visited family on the weekends, others stayed and hung around the dorms, so it was less busy and crowded on the weekends. Toshi heard Bakugo, Kirishima and Jirou having one of their typical, obnoxiously loud weekend jam sessions upstairs as he approached. He smiled and chuckled to himself. When he entered the main dorm hall, Izuku, Ururaka and Ida were in casual clothing on the couch watching some sort of movie marathon. He ordered ramen for himself and the group and joined them for the second half of the movie. Once the credits came onscreen, he said goodbye to everyone and returned to his office to finish his work. Around 11pm he grew tired and decided to call it a day.

Sunday passed by relatively the same, except he finished grading the rest of the papers, and even organized them by assignment and in alphabetical order, much earlier than he thought he would, around an hour or two after having lunch with Izuku and his friends. There was no loud jam session at the dorms today, Izuku informed him that Bakugo's mom had called and yelled at him last night for not visiting last weekend and demanding that he come and visit. Everyone who slept in the dorm heard because both of them are rather loud and were screaming at each other over the phone, which for some odd reason was on speaker. Kirishima had taken to the weight room most of the day, and Jirou decided she may as well go visit her family today too because she had nothing else to do at the dorms.

Toshi spent his several hours of free time before the meeting with Inko Midoriya working out. At one point he stopped and decided to watch the news, but he turned it off not long after. It was heartbreaking for him to not be out there helping people, but he couldn't keep his "All Might Form" up more than a couple minutes now. He looked at the palms of his hands, then took a deep breath and exhaled a heavy sigh. He looked back at the binders full of papers, and thought about meeting Izuku, and his time teaching over this school year that is coming to an end soon. He smiled again. This was his purpose now, he finally understood. His gift was not only to be the world's most beloved Hero, no, now that his time in the spotlight was over, the new gift he would give to the world, is teaching the world's next generation of heroes.

He was teaching the boy who he believed would one day become the man who would take his place, and become the new Symbol of Peace. He thought about Izuku, then suddenly remembered something important after being lost in thought.

"Oh no, what time is it?"

He turned on his phone and checked the time, it was 7:30.

"I can't be late!"

He took the quickest shower of his life, threw on the best clothes he could find (nice khakis and a blue button-up shirt) and bolted out the door to his car. He made it to the restaurant with two minutes to spare.

He was still a little out of breath when he made it inside, buttoning the top of his shirt.

"Had a table reservation, last name Yagi"

The waitress smiled and said,

"Right this way sir, your friend is waiting for you!"

His stomach dropped. How long has she been waiting for him?

Then he finally saw her and stopped dead in his tracks for a split second behind the waitress.

She wore a beautiful lilac 8purple dress with a v line that was just low enough to show a slight bit of cleavage, Her hair was down and over her left shoulder, her eyelashes were longer and darker from mascara, and two long pretty earrings, one in each ear. He hadn't thought about it before, but she was an attractive woman even when they first met and she was in more casual clothing.

She finally saw him and they made eye contact.

"Hi!" She said a little nervously.

Toshi sat down and finally spoke,

"Oh, hey! You look...really good!"

She blushed.

"I overdressed, didn't I?"

She took hold of a section of her hair.

"You look dressed a little more nice-casual. I don't get out much, so I don't get a chance to wear my nicer clothes very often, I hope you don't mind."

Toshi shook his head.

"No no, I don't mind at all."

The waitress who was still waiting patiently finally spoke while handing them the menus.

"Alright, now that you're both here, what drinks would you like to start with?"

Toshi and Inko both looked up, equally mortified that they forgot the waitress was still there.

"Oh um just a glass of water for me please"

Inko said.

"Are you sure? I told you I got everything covered, just get what you want."

Inko waved her hand lightly.

"It's fine, I really do just want water, but thanks."

Toshi thought she was just being humble, but he didn't push it. He looked up to the waitress.

"A glass of sweet tea for me please."

She nodded and walked off to get their drinks.

"You weren't here for too long before I arrived were you? If so, I'm really sorry."

Inko chuckled.

"Not at all, I was only here for a few minutes, and besides you made it before 8 so you showed up on time!"

There was silence for a moment, looking at their menus.

"So, uh, what are you looking at getting?"

It took a second for it to register to Inko that he spoke to her.

"Oh sorry, lost in thought. Umm, I think I'll get the spaghetti and garlic toast"

Toshi smiled.

"What about you?"

Toshi thought for a moment.

"It's been a long time since I've had spaghetti, so I think I'll get that too actually!"

They smiled at each other.

The waitress showed up with their drinks and then took their orders.

"You know, Izuku's favorite food is spaghetti, I've made it a lot over the years. You'd think I'd get sick of it, but every time I see it I think of him. He's everything to me."

She takes a sip from her glass, and Toshi speaks.

"That's lovely. It's nice when little things remind us of the ones we care about."

He takes a drink himself and then Inko replies,

"So, about Izuku…I would really like to know how he's doing. He doesn't visit me so much anymore. I know he doesn't mean it, he's just busy being a kid and spending time with his friends and school and everything, it's just…."

She pauses for a moment.

"Ever since….Hisashi….It's just been Izuku and I. Never had pets growing up so I've never had one before. It's just me at home now, and work. Don't see friends very much because they're all busy with families of their own. I guess I've just been a little lonely lately." Inko took another drink from her glass and then stared down into it.

Toshi's expression softened with sympathy and he leaned forward a little.

"I'm sorry you feel that way. If it helps, I know he really loves you, he tells his friends about you, he asks for his best graded assignments back to show you. I'm sure if you talked to him he'd visit more often. He gets distracted easily with things sometimes, that's all."

Inko looked up from her glass, looking a little happier.

"It's nice to know that you pay attention to him so much. I know it means a lot to him to have your guidance in his life. Ever since Hisashi passed, he hasn't really had a father figure until...now."

They locked eyes, and a quiet understanding passed between them.

Just then the food arrived.

They ate in silence for a couple minutes. Toshi broke the silence.

"Izuku is doing really well with his schoolwork. Not straight A's mind you, but very few kids do. He's a solid A B student, which is the best you could realistically hope for. He turns things in early for subjects he has a firm grasp on, he gets help from classmates on things he struggles with. He's exercising every chance he gets, he has good friends and they spend a lot of time together, they push each other to give it their all. He's definitely one of the best students of his class."

Inko smiles wide.

"That's really good to hear! I know I was probably worrying for no reason."

Toshi chuckles.

"I think it's a parent's job to never stop worrying!"

They were both chuckling now. Inko says,

"So, do you have any kids?"

Toshi finished a bite of spaghetti and replied,

"Unfortunately no, I never really had time for relationships, so kids couldn't really be part of the picture either. If I had any, I wouldn't have gotten to be around them very much, which could hurt their development, so, it's probably for the best."

Inko finished a mouthful of spaghetti and spoke,

"It's really meaningful for you to admit that. Do you think not having kids of your own affected your decision to become a teacher?"

Toshi took a drink and thought about it for a moment.

"You know, I never really thought about that. Primarily I wanted to become a teacher because, well, it’s complicated, but I have to say that especially after….well, what you and everyone else saw on live television everywhere…"

He sounded bitter for a moment.

"My hero days are over. For a little while after, I thought that I was broken, that I lost my purpose….but I have a new purpose. Teaching. I can't be a hero anymore, but I can pass my knowledge and experience on, do my part to raise the next generation of heroes that will inherit the world."

Inko stared at him, awestruck and inspired. She knew he sincerely meant every word.

He really was everything everyone believed, a compassionate, humble and thoughtful soul. He didn't care about being the best as much as he NEEDED to be the best to be what he needed to be for everyone, the Symbol of Peace.

"Of course.."

He speaks in a more lighthearted tone now.

"That doesn't mean that teaching doesn't have its challenges. Unruly teenagers are bad enough, but these kids pretty much all have the ability to kill you in one way or another."

Inko giggled a little.

"So I gotta stop Aoyama from using his navel laser so much that he throws up, I gotta keep Izuku and Bakugo from punching each other, I gotta stop Kaminari and Jirou from killing and or messing around with each other, I gotta stop Kirishima from working out so hard or so long that he hurts himself, I gotta be careful that Tokoyami's night light works so he doesn't lose control of Dark Shadow at bedtime, Higakure constantly jump-scares people, Mineta's a little perv who keeps trying to get in the girl's bathroom…."

Inko was giggling and laughing hard now.

Toshi started giggling with her, and then they were both laughing hysterically. They chatted about school, about work, about life, and they laughed together for a while longer until they finished their meal.

Toshi and Inko stacked up the dishes and put the trash in a relatively neat pile to make it easier for the staff to clean up, and Toshi left a generous tip on the bill. He also signed a couple autographs for various staff and other patrons of the restaurant who insisted on it.

They walked outside and the sun had dipped well below the horizon, the night lit up by the glow up the moon behind a cloudy sky, streetlamps, the glow of house windows, and various neon glowing advertisement signs.

They stood outside together for a moment, saying nothing, enjoying the cool June air.

"Well, I think I better get going now before it gets too late."

Inko said.

"Oh, right, of course."

Toshi replied.

"I'll uh, walk you to your car."

They walked together to the car, Toshi opened the door and Inko got into the driver's side.

"Let me know you made it home safe, okay?"

Toshi said. Inko nodded.

"I will!"

She replied. Toshi made sure she was clear, and then shut the door for her. He stepped back and watched her pull out and drive away. He stood and watched as her car disappeared into the distance. Once it was out of sight, he walked to his own car. He got in, started the car, turned the radio off, and drove home in silence, lost in thought. It was late enough that he decided to brush his teeth and go to sleep. As he lay in bed unable to sleep, his thoughts flowed like a waterfall out of him through the night.

It was just a parent teacher conference, right? And yet he couldn't help but think of her personality, her humor, her gentle, soft spirit. She reminded him a bit of Izuku, that abundance of empathy and love for the world, and that strong sense of justice and for what is right. She saw the world the way he did.

Toshi thought back on his past. There were women in his life, of course, but those relationships didn't last. He admitted to himself that they could have, but he didn't let them. If he sensed that the relationship was becoming more serious, he ended things. What he was doing for the world had to become priority. He thought about Izuku. That kid. His relationship with Izuku feels like the relationship he wanted with a son, back when he was younger and still thought that might be in his future.

That was before Nana Shimura's husband was killed and she put her child up for adoption.

After that, he was determined to never have a family because he didn't want to cause that kind of suffering. Being a hero was too important to him, but being a hero also meant you were a target, and your loved ones too. He thought about how maybe if things were different, he might have had a wife like Inko. He might have had a son like Izuku. He could have lived a normal life. It wasn't necessarily because he had regret for his life so far.

In fact, it was this more "normal" aspect of life that he spent his life trying to defend. He was the Symbol of Peace to keep evil at bay.

He sacrificed his own chance at having a family to spend his life ensuring that every other person on Earth could live a happy, peaceful life with their family. As he worked through his feelings he felt a sense of calm acceptance wash over him of how things are, and will be….but then his thoughts turned to Izuku.

What if Izuku turns out exactly like him?

If he felt so strongly that the most powerful and famous heroes should be alone, then why did he feel such fear for Izuku? He thought about how Izuku clearly has feelings for Ururaka, but doesn't seem to have the desire to ever act on them.

Don't heroes deserve happiness too, even the ones at the top?

What happened to Nana Shimura was a freak event. There are lots of heroes who are married and/or have children that all live happy lives.

He grabbed his phone, and saw a notification for a new text message from Inko, still under the contact name "Izuku Mom"

He quickly changed it to "Inko"

The text message read,

"Hey, just letting you know that I made it home safe! I know it was supposed to just be a parent-teacher conference and talking about Izuku, but I want you to know that I had a really good time tonight, thanks so much!!"

Toshi stared at the phone and read the message over and over until he felt tears well up in his eyes. He didn't realize he had so much grief buried deep for not having that kind of life. Toshi never valued his own life and his own happiness over others.

He thought about doing something selfish for the first time in his life.

He wanted to say something to Inko, but what was there to say? She was a student's mom, and hell, not just any student but IZUKU'S mom. Would it even be...appropriate? Even if she returned this feeling and they decided to see each other, how would it make Izuku feel?

But tonight….there would always be the memory of tonight, and he thought maybe, he could hold onto how it felt. Maybe it would be enough. It would have to be enough.

Suddenly the three bubbles indicating that someone is typing came up under Inko's message. She was typing right now! What was she going to say?

He wiped his eyes and stared at the phone screen, transfixed, waiting, until the text appeared;

"Hey, I'm sure this is a little strange, and you're probably asleep already, but I keep thinking about tonight, and how much fun it was….do you think it would be weird to….go out again? Not a parent-teacher conference this time though, haha…

Umm….have a good night"

Toshi never held his phone between his hands so tightly. To him it was like a sign, a beacon of hope in the night. He pushed the power button to make the screen go dark and held it to his chest. He felt a sob choke up in his throat, then finally let go. He felt the waves of sobs wash over him and he began to cry.

He fought to regain composure, and wiped the tears with his arm and woke the phone up, going back to the messages. He collects his thoughts and finally types a response,

"Inko, I can't stop thinking about tonight either. I'd love to see you again, next weekend if you have time? You should pick the next place! Whatever you want to do I'll be fine with, I'm not picky, haha."

His finger hovered over the button for a few minutes before he finally made himself hit send.

JP New Year Event

Ok, so I want to talk about the new units for the jp new year event.

This years bigger theme is animals and ofc they all have some neat symbolism.

Ok, so first off: Dostoyevsky. This one is honestly the easiest of the five, since his asigned animal is the rat. No one should be surprised at this point as Fyodor has been associated on multiple occasions with rats. In the western hemisphere rats have a negative connotation. They are associated with death and decay. In Japan however the rat or nezumi is a symbol for wealth and succsess. Fitting for the mastermind manipulator Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

Next, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko. This one, too, is relatively easy. Here the crow seems to be more prevalent as a symbol of death, seeing as Shibusawa was ultimately "already dead", only still being able to act thanks to the Draconia. However, there is in Japan also the idea of the crow as a messenger of the gods or a representative of divine intervention. It might be a stretch to say, but maybe this is also a reference to Shibusawa being "saved by an angel", a divine messenger.

Edit: As anon correctly observed, the crow in Shibusawa’s illustration has 3 legs. This is no error on the artists side. 

I forgot to mention it, but in Japan the three-legged (or tripedal) crow is callled Yatagarasu. The appearance of this “eight-span crow” is seen as evidence of Heaven’s will or as proof for divine intervention in human affairs. And Yatagarasu as crow-god in Japanese Shinto is specifically a symbol for guidence. This actually strenghtens my theory of the three-legged crow as a metaphor for Shibusawa being “saved by an angel”.

But the Yatagarasu also has another older meaning. It may not be as celebrated today, but the crow is said to be a mark of rebirth and rejuvenation. The relation of Shibusawa’s character to this particular fact is quite obvious. I mean, how many times has he been killed and came back in one form or another XD

Now we’ll get into the nitty gritty, so buckle up:

Wisdom, Cunning, Adaptability, Strategy – all traits commonly associated with foxes. And all attributes I would assign Dazai, with his ability to seemingly think three steps ahead of everyone around him. 

And he also shares a certain duality foxes possess in Japan. 

On one hand Dazai is a kind of guardian and guide to the ADA, and Atsushi in particular. Just like Inari-foxes guard Shinto shrines devoted to Inari Ôkami and serve as their messenger. On a side note: Inari’s foxes are also pure white just like the one in Dazai’s illustration. 

On the other hand, there exist other more mischievous foxes too. These foxes allude to the more mysterious and sly connotations they often embody in Western culture. Using illusions and deception to play pranks on unsuspecting humans, or in some cases even lure them to their untimely death. I’d argue this too is part of Dazai’s character as he plays tricks on others (often at Kunikida’s or Chuuya’s expense) on multiple occasions, but his wit and sharp mind also forces his enemies to their knees.

Chuuya has the honor of being portrayed with the Koi. Koi, for those who do not know, are quite powerful fish, demonstrated by their ability to swim against currents and even travel upstream. This in turn makes them strong symbols for good fortune, success, power and perseverance. It’s undeniable that Chuuya’s ability For The Tainted Sorrow – and especially its true form Corruption – makes him a force to be reckoned with. The koi fish is also a common yakuza tattoo. The relation here to Chuuya’s position as Mafia Executive is pretty easy to see.

Interestingly enough, a legend about Koi exists as well. It tells of a huge school of koi swimming upstream the Yellow River in China. Reaching the waterfall at end of the river, many of the koi turned back. But a single koi persevered and eventually reached the top of the waterfall. The gods, recognizing the koi for its determination, turned it into a dragon. Once again, it might be a stretch to say, but this could also be a subtle nod to Chuuya’s battle with Shibusawa’s dragon form – a “small fish” taking on a dragon.

(Side note: a koi swimming with lotus flowers symbolizes beauty that comes out hard circumstances, representing pain, struggle and growth. And if that doesn’t perfectly describe Chuuya, I don’t know what does. I mean, hot damn XDD)

And last, but not least, we have Odasaku. And this one is like a punch to the gut on all kinds of levels – so get ready for the Feels™ .

First of all, to identify the kind of crane Odasaku is portrayed with: judging by the snow white colour with black on the wing secondaries, as well as the patch of red on its head, it is save to say it is a red-crowned crane aka a tanchôzuru. This is of importance as this specific type of bird is said to live for 1000 years – a cruel irony considerind Odasaku’s fate. But this is just the beginning.

Red-crowed cranes have the ability to fly high for miles without tiring, making them a symbol for strength. Flawless is a good representation for that strength, as it makes Odasaku almost undefeated in combat with the exception of another ability of the same kind (we all know the one). It’s a sign for the mental fortitude Odasaku has, too, as a member of the Port Mafia.

Cranes are said to grant favors in return for acts of sacrifice. It is possible to see this as a reference to Odasaku’s death, where his ultimate sacrifice makes Dazai respect Odasaku’s last wish. Dazai changes his way to “be on the side that saves people”, to “save the weak, and protect the orphans”.

To “become a good man”.

I’ll be honest this, together with the fact that red-crowned cranes mate for life, really gets the Odazai shipper part of my brain going.

But there is one last part I haven’t mentioned yet: The story of Sadako and the thousand paper cranes. Suffering from leukemia as a result of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and knowing she was dying, Sadako undertook to make a thousand origami cranes before her death at the age of 12. After she passed away, Sadako as well as cranes beame a symbol for the innocent victims of war. And this should sound familiar. Kousuke, Katsumi, Yuu, Shinji and Sakura – the five orphans Odasaku took in after the Dragon Head Conflict were killed in front of Oda to provoke him into destroying Mimic, the organization behind the murder. They were killed as means to an end. Innocents sacrificed in a war they had no part in.

So being portrayed with cranes in his New Year Illustraition is, in the end, a metaphorical picture for Odasaku with his children. Yeah... let that one sink in :)

 I would love to further expand on the new units, like the meaning of the flowers, but this post is already long enough as is, so I’ll leave that for another day, maybe…

QUARTET NIGHT LIVE FLY TO THE FUTURE 2018 Report (Day 1&2)

Most details are from 1st day because we usually can’t see 1st day performances except for MC in DVD/BD anyway so i tried to focus on writing details of performance from 1st day more than 2nd (tho in term of perf there weren’t many differences) It contains most of the MCs and my thoughts about it!

Warning: Both reports and translations of the dialogue ARE not 100% accurate.  It’s based on what i and my friend remembered and took notes of. The post is extremely long! And i spent tons of time typing this so there might be a lot of grammar and typing errors. I’d be happy if you would overlook all of my mistakes here!

Edit: Let me apologize for the extreme delay.. I actually had this finished a week after it happened, and i was probably super tired when i finished it. I’m not sure how that happened, but apparently i didn’t post it and this had been sitting on my drafts for six months because i went on a hiatus afterwards.... I realized it after opening tumblr a day ago. I was super sad because it was so long and i spent tons of time writing it.. if possible i don’t want to delete it so here it is!

Opening lines by QN members

Opening VTR, there isn't anything like last QN live but it was visual picture slideshow of previous live and it shows how QN has been around since 2012~now. QUARTET★NIGHT instrumental was playing on the background.

Followed with clock'tick tock sound, bell rang and the main stage monitor was split into two and QN appeared with gold stage outfit and big clock on the background! Tattsun and Morikubo had similar hairstyle to the previous live with minor change (styling?) while maenu had brown hair tied like in 6th live melting of snow performance and shoutan with ai's hairstyle+hair color (bleached in some parts, not entirely but it looks really nice!)

1. THE WORLD IS MINE I actually guessed this would be the first song and i was right! It started with really pretty acapella ;;_;; THEIR HARMONIES WERE PERFECT IT WAS LEGENDARY like it was probably one of the best harmonization i've heard in my life (if previous live wasn't enough) I kinda forgot what happened during this performance because i was too amazed by how good they sang tbh. Pretty sure people know how good QN harmonize, but this one was especially good! If i remembered it right, there were some dance moves! The audience also sang "The world is mine!" part in the bridge, it was fun! I literally cried the moment they appeared i can’t remember much AHAHA //sweats

2.Poison KISS As soon as the intro started people around me went crazy with their screams xD It's more or less similar to what we've seen in previous lives. Do they have any tradition bc they always sing this song since 3rd live xD Except of course, they were dancing a lot more now and this song is actually one of the good example of their improvements! This song is still as hyped as always. They walked from the main stage to the front stage and during that they also did some poses and fanservices

MC (or not really since they were talking in character voice the whole time? kinda like opening serifu) Maenu: *Camus butler mode* Welcome to "QUARTET NIGHT LIVE FLY TO THE FUTURE" ladies and gentlemen. I'm Camus and let us enjoy tonight together. *Camus usual mode change* Or did you really think i'd say that, you peasant?! Be sure to follow us to the end. (In 2nd day camus didn't say the peasant thingy tho idk why) Shoutan: I'm Mikaze Ai. I'll make it a fun and dokidoki live until the end! *throw kiss* Tattsun: It's Kurosaki Ranmaru! It's finally our rocking time! Let's enjoy it till the end! Morikubo: Rei-chan’s the one left here~! My girl and my boy!! It's okay for Rei-chan to start first, right~?! and it went right to the next song

3. On Your Mark! I personally thought that this song sounds hard to sing (maybe bc of the key progression??) but Morikubo did great! His singing was super stable and consistent, as usual. He danced A LOT more on this one! Probably the most i've seen from reiji's solo so far! And he did super great! ;; It’s similar to the perf he had in 6th live except i think he did even better this time!! He must've worked really hard! He forgot a bit of his part in 1st day xD but he recovered right after!

4. Futari no Monogram I HAD FEELING THIS WOULD COME bc it was the only ai's solo shoutan didn't sing in QN 1st solo con.. and I definitely saw improvements! He was dancing (almost) all of the time and but he sounded A LOT more stable than 5th live (and i think 5th live was already great) it looked so easy for him xD But all in one it's similar to the one we've seen previously, except i think there were some additional moves? (Edit: many parts are entirely different too) In the end shoutan also said "Da~isuki" like 5th live, except it was in a bit more playful tone (kinda teasing tone?) Overall i think he did even better than 5th live! He also did some fanservices and i personally like the part where he fixed his silver gloves.

5. Saintly Territory Maenu appeared with his (this time a bit thin?) white mantle and did the dance like in previous live! Same with shoutan, i think he improved a lot with his singing stability and this time it sounded extremely stable and he looks a lot more relaxed with his dancing too!;; I really love how they keep on improving even tho they were already that good to begin with. He came to from main stage to front stage and suddenly he appeared with camus' stick from halfway and danced with it! xD He danced a lot! I’m not sure if it’s in this song or not but if i remember it right on first day, he also gave us a fanservice of him smirking in front of the camera and people went crazy over it (i mean, me too AHAHA)

6. BE PROUD Remember how legendary 6th live performance of this song was? Yeah, this time it was equally amazing. He appeared with stand-mic and it was a straightforward+simple performance, yet his singing was really amazing i kinda stopped swinging penlight.. The adlib on the bridge was really powerful and it just hit me hard i almost teared up ;; On last reff he went down on his knees and made really pained expression ;; in general he had pained expression on his face and it made me emotional.. also the trademark super-long notes in the end was also there, it was just amazing! I got chills. Personally i like last reff "hoeru shika naku (I have no other choice but to howl)" because he sounded like he was actually howling. BUT SERIOUSLY it was extremely emotional, both days were powerful and all in one it’s just simply amazing. Fight me you don’t like Ranmaru and tattsun after you listen to this performance AHAHA

The screen suddenly said "Acoustic corner, Reiji Camus", Morikubo and Maenu appeared with long sleeves shirt. Morikubo (reiji's) was black (with stage-like vest?) and maenu was white (with blue tie).They greeted the hall and live-viewing audience. Maenu wore camus' glasses. They said they were doing something new, which was acoustic corner! The band (?) was preparing on their back while they were doing the MC. Chairs were also prepared for them and they talked while sitting on it, also telling the audience to sit throughout acoustic performance.

Day 1 They talked about there weren't many chances to have only the two of them on MC and how rehearsal have passed in a blink of eye. It seemed like they were doing it under a lot of pressure (considering last live extreme high quality i'm not surprised tbh lol) Maenu: "It's hard to gather all of us together on the rehearsal" Morikubo: "We only managed to get all together once (?!) on the rehearsal. We sometimes did it with three of us present and for some reasons most of the time one of us couldn't be present." (audience sounded surprised! Me too, they performed really good together i just didn't expect it) Maenu: "I started rehearsal mainly from September. Though of course,  i received choreography videos beforehand." Morikubo: "The red person started really early, didn't he?" (audience laughed) Maenu: "He always got to start rehearsal really early every live" Morikubo: "He always got to start really early i couldn't help but thinking "Eh?! He started already?!" when i heard it." Maenu: "And he'd contact us with "I started with it!" first everytime" After that they were talking about the live and how it started with a new song! Apparently they were practicing it it a lot to the point that they saw it on their dreams lol Morikubo danced a bit (?) of the choreo with his hand, pointed at Maenu and said he often did those moves (practicing the move, the usual maenu’s greatness; not sure but i think it was killer kiss moves?) xD They talked about how it was the first time for the four of them to perform an acoustic corner on utapri live and that the live was fun. Morikubo: "I always receive the choreography video from the dance teacher first and i got to voice my opinion first if the dance was too hard or if it needs to be changed into easier moves. If i'm okay with it then the three of them will follow. (Because he's the oldest) Until now if some parts were too hard i'd say so and got scolded by certain someone (Tattsun LOL). But this time, after receiving it I said nothing about it and did it the way it's supposed to be." (Audience cheers) Maenu: "The choreography was really hard, wasn't it?" Morikubo: "Neverthless, our duty this time is to follow after Quartet Night. If the four of them are supposed to do it that way, then we will do our best to follow after them. We did our best without making excuses." (Audience cheers) Morikubo: "Up till now, there are a lot of idol groups existing right? They dance and sing." Maenu: "They do." Morikubo: "But look at us, we're dancing, singing AND harmonizing. Isn't that rare to be found?" Maenu: "It's rare indeed!" Morikubo: "We're dancing, singing AND harmonizing! (2nd time xD)" (Audience cheers) Morikubo: "If the four of them aim for even higher level, we'll also aim for it and chase after them(characters)!" After that they called for the acoustic band members. They also talked about Maenu's Camus glasses and apparently, Maenu being the biggest Camus fan he is, got the glasses by himself xD (If i remember right it got sold out really fast so i think he meant he put tons of effort to get it)

Day 2  They talked about how they’re doing it on Kobe this time. Up till now utapri live (or most events actually) was held in kanto region/near tokyo but this time the live was held in kansai region (Psst as someone who lives in kansai i’m extremely happy) They greeted people at live-viewing. Maenu: *to the camera* “Can you see us here?” Morikubo: “Live-viewiiiing!” Some of the audiences in the hall went “Fuuu~↑” even tho they were calling for the live-viewing LOL Maenu: “*a bit puzzled* O--oh I could hear their voices, i heard the Fuuu~“ xD From this point they’ll keep on doing this few times if someone let out voices when they were calling for people in live-viewing LOL There was also a small accident of the staffs bringing wrong water-bottle for Maenu (it was tatsu’s) xD They talked about how the penlight color change was automatically controlled by the staffs (like the one on previous live) Morikubo: “I thought it was amazing!” Maenu: “At first i thought ‘they changed the color so quickly!!’ but it seems like that was not the case” xD Morikubo: “Ah, but it’s possible to switch it into your favorite color, right?” Maenu: “Yes, it’s possible to do both” Morikubo: “If i say a color right now would it be possible (for the staffs) to change the color right away?” Maenu: “It’s supposed to be on programmed automatically isn’t it?” Morikubo: “Let’s try it!” Maenu: “I’m not sure, we haven’t told the staffs beforehand!” xD Morikubo: “We haven’t told them anything!” Maenu: “They must be panicking right now” Morikubo: “Everyone, I’ll say ‘red’ so please switch your penlight into another color and don’t change the color manually! Let’s see if it’s possible” Morikubo: “Here i go, red!!!” They waited few seconds and the color didn’t change xD Morikubo: “So it’s not possible!” *audience laughed* Maenu: “It has to be programmed beforehand” in the middle of their talk suddenly all of the penlight on the hall turned red Morikubo: “OHHH IT’S RED!!” Maenu: “That’s amazing!!! The staffs definitely panicked just now” Morikubo: “I’m sorry for doing it suddenly!”  Maenu: “(it’s all in red) So this is what Tatsu saw while singing” Morikubo: “(to audience)Ah, you can turn it back to your favorite color now. Thank you very much for your cooperation” They talked about how the concert hall is a good hall (and i totally agree) and how they could see the audience clearly. Then they talked about how it was a 2 days concert as opposed to prev one. Afterwards Morikubo told us that they’re ready to do it for another day or two xD Maenu agreed Maenu: “Even the rehearsals were fun. Of course there were a lot of hardships, but the sensation of being able to stand with the four of us.. it’s just addictive” Morikubo: “Lately, there’s something all of us often do. Inside the dressing room, when the four of us were sitting in front of the mirrors and our songs were played on the background, we’ll do an imitation/impression of our own characters”  Maenu: “A bit exaggerated one” Audience screamed “Do it~~” and the two of us fell into silence all of sudden xD Maenu: “If you said something like that of course it’ll come into this!” Morikubo: “It’s more or less just what you always hear from us” Audience told them to do it again Morikubo: “Yesterday we talked about such topic. We were talking about how Shouta used to sing demos of most utapri songs and we asked about how he did our character voices. *stares at maenu* How did he do Ran-Ran again?” Maenu: “?! I’d be the one doing it?!”  He did an impression of Ranmaru’s “Arai hou ga ii~” of Poison kiss and it was super funny! xD He made his voice really hoarse and also made funny expression with his eyes wide-opened LOL Morikubo then apologized at him for making him suddenly do it Maenu: “You told me to do it!” Morikubo: “I wasn’t expecting you to do it with that expression” Maenu: “I’m sorry please forget the thing i did just now” LOL Maenu: “At rehearsal we often do something like that to fill the part of the member that wasn’t there. For example Morikubo-san’s part” Morikubo: “They’ll start imitating ‘Tee ↑ ee↑ (the vocal swing he often does, you’d probably get what i mean if you listened to Reiji’s singing in general)” Maenu: *imitates* “More and More and~~(poison kiss w/hands movements too)” Morikubo: “It’s not “Mori mori ok?!”  (means to do something vigorously in japanese) Maenu: “Even all of those things were really fun” Morikubo: “Camus’ (impression) were amazing too you know” Maenu: “Tatsu totally did that on purpose!” Morikubo: “If Tatsu comes later, tell him to do it here” And they called the band

7. KILLER KISS When they talked about how they were going to perform it acoustic i actually couldn't imagine how it would sound with this song but it actually sounded really pleasant! I mean, it sounded a lot quieter than the actual song so you could hear their great voices and amazing harmonization crystal clear! It sounded really refreshing! They also did a bit of the little hand choreography similar to the one on 6th live. They sounded really powerful!

Shoutan and Tattsun appeared. Shoutan had white shirt with lilac-colored flower on his left pocket and Tattsun had black shirt they also talked while sitting like Morikubo and Maenu (At some parts they also stood?).

Day 1 Shoutan talked about how it's refreshing to be able to talk with just the two of them and tattsun agreed to it. In the middle of convo Tattsun just went with sudden "Let's introduce ourself" and the audience laughed. Shoutan: "Everyone, good evening! I'm Mikaze Ai's good friend Aoi Shouta!" Tattsun: "You went with that?! I'm the one who's always standing closest to Kurosaki Ranmaru, Suzuki Tatsuhisa." Tattsun: "Aaa~ It's refreshi-- *looks at shoutan turning his back from audience* Hey! Don't fix your belt here!" (Shoutan a bit panicking lol) Tattsun: "This is why before the live started i told you not to eat that many cream puffs!!"* (if you don't get this reference go search for game and drama CDs involving Ai lol) Shoutan: "That's not true!" lol Tattsun also said Morikubo and Maenu talked a lot so almost no topic left for them to talk xD Shoutan told the camera to zoom at Tattsun's nails. Apparently at previous lives Tattsun's nail colors were normal red but this time he finally had Ranmaru's burgundy dark red! Also Shoutan tried to let his nails grow but at rehearsal two of it hit the mic and broke. He also had Ai's color nail btw. Tattsun: "This time, at rehearsal we were often together. Of course we were looking at each other practices a lot too. The more i see him, to be honest I could only see Shouta as a girl!" Shoutan: "You said that a lot! Stuffs like "what's with that body line!?" Tattsun: "His girl power (女子力) is increasing day by day! If it's me i definitely wouldn't be able to do it! For example this pose *posing*" Shoutan: "This one? *posing*" (hard to describe so take a look at matoni-sensei's report pic here! the pose at the very middle of the pic) Tattsun: "How did you do that?" *imitating but failed* (Audience laughed) Tattsun: "This time, for example the dance, like previously talked, we're following the footsteps of our characters. As they go higher, we as one try to follow them. To begin with I only do stuffs like this once a year here you know!" Shoutan: "This kind of chance doesn't happen often, right? But actually tatsu-nii at his own will, you know, even after the rehearsal was supposed to end--" Tattsun: "Hey~ Stop this topic!" Shoutan: "When the rehearsal ended he'd go around saying "I'm sorry, can i do it just one more time?" you know! Of course we have to make sure we're in good condition by resting well too, but his feelings reached me and it made me want to reply it with same thing." Tattsun: "Right, at that time i had the time so i tried to use all of my time practicing and when i realized it i've been doing it for six and half hours." Shoutan: "Really, how many times did you do the live that time?"   (Audience laughed) Tattsun: "And Shouta was also there the whole time."(Not sure if he said he was standing there or singing behind him) Tattsun: "To be honest, I couldn't produce Ranmaru's voice easily. And so i'd need time to adjust my throat beforehand. Sometimes i got frustrated and was troubled with it alone. And at such times, he'd come closer to me and said "Tatsu-nii, what about doing quartet night songs together?". Among us, Shouta　is the one who's always trying to consider others feelings. At that one time all of us got together, we were troubled with a thing and couldn't come into agreement. At such time, Shouta was the first one to speak up "What about doing this way? Maybe it's going to change for the better!". He was always thinking about our feelings and what to do about it. In that way, he's the one supporting our backs and i think that's what's good about him." After that they talked about how they're going to sing after this with the acoustic band. Tattsun: "We were talking a lot prior to this performance, like how to make it sound better and what to add and improvise." Shoutan: "That's right, we talked a lot about it." Tattsun: "I was thinking of supporting Shouta while he's singing freely with his all, but actually Shouta also adjusts with how i'm singing. It feels like a matchmaking (お見合い)." Shoutan: "It feels like we're sharing same atmosphere!" Tattsun: "It made me feel like, "Ah, so singing with others could be this interesting!" It's really fun. I haven't had chance to sing with someone with such a different type of voices and it feels refreshing. *suddenly bowing?* Thank you so much" Shoutan was off guard because Tattsun just suddenly thanked him and was like "nn?!" xD Tattsun: "So, are we doing it?" Shoutan: "(to the audience suddenly) Do you want to hear us~?" (and of course we said we want to hear it) Shoutan: "They said they want to~" Tattsun: "Why did you start it and answer it yourself?" (Audience laughed xD) Shoutan: "I'm sorry" (Audience screamed "Cute~!") Tattsun: "That part! That's the cute part of you, you know" And i kinda forgot what they said after this.. but not long after they started with title call and the next song started! Day 2 Shoutan: “Good evening~ It’s finally our turn” Tattsun: “No matter how many times we did it, it always feels refreshing to be here (doing MC) with just the two of us” Shoutan: “It does! The previous two’s MC/perf was really heated up” Tattsun: “Right” Both: ”Right~” (audience laughed xD) Tattsun: “First, please introduce yourself” Shoutan: “I’m Mikaze Ai’s best friend, Aoi Shouta!” Tattsun: “I’m the one with privilege to stand closest to Kurosaki Ranmaru, Suzuki Tatsuhisa” Shoutan: “Isn’t it interesting that our introduction changed a bit everytime?” They talked about live-viewing and called out to them Shoutan: *to camera* “How are you guys?” Tattsun: “Everyone at live-viewing places, how are you?” the audiences in the hall went “Fuuu~↑” again Tattsun: “I could hear voices even though it’s supposed to be live-viewing! Amazing!” LOL After that they changed topic into the outfits they wore on acoustic corner Shoutan: “After the first day ended, there was something a lot of people were talking about regarding this acoustic corner. As opposed to our previous gold outfits, in this corner we have a shirt as our outfit. *Tattsun spun to show the audience his outfit*”  Shoutan: “It has Ranmaru’s color on it” Tattsun: “(the red cloth of the lower part of his outfit) I requested this” Shoutan: “For me, i wanted a symbol at Ai’s left chest. The staffs also added Ai’s color on it” (whoever manage to understand the symbolism i love you) Shoutan: “The real topic starts here. The shirt i’m wearing right now is  an oversize shirt. So it has a bit of kare-shirt (It’s a situation when someone is wearing their lovers’ clothes) vibe on it. “ *audience loud screams* xD Tattsun: “Right” Shoutan: “And that’s..” Tattsun: “That’s why you should just say you were staying over in my place” *fangirl squeal* Shoutan: “And there’s the fact that the two of us are doing MC together too.. For a moment i thought 'Eh?! Did i actually stay in Tatsu-nii’s house and borrow his shirt?!'”  Tattsun: “I thought it would look good on you, so you can have it” *embarrassed shoutan* xD Shoutan: “This person right here... Why does he always say this kind of embarrassing lines like it was nothing?! This is embarrassing” (you two so cute stahp) Tattsun: “Could you stop getting ‘seriously’ embarrassed?” xD Shoutan: “Of course i would! *to male audience* Even male would feel the same, right?!”  A male audience answered and tattsun laughed at it Shoutan: “I told you so!” Tattsun: “I could hear your voice (male audience) really clearly! Wait a bit, let me take off my in-ear monitor. (He looks happy to hear them) *male audience cheers*  Tattsun: “This is awesome, i could hear you guys really well! *laughs* Oi, you guys sure have great voices!” (they both look really happy xD) Shoutan: “And obviously, all of you girls, it made your heart throb right?!” *audience cheers* Shoutan: “I told you!” Tattsun: “Wait a bit, why did you put yourself in girls side?!” LOLOL Shoutan: “After standing on many stages of utapri, i feel like i could understand what everyone is thinking about!” Tattsun: “That’s what i told you in the rehearsal wasn’t it?! When i was watching your solo, i told you 'Your girl power(女子力) is increasing even more!'“ Tattsun: “Especially when he was dancing and singing, his body-line definitely doesn’t look like a male!  Shoutan: “Really? *does the same pose as the one on 1st day MC* I ended up doing it like that” Tattsun: “If i’m the one doing it, it looks like a plastic model *does the same pose* So stiff” Shoutan: “But in return you have the coolness of Ranmaru!” Tattsun: “All i could do is being aggresive (オラつくit’s a bit hard to explain)” Shoutan: “That’s Ranmaru!!” After that they talked about flower stand! (btw for some reasons if i go to QN events i always see many cool and artistic flower stands so if you’re curious be sure to look it up) Tattsun: “We wanted to see it by ourselves but it was close to where the audience was waiting so we couldn’t see it. But our managers took a VTR of the flowers for us and we all watched it together. While we were talking about how big and pretty it was suddenly a panel appeared and we were like ‘Eh?! You can create such flower stand?!’” Shoutan: “It was amazing wasn’t it?” Tattsun: “And also, i know it’s a form of love and i probably shouldn’t say an unnecessary comment like this, but there was a flower stand with Ranmaru’s silhouette and an instrument on it. The thing is, that silhouette wasn’t a bass, it was a guitar!!” Shoutan: “A-Ah, the instrument Ranmaru plays is..” Tattsun: “Bass” Shoutan: “And what came was...” Tattsun: “Guitar...” Shoutan: “That was close! So close! B-but it was a silhouette so..” Tattsun: “But.. it was a guitar...” Shoutan: “So close!” Tattsun: “That shape was probably an SG (gibson SG? i’m not sure) guitar..” Shoutan: “You sure know a lot!” xD Tattsun: “*asks a band member* Right?! But i could feel the love and so i think ’It’s okay, a guitar is fine too’” Shoutan: “After all, they made it so pretty!” Tattsun: “Indeed! Among them there were also outfits right? The quality was so high i thought ‘Eh?! Did we wear that outfits?!’” Shoutan: “Eh?! It’s the real thing?!” Tattsun: “Did we give/show the real thing to them?!” xD Shoutan: “Was it leaked somewhere?” Tattsun: “Without realizing it, do they know our three sizes?!” Shoutan: “That’s bad!!” Tattsun: “No way, no way!!! We’re in trouble!” (what are you guys doing LOL) Afterwards they talked about how it represents audience love for the series Tattsun: “It was so amazing it feels like being on an exhibition! Don’t you think we could charge an admission fee for this?” Shoutan: “That’s right!!” xD Tattsun: “A lot of people also sent it directly to certain character and on that part too i could totally feel your affection for them.” Tattsun: “Yesterday, after 1st day ended we had a small after-party with the four of us plus few people. We talked about a lot of things there and there were a lot of talks full of love for the series. We’ll talk about it in depth after the four of us are all here.” Tattsun: “Also, on dressing room lately, doing an impression of QN members has became a trend, right? Shoutan: “We do impression of each other’s characters. It’s before the live so tatsu-nii brought a stereo--  Is this the right word? I’m hopeless when it comes to such thing..  ” Tattsun: “Shouta” Shoutan: “Yes?” Tattsun: “Ba~ka” (in teasing tone asdhjkf what is this, a shoujo manga?) *Audience screams* Shoutan: “ *a bit of sulking tone* He said i’m an idiot..” Tattsun: “That’s called a bluetooth speaker!” Shoutan: “Ah! It’s a speaker!” Tattsun: “Don’t just go and group everything into 'latest model machine’!” Shoutan: “I’m sorry.. -- so he used a speaker to play the setlist of this live inside our dressing room. And then we’ll hum or sing along” Tattsun: “I thought if there’s no sound maybe the atmosphere would be a bit gloomy so i brought a rather big one and played the playlist of the setlist. And when i did that, suddenly we could hear Rei-chan that wasn’t Rei-chan” LOL Shoutan: “You’re right. After that we would hear an addition of one more person, and another one, we would then hear someone who did an impression of ranmaru, and so on...” Shoutan: “But the thing is, when Camus’ part comes..” Both: “All of us would do it” LOL Shoutan: “It was amazing wasn’t it?” Tattsun: “All of us would gather and sang the “kindan no kajitsu~♪ (killer kiss)” Shoutan: “We did it. Not only our own character, but did such to another character of the same group” Tattsun: “We did it” Shoutan: “Ai’s impressions were also amazing” Tattsun: “When doing Ai we would pucker our lips” Shoutan: “That’s right! Actually, i have such a small mouth/lips so when they’re doing it like that i could hear some similarities.. Tomo-nii also did it. That’s what’s trending on our dressing room lately” Tattsun: “When doing an impression of Ranmaru, all of them would sound so hoarse!” Shoutan: “First of all we would strain our voices” Tattsun: “Raise the distortion to the max..” Tattsun: “Do you still remember the first time you voiced Ai?” Shoutan: “I do! At that time i was just started learning how to be a voice actor. With an illustration of Ai right in front of me, I was thinking of how to make him alive. While thinking of such things i would practice over and over again. After spending a lot of time, i finally managed to do that.” Tattsun: “The staffs were really careful about it weren’t they?” Shoutan: “Yes. What about Ranmaru? How was it?” Tattsun: “A bit roughly but at that time I saw all of the utapri series first. And at that time, i thought that there weren’t many people with low tone voices. As a senpai, when i read the script at that time Ranmaru also said so many harsh words. I was thinking of what to do with it and came into conclusion that to make it sounds manly i should do it with low tone. And so it became like that.” Tattsun: “But that time, i didn’t give it much thought and let out the lowest tone i could at that time.” Shoutan: “I see!” Tattsun: “And so when i’m voicing Ranmaru i have to keep my throat wide opened the whole time” Tattsun: “The first time i thought ‘i’ve done it wrong’ was at the singing recording. At that time i realized that i have to practice hard to produce Ranmaru’s voice well. Especially at the very beginning, i have to warm-up my voice well before recording something as Ranmaru. At that time i’d practice “*Ranmaru’s voice* Oi” with my throat wide open.” Shoutan: “And so it becomes Ranmaru” Tattsun: “*points at the area between throat and chin* the shape of my face here would disappear (bc he’s keeping his throat open).  It would turn into a neck of a dinosaur. ” xD Shoutan: “But after going through all of that Ranmaru was born” Tattsun: “That’s right” Shoutan: “A lot of stories were there”

And they announced next song

8. HARUHANA ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE: BEAUTIFUL. I guess this one is easier to imagine in acoustic ver. It sounds really classy~ I must say this arrangement fits this song A LOT! Both of them sang super emotionally ;; Tattsun used softer tones at some parts and shoutan sang some parts more dynamically than others creating an emotional performance;; When this song was released i saw someone said that they voices don't go well with each other, but nah they really need to watch this performance. Their chemistry was heavenly.. their timing, the way their voice overlap and harmonize, even how they put power in their singing, it was a perfection. To be honest, the two of them in this performance probably had the best chemistry i've ever seen in utapri live performances. They shared A LOT of eye contacts! (they were staring at each other like most of the time? lol) They also inserted really pretty adlibs and even harmonize on it. Before last reff they sang it really passionately before suddenly (intentionally) stopped singing for seconds and left a bit of silence. After seconds they start again with really emotional last reff! It was amazing. (Explanation: "Oru youni kasaneatte, koe e to, uta e to~~~ (long notes) Aa *stops for like 3 seconds* yokaze ni fukarete...") Also last reff's "..mune wo sasu kedo ↑" was improvised as the notes went up instead of down. I couldn't say anything other than perfection. I personally like their perf of this song on the first day more than the second day (tho of course it was awesome too) so i kinda hoped utapri would ever release DVD/BD of 1st day of their lives too...

A bit of MC. Tattsun said that because they finally had the chance to sing acoustic they wanted to sing with the four of them and called Morikubo and Maenu!

Day 1 Morikubo said he had two things to say to them Morikubo: "First, the two of us talked about a lot of topics (that Tattsun said they have nothing left to talk) because it took a lot of time for the band to set their instruments on the stage!" xD Maenu: "It can't be helped!" Tattsun: "Talk about of such circumstances when we're on backstage instead of here!" (Audience laughed) Morikubo: "Also second, Tatsu is amazing with his practice and all, but sometimes there's also time when he's only stretching for 2 hours!" LOL ((After this they talked a bit more but i forgot the details, i think my memory went overcapacity starting from here, i'm really sorry //sweats)) They talked about how QN appeared for the first time at 2012. If i remember it right Tattsun also said previous live was only last year (6th) but he felt like it's been longer than that. I didn't remember who brought it up first (Tattsun maybe??) but they then talked about how Shoutan used to provide his singing for the demo/prototype version of utapri songs before the respective seiyuu sing the song! (I think a lot of you knew it already, as people around me already knew abt this too) Shoutan: "You promised you won't talk about this, right?!" xD and they realized they didn't give us enough explanation about what they were talking about and decided to explain. Maenu: "For a period of time, Shouta used to sing for all utapri demo song alone by himself. " Tattsun: "Not to mention, he also sang it the way the character would" Morikubo: "You did STARISH songs and Quartet Night songs right? And what about HEAVENS'? Shoutan: "I also did HEAVENS song!" (Audience and the rest of them were surprised) Tattsun: "That's why, i mean, isn't it a good idea to release those CDs?" Shoutan: "*panicking* No way! No way!" (Audience screamed they want it xD) Shoutan: "It's only good because they (respective char/seiyuus) are the one singing you know! Demo songs are just demo" Tattsun: "Even so, how did you do sing it (the way other characters/seiyuus would)?" Shoutan: "Of course, first i heard each of their CDs. After that i tried thinking of how to sing it so that it's easy to understand who is singing which part. If i sang it all the same way, it'd be hard to understand!" Morikubo: "If that's the case, for example how would you do it if you're doing Ranran's part?" Shoutan: "Wait!! I'd get scolded for this!!" xD (Audience laughed) Tattsun: "You won't!" Morikubo: "Like first, do you need to get your feelings fired up or such? Tell us how you do it! Maybe the audience will have the chance to sing Ranran's part at karaoke or something!" (I kinda forgot this part) Tattsun: "But for some reason, when everyone was imitating Ranmaru's voice, they'll make their voice hoarse. And they'd start saying "I'll kill you!"? Ranmaru didn't even say such thing!" Maenu: "We, and other utapri members (starish seiyuus?) sometimes imitate other character voices on rehearsal and practice." Shoutan: "We did! Also personally same here, when doing Ranmaru's voice i tried to make it sounds threatening (? (LOL xD)) and put my attention on creating more breathy sounds” Morikubo: “Did you hear it guys? Breathy voices!” Shoutan: “But the original singer actually didn’t even do it on purpose right?” Tattsun: “Yes, i’m not aware of it myself” Morikubo: “What about me?! Me?” Shoutan: “With Reiji i’d insert many vocal swings” Morikubo: “Ah, i see!” Shoutan: “Even with Ai there are times i used that kind of singing technique, but after listening to a lot of songs i tried to think of the way i could get the feel with my own voice” Maenu: “What about me?” Morikubo: “With Camus, the first thing is to put in a lot of sugar right?” Shoutan: “Yes xD a lot of sugar cube!” *Tattsun agreing lol* Maenu: “So how did you do it?” Shoutan: “With Camus.. i tried to sing a bit through my nose?” Maenu: “I see! It’s like when Tatsu imitated my voices with bad intentions (LOL) He does it a lot on the dressing room” Tattsun: “Didn’t you do that a lot too?!” Maenu: “We all do! *shoutan and morikubo laughed* Morikubo: “When we all stand side-by-side the ‘let’s imitate other characters tournament’ would just suddenly start!” Tattsun: “Inside the make-up room we were all sitting side by side. At that time the setlist of the concert was playing on the bgm. And then suddenly someone would just start singing a part that isn’t even theirs!” Morikubo: “Didn’t you *points at Maenu* also sing your own part exaggeratedly?!” Tattsun: “He did!!” *shoutan laughed*  Tattsun: “What were you even doing?!” Maenu: “I just thought maybe it would be interesting, i tried to guess how my singing sound for people around me” xD Morikubo: “In the prev live i talked about how singing with the three of you feels so good, right? This time while listening to ourselves in acoustic corner, the existence of Maeno’s solid low notes, Shouta’s clear high notes, and for mid-high notes i’ll be there together with Tatsu’s mid-low notes, make a great balance.” Shoutan: “I thought so too!” Morikubo: “Especially because it’s acoustic you could hear the voices clearly. It felt so nice! What do you guys think of it?” Maenu: “I ag...ree with you *stumbled with his words*” Tattsun: “Which position are you standing on right now?! Also where is your glasses (camus’ glasses) ?!” Maenu: “I took that off” Shoutan: “You took that off!” Maenu: “It’s a coincidence but our voices balance out each other extremely well. They’re so compatible with each other. It’s such a wonder.” Morikubo: “What do you guys think of it? (audience)” *audience claps* Morikubo: “Today is the Culture Day (a holiday in Japan) but we’re able to be here. Why don’t all of you start your own QUARTET NIGHT with 4 people around you right now? (xD LOL)”  Tattsun: “Live-viewing too!” And they show themselves on camera for people in live-viewing! Tattsun: “It’s QUARTET NIGHT~~~~” (his tone was so cute xD karunai dayo~) Tattsun: So, a lot of QUARTET NIGHTs would be born from among the whole country today? (LOL)

Morikubo: “Let’s sing together shall we?” They talked about the outfit a bit before getting into the next song

Day 2 After the performance Tattsun said that it was really fun and called for the other two. Morikubo&Maenu: “It was a great performance!” Morikubo: “I could listen to your (haruhana duo) talk and performance forever” Tattsun and shoutan laughed Shoutan: “Really?!” Morikubo: “I mean it. But Shouta, how could you mistook a speaker for a stereo?!” Maenu: “But i think Tatsuhisa who mistook a video for a VTR (video tape recorder) is also more or less the same” Morikubo: “What has gotten into you?! a VTR?!” *to tattsun* Tattsun: “EH?!” LOL Shoutan: ”I sure made a grave mistake..” Tattsun: “At least i didn’t say something like ‘a beta’ (betamax)” Morikubo asked the audience about the acoustic corner Morikubo: “It felt really good” Shoutan: “It was fun!” Maenu: “It was!” Tattsun: “During today’s rehearsal showtaro-san also talked about this but I feel like we could make a lot more stuffs with this corner” Morikubo: “Like for example, an acoustic live or something” (OMG YES PLS) *Audience cheers* Maenu: “It’ll be great” Tattsun: “For example wouldn’t it be nice if we do it with night sky in the background?” Morikubo: “Our dream keeps on getting even bigger” Tattsun: “We keep on saying this kind of thing, i’m sorry!” (about what they want to do in the future onstage without consulting to staffs xD) Morikubo: “I think it’s important to have a specific dream!” Maenu: “It’s also important to say it out loud” Morikubo: “That’s right, let’s keep on saying it. Right, everyone?” a bit of short silence Morikubo: “You’re not going to say it?!” LOL Everyone laughs Maenu: “It’ll be nice if it becomes true in the future!” Morikubo: “When the two of you were talking I could hear the voice of ‘my boy’ (male audience) so clearly! Let us hear it again, ‘my boy’!!” *male audience cheers* Maenu: “Oh! It’s amazing!” Morikubo: “*to a male audience* Thank you! It makes me happy!” *male audience cheers*  Tattsun: You guys sure have great voices! I’m so happy!” (he looks super happy xD) Morikubo: “What about in the live-viewing?” Tattsun& Maenu: “My boy?” Morikubo: “My boy!” Morikubo: *to the camera* “My boy in the live viewing~!!” *Male audience in the hall cheers xD* Shoutan: “There must be some of them!” Maenu: “I could hear them!” Tattsun: “That true, even though it’s live-viewing i could hear their voices!” LOL Maenu: “It reached us! Words filled with feelings definitely gets across, doesn’t it? xD Morikubo: “Right, it’s amazing. We’re so grateful that a lot of people from the whole country came to see us. Thank you very much” Morikubo: “This time it’s a 2 days concert. What do you think of it?” Tattsun: “Yesterday i felt extremely nervous.. I was full of momentary nervousness, but as i talked on previous MC the four of us had an after-party, didn’t we? It seems like i was really happy. The moment i woke up today all i could think of was about that!” Morikubo: “Actually, it seems like the four of us were really happy about it” *the four of them laughs* Morikubo: “We’re surprised about it ourselves. But it seems like the four of us put our arms around each other's shoulders and walk back to the hotel on that position!” (o mg cute) Shoutan: “It’s a real story!” Maenu: “We were all pretty drunk” Tattsun: “To reach the hotel there was a bit of distance so we decided to just walk to the hotel. The four of us keep on putting arms around each other during our walk back to the hotel! “ Shoutan:“That’s true!” Maenu: “Our managers happened to be on the lobby of the hotel and took a picture of us!” Tattsun: “They were like, ‘what are you guys doing? It’s funny so can i take a picture?’  and took a picture of it! Morikubo: “It was so fun!” Tattsun: “It was a blast! We talked about a lot of things” Morikubo: “We were able to feel this feeling thanks to the group named QUARTET NIGHT. So, Shouta, how was it?” Shoutan: “Even though yesterday was only the first day, I already felt like tearing up many times on the stage.. I tried my best to endure it”  Tattsun: “It’s okay to cry though” Shoutan: “And this person would say something like that!! Near the end when i was about to tear up he would come and say “Oh? Oh? Are you about to cry?” (he’s like provoking shoutan to cry xD) and i’d say “That’s not true!” ”  Tattsun: “That’s okay Shouta~ if you cry I’ll pat your head”   (asdahkf) Shoutan: “But in truth, *points at maenu* tomo-nii was also about to cry in certain song!” Maenu: “A sweat, i was just sweating a lot!” Tattsun: *points at maenu “This guy right there, all he could do it say stuffs like that till he actually breaks into tear!” Maenu:“It was just a sweat!” Shoutan: “Something like that happened! Everytime i stand on this stage, i could feel all of your feelings directly. It directly reached my heart. I’m sure, it also reaches the four of them (chars) directly too.” Morikubo: “It’s our second solo live, so to surpass our previous live, we thought a lot about what our stage is supposed to be. For example the acoustic corner. After this too, we have a lot in store to show all of you here in Kobe. Please look forward to it!” Tattsun: “Among us, Maeno is the most passionate about QN, isn’t he?” Maenu: “That’s not true, all of us are equally passionate about it!” Tattsun: “Of course, we’re all passionate about it! But in terms of concentrating himself to the characters, i feel like he inspires us the most.” Maenu: “That’s not true!” Morikubo: “That’s true, whenever i see him he’s always practicing!” Shoutan: “Exactly! Everytime i’d see him practicing on the corner of the room” Tattsun: “So, how’s this concert for you?” Maenu: “Just as always, while looking forward to it i hope i could leave good memories in the history of QN’s journey. Every moment is so precious and dear to me, it happened to me during 6th live too, but that’s why when the show ended and i have to take off the sparkly and beautiful outfits, i would feel so sad. But of course, if there’s a beginning eventually there will come an end too, so i want to create a lot of memories with all of you before it ends. “ Maenu: “But really, the moment four of us are all here together, i always feel so at ease. It just feels like we’re unbeatable. It’s so addicting.” Morikubo: “That’s true.” Tattsun: “I agree” Shoutan: “When we’re practicing there are a lot of formations. In most of them, we’re supposed to stand a bit apart from each other, but when we started to talk with each other without even realizing it we’d suddenly stand so close to each other!” Tattsun: “Without even realizing it!” Morikubo: “in the previous live something like that happened too wasn’t it? Even though the stage was big, suddenly we all were already in the middle of the stage standing so close to each other! We’re supposed to use the wide stage!” Maenu: “I mean, don’t you think it’s already unusual for four fully-grown adults to walk back to hotel with their arms on each other’s shoulder?!” xD Tattsun: “And the thing is, aside from QUARTET NIGHT we actually always go on our separate ways, right?” Maenu: “That’s true! Even if we meet on another works we’ll just say greetings and go our separate ways!” Tattsun: “Actually this time, the day before the concert, i heard that we could do rehearsal on the hall and i was on the same bullet train with Maeno. I met him in the station of Tokyo. We exchanged “Good morning” and just went our separate ways just like that!” Shoutan: ”Eh?! Really?!” Morikubo: “You didn’t come together?!” Tattsun: “We just exchanged good morning. It’s not like i had any reason to go together with him.” (The way he said it was a bit funny xD a bit tsun) Maenu: “That’s right! I was buying something in the convenience store and Tatsu came in when i was about to quit the store. So it was like ‘Oh so you’re going to buy something here, i see. See you later!’ “ Tattsun: “And so i replied ‘Yeah, i’m going in. Later!’ and went to opposite direction“ Maenu:“But the moment we met up on the rehearsal we would start saying things like ‘Let’s do this part!’ to each other.” Shoutan: “That’s very like Ranmaru and Camus!” *audience laughed xD* Morikubo: “You’re right! That’s exactly the same!” Shoutan:“Exact same!” Morikubo: “The two-shots of these two is interesting so let us see it! *goes away from the other two and gets closer to shoutan* Yesterday when we were eating together it was like that too. They were like Ranran and myuu-chan” Maenu: “But at the group line Shouta also enthusiastically does stuffs like that!” (acting like characters) Tattsun: “He said stuffs like that!” Maenu: “He’d say stuffs like ‘I won’t forgive you if you’re late!’”  Shoutan: “We uploaded a photo of our hands and mics, didn’t we?” Tattsun: ”We actually created a diamond on that photo” (the more you know) Shoutan:”We’re a group so it’d be better to upload it on the same time. Showtaro-niisan suggested that we all upload it on 21:00. Tatsu-nii edited the photo for us. After he sent it to us, tomo-nii replied with “Can’t be helped, i’ll use it” (like camus xD)”  Morikubo:”Then our whole in-char conversations started!” Maenu:”*points at tattsun* He replied with “You’re not being honest” Tattsun: ”That’s normal thing to say, right?! If you’re going to use it you could just say thanks, right?!” Shoutan:“And they i’d reply with “*Ai’s voice* They’re at it again” and added *back to usual shoutan* let’s do it on 21:00″  Tattsun: “We sure talk in our characters personality don’t we? Shoutan:”We do!” Morikubo:”Speaking of LINE, we actually have an utapri all cast group line and yesterday all of the STARISH members gave us encouraging messages.” Tattsun: ”It made me really happy!” Morikubo:”All of them did!” Tattsun: ”We’re standing here right now as QUARTET NIGHT, but we want to treasure the fact that it’s STARISH who opened the path for us. So it makes me really happy! I feel like that it fired us up even more, it made us stronger” Morikubo then said that they’re going to sing the next song and he suddenly told tattsun and maenu to stand beside each other to which maenu replied with “It’s not like we’re close with each other or anything!” xD and they started with next song

9. Marriage

Because it was acoustic arrangement there weren't any background vocals so instead they sang all of the english background vocals live too (ex: "under the starlight~ let's find our love part" etc) and it was really pretty! ;; if i remember well it's mostly shoutan for higher octave (i thought i heard female voice LOLOL) and switched between maenu/morikubo/tattsun for lower parts! Tbh listening to the reff reminded me how much maenu has improved with his singing/harmonies. It sounded really pleasant. On the middle of the song they introduced band members (i think it was percussion, violin, guitar, bass and keyboard??) while they were sitting on the front stage floor xD it was cute!!

Questions VTR. Seiyuus were asked some questions about their characters (impression, stuffs they like about them, etc) Maenu joked a lot, (or stuffs he said were just purely funny lol) shoutan too! In general it was really funny! But it was pretty long and fast so i didn’t manage to remember/take note of most of them, i’m sorry!;; Stuffs written here are not in order and is more or less just the gist of it. They didn’t show each of their full interview as one but instead cut their sentences halfway, switch to another person and so on so it was a bit hard to remember their full answer but here are the questions:

Was there something you couldn’t understand from your character?

Morikubo→ “Thank you very very Macho-cho “ LOL Tattsun→ How harsh he was toward ppl around him Shouta→ He sleeps on siting position LOL Maenu→ He puts way too much sugar on his drink (Saw that coming xD)

Which part do you like from your character from the very beginning?

Morikubo→ As a moodmaker, he actually could read the atmosphere well Tattsun→ He’s extremely straightforward and devoted (abt his work/in general?) Never compromise (to aim for better thing) Shouta→He’s like a cute younger brother. His voice is beautiful LOLOL Maenu→ His “strong heart”. He’s not afraid of being hated and says stuffs the way he think it is. 

What was your first impression of your character?

Morikubo→ Bright but hard to figure out (his inner thoughts etc) Tattsun→ Scary Shouta→ Difficult to deal with Maenu→ Full of dignity

When did you feel like you’ve become best friend with your character?

Morikubo→ The moment  “Yoroshiku Macho-cho “ was born  Tattsun→ The moment some parts of Ranmaru he didn’t know started to appear, when he felt grateful for the chance to learn more about Ranmaru Shouta→ The moment he learned that Ai is not a human being Maenu→ The moment he woke up and mistook Jan 23 (Camus’ birthday) as his own birthday

Is there something you still can’t understand about your character?

Morikubo→ Wonder how did Reiji become such a “strong” person Tattsun→ “Aside from his honest and serious personality he also cooks well, is kind to animals, Isn’t his ‘spec’ too high?!” He said he couldn’t forgive Ranmaru for being too ‘high-spec’ xD Shouta→ He still sleeps in sitting position (He talked about how sleeping on bed def works better to recover yourself many times LOL) Maenu→ When he drinks something he put in a lot of sugar

What is something you like from your character now?

Morikubo→ (not sure i’m sorry;;) He pushed himself to limits for members Tattsun→ Everything (Aaaaaa) Shouta→ Became a lot softer. Understands his own position well Maenu→ He doesn’t try to flatter others/sugarcoat things

Is there a (bad) thing you want your character to fix/improve?

Morikubo→ He’s strong but he should stop keeping his feelings bottled up inside and relax more Tattsun→ He should stop wearing different color contact lenses for both eyes LOL Stop depending on color lenses Shouta→ Stay the way he is Maenu→ He’s drinking way too much sugar for his health

Is there anything you hope for your characters?

Morikubo→ There must still be a lot of Reiji’s side we’re not aware of so he should show us more sides/charms of him Tattsun→ Stay just the way he is Shouta→ Ai might be a robot but he should meet a lot people, move forward with his comrade, treasure each of the moment of his life Maenu→ He believes Camus could make the impossible possible so he wants to see him fly in the sky LOL

What should you/character do to achieve higher heights?

Morikubo→ Not only about what about to happen in the future, for now they should look at what is right in front of them. Tattsun→ They should clash more, and at the same time also try to understand each other, tolerate each other more. Shouta→ They should sing more variety of songs Maenu→ They might not in ‘that’ good term with each other, but in return those colliding powers are creating an even stronger power. By that, they boost each other up and that’s the kind of group QN is. They should keep going they way they are.

If you were to describe your character in a word, what would it be?

Morikubo→ Wedge Tattsun→ Flame Shouta→ Love (Ai) Maenu→ Ice  

All: “That’s.. QUARTET NIGHT” And next song started! Outfit change, white pants, white and their respective colors? a bit casual, design is different for each of them! 

10. The dice are cast Powerful singing, as we already knew! The choreography looked like 5th and QN 1st solo con? They moved around the area and stopped when all of the carts became one in the middle of arena seats. I also noticed that tattsun's part of the adlibs on the bridge was a bit different (improvisation with higher notes and i think i heard him doing it in both days)

11. STARLIGHT MEMORY I PERSONALLY LOVE THIS SONG so i was really hyped up for it! They sang while still on the cart and like on QN 1st solo con they used stand-mic for the choreography. It was really heated up, the "Just say Quartet Night!" parts were also sang by the audience and our voices were LOUD! It was fun!

12. Evolution Eve The first acapella sounded as heavenly as what i've heard in previous lives! ;;_;; Also the first acapella which was supposed to be lines without harmony for some reasons was harmonized? pretty sure it was tattsun with higher harmony! The instrumental break dance part we already knew from previous lives were changed, i'm pretty sure it wasn't the same. The previous one was good but this one was even better! I remember morikubo doing a really smooth turn. Proud of their improvements!

13. Double Face *Camus butler mode voice* "Let me show you my everything" *Camus usual mode voice* "You peasant! Fine, i'll do it according to your wish. Witness my 'love'!" Suddenly Maenu appeared with this song! I wasn't expecting this at all but it was a good surprise! Two dancers in white and black (like in QN 1st solo con) were present and maenu was also singing on a stand-mic. It was really similar to QN 1st solo con performance. As usual his voice change was amazing! In first day, it was clear that maybe the fast voice change made him a bit confused sometimes tho xD it was cute.. In 2nd day he did super great tho! One of my favorite thing about watching over QN seiyuus’ growth is watching Maenu getting more confident and glowing each live ♡ 

14. Synchronism Shoutan appeared on front stage with dancers. Apparently his outfit this time had animal ears (i'm not sure is it cat? or not..) fur hoodie and he had his hoodie up! It was extremely cute!! The dance was similar to 6th, but i think there were additional moves? Also if 6th live performance wasn't cute enough this one was even cuter it was illegal //no On 2nd day he also made a lot of different expressions from the one in 1st day during dance break (you probs know which one if you watched 6th live) As expected from shoutan, lot of fanservices were given! In 2nd day last reff "Amaku shite~" part he gave us a thrown kiss too! lol Been thinking about it for a while but it’s actually amazing how stable he was even at extremely low notes.

15. Not bad Tattsun and dancers came from main stage! He danced most of the time and both his dances and singing were amazing and powerful! ;; Also i'm really sure some parts of the dance moves changed entirely, for example the reff's "yoku kike yo, nidoto wa iwanai ze" part? It was such a passionate performance and i have no words except it was SUPER COOL ;;_;; There was also fire burst (?) stage effect and it was cool! He walked from the main stage to front stage! Instead of singing it, the music suddenly stopped and he said the "Ore ni *a bit pause* tsuite koi (follow.. me)" as a serifu

16. NEVER Morikubo appeared with his hat and he threw it away xD I think he improved a lot with his dancing compared to previous performances of this song! The choreography looked similar to the one on 5th live with some additions? I really love the part where monitor behind him turned into a big green　→　rainbow ferris wheel! ;; I personally really love Never's Reiji and the performance was wonderful ;; On the quiet part he usually went with falsetto on "honki to iu na no imi ga tsumatteru" but this time he went full power on that part! He also inserted a bit of adlibs after that and it was pleasant

17. Non-fiction Main stage was engulfed in red light and non-fiction intro was played, people around me went wild xD Tattsun and Maenu appeared sitting on a (what seemed to be) luxurious sofa while singing! It's interesting how the way they sit reflected their character personalities lol (Maenu legs crossed? and tattsun had his right leg up on the sofa) lol Maenu had his camus glasses on. They also danced a lot on instrumental parts and did some poses/combination dance(?) together! I love how they were posing with the sofa (for example if one of them sit the other stand behind the sofa etc) and also posed together (ex maenu put his hand on tattsun's back etc). Tattsun "Aaaa ↑" high notes part (you know which one) sounds amazing on live, it was powerful and on point. They also danced a lot on front stage. All in one it was GREAT and i’m pretty sure a lot of you would like this performance a lot

18. Fiction Started with pretty adlibs. As opposed to Non-fiction, It was an emotional and melancholic performance. Their harmonies were really pretty and their singing were great/emotional too! They weren't doing many moves, instead at some parts it feels much like drama posing (There were still kinda melancholic choreography at instru break). It somehow had really sad vibe ;; Shoutan was a great actor, they posed like stageplay at some parts. For example shoutan (ai) was looking at morikubo (reiji) but shook his head and decided to turn back, or morikubo staring at shoutan from afar, etc. At one part they had their hands up and joint their hands, but shoutan/ai let go of his hand and went away ;; At the end they stared at each other and shoutan/ai walked away from the stage first (from the middle of main stage) and morikubo/reiji followed after. The outro was still playing, with only falling petals (2nd day correction i think it was white feathers?) being lighted-up. I kinda teared up during this performance

All: "Fiction or non-fiction"

19. KIZUNA As usual, the harmonies of this song were really pretty. They also sit on main stage stairs and pose like car-scene on the anime (like they did on QN 1st solo con) with morikubo acting like he's driving the car. The whole thing felt similar to QN 1st solo con, it was amazing nonetheless. Last slow part never fails to make my eyes teary ;; I MEAN who doesn’t.. they also did the last part where they pointed at the characters on screen. 

20. QUARTET★NIGHT I ACTUALLY WASN'T EXPECTING THIS TO COME HERE LOL but i love this song with passion bc it's the start of QN so i was really hyped for it! The choreo was also similar to QN 1st solo con. I personally think their 3rd live (aka 1st appearance as QN ever) of this song was unrivaled, but this performance was probably even better than that! It was easy to see how much they improved and i was extremely happy. Their vocals gave me chills and it also reminded me of when i first came to like QN, it was amazing.

Morikubo/Reiji told us it's his DJ time (wasn't really DJ-ing like prev live tho) and introduced dancers as the rest of them sit on the main stage stairs. They took turn to introduce the dancers. Reiji→Ranmaru→Ai→Camus

Tattsun (in Ranmaru’s voice) told us it's last song after this

21. FLY TO THE FUTURE I knew it LOL I guessed this song would be the last song after encore and i was right! When i first heard this song i was amazed at how QN managed to even surpass their previous harmonization with this song. The live version was amazing, their harmonies were heavenly. It was perfectly done, i can't help but crying halfway... They also danced quite a lot on this song. There was LONG (like 10 secs?) pause before the serifu "Arigato, soshite kore kara mo" (last reff after "nakeru hodo waite~").  Basically they sang That part was really emotional. It's also fun to do "Fly to the future~" call with other audience. It was easily one of my favorite QN performances of all time.

Encore “QUARTET NIGHT!!” calls started. I think i LOVE the Kobe World Hall they're using this time. It's not as small as previous QN solo con (to the point that the "Quartet Night" call wasn't really that loud bc there weren't that many people to begin with) but it's also not too big to manage a perfectly synced encore call. It's probs one of the most synced encore i've heard in my life (in BOTH days). Actually, i was really moved by how amazing the audiences were this time around. Super interactive and cooperative. The acoustic of the hall was amazing, both voices and instru were easy to listen to and sound crystal-clear. It’s easily one of my favorite concert hall ever.

22. Force Live They danced the choreography from the MV (except maybe the kick thing at the beginning lol) This song sounded great without autotune btw LOL i have to say QN sounds great on their own so they sound a lot better without autotune live. There isn't much to say except both of their dancing and singing were awesome! Morikubo also did front kick on 2nd verse if i remember it right! It was really cool watching the MV on the screen behind while looking at their performance/dance. You could see how much effort they spent to perfect their performances.

MC Announcement→ Renewal of utapri movie website Day 1 by Camus Day 2 by Ai (+DVD/BD announcement of the concert) Day 1 Maenu: “I’m the one trusted to voice Camus, Maeno Tomoaki. I’m sure all of you managed to feel the characters through our performances, so i’m not going to talk a lot this time. It’s been a year and half since the first solo live. At that time, i talked about how i was the only one without any singing career among us and how i felt about it. I felt like i had nothing at the beginning. Of course, i still feel it now even if it’s just a bit. But now that i look back at it, maybe i was able to bring something new to the group precisely because i had nothing. And i was able to do it thanks to the other members, all of your support and the utapri staffs. Thank you very much. As for me, i’ll keep on chasing after Camus’ back. If i have the chance again in the future, i’ll do my best to perform as Camus onstage. So, from now on please keep on supporting STARISH, QUARTET NIGHT and HEAVENS. Thank you for coming today!”

Shoutan: “I’m the C.V of Mikaze Ai, Aoi Shouta. Whenever this time (last MC) comes I somehow could never put my thoughts together well.. This time, we got to sing a lot of new songs. Among them are the newest Fiction and Non-Fiction. The recording was a bit painful and i got to feel a lot of different feelings. Up till now I always felt like i just couldn’t catch up to Ai and it gave me chance to think a lot about myself.  Their time (chars), and of course our time will never stop moving forward and will pass. I hope Quartet night could be the group to keep on challenging themselves. I really love all of the members/my comrades. Being able to stand on this stage always makes me rethink about a lot of things. With these feelings, I want to be able to find more “possibilities” and take it to the future. I’m really grateful to be able to stand here. Please keep on supporting utapri!”

Tattsun: “I’m the one standing closest to Kurosaki Ranmaru, Suzuki Tatsuhisa. I had a lot of things i wanted to say. During the rehearsal, when i was practicing with the members of QUARTET NIGHT, i felt something. At that time what crossed my mind was ‘Ah, today i feel “scared”. My heart was racing, and it reminded me of the first time i became Ranmaru. ((Stuffs i couldn’t remember after adjalksjf i’m really sorry;; I think he said about how he was not sure if it’s alright for him to stand as Ranmaru onstage and also made a joke about it but i just can’t remember what was it ;;)) But the ‘idol’ Ranmaru is, without me even realizing it, has already moved so much away in front of me. The Ranmaru inside me keeps on telling me “I should do it like this” and thanks to that i caused a lot of troubles (bc he keeps on being idealistic), practice a lot. I would imagine how all of you would react and feel, and to be honest right now I’m extremely anxious. When i stand as QUARTET NIGHT, i could hear all of your supports directly, and seeing your happy expressions i’m just glad i could be here. Everytime, i’d think about how i just purely love all about this series. I love all of my comrades (starish+heavens too?), there’s no one i dislike, I respect all of them from the bottom of my heart. I love each of them. And so that those words won’t turn into lies, I hope that all of the people watching this, be it here or on live-viewing could feel it through my performances today. That’s the only thing i have on my head right now. I’m really happy i could stand as Kurosaki Ranmaru. It’s all thanks to the staffs, utapri casts, all of you who come today, a lot of others who couldn’t come today, STARISH who opened the path for us. I couldn’t thank all of you enough. Thank you!”

Morikubo : ”To all of you who take us to the world we could never imagine before, to QUARTET NIGHT who gave us the chance to spend this time, thank you very much. (the topic mentioned in prev MCs) It’s true that we’re the one standing closest to our characters. But we’re standing ‘behind’ the characters, the one standing besides them is all of you. You’ll be the one guiding our characters, and so that the four of us could also move forward. This time we’re blessed with a chance to do a 2nd solo live, so of course I intended to do my very best! Experiencing a lot of things, in previous solo live the word “payback” naturally became our theme. And after that we got the chance to stand on 6th live with HEAVENS also joining us. I was happy at that time for the fact that at that time we had ‘future’ performances waiting for us. The words “evolution” “thanks” “kizuna/bonds” of course are still naturally here with us, and we’re about to see what’s going to be the next theme. Did you manage to feel something through us? Thank you. From the day of last solo live up till today, i’m sure QUARTET NIGHT was the one taking all of us to the future we have today. From now on, please keep on standing by your favorite characters! Please create a future for us! We’ll be following from behind. Let’s enjoy it just like that! As long as we have your love and feelings, we’ll keep on advancing. I hope to see you again if the chance comes. I’d be looking forward the day when we could dance, sing, along with STARISH and HEAVENS in front of you again. To all of you on the hall, live-viewing, thank you very much!!”

Morikubo : “Sooo~~ what do we do now? *laughs* Let’s drink the water shall we?” And they drank the water onstage xD love how the audience let out a big reaction and they were like we’re only drinking water here xD After that they had a short MC connecting to the next song

Day 2 Morikubo: “And n-now, for the e-end *stumbled with his words many times*  let each of us say our last messages! (him stumbling) It’s my body showing you all my feelings or not wanting it to end!” xD Shoutan: “I can feel it!” Morikubo: “Let us begin with Maeno!” Maenu: “*in camus voice* I refuse!” (audience screams) Shoutan: “So he feels sad!” xD Morikubo: “That’s a convenient word!” Maenu: “*in camus voice* Well, sure i’ll do it. Wait a bit" "closes his eyes for a while and opens it* Maenu: *back to normal “ I’m the one trusted to voice Camus, Maeno Tomoaki. Since October started and we started our rehearsal, almost every night i saw a dream of yesterday and today concerts. Expectations, anxiety, pressure, i’m sure i saw those dreams due to a lot of feelings. And now, to see all of you here, people on the live viewing, spending time together, it all feels like a dream. I’m sure even tomorrow and the day after, i’ll see it on my dreams. As a part of QUARTET NIGHT, i think i managed to create many great memories here. On previous live, our theme was to do “payback” to starish, to utapri and to all of us. And this time too, we talked a lot and decided on a theme but our journey of ‘payback’ will never stop as long as utapri still exists. With that as the foundation, so that a “ final destination” will never come to the future of QUARTET NIGHT, it’s a journey that will never ends. I’ll do my very best so that i could see the back of Camus who’s standing so far in front of me. From now on, please keep on supporting STARISH, HEAVENS, QUARTET NIGHT and utapri. Thank you so much for coming today.”

Shoutan: “This moment finally comes once again.. (audience says ganbare) Thank you! I’m the C.V of Mikaze Ai, Aoi Shouta. Did you have fun? While doing my very best to sing in front of all of you, i keep on thinking about what to say here. I had a lot of things i wanted to say, but whenever this moment comes I can’t put my feelings together.. That’s just how big it is. After the first day ended, we had a little after-party. At that time we talked about how there’s still today. There was still a future called “tomorrow” for us. I’m standing here today with the hope of creating beautiful memories together with all of you here, people on live-viewing and with all of the staffs. With starish opening the path, the four of us then joined in the middle of the story. To be honest, as a member of QUARTET NIGHT, i’d be lying if i say i didn’t feel inferior to others. But the fact that i could stand here right now and be with all of the people who love utapri, like starish and heavens, makes me feel that i’m actually spending the time together with everyone. To stand as a proud member of QUARTET NIGHT, to be someone who supports the utapri series which i really love from the bottom of my heart, that’s what i want Ai to become. That’s why, from now on as a part of QUARTET NIGHT, as Mikaze Ai, i’ll do my very best to liven utapri up. I hope to spend good time with all of you. I’m still no good, but thank you for always being here. From now on, let us love uta no prince-sama together. Thank you very much.” Morikubo: “You’re getting a lot better on giving comments. I talked about that with Maeno on the underground backstage when we were listening to your MC at acoustic corner” And suddenly Shoutan teared up ;;; morikubo then followed him up Morikubo: “Is that some kind of malfunction?” (ref to Ai’s identity) (Audience laughs)

Tattsun : “I play the role of Kurosaki Ranmaru, Suzuki Tatsuhisa. I keep on thinking of what to say. This time, i felt anxious too. Yesterday Showtaro-san said a really good thing. The four of us are standing behind the characters, and the one standing besides them is all of you. I thought it was a really good words. I’m always chasing after him. He runs very fast, you know (audience laughs). He keeps on doing his best and moving forward. He’ll say “I want to do something like this!” “I want to do this kind of performance!” “I’m still nowhere my limit!” and will run even faster. I can’t help but think that “He’s too fast”, and everytime i have the chance to stand on this stage I always feel like it’s way too much for me. For me, objectively speaking as part of the audience, Utapri’s live is so fun. I always get overexcited like an idiot on the backstage. Humming the melodies of the songs. But i wonder if it’s okay for someone like that to stand here. It’s not like that i have something beautiful to show to all of you. But even so, i decided to at least do the very best i could. So that, i can proudly tell him that I’ve done everything i could. So that i could tell him I managed to let out everything he has to show. I’m standing here now so that i could say all of those words. I sincerely hope my thoughts could reach you even if it’s just a bit. The only thing i could do is to give him a voice and to push him forward. With my singing, i can move forward together with him. But the one who could take him further ahead, is all of you. You’re the one who makes it “amazing”. Isn’t it the best? Nothing but the best isn’t it? I really love utapri that gives me the chance to do so. I love STARISH, I love QUARTET NIGHT, and I love HEAVENS. I love everything about it. I could love all of the characters. I just love it so much. From now on there might be both positive comments and criticism. Bring it on! I’ll shoulder everything and stand behind the mic, be it onstage or not, as Kurosaki Ranmaru. No matter what it is, i’ll shoulder it all. I believe it’s all because of something carved deep inside of my heart. That’s why i’ll keep on moving forward just like that. To the future! Thank you so much for today!”

Morikubo: “Did you have fun? And live viewing?” Morikubo: “Just like the other three, i have many things i want to say. I came up with the words after listening to Tatsu’s “I’m the one standing closest to Ranmaru” yesterday. But it feels a bit off if i say ‘beside’ them, because each of us are standing behind quartet night. The one should be beside them is all of you.  Please take them to the future, and so the four of us will also follow, that’s what i said yesterday. And such feeling is getting stronger today. Just as what maeno said, we talked about how we should stand on the stage today. A keyword, our share motive. Up till now, it naturally came to us. For example on the previous live it naturally came to us on our LINE group chat. We then just naturally agreed on it. And having a keyword/theme managed to bring us together as a group. “If the four of us are together we feel at ease” we talked earlier was also something like that. This time, actually until the day before, we had no such keyword. But that’s actually something to be grateful about. In the past there were a lot of things, a lot of stories and hardships that built up and naturally provided us with a keyword. But this time, when we realized it we have nothing like that. That means we’re just purely advancing towards the live. Rather than something like “Let’s beat something!”,  it was purely “Let’s do the live!” kind of feeling. But in return, then it was hard to come up with a keyword. We were wondering if we should have one. The day before the live, this time too, Tatsuhisa started asking about it. I came up and say something like “Do you have a bit of time? Why don’t we gather and talk about it? It won’t take long” on our group LINE. Because the next day we have to wake up early, Maeno was about to stop us but suddenly he got no signal and it was unsent!” Maenu: “He said something like that on 12 pm when the day was about to change and we were all tired after practice!” Tattsun: “It can’t be helped! It crossed my mind when doing the rehearsal!!” Maenu: “So i was about to send a message about how we should just talk about it the day after, but suddenly i had no signal and it was unsent! Afterwards, the others were ready to do it so i have no choice but to erase that message.” Tattsun: “So that’s why! I thought it was rare for you to say nothing” Maenu: “And so in the end.. *gets it back to Morikubo*” Morikubo: “We ended up talking about a lot of things. Looking back at stuffs we’ve done in the past, and a lot more. And so a keyword was born. I won’t say it here. It’s the best to feel it through our performance. But there was talk about DVD just now, so maybe~ they will have a commentary video or something right? I’m not sure, i haven’t heard anything about it! But we stood onstage with that keyword on mind. I’ll be happy if each of you could feel it through our performances. And if someday the chance comes, we’ll talk about it there and not right now. This time we’ve done everything, the best of the best we could’ve done. We’re doing our best to chase after QUARTET NIGHT. If they move forward, we’ll do so too. We believe that all of you will take them even further. But Maeno, Aoi, Suzuki and Morikubo who are standing here right now, had done everything we could possible do. If you’re okay with us, if you’re okay with this kind of atmosphere and performance, the four of us will be more than happy to stand on the stage again! We’re serious about them. I’m sorry, but even if you try and search through the whole world, you won’t find someone who is as serious as we are toward them. Please believe in us for that matter! Please take them to the future. Will you show us the future?” (audience cheers) Morikubo: “Thank you! Thank you very much for today!” They then talked about how it’s not like them to be emotional. But then no one continued the convo bc they don’t want it to end and Morikubo was like ??!? Morikubo: “I understand that feeling! But! I’m not going to take up that offer again! I’ve became an adult” (He meant the scene on 1st live when they talked about not wanting it to end and he lay his body on the floor and sulked xD) And they finally got it into next song

23. GOD'S S.T.A.R The serifu at the beginning completely changed! *u* This song was so fun to do!!! The call and response was extremely fun and the hall was fully heated up by this song. It's probs hard to get the hype of this song if you haven't experienced this song live and only see this song on videos. BUT THIS IS the song that got the audience fired up/hyped more than any other song. The choreography was similar to QN 1st live and 6th live. I remember Maenu went down on his knees at some point at the reff and people around me went crazy over it!

Double encore I had feeling there would be double encore considering the amount of song they did plus they weren't changing into encore T-shirt on 1st encore. This time they had live t-shirt, Maenu wore camus prince parka on top of it. Day 1 Morikubo:  “This is the first time we had double encore right? *audience cheers*  Let’s go to the last song, the one that will unite all of us together. Let us begin!” *silent of other members xD* Morikubo: “Mmm?! We’re not starting?! You three had that kind of faces (of not wanting to start next song)” Tattsun: “If it’s possible i just want to get closer to everyone/audience”| Morikubo: “And now you’re saying something like that again~ Let’s do it shall we?” Day2 Morikubo: “Thank you for the double encore! I was worried all of you would just return home after that..” Morikubo: “It seems like we’re allowed to sing one more song!” Shoutan: “Yaay!” Tattsun: “There’s still that one song we haven’t sung, isn’t it?” Morikubo: “Let us sing that song! But please remember that when it comes to our feelings, we’re actually super ready to do another day or two!” Tattsun: “If it 's possible, to be honest i really want to do it” Morikubo: “We keep on talking about stuffs like that! But those feelings, please use that feelings to create a path to future!” And they started with the next song ;;

24. You're my life It seems like we need this song to end every QN solo con and i’m totally not complaining! They went around the hall with carts and the whole performance was similar with QN 1st live, except they were a lot cheerier and weren't crying that much?? (edit on 2nd day they did look teary) Since they were circling around, i also got the chance to see all of them up-close! ;; We were also singing lalalala part like in QN 1st solo con! I really love their smile at this song ;; they look like they were having tons of fun Audience also sang last "Kimi no moto ni todoke~" together and it was really touching. 2nd day "Kimi no moto ni todoke~~~~~~" was really long. On 2nd day i also remember the moment carts pass each other they did hi-touch with each other! tattsun and shoutan also had a hug? at one part

When they were doing the farewell greeting they went around like how it usually goes, fly to the future instrumental was playing on the background and the audience sang the "Fly to the future" part together ;; it was really touching!! At first day they weren't crying but i saw shoutan and maenu having teary eyes. 

Day 2 Shoutan was crying a bit, at one point he was crouching down and hid his face. On 2nd day audience was singing along to fly to the future too and they took off their in-ear monitor to listen to our voices and they looked really touched by it ;; They hugged each other starting from tattsun and maenu and so on. I remember tattsun and shoutan hug was a bit longer bc shoutan got so emotional and tattsun comforted him and patted his head ;; Shoutan was tearing up but at last moment before stage closes he smiled and it was memorable. When the stage was closing shoutan dragged morikubo close to him and shoutan+morikubo+tattsun peek through the remaining open gap and at last seconds Maenu also went to the middle except i could only see his rings in dark xD Also, can you believe that all of us the audience keep on singing along to the instrumental ver of QN songs (god’s star) EVEN AFTER the live ended? That’s just how cooperative and interactive the audiences were for both days and It was a BLAST. I felt so glad to be able to take part on it. The audience was extremely passionate and i’m sure you’d be able to feel it too even through BD/DVD vids. 

This felt awfully short compared to previous live maybe because the amount of the song! instead we got a lot of MCs tho. Utapri, thank you so much for getting all of these awesome people together. I can’t understand tbh, how did producer Agematsu gather four people whose voices blend like heaven even tho they have such a different voice characters...? Plus they also harmonize like heaven and perform really well.. I’m just so grateful I discovered such an amazing group.

(From Morikubo’s tweet!) Thank you so much for reading and i hope all of you love Quartet Night as much as i do ♡

Cringing at my own videos

Training Videos Edition!

I got bored, needed motivation to start editing, went back to take a look at my older videos, and now I judge and cringe at them because that’s a given at this stage

Under the cut to keep your dash shorter :3

Determined Horse Training, the title I came up with to be a little unique. I obviously couldn’t use something akin to Northena’s “Training Is Fun...Right?” and I wanted to give it a proper title knowing this would be a series of videos. I thought, and thought, and came up with the title after thinking of Undertale and how you are filled with determination in the game. “I am filled with determination to train these horses!” is what I thought and so the title of the series became that!

I use // as a way to separate different topics I’m talking about

Brave Rebel- First off...the thumbnail. He was originally themed sort of after Nathan Drake from Uncharted, since I was into that series at the time. So the map was, you know, for the treasure hunting. But I didn’t want to stretch the map to fit and somehow decided that a brown background was a good idea?? // AH THE CLOTHES! THE NECK!! AHHH GATORADE OCEAN BLEHH. // Oh yeah I have a spelling error in the video “Let’s go defeat this traning day!”. // Been training with Sage from the start of the series. I wonder how many fails of their’s I’ve caught XD // Ah the rocks, the rocks that I caught Sage stumbling out of in a later training video. // Let’s not forget the double mouse thing going on that makes its appearance in many videos before I figured out to click off of the web pages (which had a music playlist going while training). // Omg there’s someone with the club name The Babies standing nearby when I turn in the final race. // Low-key still love this horse. He was my first true Soul Steed before we were designated to our starter. I don’t take him out much, the difference in horse animations from new to old is getting bigger and for dynamic photos, it just doesn’t look good ( @~@)

Cool Hero- The horse based off of Markiplier back when he had red hair. I also uploaded the video on his birthday! // The song choice....I mean it fits the theme, otherwise I’d pick a better song. // The mini references I’m still low-key proud of. // There’s quite the amount of gliding pons in this video and some horror texture pons. // I obviously had to max Markimoo at the observatory! // I also mimicked Mark’s outros where an image is boomeranging. It took a couple tries with my friend in the background, but it was worth it!

Violet Mystery- I hope when I introduced her as “The winner of the Jorvik Wild horse competition” I mean, she was the first coat to be picked. Back when it was only one horse coat is being made. They added the top two coats afterwards. // Oh yeah the character’s whole head would move to the side to keep eye contact with the camera. // It’s so weird to think that I caught a bit of footage of Swifty just before meeting her. Then again I remember NOT editing this training video until months later and uploaded it in September. Mind you that I got Cool Hero and Violet Mystery at the same time and Cool Hero’s video was out in June...oops. // Ironic that I have the pandoric cracks around when the horse is based off them. // People running up from the riding arena, ah the fog glitch that would happen when you left your horse in the riding area, ran all the way to the dino valley elevator, took it, and there was no fog in the valley! 

Megalove- Ah the first Undertale horse! I mean technically still the only Undertale themed horse I have, but I do have others planned. Haven’t gotten them yet and some plans changed. // The thumbnail....why did I make the stickers super tiny?? // Finally changed Elsa’s hairstyle to the ponytail I still wear to this day. We need updated ponytails with side bangs! I know we have the awesome braided ponytail in Mistfall, but there’s too much forehead! // Also the first training footage with the meet up....was 4 hours long. This was back when I recorded all stages of training and went through the footage in real time....I’m glad I changed strategy. // Can’t remember if crashing into a jump and the jump of the music timed at the same point was on purpose or if it was editing magic. // Oof cringing that I put comic sans as Sans “talking” in the video nnngghhhhh! // Ah my old club name Royal Ambassadors. I gave that club over to my side account Chiara Monsterhope for obvious reasons. // Annoying Dog in the credits, I still love that

Lucky Hero- I’m still proud that I came up with his nickname Vien short of Vienna where the famous riding school is. He, along with Brave Rebel, are my top horses. Please get an update eventually boys! // Finally Mac users had clear water! I was so happy over this you do not understand XD // Warriors by Imagine Dragons fits this horse, but quite a pain when I got Dark Warrior and didn’t want repeating songs. // Oh yeah early on, the Lipizzaners had a weird reflective tail glitch going on. // Vien was the first horse of mine that I got the day of release, bright and early in the morning! // I love how in the face of danger, an approaching bull dozer, I just stare at it. It wasn’t even a “oh no I should get out of the way” and instead was “huh that’s a thing”. // ALLY CHUM! I forgot that was a nickname to good friend!

Grey Ghost- OH BOY HERE WE GO!! Honestly my favorite training video. It was so much fun to edit with the music and the Halloween stickers hidden around the screen! Despite waking up at 5am to train for that aesthetic™. // Okay but that mushroom with the dark green sign did legit give me a spook. My body froze for a second and then I remembered that Slenderman doesn’t exist in Star Stable XD. // Ngl two of the stickers are hard to see cause of their surroundings. // GALLOPER THOMPSON MY MAN! Honestly I waited till midnight for him to be in Goldenleaf forest, just to see what would happen if you were racing and he caught you. By the gods of editing magic, the song was at a good point that fits perfectly with that scene. // For the scarecrow race I did actually take two different takes. I failed the first one and when I was editing I noticed that the two runs looked similar. So I put the first part of run 1 and cut before I failed and then put the remaining of the race with run 2. Looks almost seamless! 

Silent Promise- My favorite mare in my stable! She ends up being my AoT cosplay photo horse...until I get the actual themed horse XP. // Shadows were a little glitchy at first. // Why am I using Rud instead of Rude. Like I know why cause that’s how we got around the filter, but I didn’t need to put it like that in the video. It’s like back in my WolfQuest days where I learned to use Cuz as a short version of Cause and it bled into my text vocab. // The witch bombs...I wanted to make it dramatic, but in hindsight it’s just tasteless really. Also to note that the sound which was fine before uploading, got more rough once it was on YouTube

Small Potential- Real cringe theme here, Hetalia. It was fun while watching and all that, but since then I’ve seen some well done anime! Growth! // I love the nickname Finny. Not too sure if I want to keep this pony or not, sadly. // The Christmas remix song is because I had no other ideas XD

Brave Eagle- Oh this is another slight cringe theme. Even more cringe is the fact that I had to re-upload this training video since it got blocked all over the world! due to the Hamilton musical songs. So I....had to layer over the songs with other songs....it’s a whole mess and was a whole pain since I had to re-edit the sound effects. // I’m proud of the thumbnail though....that’s it

Winter Dust- Why did I make the “there’s a new app with these foals you can train” with the dramatic music? // I think because I had less levels to train, I tried filling that space with “cool looking shots”. // Ah, yes, my How To Get Over A Jump wikipedia step by step

Hollow Phantom- Had to bring a creepy vibe even though it was February. So he’s like a Halloween not Halloween horse. // Can you believe that I found the main song from a Haikyuu!! crack video? XD. // That zoom on the pony surrounded by magic shires was weird. We’re saying “SO TINY” but the clip was so short it was done and over without much sense. // Mmm that slight irritation that the music and clip didn’t match with the drop. // Tried to blend the music together with itself....it’s obvious. // Of course had to max the Galloper horse where I first met the phantom himself

North Guardian- I wanna talk about the thumbnail....that background...is literally just the horse’s hindquarters. I wanted something mossy since the horse is sort of based off of Pelagia from Shadow of the Colossus. I couldn’t find good enough backgrounds, so I used the horse itself. // Again that urge to want to make the clip and music match but ahhh

Lucky Lucky- Still wish I could name this horse Gold Luck or something. // I think one of the camera turns during a race was just to show off the rainbow nearby. // Ahh! back when we could say “demon” in the chat. // Hmm instead of letting the clip run, I could’ve just cut to Reed calling the askew fence “a disgrace”. // Text was onscreen for just too long. // Trying to do the riding arena jumps with a good camera angle. But at that point, the camera kept moving and wouldn’t hold still. I’m glad it’s better now. Maybe I’ll try it again with a future horse. // Huh, forgot to add sound effects when I hit something on the last race

Silent Surprise- Cause I had to let the people know that I bought the horse after watching the Belmont. // AH STILL THE NECK! // 2 minutes in and we haven’t even gotten to the actual training yet. // Another day, another SSO glitch, this time it’s shadow rocks. // Oop missed a sound effect

Hot Spot- THE MUSTACHE! // I forgot I put a filter over the video to give it an old timey look. I should do more like that if it’s in theme. // Of course I had to have The Wanted be playing with this song since it’s old west sounding. // What was the purpose of editing the scarecrow race like that? XD. // Random running clip. // Walking the whole bobcat race would be nice if I didn’t keep moving the camera

Pumpkin Candy- As much as I love my Halloween horses, this training video isn’t up to the standards that the first Halloween training video set up. It’s still got Halloween themed music, it’s still got stickers hidden in the video, but it doesn’t feel the same. // Having text be their default instead of making them the same agh. // The spooky filter I overlayed the clips with changes at times. Would be nice if it stayed consistent

Dragon Dawn- Hmm now that I have more songs to choose from (getting into another artist as much as I did with The Wanted), I would have another song playing to fit the horse better. Maybe Euphoria or Mikrokosmos. Oh well those will be for future horses eventually! // Didn’t drop with the music...disappointed

Thunder Spirit- The horse that trains through three months. You can easily tell by the Valentine race, the rainbows of March, and April Fools. // Man I really need to work on making the text not be so BIG. // The first rainbow race had lots of sound effects. After that one I was just like “yeah not doing that again”

Sun Chaser- Eh the slowed down music is not the best idea. But I think it was also an intro to a remix of the song. So it was only so long and I had a bit to say for the intro of the horse. // The second clip of the mysterious Icelandic cryptid you can’t see them once it zooms in....annoying. // Too much of a slow build up with another cryptid spotting. // Also using the same sound but slower after just using it...smooth (not). // You know the very last clip of the horse as he’s turning around on the beach? Yeah that’s the exact moment I did the intro for the horse XD

Dragon Warrior- The contrast between me and Sage’s bantering vs the sadder song (I found the song because of a Zeno AMV) well it’s kinda weird having laughs and then sad melody. // YouTube again ruins the quality of the mic as it sounds fuzzier than it was pre-uploaded. // Low-key recording voices was fun aside from having to make sure the clips matched the voices and clicking of the mouse. // I’m still annoyed I couldn’t find the perfect snoring sound effect when Sage’s Connemara is sleeping and starts gliding away

Smoke Mirror- A little too much of a pause between text in the intro. // I love how I’m wearing a Halloween shirt because no other shirt matched with the blue of the hat except for the dress it came with THAT I GOT RID OF! 

Obsidian Mystery- I love the thumbnail for her training video. It’s so spooky and cool! Favorite thumbnail of the entire series right there. // Ironic that with the three Halloween horses I’ve had. The two with the upbeat music are the ones where Galloper was present that year. The one where Galloper was missing that October, the music was softer, generic Halloween music. Not intentional, but it works. Though the first Halloween training video still gets the trick-or-treats because it has nostalgic music. // Some text isn’t easily visible

Dark Warrior- The horse I wish I could name Secret Warrior cause that would make SO MUCH MORE SENSE than Dark Warrior, but here we are. // Since Warriors by Imagine Dragons was in a previous training video, I had to search for another song to fit the horse. I literally went through those anime character theme song videos to find one! That was a terrible jump cut of the song

Ember Flame- Coming Soon

Amusement parks, Classes & The Bus strikes again?

October 2nd, 2017

Today marks the 38th day that I’ve been in Belgium which is absolutely mind blowing since it feels like I just arrived yesterday XD. The time difference isn’t helping much either since being nine hours ahead of a lot of the people you talk to already makes it feel like time is passing you by. Its an odd feeling, but I guess it makes sense. After all, by studying abroad you’re essentially reliving your entire life, up to this point, plus a year in a year, so of course time seems accelerated. If anything, I think this new time perception is helping me develop some odd thing vaguely resembling time management skills. I say vaguely cause if it was actual time management skills this would’ve been up Sunday as advertised, but I got lazy and decided to play Egg inc. and watch Kpop videos instead.

So last week was pretty good. I didn’t have school on Wednesday due to the Fête de la Communauté française which basically meant that everyone over in Flanders still had school and such, but everyone here in Wallonia gets the school day off. It was nice not having to go to school for two Wednesdays in a row ^^.

Friday was quite eventful. For one thing, the bus dropped us off at a different spot and the clock wasn’t about to wait and gather my bearings. Lucky for me, I ended up recognizing the area and made it to school no problem so clearly the bus is set on giving me a sense of direction with all these bus stories XD. Before coming to Belgium I could safely say that I was directionally challenged, but it doesn’t seem to be as accurate anymore. I’m just bad with directions now XD.

Then I ended up having to read something that I wrote about pigeons in history class because of some random lady that showed up for some reason. Its just as odd and random as it sounds. Some lady literally took over our class for the two hours, had us write anything about pigeons and then had us read it to the class so she could judge it or something like that. Mine was so bad XD. It was more like something a 6 year old would write rather than a 16 year old and it had all the errors of a 6 year old too. No one said anything about it though which is always good.

After that wonderful class, I had Physics and a free hour which actually turned out to not be so free at all XD. Basically, I accidently skipped class since I figured that because my french teacher wasn’t there earlier, he wouldn’t be there for the last hour and I didn’t bother to check XD. I saw him after school and we talked about it so I’m not in trouble or anything and I didn’t really miss anything either, but I still feel bad for unknowingly skipping. At least now I know to check cause most of my teachers aren’t as chill as my french teacher. Also I forgot to mention this before, but hes a really good pianist and now I know that hes totally the kind of teacher to randomly play the piano in class. 

And to make a already wonderful day better, I ended up missing the bus and having to walk home from the town over cause they moved the bus stop to the train station again and I just had to stop and debate on whether or not I should get a waffle from the place I’ve been wanting to try. But the best part of this whole fiasco was when I saw the bus pass me when I was almost at my stop. I literally spent a few minutes debating on whether or not I should wait to see if the bus miraculously showed up before I got on the different bus and after I got to the town over (the one I got stranded in earlier) and if I had just waited I wouldn’t have had to walk the 25 minutes.

But Saturday made up for it cause we went to this amusement park  that was pretty fun.The only issue was that it made me feel really conflicted cause they had animals there as apart of the attraction and the enclosures were quite small. But other than that, It was a good day. You could tell that the park was more aimed at kids though and everything was so expensive. Like all the vending machines wanted like 2.60 euros for a can of soda and I ended up getting a 5 euro waffle that wasn’t nearly as good as the around 2 euro waffles I can get at Australian? 

Also, my host sister broke my earbuds on the way home, but I have a spare so it’s all good.

See you on Sunday or Monday,

Raychel

(P.S. On Friday I also lost a game of super intense Uno, so I had to go up to this guy in my science class and kiss him on the cheek as my dare XD)

Iris, again with you <3

Well, it’s a twist indeed but a very good one <3! How do you thought about this? And Rutger’s age is from FE6 or he’s more younger? Now, let’s see if I can make Iris like Kamui when Mikoto hugs him/her… XD

I wanted to take my two horses to travel so we would have been able to bring my equipment and everything we were going to buy in Bulgar but then, now that I’m out of the ger, a boy with long hairs hugs me. I’m not surprised for this move and I don’t hear Lyn very well. My eyes opened wide when he called me.-Aunt?!? A-U-N-T… He just called me aunt… Even if I’m not the sister of Mark or Lyn… And Lyn said he comes from the future… and that he’s their son. And-he-called-me-aunt…- my arms are unable to move at the moment and on my face appear an almost stupid smile while I lower my gaze on him. “Mmmh… I… I think… y-you made a… a little error… b-b-boy… I-I’m not a-a… s-sister of M-M-Mark o-or… L-L-Lyn… s-so why do y-you… c-c-called me… aunt…?” I’m not exactly sure I want to know this but… it can’t be helped… Why AUNT?!?

“Rutger, I think you may be confusing her, this is the first time she’s met you.” Mark told his son after seeing Iris’ reaction to his words and hug.

“Oh, yeah, I totally forgot about that.” Rutger said taking a step back and rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment. “I guess I was just really excited to see her again. Maybe I should explain myself. In the future you and my parents are so close of friends that you’re like a sister to them, so I grew up calling you Aunt Iris. Or well I will grow up calling you that, I’m not born yet am I? The time travel staff is a bit inaccurate.”

“No, you’re still not born to us yet.” Lyn answered. “Is that a good enough explanation for you Iris?”

(Well, I already play Rutger on one of my other blogs and he travels to meet his parents all the time, so I though he could meet Iris. Most of the time he comes right before FE6 starts, so he’s 18 and his Mark and Lyn are still alive.)
