Hypmic OC Halloween Party 2023 🎃 ~Part I

Once the night of 31rd October has already come to the town, who knows? Something extra supernatural is bound to happen!

Disclaimer: Please note that these are not the actual titles to the songs, I just made them up of course. All these songs obviously belong to their respective artists,

And the OCs mentioned belong to their respective creators as well!

To be honest, at first I attempted to make the cast match with their headcanon VCs but considered giving it up at some point because if I did that, some names would be brought up too often *side-glancing at Yuuya, Saigo, and Yorii* 

Surprisingly, almost every song happens to have their own English subtitles available, so open them up if you’d like to know something. I’ll leave more details in your imagination then (¬‿¬)

If you feel tempted to do the fanarts, please feel free to do it XD

So, now. Isn’t it time to let the Feast begins?

3, 

[All lights in the stadium suddenly flickered on and off uncontrollably]

2, 

[One by one, every light in the stadium has eventually been turned off]

1, 

[Now, everything around was soon engulfed in the complete darkness]

🎃 Behind the scenes Pt.1

Even though there are other divisions and some participants which may not be mentioned above, they’re all invited and have their own parts in this event as well. For examples;

Himari Asami, Hiroshi Sakura, and Suzuran Minazuki (who was on the request of her non-blood-related cousin) were in charge of designing and making costumes with the assistance of three fashion interns; Aimi Miyazaki, Alice Shiroka, and Umi Kobayashi.

Akira Arai, Natsume Kurome, Kururi Yamamura and Queen Card’s team were noted to took part in making props. By the way, Kureha Koizumi was anticipated to participate in this as well but she unexpectedly showed up in the opening show —much to everyone’s surprise.

Reiaki Suzubayashi and Emiko Akaibara showed to work together on helping the cast prepare themselves before entering the stage.

Chiyuri Seiguni was tasked to be the main operator of most special effects on stage via the brief from the real technician, Raiden Otoha since this one had to take his part in the 7th show.

Aiko Mayeda was the D.J. and he got the party started! The 86 band and other musical units associated with other division members were also joined in to provide music for some songs.

Most choreography throughout the shows were designed and coached by Yeong Hajoon, Haruto Morikawa, and Kaede Iwasawa.

The representative of Snowflake Sentinel News, Yoichi Shujo; and the head of a certain publishing-house, Nellie Yukimura were assigned to deliver the details of this event. Please expect more live reports and some tidbits behind the scenes from them.

The foods and drinks in this event were all supplied by the alliance between Luis Kōkyū, Rashaad Young, Harumatsuya shop, and Rikiya farm.

The main sponsors of the previous event are Sigma Inc., Toi Pharmaceutical, and E.L. Medical Co. Therefore, this time it’s the turn of Wonder⇓anD Sound Systems, Arakawa Tech Industries, and the concert venue was organized by the entertainment agency “Kairiku Production” with the cooperation of Queen Card’s league. 

For some reason, a certain division was banned from participating —to be specific, it’s Ginza Division. However, Eiji Noguchi and his family were secretly invited because his children wanted to come.

At first Fusao Ise and Queen card were honored to be the MCs (or the hosts) of this event but because the latter had to ‘prepare’ for her own part in the 11th show, Reika Aichi was surprisingly nominated to take over this role once again alongside Fusao.

At the beginning, all the cast were seen wearing some kind of masquerade mask before their first show started.

Though not every division was present in the 3rd show, there were flags with symbols of each team ever participated in the D.R.B. showing on stage.

For whatever reason, Aranai Norikoru was the one who delivered the line “Toki wo (Shout)!” before the chorus “Kakumei wa matte (The revolution has succeeded)!” was sung by all divisions. Well, someone in the cast seemed visibly displeased with how this turned out.

Despite the 6th show being performed by Yuuya Kanata and Yorii Sakuma, the one who advised them on the lyrics was their senior musician, Ren Nakashima, and the music provider for this show was none other than the 86 Band

Before two boys of the 6th show left the stage, the camera caught both Yuuya and Yorii high-fiving Ren who was up for the next show…

🍀 Happy St. Patrick's Day to Kawasaki Division!

Here is a question for the three men of the DayBreakers:

Kosuke, Natsuki, and Haruto:

On this day of celebration (which gives you an excuse to get drunk), what is your go-to alcoholic beverage, why do you enjoy it, and how much do you need to consume before you get completely drunk?

"Ok let;s get this out of the way first. . . none of us are actually of the legal age to drink. Barring New Years of course, sti-"

"BUT WHO CAREs ABOUT THAT?! KOSUKE! START US UP!" Haruto said enthusiastically, shaking his brother's shoulders back and forth.

"Ahhh. . . I don't drink?" Kosuke tried to answer. Both Natsuki and Haruto just looked at him with identical clueless looks on their faces.

"H-how? Why was that a question?"

"Haruto's right, you either do or don't right? It's not a question that requires an abstract answer." Both twins tried to point out the broken logic that was Kosuke's answer, to which the younger man nodded to.

"Well. I suppose I like mimosas? I mean, I've only had a few alcoholic drinks in my life outside of amazake, and I don't think those count?"

"Well then you drink!" Natsuki answered for him. Arms in the air.

"Ok then, ummm for me, I like fruit flavored and sweeter drinks, but I'm not even sure I can taste alcohol. . . You know what? Why don't the two of you share first?" Kosuke gestured to the two

"Fine. The only things I drink at parties I'm dragged to are cheap potato soju, or just your average sake. I'm not picky on my brands and I'm pretty sure I get drunk after like, five cups, which I'm pretty sure makes me a lightweight." Haruto laughed.

"Scaredy cat."

"I am not." Natsuki said trying to defend himself.

"You don't like trying new alcoholic drinks?" Natsuki nodded before pointing his brother.

"That's his job. . . maybe."

"Haha! Nope! Beer! I can take two cans before I get tipsy!"

"Oh great, we're all lightweights." Kosuke nodded, knowing that it was his turn again.

"Well, at least we're doing so safely. I hope. But for me, I don't know my limit. The most I've had at one time is a single glass."

"Oh yeah, what was that about not tasting alcohol?" Haruto asked, tilting his head like a curios child.

"There was one time where some upperclassmen brought us drinks and a bunch of the others said that there tasted like there was a lot of alcohol in it. I liked it though, and I think it's because I couldn't smell the alcohol."

"Hmmmm, well a large component of taste is smell, so that might play a role?"

"Probably? I've never been drunk before though, so yeah."

"Oh! Natsuki got super clingy when he got drunk once! Hold up, i think I have a vi-"

A smack resounded in the air.

Nikki's Thoughts on Kawasaki Division

Kosuke Furuhata

"I can't say we've met before, but I do think we've seen each other in passing. Really, I only know him cause of Keiko. Still, coming from someone who likes art, he seems alright. I'm not exactly into oils and stuff, but still they have their place in art, just like all things do."

Natsuki Morikawa

"Is it weird to say I see a lot of myself in this guy? Like me, he seems to be aloof to everything around him, which isn't a bad thing. But he doesn't seem like the type of guy who would be participating in a rap group. ...Of course, the same could be said about me."

Haruto Morikawa

"I think he may have been the only one from the group I've met. I seem to recall him being at a video game convention back when I played with a team. Nowadays, he leaves comments on my page whenever I leave reviews on games and such. He reminds me a lot of Criss. But are far too spirited for their own good, but they mean well."

DayBreakers

"Though I don't venture from my room very often, I do know about the goings-on in Akihabara. I know these guys were here before us, so it sucks that they have to leave especially only one division can have one rap group. Still, I have a feeling wherever they end up next, they'll be alright."

[alley-catz-vs-daybreakers]

AC vs DB: FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Don’t look down on me, I’ll show you what I’m made of!

You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll be going all out.

The sky is the limit!  Our time to shine, let’s hit it!  Take it away, take it away, no one dare to make a mistake.  If you do you’ll be sent to your graves.  We won’t back down, we got too much at stake!  Yeah, we’re not just some radicals! Your cries sound maniacal! We’re going on for what is right.  We’ll be keeping on this FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

Now what have we here? A lost nightingale?  You hide behind that glowering mask. So weak and so frail.  Don’t worry birdie, I’ll put you to rest, soon you’ll be swallowed by the jaws of a fraudulent fest.  A night out in Wonderland, I’m afraid you can’t handle, because the jester you’re dealing with is Royal Scandal.  By the orders of our princess, I’ll take you out tonight.  Begin my symphony and marvel at the glorious golden light.

Make no mistake, you can never escape the NightOwl’s fearsome gaze.  Go ahead and struggle ‘cuz I’m not even phased.  Birds fly around with their mating dance, but it’s the stags who actually fight for a chance.  You’re the flamboyant old prick, who’ll never get a mate.  You're at the bottom of the food chain, the end of your reign.  Your pitiful display has given your position.  I’ll send a trail of fear as you try to flee in fright.  It’s no use in the end, against the king of the night!

Yo! Listen up, Killjoy in the house.  Disinfect! Well I’ll never back down.  I’ll watch till you rot, drop dead on the ground.  Sinking in the grotesque of my sound.  I’ll watch as you writhe through white darkness and drown.  You think you know me, you ain’t got a clue!  I’ll paint this town till you’re all black and blue!

Soaring in, EarlyBird, movin’ right on beat.  Listen up kid, try to fix your little diss track.  Pick up the tempo, keep up the pace.  I’ll bring you down, leaving no trace.  Leave you behind, fall straight on your face.  You’ll be runnin’, and trippin’, never back on your feet.  Make your attempts, they’re ever so weak.  Just try again and take this defeat.

The sky is the limit! Our time to shine, let’s hit it! Take it away, take it away, no one dare to make a mistake. If you do you’ll be sent to your graves. We won’t back down, we got too much at stake! Yeah, we’re not just some radicals! Your cries sound maniacal! We’re going on for what is right. We’ll be keeping on this FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

Hey look who it is, everyone’s Valentine! You’re not a prince are you?  But I guess you’re all mine!  Think you intimidate me? With those squeaky meek rhymes?  So sorry sweetheart, but you’re outta time!  Flying out of this battle! Battered, bruised and maimed!  Your timid little riddles put the Dormouse to shame!  Oh, did I go too far~?  Did I break your heart~?  Pink and blood red leak, you’ll be my own work of art!  The claws are out now, better take my advice!  Run along little mousy I’m not here to play nice!

What do you mean to do with that weak little verse? I’m precise with my strikes, I focus on detail.  The only way you’ll knock me down is with a giant metal pail.  Go ahead, try to hit, this is my renaissance.  I don’t feel a single thing from your measly little taunts.  This is Lumière, standing here, shining a light.  You’ve destroyed a work of art, nothing’s left for the fight.  You’re may have once been wondrous.  But now your word vomit is completely superfluous

We’re in this together, go down hand in hand! Dragging you with us, our mischievous band!

Let their souls shrivel, break down piece by piece.  Until they all revel in death’s sweet release.

I’m sick of these mocking birds and their endless chatter!  I’ll serve you right here with your heads on a platter!

We are Alley Catz prowling through moonlit streets! Living up the party with our psychedelic beat!  Our madness will spread through this land like the plague!  No need for your cowardly, washed out parade!

Don’t hesitate now, bring on the fight!  Got no reason for fear, we give all our might!

Beat the scummy little bimbos ’til they kneel at our feet.  None of our business if you struggle in defeat.

Utterly relentless, we’ll never break down!  Continue with these hits, we’ll only break out!

We’re the DayBreakers flying to new heights!  No need for the sun, we make our own light.  No matter what happens, we’ll always stay true!  You’ll be looking up at us forever when we’re through!

The sky is the limit! Our time to shine, let’s hit it! Take it away, take it away, no one dare to make a mistake. If you do you’ll be sent to your graves. We won’t back down, we got too much at stake! Yeah, we’re not just some radicals! Your cries sound maniacal! We’re going on for what is right. We’ll be keeping on this FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

2:00pm

Shibuya Division

TDD Era - Alive

“C’mon Kosu-kun! It’s not that far!”

“You are strangely optimistic about this aren’t you?”

“Yup!”

“Soooo, how exactly am I supposed to be helping again?”

“Bribery!”

“Oh.....Wait what?!” Kosuke pulled his hand away from her grasp in surprise.

“What do you mean bribery?!” Emiko turned to face him and shot an innocent smile, posing cutely as if the situation wasn’t dire at all.

“You know him, so you’re going to convince him to pay me! When he realizes one of his students caught him in the act, he’ll have to give up!” She spun back around and winked. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you don’t get in trouble.” With that, she walked off.

Kosuke’s thoughts began to jumble together as he followed her through numerous alley ways. The man was just a substitute teacher, so this reckless decision shouldn’t get him in any sort trouble. At least any with big consequences. Plus, making deals with the underground and asking sketchy people for help made him a criminal, and he was running out on his friend. That made him the bad guy right?

“Ok! Here we are!” They stopped at a large skyscraper-like building, decorated in a gold and white exterior. Quite different to the vibrantly colorful town of Shibuya.

Earlier, they had hopped on a train headed there because Emiko claimed there she knew someone who could help them find the teacher. She knew this place well enough, though it was a rare case that she’d ever miss a target, meaning she’d have to owe someone right afterwards. Hopefully, he was feeling generous today.

Poor Kosuke on the other hand was nervous. “Are you sure your friend’s in here? This looks like a hotel, I don’t think we should be barging in like this.” He said timidly, pulling his oversized hood over his head. His body jumped a little bit when Emiko held his hand, like her gesture was nothing.

“Don’t worry,” She gave him a soft smile. “I’ll protect you.”

It was surely a fancy establishment: clean beige walls with smooth, marble tiling. Red couches and seat cushions for those waiting, and potted plants full of beautiful flowers sat at each corner. There was quite a lot of commotion going around the lobby. Hushed whispers were exchanged in dark hallways or along the staircase, while some groups haughtily laughed at each other’s banter.

Still holding hands, they weaved through the sea of people until Emiko spotted two men sitting at one of the couches, smoking together. She tugged Kosuke along, and cheerfully approached them as if they were her best friends in the whole world.

“There he is! Hiroshi-sama!!” Kosuke’s nerves sky rocketed as Emiko waved at the duo. She really did know these people, he thought. Trying to make himself inconspicuous he pulled his hood down lower and shoved his hands into his pocket.

One of the men looked up from his cigarette; violet eyes peered from beneath the grey fedora as he shot Emiko a suprisingly friendly smile. He even returned her wave.

“Emiko, long time no see. It’s been awhile.” The blonde man took off his hat in respect as his companion watched wordlessly. He didn’t look like a gangster, in fact, he had a rather clean image to him. He wore a matching grey suit with maroon colored stripes, grey dress pants, black slacks, and an oddly-vibrant aquamarine necktie.

“Heya Hiroshi! Yea it has been awhile, but actually I’m kind of in—”

“You need me to find someone.” This man, Hiroshi, cut her off so casually. Digging his cigarette into an ashtray, he glanced at Kosuke curiously before looking back at Emiko. A cold chill ran through Kosuke’s spine as he turned away.

“Frankly, I feel as though I shouldn’t have to tell you anything.”

“What! What do you mean?” Emiko tried her best to keep her voice down, but she was simply too surprised. Hiroshi was what most would call a gentleman, and the two had always pulled through for the other. She might even consider him a friend, but he had the will to refuse now! She almost felt tears prick her eyes before standing firm.

“What do you mean! You owe me too! Didn’t I help with—” He cut her off again as he was about to grab her by the sleeve. His intentions weren’t harmful, he was merely going to say she see to it that she control herself in this place. However, he smirked as a hand swiftly gripped his arm tightly, tight enough he thought a bruise would form.

“Hey what are you do!—” Hiroshi put up his other hand before his companion could take action, watching as Kosuke held his grip with a dark look on his face.

Emiko stood there speechless. Kosuke Furuhata, the sweetest boy she had ever met, towered over the seated man as he held his arm with a cold glow in his eyes.

“You leave her alone.” He spat. Normally, Kosuke would avoid confrontation if seen as a possibility, but he wasn’t just going to let this pompous scumbag put his hands on her.

“Kosuke wait! Let him go!” Emiko quickly pulled him off, forcing him to let go of Hiroshi. Who only straightened his sleeves, ignoring the red mark forming on his wrist. After everyone calmed down, Hiroshi spoke.

“Neither of you let me finish. It’s rather rude to interrupt someone so kind enough to aid you in your situation, yes?” The two didn’t say anything.

“I was going to say my services are not necessary. He’s over right there.” Hiroshi pointed a finger behind them, it was the teacher. His black balding hair made an obvious point as he held his briefcase close.

“It’s you! Thank you Hiroshi, I’ll see you later!” Emiko shouted before bolting towards him. Kosuke ran out too, leaving the men alone once more.

“Was it really alright to just let them go like that? I’d hardly take you as the merciful type.”

“Relax Jyuto. They’re nothing to worry about. Besides, the lady’s in good hands.”

“It’s not her I’m worried about.” They continued their conversation as lit cigarette after cigarette.

“Heya! Mr. Takanashi right?” The middle aged man turned around, frozen, to see two kids staring him down. One of them he recognized.

“Sorry to bother you sir, but I think you have something that belongs to me.” Emiko smiled sweetly, hoping to persuade him. Unaware of the terrified look he had on his face, not only because he had been caught, but because of the glowering shadow standing behind the little girl.

Yea, he was still pissed.

—————————

“These are so yummy!” Emiko giggled, her voice muffled from filling her mouth. “It tastes just like real pie!”

Kosuke chuckled as he handed her another cookie. “Yea, these are my favorite.” He took another bite of his, keeping a steady hold on the box.

In the aftermath of it all: they convinced Mr. Takanashi to hand over what he owed, in return that Kosuke not tell anyone what happened and the promise that the guy had to keep up his end of the bargain next time he makes a decision like this.

“Hey, do you wanna come to my house? I’m cooking tonight and my mom won’t be back for awhile.” Emiko asked, taking the plastic bag from Kosuke’s hand as they got up from the sidewalk and headed east.

“Really? Is that ok?” He asked.

“Well yea of course. Besides, you’re my friend too silly.” Those words sunk in, and stuck to him. The two smiled brightly as Emiko pulled him by the arm all the way back to the Station.

At a Crossroads: Part 2

Kosuke spends some time at Chuuoku to finalize everything, after, he bumps into someone unexpected.

Kosuke was on the train to Chuuoku, having sent a message days before when they had already come to the conclusion that they would have to move. At the time, he had been sent a list of locations that didn’t have a division, which was what they’d based their list of choices off of. Now that they had decided on where exactly they were moving, Kosuke was going to the main office of the Party of Words to sort things out and make the move of DayBreakers official.

Going to the front desk of the main office Kosuke was casually greeted by the receptionist who told him to wait in the lobby for a little while both the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister finished their business with another person. He silently watched all the workers and officials pasing, with one gaudily dressed man in sunglasses temporarily catching his eye.

Soon after, his name was called and a woman guided him into the elevator, through the halls, and dropped him off in front of Prime Minister Tohoten’s office. Walking inside, we was met with the sight of her and Deputy Prime Minister Kadenokoji.

“Pardon me.”

“Furuhata-san, take a seat.” Kosuke sat down on the luxurious couch that Tohoten had gestured to, albeit very awkwardly. After a moment of silence, the Prime Minister spoke again. 

“This hasn’t happened before, are you sure you wish to go through with this?”

“Yes, we do.” Kosuke replied stiffly and immediately.

“And where have you decided to relocate?”

“Kawasaki.”

“Very well then. Effective immediately, DayBreakers will no longer represent Akihabara, but will instead represent Kawasaki. This will be made public after your move has been finalized and you will be expected to make one or multiple public statements. Is that understood?” Kosuke nodded firmly, feeling the continued pressure of the two womens’ gazes. Kadenokoji then stepped forward and spoke.

“We will go to my office to handle the paperwork.” Once again, Kosuke was led out and into another room, where he signed the papers that made things official. Only his signature was needed, since he was the one initially chosen to participate in the rap battles by the Party of Words. Once he was finished reading and signing the documents he was greeted with a sentence whose malice was well concealed. Had he been anyone else, he might have missed it, but the biting words of Kadenokoji had him stiffen due to the familiarity of the tone.

“You should be able to see yourself out.” Kosuke quickly left both the building and Chuuoku itself, deciding to meander through the streets a little before heading back to the sharehouse.

“Kosu-kun!” Kosuke jerked his head towards the source of the voice, just in time to react to Emiko charging at him and brace himself.

“What are you doing here!” Kosuke realized that he was currently in Minato, somewhere he really didn’t frequent. Unable to make an excuse and knowing that he was a terrible liar anyways, he told her the truth.

“I was coming back from Chuuoku.” Emiko tiled her head in confusion.

“What business did you have there? A date~?” Kosuke gave a nervous laugh, something that Emiko picked up on as she released him from her hold and took a step back.

“No. Um, I was finalizing the move for our division.”

“Move?” Emiko stepped back and tilted her head in confusion. “Oh are you guys moving? Are you getting an apartment or something!! ~ ☆ I can help! I’m super strong see! ~ ☆” She grinned as she flexed her thin squishy noodle arms. The pose made her look a bit silly, her pink puffy skirt and frilly appearance definitely counteracted. She did wonder why he had to take it up with Chuuoku; maybe those ladies needed a new address? It made sense seeing how they would need to fill in any papers sent by the Party for the Division Battles. 

“Oh! There’s no need! Kawasaki is way too far for that!” Kosuke exclaimed in a frenzy “Though of course the sentiment is appreciated!” He clarified, not wanting to sound ungrateful.

“Kawasaki?….. You’re moving..to Kawasaki?” Emiko put her hands down and stopped her silly charade, looking up at Kosuke in slight shock. “You’re moving all the way to Kawasaki!!!” She cried. Before the literal tears pricked her eyes as she quickly embraced him once more. “But what about the Division Battle? I don’t want you to leeaaave!!”

Kosuke frantically tried to calm his friend down, as they were still in the middle of the street, and honestly, it wasn't a good look for the two of them. 

"Nonononono! W-we're not leaving! I mean! That's why I was at Chuuoku! It was for paperwork!" (edited) Emiko, still holding onto Kosuke, looked up at him with watery eyes as she cried. “Y-you’re not leaving?” She sniffled. She felt like she was going to have a heart attack from worry.

"N-no. . . .? We-. . . we're just moving. . . Rent is too much since things are going to get busier for me and Natsuki. . ." Kosuke assured her, his own panic beginning to subside.

“Y-you’re not?…..” She sniffed. “Waaaaaaaaahh! Thank you! I thought you were gonna leave forever and I’d never be able to see you again!” She cried into his chest once more as she clung to him like a child. 

Kosuke just stood there helplessly as he let Emiko’s crying pass. When the dust (tears) settled, he finally managed to pry Emiko out of his arms and talk to her face to face.

“Emiko, we've known each other for years, I would never do something that makes us never meet again. It’s just that we won’t be financially stable enough to continue to represent Akihabara.” Emiko gave another sniff and nodded with a mock glare as she pointed into his chest.

“You’d better come visit often.” Kosuke smiled at the pouty tone of her voice and ruffled her head.

“Of course I will. Take care.”

“Back at you.”

That afternoon, Kosuke returned to their sharehouse with a lighter conscience than he did before and began sifting through their options in Kawasaki once more.

Criss's Thoughts on Kawasaki Division

Kosuke Furuhata

"I don't know him well, but Keiko tells me that she takes art classes with her. He seems like a really cool guy! Shame he doesn't like my videos, but I know they aren't for everyone. But maybe I can get him to paint some backdrops for me. They'd really add a cool effect to my vids!"

Natsuki Morikawa

"I'm a bit surprised that this guy is actually a fan of my videos. He seems like the kind of guy who would disprove the theory of ghosts or aliens. But I'm not complaining! Anyone who takes time to like and subscribe to my videos is okay with me! Plus, I heard that he's training to be a vet, which will help cause now I know who to go to whenever Leraje gets sick!"

Haruto Morikawa

"I remember this guy! I almost always saw him somewhere in Akihabara, breakdancing in front of crowds and such. He was pretty friendly too! A shame he's scared of ghosts, though. I thought a friendly guy like him would be all for my videos. ...Oh well! He's still a cool guy, though!"

DayBreakers

"I'm really gonna miss these guys around Akihabara. They added a bit of flair to the place that you don't normally see in other divisions. I hope we get a chance to see them again. ...Though I'd prefer it be somewhere else besides the D.R.B."

[akihabaradivision]

Keiko's Thoughts on Kawasaki Division

Kosuke Furuhata

"Though I don't know him personally, I've heard a lot about Kosuke-san. He and I both attend a few art classes together, though he takes a lot more than I do since I'm more focused on my science and math classes. From the times we have talked, I can tell that Kosuke-san is a very gifted person. I look forward to seeing more of his pieces when he makes them."

Natsuki Morikawa

"Like Kosuke-san, I don't know Natsuki-san very well, though I do believe we have one science class together. He seems to be the most mature and detached member of the DayBreakers. He always seems to keep to himself, which reminds me of Nikki a bit. Despite his attitude and persona, I've heard that he's training to be a veterinarian, which is a very good profession, in my opinion."

Haruto Morikawa

"Natsuki-san's younger sibling, I believe. He's the only one from the group that I've never really met, which isn't really surprising since he doesn't attend university. I've heard he makes a living breakdancing. I don't know if I'd call that a profession; it seems more like a hobby to me. But besides that, he seems to be a sociable and happy-go-lucky individual."

DayBreakers

"I heard that they used to represent Akihabara before we came along. For what it's worth, I apologize that they had to move because of us. For some reason, the Deputy Prime Minister told me to keep an eye on them. Why, I don't know. I don't relish facing them in the D.R.B., but if we do, I hope there are no hard feelings."

DayBreakers Opinions on Otaku Corps

*Otaku Corps and all of its members belongs to @akihabaradivision​

--------------------

Kosuke:

Keiko Yumi

I’ve seen Yumi-sensei’s manga quite a few times before, and I think she is an incredible artist. She’s also very charismatic, so I think she will be a good and confident leader for her division.

Criss Hiromi

Hiromi-san’s YouTube is very popular, so there are times when they pop up for me when I put on videos for background noise. Though I must apologize to Hiromi-san because after the first time, I got scared and have been skipping them ever since. . . You are far braver than I am.

Nikki Yoshie

 Oh, I’ve seen her games on television before! I believe Ichiro introduced me to her a while back when we were at his place. Personally, I feel a sort of sense of empathy with her, considering the oppositions we’ve faced to get to where we are.

Otaku Corps

. . . I would be lying if I said I wasn’t envious. They are all very successful young ladies, and I think that that’s incredible, and I admire them. Of course there are times where I look at myself and wonder how much longer I have to work for my own break. As a division though, I believe they will represent Akihabara better than we could have, and I look forward to having the chance to face off with them.

Natuski:

Keiko Yumi

I can’t say I know too much about her, I know she’s quite popular, but I also heard she got into university on a scholarship. That’s pretty impressive especially in the Tokyo area, so I think the amount of hard work that must’ve gone into achieving such a thing is admirable.

Criss Hiromi

I follow her. I like getting creeped out sometimes, staying awake at night just means more time to study, and we have tons of coffee. Plus she has a pet mouse, and anyone who takes good care of their pets can’t be too bad I guess.

Nikki Yoshie

Haruto watches her a lot. I’ve seen news reports and stuff, but I’m not at all familiar with the gaming world so I don’t know much about her. When we lived in Akihabara, I saw her on promos and heard her name all the time though.

Otaku Corps

Well they certainly represent the area far better than we do, so that’s good. Call me judgemental or whatever, but I also don’t get why an entire group of successful people would come together for something like this, but oh well, it’s not my place to wonder.

Haruto:

Keiko Yumi

Oh yeah! Lots of my buddies read her manga! I think the setting and characters are super cool too! I don’t own any of the volumes, though I should probably buy some. Y’know, to show my support! Yumi-chan does a lotta things I heard, and I wanna be able to match that kind of lifestyle one day. Doing as much of whatever you want as possible!

Criss Hiromi

Natsu likes to scare me with her videos. . . The dude KNOWS I get creeped out by ghost stories and he STILL shows them to me! But for Hiromi-chan, I like her sense of adventure. Maybe what she does creeps me out, but her attitude certainly doesn’t!

Nikki Yoshie

OH MY GOD! I have been following Toshie-san’s career for EVER! I’ve watched her since her national debut and she’s so COOL! I was really upset when she got thrown under the bus that one time, but I remain a loyal fan!

Otaku Corps

All of them are really cool, and I know that they’ll take good care of Akihabara! Sure I’ll miss the place, but that’s not as important. We’ve got new opponents, and I look forward to facing them eventually!

[kawasaki-division]

😊 In honor of Valentine's Day, here is a question for mysterious Akihabara team, the Daybreakers:

To Kosuke, Natsuki, & Haruto:

If you were to choose any OC from any of the OC Divisions to spend Valentine's Day with for a day of fun and enjoyment, who would you pick, and why?

Kosuke rubbed his chin thoughtfully, mulling over the question. 

“Well- I would prefer to spend it with some close friends, so naturally I would spend some time with Emiko. We already hang out a lot so I think it would be nice. . . As long as we avoid what happened on April Fool’s last year. . .” Trailing off, he cleared throat nervously before Haruto spoke up, remembering the incident.

"Oh yeah! I remember that!”

“A red flag for how insane we are really.”

"Hmmmm. . . Though I’ve gotta say, I’m sure a lot of people would think you guys were dating.” Haruto’s comment was one that instantly flustered Kosuke, who started to frantically explain things.

“He-hey! That’s not it! We’re close friends is all! Yumeno-sensei’s actions have nothing to do with our relationship!” 

Natsuki gave a snort.

"You let yourself be set up. This is the price you pay.”

"HA! Then what about you Natsu? Gotta special someone you wanna spend Valentine’s with?” Haruto laughed before turning the tables on his older brother.

"I don’t think anyone would be brave enough to give him romantic chocolates for Valentines. Us and classmate maybe, but a lover?” Based on his response, Haruto agreed with the statement.

“Oof yeah. . . Sucks for you bro, considering how much sugar you put in your coffee every day.” 

Narrowing his eyes, Natsuki chose to ignore the comments thrown his way before trying to avoid the question in some way.

"I do not have a lover. Valentine’s Day is a day for couples to be happy and for relationships to start. I am neither in one, or looking for a relationship”

“C’mon! Don’t ruin a lovely holiday! Heh, see what I did? We love each other, right? Is not just romance!” Haruto was far to invested in the conversation to walk away empty handed. It would only be so long before Natsuki broke, that he knew.

"Valentines is a celebration for couples, and a normal day for everyone else, I am everyone else.

.

.

.

Miyuki-san from the Saitama division. If I had to choose. I had a phase where I was slightly interested in forensic science, and I’d like to see the similarities with my own area of study. Happy?”

Kosuke smiled. 

“Very.”

Haruto raised his hand enthusiastically, knowing that he was the only one who hadn’t answered the question 

“Oh, oh, oh! I’d like to hang out with Kanade-san from Kyoto! She’s got really cool moves and I’d love to learn some from her!”

“I’d say that your enthusiasm and love for your job is impressive, but it’s you so it’s not surprising.”

"Well, none of us have dates so we might as well use the day to work right?” Kosuke gave an indifferent shrug as he voiced his opinion. Haruto nodded vigorously, paired with Natsuki’s less intense one.

"Agreed, and we’ve already wasted enough time on this question, I’ve got my shift in half an hour and I do NOT look forward to the number of people adopting today.” Of course, he didn’t want to admit how he would also find it endearing when couples found an animal they truly loved. Truly, all kinds of love were in the air.

At a Crossroads: Part 1

The members of Daybreakers must now make a difficult decision as a new school year approaches.

——————————

.

.

.

The silence was deafening in the room as the clock on the wall showed that another minute had passed without anyone saying a word.

“To be fair. 657300¥ a month is a lot to pay. The 420,000¥ range is far better. Staying would be an option if only we weren’t getting busier.” Indeed, the members of DayBreakers were moving out of Akihabara. 

“Yeah, when we pay our share, we usually have enough for healthy meals, but with you going into your second year and me into my fourth, I’ll have to pull back hours from work to study. It’ll cut my salary by about 100000¥.” Akihabara wasn’t the cheapest place to live in, but it was in a good place between Ueno, Bunkyo, and Asakusa, only 1-4 minutes away from each. Now, their only options, which were cheaper, were up to 15-30 minutes away.

“. . . What about the Division Rap Battles? Is DayBreakers going to end just because of rent?” Haruto’s voice was unusually quiet and unsure as he asked the question.

“NO.” Kosuke and Natsuki firmly said at the same time.

“Though it’s true that the rap battles do make things harder for us, I don’t think there’s a need to leave.”

“We’re choosing a place without a division. We’ll represent them in the next DRB.” Natsuki said firmly. Kosuke nodded in agreement, opening the folder on the dinner table, revealing a pile of papers of share house listings in a selection of wards and cities.

“What about Meguro? That’s a residential area. There’s also Setagaya, Edogawa, Sumida, Itabashi, Kita and Kawasaki.” Kosuke asked, gesturing to each pile of papers as he listed each area.

“Meguro’s kinda dull ain’t it same with Kita and Itabashi. At least Kawasaki and Setagaya are more interesting!”

“What about Edogawa and Sumida?” Natsuki asked as he pointed at the two small piles of paper.

“Sumida can’t be much cheaper or peaceful with the Skytree and all.” Kosuke reasoned.

“So that leaves Setagaya and Kawasaki.” Haruto said, removing all the papers they didn’t need and putting them back into the folder. It left about nine decent options left, all meeting the requirements each member had.

Kosuke wanted a large room to store his supplies in, Natsuki wanted a quieter place that wasn’t too far from his workplace in Minato, and Haruto wanted somewhere close to a park.

“Kawasaki is closer to Yokohama and farther from Harajuku though. . .” Natsuki observed.

“Are those things we should consider?” Both Kosuke and Haruto were startled by the older twin’s consideration of such a thing.

“Well like we said, we’re not leaving the rap scene. Yokohama is really tied to Ikebukuro, so if we decrease our chances of having rap conflicts, then we'll be better off. Speaking of which, how do we handle the fans? Lots of them only support us because we’re local, the news is gonna eat us alive. And the two of you are going to have it the hardest.” Natsuki was right, Haruto could suffer a loss or increase in bookings, and the same could be said with Kosuke’s commissions. But it was either risk physical and mental health, or a decrease in salary while living in a cheaper place. The answer was pretty obvious.

“Alright then, we can talk about this more tomorrow when we choose where we’ll go, but I think we should take some time to deal with this.” No one wanted to move away, they’d made friends with neighbors and Akihabara had truly felt like home. Moving away out of necessity wasn’t something that would ever be a welcome event.

Kosuke took the folder with the other share houses that were no longer being considered, and the three left the pile of those in Kawasaki on the dining table for anyone to look over when they wanted to. He then left to go to his room to finish some commissions, debating whether or not to tell the former members of the TDD in the meantime.

Natsuki got a snack before he got ready to change and leave for work at the pet shop in another hour. Haruto just went to his room, not having anything to do until later that night and just wanting to calm himself down. Natsuki was right, out of all of them, Haruto and Kosuke were all too aware of what the media would do to them and how while some would be alright with the move and sympathetic, but most would be betrayed and angry.

The next day, Kosuke, Natsuki, and Haruto didn’t speak about the move at all, instead, they spent their day with their friends outside of the division.

——————————

Some people who I’ve interacted with who I think should be aware of this change: @kyoto-division @uenodivision @hypster-weebster @akihabaradivision  @thou-shalt-not-staple-rats @phantom-dimitrin

To everybody else: Feel free to message the members of DayBreaker’s as they continue on with their journey! This is a huge change, so an advanced thank you to those who interact with the members of DayBreakers

[kawasaki-division]

Together

The first trip to the temple during the new year brings both the familiar and the unknown in one place, as the members of DayBreakers continue to look ahead.

“C’mon you two! Rise and shine! It’s time to go to the shrine!” Haruto chuckled at his own words as he knocked. Kosuke stirred in his bed, not too startled by the loud awakening having temporarily forgotten that the Morikawa twins had been at their parents’ place until early in the morning. Checking his phone, Kosuke saw that it was about a quarter past eight and decided that he might as well get up.

Natsuki was pretty grumpy looking as he fixed himself some coffee which had a lot more sugar in it than what would make it qualify as coffee. The older twin looked at Kosuke and only said one sentence.

“We need to buy more sugar packets.” Considering that he probably had less than seven hours of sleep. . . it was pretty reasonable. Kosuke gave a small laugh as he himself got a glass of milk to drink.

“We can stop by the store on our way back.”

“We’d better.” 

Kosuke made sure to wear a scarf when going out in cold weather, but in all honesty, winter was probably his favorite season. It was fun to see his breath in the air, and it was fun to watch the snowfall during the nighttime. It always looked as if the stars were falling from the sky. It birthed inspiration and peace, along with happiness and excitement. It was a time for celebration, even if he’d been celebrating alone for the past few years. He had still sent his parents postcards, but he wasn’t really expecting one back.

“C’mon, it’s going to be so crowded!”

“We’re already going up a mountain, why do we need to run up it and risk cracking our heads open?”

“Then hold onto the railing you scaredy cat! I wanna pray quickly, buy our omamori and get our fortunes!”

“Well, at least we’re not going to a major temple, or else we’d be trampled by now.” Natsuki hummed in agreement as he and Kosuke trudged up the stone stairs, almost losing sight of Haruto on multiple occasions.

“What are you going to wish for this year? You’re going to start your fourth year sooner or later.” Natsuki gave a scoff.

“Of course I’m going to wish for something like that. It's not like I’m superstitious about it but it’s tradition, and it's the only thing that makes sense to wish for. You’re going to wish for luck in school too, and Haru’s going to want to win the next DRB.” Kosuke blinked and raised a brow, which Natsuki made a face at.

“I’m only calling him that because he’s out of earshot and I trust that you won’t babble to him.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t” Haruto eventually jogged down the stairs to meet back up, and when they got to the shrine, they were lucky to find that it wasn’t too crowded. They gave their old omamori to the temple for them to burn and made their wishes, Hotaru finished first and ran off to buy new omamori and get his fortune. Looking at the nearby trees, there weren’t many omikuji being hung up.

Looks like a lot of people are having good luck this year. 

He ended up wishing for success with his family, wishing for them to somehow attain a better relationship during the year, and he bought an omamori for education to compensate for his wish. Haruto bought an omamori for victory, while Natsuki for one for the safety of family.

When they got to their fortunes, he was glad to hear that Haruto and Natsuki got pretty good fortunes in the places they cared about. When Kosuke opened his, he was happy with a few of them, but he would admit it wasn't the best.

Middle blessing for auspicious directions, curse for his wish, a great blessing for his studies, a curse for disputes, and future small blessing for illness to name a few. Haruto peeked over his shoulder to take a look and gave his sympathies.

“Maan, you gonna hang that up?” Kosuke pondered for a moment.

“No, I don’t think I will.”

“Why not?” Haruto asked curiously as he compared their fortunes to each other.

“Just because.” Kosuke had figured that he’d had good fortunes in bad years, and dull fortunes in very good ones, so by now, he’d figured that all he should do was work hard. A slip of paper would only determine what happened if he let it after all. Besides, he had two wonderful roommates, teammates, and most importantly, friends, to help him through another year. Sure they’d been through some hard times, and gone through losses together, but that was just it. They were in it together.

Kosuke: Detailed History and Extra Facts

A detailed record of Kosuke Furuhata, and what has led him to where he is today

5 years old: 

Diagnosed with asthma: He had his first attack during the winter, so he had to go to the hospital. His condition got better later in life, but he has to keep an inhaler just in case since the rap battles get very intense.

6 years old: 

Starts getting academic pressure from parents: Since he wasn’t allowed to do any extreme physical activities at the time

Starts violin and piano: Again, for academic and health purposes, Kosuke at the time really couldn;t say no, though it’s more so that his parent just signed him up for the lessons one day

10 years old:

Starts going to cram school: he goes to cram school on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. This gives him time to just walk around a bit on the streets afterwards.

His asthma slowly starts to get better

12 years old: 

Starts wanting to pursue art and asks parents, he gets rejected: Its about around this time that he started to go around and look at paintings and sculptures around the area. He would go to libraries and read about the creators, or just look online. Of course, he was shot down when he brought the topic up with his parents.

15 years old:

Meets Yamada Ichiro as his tutor, they become friends: Ichiro is not the best student, he also doesn’t have the money or time to go to cram school. Kosuke tutors him on Tuesdays and Fridays, and they start hanging around after school, which bleeds into the weekend

16 years old: 

Moves to his own apartment away from his parents

Starts to secretly take steps to getting into Gedai: He gets himself a part time job and saves up money to go to a different cram school over the weekend 

Stops taking instrumental lessons

17 years old:

Beginning of H Act

Receives his mic as a gift from Ichiro: Because the mics are the only legal weapon, he and Ichiro help him get one, just to be safe

Meets Kuko and they also become close: When Kosuke starts learning how to rap, Ichiro introduces the two to each other. Kosuke never gets involved with the Stairway to Heaven thing though

Gets involved with more rap battles

Becomes part of the TDD: After Kuko and Sasara left, Kosuke was initially called to be backup and showed off his skills. He was initially apprehensive of joining as he felt like he was replacing the other two, but he eventually felt like part of the group.

The TDD breaks up: What happens happens, only this time, Kosuke simply couldn’t be there to help. His parents somehow found out about his rapping and art studies, so he got the chew out of a lifetime. And his supplies were trashed along with complete radio silence from his family afterwards.

Loses contact with Kuko: After a bit of calling man messaging, Kosuke relents and believes that Kuko wants nothing to do with him either

Takes/ passes Gedai exam: Seriously, Kosuke passes out a few times afterwards, he’s been stressing over the results ever since the exam finished, he also hasn’t been taking care of himself (well, less than usual)

18 years old

Goes to study at Gedai: Great deal of pressure on himself, by himself, enough said

Maintains friendship with TDD: He and Ichiro have no reason to be on bad terms, he is a bit apprehensive around Samatoki though. He chats with Ramuda and Jakurai semi-frequently too.

Starts looking for a sharehouse because his apartment is far from Ueno

19 year old:

Moves in with Natsuki and Haruto

Receives mics from Chou-ku

Other facts:

At the DRBs, he has an inhaler incase of a an attack

Does oil painting and so half of his room is extremely neat, the other half…

Did Ichiro get him hooked on manga? Yes, yes he did

He… doesn’t really have friends at school either

Rapping usually only leads to discomfort for a day or two afterwards
