#kouji ito

[danganronpasurvivoraskblog]

Hey, Makoto, did the freedom foundation ever tell you about the other participants other than just name and talent wise..? I’m curious. There might be some old files somewhere which involved some lore of them now that you know their names and all.

...

*sigh* He's not gonna respond to you dude.

I'll answer though. Aside from the 6 of us, there was Ash Sivale, August Clarke, Caeser, Chet Perez, Kami Kanako, Kokona Tamashiro, Marie Filliet, Ricardio Montague, Tamako Fujiwara and Victoria Hester.

If you need us to document the event and serve as eyewitnesses and accountants to what happened, we'll gladly do so. Any of those names sound familiar though?

A few, yes...

August Clarke was a rather famous young American model before he went missing, and same goes for the lawyer Kami Kanako. Maya's already told me about Caeser, Marie Filliet and Kokona Tamashiro, and...

I believe there was a confidential government file on Victoria Hester. Mainly that she's an important name in the event of Operation Bluebird.

For what it's worth, Victoria told us about that operation too. She expressed nothing but shame and regret for it.

It's not my place to judge the actions of one who's already dead...But I extend to you my sympathies.

Rewatching prrl. I cannot overstate how much ito and kouji do not have chemistry maybe i'm just autistic but before episode 26 i could not sense a single hint of romance blooming between them. like. the only sign i could find of kouji liking ito was like. trying to stop hiro from using her song? But the thing is this really isn't a romantic gesture when in the first few episodes kouji goes I don't want this random girl to get hurt from singing one of my songs. and ito (easily flustered) blushing around kouji sort of just. feels weird.

[blee-bleep]

if only prrl didnt force the girls to those twinks so much, *they* mightve been canon

[curejiraiya]

ok but

do you think they explored each others bodies

[hothotmiso]

[pusangkambing]

u heard it here first folks, theyre dating

[fabnaza]

Ok but like why are the implied romances in Rainbow Live 100% more interesting than the canon couple lmao

[meltorights]

So, actually have just one last thing. One last piece of unfinished business from my trip to Japan to post.

I'll link the post since it's been buried by now, but as most of you know I got to attend the Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live 10th Anniversary exhibition while I was visiting Japan in March 2024.

Everyone attending the event got this sealed envelope which reads, "♪ ♡To the New Manager♡♪" on the front.

What's inside?

Let's see...

To the New Junior High Student Manager of Prism Stone,

2.) Make sure to find someone who is good at make-up like Ito-chan! ♡

Thank you for becoming Prism Stone's new manager!

My name is Naru Ayase and I've been the manager up until now!☆

I decorated the store with photos of us to serve as a happy-naru parting memory! ♡

Please have fun! Now, to make sure you become happy-naru as the new manager, I have seven pieces of advice for you! 😆

1.) Make sure you find someone who is good at making sweets, like Ann-chan!

3.) Make sure you make friends with a beautiful girl who can play the violin just like Bell-chan! ✨

4.) Make sure you make friends with a cat-like little demon just like Wakana-chan who can read cute fortunes!

5.) Make sure you make friends with a kind girl who can brew good tea and seems like she's from a fairytale just like Otoha-chan!

6.) Meet a prism messenger like Rinne-chan! Oh, don't tell anyone Rinne-chan is a prism messenger, OK? >3<

7.) If you every run into any trouble, just say to yourself "Nantoka narunaru!" (It will all work out somehow!)

10.) Find an amusing super idol person friend like Hiro-san! ☆

8.) Find a friend just like Kouji-kun who can write songs!

(Oh, and don't tell anyone he's Ito-chan's boyfriend either ;D)

9.) Find a friend just like Kazuki-san who is good at dance and FREEDOM!

(Next Page)

11.) Never tell anyone the secret that Chisato-san's really Momo-san and she came from the Prism World! Never ever!

12.) But if you do ever mess up, D.J. Coo-san will figure something out, so no worries!!! 🍀 😌

AHH!!! 💦

Oh nooooo! That was way more than sevenn!!

Oh dear.. 💦💦

Oh well ♪

I think by the time you are working here, I'll already be the manager at Dear Crown across the way! So I'll be leaving everything to you!

Happy Rain♪ will keep on performing at Prism Stone so don't worry about that!

Bell, Wakana, and Otoha from Bell Rose will help out too!

Well then, do your best! ♡

But if you ever need anything I'd be glad to help, so just let me know!

I'll be stopping by!

Nantoka narunaru!!!

From Naru Ayase!

The prism radiance will always be with you!

♡ Happy Naru ♡

Medical help for Makoto? How would this work? Use those shock machines? I don't know the name of it, sorry.

It's the "defibrillator" and NO, that would do the OPPOSITE of helping!

Defibrillators apply an electric charge or current to the heart to restore a normal heartbeat if it starts beating too slowly or goes into cardiac arrest. If used out of the proper context, they can be potentially lethal!

And Makoto's heart isn't the problem here! It's his soul and mind more than anything else...

New art to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live. A collab cafe will be held on April 18.

Best Underrated Anime Group B Round 1: #B8 vs #B1

#B8: Middle school idol drama

Eighth-grader Ayase Naru becomes the manager of local fashion store Prism Stone. Here, she begins learning “prism shows,” which is an idol show performed on ice skates.

She meets a girl named Rinne, who asks her if she can see rainbow music. She then goes on to enter many tournaments with her friends and uncover the mysteries of the prism world.

#B1: Coming-of-age story set in a “utopia”

Tells the unique coming-of-age story of Saki and her friends as they journey to grow into their roles in the supposed utopia. Accepting these roles, however, might not come easy when faced with the dark and shocking truths of society, and the impending havoc born from the new world.

Titles, propagandas, trailers, and poll under the cut!

#B8: Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live

Propaganda:

WHERE DO I START.

First off: Lesbian activities. Ayase Naru and Rinne Amagi are very close friends and even end up living together. Naru is also only one of the few characters without a proper love interest which really helps further the Naru/Rinne ship.

Otoha Takanashi: often talks about fairy tales, but the only characters she ever sees as Princes are women. Baby lesbian, I love her.

Second: DRAMA. So two of the characters (Ito and Kouji) actually start dating, but their parents do not approve for reasons they are evasive about until it is later revealed in the story—[This part of the propaganda has been cut by admin due to possible spoilers]

Third: banger music. This series includes many covers of popular 90s dance tracks from band TRF, which I am fond of. It also has a lot of unique music written for the show itself which is also good, especially for a children’s show.

Trigger Warnings: It might need the emotional abuse tag for specifically one of the characters’ parents, who is a pretty extreme perfectionist when it comes to her daughter. But nothing else aside from that. It’s a kids’ show, so it never goes that far in terms of actual harm. Most things also get resolved peacefully.

#B1: From the New World (Shinsekai Yori)

Propaganda:

Shinsekai Yori is not the flashiest show, or the fastest pace, but the slow and steady build of the horror and mystery will keep you entranced from beginning to end.

At it’s heart, this show is a coming-of-age story. We follow the protagonist from her childhood to adulthood, with all the messiness in between. From puberty and discovering sexuality, to learning the darker truths of society and having to live with unwanted knowledge, we see through Saki’s eyes. The setting of this world is a post apocalyptic future, and what society has been rebuilt as is one of the main mysteries we discovered.

This show is very complex and dark and sad, but it’s absolutely beautiful. The visuals, backgrounds, character expressions, music all come together to create something truly unique. The only show I know to compare it to might be Psycho-Pass, for it’s similarly deep deconstruction of society. However, whereas Psycho Pass is one of the most praised anime of all time, Shinsekai Yori is barely known. This is a shame, because it truly has something special to say that everyone can relate to. How hard growing up can be, fighting against your own hormones, traditions, adults, family, friends, your moral code.

This is not a happy story; it’s a bittersweet, cautionary tale.

Trigger Warnings: Animal Cruelty or Death, Graphic Depictions of Cruelty/Violence/Gore, Suicide

If you’re reblogging and adding your own propaganda, please tag me @best-underrated-anime so that I’ll be sure to see it.

[tyrantorfevre]

honestly this may be an unpopular opinion in Pretty series tumblr but I much prefer Kouji/Ito than both other canon PR series hetships and even more than their popular gay alternative ship option

And most of it now during my rewatch is, I love how the Kouji/Ito ship made Naru/Rinne ship even much more gayer in retrospective and it personally is more interesting to headcanon for Naru to be the one who's a lesbian with comphet thoughts (due to her complete nuclear family) instead of Ito (and I like the idea of Ito being the only actual straight girl (both in sexuality and tsukkomi role) in Happy Rain)

But that's just my opinion.

[curejiraiya]

I fell back asleep after writing that Kouji Hiro therapy headcanon post and I need you to know that in my mind I wrote a fucking huge Kouji and Ito's parents are two comp het LGBT couples in the 90s forced into settling down and having children because of societal standards and fear of AIDs post. I don't wanna rewrite it but it was glorious in my head. In the end I drew the conclusion that Kouji's mom, Ito's dad, and Ito's mom (what the fuck were any of their names? Was Gen Ito's dad or is Gen the dead one?) are all in a happy triad/throuple and that's a major reason why Kouji and Ito are bad together. Like legitimately the adults were so close even if you're not buying my they were a gay couple and a lesbian couple shit you can agree that now that everything settled Ito's parents wouldn't just leave Kouji's mom out to dry. Before everything they were close friends we see this in flashbacks. I think they adopt her into their family.
