i feel like complaints about niji being treated differently to the other groups are forgetting that since niji began as a side project the seiyuu werent needed to be 'on call' to keep their schedules available for long tours and such and so they were free to take on other jobs of various sizes (including other idol franchise jobs). like thats the reason if someone isnt able to appear at a cross group live its a niji seiyuu

Trip report of the six lives I went to on my last trip to Japan - more condensed than I kind of want because it's approaching 5 weeks since and my memory is awful, and I also am bad with words and describing things.

BUSHIROAD ROCK FESTIVAL 2023 (5/27, Fuji-Q Highland) Acts: Lyrical Lily (OA), Fantôme Iris, Morfonica, Peaky P-key, Nijigasaki High School Idol Club (three members), RONDO, Liella!, Gyroaxia, RAISE A SUILEN My seat partner lucksacked the ticket roll so I was sitting in the second row in a near-middle section. This was my first time seeing any of the groups except for RAS of course. Lyrical Lily's opening act was three of their higher energy songs (two being covers), and also the required Maihime. Nothing amazing but a good taste of the group. Fantôme Iris was fine. I have no interest in the From Argonavis franchise. Morfonica I had a perfect view of Ayasa so kept my eyes on her bow twirling most of the time. Song choices were relatively standard with both Daylight and flame of hope. They had a one song collab with Liella!'s song WE WILL!! at the end that was good. Peaky P-key was the first actually hype portion for me, even if their setlist skewed very old with their first two songs, Gonna be right, and CYBER CYBER as the one cover. OVERWHELM! from D4DJ All Mix was their only recent song performed. Felt good to do the furicopy as part of a large group. Peaky P-key rolled into the NijiGaku section with a special version of Ryouran Victory Road with extended unique lyrics for all the other main singers (and one DJ) from Bandori and D4DJ groups which was unexpected that they'd go that far with the song as the collab wasn't previewed as such. NijiGaku's three members in attendance were Tanaka Chiemi (Rina), Sagara Mayu (Kasumi), and Hayashi Coco (Setsuna). So… my least two favorite characters and my former oshi character's new seiyuu. The group songs were very standard hitting the usual Tokimeki Runners and anime songs, and they stuck to their original solo songs, which honestly was fine because I know the calls and I got to hear CHASE!. RONDO was next with a killer set leading with ARCANA into KiLLiNG ME and a short version of Calendula. BLACK LOTUS was also played hitting my top two favorite originals from them. This was also the first performance that Momo Haruna (Hiiro) attended in almost a year, having been on a semi-hiatus due to health issues. Lots of screaming "OKAERI!" to her from the crowd, myself included. Liella! performed exactly 0 songs that I recognized, which is understandable as I only listened to 5-member Liella and dropped off before 9-member Liella was a thing. It was nostalgic to do idol-style calls though. Kumachan is pretty and I kept following her around instead of my actual oshi Paychan. Gyroaxia was fine, but it was my "sit down and rest" time. RAISE A SUILEN was the final act and had a good mix of older and newer songs, all high energy to keep the crowd going as it got dark. Got to learn the Shakunetsu Bonfire! furicopy and headbang a lot. The final song was RAS's R•I•O•T but with the full cast. Yes, including the boy groups. Full cast covers are always amazing and chaotic, even if this is one of the more "basic" RAS songs to do it on. Highlights are Moepii abandoning Peaky P-key to go hang out with her NijiGaku buddies and the final spoken line being done by Mayuchi and Kumachan. Also I think it was at the end here that I greased fingerhearts from Cocochan so that was a thing.

RAISE A SUILEN LIVE 2023: EXCLAMATION HIGHLAND (5/28, Fuji-Q Highland) Guest Act: Roselia Sitting in a more middle section, five rows from the front gave good views of basically everyone but especially Raychell. Roselia was billed as the guest act but was more like an opening act really, since no collabs happened. Roselia skewed quite old for their setlist (Nesshoku Starmine, Dear Gleam, PASSIONATE ANTHEM, BLACK SHOUT, FIRE BIRD), with only one song being after the release of the Wahl album in Dear Gleam. Solid overall for a guest/opening act of course, and it was nice to see them again after three and a half years. RAS opening with Invincible Fighter gave me good memories to the other major RAS live I attended back in 2019, Heaven and Earth, where it was the Day 2 opener. The most surprising part of the setlist was a Goka! Gokai!? Phantom Thief cover out of nowhere, and I was also the only one jumping during it in my row :P The back-to-back-to-back attack of Rettou Joutou, Keep the Heat and Fire Yourself Up, and Repaint was also very strong. They debuted one previously unperformed cover with Kyouran Hey Kids!! and one brand new song, -N-E-M-E-S-I-S-, which was still a month away from CD release at the time. Overall a very good live from the group but it still didn't beat out how magical Heaven and Earth was (and at this point I don't think anything ever will…)

tipToe. 3rd ONEMAN "My Long Prologue" (5/29, Ebisu LIQUIDROOM) I was shilled into this by someone I know who is a big fan of the group, so I decided to pull a "sure I'll go to lives three days in a row, I won't be that dead I swear". This is the first time I'd attended a live for an actual idol group and not a group of seiyuu playing idols. This was also the smallest venue I'd ever been in, until later in this same trip. tipToe. is billed a "concept idol group", where the members are required to graduate after three years of activity. It's hard for me to describe their music. There's some very emotional songs, there's some more standard pop-like fun idol songs, there's some in the middle. There's apparently a story that weaves everything together as well, if you understand the lyrics. Also, since these are actual idols, penlight waving and calls are different - raise your penlight for your oshi and no one else, and mixing is fair game. Well, I liked the group enough to get a twoshot cheki (my first one ever) with one member, Yuzuki Rin, who was very happy to talk to a new overseas fan. I recommend reading this more indepth trip report: https://ramen.events/tiptoe-3rd-oneman/

エクストロメ!! (6/1, Shinjuku Loft) Acts: airattic, われらがプワプワプーワプワ, Finger Runs, tipToe. This was the unplanned event I ended up at because I got enabled into going after enjoying tipToe.'s oneman live earlier in the week. Loft is the smallest venue I've ever been in. This was also the cheapest live out of all I attended at only 2100 yen for the ticket + drink fee. All four groups were good, though the most I remember about Finger Runs and われらがプワプワプーワプワ were their outfits. airattic is a "sister group" to tipToe. but I didn't like their music as much. I did another twoshot cheki afterwards with Rinchan. She remembered me, noticed I'd followed her on Twitter, and talked to me about going to Shibuya and seeing Hachiko. That's how real idols get you…

Raychell Live Tour "Sing Alone" Aichi Performance (6/2, Nagoya ell.FITS ALL) Another first for me, seeing a seiyuu artist's solo performance. I don't heavily follow Raychell's solo career so didn't recognize most of the songs until Are You Ready To FIGHT near the end. If you haven't listened to it and are a RAS fan, I highly recommend checking her songs out as they're a much more varied style. She gave a lot of fanservice to the people standing up front, including fist bumps and a few jokes with people she recognized as regulars. I do not recommend attending a live in wet shoes and socks, though.

Ave Mujica 0th LIVE "Primo die in scaena" (6/4, Nakano Sunplaza) The final live of the trip and, because something has to be at the bottom, my least favorite one. Ave Mujica is the newest band in the Bandori franchise, and this was their debut live. I'd been following their music releases and teaser videos since they started and was already a fan of the general style being a harder rock. Of course they played all of their existing originals, plus debuted a new self-titled one. The surprises were the covers, consisting of songs originally by angela, Creepy Nuts, Ali Project, and…Roselia! Determination Symphony was an odd choice I think since that song is so heavily tied to Sayo, but PASSIONATE ANTHEM was good and also meant I heard the song twice in the span of a week The live length was very short at only 70 minutes, sort of expected due to the lack of content but would've thought they'd pad it out to at least 90. Also they only revealed character names (stage names probably since they're Latin words) and not the seiyuu - hopefully it's not a MyGO situation where it takes a full year for an official reveal (though after seeing the first bits of the MyGO anime, I don't think they'll be going that long before official reveal…)

Next trip is in November for a stupid YOLO weekender for Bandori 12th!

Well, at least I got to send a message to be possibly be read over at Anime Expo. It's a secret, but I tried to be polite and straight-forward with Love Live in mind. Hopefully, Aikyan, Mayuchi, and Sayurin see it and maybe I'll finally get some positive vibes.

[zurafuture]

Mayuchi is absolutely infectious as Kasumi in the latest live omg

[kusunoki-tomori]

I've translated a part of last month's stream where Nijigasaki recalls their favorite moments from their live event with drawings and uh... to say "each one has their own unique flair" might be putting it lightly. 

Also how many times do you think they said  "yabai" "matte" and "doushiyo" in this video. The answer is too many times.

Preview of Nijigasaki 3rd album: first one is Kasumi!

[unsuccesscr]

Mayuchi: hey are you ok

Izuku, in the middle of a panic attack: [wheezes] peachy

[ashitomarisu]

Hmm...I'm trying to figure something out.

When I got into Love Live the first time (2015), I fell hard for Rin (who became my first nesoberi to own).

When I got back into Love Live in 2019, it was Yohane.

When Nijigaku aired, I can't recall who out of the original nine I fell for, although it was dangerously close between Emma, Rina, or Ayumu.

When Liella first debuted, Kanon instantly won my heart.

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

Now, my interests are awkward:

Nozomi became my favorite Muse member (but Rin is still high on my list).

Chika is my favorite Aqours member and best leader (although Yohane is still a huge deal to me; despite surrendering to the whole group).

Emma still remains as a favorite, but Lanzhu is making things hard.

Yeah, Kanon is still a fave, but then there's Mei.

As for seiyuus....other than naming the "obvious", I actually do have interests in other seiyuus outside of Aqours.

In fact, Rippi was the first interest before ever thinking of Sunshine!. I desperately wanted to know more about Kussun, but the trail went cold. (OP's denying her feelings for Emitsun).

As for Nijigaku, contrary to belief, I'm actually dead set on Mayuchi, Homin, or Chunrun (although I'm guilty for seeing more Kaorin, Moepii and Mayuchi clips on Youtube).

When are Sayurin or Nagichan ever going to have a solo debut?! Nagichan would be highly anticipated, just for her vocals alone. Also, Nonchan...

Ranking the 4th Album Solos

TLDR: They’re all bangers and we have no choice but to stan

11. Yada (Setsuna)

11. Yada (Setsuna)

11. Yada (Setsuna)

Setsuna went with a completely different genre than usual which is prefered for me. She sounds cute in this but I don’t know, I don’t like the speaking bits in this song and it kinda holds it back a bit. However I will admit that the chorus part is lowkey an earworm already…

10. Turn It Up (Karin)

Not Karin’s weakest solo, but this doesn’t feel like a solo song tbh. I feel like song gives off a full group vibe rather a solo, so I think this being a solo makes me not like the song as much. Its still good in its own right, but I probably won’t find myself listening to this on my own time.

9. Silent Blaze (Kanata)

The title basically describes the song. I do feel like this song isn’t Kanata’s song but rather Akarin’s song…I don’t know if I like that tbh. This song is still really powerful and the chorus part slaps.

8. First Love Again (Rina)

This song is pretty much a ballad version of Red Gem Wink and that does lower the song for me ranking-wise. I dislike slow songs however this song really uses Chiemi’s voice well and that saves the song for me…Though it does hurt to place her this low when all her other solos have consistently ranked #1 for me.

7. Itsu Datte For You (Emma)

This solo is basically an upbeat QU4RTZ song. I can’t wait for this to release because it sounds good with or without vocals. I really do like this song a lot and Chunrun sounds so cute in this…I feel like Emma is giving me a hug herself with this song and it makes me happy listening to this.

6. Concentrate! (Shioriko)

I feel like off-vocal for this song could be found in a Kirby game so I am a bit biased to this song. But damn, Moepi sings so fast I can’t keep up with her. This sounds like this could be played in a diner or something. I feel like I can really get up and jump when listening to it.

5. Diabolic Mulier (Ai)

Ai getting a solo that sounds different from Meccha Going? It’s more likely than you think. I feel like this song uses Nacchan’s voice so well and I love the Halloween vibes this song has. I also I love listening to the beginning of the song a lot. I am very happy to finally like an Ai song now!

4. TO BE YOURSELF (Kasumi)

I always enjoy listening to Kasumi solos, and if I am being honest I have no idea how to describe this song. It kinda sounds like an anime op but I dunno what genre. Either way, I really like this song and Mayuchi sounds so smooth in this song.

3. Toy Doll (Mia)

I unironically love this song a lot. It’s so cheesy and it sounds like it came straight out of a disney sitcom from the late 2000s. This song benefits so much from being an english song because my brain holds so much nostalgia for this type of music.

2. Eieisa (Shizuku)

Has Shizuku ever had a bad song? The only answer is no. I am sucker whenever they do traditional japanese sounding songs and this song is no different. Kaorin’s voice as always sounds so beautiful too.

1. Break The System (Ayumu)

Holy shit this song HITS. I adore Agupon’s voice but I feel like all of her prior solos sound kinda the same imo, and I’ve never been big on them. However, this song goes off and declares that Ayumu isn’t baby anymore. This was honestly the most shocking one in the album to listen to live but Ayumu deserves this ranking.
