Idol showcase at AAC today!!! Gonna be performing Forever U & I from Genjitsu no Yohane! :mexcitedmiku: ("Oh I can make that costume in a couple weeks" - me a couple weeks ago :blobfoxlaughsweat: .)
The #yohane finale was wonderful. Absolutely loved this series for what it did and the story it told. I never thought that I'd be as attached to it as I am, but I'm so glad this series was created even from an April Fool's joke. Thanks to all staff and cast involved.
#Yohane is by far my favorite seasonal this season. I can't count PreCure as a seasonal lol, but Yohane continues to be such a good positive show that features love and good vibes to feel better about yourself and others. I love it so incredibly much.
I WILL BE GETTING A LAILAPS PLUSHIE!
Yohane Sunday!!! :AquaYeah: I gave Riko a dog too, because of last episode. :blobfoxcryreach: The next episode sounds like it will also be really sweet, I can't wait. :nnezukolove56:
More Mari love in today's #Yohane episode. Today's motif really hit me hard as someone who feels they struggle to fit into places, so to see those three find each other was immensely heartwarming. I absolutely love this series.
I'm still so happy about the new Genjitsu no Yohane episode! I love Riko, and we got so much good Riko content today!! :zerotwoheart:
The shyness theme is really sweet. :nnezukolove56: I think it makes a lot of sense for Yohane's character, and it's so nice seeing her become the one who helps others work through it. Especially Riko, who's always been a shy dork. (Yohane was the first person Riko gave a flyer to in Sunshine episode 3 :meowbongopat: . And YohaRiri was always a great pairing in Sunshine.) Yohane getting Mari and Riko to be her friends, I feel like this is the Guilty Kiss episode I've always wanted. :akko_hug:
Also, the plot idea of bringing together people's Resonance in song to protect Numazu... I thought a bit about this last episode, but this is really reminiscient of the lyrics to Deep Resonance. It looks like we might actually get Yohane belting, like the end of the song, through the anime darkness. :mmikusing:
The new Yohane episode!!!! :nnezukolove56: Really hit with the feels early on. :akko_cry:
I loved the theme of this episode. I feel like it really gets to the heart of Yohane's character, and even to the heart of Love Live Sunshine itself: Someone struggling to figure out who they are, and having to worry about what others will think about it. (Also remembering that Maru was the one to explain this part of her to the others in Sunshine episode 5. Maru has always been so sweet with Yohane. :zerotwoheart: ) Once again, Yohane has found friends in Aqours who let her be who she's supposed to be, and now she's here helping Mari do the same. (And helping in a way that's not putting the Kurosawas into joint locks, as useful as that was in Sunshine.) I've always felt that Yohane's character arc was essential to Sunshine as a whole, and I love seeing that on display as this iteration makes her the one who's bringing everyone together.
Have not had wifi all day (checked out of hotel in the morning, spent the day at the con, and then had to travel back) and now I'm sleepy, so I have not watched this week's episode of Genjitsu no Yohane yet. :akko_sad:
But still a happy Yohane Sunday! Here's a random hotel Yohane. :nadeshiko_2: Excited to watch it tomorrow!
Very sweet episode! It's nice seeing Yohane make more friends :nadeshiko_2: (I really like the touch of her always being slightly awkward in the group shots, like the jump up or the construction cheering. Reminds me of the Sunshine S1 opening, with everyone jumping down off a ledge and Yohane just getting unexpectedly tossed lol). And friendship seems to be part of the key to the staff, though apparently she also needs them to sing (Maru's symbol only appeared on the staff this episode.) Friendship + singing = magic staff power. Seeing her declare that she's home in Numazu after spending time with You, Kanan, and Maru was really heartwarming; it's so nice to see her grow like this :zerotwoheart:
The insert song was nice! The Maru rap hits really nice in particular. :mmikudance: I will never get tired of Kin-chan's "zura"s. Title is 「R・E・P」, and of course it's Maru/You/Kanan (Welcome to AZALEA, You!) Link with info on Love Live Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zv8bcT4ju20
Just when I thought that I was done ordering CDs too...
Just another day being comfy and happy with alternate universe Aqours... and then Lailaps starts being foreboding. This mix of cute fun and dark fantasy plot is still hitting just right for me, even though I don't want cute fun time to end right now. :akko_weary: Looking forward to seeing what next episode does with this!
I made chocolate strawberries (combining her two favorite foods) as a treat! :blobfoxnomstrawberry: No chocolate for Lailaps though. (Or for my roommate's dog, who really wanted to share.)
And since it's July 13th over here: Happy birthday to Yohane, my favorite Aqours idol, fallen angel, and now magical fortune-telling singing hero of Numazu!
Yohane 3rd solo album is here! I love this picture of her :nnezukolove56:
Really liking her new solo song "MABOROSHI wing". They really went all in on the dark, fallen angel sound with the orchestral parts. The timpani was a particularly nice touch :akko_listen:
