RIP D4DJ

>>34135820
What country and shipping method?

>>34135990
what was this about?

>>34136441
>>34135990

going back to this discussion since it's pretty interesting. At this point in time, the rhythm kusoge market is really oversaturated as well. D4DJ is competing against, what, Project Sekai | LoveLive/LL All Stars | 22/7 | IdolM@ster | Bangdream all those being the kind of games that whales and hardcore fans will really stick with till either the servers ends or they quit playing music games altogether.

That leaves D4DJ with trying to attract people who don't already religiously play a rhythm game(normies), trying to steal the audience of their competition, or what's probably happening right now, where essentially Bushiroad is just double dipping into the Bandori market with D4DJ which isn't ideal at all, at least for long term growth(possibly even detrimental since it may burn out your current market).

Basically, D4DJ is doomed to mediocrity until it fizzles out, or they capture lightning in a bottle with their marketing

I want to lick her

>>34136977
Having a cult fanbase isn't exactly bad either though, i played a lot of games that isn't exactly out there but still have a pretty nice steady community
With that being said i don't know if it'll be enough to keep it alive in the long run since D4DJ's scope is pretty big being a multimedia project and all

>>34136977
Looking at Kidani's tweet it kind of comes across as him being butthurt and defensive and punching down, instead of up, with the blogger he was addressing. And while being butthurt and defensive isn't news with him, it does make one wonder why he's spending so much time and effort dicking around on Twitter instead of working on issues that commentators and even Bushiroad's stakeholders have brought up before.

>>34136899
Poland, DHL.
I used cheaper methods before, but since I usually buy a lot of small stuff like CDs and books together the costs are more or less the same as EMS (or even cheaper), the difference being that it takes 2-3 days for the package to arrive instead of 1 week + dealing with the customs bullshit. I still use EMS for bigger items like gunpla or figures, DHL charges are crazy for big volume packages.

>>34136977
To be honest D4DJ seemed kinda like a niche thing from the start. A lot of the music we got out of it is great, sure, but the project doesn't have enough impact to break into mainstream. I mean, most of us probably wouldn't even care if we weren't into Bandori and Bushi seiyuus in the first place.

>>34136977
COVID seems to have messed up a lot of promotional and live plans. So it’s no surprise D4DJ hasn’t got off to be best start. When they get back to having proper lives again it may pick up more steam.
As you say it’s a saturated market now, so yeah not loosing money would be a “success”.

>>34137188
I think it's no secret at this point that D4DJ is an effort by Bushi to try and break into the wider international market, which is a pretty tough task since only Babymetal's ever succeeded in some measure on that front I think(?)

D4DJ's had the multiple youtube showings of their lives, some of their youtube content having subs, the friday night DJ shows. If covid never happened, i would expect that they'd already have had a live or two overseas, probably Singapore to test the waters

>>34137188
>I mean, most of us probably wouldn't even care if we weren't into Bandori and Bushi seiyuus in the first place.
Interesting you would say that; I skimmed the blog post that discussed "why D4DJ failed" and the overlap between D4DJ's cast and Bandori's was one of the causes which the blogger named. They put it in perspective when they said a third of the D4DJ cast have roles in both projects.

From an attention-attracting position, maybe you're right, people wouldn't care as much for D4DJ if they didn't recognize names associated with it, but from a profit standpoint, as the blogger noted, it dilutes the real-money-transaction whaling brought on by being a fan of cast members participating in two similar (enough) works. Or, in my words, not the blogger's, if you were a fan of Reo's and her characters were both on the featured banner in both games, would you conserve your limited funds and blow them all on one game's banner, or split them over both games and very possibly end up with nothing to show for it?

>>34137050
most games can't all be major hits, so it's actually the most common way for smaller titles to stay afloat/make a profit, by getting a smaller group of dedicated whales to cater to while everyone else is just an afterthought

>>34137318
Yeah, COVID probably messed things up too. I wonder how big are live concerts in terms of these franchises' publicity. I know I was initially brought in by seeing Roselia's performances and I still care much more about the IRL part than the anime for example. It still amazes me how the RAS part of the 6th Live and NO GIRL NO CRY didn't manage to sell out all the seats.

>>34137473
Well, I'm the wrong person to ask about whaling or gacha in general as I'd rather buy merch to support the franchise. But to answer your question in a kinda roundabout way, I'd probably split my funds and buy merch of both.

I'm curious what people that started with D4DJ as new fans would have to say on this topic, but I don't think we have many of them here.

>>34138329
>I wonder how big are live concerts in terms of these franchises' publicity.
Major concerts aren’t just publicity, they are big money makers and was supposed to be a part of bushi’s income from their franchises.

>>34138329
>NO GIRL NO CRY
I'm actually kinda surprised that they announced a Live Blu-ray after all these years.
I thought they would pretend the whole event never happened after they didn't even manage to fill 50% of the venue when iM@S and Love Live easily sell out Domes with a 55k capacity.

>>34138329
>>34138482
don't forget, lives aren't just about the tickets, hell based on my experience with the events I've handled, those are usually done JUUST to recuperate the initial expenses, if not done at a loss. The big money makers are the merch that comes with door sales, since most events do the razor and blade approach

>>34138583
actually didn't see it, was it that bad?

>>34138329
>>34138482
On the point about merch and income, the blog post questioned whether the audience that attended D4DJ live shows would translate to spending on the mobage, which to my mind is a valid concern. It feels as if the marketing side wanted to duplicate the Bandori model with D4DJ and double (triple?) dip with concert, merch, and game revenue, though the problem with the overlapping casts comes in. Sure, two cakes, and all that, but say if Aimi's (just an example, since she is essentially the "face" of both projects) roles were instead played by Aimi and another well-liked seiyuu. Fans of both actresses/characters would contribute to revenue for both projects, and Bandori's and D4DJ's reach would extend to 2 groups that might not necessarily overlap as much as fans of Aimi alone.

>>34138624
maybe Bushi's stinginess is also at play? Not completely sure if it applies here, but it's usually cheaper to give a person a raise for like 40-50% and double his responsibilities than it is to hire a completely new person and train them from the ground up for the same work. Might explain why bushi likes hiring the same people for multiple roles

>>34138623
Don't look it up. The videos are even worse.

Project Sekai and Uma Musume both dominated the rhythm game and idol markets, while D4DJ went for the "standard" bushiroad approach of multimedia content and making it live under Bandori's shadow (which was a pretty dumb move for them).

>>34138692
The cast members are paid by number of appearances. KDHR probably was paid the same amount for that one grunt Sayo made in a Garupa Pico episode as she was for another episode where she had many more lines with actual syllables.

The only ostensible upside to casting the same people over and over again is familiarity with them, and building the Hibiki brand. Even the latter has exceptions like Haruki whose agency has no major ties to Hibiki and whose career was largely live-action acting before Starlight.

>>34138697
that's actually depressingly sad

>>34138697
How does this happen
Lack of advertisement or interest? i thought Silent Siren is decently popular

It definitely feels like they want overseas attention for D4DJ but it would help if they were more willing to have concert/streams archived for at least a day so people in the west can actually have a chance to see it without being up in the middle of the night. I also think the lack of communication in regards to the English version of the game isn't helping. They said there would be one, then said "spring" for release and not a word since then.

It's all your fault for not watching the dubbed version of D4DJ

>>34139209
are silent siren popular enough with the type of otaku bandori attracts though?
I'm not surprised it failed to fill the capacity.

>>34139209
Vastly overestimated PoPiPa‘s popularity and thought they could attract mainstream audience with that collab.

When that blog post talked about Bushiroad reusing the same seiyuu, makes me think, has there ever been a Bushiroad seiyuu that has received mainstream roles? Or are they just stuck in the Bushiverse? I can think of Suzuko Mimori, Sora Tokui and Itou Miku for one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvnlKT0XvYE
subs from the BD

>>34140111
Is Mikku even really "bushi" seiyuu
She only have a role in bandori right

>>34140111
I think Miku got mainstream roles before Kokkoro so I'm not sure she counts

The only one I can think of is Teru getting an im@s role. The rest either had history outside before joining Bushi or started in Bushi but hasn't left the bubble

>>34139346
I seriously doubt the overseas audience is going to significantly contribute to the franchise's success (besides maybe China). Even if you compare to other popular otaku franchises in the west, like Fate, Madoka, LL and even Bandori, it's clear that the market is far smaller than its japanese counterpart.
It being a multimedia franchise is even worse since at most they will have livestream for concerts and some random merch, outside of the mobage to make money out of. But I'm not a bushiroad shareholder so what do I know lol.

>>34140111
If you are talking about Hibiki affiliated then I don't think many of them did stuff outside of bushi

the overseas market won't be profitable until they make shipping physical goods less of a pain to get done.

>>34140157
Staying in character isn't even a challenge for Non-chan

>>34140542
theyre launching a global store next week with d4dj, love live and bandori merch

>>34140998
character stuff only or is the seiyuu side of things included too?

>>34140157
which BD is this from

>>34141127
im guessing both since theyre going to have the roselia voice actor cards

https://twitter.com/Bushi_GL_SHOP

>>34141416
interdasting...
I do remember seeing a website that stocked the revue bromides, but they didn't have the ones I was looking for. Hopefully they get a license to stock those here, but I won't hold my breath.

>>34141393
Rausch, included with ZEAL of proud limited edition.

Is it fair to say that the whole problem with D4DJ is niche+double dipping, I don't know who technically owns Assault Lily but that feels like it's down very well with how much I see it around. The anime and the music for it especially seemed to pull lots of standard otaku types in. Revue Starlight is relatively new and has an all-star cast but the idea itself made it excellent too instead of just doing a girls-do-acting franchise

>>34141808
Assault Lily definitely hit a sweet spot, it works well to anyone from the average person who likes girls doing cute/cool stuff even if that stuff is fighting weird monsters that make pig noises, and to the smaller audiences like its doll/figure market. Revue, I find, was probably doing the right thing but I get the impression it's too "high" for a lot of the "standard" type to get into. I mean, you can throw around the premise of cute girls singing all you want but at the end of the day a lot are going to be turned off by the idea of theatre. I figure the mobage not exactly topping the charts kinda hurt it in some way too.

>>34140111
Sora and miku were seiyuu before bandori anon

>>34142167
Pretty sure Sora debuted on Bushi series. Seemed like her, Kitta Izumi, Nanjo and Mimorin basically bounced around Weiss, Milky and Vanguard in Bushi’s early days.

>>34139346
>>34140468
>>34140542
Having more events outside Singapore and China could help but given the 'rona that won't be happening at least in the short term, and my fear is that by the time things are back to normal it may be too late and either the franchise is dead or some of the seiyuu have retired. They don't seem to care too much outside of Singapore/China/The US which is odd since there's potential for fanbases outside those core Bushiroad markets.

>>34136623
do you guys have a faq or something

>>34142989
Bandori concerts in Europe when

>>34143088
What do you want to know?

>>34143169
After this is all over, hopefully

>>34143088
I know OPs are meant to not be read, but you literally just replied to what you're looking for.

>>34141808
Revue Starlight is very high production compared to other Bushi franchises. I can get into other Bushi franchises except for D4DJ.

>>34131898
But Aimi is good at singing. And that's a problem because 2 other people in her band, Sae and Hego are great at singing.

>>34142417
Hibiki was formed to support Mimo's voice acting career to begin with. Back in the day, Milky Holmes was Hibiki's and Bushiroad's flagship series, and even when it wasn't hugely popular yet it got a lot of resources (Milky Holmes went to London back when literally no one there knew or cared about them).

Somehow, in large part because of the main four's charisma, Milky Holmes managed to eventually gain a fanbase and success. I wouldn't be surprised if Kidani still believes Vanguard, D4DJ, etc will one day replicate its popularity and success if he just keeps throwing money at them.

>>34144068
I think I already said this here but you guys seriously underestimate Vanguard lol. It's one of the biggest TCGs in Japan, falling behind only YGO and Pokemon which are absolute monsters and has had anime airing pratically nonstop for about 10 years. I haven't kept up much with the franchise in like 4 years but it's definitely bigger than MH at their peak (and even bandori probably)

>>34144315
Bushiroad's main business is in TCGs and collectibles after all, so of course Vanguard is their biggest flagship these days. And their staff actually seem to enjoy playing and developing Vanguard. Perhaps Weiss Schwarz would have been a better example. And I don't quite feel like going down the rabbit hole of looking up concrete stats about how profitable Vanguard is, which isn't the focus of this thread anyway.

I suppose the point being made is really that Milky Holmes eventually becoming somewhat successful as a multimedia 2.5D series might lead to higher-ups thinking they can do the same with other series, but Milky Holmes was always something special and much of what gave it its charm can't be replicated when times have changed.

>>34136977
I can only tell you why its rhythm game failed. It's because of this piece of shit slider. It makes the game literally unplayable.
Another big reason is the terrible character designs. Well they aren't terrible per say, but just really unremarkable especially for the idol genre.

>>34144877
how the fuck did they make the D4DJ gameplay so clunky and awkward when the bandori gameplay is fine? baffling.
It's a shame that a lot of good cover songs are designated to the D4DJ dungeon, they'd be much better used elsewhere.

>>34144975
Two completely different game developers. Bushiroad can have a say in the direction like the story and character designs, but when it comes to game design, they don't have as much leverage.

I thought Hi-chan was good at math

>>34144975
Sae thighs hnnnnnnngggg

>>34144431
kinda stupid for Bushiroad decision makers to think they can capture lightning in a bottle multiple times in a row. I'd argue that the casting of revue is on point, but they aren't quite big enough to compare to the all time greats, just cause its kinda constrained by its stage play format being on the niche end of mediums

What happened to those two new female seiyuu hibiki announced a while back?
Have they done anything since their debut?

Kidani strikes yet again with another Bandori live during a pandemic. How is the covid in japan even? I hear that covid cases are still high there https://twitter.com/bang_dream_info/status/1379962195862302720

>>34146264
not as bad as early january, but still in worrying uptrend. Also chuusen tickets for a live happening in two weeks? bold decision

>>34146188
One could argue that Milky Holmes was as niche as it could get as well, though. The detective premise was mostly dressing, what made it entertaining was the four of them (plus sidekicks and friends) doing variety show level silly stuff. I doubt anyone in the Starlight cast would be dumped out in the boonies to do farming, for instance.

On that note, the Kukugumi 99-point challenge was completed literally years ago and they still haven't received the supposedly handsome reward for it, which speaks volumes about how little the suits bother.

>>34140111
Hashi, Aimi, Teru, Yuki are all in Im@s and makes appearances in their lives, and that's pretty mainstream. Mimori's a pretty cure seiyuu, and Moepi's in LL Niji
Other than that, half of Revue Starlight are actual stage girls at heart, Teru and Maho in particular been really active the past few months on that end
Tonopi, Hashi and Sora's on Uma Musume which is gaining more momentum with each day Kaorin too
Kudoharu, Saechi, Aimi, and Mimori have their solo careers.

Basically anyone who isn't under Hibiki is busy with stuff outside bushi projects

I checked the price of that champagne they bought, $400 per bottle.
I can't believe they fell for the expensive champagne meme...

>>34146663
>Basically anyone who isn't under Hibiki is busy with stuff outside bushi projects
You do realize you named a bunch of Hibiki and ex-Hibiki seiyuu in the same post.

Not to mention Aiai who has 2 monthly streams and appears on a bajillion TV shows and livestreams and radio programs on the regular.

>>34147019
it's an exaggeration, I'm just poking fun at how the hibiki seiyuu have a lot more bushi works than outside it, which just makes sense

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PN2KYIgP64
what the fuck happened to akeshan? was she always this worn down?

>>34147200
everyone around her got married

AiAi updated her oyasumi response after 17 days.

>>34147200
Bruh she looks like a granny

>>34147200
This is terribly rude so I'm putting it behind a spoiler, but she looks no worse than Rimirin, and I can't say for sure which of them is worse off for the comparison.

>>34141808
can revue be called an all-star cast? only mimorin and Aiai were the A-tier talents coming into the project right? Maho-nee can be argued too, but that's 3/9

>>34147830
not him, I don't agree with calling it an all-star cast but there's more truly talented people in the revue cast than most projects.
only Ayasa and maybe Hii-chan didn't really have a lot of stage experience, AiAi too. the rest are relatively well versed in that style of acting.

>>34147845
Hot

>>34147689
Rimirin puts more makeup on which makes her look younger. But she also looks like a skeleton, so there's that

>>34147847
Also not that anon, but since they mentioned Assault Lily I'm going to use it for comparison. The Starlight cast (at least when we don't factor in Starira, and even there we have exceptions like Nossan) was half voice actresses who went into live-action acting and the other half live-action actresses who went into voice acting. And then we have people like Moepi and Momoyo who technically are voice actresses but whose more memorable roles were in live action. Going way back to Starlight's original pitch, and looking at how it's described in the present, the live-action aspect and animated series were always intended to have equal weight, developing concurrently. I'd hesitate to call it an all-star cast, but being cast for Starlight (even for the mobage) came with the expectation of competency in both forms, and auditioning for it was with full knowledge of that expectation. When Kukugumi were assembled, those who were more experienced in one were paired up with those who were more experienced in the other (insert that picture of yankee Maho and fringeless gyaru Aiai here).

On the other hand, Assault Lily started out without expecting to become a multimedia series (the FAQ on the official blog from all those years back still states that), and Bushiroad only entered the picture relatively recently to produce merch, plan for LoG/TFG, back the anime, etc. The guy who wrote and directed the anime was in talks from 2017, and at that point there already was an partnership with the Ludvico Girls School cast that had two/three live action plays - some of them are still involved in the project now and many of them play Last Bullet, but the likelihood of any of them ever voicing their characters is pretty low. There are also conspiracy theorists who wonder if Rimi replacing the previous actress for Himari and the one-time addition of Tonopi to the Ludvico cast were due to Bushiroad's meddling, while the majority of LoG's and TFG's actresses also voice their characters in animated form. Back when TFG ran last year, Hitotsuyanagitai had a press conference/public address and Pi-chan was like "we're all voice actresses here" which I think shows the angle Bushiroad are taking; they want voice actresses who can do live-action acting over live-action actresses who can do voice acting. The Ludvico reruns this year also have Miyase Reina returning as Raimu, so they can easily call on her to voice Raimu in Last Bullet or the animated shorts if it comes to that, rather than prep an untrained newbie or one of Raimu's previous actresses, who both have no background in voice acting.

In either case, though, even if they aren't necessarily all-star casts, they are proficient enough at what they do, aren't they?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNwO_IfBzBs

>>34147200
I don't think she looks that bad
Isn't she 35-ish now or something? she looks exactly her age

I like AL because it gives me an excuse to talk to anons about the various non-bushi cast members I like.

>>34148151
>they want voice actresses who can do live-action acting over live-action actresses who can do voice acting.

that's a pretty interesting distinction to make. Any reason as to why Bushiroad would ever prefer one over the other?

>>34148634
This is just speculation on my part.

The Ludvico actresses were in those roles before Assault Lily and later Bushiroad entered the picture, Nakamura Yukari was playing Fukuyama Sachie the horribly unlucky human teenage girl before she was Fukuyama Jeanne Sachie the Lily with a superweapon in each hand. The characters were AU-ed and reimagined in the Assault Lily setting, while Hitotsuyanagitai, although created earlier than the Ludvico characters, were cast later. When Bushiroad had a bigger/active say in things, they placed their own voice talents (Rimi, TonoTsumu) or people who appeared in their other works (Haruki, Chinharu, Maho) in LoG/TFG, or encouraged them to audition - I remember Tsumu saying she also read for Riri and for Yuyu, but Tsukui Minami got her role of Gozen without auditioning, presumably because whoever made casting decisions thought she was a good fit. As with the case of D4DJ discussed above, the use of familiar names would entice their fans to a series that they might have passed up otherwise, liaising with the staff would be easier if it were people they worked with before or Bushiroad/Hibiki's own, and there are proven track records of the actresses being able to act both on stage and in a recording booth.

I'm not saying there was favoritism involved, and while some of the earlier members of the Ludvico cast appeared/will appear in the same or new roles this year, there's this unspoken distinction (?) between "the bunch who appear in several Pius productions" like Hirosawa, Umehara, Awatsu and such, and "the bunch associated with the 'main' Bushiroad plays who also voice their characters." Then there's the actresses who moved on from their Ludvico characters and probably won't return to then again (Clara's previous actress got married and had a kid, for one). The members of the cast get along well, but it seems like the execs are more inclined to recast the ones who started out with Ludvico (Ishii, Awatsu, etc) in live action roles than to cast them in roles that call for voice acting (Sanashii, Fujii, Toujou).

Last thread someone mentioned Joran so I remembered to watch it. Seems interesting and a departure from the usual Bushi stuff.

The website said theatre production was in the works, so bushi really does have a hard on for live action.

They got a wrestler to do cross promotion towards the end, it is not Okada.

>>34151429
Kaoruko speaks with a Kyoto accent. It has the connotations of old-fashioned charm, because Kyoto has a lot of history and was the capital in the old days (people from Kyoto get irritated if you tell them to their faces that Tokyo is the capital, because to them, everywhere else is a hick town). It also connotes passive aggressive assholery, which people from Kyoto are masters of, even for Japanese passive aggressiveness.

Perhaps it's no coincidence that most who move/travel eastward to work or study, like Ayasa, use standard (Tokyo) Japanese without their accent since the people around them would speak it. Though as we see ih less serious settings, Ayasa doesn't bother holding back the accent, especially when talking to Kansai-born friends like Aimi, Aiai, Teru, etc.

Putting on the accent can be hard for those who weren't raised in Kansai areas, because their intonation comes out all weird like Haruki (which is why Aiai finds her attempts hilarious) or exaggerated like Yatsuki's actress in BLUE GLITTER.

>>34155395
You say it as a joke. I once found a metal band that only made songs about KDHR

>>34155571
depends on cola or monster, which you can drink longer or which will exist longer

>>34155655
what

>>34155960
Some kind of KDHR tribute band

>>34155974
I saw that video... nasty stuff

>>34156520
I don't think we are talking about the same "tribute"

>>34155974
Do you have a link?

Sumipe watching her MV

>>34157031
I admire their dedication.

>>34157051
I- What's the point?

>>34157031
I can't tell if those are just breathing or if there are lyrics behind that 50 layers of distortion

>>34157441
It should have been Amita reacting to Sumipe's MV instead

>>34157031
>Love Live saved my life, but also ruined it
fuckin laughable

I wonder if we have enough Reo fans to make a Reo band in this thread

>>34157031
I would pay to watch KDHR react to this

>>34157051
i wish they'd got her tanned for the Nagatoro bit

>>34157563
Am a Reo fan, but am not a competent musician

>>34157563
We'd need a good keyboardist for a proper Reo band.

>>34158219
Ayasa can't take part then

>>34158219
I am a Keyboardist, but I don't know how good is good for you

is that romcom anime with the popipa OP out yet? what season is it supposed to be on

>>34158290
It's not for me, it's for Reo.

>>34158653
Thanks

It's still pretty long huh, kinda not really interested in the premise anyway just wanna see what it feels like watching an outsider anime with bandori op
And Aimin

>>34158320
I am captivated by Reo's beautiful eyes.

I'm a little sad, it's been like over a week since Amane posted her last selfie.

>>34159785
she's too busy spending time with her boyfriend

>>34159593

>>34159785
She's a second year now. How fast time flies.

I like Yuzumoon, I hope she does another Instagram live soon

>>34160228
god Hazuki is sexy

How good is tsumu's English?

>>34160377
not as good as Hii-chan's.
they made raychell speak some english in that Joran show, it wasn't great but I blame the sound director.

>>34160377
Pronunciation is pretty solid since she learned it from a young age, she usually seems to have a tough time actually stringing together cohesive/natural sentences herself when not referencing scripts though.

>>34160377
Very bad. I have no idea why they constantly bring up her english proficiency when she's unable to even form simple sentences on her own.

Newfag here
Is there a list of fansub or official English channels for their stuff ?

>>34160801
I don't think there's a list, but a big part of the fansubs are on bseiyuu.com

https://twitter.com/ludojyo/status/1380158391193063424

Schwester no Inori will be livestreamed (paid) as a corona measure. Technically a rerun, but the addition of Mutou Shiori as Amatsu Marei and certain things hinted at in the recent photoshoot seem to suggest it won't be exactly the same as the original run in 2016. On one hand, I want to see Rimi play Himari at this point in the story, because she was only brought in later. On the other, I want to see how Namio will do as Himari, too.

>>34160801
You're probably better off avoiding fansubs

Comfy sweaters

>>34161211

Reminding you of this

Non-chan's fingers

>>34161520
I want Ms. Aina Aiba to do things to me.

>>34161546
Like punishing you?

>>34161627
Yes.

Why are teachers so sexy

I wish I could go to Sae's solo live...

>>34161687
But then it wouldn't be a punishment

>>34161520
They should do it again, but AiAi does a japanese class while the others pretend they only know english

>>34160320
She is extremely sexy, I'm feeling lonely from the time she went on a lovey-dovey date with her male manager though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwT3nynd78s

>>34158320

>>34162084
How is she younger than me, but looks older than me? Makeup is crazy...

I hope Non-chan's agency start making photobooks of her before she gets too old

>>34162252
same

>>34162252
yeah but imagine a 30+ kanon with armpit stubble and slightly saggy breasts

>>34162205
What is she gonna do to them?

>>34162084
she looks fun enough to be around but I have to wonder, how does she make a living?
I assume she does modelling on the side or something?

>>34162687
beat them up for being stupid sisters and confusing her with ponzu

>>34162687
Teach them a lesson

https://youtu.be/SbCQ9kq8xGo

>>34162954
That's fake, Amita can't draw that good

>>34162624
What about a 40+ widow Non-chan

>>34162954
seems difficult to recognize her as amita for many people

>>34163174
gon get akeshanish

>>34162687
Touch their chests

>>34162954
Amita's such a dork

Miku used to be hot and sexy. What happened

>>34163630
Nothing, she's still hot

>>34163630
I never thought she was "hot and sexy" like Moeshi, but she's still cute like she's always been.

>>34163630
she still is, now she just has shorter hair

>>34163682
Same, I've never really found her "sexy" in the traditional sense, even in her swimsuit shoots. Very pretty though, I love her jawline

>>34163622
Her mouth in that last part

Reo looking at the ceiling

Oyu used to not be Hot and Sexy. What happened?

>>34164652
bit of confidence does wonders

>>34164689
She's still ugly tho lmao

One day Amane will be hot and sexy, but when?

>>34164652
Beauty secrets shared from the other Hibiki girls

>>34164738

>>34164689

>>34164652
Yuka has great, toned thighs/legs. I know the Japanese rave about them at least.

>>34164855
Thanks for making me throw up again

>>34165017
Mimu best

>>34165017
Oyu’s legs aren’t that good looking anon... prove me otherwise

>>34169992

>>34168447
I'm still patiently waiting for a picture of her eating a popsicle or something.

>>34170382
A corndog

>>34170438
I already know a bushi seiyuu that's done that a couple of times already...

I love Kanon and her cute way of drinking water.

Even Haru-chan and Hi-chan, but still not Amita

>>34170641
Thanks, I can use this later.

>>34170646
guess simply still cant meet

>>34165017
I know I should be looking at Oyu's thighs but I'm distracted by Kanon's surprisingly well-shaped legs

Harmoe should invite Kumachi to their bear show

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsBWUPXvqAY
Aiai is insanely hot in this

>>34172908
Explain why

>>34173392
not the same anon but Aiai is always hot

>>34173392
I can't explain but her sweater does things to me

>>34170641
I just realized
What the fuck is that outer shirt

>>34174130
She's been wearing those shoulder pull-over things a lot recently, they're kind of cute. I have no clue what they're called though

>>34175663
I still want more solo Hibiki Style videos of Tonopi, especially the healthy cooking series where she gets to show off her nutritional knowledge

>>34176060
Should have Tsumu cooking the cup ramen she likes so much too

>her iM@S songs are kino while her solo songs are all generic and boring
It's not fair Aimin bros...

>>34177189
Cmon now anon. Aimi wrote the lyrics. Be supportive of Aimi’s efforts

>>34177189
"Link" is my favorite aimi song. I didn't even know who is aimi when until a few years later since i first hear this song.

>>34177189
I like the new songs. ReSTARTING!! is very catchy, MAYDAY has that dramatic vibe and ラブレター is a nice ballad.
I've been listening to them pretty much on repeat since the CD came out.

>>34177189
I still haven't listened to her recent solo releases

Amita's latest make-up video was very interesting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnH8HOZR4kE

>>34177189
yeah, Julia is really cool

>>34170646
no tsumu? want aimitsumu to get more intimate

>>34179288
No Tsumu, only Tono

>>34179345
needs more stimulus for her

>>34179690
Maho-nee doesn't look too good in that makeup...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQugFqVBpfU
AiAi + Wakana + male hibiki

>>34180586
Disliked

>>34180595
he can take aiai, I'll take wakana all for myself

>>34178519
I hope her female fanbase grows

The usual Tsumu

>>34180586
Wakana looks super pretty with that outfit and hair. Her smile always cheers me up

https://twitter.com/040707_0707/status/1380541747386671107
This tweet about that Kaorin vid got pretty viral

>>34180971
maybe she shows off for the camera but I still think she has a drinking problem

>>34180743
the this of what? perhaps missed something interesting?

>>34180961
she doesn't look her age at all.
having the smile of an angel at all times helps.

>>34181217
Tsumu looks weird there

>>34181816
weird filters and the twintails make her head look too big

>>34181749
very cute bushi-adjacent alcoholic

>>34181749
Does 1 beer get her wasted?

>>34181816
shuri lookalike

>>34181777
神

>>34181777
and they're late to start

I think it's really cute that RAYCHELL likes all tweets with her show's hashtag

>>34181937
she's quite excited, it's her first solo live in years as far as I can tell.
I like that she got another chance at a career in this industry, not everyone in her position is that lucky, but I'm thankful for the ones fortunate enough to work like this.

>>34181777
Why are they running, is this some punishment game?

>>34182731
I don't know, but watching aimi run is kinda yabai actually

https://www.tiktok.com/@aytr0401/video/6949484442394037505

cute teru smile

Cuties

>girl chugs a beer

Go outside more, anon

Aimi's appearance on Anige Eleven was a good watch. She gives some insight into her writing process and also flirts a bit with Azumi Waki.
