For more than two thousand years palm trees have been extraordinarily popular in both the East and the West. Regardless of continent, religion, or culture, palms tell stories of wealth, peace, and salvation. No other motif conveys this promise of good fortune and happiness as convincingly as the palm tree does. Omnipresent in advertising and social media, it conjures up notions of luxury, the jet set, and eternal sunshine in the secular world, representing a modern Garden of Eden. Nor are visual arts resistant to its visual allure and metaphorical power. Keeping this rich cultural heritage in mind, the companion catalogue to the exhibition Paradise is Now shows the many ways that palm trees are depicted in contemporary art. But what is behind the popularity of this emblem? Which layers of meaning and what kinds of contradictions are revealed in the wake of this artistic exploration? Besides texts by Bret Easton Ellis, Robert Grunenberg, Leif Randt, and Norman Rosenthal, the publication features works by John Baldessari, Marcel Broodthaers, Rodney Graham, Secundino Hernández, David Hockney, Alicja Kwade, Sigmar Polke, Ed Ruscha, and Rirkrit Tiravanija.Exhibition: 26.4.–30.6.2018

Yukiko Shiina Sakurazawa & Kon Okuma [DUO]
Tumblr media
Release date: May 01, 2024 Catalog no. zappak-013
[Tracklist]  1. Part 1 [13:47]  2. Part 2 [06:39]  3. Part 3 [14:02]  4. Part 4 [04:37]  5. Part 5 [15:18]
Excerpt: https://soundcloud.com/zappak/zappak-013
Yukiko Shiina Sakurazawa: double bass Kon Okuma: double bass
Recorded live at Ftarri, Tokyo, Japan on January 6, 2024. Recorded by Ftarri Directed, edited, and mixed by Leo Okagawa
---
Yukiko Shina Sakurazawa is a double bass player who is mainly active in the field of classical music. Kon Okuma, on the other hand, is a double bass player who mainly works in the jazz field. However, the both also occasionally perform improvisations at a venue "Ftarri". So, wondering what would happen if these two people with different backgrounds performed together, zappak planned an event. Sakurazawa mainly used an approach using a bow, while Okuma mainly used an approach using fingers and tools like sticks. The sound of the two of them was sometimes silent, other times eloquent, and they continued to weave their sounds together, never leaving each other. It seemed like a journey for people from different worlds to find a common language.
On the day of the event, we performed two impromptu performances of around 30 minutes each. But there were a few changes in the middle, so in this work, zappak divided them into 5 parts and put them rearranged.
櫻澤シーナ有紀子は主にクラシックなどのフィールドで活動するコントラバス奏者。対する大熊紺は主にジャズのフィールドで活動するコントラバス奏者。しかしながら、二人はともにFtarriというヴェニューにおいて不定期に即興演奏をおこなっている身でもある。そこで、バックグラウンドの異なるこの二人が共演するとどのようなことが起こるのだろうと思い、zappakはイベントを企画した。 櫻澤は主に弓を使用したアプローチをとり、大熊は主に指弾きと棒などの道具などを使用したアプローチをとった。二人による音はときに寡黙に、また���るときは雄弁に、付かず離れずを繰り返しながら音を紡いでいった。それは異なる世界の者たちが共通言語を見つけるまでの軌跡のようであった。
なお、当日は30分前後の即興演奏を2度おこなったが、何度か転調のようなものが感じられたため、本作では5つのパートに分割し、それらを並べ替えた録音を収録している。

Tumblr media
Upon entering university, he got a double bass and started playing jazz. After that, through various double bass players, he became attracted to the possibilities of a double bass, which is ubiquitous in the fields of music and non-music. After graduating from university, he moved to Tokyo and occasionally performs. 大学進学と同時にコントラバスを手にし、ジャズを始める。その後、多様なコントラバス奏者を通して音楽や音楽でないものの領域で偏在/遍在するコントラバスの可能性に惹かれていく。大学卒業後、東京に居を移し折に触れて演奏活動を行う。 www.instagram.com/okumakon/

Comments regarding the Smoking Group on a board.
Tumblr media
11 original members of Onyanko Club
Tumblr media
Core members of Onyanko Club as of December 1985 Top: Iwai Yukiko, Takai Mamiko, Kokushō Sayuri, Yoshizawa Akie Bottom: Kawai Sonoko, Fukunaga Satomi, Nitta Eri
78 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2005/03/19(Sat) 00:11:16 ID: K1fbNjmo If the smoking group had stayed, Nitta Eri, Nakajima Miharu and others would have quit early. Onyanko Club must clearly have gone in a different direction.
86 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2005/03/19(Sat) 04:38:41 ID: WnQ5ePHb
78 If so, the subsequent history of idols might have changed.
88 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2005/03/19(Sat) 15:04:50 ID: MZZT3ycd The smoking group said there was a girl who just happened not to be there, but who? Was it Nitta Eri?
91 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2005/03/19(Sat) 15:30:50 ID: XFbGluWa It mighta been Nagoya Mika. However, she and Kihara Aki were the ones who might say, "I hate cigarette smoke and smell!" They seem to have gotten along well with the smoking group, though.
92 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2005/03/19(Sat) 15:53:00 ID: Zpf6IJdZ It seems like a good fit for Tomoda Mamiko to smoke Virginia Slims or Salem Menthol, and for Enokida Michiko to smoke Cabin Mild. As far as Yoshino Kayoko is concerned, it seems like a good fit for her to smoke Mild Seven, while squatting like a yankee(slang for delinquent girl.)
102 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2005/03/20(Sun) 01:54:04 ID: 5YX4jnM9 I don't think Kawai Sonoko has changed a lot. Considering the smoking group's photos and profiles, they look like DQNs(The slang term DQN means a person who behave in an insane and thoughtless manner. He or she has no decency and class in appearance, word or deed.) But Nitta Eri also looks like a DQN. The rest of the members look rather well-bred.
104 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2005/03/20(Sun) 02:05:42 ID: 8bZ8adzm
102 I agree. From what I see in the photos, the smoking group seems to have a bad vibe. The rest of the members seem to be young ladies who grew up in normal families. In the case of Nitta Eri, she's a little something different, though. Be that as it may, I feel blatantly incongruent with the smoking group.
Tomoda Mamiko, Fukunaga Satomi, Kawai Sonoko, and Tomikawa Harumi are high on my list. Yoshino Kayoko and Kihara Aki are okay. Okuda Mika ain't so bad, but I don't like her expression in her eyes. Enokida Michiko, Nitta Eri, and Nagoya Mika look old. Utsumi Kazuko also looks old, but she has class, so she's okay. Nakajima Miharu, Kokushō Sayuri, and Satō Mayumi are country bumpkins, no matter how you look at them.
110 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2005/03/20(Sun) 18:21:39 ID: 7IN/WR33 Someone who auditioned for the role of the Mitsui Re-House Lady on the variety show Asayan. Was it Enokida Michiko, membership number 2?
112 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2005/03/20(Sun) 21:56:01 ID: 7IN/WR33 That was in 1997. The actress Ikewaki Chizuru was a Re-House Girl. At that time, they recruited an elder sister on the show as a Re-House Lady. Enokida said as one of the applicants, "About 12 years ago from now, I got fired from Onyanko Club for a smoking photo. I wanna redeem my honor".
113 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2005/03/20(Sun) 22:18:22 ID: oHmH+ACc  |-`). I'm pretty sure no one thought that a single cigarette would make their lives so crazy.
114 Name: No Name Whatsoever [age] Posted Date: 2005/03/21(Mon) 00:48:05 ID: qnT/1DlX If Kihara was smoking, she shoulda been fired too.
115 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2005/03/21(Mon) 01:01:56 ID: NtoEIcWK Trade kihara for Tomoda!
124 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2005/03/21(Mon) 21:48:22 ID: mv2gwG/P I've personally ranked the girls of the smoking group.
Tomoda Mamiko >>>>>> Yoshino Kayoko > Okuda Mika > > Enokida Michiko >>>>>>>>>>>>> Satō Mayumi
127 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted date: 2005/03/22(Tue) 10:54:33 ID: AReURzpL
112 "About 12 years ago from now, I got fired from Onyanko Club for a smoking photo" "I wanna redeem my honor" she said on TV?
That's what it says on Enokida's own resume, and that resume was read by the Comedy duo 99's Okamura Takashi. Then she made a video appearance, but said very little.
129 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2005/03/22(Tue) 15:21:23 ID: U0Q408FM It was Enokida Michiko, membership number 2. I was able to clearly confirm that she was the one cuz I had videotaped the show. It was in December 1997 that she was introduced on the show. She made a video appearance in february of the following year.
She was asked, "What membership number did you have?" She replied with a laugh, "Number 2, number 2!" She was quite beautiful.
367 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2005/05/01(Sun) 11:29:31 ID: BLFFbcB4 Why wasn't Kihara Aki fired?
371 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2005/05/01(Sun) 14:19:17 ID: Z1DoEswE I think it's because Kihara insisted that she hadn't smoked. But I do think she was the type of girl who hated cigarette smoke.
372 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2005/05/01(Sun) 14:45:12 ID: Ut3S+k9B Whether she smoked or not, the fact that she was there is the problem.
373 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2005/05/01(Sun) 15:42:19 ID: Z1DoEswE It was written in the official book at the time that out of the five members of the smoking group, three were suspended from high school and one was expelled. They had it coming, but it's so harsh to be fired from Onyanko Club and expelled from school.
382 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2005/05/02(Mon) 03:51:56 ID: QkKlggCU Nagata Ruriko wasn't shown in the Yūyake Nyan Nyan DVDs, since she didn't give permission for the DVDs. However, the girls who left Onyanko Club halfway through including the smoking group members were shown in the DVDs. Does that mean they all gave permission? If that's the case, I'm surprised the show's staff was able to track them down. But if you look closely, among the smoking group, Yoshino Kayoko was the only one who didn't have any conversations or close-ups, so they mightn't have been able to locate her.  Unexpectedly, Nagata's case might also have been that they simply couldn't find her.
462 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2005/06/28(Tue) 05:58:31 ID: W5xTxejt The smoking group members seem to have had bad personalities.
463 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2005/07/08(Fri) 22:05:38 ID: M7hBJ1hR I don't know what their actual personalities were. They were high school girls appearing on TV, but at the same time, they were smoking cigarettes in a public place without hesitation. It made me feel a bit that their IQ was pretty low. 
671 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2006/06/06(Tue) 11:47:20 ID: hNs6ivFs How reliable are the followings?
Okuda Mika - auditioned in 1992, now a housewife, actually a single mother Yoshino Kayoko - magazine cover Tomoda Mamiko - winner of a women's magazine knitwear award, bar proprietress for a while, now a housewife Satō Mayumi - Miss Ice Cream Teramoto Yōko - retired after marriage in 1996 Gomioka Tamaki - finished the recording.  Yajima Yūko - Doctor Ōnuki Kaori - worked at a BDSM club
None of them are credible, and all of them smell fishy. I'm not sure how many of these are true.
706 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2006/07/21(Fri) 21:17:19 ID: OvC+4ymj The most DQN member was Okuda Mika?
768 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2006/11/10(Fri) 08:37:23 ID: uFVwuCFx I heard that among the smoking group, Okuda Mika and Tomoda Mamiko were working as dominatrices at BDSM clubs, is that true?
770 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2006/11/10(Fri) 10:17:21 ID: x/YsZUak
768 I don't know about Tomoda, but I've heard about Okuda. Some say that she started a Dial Q2 related company with the money she earned from being a dominatrix.
845 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2007/08/27(Mon) 01:17:52 ID: HlFmiDRW I think the highest quality girl among the smoking group was Tomoda Mamiko. If she'd stayed, she mighta become a core Onyanko among the early members.
858 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2007/09/05(Wed) 05:04:46 ID: SdQfNIhx It seems that the manager of Pink House in Harajuku, where my elder sister used to work part-time, was Satō Mayumi, membership number 10. She was a pretty yankee manager, and she used to yell at the clerks as loud as she could when sales were low. She made my elder sister go mad within a week.
859 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2007/09/05(Wed) 08:10:51 ID: mmzH3WhN
858 Oh! I read somewhere on the board that she had worked at a clothing store, but it was Pink House.
Satō Mayumi, Membership number 10, had the best interaction with Tsuru-chan(comedian Kataoka Tsurutarō's nickname).
Tsuru-chan asked her, "Is it true that you and Nitta don't get along?" She angrily replied, "It's not that I don't get along with Nitta, it's just that we don't fit well in terms of personality!" I thought Satō was a true yankee. At that moment, Nitta and her best friend Nakajima Miharu looked completely terrified.
860 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2007/09/05(Wed) 14:25:21 ID:QBzGsO7F Satō was badass! But I'm surprised she was involved in Pink House… I don't know if she was really a yankee or not.
861 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2007/09/07(Fri) 01:06:31 ID: 5QPwdtaD
858 I really miss Satō Mayumi. She always wore baggy, tacky clothes, didn't she? That's all I remember. 859 In an interview with Bomb!, an idol magazine, Nitta said that she didn't get along with the stylish girls of the smoking group from the very beginning. She was talking with Nakajima every day about when they should quit. I don't know if Satō's comment was the trigger or not.
862 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2007/09/07(Fri) 09:37:02 ID: suqG+TTY Satō Mayumi… her hair style was pretty shaggy, wasn't she?
Was there any truth to the rumor that she had once been a model? I heard that her participation in the Miss Ice Cream Contest was a mere gossip though.
865 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2007/09/09(Sun) 22:48:46 ID: yB/z48SY Okuda's face looks completely different between her Onyanko days and Playmate days. She was a little chubby and cute when she was a Onyanko girl. When she went nude, she was slim and beautiful. 3 years was enough to transform her so drastically.
Is she still working at Shimamura(home improvement store)?
867 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2007/09/13(Thu) 21:51:33 ID: yGm1uCyQ Not really something to brag about. But can I brag about it?
I was in the same class as Satō Mayumi in junior high school. At that time, she was more mature rather than a yankee. She had more male friends than female friends. There was a junior high school reunion the other day, but I couldn't make it cuz I had to accompany my wife on an errand. I heard that Satō attended the reunion. According to my friend who was there, Satō said self-mockingly, "I quit smoking after the birth of my child". She seems to have chatted openly with the guys around her. However, she adamantly refused to be photographed. I should also have attended there, then secretly photographed her.
Sorry for the long story.
870 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2007/09/18(Tue) 01:55:45 ID: z3CmAErI I'm pretty sure Tomoda Mamiko was the baddest girl among the smoking group! It's fucking awesome that there was such a smoking hot high school girl back then! I don't think it's appropriate to compare the two, but the country bumpkin Nitta Eri musta just smelled of piss. I guess Enokida and Yoshino's pussies stank enough.
872 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2007/09/18(Tue) 06:55:54 ID: beZ0KuzN Why did the fugly Kihara Aki stay so brazenly in Onyanko Club despite she was also in the photo?
873 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2007/09/18(Tue) 07:28:22 ID: jdSgYggv She insisted that she'd just been there. In addition, it helped that she had a relative who was an executive at the TV station, so she only had to refrain from appearing on the show for about two weeks. I'm pretty sure the smoking group was fucking pissed off. "Why were we the only ones fired?"
874 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2007/09/19(Wed) 11:48:23 ID: 703P+c0I Kihara was a fucking cunt.
875 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2007/09/19(Wed) 12:51:01 ID: 50Zdhv2S Among them was a member who was fired, even though it was only her skirt or something in the photo. And I heard that some of them were expelled from high school as well. It's so misery that they got fired from Onyanko Club and also from school.
876 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2007/09/19(Wed) 15:01:48 ID: yQQulp7U I've never liked or disliked Kihara, but after reading the respond number 873, I became to loathe her.
878 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2007/09/19(Wed) 17:03:33 ID: weZvtvU/ There was a rumor that the members of the smoking group would get together from time to time and bitched about Kihara.
879 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2007/09/19(Wed) 17:07:01 ID: weZvtvU/ By the way, due to the connections, Kihara was given the opportunity to have a regular column published in the idol magazine DUNK. Although her writings weren't particularly interesting.
886 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2007/11/13(Tue) 14:59:37 ID: PLHC5DjT Kihara became a member of Onyanko Club because of her uncle's connections. She was too different from the rest of the members. That means the reason she became a model before Onyanko Club was also because of her uncle's connections, wasn't it?
891 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2007/11/16(Fri) 00:45:59 ID:MQS+8HRl
886 Even though Kihara's uncle had connections with Fuji TV, it was incomprehensible that they let that bitch join Onyanko Club. Was her uncle such a guy in a powerful position? Apparently, he couldn't understand that his niece’s face wasn’t at all suitable for an idol.
911 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2013/07/14(Sun) 02:32:55.21 ID: 4u+MF/Sd The only thing I remember for sure is that Okuda Mika said at the time, "Kokushō Sayuri, she's a fucking cunt!" I was too busy with my part-time job to watch Yūyake Nyan Nyan, but Okuda and I were seated next to each other at Kurume High School.
912 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2013/07/14(Sun) 03:04:16.22 ID:fHHL6Y/u Nagoya Mika got scared when Tomoda Mamiko glared at her.
913 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2013/07/14(Sun) 07:50:59.50 ID:K1s0GEVO
911 Okuda repeated her junior year of high school, didn't she? She got fired shortly thereafter for smoking and then revived for nudity. Was she not a slut by any stretch of the imagination? 912 I see that one of the smoking group members was more strong-minded than Nagoya. I find it scary. Tomoda was particularly a standout girl, wasn't she?
914 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2013/07/14(Sun) 13:37:55.64 ID:PvZ9X9N6 But Tomoda was apparently being stalked by weird guys back then. She seems to have said so on the show.
915 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2013/07/14(Sun) 13:51:30.50 ID:rA94brOF Relationships among the earliest members of Onyanko Club.
Smoking Group Boss: Tomoda Mamiko Core members: Okuda Mika, Enokida Michiko, Yoshino Kayoko, Satō Mayumi Lower position members: Kihara Aki, Nagoya Mika
Separate Group A: Nitta Eri, Nakajima Miharu Separate Group B: Kokushō Sayuri, Fukunaga Satomi
I guess it woulda been something like this.
916 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2013/07/14(Sun) 19:40:03.57 ID:77KCyQig If the smoking group had stayed, it's possible that Onyanko Club's record debut would have been ruined. In a sense, Onyanko Club is now a legend because the smoking group got fired at the perfect time.
917 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2013/07/15(Mon) 18:43:58.12 ID:K0rkqFHf Utsumi Kazuko was threatened by Okuda Mika and Tomoda Mamiko as soon as she joined Onyanko Club.
918 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2013/07/17(Wed) 11:41:13.97 ID:ypvunTr5 If the five members of the smoking group had stayed, would Kokushō have kept hiding in the background? If the others had backed Kokushō, would they have confronted the smoking group?
919 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2013/07/26(Fri) 13:38:42.82 ID:OQtBOjR0 Tomoda Mamiko was said to look like the actress Tanaka Yūko. She was beautiful, prominent, and probably a bossy character. Had she stayed, 1985 might have been a very different year. Although Takai Mamiko and Kawai Sonoko stood out as core members that year.
921 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2013/07/30(Tue) 09:17:44.70 ID:yhijufIO Well, if the smoking group had dominated, the current legend of Onyanko Club would never be what it is today. "When he asks me out on a date, it's no fun if I don't give him my virginity♪" (Note that this is a line from the lyrics of the infamous Onyanko Club song "Don't Make Me Take Off My Sailor Uniform".) Some members of the smoking group wouldn't have been virgins any longer.
922 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2013/07/30(Tue) 09:21:50.50 ID:yhijufIO The girls of the smoking group mocked the country bumpkin Nitta Eri. But they've been mocked ever since they got fired, to this day. You never know what will happen in life, do you?
924 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2013/07/30(Tue) 14:30:34.15 ID:5+rj9y5g Tomoda Mamiko also looked like the early Moritaka Chisato. She was a talented girl too good to be fired. It was all right for the smoking group members to have been fired, except for Tomoda, but I wanted only her to stay.
925 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2013/07/30(Tue) 18:59:14.08 ID:kpis8x5d Tomoda was considered to be very beautiful, but was she really that beautiful? Okuda was more beautiful than Kokushō in the beauty contest on the TV show "high school girl special", though.
926 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2013/07/31(Wed) 19:11:47.86 ID:lRbXjlcG If Okuda had stayed, she would have become popular along with Nitta. Since Okuda seems to have loathed Kokushō, she might have joined Nitta's group. Or would Nitta have become Okuda's minion?
927 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2013/08/01(Thu) 00:17:15.98 ID:5W48DB8p If the smoking group hadn't been fired, Okuda Mika would have been a popular member. Yoshino Kayoko was suitable for Nyangilas both in terms of looks and personality. (Note that Nyangilas was the most insincere and unorthodox subgroup in Onyanko Club, which could only be described as making fun of people. Its members were Tatsumi Rika, Kihara Aki, Nagoya Mika, and Shiraishi Mako.) Tomoda Mamiko was more of a beautiful sister character than an idol. Enokida Michiko and Satō Mayumi would have had no special characteristics.
930 Name: No Name Whatsoever [] Posted Date: 2013/08/07(Wed) 09:53:28.13 ID:dxbRG1s9 The earliest members of Onyanko Club seem to have been more of a bunch of yankee high school girls rather than amateurs.
932 Name: No Name Whatsoever [sage] Posted Date: 2013/08/08(Thu) 00:00:40.33 ID:yrozPyla All Nighters would have been legendary. If the smoking group could have been legendary. However, a number of rumors, which may or may not be true about the smoking group, have persisted to this day. This is due to the popularity of Onyanko Club. The members of the smoking group themselves have no value.

[STAR:LOG] MEMBER P 08/08/2022 01:08am
Hellooo
It’s been so long that I’m finding it awkward to use this app😭 I hope everyone is staying hydrated and healthy in this heat - as you can see its 01:08am rn so I’m not handling it too well at the moment 😞👊🏼
Unfortunately I haven’t had much time to utilise my summer too much and have mostly been practicing or working on things so I don’t have much to update you all on but we have been working on another song for Over:Ture Logs 🎉
Tumblr media
You may have also noticed on our company’s page that we have a third member that will be revealed soon :)) It’s so refreshing to have levelled up from a duo to a group during dance training now hehe - I’m not an impatient person but it’s very satisfying to see things moving forward.
Me and MEMBER K spent time in London for our group’s company audition promo video recently and it was tiring, I’m surprised I managed to smile in that heat😭 (we were running and dancing outside for the majority of the day - if that doesn’t build up my stamina, idk what will…🙂) We also went to a festival together last week which was really fun (except for the part where I got on the wrong train home and almost ended up in Brighton 🚨don’t recommend travelling on trains during a strike🚨)
Tumblr media
As it’s so warm, I have prepared a few Summer song recommendations to refresh you :) Thank you for still sticking with us so far, it’s truly appreciated and you are always on our minds 💛

@himerasu  ♡ed for a starter
The “Little Tokyo” section in Codes Ward was the perfect location for a Japan obsessed girl like her. The Food-Area was already very interesting on it’s own, but there were also many different shops around! That’s when the long blonde haired girl suddenly got the idea: She could look for some J-Dramas DVDs, if she’d look around closer. That would certainly be the best way to get by these cold and boring winter days! As soon as she found a store that selled electronics, movies and games, the princess of course moved right to the movie shelves. After browsing through them for a while, she found some maybe interesting murder mysteries, but not even one of her most beloved genre. What a shame. But that was when she noticed that a girl, about her age and right next to her, also browsed the same shelf already for a while tooo.  
Tumblr media
“Excuse me, did you find by chance any J-Dramas around here? I would love to get some for myself over he holidays, but it seems like none can be found around here... What a pity. Perhaps you look for something special as well?”

( ;; @himerasu ) 
It felt somewhat strange seeing another wear a school uniform on this island. Sayo has learned that enough people wandering here attended academies previously, but chose to discard the attire. Then there were those that still wore uniforms, though Sayo was unable to identify them. So, seeing a girl wear the outfit was a bit unexpected. 
Tumblr media
“Were you committed to your studies?” She said, attempting to not frighten the other. It was just a general question that she wished to know the answer of.

Yukiko reference sheet : Childhood
Tumblr media
「 雪子 中村 | YUKIKO NAKAMURA 」 🌺 Yukiko was born the 12/29 in Land of Iron (Samurai Country) of the year following Naruto’s birth. Which makes her almost two years younger than Gaara (01). She is tiny for her age. 🌺 Her father is the leader of the Nakamura clan. As a daimyo her father has quite the tyrant reputation. Her clan is infamous all around the world for their obsession for « pure blood ». 🌺 Yukiko is albino, when the clan’s Dean had claimed she would be the clan’s heir. When she saw the albino baby she understood she would be the clan’s undoing. 🌺 Her immediately rejected her. Her albinism questions Yukiko’s legitimacy. Why doesn’t she have the vibrant blue hair and caramel skin? Her father was about to « put an end to her misery » but a servant begged for the baby’s life. She just had a son, Tiago, 10 days before. She could then feed. So she became Yukiko’s wet nurse. She was to raise the little girl far away from the rest of the clan. Yukiko was outcasted in a red hood, not allowed to wear the blue colour of her clan. 🌺 Because of her condition it was unsure the baby would make it and each winter she survived surprised everyone. 🌺 Yukiko and Tiago were raised like twins. Luludja tried to give them values. Even if they were raised equally there was always a rivalry between the 2. Tiago was a troubled child, an outcast with no father and was very envious of her. Hard for him to « share » his mom. 🌺 As much as they were inseparable their relationship was rocky. The Dean once said : « Like the Sun & Moon for one to rise the other must fall. »

What's the relationship between Marie and Adachi ??
In canon, there's really not a lot to say about them. But with the crumbs I've gathered, it's pretty interesting to see how they see the other.
In the game, they don't…. actually interact or meet. But in the voice actor interview in the JP exclusive "Mariko's Room," when Marie tries to associate with Adachi, all she says is "Ame-no-Sagiri was inside this person, huh?"
For context about Mariko's Room: Marie, in character, interviews the voice actors themselves while she makes comments based on how she was associated with the VA's character in the story. Like calling Yukiko and Chie "Red and Green" or Kanji "Old Timer"...Yes she interviewed Kana Hanazawa too, it was funny. But I haven't found a English sub of that so...darn.
youtube
(00:21)
Handpicking from the Golden anime, it's nice to see she actually has a [painful] reaction when seeing him in the crowd showing that she's obviously affected by the presence of the power of Sagiri. Which is, y'know, Mimi's power.
Tumblr media
it's obviously strange that she didn't get affected beforehand during the concert itself but, eeh i said handpicked for a reason.
Tumblr media
Despite how much of a mess Arena is, too, and how sloppily they handled Marie (even as just a DLC), Adachi's reactions to her were peculiar. (For discussion, we'll ignore the plot of Arena and just assume this is post p4) Because of Marie regaining her power as the deity of Inaba's collective, it should be more apparent that she actually has power as compared to how weak she was before.
Instead of Adachi immediately talking down every girl he sees like usual, he treats Marie similar to the Velvet Room attendants; "not human" and "powerful" enough to actually warn other people about them.
Another fun tidbit is Adachi saying "If you're lost, try a police box" as if he was aware of Marie wandering around Inaba before bancho came to Inaba and she was taken in by Margaret to the Velvet Room. That he's seen the punk style dressed girl wandering aimlessly around the city.
youtube
(01:44, 04:34)
Now, in a general hypothetical sense, I think they'd be good friends. The "Tsunderes with Shit Bangs" club
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Adachi doesn't really have the inclination to make fun of Marie. And if he would he'd have to do it in a way he isn't smacked halfway through the universe
And with them synergizing as tsunderes of their general feelings I don't think they'd be too embarrassed of each other since they know the other won't say anything about it. Hence why I think Marie would let Adachi in on her poems for his opinion.
There's more to it but I have more shitposts down the line since idk how to explain it now kjfashldgfags
and, uh, i have au stuff down there, so, if u want to 👉👈
So jokes aside,
Going through the same torment of believing oneself to be irredeemable, thus refusing to be saved now that they're so deep into that mindset. Closing their minds to the other opportunities that would actually benefit everyone. Straight up lying about their desires and covering it up with consequences instead.
I've....rewritten the Magatsu Inaba arc (spoilers ooo it was never Magatsu ooooo i wonder who made it that way oooo) so yeah. Adachi's develops in a way he's come to actually adore Inaba as his home, but despises himself for everything that's happened.

Holing up in a world that lies to himself about his own heart and telling Souji not to save him because of how disgusting he really is as the world presents itself. Pushing Souji away and telling him he's such a stupid kid for believing in the "Adachi" of his own making that he ended up hurting himself. That Adachi believes he's been a heartless man and will never be able to change. That if Souji ever "saves" him, the boy would have to live with the guilt of letting an empty husk that did nothing but everything for his own entertainment continue living. All completely ignoring his own development that's happened within the year. or maybe he. forgot. heh. hehe.h. hehehefnnbgbgnbnbsgngng
While Marie attempts to push Souji away because she's Nothing, that she will have to return to Nothing. She has absorbed the fog everyone knows to be harmful to human life as it turns people into their Shadows. That she is meant to die in order to save them all. She insists she "hates" Inaba, Okina, the IT and everything she's lived through. Spitting venom just to push her loved ones away to stop saving her life or the world will end.
But Adachi wants his bonds. Marie wants the life she made for herself. And Souji manages to give them what they want. The desires they've been hiding.
and you know what happens when you hide your true self. haha. haha h/gets run over/
In the au, there's a lot that happens between them when they first meet and work towards a common goal. Trying to save not one, but two gray-haired people that aren't senior citizens. With all the socially inept people Adachi's had to deal with, I doubt he'd have a hard time comprehending Marie. In fact, she could remind him of someone he knows at this point.
Though after this I don't actually plan on making them interact major plotwise. Anyway, post p4 where she visits in his cell with the moldy tatami mats sometimes. But not as often as another certain someone.

13. Marie
Philemon seems to enjoy seeing his Wild Cards live on with their lives…
insp.
Persona 4 Golden X FeMC!Reader
> . . .
05/01/SUN-Early morning | Shopping District, South
With a wallet packed full with money, you strolled through the shopping district. Even though it was slightly cloudy, the weather was pleasant as people still roamed about the district.
From beside you, Izanami looked at the list that she wrote down herself. “So we’re starting with your books...”
“I finished them all in one night.” You said to her, remembering how your knowledge improved despite your eye bags.
“Then we see new weapons in Daidara’s shop.”
"Chie and Yukiko need to catch up."
"And... You need ingredients to make the boxed lunches."
You sighed but you didn't oppose the Dojimas idea that you were making the boxed lunches. Nanako was too excited for the long weekend and even Dojima wanted to spend time with his daughter. Even if you hadn't known them for long, you wanted to try and get them to bond together soon. You had thought to follow Nanako's suggestion and go to Junes instead so you wouldn't cook but you feared that Dojima wouldn't like to listen to the catchy tune over and over again.
Seeing the bookstore, you walked towards it but stopped when you spotted a familiar girl walking outside. She held a book in her hands and by the look of her eyes, she seemed excited by it.
"Marie?" You said to her. She yelped at your call, fumbling over her book rather comically before hiding it behind her back. Her face was flushed deeply with red as she regarded you with a glare.
"Wh-What are you doing surprising me all of a sudden?!" She screeched, not caring about the bystanders watching. "S-Stupid! You're stupid! I hate you!"
You blinked at her outburst before looking down at her book. "I didn't know you know the concept of buying stuff."
One of her eyebrows raised up. "B-Buy? What the heck is that?"
Your eyes widened. "You mean you stole that book?!"
As if on cue, the owner of the bookstore knocked on his window, mouthing some unintelligible words and pointing at Marie's book. If it wasn't for the glass window, you were sure that everyone in the area would hear his cussing.
"How could you have no money when I pay to remember Personas from Margaret?" You questioned her, already fishing out your wallet.
"How should I know?!" She replied back, stepping behind Izanami as if she could stop the man.
Izanami shook her head. "Good grief..."
---
"Don't you have a curfew when you go back to the Velvet Room?" You asked her once you resolved the stolen book problem. Even though the poem book was fairly inexpensive, it already made a dent on your finances just for the books.
Marie's face huffed even more. "What do you take me for? A kid?! Just so you know, I'm not gonna help you when you go back inside that stuffy car!"
You shrugged. "You were the one who had no concept of monetary value."
She choked but she didn't refute back. The poem book that had been the center of trouble was back in her hands, unscathed and paid for. You wondered if she liked to read or write poems.
Beside you, Izanami seemed to have vocalized your thoughts. "Do you like poetry, Marie?"
She stiffened from your Persona's question but her red blush gave her answer away.
"Not much to do in the car unless I come in, huh?" You said to her, lips quirking into a smirk at the thought of the three people inside the limousine just waiting for you to come back. Come to think of it, they had a bunch of drinks inside the vehicle-are they all adults then?
She clicked her tongue and looked away from you. “Don’t take words out of my mouth! It’s not like I wanted for you to come by!”
“Sure…” You drawled out. “Anyway, you want to join me on my shopping spree?”
Her blush slowly died down. “S-Shopping?”
Izanami nodded to the list that she’s holding. “We have quite a few things we need to get now that we have a new team member.”
Marie regarded her with a nod before crossing her arms. “Okay. And it’s not because I’m bored out of my mind waiting in the car.”
You chuckled at her response as you entered Daidara's shop with her. It was apparent that she's never been inside the shop, for her eyes widened at the sight of different weapons and armor that covered the walls. You continued to watch her childlike wonder before Daidara cleared his throat.
You turned to him, turning your back against Marie as you hauled your materials to his counter. "Oh, and Marie? Don't touch anything."
"What?"
Before you could repeat yourself, a crash followed and soon a feminine screech inside the shop.
Your eye twitched as you looked at Daidara with a grimace. "Would taking the most expensive weapons be enough for compensation?"
Behind you, Izanami sighed. "Good grief…"
05/01/SUN-Afternoon | Junes
You had considered your options for buying ingredients. On one hand, you wanted to support local businesses and their products...
On the other hand, maybe Nanako would be happy to hear that you made lunches out of ingredients from Junes.
You decided on the latter, Izanami dragging Marie as she tried to carry the bag of new weapons in one hand.
"What's this place now?" Marie asked you, looking around the underground grocery. Before anyone became suspicious, Izanami handed you the bag as you carried it on your back. The added weight made you groan but you continued on as you grabbed a cart.
"It's a grocery store." You replied to her, rolling the cart to the ingredients section. "I'm gonna cook for my family."
"Family?" Marie tested the word, almost sounding funny when you saw her struggling with it.
"Yeah," you said before realizing how awkward it would be to leave it at that, "is Margaret not like your relative or something?"
Marie shrugged, walking beside you in stride as she looked at the different types of miso paste brands. "She keeps annoying me so I don't think I want her as a relative."
"Huh…" You sighed out, getting the miso base as you went to another section of the store. "What's up with the Velvet Room anyway? Did you want to be inside a car for the rest of your life?"
You didn't hear her for a while except her boots tapping against the floor as your cart was steadily filling with ingredients. Marie was oddly quiet, so quiet that you and Izanami looked back at her. The girl looked like she was deep in thought, her eyebrows drawn in as though she was having an existential crisis.
Before you could ask her if she was okay, a familiar voice called your name. Yosuke was carrying a crate filled with canned tomato sauce as Jiraiya followed him, obviously bored out of his mind. Adorably enough, Jiraiya was wearing the same Junes apron. How did people not freak out over a floating apron, you didn't want to ask.
"What brings you here?" Yosuke asks you before heaving the heavy crate down on the floor. You winced when you heard an audible crack when he straightened his back.
"Just shopping to cook for Golden Week." You replied to him. "Work being too hard on you?"
He groaned tiredly. "No kidding. Just when I thought I can relax, there's a stupid sale that's happening just for the week."
You patted his back as an apology for the pain he experienced and many more in the upcoming week. 
"And what are you doing?" Izanami questioned Jiraiya, who was busy fiddling with his apron that surprisingly fitted him.
"Moral support." He said simply. "Can't really touch objects without people thinking Junes is haunted so I try my best. Besides, the apron looks good on me."
"Speaking of…" Izanami trailed off, looking at the apron. It was definitely not Asian size as it stretched to accommodate Jiraya's body. She wasn't aware that there were sizes that were big enough to fit an almost 7 ft. tall being.
"Y'know, you don't have to hide it." Jiraiya said, snapping her out of her thinking. "You'd look good in an apron. Or would you rather wear mine…?"
She let out an aggravated sigh before igniting her fingers with electricity and zapping Jiraiya's side. He let out a high-pitched yelp, his body convulsing before he squirmed away from the goddess. His scarf was burned to a degree as smoke emanated from his body.
"You never change." Izanami said dryly. "And how does the apron fit you? And how is anyone not screaming at the sight of a floating apron?"
Jiraiya made a sound in his throat, an alternative to how he doesn't seem to have a mouth. He then looked down at his apron, a hand lifting and fumbling at the fabric before letting it drop.
"I honestly don't know."
While the Personas were talking, Marie, who was busy watching you comfort a crying boy, went to watch the Personas. She walked over, arms crossed as she stared at the other Persona that belonged to Yosuke.
Jiraiya took notice of the new girl's stare and immediately floated over to her, a flirtatious line ready in him as he--
"Get away from me." Marie said to him in her absolute, most dead voice.
Jiraiya, currently shocked that she could see him, dropped down from his floating stance as he scrambled on the floor. The sight was surprising but comical to Izanami as she laughed at the sight of the ninja frog struggling to recover from the attack.
Hearing Jiraiya’s struggling sounds, you looked to where your Personas are. The sight of Izanami laughing at Jiraiya and Marie staring at the two of them.
“Wait—” Yosuke gasped out, looking at Marie. “She can see them?!”
“Weird story.” You said to him. “Anyway, you think you can ring me up with some ingredients?”
"Huh? O-Oh sure…"
He then led you towards the section that you needed, all the while conversing with you about plans for Golden Week. It soon spiralled into having a talk about personal things that you two like. You felt closer to Yosuke than before.
"Oh yeah… When did our Personas can touch stuff?"
"... No clue."
Persona Time
After walking Marie back home (and quickly explaining about Skill Cards), she plopped down on the sofa as she sighed from how tired she was. Feeling the book inside of her bag, she fished it out and stared at the hardbound cover.
"You seem to have enjoyed your day out."
She flinched then glared at Margaret, the woman looking at her with the annoying stare that she didn't like. It's the type of stare that it makes her feel like Margaret is prying at her secrets. She hates it.
"Shut up." She said to Margaret, not even bothering to put up a fight.
The elder woman chuckled, her nails tapping against the Persona Compendium in an elegant manner before speaking again. "I'll be willing to let you out more as long as you try not to make too much noise inside the room."
Marie choked before glaring at her.
"Like that."
Marie clicked her tongue before looking away. Grabbing her notebook and pencil from her bag, she angrily wrote on the paper, all the while muttering about a certain platinum-blonde woman.
Both Margaret and Igor stared at her, unamused of her usual antiques. They really can't wait for you to come by again.
