My Birthday was AMAZING... (╥‿╥)

A bit late, but here are updates on what happened during 8/20 - 8/21!

AUGUST 20:

I woke up and found out news that the next Bandori JP event/gacha was Roselia, and they had a new song. Basically, I turned "Sanctuary" on, and the minute the instruments REALLY kicked in, I started crying. 

Wow why does Roselia make me cry so much

Anyway, that night, my parents rented Avengers: Infinity War on Amazon Prime. It was a movie that we've been wanting to see for MONTHS now, and it was REALLY good.
It had some really hilarious scenes, but it was also really intense for most of the movie?? Like, kinda hard to watch-intense? It was really good, though!!
Don't worry, no spoilers here. 

AUGUST 21:

I woke up at 6:01 in the morning haha. I ran downstairs, and before doing my Bandori scout, I checked the kitchen and

 GASP
A...


AVENGERS!?

It was so crazy! I couldn't believe it was Avengers! I kept on whispering "AVENGERS" repeatedly it was good aaaaaa
 Afterwards, I did my scout. And I didn't screenshot it it because I was... so disappointed? HHW continues to curse me. Thief Kaoru, dupe Sakura Kokoro. :') It was a rainbow pull, though, so the 4* was actually Yukata Saya. She's really pretty, but all I wanted was Yukina. Even a *3 would have been amazing...
But I do love that Saya card so I won't complain...

After all that, I played some multiplayer FE:Fates with my Sister, and it was really fun.
Then once it was around 10 AM, I OPENED PRESENTS.
I took lots of pictures because it's all really amazing aaaaa 


 Fate Testarossa Plushie!
 She is SO freaking cute oh my god!! The expression is kinda emotionless and sad and SO FATE
And then because she's made by Good Smile Company, she has Nendoroid-features!?
You can move her hair up and down, her arms, and her legs! And Bardiche is a magnet!! A MAGNET!! He comes off and on and god, I LOVE THIS PLUSH SO MUCH??
I take her almost everywhere around the house with me. Right now, she's just sitting on the couch. (✿◠‿◠)
 Oh, uh, if anyone's wondering, Fate Testarossa is from the "Magical Girl Lyrical NANOHA" series. This plush is based off of her design in the 1st MOVIE. 



  
Fate Testarossa Nendoroid: Blaze Form Edition!

She's so cool!! This is based off of her Blaze Form featured in the MOVIE 2nd A's. And it's also from one of the greatest (and most emotional) scenes in the series... o(╥﹏╥)o
This is my 4th nendoroid, and my first one from a non-music series. Having her hold a sword, and putting on a cape was so new...
My other nendos are Nishikino Maki (Love Live!), Lily (VOCALOID), and Hachune Miku (VOCALOID).


 With the help of my Dad, he managed to get the cape on, and the stand. She looks so badass!!
I currently have her displayed on the table next to me. Her default expression is set right now, but she also came with an angry fighting expression (aka BADASS AS HELL 🔥), and a calm closed eyes expression (aka THE SCENE WHERE I CRY EVERYTIME). I'll probably change it up sometime, but I kinda love her default a lot. <3




Magical Girl Lyrical NANOHA The MOVIE 1st!

I watched this on Thursday with my Mom, and UMM... BADASS, AMAZING, EMOTIONAL, I LOVE, ALL THE FEELS
I originally first saw it on my tablet. So watching it on a TV was so cool?? I held onto Plush-Fate while we watched it. 
It was really awesome!! Aaa definitely one of the best movies of all-time... 
I love MGLN so much...
I'm so used to the fansubs though, so having TSAB as DAB was kinda weird, but funny.  And Arf as Alph was unexpected. I always thought it was "Arf" because dog. But it's actually Alph. I like the official much better, because Arf is kinda strange haha.
It's Wahhhhrio Tiiiiimee!! Uh, I mean...
Sushi Striker The Way of Sushido, and WarioWare Gold!!

These games are really fun! I ended up beating Wario in a single sitting, but I'm still working on Sushi Striker. WarioWare: Touched! was one of my first ever video games, so I've always loved the WarioWare series. Sushi Striker is pretty... uh, weird (lol) but it's fun and funny. I like it so far. I also like the OST. The Rival theme is my fave (though I hate Kojiro).


RWBY Manga, and RWBY Official Manga Anthology Vol.1: Red Like Roses!

The first pic, I couldn't resist. I was wearing my RWBY shirt so I HAD to take a picture. xD 
I enjoyed the manga, I think it's actually pretty canon. The art for battles was pretty cool, too! 
As for the Anthology, I think some chapters are funny/interesting. There's a couple of dumb chapters, though. My fave artist is Umiya. The chibis are so cute, I love them a lot! <3 They do a lot of 4-panel chapters, and they are really cute! My favorite is Ruby Smile. Haha

For Breakfast, we had something we call "Big Breakfast". Waffles, scrambled eggs, potatos, and bacon! It was delicious, but really filling. 

I also put together a special Birthday playlist for the day ;3 (which I will show at the end)

Later, my grandparents came over to visit. ^^ They got me stuff too, which was really nice of them.



 UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe: Late[st]!

I love this game to death. It's got a fantastic OST (every song is so freaking good HOW DOES RAITO DO IT), awesome cool characters!!, cool stages, and super fun gameplay!! 
It's definitely my favorite fighting game, by far. <3 One of the best games of all-time aaa
I originally found out about it through BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle (which my Brother bought back in June). I played for RWBY, but the game wasn't... the best, and UNIST surpasses it in every way. 
Especially since two of the series were R18, it wasn't that amazing for me. ^^; 

 I really like a lot of the characters, but I've mostly been using the female characters the most. Eltnum and Yuzuriha being my favorites. Though I really like Wagner, Orie and Linne, too. Linne even has a Kagerou Project color-palette like HOLY CRAP?? I mean, it might not be. But it looks way too much like Momo Kisaragi, so I'm gonna go with "It's Momo!". I mean, blonde hair, pink hoodie, and red eyes? Woah.
The voice actors are recognizable for me, too! Orie is (Japanese) Ruby Rose, Linne is Ran Mitake, and Eltnum is Rinko Shirokane~
There's probably more in there, but those were the ones I recognized right away. Though, Eltnum's way of talking sounds more closer to Sayo Hikawa, but it's actually Rinko. 

 Kagerou Daze Volumes 9 & 10!

Speaking of KagePro, yes. I'm still collecting the manga and novels! Been doing it for 4 years now, and I plan on going until the end. ;3

  Do not mock the Uchiha!! I mean...
Naruto: Chibi Sasuke's Sharingan Legend Volumes 2 & 3! 

The last two volumes! I absolutely love the Naruto series, and I also absolutely love the Chibi Sasuke series! It's really hilarious and ridiculous, haha.

 Avengers: Infinity War!

In BluRay form! ......
damn you thanos 

Ahem. My Grandma & Grandpa also bought me The 2nd Volume of the RWBY anthology, but it didn't arrive yet when I took the pictures, so this is all the pics I have right now.
 
For Dinner, we had steak and french fries. And at the end of the night we had cake and ice cream!
Well, before cake, my parents and siblings sang the Happy Birthday song.
Though everyone was kinda joking around, so I started laughing really hard and had trouble blowing out the candles. Dad started laughing about how it took me 10 tries. Haha it was fun
Just thinking about the night makes me laugh


I wanted Yukina, but it was hard to JUST cut Yukina, so my Mom gave me a piece with Rinko AND Lisa! Roselia! <3 (well except for Sayo and Ako but y'know it's 3 at least)
I ended up not being able to finish it off, so I took a pic of my piece before I threw it out. 

My Mom took Ran ...and she tipped over onto the Hulk's chest. Lmao
My Sister took Maya and Eve, and my Brother and Dad just took a piece with writing and no characters.

During cake, I had Meikyuu Butterfly playing. And my Dad rewinded it 3 times in a row, because he was certain that "there's a man talking over her singing" "That's the bass Dad" "That doesn't sound like bass!" and I just started dying of laughter.

Well, since that's pretty much it, here's the list of songs in order on my playlist!

Afterglow is doing The Lost One's Weeping!!? o(╥∇╥)o



KOKUBAN NO KONO KANJI GA YOMEMASU KA

ANO KO NO SHINSHOU WA YOMEMASU KA 

SONO KOKORO WO KUROKU SOMETA NO WA  

 OI DARE NANDA YO  OI DARE NANDA YOOOOOO!!!
 





HOLY CRAP
Rin and Len look so COOL!!! Oh my god, the style works perfectly!?
And look at those flying desks and chairs! It's so neru!

I honestly have trouble liking the Kagamine Twins at times... due to personal reasons, but I REALLY DO LOVE THE KAGAMINES GUYS
AAAH  THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN I IMAGINED

Afterglow is totally rocking it, and Rin & Len look amazing gOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
o(╥╥)o

The song is confirmed as "ロストワンの号哭"  on the official site. THAT IS THE NAME OF "The Lost One's Weeping" They're actually doing it
I've suggested this song how many times, and thought of how good it would be aND IT'S HAPPENING
They confirmed a full cover at a later date, too. .....

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

it's the bEST NERU SONG AND I CAN'T BELIEVE
This is on e of my favorite VOCALOID songs of all-time I actually cried once I saw this image???

I'm gonna sob when I hear it for the first time aaaa
What a dream come true 
I'm playing the crap out of it when I redownload JP

Now I can't wait to see Miku in Bandori style haha

I've mostly been focusing on Rin & Len whoops
I love Tomoe & Himari, they look really cool! 
Tsugu is really cute!
Everyone looks mad, depressed, or just dead inside, but their expressions honestly fit the song perfectly so 👍to that
I love the outfits so much!! The hat, or ribbon, for each character is so good and I love it
Like I mentioned right away, THE FLYING DESKS AND CHAIRS ARE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
Bandori really outdid themselves!

I can't wait to hear the song guys
I just exploded out of excitement 

I'm doing a Bandori Birthday Scout on Tuesday!

So, I started saving stars after failing to get Fairy Chisato. ಥ‿ಥ
Before that, I failed at getting Elegant Rose Rinko / Yukina, because I seriously jUST WANTED THE 3 STAR BUT BANDORI SAID "lmao no here have this dupe initial Kokoro"
Haha. Man, I love ENdori and how it hates giving me Roselia. Like... that Elegant Rose Yukina was my FIRST EVER CARD in JP, so I wanted to have it on EN. Since I lost everything on JP. But instead I got some marching bands again. Because that's all I get when I scout. ಥ⌣ಥ
ENdori. I love HHW, really I love everyone, but Roselia is what I really want. UNDERSTAND ME

Ok enough of that! So on Tuesday (August 21st), I'm doing a big birthday scout! The banner currently up is "Sparkling! Starmine" which has some really pretty cards. And I've been saving and collecting stars for it. Because last year's birthday scout... just gave me 2* dupes, because soloyolos don't get you anywhere kids! (jk I just have terrible luck)

This time, I'm prepared in advance! Which means I won't have a repeat of last year, because I have enough stars for a multi this time! 

So far, I've got 3851 Stars + 1 Star Gacha Ticket!
I'm trying to collect as many as I can each day, so hopefully I'll be able to hit enough for a second multi as well! 

I'm really just praying for 4* Yukina, it's been my goal since JP to get at least 1 Yukina 4*. ...Which I've never achieved. (╥_╥)

I honestly would be overjoyed to just get Elegant Rose Yukina, though. That's one of my FAVORITE cards in-game, and I really want it in EN. 

Though for 3*? No more HHW. No more. Just no. I have enough HHW, I don't need more- 
3* Initial Rinko would be amazing! I never once got it in JP. 

Well... that's probably enough for now.
I'll give updates on the results later this month!
(n˘v˘•)¬

 

I'm having a Bandori birthday cake this year!!!

It says "Happy 15th Birthday Lily!" at the bottom, with pink writing and a white border~ Don't have the pic yet though
So, my birthday is on August 21st (this Tuesday) and my caketopper is none other than... BANDORI!!
It looks really good, aaa
I'm definitely having the Yukina piece, since she's my favorite haha
I'm not sure what pieces my family are going to choose, but I'm really excited to see~
 (∪ ◡ ∪)

It's got 25 characters, which is... probably the most any of my cakes have ever had? I think the most before that was 9 (Love Live!), and 9 again (Kagerou Project). xD
My cake last year was RWBY with a total of 4 characters. 

So yup. Bandori made a record. xD

This cake looks so fun, though... I really do love looking at it! ~ (*˘︶˘*)
The background with all the pretty colors, and white sparkly stars... Haha, it's just really pretty. I love it~

I'll definitely post pictures of the actual thing later this month!
It's really cute and cool, and I'd like to share it with everyone!! (●⌒∇⌒●)

Bandori x Hatsune Miku is an actual collaboration and I'm???

Ok, so I turned on the latest BanG Dream! stream recently to see what news came out. 
So first up is covers.
HHW is doing "GO! GO! MANIAC!!" from K-ON!!, and that makes me happy because I love K-ON, and that is mY FAVE K-ON OP SO...
P*P is doing "DISCOTHEQUE" by Nana Mizuki. And I'm all up for Nana songs because she's my No.1 favorite singer and all, but I'm just salty because I want more NANOHA Nana songs lmao
But I mean, if not NANOHA Nana, then y'know... idk "SUPER GENERATION"? Like that could work with P*P? Or maybe HHW idk. But like, I'd totally welcome other non-NANOHA Nana songs!! "Inside of mind", "Heart-shaped Chant", "Meikyuu Butterfly", "Synchrogazer"! Like C'MON THEY'RE ALL ULTIMATE BOPS
Especially Meikyuu Butterfly?? But I guess all 4 of those are more suited to Roselia so whatever
 aNYWAY BACK TO WHAT I WAS SAYING!

Then this comes on screen and I'm losing the ability to control my hyped shaking:


"LIKE HOLY FREAKING CRAP WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL IS THIS REAL AM I DREAMING IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING??? HELL YEAH!!! 

THIS IS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" o(╥﹏╥)o

Basically, I died.
 And cried. A lot. Like I couldn't stop the tears.
Anyway, judging from the photo, it looks like AGlow is covering a neru song, probably?? I mean, neru songs usually always have school uniforms.I'm seriously praying for "The Lost One's Weeping" guys
PoPiPa is very clearly doing "Romeo & Cinderella". 10 year old me is cRYING RIGHT NOW
 And HHW is most-likely doing "Alien Alien" or "Nice to Meet You, Mr.Earthling".

But honestly, in the latest survey I actually SUGGESTED "Hatsune Miku" for the collaboration. And they listened. THEY ACTUALLY LISTENED!!!

And the text says "8"! It's coming in August!!

The last collab came out July 20, so if it's following the order... It could be coming out August 20. Basically...


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It could be coming out the day before my birthday!? Like holy crap Bandori and Vocaloid!! I love you so much!!??  ಥvಥ

  
AND THERE IS MORE!!!


So the VAs showed THIS off, and it's the silhouettes of the 3 bands. But... there's extra characters???

AND I KNEW RIGHT AWAY AFTER ZOOMING IN:

 THE FREAKING KAGAMINE TWINS!!!! Rin and Len ARE IN THE GAME!!! I can't wait to see Rin!! She's gonna look so cool!
 Also yeah it's pretty much confirmed neru at this point

 HATSUNE MIKU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's my favorite Cryptonloid alongside Luka!!
She's gonna look so amazing in Bandori style oh my gOD I love Miku

There's no Luka sadly, because Roselia isn't part of this collab :')
As for HHW, pretty sure it's Miku cuz there's some looong pigtails sticking out.
BUT I'M FINE WITH THIS THIS IS AMAZING

R&C is gonna look amazing, and I can't wait to see the cards aaa
I can't believe both Bandori and Vocaloid are giving me a birthday present this year I'm gonna cry
