The Fragility of Chiyu Tamade
CHU2 (real name: Chiyu Tamade) is the daughter of two prominent figures in the music industry. Her mom, Miu Tamade, is a world-renowned violinist.
Coming from a wealthy and influential family; Chiyu grows into a person who greatly values pride and has a high standard.
Chiyu was introduced to various musical intruments since early childhood. She especially spent a lot of time with piano and violin, to the point of entering various competitions.
CHU2’s parents, especially her mom, are very supportive of her musical endeavor. She accompanied CHU2 when the girl practiced the piano and went to cheer her daughter in competitions. Her parents still accomodate CHU2 with their resources up until now (fully-equipped private studio and providing access to shoot a high-budget MV).
But alas, CHU2 wasn’t skilled enough in playing musical instruments.
No matter how many hours she spent in practicing.
No matter how bruised her little hands were.
Although her mom always complimented her playing, she failed to impress the judges during competitions.
Having such impressive background, expectations toward her surely was high. People might hope that she was a violin or piano genius. But Chiyu Tamade, the daughter of world-class violinist, turned out to be just an average musician.
And it hit little CHU2 hard.
The humiliation triggered CHU2 to prove herself. She vowed to break through the music industry.
Having realized her lack of skills in playing the instruments by her own, she found another way to achieve her goal. She decided to produce what she dubbed as “the ultimate band”.
One day CHU2 found it in Roselia, yet her offer to produce the gothic-rock band was declined. This rejection hurt her ego. It then corrupted her goal into “crush that Roselia using my own band”, which led to RAISE A SUILEN’s creation.
While being ambitious is a must for aiming high, CHU2’s motive was ingenuine. This led her to utilize whatever means necessary to secure a band member (remember Tae and LOCK?). After the formation was complete, she only saw them as tools. CHU2 often summoned them at ridiculous hours and banned them from interacting with the “enemies” (Roselia and Poppin’Party).
CHU2 led her band walking on a thin layer of ice that was in the verge of breaking apart.
RAISE A SUILEN’s victory over Roselia was a brief one, as Yukina’s band quickly reversed the voting result of BanG Dream! prelims. CHU2 felt insecure and gave her bandmates even more ridiculous demands and restrictions.
An argument then broke out between CHU2 and MASKING (who later walked out, followed by LOCK and LAYER). PAREO then comforted CHU2, but being frustated with the situation, she said that her keyboardist was useless. Something that saddened PAREO greatly and she disappeared since then.
CHU2 was left alone. As her birthday approached, she contemplated on the past. The reason why she started a band in the first place. LAYER, MASKING, and LOCK; meanwhile; longed for their band to reunite once more... But with a strong bond like Poppin’Party and Roselia did.
Some time later MASKING and LOCK procceed to pick up PAREO from her hometown, while LAYER literally dragged CHU2 there.
The temporary break up of RAISE A SUILEN eventually managed to make CHU2 realized her wrongdoings and apologized to her bandmates. She later opened up about how she envied and respected their skills; finally showing her fragile side.
From this moment on, her character will continue to grow toward a better CHU2. Both as a person, as well as a musician.
