the honeycomb brioche bowtie scarf! (that i finished several weeks ago whoops)

anyway. my first brioche project, but i knew i wanted to use honeycomb brioche for the yellow yarn so i figured it out. you can tell by how much prettier my decreases are compared to my increases.

Kasumi: Mikazuki no Veil by Izumi Mitsuki/Yonaga Tsubasa

Ran: Maybe by Ousaka Sougo/Abe Atsushi

Aya: S(mile)ing by Shimamura Uzuki/Ohashi Ayaka

Yukina: White First Love by Kurosawa Dia/Komiya Arisa

This part of the challenge is honestly really interesting! I did always wonder what it'd be like for bandori bands to cover songs that aren't their own!

For Poppin' Party songs, I'd love to see Afterglow cover Time Lapse or Teardrops! Those two songs for Popipa really give me an Aglow vibe and I think it'd be awesome to hear them sing it!

For Afterglow songs, I'd like to see a Roselia cover of True Color! True Color is one of the few Afterglow songs that I feel is a bit more on the gentle side rather than their usual songs! It does remind me a lot of Roselia and I think Yukina would sound really really cool singing it!

For Pastel*Palettes, I'd either like to hear HHW cover SURVIVOR Never Give Up (because it's really energetic and reminds me of the group) or Popipa cover Tenka Toitsu A to Z (because I wanna hear them sing another Japanese style song like Natsu no Don~)

Regarding Roselia songs, I'd love to hear Afterglow cover --Heroic Advent-- or Legendary! It's mostly because the two songs were used for CFV, a card game anime and a lot of card game anime openings and endings are really explosive! Afterglow songs are really explosive sounding too and I'd really really like to hear Ran singing these songs! I think she'd sound awesome singing it!!

Poppin’ Party- DDD by Aoi Shouta (TV version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oDAeWLldrg) Afterglow- The Day by Porno Graffitti/Peace Sign by Yonezu Kenshi (TV versions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-77UEct0cZM/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AuPpGuewzw) Pastel*Palettes- Kokoro no Tamago by Buono/Sakura Kiss by Kawabe Chieko (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDwdte1fHHU/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi4JLywH_cA) Roselia- Break Your Spell by Psychic Lover (TV version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Suc4KveAXuU, Full: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DhBG6uIdWo) Hello, Happy World- We Are by Kitadani Hiroshi (TV version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwXKz2CeHwY, Full: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pme-E9fOnIE)

For Popipa, I wanted to go with a song from Future Card Buddyfight, a card games series that Bushiroad owns! This is cuz Popipa has so far sung two songs for the series: B.O.F as an ending for the first series and Saa Ikou as an opening for the second series! Not only that, but Rimi’s seiyuu voices a character in the new series and Kasumi’s seiyuu voices characters in both series’! Anyway, it was a tough choice because many of the songs used in this series are very Popipa-like, and I’d honestly love to see them do covers of these songs...in the end I went with DDD by Aoi Shouta! It’s a really cool song and since Popipa has done more hard rock songs like Teardrops and Time Lapse, I’d love to see them cover this song!

For Afterglow, I’ve told my friends before that I honestly wanted to see them cover The Day by Porno Graffitti, which was used in Boku no Hero Academia. Honestly though, after hearing Peace Sign by Yonezu Kenshi (which was also used for BnHA), I’d like to hear Afterglow cover either song honestly. I mean...the instrumentals used in The Day are really rock-ish and very Afterglow like! I love the explosiveness of the song and I think Aglow could make a great cover of the song! For Peace Sign, the song is a bit less explosive compared to The Day, but it’s still really catchy and the instrumentals are really cool! Also, I can just picture Ran singing the song!

When I think of Pasupare cover songs, I always see them covering Mahou Shoujou themes and the like. Honestly though, I really wanna see them cover either Sakura Kiss by Kawabe Chieko (Used in Ouran High School Host Club), or Kokoro no Tamago by Buono (used in Shugo Chara). Both songs bring me so much nostalgia, Kokoro no Tamago especially, and they’re both such cute songs! I’d love to hear Pasupare cover either one! I think Aya would sound great singing them!

Similar to how I chose a Buddyfight theme for Popipa, I wanna see Roselia cover another song from Cardfight Vanguard. I’m glad that Roselia already did cover a song from Vanguard and they did an awesome job with Believe In My Existence! However, I feel like Believe In My Existence would have fit Aglow a lot better >< Not only that, but I really, REALLY wanted Roselia to cover Break Your Spell by Psychic Lover. THIS SONG IS MA JAM!! I LOVE IT LIKE...A LOT! It’s very melodious like a lot of Roselia’s music and I could totally see them rocking out to this! I think they could make an absolutely AMAZING cover of this song! 

Roselia: Eden by Nana Mizuki (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqS51Dh5c20), Hello, Happy World: ikki!!!!!i!! by Bullet Train (https://youtu.be/m9aq-dJggMQ?t=1m43s)

For Roselia, I ended up choosing Eden by Nana Mizuki! I ended up choosing a Nana Mizuki song cuz after hearing Roselia cover Eternal Blaze and Shin Ai (Both by Nana Mizuki) I think Yukina honestly sounds so much like her when she sings! Eden was one of the few songs by Nana Mizuki not used for an anime or anything anime related, and honestly it sounds super pretty! I’d love to hear a cover of it!

Afterglow- Dragon Storm 2007 by JAM Project (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfEB0EbjgHA)

Pastel*Palettes- Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana by SMAP (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZq-q75KeMw)

For these 5 days of the challenge I legit had a difficult time finding songs for each group cuz honestly, most of the songs I listen to are from animes (yes I am a weeb). So finding a song that wasn’t used in an anime but was still Japanese proved to be a bit of a challenge...For Poppin’ Party I went with My Buddy by Bullet Train! I think this song was used for the opening of a Japanese TV program from what I recall? Anyway, I ended up choosing this song cuz I think the instrumentals are very poppy and fun, like Popipa! I honestly think this song could also be covered by HHW but watching the MV gives me more of a Popipa vibe than a HHW vibe for some reason ><; But yeah it’d be cool to hear Popipa cover this song! 

For Afterglow, I went for Dragon Storm 2007 by JAM Project. JAM Project’s songs are usually very much like Afterglow in the sense that the instrumentals are “explosive”/have a lot of impact (Although Roselia ended up covering a JAM Project song so I guess not all of their songs are like that aha...). This song is very intense and I can totally see Ran singing this and I think she’d sound so awesome doing so!
