I mean Rina is pronounced the same in both Japanese and Swedish so I guess that’s why… I have no idea what kind of accent an American would use to pronounce her name but I’m trying to actually pronounce their name as they’re supposed to be said and not the way most Americans pronounce Japanese words 👀
The best girl is here! She's categorized as a Passion idol, but she totally knocks it out of the park in both the Cute and Cool departments too (at least for me). Hara Yuko does a great job of voicing tomboyish delinquent characters, and I'm totally hooked on Takumin. Honoo no Hana and Midnight Junjou Densetsu are great. One thing that doesn't translated too well is all the bousouzoku puns that are incorporated into her image. I'll include a bunch of them here to demonstrate what I mean. Her SSR 拳火上等 is translated in the iM@S wiki as "First Class Fiery Fist". This is a pun on 喧嘩上等, meaning "First Class in Fights". Kenka (喧嘩) means fights and is punned here the characters 拳 and 火, meaning fist and fire respectively. The reason why these puns work is because Japanese kanji can have multiple readings. A major aspect of this biker gang punning is actually replacing hiragana or katakana with homophonic, Kanji which either have "tough" meanings or a lot of strokes. To illustrate - in Junjou Midnight Densetsu, one of the flags on the stage reads 夜露士苦. Read aloud, this is just the Japanese greeting "Yoroshiku". Take the characters one by one though, one possible reading 夜: Night 露: Revelation 士: Warrior. (This is typically 死, meaning death. I imagine they changed it because iM@s is meant to be family-friendly) 苦: Bitterness, suffering In the same vein, Idol is spelt in Japanese as アイドル (that's a, i, do, ru). In Takumi's case, it's sometimes spelt as 亜威怒流 instead. 亜 is there just for the phonetics, but the characters for 威, 怒 and 流 mean Might, Anger and Flow respectively. If you have as much of a weakness for gap moe as I do, Takumi is the oshi for you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a long and fleshed out comment about Takumi! As a fellow Takumi P it makes me super happy to have even more nuance of her in the comment section 💙
The COOLEST!! (Even though she’s passion lol) That warms my heart so much to hear!! I’ll do my best to keep making them so your girlfriend can learn about more idols!!!
Unclear. They have no proper interactions at all besides Miku talking about Takumi in regards to a beach moment and Takumi walking in when they’re in an onsen during two different gekijou comic strips. You would think they could be friends based on Takumis love for Bucchi and Mikus love for cats in general.
@@theoneandonlyme9731 Nah let’s retire this old ass meme. It’s always been really disrespectful to the Mio P who made the video bc they loved her and then it turned into that mess.
