Got into this series because my wota friends kept singing Shiny Days at karaoke and spinning it at their DJ nights, breaking UOs and laying down orange penlights during the chorus to simulate a campfire, complete with cups of currymen and marshmallows. One even posted a video of himself and his friends breaking mega UOs with marshmallows on them at Asaka’s concert at AB last year. It seemed super cute, so I dusted off my Crunchyroll account and binged it earlier this year. Wasn’t a mistake. Then Cruchy marathoned it on Twitch a couple months back and I caught a couple go arounds of the series because it was so comf. Got me interested in possibly going camping, and I asked my cousin if I could join him in his next outing at Lake George, but that won’t be for a couple of months, and I still need to get a bunch of gear for myself. And money I’m spending on gear is money I’m not spending on merch, like the Nadeshiko nesoberis I’m seeing on eBay. Holding out for a Rin or an Ena or Inuyama one though.

Been collecting, now I need to find either a ShimaRin neso or Nendo for cheap. Also, an acquaintance has been to see Asaka in concert at cons at least 3 times this year, the latest at AniRevo in Vancouver next weekend, and does UO campfires every time he’s able to during Shiny Days. Wish I could afford that.

tsob posted:What does that even mean? We make campfires with UOs. Probably easier just for me to link a video. http://twitter.com/anisongparty/status/1145231784726138880 This was from an Anikura event in Queens I went to two months ago, the guy who I mentioned in somewhere in that pile. I even brought a Maruchan curry cup ramen to “cook” on top of the campfire, and the DJ has a full sized curry cup ramen costume he sometimes brings out for these events. Other friends sometimes even bring marshmallows, stick them on their UOs, and “roast” them. Also, I found a ShimaRin neso on eBay, but for $40. I think I’m probably gonna pony up for it.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:Is UO just a fancy word for glowstick or are they something else entirely? UO = Ultra Orange, a particularly bright glow stick that burns out within minutes, made by Lumica. Particularly famous for turning entire arenas orange when busted out for the climax of Snow Halation by Muse of Love Live fame. Generally adopted by wotas and anikura fans for their wazas and hype songs and poo poo. In addition to wazas in general, things like Shiny Days campfires and UO kanpais (breaking a UO, dropping it into your drink, yelling kanpai! aka “cheers!” in Japanese, then downing your drink) are some of the more well known uses of UOs to the best of my knowledge from wota friends.

tsob posted:There is just so much new terminology in this post. The jargon, along the mention of a DJ wearing a ramen suit for events that happen fairly regularly make me wonder just how big Yurucamp and anime parties of this kind are in America. lol, sorry. Wota = idol otaku, which is pretty much self explanatory. Anikura = Anime (dance) club, aka events where you go and dance and poo poo to anime music; anisong = anime songs; waza means something like “move” as in a technique, and is what wotas do to anisong with their penlights and glow sticks, all of which have their own names (OAD, Romance, PPPH, Amaterasu, Thunder Snake), penlights and glow sticks are sometimes called cyalumes, etc etc. As for the DJ, he and his group, Aniparty, are based here on the East Coast (MD, VA, NJ, NY, CT) and they’ve been hired by Lumica repeatedly over the past year and a half or so to do events at their booth at cons, in order to sell more glow sticks. Basically, they wanted to emulate the Akiba club mogra, which has a bunch of well known DJs and is known for mixing anisong every weekend, which is streamed on Twitch. Shiny Days is a staple song at Aniparty events, as is a bunch of Love Live, idolm@s, Bandori, Revue Starlight (nowadays), Hamtaro (yes, you heard me), only my railgun, Rising Hope, Maware, the Da Pump song USA, and other anime OPs and EDs. If you’ve ever seen a video of a guy twirling an umbrella with UOs attached to them while other people spin in a circle around him, then you know the waza for the song Maware, and have met one of the regulars at these events. They’ve done a bunch of cons for Lumica, including AX, AnimeNYC, Anime Central, Otakon, Anime Weekend Atlanta, Anime Boston, Kawaii-Con in Honolulu, and smaller ones like ToraCon at RIT, Toronto International Fan Festival, etc. I first met them attending Love Live concert delayed viewings here in NY, and they’ve done like 5 events total in Baltimore and NY in the year and a half or so that they’ve been active, plus a collab event or two with a anisong DJ group in Toronto called AniMaple. Decent attendance, and they stream their events on Twitch, but the VoDs don’t last long due to copyright claims and the like. Another friend I’ve met through DVs went to the Asaka concert at Anime Boston , and that was where I first learned about UO marshmallows, when he broke them out as she was singing Shiny Days. I first learned about UO campfires when said friends started doing them at karaoke, and I fell into Yuru Camp as a result. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Aug 5, 2019 |

Cipher Pol 9 posted:Is it?? Yeah, I kept hearing the song at their events and karaoke, and I figured I might as well check out the anime that it was from. Comf ensued, and now I’m collecting the manga and looking for a ShimaRin neso. I had just gotten my Crunchyroll account sorted right before I decided to check it out, so it was easy to watch. And yeah, wota = idol otaku should be easy enough to understand. They’re fans (otaku) of idol groups, including anisong singers and groups based in anime, even if those technically aren’t actually idols. Really started springing up in numbers once the 48/46 groups started making it big in Japan, and when anisong started being a larger thing following Haruhi, then hopped the Pacific over to the US, albeit it being smaller over here. In Japan, there are whole music festivals attended almost entirely by wota, like Animelo Summer Festival and the like. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Aug 5, 2019 |

MJP posted:I think you're going to events that are run by my buddies Victor and Alvin. They're really great guys and are so hardcore into what they do, it's admirable. Not my cup of tea to do but every party they throw has people having the time of their lives that I can't help but be happy for them and the attendees. I know Victor and Alvin as DJs Appare and Pleasant, so yeah, that’s them. Met them a bunch at their events and cons and DVs, I’m in their Discord as well, and they are really cool people. Alvin’s the one with the currymen outfit. And yeah, the UO kanpai just has you activating it before dropping it in your drink; I’ve usually heard the term “breaking” or “popping” a UO or glow sticks in general as doing so. I really wouldn’t want to drink whatever chem mix is in that thing, and neither should anyone else.

Yuru Camp is getting a live action series in January, which looks interesting. Also, I picked this up last minute as I was clearing the show floor at AnimeNYC:  Was too busy working the con to get in on a couple of UO campfires at Lumica and at the official afterparty, but I guess I’ll get my fix next month at the next Aniparty.

There's also her knit cap on amiami as well. Good to know, I just paid the Amiami order earlier this week, now to wait a month for it to get here from Japan. C.M. Kruger posted:This is inaccurate, Belenko defected in the summer! These are amazing, and will tide me over until next year when season 2 happens. Brought my ShimaRin neso and a cup of currymen to another Anisong DJ event run by MJP’s (and my) DJ buddies in Queens this weekend, but Shiny Days didn’t get played unfortunately. They had a Japanese DJ known for playing mogra as a guest DJ, and DJ Hitomi (aka DJ Shawty)’s set was fire, a good time was had even if I fell down during the second Maware circle of the night and scraped up my right arm something fierce, when we tried to get too many people into the circle in such a small space. Maware is kinda a cursed song for me, since I slipped and fell due to a wet floor during another rendition at their 3rd DJ event on Staten Island. Oh well, so much fun had, and I still like the song. Couple of really fun (and hazukashi, especially in front of DJ Hitomi) moments in there too, which you would expect from a room full of weebs going hard to animu music. Finished off the night with the Jam Project rendition of Snow Halation with people passing out UOs to make sure everyone attending had at least one, and the synchronized break had the amount of normies filtering into the bar amazed and taking videos of the room turning orange.

starbucks hermit posted:https://www.goodsmileus.com/product/nendoroid-ena-saito-1680/ Preordered. Hopefully shipping options won’t just be DHL when it gets released, whenever that is; friends are having trouble with any other option currently because of the lack of SAL and Japan Post shipping to the US right now. Now that I have funds due to unemployment coming in and not having anything major to spend it on, I guess I’ll get the other nendos from the series that I saw for sale at my local (but not really, it’s 2 hours by subway away in Queens, but also 3 blocks from my parents’ place and my doctor’s office) animu store, once they open back up after this lockdown, whenever that is.

Been collecting the manga as it comes out, and it’s really making me anticipate this winter when the new season premiers. Lot of material to adapt and look forward to. Had to buy Volume 9 twice when I accidentally left my first copy on the Express Bus when I was heading to work last week.  They’ve also cast Kurosawa Tomoyo (who I mostly know as Misaki/Michelle from Hello, Happy World in Bandori and Kumiko in Euphonium) as Nadeshiko’s childhood friend who will show up for probably a couple of episodes. Aoi’s sister will probably have a bigger role, but I forget who they had as her seiyuu in her brief appearance in Heya Camp stuffs in Season 1.

sb hermit posted:That is a seriously comfy looking scarf. It is a very comfy scarf, served me well last winter and if the weather extremes we’ve been having lately hold up, I’m gonna have to break it out sooner rather than later. A friend was wearing one as well one of the last times I was at a large gathering to Covid back in January of last year; I’m really glad I got my hands on one. My aunt apparently thought it was a gay pride scarf when I first wore it because I guess she didn’t see it well when I had it on and thought anything with varying stripes of color represented that? Yuru Camp certainly has some undertones of that though, but it very much focused on the comf instead.

sb hermit posted:it’s good Yeah, the movie is future Outdoor Activities Club getting together after they become adults; this is more manga storyline high school camping. Watching the new season definitely scratched an itch I didn’t know needed scratching after so long, so with this and the new season of Euphonium this year, I think my comf quota will easily be filled for the next couple of months. I barely remember the overall plan of the chapters that would make up this season in the manga unlike the ones for season 2, but I do remember that Nadeshiko’s friend Ayano is involved. Also, cameo appearance in the OP by two new characters that have only shown up in the last 2 volumes of the manga released in English (4 volumes in Japanese) makes me think they’re gonna be covering more material this season than I thought they would..

Maybe it's was just the fact that most of the episode took place in the early morning and in a tourist spot in the off-season. Kinda felt the same thing when I was reading the chapters of the manga that this corresponded to, but it did make me want curry (dam or not), so it got some of its job done.

Related, Shiny Days continues to be one of the mainstays of anikura, and weebs still go hard over it, as evidenced by this weekend’s Meat Festival (that always has an anikura DJ stage) in Odaiba, to the point where Asaka commented on it (she also mentions kaigai, which is probably in part due to the fact that me and my friends did a campfire when she sang Shiny Days at AWA last October). https://x.com/AsakaOfficial/status/1785318259069489536
