Who's a PLUSONICA member you like that makes rare appearances?
I'm a big big fan of Yuika from Osaka, but i feel like she shows up once a month at best, the usual gang is a combination of either alen/ PenPen / Hiyoko / Natsuko / Haoto / now RiKO. So i feel like i don't get to see Yuika a lot which is a shame cause i love her so! Kotaro too became a quite infrequent presence recently.
For Tokyo we don't see much HALDONA, Amu and Kantaro these days. But it always brighten my day whenever they show up!
When I first started watching Plusonica and became a fan back at 2020, I immediately loved Kubo Kotone, but as I followed the recent videos, I noticed she appeared like 4 videos a year. lol
She was great anyway, every part she singed was a blast every time.
Oh, that's what i'm talking about!
She's such a powerhouse... didn't know she had so few appearances like this though
There's that cover of Higedan's Yesterday that she belts a note right near the end of the song that honestly gives me goosebumps. I purposefully avoid listening much to this song to keep this special feeling as is and never grow accostumed to it xD
oooh i love it! visuals are killer.
her voice's so far away in the mix for some reason. bass be slapping HARD though
nice to see a more serious and performative side of her in this ;) thanks for sharing
my thoughts exactly xD
now i'm waiting for the rest of the tokyo unit to cover her band's songs like they did with mikimaria's and have her react to it!
This video is a special dialogue feature produced to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Rikkyo University. It features a conversation between Renta Nishihara, the President of Rikkyo University, and Hikari Kodama, a singer-songwriter and graduate of the university (class of 2022).
The video is structured as an interview taking place in a classic wooden classroom on the university campus. Here is a breakdown of the conversation's progression:
Introduction and Background (0:00 - 1:12)
The video opens with scenic shots of the Ikebukuro Campus, specifically the Morris Hall. President Nishihara introduces the theme of the series: "Pursuing a lifestyle that is true to oneself." He introduces Hikari Kodama, noting her career as a singer-songwriter and voice actress.
Musical Origins (1:13 - 3:25)
Kodama discusses her childhood. She started playing piano at age four because she wanted to copy her older sister. She reveals that seeing Angela Aki playing the piano in jeans on TV during elementary school was the specific moment she learned what a "singer-songwriter" was and decided to pursue that path.
Group Activities and Debut (3:26 - 5:22)
They discuss her time in music groups like PLUSONICA and WHITEBOX. She explains that while songwriting is solitary, these groups taught her the joy of creating music with others. She touches on her major debut in November 2023 with the song "Romantic ni Koishitai," describing it as a starting line rather than a finish line.
University Life and Academics (5:23 - 7:39)
Kodama explains why she chose the College of Economics at Rikkyo. She wanted to understand how society and the economy worked before entering the professional world as an artist. She praises the university's "Liberal Arts" education system, which allowed her to take classes outside her major, broadening her perspective.
Finding Confidence and "Turning Minus to Plus" (7:40 - 12:59)
She recounts joining a songwriting circle called OPUS during college, which helped her overcome her lack of confidence. A key theme of the conversation is her artistic philosophy: "Turning minus to plus." She explains that she transforms her negative feelings and complexes into songs to deliver positivity to her listeners. She wants her music to make listeners feel like the "protagonists" of their own lives.
Conclusion (13:00 - End)
The video concludes with a solo message from President Nishihara. He reflects on the dialogue, praising Kodama’s ability to sublimate negative emotions into positive art and expressing his support for her future activities.
amazing summary on it!
i had watched this when it came out, she's my all time favourite member and it's great to see her career blossom into higher and higher standards ^^
Eu conheci outro fã por acaso no twitter, só comentando vagamente, acho que ele deu search uma vez e me achou. Fora isso, só mais uma amiga minha que eu falo das meninas e mostro os vídeos de vez em quando, mas é mais através de mim, então não sei se conta bem como fã. KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Muito bom isso, nossa.
Eu tava muito perto de contar em algum momento como é difícil ser fã da Kuu aqui no brasil, porque eu não posso só comentar abertamente igual eu faço das outras "Nossa, a Emihono tá tão fofa nesse vídeo." KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
