Ask and RP blog for PJSK OC and leader of fruit*tunes, Ayanokouji Sakura. Blog is run by @low-battery-mode-jay.

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Hey, hey, guys! My name's Ayanokouji Sakura, but you can call me Sakura or Saku-chan! It's a pleasure to meet everyone here!

Some things about me: I'm eighteen years old, my birthday is on July 19, and I'm currently in my third year at Miyamasuzaka. I'm also the leader of fruit*tunes, and I do live-streaming alongside all that!

What kind of streaming do I do? Well, I usually do art streams! I occasionally do cosplay stuff with a friend of mine, but I usually do art, both traditional and digital. I usually do so on Wednesdays, but I try to do whatever when I can.

And that's it! Feel free to come here to chat with me more casually, or ask me questions! I'll be happy to answer them! But that's it for now! Signing off! 🌸🐉

Miyuna had been in incredibly high spirits after her interaction with Sakura on the train. Well, she was usually in high spirits, but now it felt like there was some sort of excitable aura around her. She was incredibly happy to meet someone that matched her vibe, and not to mention, she was totally cool!

She had been setting up for rehearsal with Yumu when she got an idea. Sakura could come and watch! Of course, she had to ask Yumu and the others, but an audience member wouldn't hurt, right?

Miyuna quickly typed Sakura's number into her phone and texted her.

<Hi hi! It's Miyuna! I help out with my friend's band and I wanted to ask if you wanted to come and watch rehearsal at my house? There will be food and drinks and stuff, and me, so you won't get bored :) Hopefully anyway. No pressure if not of course!! I just wanna show off lol>

She sends over her address, waiting for a text back.

Sakura, much like Miyuna, was in quite high spirits after meeting her on the train. Her motivation was high, she was really happy, and she even had done a couple more little doodles based on what she remembered of her photos and a couple of Miyuna, too.

She was doodling some more when she got the text from her, the artist putting her stylus in its holder so it wouldn't get lost. Reading over the message, she smiles, quickly typing something back.

<Hey, Miyu! I'd be happy to come! And I highly doubted I'd get bored, but I might bring my tablet to sketch if anything inspires me, if that's alright! I'll be there in about fifteen minutes!>

Hopping to her feet, Sakura quickly packs her art bag, making sure everything was in it before throwing her bag over her shoulder and heading off towards Miyuna's house. It did take her a bit, but she eventually made it. She knocks on the door, sending a text to Miyuna that she was there.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

<Yay! Glad you have that much faith in me, see you soon>

Miyuna chuckled to herself, making sure everything was as clean and orderly as possible. Yumu was intrigued, but kept working on setting everything up. He perked up once he heard the knock, but Miyuna darted to the door before he could even say anything.

Sakura! You're here! Miyuna gave her a little side hug before letting her inside. Alright! It's just me and Yumu currently, but everyone else should be here soon. Here, come!

She leads her into the garage, putting her arms out. Tada~ This is where we practice. Well, they do, anyway. I'm their manager helper thing. Take a seat wherever, we've got very comfy couches and bean bags.

So you must be the one who's gotten Miyu in such a good mood, Yumu lightly teases before bowing slightly, his radiant vibe almost overwhelming. It's a pleasure to meet and perform for you today. My name is Hayashi Yumu. We're only rehearsing, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes..

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura smiles wide when Miyuna opens the door, not wearing the mask she was wearing on the train last time they met. Hey, Miyu! Thank you again for inviting me! She replies with a smile, following behind her friend to the garage.

She takes a look around the garage once they reach it, nodding in understanding at Miyuna's explanation. Got it. And this all looks so cool, Miyu! And I bet you're an amazing manager for them. As she speaks, she sits herself down on one of the beanbags, glancing over to Yumu when he speaks.

I suppose I am! Sakura replies playfully, slightly overwhelmed by the radiance in front of her. And it's nice to meet you as well, Yumu! It's alright if any mistakes are made, by the way. I get it! While I don't use the same instrumentals you guys use for your group, I definitely understand rehearsal mistakes. So don't worry too much about it!

After she finishes talking, she fishes her drawing tablet out of her bag, turning to Miyuna with an excited grin. Do you wanna see some of the stuff I've drawn since the train, Miyu?

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Don't even worry about it! Miyuna chuckles, watching as Sakura sat down on a bean bag. She decided to sit down next to her, adjusting her socks.

I appreciate your kindness. I promise we'll try our best regardless. Yumu replies, and Miyuna just shakes her head.

He can be so formal sometimes, ignore him. I'd love to see!

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura continues to smile when Miyuna sits down next to her, adjusting herself briefly on the beanbag to get more comfortable. Even if she was already comfortable and somewhat sinking into it. . .

It's no problem, Yumu! And you don't need to be so formal with me! But, if you want to, I'm not going to stop you. And I can't wait to hear the performance!

Sakura turns her attention back to Miyuna, showing her some of the doodles she drew based on what she remembered of her photos, along with a page full of chibi doodles, a good handful of them being Miyuna. I don't know why I got so focused on drawing you whenever I started doodling the chibis, but I think you certainly inspired me. She murmurs playfully, her cheeks faintly pink due to a tiny bit of embarrassment.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Ah, sorry! It just kinda happens.. Yumu laughs awkwardly, going back to fixing some tuning issues and adjusting the heights of things. Miyuna's face flushes at the sight, still grinning anyway.

Hehe, I'm glad I get to be your muse! You always make me look super duper cute, so I can't be mad. Do you have, like, photographic memory or something? These look so accurate!

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

It's alright, Yumu! You don't need to apologize! Sakura smiles genuinely at him before turning back to Miyuna, noting the slight flush of her cheeks. She supposed it was probably cuz of the drawings, but she wasn't too sure why. She wasn't going to complain, though, especially when her friend was smiling.

Thank you! And no, I don't think I have a photographic memory. I just. . . How do I explain this? I tend to remember things I found interesting and/or want to use for inspiration later, if that makes sense. She starts doodling again as she speaks, a little chibi of Yumu now on the canvas with the others. That, and I also enjoy drawing people I like. Speaking of which, here, Yumu! Whaddya think? She turns her tablet towards him with a smile on her face.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Ohh, yeah! That makes sense. Still, these look incredible when just going off of memory! You're so cool, Sakura! Miyuna giggles, looking over at the chibi Sakura just drew.

Yumu looked over as his name was called, looking over the drawing with a smile. Oh, wow, that's so cute! I'm glad you like me, ehe. Miyuna wasn't kidding when she said you had talent.

-🦋+ 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura's cheeks went pink again, but she's smiling happily at Miyuna's words. Thank you, Miyu! You're really cool, too! Her attention turns back to Yumu when he speaks, her smile still wide.

And thank you as well, Yumu! And of course I like you! Miyu, too! You're both such interesting people, after all. She turns back to Miyuna, tilting her head slightly to the side, a curious look in her eyes. By the way, when does the rehearsal start? I'm still so excited to listen!

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Haha, I'm flattered.. Yumu hummed. Miyuna simply chuckled. You're one of the most popular boys at your school and you still get flattered by that.. but thank you!

Yumu thinks about the question briefly. When everyone else comes in-

Suddenly, Hana, Shirato and Fumiya all come in from the door leading into the house. Hey, we're here! Sorry, I forgot to mention I was giving them a ride here.. She then notices Sakura sitting there. Shirato and Fumiya share a silent glance. Oh, what's up! Are you here to watch?

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura's attention bounces between everyone once the three enter, her face briefly confused before her usual excited smile slid back into place.

I am, yea! My name's Sakura, and it's nice to meet all of you! She replies, still just as excited as when she met Miyuna and Yumu not that long ago. Miyu invited me to come and watch you guys play, and I can't wait to hear your guy's music!

That, and draw some more. Which, speaking of which, she went right back to the drawing tablet, quickly sketching out chibis of Fumiya, Hana, and Shirato before the ideas for them left her head. Then she just. . . Kept drawing. She wasn't trying to be rude or ignore them, but she suddenly had so many ideas flowing in her head that she had to put down on her canvas before they left.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

It's nice to meet you too! My name is Hana, I play bass and such. Bunny boy is Shirato, and that grump is Fumiya. Hana gestures to each of them before heading to her designated spot. Fumiya rolls his eyes, and Shirato gives a small wave.

Yumu blinked as he saw her start to draw, figuring she was just going to listen and not watch, which settled his nerves a little. Okayy.. let's warm up with something soft and easy, yeah?

Hana and Miyuna nod. Hana made sure everyone was comfortable before starting them off, Miyuna leaning closer to Sakura. 'Kay, just in case you couldn't tell.. Yumu is main vocals and secondary guitar, Hana is main guitar and secondary vocals.. haha, funny how that works. Anyway. Fumiya is on bass, and Shirato is obviously on drums. And I just.. do stuff, I guess. Make flyers, take photos and videos, social media stuff.. whatever it is I probably do it. Oh, and they're called Love Letters from Shibuya, if I haven't mentioned that already. Aren't they good?

They all sounded pretty good, but there were some very slight mistakes coming from Fumiya. His face hardened, but he didn't say a word.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura nods as Hana introduces the group, continuing to doodle all of them as chibis. She also listens to Miyuna's explanation, barely noting any of the mistakes that Fumiya made. To be fair, she usually didn't perform rock music, so she probably wouldn't notice it, but still.

However, her attention seems to be caught when Miyuna mentions making flyers for the band.

Flyers? I think I've seen some of them around. . . But that gives me another idea. Hold on. . . And yes, they do sound good. Really good! Sakura is quick to start sketching on a new canvas, her tongue sticking out in concentration. After a second, she turns the canvas to Miyuna, a small smile on her face.

Something like this? She asks, a curious look in her eyes. On the canvas was a poster with the little chibis she designed of LLFS with their instruments, along with their band name across the top in bubble letters and with other little hearts and stars scattered across a bright and colorful background.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Have you? Oh, good. Guess I put them in good places, hehe. Miyuna tilts her head slightly as Sakura starts drawing again, not realizing what she was doing until she actually saw it.

Oh my- that's adorable! That would definitely catch people's eye! Guys, pause for a second!

Yumu had already finished the song, but he stops moving for a second before approaching. He hovers over, eyes widening before slightly pouting. Fumiya winces, still not quite used to the radiance. Oh, this is wonderful! Would it be okay if we had a complete version of this to put up in some places? We'll pay and credit you, of course. I just wouldn't want this work to go unseen.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Yea, I think so! Mainly around school, but I've seen a lot of flyers around the school, so I could be wrong. But, I'm sure your strategy is working out great, especially with how good your music is!

Sakura wasn't sure what she was expecting when she shows Miyuna the poster concept, but she most certainly wasn't expecting this. She still smiles, though, simply happy people are enjoying her art.

Thank you, Yumu! And I don't see why not! You don't have to pay me, just crediting me is fine! I don't want to charge you for something I did just because I wanted to. That, and I owe Miyu after she helped me out of my artist's block last we met.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Oh, yeah, I've put a lot of flyers up. Not even just for LLFS, but for clubs and other events, too. So I at least know where to put them so they get the most attention! Miyuna chuckles.

Yumu hesitates for a second before letting out a sigh. Well, if that's what you want, then I'll do just that. It's nice that you want to do that for Miyu.

But don't be surprised if he pays you anyway. Fumiya grumbles, trying to fix his sound.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Fair enough! I mainly do a lot of posts online for my group and such, so I know how to advertise decently digitally, but you'd probably do better than me in the physical setting. Which I think has been proven, cuz I'm here! Sakura replies with a giggle before turning back to Yumu and Fumiya.

Seriously, there's no need for payment, Yumu. While I really do appreciate it, I always feel a bit icky charging my friends for things I do just cuz I want to. I do commissions, yes, but in a case like this? I don't think it'd fit, nor would I want to.

She briefly glances over to Fumiya, her face taking on a concerned expression. And do you need help, Fumiya? I might not usually play the drums and such, but if it's something with the sound system, I'm good at fixing that.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Well, I mean, we met outside of school. I just forced you to come, hehe. Miyuna teased. But I guess that means I can probably find your group somehow.

..I understand that feeling, yeah. Thank you so much for offering to do this for us. Yumu says simply, while Fumiya slightly glares.

No, I don't. I'm fine.

Aw, don't be so prickly, Fumi. It's probably fine, you're just too hard on yourself! She turns to Sakura. Yumu genuinely only wanted him as their guitarist. And yet he's so mean to himself!

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

You didn't force me to come, Miyu! I wanted to come! Besides, I've been wanting to spend some time with you since we last met. And yea, if you find my socials and such, you'll probably find my group!

And of course, Yumu! I can send it to you guys once it's done, and you can print it or do whatever you want with it!

She nods in understanding to Fumiya, also noticing how she had accidentally said 'drums' instead of guitar. Her cheeks flush in embarrassment, but she doesn't comment on it further.

I get that. . . The whole 'being mean to yourself' thing, I mean. I tend to do the same with my art sometimes. . . But, I didn't notice anything that sounded bad. I thought it all sounded good!

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

I know, I know, I jest! But I'm glad you wanted to hang out. I really wanted to do that too!

Yumu nods, heading back to his mic stand. Yes, that would be good. And, again, thank you.

Fumiya flushed a little as well, embarrassed by the praise. He tapped his foot on the floor. ..Thanks, I guess. Whatever. Though he was being.. a bit rude, he did appreciate the praise.

The group decided to do a couple more songs, sounding good despite the small little mistakes which weren't very noticeable. Once the final song was done, everyone went to go sit down.

Soo, how was that, huh? Pretty good? Hana asked with a grin.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Those all sounded amazing! Sakura replies to Hana, her usual bright and happy expression on her face. I was on the edge of my seat for each song! You all work so well together!

While the band had been performing, Sakura had continued to work on the poster, trying to settles on the colors and other small details until she got it just right. And she thinks she finally did.

All the little chibis of each band member was at the bottom with their instruments, fully colored and shaded in. Above them was the band name in yellow bubble letters, along with a space she left just for writing concert locations and dates. That, and those same little pink hearts and stars from before were still there.

Oh! And I finished the poster design, if you all wanna take a look! I want to make sure you all like it before I send it to you! She offers, turning her tablet to the entire band to show them the finished product she had made.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

I'm glad you think so. I think our sound is pretty great, too. Yumu replies with a tiny grin. He took great pride in all of his teammates. He couldn't have done this without them, after all. Everyone was important.

The group all gathered to look at the flyer, nodding in approval. It looks so good! If I saw that around I'd definitely at least take a picture of it. Plus, I think you captured our personalities well, hehe.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura smiles happily back at Yumu, before turning her attention back to the others. They all did good. And she just hopes she did good as well.

At Hana's praise, her smiles gets wider, her cheeks taking on that familiar pink hue. Thank you! I'm glad I got the personality vibes down. I was a bit worried about that, having just met most of you and all.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

For just meeting us, I think you got it very well! Guess we made a good first impression or whatever. But perhaps we could hang out more! Maybe come to more rehearsals, if you'd like.

Miyuna giggles. Yes, that'd be fun! Plus, most of us like meeting new people. Some are.. a bit more reserved, though. She glances at Shirato and Fumiya, Fumiya rolling his eyes. Tsk.

C'mon, don't be like that! She looks back at Sakura. They're not bad or scary people, I promise. Shirato's just a bit shyer and Fumiya gets to be a bit angry.. but they're really great once you get to know them!

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

You guys really did! And thank you! Hanging out more would definitely be nice, when my schedule allows it. As long as it's not on Wednesdays, we should be good. I do a lot of those days, unfortunately. . .

Sakura follows Miyuna's gaze briefly before turning her attention back to her friend, nodding in understanding. I get that. Most of my groupmates are somewhat reserved as well, so I get that it takes time to open up. Granted, I'm saying that when all of us are streamers. . . But I think you get the idea.

And I figured they're not scary. Trust me, if you want scary, put my friend Shinju in front of a horror game. She'll scream and swear more than the characters in the game. But, just like anyone, she's also great once you get to know her. As I'm certain everyone here is.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Ah, yeah, I get it, we got our busy days too. But I'll be sure to invite you out whenever. Don't feel bad if you can't make it though, there's always next time~

Miyuna perks up at the mention of streaming, seeming very interested but deciding not to push. Oh my goodness, yeah, that is pretty scary.. funny, but scary. But I'm sure she is if she's friends with you.

-🦋

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Thanks, Miyu. And I'll repeat the same sentiment to you. I'll try to invite you out whenever I'm free, but if things are chaotic, don't feel too bad. Just like you said, there's always next time.

Sakura giggles, nodding along as Miyuna speaks. Yea, she's definitely popular for that regard. But, when she's not on camera, she's definitely a good person. Even if she still sometimes has a bit of a foul mouth.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Aw, yay! I'm hoping we hang out a lot! But I'm pretty sure we'll have to close up soon, since it's getting a little bit late.. and I think someone I know is gonna go meet up with someone special~ Miyuna teases Fumiya with a smirk. He just rolls his eyes.

Cut that shit out. Anyway.. thank you for watching us play. I hope you'll continue to support us?

Hana nudges him slightly. C'mon, don't be so serious! But, yes, thank you!

-🦋 + 🦎 + 🎸

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Of course! I hope we can hang out together lots, too! And yea, I probably need to head home soon. Don't wanna be out too late, especially since I wanna make sure to add some of the last touches to this poster before sending it to you.

And yes, Fumiya! I'll be happy to keep supporting you guys! I really like your music! She replies with a grin, before turning to Hana.

And it's no problem, Hana! By the way, you'll have to tell me where you get your outfits. They look so cute!

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Fumiya and Miyuna exchange a small look as Sakura said she really liked their music, both smiling, though Fumiya's was much smaller.

Hana chuckles, jokingly putting her nail to her mouth. Awh, shucks. Don't you even worry, queen, I'll literally compile a list of my favorite stores and give it to you when we next see each other. I'm pretty sure this entire fit is from that one store that's by the food court and the bookstore in the mall, but obviously that doesn't quite narrow it down. But- enough of that. Be safe, alrighty?

-🦋 + 🦎 + 🎸

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura couldn't help but smile at Miyuna and Fumiya's smiles, quite happy herself. Not just with how good their music sounded, but that she could make them feel happy, too.

She then turns her attention back to Hana, nodding as she speaks. Thanks for that, Hana! And I think I know what store you're talking about, but I'll definitely be looking forward to that list! And yes, I'll make sure I get home safe. Same goes for all of you.

She turns her attention to Miyuna next, happily hugging her without much hesitation. Thank you so much for inviting me. I'll be sure to text you and send you the poster design once it's done, alright? She then directs her attention to all the others, waving as she leaves. I'll see you guys next time!

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Miyuna had been in incredibly high spirits after her interaction with Sakura on the train. Well, she was usually in high spirits, but now it felt like there was some sort of excitable aura around her.

She leads her into the garage, putting her arms out. Tada~ This is where we practice. Well, they do, anyway. I'm their manager helper thing. Take a seat wherever, we've got very comfy couches and bean bags.

So you must be the one who's gotten Miyu in such a good mood, Yumu lightly teases before bowing slightly, his radiant vibe almost overwhelming. It's a pleasure to meet and perform for you today. My name is Hayashi Yumu. We're only rehearsing, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes..

Then she just. . . Kept drawing. She wasn't trying to be rude or ignore them, but she suddenly had so many ideas flowing in her head that she had to put down on her canvas before they left.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

It's nice to meet you too! My name is Hana, I play bass and such. Bunny boy is Shirato, and that grump is Fumiya. Hana gestures to each of them before heading to her designated spot. Fumiya rolls his eyes, and Shirato gives a small wave.

Yumu blinked as he saw her start to draw, figuring she was just going to listen and not watch, which settled his nerves a little. Okayy.. let's warm up with something soft and easy, yeah?

Hana and Miyuna nod. Hana made sure everyone was comfortable before starting them off, Miyuna leaning closer to Sakura. 'Kay, just in case you couldn't tell.. Yumu is main vocals and secondary guitar, Hana is main guitar and secondary vocals.. haha, funny how that works. Anyway. Fumiya is on bass, and Shirato is obviously on drums. And I just.. do stuff, I guess. Make flyers, take photos and videos, social media stuff.. whatever it is I probably do it. Oh, and they're called Love Letters from Shibuya, if I haven't mentioned that already. Aren't they good?

They all sounded pretty good, but there were some very slight mistakes coming from Fumiya. His face hardened, but he didn't say a word.

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura nods as Hana introduces the group, continuing to doodle all of them as chibis. She also listens to Miyuna's explanation, barely noting any of the mistakes that Fumiya made. To be fair, she usually didn't perform rock music, so she probably wouldn't notice it, but still.

However, her attention seems to be caught when Miyuna mentions making flyers for the band.

Flyers? I think I've seen some of them around. . . But that gives me another idea. Hold on. . . And yes, they do sound good. Really good! Sakura is quick to start sketching on a new canvas, her tongue sticking out in concentration. After a second, she turns the canvas to Miyuna, a small smile on her face.

Something like this? She asks, a curious look in her eyes. On the canvas was a poster with the little chibis she designed of LLFS with their instruments, along with their band name across the top in bubble letters and with other little hearts and stars scattered across a bright and colorful background.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Have you? Oh, good. Guess I put them in good places, hehe. Miyuna tilts her head slightly as Sakura starts drawing again, not realizing what she was doing until she actually saw it.

Oh my- that's adorable! That would definitely catch people's eye! Guys, pause for a second!

Yumu had already finished the song, but he stops moving for a second before approaching. He hovers over, eyes widening before slightly pouting. Fumiya winces, still not quite used to the radiance. Oh, this is wonderful! Would it be okay if we had a complete version of this to put up in some places? We'll pay and credit you, of course. I just wouldn't want this work to go unseen.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Yea, I think so! Mainly around school, but I've seen a lot of flyers around the school, so I could be wrong. But, I'm sure your strategy is working out great, especially with how good your music is!

Sakura wasn't sure what she was expecting when she shows Miyuna the poster concept, but she most certainly wasn't expecting this. She still smiles, though, simply happy people are enjoying her art.

Thank you, Yumu! And I don't see why not! You don't have to pay me, just crediting me is fine! I don't want to charge you for something I did just because I wanted to. That, and I owe Miyu after she helped me out of my artist's block last we met.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Oh, yeah, I've put a lot of flyers up. Not even just for LLFS, but for clubs and other events, too. So I at least know where to put them so they get the most attention! Miyuna chuckles.

Yumu hesitates for a second before letting out a sigh. Well, if that's what you want, then I'll do just that. It's nice that you want to do that for Miyu.

But don't be surprised if he pays you anyway. Fumiya grumbles, trying to fix his sound.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Fair enough! I mainly do a lot of posts online for my group and such, so I know how to advertise decently digitally, but you'd probably do better than me in the physical setting. Which I think has been proven, cuz I'm here! Sakura replies with a giggle before turning back to Yumu and Fumiya.

Seriously, there's no need for payment, Yumu. While I really do appreciate it, I always feel a bit icky charging my friends for things I do just cuz I want to. I do commissions, yes, but in a case like this? I don't think it'd fit, nor would I want to.

She briefly glances over to Fumiya, her face taking on a concerned expression. And do you need help, Fumiya? I might not usually play the drums and such, but if it's something with the sound system, I'm good at fixing that.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Well, I mean, we met outside of school. I just forced you to come, hehe. Miyuna teased. But I guess that means I can probably find your group somehow.

..I understand that feeling, yeah. Thank you so much for offering to do this for us. Yumu says simply, while Fumiya slightly glares.

No, I don't. I'm fine.

Aw, don't be so prickly, Fumi. It's probably fine, you're just too hard on yourself! She turns to Sakura. Yumu genuinely only wanted him as their guitarist. And yet he's so mean to himself!

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

You didn't force me to come, Miyu! I wanted to come! Besides, I've been wanting to spend some time with you since we last met. And yea, if you find my socials and such, you'll probably find my group!

And of course, Yumu! I can send it to you guys once it's done, and you can print it or do whatever you want with it!

She nods in understanding to Fumiya, also noticing how she had accidentally said 'drums' instead of guitar. Her cheeks flush in embarrassment, but she doesn't comment on it further.

I get that. . . The whole 'being mean to yourself' thing, I mean. I tend to do the same with my art sometimes. . . But, I didn't notice anything that sounded bad. I thought it all sounded good!

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

I know, I know, I jest! But I'm glad you wanted to hang out. I really wanted to do that too!

Yumu nods, heading back to his mic stand. Yes, that would be good. And, again, thank you.

Fumiya flushed a little as well, embarrassed by the praise. He tapped his foot on the floor. ..Thanks, I guess. Whatever. Though he was being.. a bit rude, he did appreciate the praise.

The group decided to do a couple more songs, sounding good despite the small little mistakes which weren't very noticeable. Once the final song was done, everyone went to go sit down.

Soo, how was that, huh? Pretty good? Hana asked with a grin.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Those all sounded amazing! Sakura replies to Hana, her usual bright and happy expression on her face. I was on the edge of my seat for each song! You all work so well together!

While the band had been performing, Sakura had continued to work on the poster, trying to settles on the colors and other small details until she got it just right. And she thinks she finally did.

All the little chibis of each band member was at the bottom with their instruments, fully colored and shaded in. Above them was the band name in yellow bubble letters, along with a space she left just for writing concert locations and dates. That, and those same little pink hearts and stars from before were still there.

Oh! And I finished the poster design, if you all wanna take a look! I want to make sure you all like it before I send it to you! She offers, turning her tablet to the entire band to show them the finished product she had made.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

I'm glad you think so. I think our sound is pretty great, too. Yumu replies with a tiny grin. He took great pride in all of his teammates. He couldn't have done this without them, after all. Everyone was important.

The group all gathered to look at the flyer, nodding in approval. It looks so good! If I saw that around I'd definitely at least take a picture of it. Plus, I think you captured our personalities well, hehe.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura smiles happily back at Yumu, before turning her attention back to the others. They all did good. And she just hopes she did good as well.

At Hana's praise, her smiles gets wider, her cheeks taking on that familiar pink hue. Thank you! I'm glad I got the personality vibes down. I was a bit worried about that, having just met most of you and all.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

For just meeting us, I think you got it very well! Guess we made a good first impression or whatever. But perhaps we could hang out more! Maybe come to more rehearsals, if you'd like.

Miyuna giggles. Yes, that'd be fun! Plus, most of us like meeting new people. Some are.. a bit more reserved, though. She glances at Shirato and Fumiya, Fumiya rolling his eyes. Tsk.

C'mon, don't be like that! She looks back at Sakura. They're not bad or scary people, I promise. Shirato's just a bit shyer and Fumiya gets to be a bit angry.. but they're really great once you get to know them!

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

You guys really did! And thank you! Hanging out more would definitely be nice, when my schedule allows it. As long as it's not on Wednesdays, we should be good. I do a lot of those days, unfortunately. . .

Sakura follows Miyuna's gaze briefly before turning her attention back to her friend, nodding in understanding. I get that. Most of my groupmates are somewhat reserved as well, so I get that it takes time to open up. Granted, I'm saying that when all of us are streamers. . . But I think you get the idea.

And I figured they're not scary. Trust me, if you want scary, put my friend Shinju in front of a horror game. She'll scream and swear more than the characters in the game. But, just like anyone, she's also great once you get to know her. As I'm certain everyone here is.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Ah, yeah, I get it, we got our busy days too. But I'll be sure to invite you out whenever. Don't feel bad if you can't make it though, there's always next time~

Miyuna perks up at the mention of streaming, seeming very interested but deciding not to push. Oh my goodness, yeah, that is pretty scary.. funny, but scary. But I'm sure she is if she's friends with you.

-🦋

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Thanks, Miyu. And I'll repeat the same sentiment to you. I'll try to invite you out whenever I'm free, but if things are chaotic, don't feel too bad. Just like you said, there's always next time.

Sakura giggles, nodding along as Miyuna speaks. Yea, she's definitely popular for that regard. But, when she's not on camera, she's definitely a good person. Even if she still sometimes has a bit of a foul mouth.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Aw, yay! I'm hoping we hang out a lot! But I'm pretty sure we'll have to close up soon, since it's getting a little bit late.. and I think someone I know is gonna go meet up with someone special~ Miyuna teases Fumiya with a smirk. He just rolls his eyes.

Cut that shit out. Anyway.. thank you for watching us play. I hope you'll continue to support us?

Hana nudges him slightly. C'mon, don't be so serious! But, yes, thank you!

-🦋 + 🦎 + 🎸

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Of course! I hope we can hang out together lots, too! And yea, I probably need to head home soon. Don't wanna be out too late, especially since I wanna make sure to add some of the last touches to this poster before sending it to you.

And yes, Fumiya! I'll be happy to keep supporting you guys! I really like your music! She replies with a grin, before turning to Hana.

And it's no problem, Hana! By the way, you'll have to tell me where you get your outfits. They look so cute!

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Miyuna had been in incredibly high spirits after her interaction with Sakura on the train. Well, she was usually in high spirits, but now it felt like there was some sort of excitable aura around her. She was incredibly happy to meet someone that matched her vibe, and not to mention, she was totally cool!

She had been setting up for rehearsal with Yumu when she got an idea. Sakura could come and watch! Of course, she had to ask Yumu and the others, but an audience member wouldn't hurt, right?

Miyuna quickly typed Sakura's number into her phone and texted her.

<Hi hi! It's Miyuna! I help out with my friend's band and I wanted to ask if you wanted to come and watch rehearsal at my house? There will be food and drinks and stuff, and me, so you won't get bored :) Hopefully anyway. No pressure if not of course!! I just wanna show off lol>

She sends over her address, waiting for a text back.

- Hasegawa Miyuna 🦋 (@lovelettersfromshibuya)

Sakura, much like Miyuna, was in quite high spirits after meeting her on the train. Her motivation was high, she was really happy, and she even had done a couple more little doodles based on what she remembered of her photos and a couple of Miyuna, too.

She was doodling some more when she got the text from her, the artist putting her stylus in its holder so it wouldn't get lost. Reading over the message, she smiles, quickly typing something back.

<Hey, Miyu! I'd be happy to come! And I highly doubted I'd get bored, but I might bring my tablet to sketch if anything inspires me, if that's alright! I'll be there in about fifteen minutes!>

Hopping to her feet, Sakura quickly packs her art bag, making sure everything was in it before throwing her bag over her shoulder and heading off towards Miyuna's house. It did take her a bit, but she eventually made it. She knocks on the door, sending a text to Miyuna that she was there.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

<Yay! Glad you have that much faith in me, see you soon>

Miyuna chuckled to herself, making sure everything was as clean and orderly as possible. Yumu was intrigued, but kept working on setting everything up. He perked up once he heard the knock, but Miyuna darted to the door before he could even say anything.

Sakura! You're here! Miyuna gave her a little side hug before letting her inside. Alright! It's just me and Yumu currently, but everyone else should be here soon. Here, come!

She leads her into the garage, putting her arms out. Tada~ This is where we practice. Well, they do, anyway. I'm their manager helper thing. Take a seat wherever, we've got very comfy couches and bean bags.

So you must be the one who's gotten Miyu in such a good mood, Yumu lightly teases before bowing slightly, his radiant vibe almost overwhelming. It's a pleasure to meet and perform for you today. My name is Hayashi Yumu. We're only rehearsing, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes..

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura smiles wide when Miyuna opens the door, not wearing the mask she was wearing on the train last time they met. Hey, Miyu! Thank you again for inviting me! She replies with a smile, following behind her friend to the garage.

She takes a look around the garage once they reach it, nodding in understanding at Miyuna's explanation. Got it. And this all looks so cool, Miyu! And I bet you're an amazing manager for them. As she speaks, she sits herself down on one of the beanbags, glancing over to Yumu when he speaks.

I suppose I am! Sakura replies playfully, slightly overwhelmed by the radiance in front of her. And it's nice to meet you as well, Yumu! It's alright if any mistakes are made, by the way. I get it! While I don't use the same instrumentals you guys use for your group, I definitely understand rehearsal mistakes. So don't worry too much about it!

After she finishes talking, she fishes her drawing tablet out of her bag, turning to Miyuna with an excited grin. Do you wanna see some of the stuff I've drawn since the train, Miyu?

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Don't even worry about it! Miyuna chuckles, watching as Sakura sat down on a bean bag. She decided to sit down next to her, adjusting her socks.

I appreciate your kindness. I promise we'll try our best regardless. Yumu replies, and Miyuna just shakes her head.

He can be so formal sometimes, ignore him. I'd love to see!

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura continues to smile when Miyuna sits down next to her, adjusting herself briefly on the beanbag to get more comfortable. Even if she was already comfortable and somewhat sinking into it. . .

It's no problem, Yumu! And you don't need to be so formal with me! But, if you want to, I'm not going to stop you. And I can't wait to hear the performance!

Sakura turns her attention back to Miyuna, showing her some of the doodles she drew based on what she remembered of her photos, along with a page full of chibi doodles, a good handful of them being Miyuna. I don't know why I got so focused on drawing you whenever I started doodling the chibis, but I think you certainly inspired me. She murmurs playfully, her cheeks faintly pink due to a tiny bit of embarrassment.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Ah, sorry! It just kinda happens.. Yumu laughs awkwardly, going back to fixing some tuning issues and adjusting the heights of things. Miyuna's face flushes at the sight, still grinning anyway.

Hehe, I'm glad I get to be your muse! You always make me look super duper cute, so I can't be mad. Do you have, like, photographic memory or something? These look so accurate!

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

It's alright, Yumu! You don't need to apologize! Sakura smiles genuinely at him before turning back to Miyuna, noting the slight flush of her cheeks. She supposed it was probably cuz of the drawings, but she wasn't too sure why. She wasn't going to complain, though, especially when her friend was smiling.

Thank you! And no, I don't think I have a photographic memory. I just. . . How do I explain this? I tend to remember things I found interesting and/or want to use for inspiration later, if that makes sense. She starts doodling again as she speaks, a little chibi of Yumu now on the canvas with the others. That, and I also enjoy drawing people I like. Speaking of which, here, Yumu! Whaddya think? She turns her tablet towards him with a smile on her face.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Ohh, yeah! That makes sense. Still, these look incredible when just going off of memory! You're so cool, Sakura! Miyuna giggles, looking over at the chibi Sakura just drew.

Yumu looked over as his name was called, looking over the drawing with a smile. Oh, wow, that's so cute! I'm glad you like me, ehe. Miyuna wasn't kidding when she said you had talent.

-🦋+ 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura's cheeks went pink again, but she's smiling happily at Miyuna's words. Thank you, Miyu! You're really cool, too! Her attention turns back to Yumu when he speaks, her smile still wide.

And thank you as well, Yumu! And of course I like you! Miyu, too! You're both such interesting people, after all. She turns back to Miyuna, tilting her head slightly to the side, a curious look in her eyes. By the way, when does the rehearsal start? I'm still so excited to listen!

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Haha, I'm flattered.. Yumu hummed. Miyuna simply chuckled. You're one of the most popular boys at your school and you still get flattered by that.. but thank you!

Yumu thinks about the question briefly. When everyone else comes in-

Suddenly, Hana, Shirato and Fumiya all come in from the door leading into the house. Hey, we're here! Sorry, I forgot to mention I was giving them a ride here.. She then notices Sakura sitting there. Shirato and Fumiya share a silent glance. Oh, what's up! Are you here to watch?

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura's attention bounces between everyone once the three enter, her face briefly confused before her usual excited smile slid back into place.

I am, yea! My name's Sakura, and it's nice to meet all of you! She replies, still just as excited as when she met Miyuna and Yumu not that long ago. Miyu invited me to come and watch you guys play, and I can't wait to hear your guy's music!

That, and draw some more. Which, speaking of which, she went right back to the drawing tablet, quickly sketching out chibis of Fumiya, Hana, and Shirato before the ideas for them left her head.

And I just.. do stuff, I guess. Make flyers, take photos and videos, social media stuff.. whatever it is I probably do it. Oh, and they're called Love Letters from Shibuya, if I haven't mentioned that already. Aren't they good?

They all sounded pretty good, but there were some very slight mistakes coming from Fumiya. His face hardened, but he didn't say a word.

Miyuna perks up at the mention of streaming, seeming very interested but deciding not to push. Oh my goodness, yeah, that is pretty scary.. funny, but scary. But I'm sure she is if she's friends with you.

-🦋

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Thanks, Miyu. And I'll repeat the same sentiment to you. I'll try to invite you out whenever I'm free, but if things are chaotic, don't feel too bad. Just like you said, there's always next time.

Sakura giggles, nodding along as Miyuna speaks. Yea, she's definitely popular for that regard. But, when she's not on camera, she's definitely a good person. Even if she still sometimes has a bit of a foul mouth.

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Miyuna had been in incredibly high spirits after her interaction with Sakura on the train. Well, she was usually in high spirits, but now it felt like there was some sort of excitable aura around her. She was incredibly happy to meet someone that matched her vibe, and not to mention, she was totally cool!

She had been setting up for rehearsal with Yumu when she got an idea. Sakura could come and watch! Of course, she had to ask Yumu and the others, but an audience member wouldn't hurt, right?

Miyuna quickly typed Sakura's number into her phone and texted her.

<Hi hi! It's Miyuna! I help out with my friend's band and I wanted to ask if you wanted to come and watch rehearsal at my house? There will be food and drinks and stuff, and me, so you won't get bored :) Hopefully anyway. No pressure if not of course!! I just wanna show off lol>

She sends over her address, waiting for a text back.

- Hasegawa Miyuna 🦋 (@lovelettersfromshibuya)

Sakura, much like Miyuna, was in quite high spirits after meeting her on the train. Her motivation was high, she was really happy, and she even had done a couple more little doodles based on what she remembered of her photos and a couple of Miyuna, too.

She was doodling some more when she got the text from her, the artist putting her stylus in its holder so it wouldn't get lost. Reading over the message, she smiles, quickly typing something back.

<Hey, Miyu! I'd be happy to come! And I highly doubted I'd get bored, but I might bring my tablet to sketch if anything inspires me, if that's alright! I'll be there in about fifteen minutes!>

Hopping to her feet, Sakura quickly packs her art bag, making sure everything was in it before throwing her bag over her shoulder and heading off towards Miyuna's house. It did take her a bit, but she eventually made it. She knocks on the door, sending a text to Miyuna that she was there.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

<Yay! Glad you have that much faith in me, see you soon>

Miyuna chuckled to herself, making sure everything was as clean and orderly as possible. Yumu was intrigued, but kept working on setting everything up. He perked up once he heard the knock, but Miyuna darted to the door before he could even say anything.

Sakura! You're here! Miyuna gave her a little side hug before letting her inside. Alright! It's just me and Yumu currently, but everyone else should be here soon. Here, come!

She leads her into the garage, putting her arms out. Tada~ This is where we practice. Well, they do, anyway. I'm their manager helper thing. Take a seat wherever, we've got very comfy couches and bean bags.

So you must be the one who's gotten Miyu in such a good mood, Yumu lightly teases before bowing slightly, his radiant vibe almost overwhelming. It's a pleasure to meet and perform for you today. My name is Hayashi Yumu. We're only rehearsing, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes..

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura smiles wide when Miyuna opens the door, not wearing the mask she was wearing on the train last time they met. Hey, Miyu! Thank you again for inviting me! She replies with a smile, following behind her friend to the garage.

She takes a look around the garage once they reach it, nodding in understanding at Miyuna's explanation. Got it. And this all looks so cool, Miyu! And I bet you're an amazing manager for them. As she speaks, she sits herself down on one of the beanbags, glancing over to Yumu when he speaks.

I suppose I am! Sakura replies playfully, slightly overwhelmed by the radiance in front of her. And it's nice to meet you as well, Yumu! It's alright if any mistakes are made, by the way. I get it! While I don't use the same instrumentals you guys use for your group, I definitely understand rehearsal mistakes. So don't worry too much about it!

After she finishes talking, she fishes her drawing tablet out of her bag, turning to Miyuna with an excited grin. Do you wanna see some of the stuff I've drawn since the train, Miyu?

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Don't even worry about it! Miyuna chuckles, watching as Sakura sat down on a bean bag. She decided to sit down next to her, adjusting her socks.

I appreciate your kindness. I promise we'll try our best regardless. Yumu replies, and Miyuna just shakes her head.

He can be so formal sometimes, ignore him. I'd love to see!

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura continues to smile when Miyuna sits down next to her, adjusting herself briefly on the beanbag to get more comfortable. Even if she was already comfortable and somewhat sinking into it. . .

It's no problem, Yumu! And you don't need to be so formal with me! But, if you want to, I'm not going to stop you. And I can't wait to hear the performance!

Sakura turns her attention back to Miyuna, showing her some of the doodles she drew based on what she remembered of her photos, along with a page full of chibi doodles, a good handful of them being Miyuna. I don't know why I got so focused on drawing you whenever I started doodling the chibis, but I think you certainly inspired me. She murmurs playfully, her cheeks faintly pink due to a tiny bit of embarrassment.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Ah, sorry! It just kinda happens.. Yumu laughs awkwardly, going back to fixing some tuning issues and adjusting the heights of things. Miyuna's face flushes at the sight, still grinning anyway.

Hehe, I'm glad I get to be your muse! You always make me look super duper cute, so I can't be mad. Do you have, like, photographic memory or something? These look so accurate!

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

It's alright, Yumu! You don't need to apologize! Sakura smiles genuinely at him before turning back to Miyuna, noting the slight flush of her cheeks. She supposed it was probably cuz of the drawings, but she wasn't too sure why. She wasn't going to complain, though, especially when her friend was smiling.

Thank you! And no, I don't think I have a photographic memory. I just. . . How do I explain this? I tend to remember things I found interesting and/or want to use for inspiration later, if that makes sense. She starts doodling again as she speaks, a little chibi of Yumu now on the canvas with the others. That, and I also enjoy drawing people I like. Speaking of which, here, Yumu! Whaddya think? She turns her tablet towards him with a smile on her face.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Ohh, yeah! That makes sense. Still, these look incredible when just going off of memory! You're so cool, Sakura! Miyuna giggles, looking over at the chibi Sakura just drew.

Yumu looked over as his name was called, looking over the drawing with a smile. Oh, wow, that's so cute! I'm glad you like me, ehe. Miyuna wasn't kidding when she said you had talent.

-🦋+ 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura's cheeks went pink again, but she's smiling happily at Miyuna's words. Thank you, Miyu! You're really cool, too! Her attention turns back to Yumu when he speaks, her smile still wide.

And thank you as well, Yumu! And of course I like you! Miyu, too! You're both such interesting people, after all. She turns back to Miyuna, tilting her head slightly to the side, a curious look in her eyes. By the way, when does the rehearsal start? I'm still so excited to listen!

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Haha, I'm flattered.. Yumu hummed. Miyuna simply chuckled. You're one of the most popular boys at your school and you still get flattered by that.. but thank you!

Yumu thinks about the question briefly. When everyone else comes in-

Suddenly, Hana, Shirato and Fumiya all come in from the door leading into the house. Hey, we're here! Sorry, I forgot to mention I was giving them a ride here.. She then notices Sakura sitting there. Shirato and Fumiya share a silent glance. Oh, what's up! Are you here to watch?

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura's attention bounces between everyone once the three enter, her face briefly confused before her usual excited smile slid back into place.

I am, yea! My name's Sakura, and it's nice to meet all of you! She replies, still just as excited as when she met Miyuna and Yumu not that long ago. Miyu invited me to come and watch you guys play, and I can't wait to hear your guy's music!

That, and draw some more. Which, speaking of which, she went right back to the drawing tablet, quickly sketching out chibis of Fumiya, Hana, and Shirato before the ideas for them left her head. Then she just. . . Kept drawing. She wasn't trying to be rude or ignore them, but she suddenly had so many ideas flowing in her head that she had to put down on her canvas before they left.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

It's nice to meet you too! My name is Hana, I play bass and such. Bunny boy is Shirato, and that grump is Fumiya. Hana gestures to each of them before heading to her designated spot. Fumiya rolls his eyes, and Shirato gives a small wave.

Yumu blinked as he saw her start to draw, figuring she was just going to listen and not watch, which settled his nerves a little. Okayy.. let's warm up with something soft and easy, yeah?

Hana and Miyuna nod. Hana made sure everyone was comfortable before starting them off, Miyuna leaning closer to Sakura. 'Kay, just in case you couldn't tell.. Yumu is main vocals and secondary guitar, Hana is main guitar and secondary vocals.. haha, funny how that works. Anyway. Fumiya is on bass, and Shirato is obviously on drums. And I just.. do stuff, I guess. Make flyers, take photos and videos, social media stuff.. whatever it is I probably do it. Oh, and they're called Love Letters from Shibuya, if I haven't mentioned that already. Aren't they good?

They all sounded pretty good, but there were some very slight mistakes coming from Fumiya. His face hardened, but he didn't say a word.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura nods as Hana introduces the group, continuing to doodle all of them as chibis. She also listens to Miyuna's explanation, barely noting any of the mistakes that Fumiya made. To be fair, she usually didn't perform rock music, so she probably wouldn't notice it, but still.

However, her attention seems to be caught when Miyuna mentions making flyers for the band.

Flyers? I think I've seen some of them around. . . But that gives me another idea. Hold on. . . And yes, they do sound good. Really good! Sakura is quick to start sketching on a new canvas, her tongue sticking out in concentration. After a second, she turns the canvas to Miyuna, a small smile on her face.

Something like this? She asks, a curious look in her eyes. On the canvas was a poster with the little chibis she designed of LLFS with their instruments, along with their band name across the top in bubble letters and with other little hearts and stars scattered across a bright and colorful background.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Have you? Oh, good. Guess I put them in good places, hehe. Miyuna tilts her head slightly as Sakura starts drawing again, not realizing what she was doing until she actually saw it.

Oh my- that's adorable! That would definitely catch people's eye! Guys, pause for a second!

Yumu had already finished the song, but he stops moving for a second before approaching. He hovers over, eyes widening before slightly pouting. Fumiya winces, still not quite used to the radiance. Oh, this is wonderful! Would it be okay if we had a complete version of this to put up in some places? We'll pay and credit you, of course. I just wouldn't want this work to go unseen.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Yea, I think so! Mainly around school, but I've seen a lot of flyers around the school, so I could be wrong. But, I'm sure your strategy is working out great, especially with how good your music is!

Sakura wasn't sure what she was expecting when she shows Miyuna the poster concept, but she most certainly wasn't expecting this. She still smiles, though, simply happy people are enjoying her art.

Thank you, Yumu! And I don't see why not! You don't have to pay me, just crediting me is fine! I don't want to charge you for something I did just because I wanted to. That, and I owe Miyu after she helped me out of my artist's block last we met.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Oh, yeah, I've put a lot of flyers up. Not even just for LLFS, but for clubs and other events, too. So I at least know where to put them so they get the most attention! Miyuna chuckles.

Yumu hesitates for a second before letting out a sigh. Well, if that's what you want, then I'll do just that. It's nice that you want to do that for Miyu.

But don't be surprised if he pays you anyway. Fumiya grumbles, trying to fix his sound.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Fair enough! I mainly do a lot of posts online for my group and such, so I know how to advertise decently digitally, but you'd probably do better than me in the physical setting. Which I think has been proven, cuz I'm here! Sakura replies with a giggle before turning back to Yumu and Fumiya.

Seriously, there's no need for payment, Yumu. While I really do appreciate it, I always feel a bit icky charging my friends for things I do just cuz I want to. I do commissions, yes, but in a case like this? I don't think it'd fit, nor would I want to.

She briefly glances over to Fumiya, her face taking on a concerned expression. And do you need help, Fumiya? I might not usually play the drums and such, but if it's something with the sound system, I'm good at fixing that.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Well, I mean, we met outside of school. I just forced you to come, hehe. Miyuna teased. But I guess that means I can probably find your group somehow.

..I understand that feeling, yeah. Thank you so much for offering to do this for us. Yumu says simply, while Fumiya slightly glares.

No, I don't. I'm fine.

Aw, don't be so prickly, Fumi. It's probably fine, you're just too hard on yourself! She turns to Sakura. Yumu genuinely only wanted him as their guitarist. And yet he's so mean to himself!

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

You didn't force me to come, Miyu! I wanted to come! Besides, I've been wanting to spend some time with you since we last met. And yea, if you find my socials and such, you'll probably find my group!

And of course, Yumu! I can send it to you guys once it's done, and you can print it or do whatever you want with it!

She nods in understanding to Fumiya, also noticing how she had accidentally said 'drums' instead of guitar. Her cheeks flush in embarrassment, but she doesn't comment on it further.

I get that. . . The whole 'being mean to yourself' thing, I mean. I tend to do the same with my art sometimes. . . But, I didn't notice anything that sounded bad. I thought it all sounded good!

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

I know, I know, I jest! But I'm glad you wanted to hang out. I really wanted to do that too!

Yumu nods, heading back to his mic stand. Yes, that would be good. And, again, thank you.

Fumiya flushed a little as well, embarrassed by the praise. He tapped his foot on the floor. ..Thanks, I guess. Whatever. Though he was being.. a bit rude, he did appreciate the praise.

The group decided to do a couple more songs, sounding good despite the small little mistakes which weren't very noticeable. Once the final song was done, everyone went to go sit down.

Soo, how was that, huh? Pretty good? Hana asked with a grin.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Those all sounded amazing! Sakura replies to Hana, her usual bright and happy expression on her face. I was on the edge of my seat for each song! You all work so well together!

While the band had been performing, Sakura had continued to work on the poster, trying to settles on the colors and other small details until she got it just right. And she thinks she finally did.

All the little chibis of each band member was at the bottom with their instruments, fully colored and shaded in. Above them was the band name in yellow bubble letters, along with a space she left just for writing concert locations and dates. That, and those same little pink hearts and stars from before were still there.

Oh! And I finished the poster design, if you all wanna take a look! I want to make sure you all like it before I send it to you! She offers, turning her tablet to the entire band to show them the finished product she had made.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

I'm glad you think so. I think our sound is pretty great, too. Yumu replies with a tiny grin. He took great pride in all of his teammates. He couldn't have done this without them, after all. Everyone was important.

The group all gathered to look at the flyer, nodding in approval. It looks so good! If I saw that around I'd definitely at least take a picture of it. Plus, I think you captured our personalities well, hehe.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura smiles happily back at Yumu, before turning her attention back to the others. They all did good. And she just hopes she did good as well.

At Hana's praise, her smiles gets wider, her cheeks taking on that familiar pink hue. Thank you! I'm glad I got the personality vibes down. I was a bit worried about that, having just met most of you and all.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

For just meeting us, I think you got it very well! Guess we made a good first impression or whatever. But perhaps we could hang out more! Maybe come to more rehearsals, if you'd like.

Miyuna giggles. Yes, that'd be fun! Plus, most of us like meeting new people. Some are.. a bit more reserved, though. She glances at Shirato and Fumiya, Fumiya rolling his eyes. Tsk.

C'mon, don't be like that! She looks back at Sakura. They're not bad or scary people, I promise. Shirato's just a bit shyer and Fumiya gets to be a bit angry.. but they're really great once you get to know them!

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

You guys really did! And thank you! Hanging out more would definitely be nice, when my schedule allows it. As long as it's not on Wednesdays, we should be good. I do a lot of those days, unfortunately. . .

Sakura follows Miyuna's gaze briefly before turning her attention back to her friend, nodding in understanding. I get that. Most of my groupmates are somewhat reserved as well, so I get that it takes time to open up. Granted, I'm saying that when all of us are streamers. . . But I think you get the idea.

And I figured they're not scary. Trust me, if you want scary, put my friend Shinju in front of a horror game. She'll scream and swear more than the characters in the game. But, just like anyone, she's also great once you get to know her. As I'm certain everyone here is.

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Miyuna had been in incredibly high spirits after her interaction with Sakura on the train.

Oh, yeah, I've put a lot of flyers up. Not even just for LLFS, but for clubs and other events, too. So I at least know where to put them so they get the most attention! Miyuna chuckles.

Yumu hesitates for a second before letting out a sigh. Well, if that's what you want, then I'll do just that. It's nice that you want to do that for Miyu.

But don't be surprised if he pays you anyway. Fumiya grumbles, trying to fix his sound.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Fair enough! I mainly do a lot of posts online for my group and such, so I know how to advertise decently digitally, but you'd probably do better than me in the physical setting. Which I think has been proven, cuz I'm here! Sakura replies with a giggle before turning back to Yumu and Fumiya.

Seriously, there's no need for payment, Yumu. While I really do appreciate it, I always feel a bit icky charging my friends for things I do just cuz I want to. I do commissions, yes, but in a case like this? I don't think it'd fit, nor would I want to.

She briefly glances over to Fumiya, her face taking on a concerned expression. And do you need help, Fumiya? I might not usually play the drums and such, but if it's something with the sound system, I'm good at fixing that.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Well, I mean, we met outside of school. I just forced you to come, hehe. Miyuna teased. But I guess that means I can probably find your group somehow.

..I understand that feeling, yeah. Thank you so much for offering to do this for us. Yumu says simply, while Fumiya slightly glares.

No, I don't. I'm fine.

Aw, don't be so prickly, Fumi. It's probably fine, you're just too hard on yourself! She turns to Sakura. Yumu genuinely only wanted him as their guitarist. And yet he's so mean to himself!

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

You didn't force me to come, Miyu! I wanted to come! Besides, I've been wanting to spend some time with you since we last met. And yea, if you find my socials and such, you'll probably find my group!

And of course, Yumu! I can send it to you guys once it's done, and you can print it or do whatever you want with it!

She nods in understanding to Fumiya, also noticing how she had accidentally said 'drums' instead of guitar. Her cheeks flush in embarrassment, but she doesn't comment on it further.

I get that. . . The whole 'being mean to yourself' thing, I mean. I tend to do the same with my art sometimes. . . But, I didn't notice anything that sounded bad. I thought it all sounded good!

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

I know, I know, I jest! But I'm glad you wanted to hang out. I really wanted to do that too!

Yumu nods, heading back to his mic stand. Yes, that would be good. And, again, thank you.

Fumiya flushed a little as well, embarrassed by the praise. He tapped his foot on the floor. ..Thanks, I guess. Whatever. Though he was being.. a bit rude, he did appreciate the praise.

The group decided to do a couple more songs, sounding good despite the small little mistakes which weren't very noticeable. Once the final song was done, everyone went to go sit down.

Soo, how was that, huh? Pretty good? Hana asked with a grin.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Those all sounded amazing! Sakura replies to Hana, her usual bright and happy expression on her face. I was on the edge of my seat for each song! You all work so well together!

While the band had been performing, Sakura had continued to work on the poster, trying to settles on the colors and other small details until she got it just right. And she thinks she finally did.

All the little chibis of each band member was at the bottom with their instruments, fully colored and shaded in. Above them was the band name in yellow bubble letters, along with a space she left just for writing concert locations and dates. That, and those same little pink hearts and stars from before were still there.

Oh! And I finished the poster design, if you all wanna take a look! I want to make sure you all like it before I send it to you! She offers, turning her tablet to the entire band to show them the finished product she had made.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

I'm glad you think so. I think our sound is pretty great, too. Yumu replies with a tiny grin. He took great pride in all of his teammates. He couldn't have done this without them, after all. Everyone was important.

The group all gathered to look at the flyer, nodding in approval. It looks so good! If I saw that around I'd definitely at least take a picture of it. Plus, I think you captured our personalities well, hehe.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura smiles happily back at Yumu, before turning her attention back to the others. They all did good. And she just hopes she did good as well.

At Hana's praise, her smiles gets wider, her cheeks taking on that familiar pink hue. Thank you! I'm glad I got the personality vibes down. I was a bit worried about that, having just met most of you and all.

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Miyuna had been in incredibly high spirits after her interaction with Sakura on the train. Well, she was usually in high spirits, but now it felt like there was some sort of excitable aura around her. She was incredibly happy to meet someone that matched her vibe, and not to mention, she was totally cool!

She had been setting up for rehearsal with Yumu when she got an idea. Sakura could come and watch! Of course, she had to ask Yumu and the others, but an audience member wouldn't hurt, right?

Miyuna quickly typed Sakura's number into her phone and texted her.

<Hi hi! It's Miyuna! I help out with my friend's band and I wanted to ask if you wanted to come and watch rehearsal at my house? There will be food and drinks and stuff, and me, so you won't get bored :) Hopefully anyway. No pressure if not of course!! I just wanna show off lol>

She sends over her address, waiting for a text back.

- Hasegawa Miyuna 🦋 (@lovelettersfromshibuya)

Sakura, much like Miyuna, was in quite high spirits after meeting her on the train. Her motivation was high, she was really happy, and she even had done a couple more little doodles based on what she remembered of her photos and a couple of Miyuna, too.

She was doodling some more when she got the text from her, the artist putting her stylus in its holder so it wouldn't get lost. Reading over the message, she smiles, quickly typing something back.

<Hey, Miyu! I'd be happy to come! And I highly doubted I'd get bored, but I might bring my tablet to sketch if anything inspires me, if that's alright! I'll be there in about fifteen minutes!>

Hopping to her feet, Sakura quickly packs her art bag, making sure everything was in it before throwing her bag over her shoulder and heading off towards Miyuna's house. It did take her a bit, but she eventually made it. She knocks on the door, sending a text to Miyuna that she was there.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

<Yay! Glad you have that much faith in me, see you soon>

Miyuna chuckled to herself, making sure everything was as clean and orderly as possible. Yumu was intrigued, but kept working on setting everything up. He perked up once he heard the knock, but Miyuna darted to the door before he could even say anything.

Sakura! You're here! Miyuna gave her a little side hug before letting her inside. Alright! It's just me and Yumu currently, but everyone else should be here soon. Here, come!

She leads her into the garage, putting her arms out. Tada~ This is where we practice. Well, they do, anyway. I'm their manager helper thing. Take a seat wherever, we've got very comfy couches and bean bags.

So you must be the one who's gotten Miyu in such a good mood, Yumu lightly teases before bowing slightly, his radiant vibe almost overwhelming. It's a pleasure to meet and perform for you today. My name is Hayashi Yumu. We're only rehearsing, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes..

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura smiles wide when Miyuna opens the door, not wearing the mask she was wearing on the train last time they met. Hey, Miyu! Thank you again for inviting me! She replies with a smile, following behind her friend to the garage.

She takes a look around the garage once they reach it, nodding in understanding at Miyuna's explanation. Got it. And this all looks so cool, Miyu! And I bet you're an amazing manager for them. As she speaks, she sits herself down on one of the beanbags, glancing over to Yumu when he speaks.

I suppose I am! Sakura replies playfully, slightly overwhelmed by the radiance in front of her. And it's nice to meet you as well, Yumu! It's alright if any mistakes are made, by the way. I get it! While I don't use the same instrumentals you guys use for your group, I definitely understand rehearsal mistakes. So don't worry too much about it!

After she finishes talking, she fishes her drawing tablet out of her bag, turning to Miyuna with an excited grin. Do you wanna see some of the stuff I've drawn since the train, Miyu?

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Don't even worry about it! Miyuna chuckles, watching as Sakura sat down on a bean bag. She decided to sit down next to her, adjusting her socks.

I appreciate your kindness. I promise we'll try our best regardless. Yumu replies, and Miyuna just shakes her head.

He can be so formal sometimes, ignore him. I'd love to see!

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura continues to smile when Miyuna sits down next to her, adjusting herself briefly on the beanbag to get more comfortable. Even if she was already comfortable and somewhat sinking into it. . .

It's no problem, Yumu! And you don't need to be so formal with me! But, if you want to, I'm not going to stop you. And I can't wait to hear the performance!

Sakura turns her attention back to Miyuna, showing her some of the doodles she drew based on what she remembered of her photos, along with a page full of chibi doodles, a good handful of them being Miyuna. I don't know why I got so focused on drawing you whenever I started doodling the chibis, but I think you certainly inspired me. She murmurs playfully, her cheeks faintly pink due to a tiny bit of embarrassment.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Ah, sorry! It just kinda happens.. Yumu laughs awkwardly, going back to fixing some tuning issues and adjusting the heights of things. Miyuna's face flushes at the sight, still grinning anyway.

Hehe, I'm glad I get to be your muse! You always make me look super duper cute, so I can't be mad. Do you have, like, photographic memory or something? These look so accurate!

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

It's alright, Yumu! You don't need to apologize! Sakura smiles genuinely at him before turning back to Miyuna, noting the slight flush of her cheeks. She supposed it was probably cuz of the drawings, but she wasn't too sure why. She wasn't going to complain, though, especially when her friend was smiling.

Thank you! And no, I don't think I have a photographic memory. I just. . . How do I explain this? I tend to remember things I found interesting and/or want to use for inspiration later, if that makes sense. She starts doodling again as she speaks, a little chibi of Yumu now on the canvas with the others. That, and I also enjoy drawing people I like. Speaking of which, here, Yumu! Whaddya think? She turns her tablet towards him with a smile on her face.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Ohh, yeah! That makes sense. Still, these look incredible when just going off of memory! You're so cool, Sakura! Miyuna giggles, looking over at the chibi Sakura just drew.

Yumu looked over as his name was called, looking over the drawing with a smile. Oh, wow, that's so cute! I'm glad you like me, ehe. Miyuna wasn't kidding when she said you had talent.

-🦋+ 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura's cheeks went pink again, but she's smiling happily at Miyuna's words. Thank you, Miyu! You're really cool, too! Her attention turns back to Yumu when he speaks, her smile still wide.

And thank you as well, Yumu! And of course I like you! Miyu, too! You're both such interesting people, after all. She turns back to Miyuna, tilting her head slightly to the side, a curious look in her eyes. By the way, when does the rehearsal start? I'm still so excited to listen!

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Haha, I'm flattered.. Yumu hummed. Miyuna simply chuckled. You're one of the most popular boys at your school and you still get flattered by that.. but thank you!

Yumu thinks about the question briefly. When everyone else comes in-

Suddenly, Hana, Shirato and Fumiya all come in from the door leading into the house. Hey, we're here! Sorry, I forgot to mention I was giving them a ride here.. She then notices Sakura sitting there. Shirato and Fumiya share a silent glance. Oh, what's up! Are you here to watch?

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura's attention bounces between everyone once the three enter, her face briefly confused before her usual excited smile slid back into place.

I am, yea! My name's Sakura, and it's nice to meet all of you! She replies, still just as excited as when she met Miyuna and Yumu not that long ago. Miyu invited me to come and watch you guys play, and I can't wait to hear your guy's music!

That, and draw some more. Which, speaking of which, she went right back to the drawing tablet, quickly sketching out chibis of Fumiya, Hana, and Shirato before the ideas for them left her head. Then she just. . . Kept drawing. She wasn't trying to be rude or ignore them, but she suddenly had so many ideas flowing in her head that she had to put down on her canvas before they left.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

It's nice to meet you too! My name is Hana, I play bass and such. Bunny boy is Shirato, and that grump is Fumiya. Hana gestures to each of them before heading to her designated spot. Fumiya rolls his eyes, and Shirato gives a small wave.

Yumu blinked as he saw her start to draw, figuring she was just going to listen and not watch, which settled his nerves a little. Okayy.. let's warm up with something soft and easy, yeah?

Hana and Miyuna nod. Hana made sure everyone was comfortable before starting them off, Miyuna leaning closer to Sakura. 'Kay, just in case you couldn't tell.. Yumu is main vocals and secondary guitar, Hana is main guitar and secondary vocals.. haha, funny how that works. Anyway. Fumiya is on bass, and Shirato is obviously on drums. And I just.. do stuff, I guess. Make flyers, take photos and videos, social media stuff.. whatever it is I probably do it. Oh, and they're called Love Letters from Shibuya, if I haven't mentioned that already. Aren't they good?

They all sounded pretty good, but there were some very slight mistakes coming from Fumiya. His face hardened, but he didn't say a word.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura nods as Hana introduces the group, continuing to doodle all of them as chibis. She also listens to Miyuna's explanation, barely noting any of the mistakes that Fumiya made. To be fair, she usually didn't perform rock music, so she probably wouldn't notice it, but still.

However, her attention seems to be caught when Miyuna mentions making flyers for the band.

Flyers? I think I've seen some of them around. . . But that gives me another idea. Hold on. . . And yes, they do sound good. Really good! Sakura is quick to start sketching on a new canvas, her tongue sticking out in concentration. After a second, she turns the canvas to Miyuna, a small smile on her face.

Something like this? She asks, a curious look in her eyes. On the canvas was a poster with the little chibis she designed of LLFS with their instruments, along with their band name across the top in bubble letters and with other little hearts and stars scattered across a bright and colorful background.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Have you? Oh, good. Guess I put them in good places, hehe. Miyuna tilts her head slightly as Sakura starts drawing again, not realizing what she was doing until she actually saw it.

Oh my- that's adorable! That would definitely catch people's eye! Guys, pause for a second!

Yumu had already finished the song, but he stops moving for a second before approaching. He hovers over, eyes widening before slightly pouting. Fumiya winces, still not quite used to the radiance. Oh, this is wonderful! Would it be okay if we had a complete version of this to put up in some places? We'll pay and credit you, of course. I just wouldn't want this work to go unseen.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Yea, I think so! Mainly around school, but I've seen a lot of flyers around the school, so I could be wrong. But, I'm sure your strategy is working out great, especially with how good your music is!

Sakura wasn't sure what she was expecting when she shows Miyuna the poster concept, but she most certainly wasn't expecting this. She still smiles, though, simply happy people are enjoying her art.

Thank you, Yumu! And I don't see why not! You don't have to pay me, just crediting me is fine! I don't want to charge you for something I did just because I wanted to. That, and I owe Miyu after she helped me out of my artist's block last we met.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Oh, yeah, I've put a lot of flyers up. Not even just for LLFS, but for clubs and other events, too. So I at least know where to put them so they get the most attention! Miyuna chuckles.

Yumu hesitates for a second before letting out a sigh. Well, if that's what you want, then I'll do just that. It's nice that you want to do that for Miyu.

But don't be surprised if he pays you anyway. Fumiya grumbles, trying to fix his sound.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Fair enough! I mainly do a lot of posts online for my group and such, so I know how to advertise decently digitally, but you'd probably do better than me in the physical setting. Which I think has been proven, cuz I'm here! Sakura replies with a giggle before turning back to Yumu and Fumiya.

Seriously, there's no need for payment, Yumu. While I really do appreciate it, I always feel a bit icky charging my friends for things I do just cuz I want to. I do commissions, yes, but in a case like this? I don't think it'd fit, nor would I want to.

She briefly glances over to Fumiya, her face taking on a concerned expression. And do you need help, Fumiya? I might not usually play the drums and such, but if it's something with the sound system, I'm good at fixing that.

Sakura nods as Hana introduces the group, continuing to doodle all of them as chibis. She also listens to Miyuna's explanation, barely noting any of the mistakes that Fumiya made. To be fair, she usually didn't perform rock music, so she probably wouldn't notice it, but still.

However, her attention seems to be caught when Miyuna mentions making flyers for the band.

Flyers? I think I've seen some of them around. . . But that gives me another idea. Hold on. . . And yes, they do sound good. Really good! Sakura is quick to start sketching on a new canvas, her tongue sticking out in concentration. After a second, she turns the canvas to Miyuna, a small smile on her face.

Something like this? She asks, a curious look in her eyes. On the canvas was a poster with the little chibis she designed of LLFS with their instruments, along with their band name across the top in bubble letters and with other little hearts and stars scattered across a bright and colorful background.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Have you? Oh, good. Guess I put them in good places, hehe. Miyuna tilts her head slightly as Sakura starts drawing again, not realizing what she was doing until she actually saw it.

Oh my- that's adorable! That would definitely catch people's eye! Guys, pause for a second!

Yumu had already finished the song, but he stops moving for a second before approaching. He hovers over, eyes widening before slightly pouting. Fumiya winces, still not quite used to the radiance. Oh, this is wonderful! Would it be okay if we had a complete version of this to put up in some places? We'll pay and credit you, of course. I just wouldn't want this work to go unseen.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Yea, I think so! Mainly around school, but I've seen a lot of flyers around the school, so I could be wrong. But, I'm sure your strategy is working out great, especially with how good your music is!

Sakura wasn't sure what she was expecting when she shows Miyuna the poster concept, but she most certainly wasn't expecting this. She still smiles, though, simply happy people are enjoying her art.

Thank you, Yumu! And I don't see why not! You don't have to pay me, just crediting me is fine! I don't want to charge you for something I did just because I wanted to. That, and I owe Miyu after she helped me out of my artist's block last we met.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Oh, yeah, I've put a lot of flyers up. Not even just for LLFS, but for clubs and other events, too. So I at least know where to put them so they get the most attention! Miyuna chuckles.

Yumu hesitates for a second before letting out a sigh. Well, if that's what you want, then I'll do just that. It's nice that you want to do that for Miyu.

But don't be surprised if he pays you anyway. Fumiya grumbles, trying to fix his sound.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Fair enough! I mainly do a lot of posts online for my group and such, so I know how to advertise decently digitally, but you'd probably do better than me in the physical setting. Which I think has been proven, cuz I'm here! Sakura replies with a giggle before turning back to Yumu and Fumiya.

Seriously, there's no need for payment, Yumu. While I really do appreciate it, I always feel a bit icky charging my friends for things I do just cuz I want to. I do commissions, yes, but in a case like this? I don't think it'd fit, nor would I want to.

She briefly glances over to Fumiya, her face taking on a concerned expression. And do you need help, Fumiya? I might not usually play the drums and such, but if it's something with the sound system, I'm good at fixing that.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Well, I mean, we met outside of school. I just forced you to come, hehe. Miyuna teased. But I guess that means I can probably find your group somehow.

..I understand that feeling, yeah. Thank you so much for offering to do this for us. Yumu says simply, while Fumiya slightly glares.

No, I don't. I'm fine.

Aw, don't be so prickly, Fumi. It's probably fine, you're just too hard on yourself! She turns to Sakura. Yumu genuinely only wanted him as their guitarist. And yet he's so mean to himself!

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

You didn't force me to come, Miyu! I wanted to come! Besides, I've been wanting to spend some time with you since we last met. And yea, if you find my socials and such, you'll probably find my group!

And of course, Yumu! I can send it to you guys once it's done, and you can print it or do whatever you want with it!

She nods in understanding to Fumiya, also noticing how she had accidentally said 'drums' instead of guitar. Her cheeks flush in embarrassment, but she doesn't comment on it further.

I get that. . . The whole 'being mean to yourself' thing, I mean. I tend to do the same with my art sometimes. . . But, I didn't notice anything that sounded bad. I thought it all sounded good!

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Miyuna had been in incredibly high spirits after her interaction with Sakura on the train. Well, she was usually in high spirits, but now it felt like there was some sort of excitable aura around her. She was incredibly happy to meet someone that matched her vibe, and not to mention, she was totally cool!

She had been setting up for rehearsal with Yumu when she got an idea. Sakura could come and watch! Of course, she had to ask Yumu and the others, but an audience member wouldn't hurt, right?

Miyuna quickly typed Sakura's number into her phone and texted her.

<Hi hi! It's Miyuna! I help out with my friend's band and I wanted to ask if you wanted to come and watch rehearsal at my house? There will be food and drinks and stuff, and me, so you won't get bored :) Hopefully anyway. No pressure if not of course!! I just wanna show off lol>

She sends over her address, waiting for a text back.

- Hasegawa Miyuna 🦋 (@lovelettersfromshibuya)

Sakura, much like Miyuna, was in quite high spirits after meeting her on the train. Her motivation was high, she was really happy, and she even had done a couple more little doodles based on what she remembered of her photos and a couple of Miyuna, too.

She was doodling some more when she got the text from her, the artist putting her stylus in its holder so it wouldn't get lost. Reading over the message, she smiles, quickly typing something back.

<Hey, Miyu! I'd be happy to come! And I highly doubted I'd get bored, but I might bring my tablet to sketch if anything inspires me, if that's alright! I'll be there in about fifteen minutes!>

Hopping to her feet, Sakura quickly packs her art bag, making sure everything was in it before throwing her bag over her shoulder and heading off towards Miyuna's house. It did take her a bit, but she eventually made it. She knocks on the door, sending a text to Miyuna that she was there.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

<Yay! Glad you have that much faith in me, see you soon>

Miyuna chuckled to herself, making sure everything was as clean and orderly as possible. Yumu was intrigued, but kept working on setting everything up. He perked up once he heard the knock, but Miyuna darted to the door before he could even say anything.

Sakura! You're here! Miyuna gave her a little side hug before letting her inside. Alright! It's just me and Yumu currently, but everyone else should be here soon. Here, come!

She leads her into the garage, putting her arms out. Tada~ This is where we practice. Well, they do, anyway. I'm their manager helper thing. Take a seat wherever, we've got very comfy couches and bean bags.

So you must be the one who's gotten Miyu in such a good mood, Yumu lightly teases before bowing slightly, his radiant vibe almost overwhelming. It's a pleasure to meet and perform for you today. My name is Hayashi Yumu. We're only rehearsing, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes..

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura smiles wide when Miyuna opens the door, not wearing the mask she was wearing on the train last time they met. Hey, Miyu! Thank you again for inviting me! She replies with a smile, following behind her friend to the garage.

She takes a look around the garage once they reach it, nodding in understanding at Miyuna's explanation. Got it. And this all looks so cool, Miyu! And I bet you're an amazing manager for them. As she speaks, she sits herself down on one of the beanbags, glancing over to Yumu when he speaks.

I suppose I am! Sakura replies playfully, slightly overwhelmed by the radiance in front of her. And it's nice to meet you as well, Yumu! It's alright if any mistakes are made, by the way. I get it! While I don't use the same instrumentals you guys use for your group, I definitely understand rehearsal mistakes. So don't worry too much about it!

After she finishes talking, she fishes her drawing tablet out of her bag, turning to Miyuna with an excited grin. Do you wanna see some of the stuff I've drawn since the train, Miyu?

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Don't even worry about it! Miyuna chuckles, watching as Sakura sat down on a bean bag. She decided to sit down next to her, adjusting her socks.

I appreciate your kindness. I promise we'll try our best regardless. Yumu replies, and Miyuna just shakes her head.

He can be so formal sometimes, ignore him. I'd love to see!

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura continues to smile when Miyuna sits down next to her, adjusting herself briefly on the beanbag to get more comfortable. Even if she was already comfortable and somewhat sinking into it. . .

It's no problem, Yumu! And you don't need to be so formal with me! But, if you want to, I'm not going to stop you. And I can't wait to hear the performance!

Sakura turns her attention back to Miyuna, showing her some of the doodles she drew based on what she remembered of her photos, along with a page full of chibi doodles, a good handful of them being Miyuna. I don't know why I got so focused on drawing you whenever I started doodling the chibis, but I think you certainly inspired me. She murmurs playfully, her cheeks faintly pink due to a tiny bit of embarrassment.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Ah, sorry! It just kinda happens.. Yumu laughs awkwardly, going back to fixing some tuning issues and adjusting the heights of things. Miyuna's face flushes at the sight, still grinning anyway.

Hehe, I'm glad I get to be your muse! You always make me look super duper cute, so I can't be mad. Do you have, like, photographic memory or something? These look so accurate!

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

It's alright, Yumu! You don't need to apologize! Sakura smiles genuinely at him before turning back to Miyuna, noting the slight flush of her cheeks. She supposed it was probably cuz of the drawings, but she wasn't too sure why. She wasn't going to complain, though, especially when her friend was smiling.

Thank you! And no, I don't think I have a photographic memory. I just. . . How do I explain this? I tend to remember things I found interesting and/or want to use for inspiration later, if that makes sense. She starts doodling again as she speaks, a little chibi of Yumu now on the canvas with the others. That, and I also enjoy drawing people I like. Speaking of which, here, Yumu! Whaddya think? She turns her tablet towards him with a smile on her face.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Ohh, yeah! That makes sense. Still, these look incredible when just going off of memory! You're so cool, Sakura! Miyuna giggles, looking over at the chibi Sakura just drew.

Yumu looked over as his name was called, looking over the drawing with a smile. Oh, wow, that's so cute! I'm glad you like me, ehe. Miyuna wasn't kidding when she said you had talent.

-🦋+ 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura's cheeks went pink again, but she's smiling happily at Miyuna's words. Thank you, Miyu! You're really cool, too! Her attention turns back to Yumu when he speaks, her smile still wide.

And thank you as well, Yumu! And of course I like you! Miyu, too! You're both such interesting people, after all. She turns back to Miyuna, tilting her head slightly to the side, a curious look in her eyes. By the way, when does the rehearsal start? I'm still so excited to listen!

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Haha, I'm flattered.. Yumu hummed. Miyuna simply chuckled. You're one of the most popular boys at your school and you still get flattered by that.. but thank you!

Yumu thinks about the question briefly. When everyone else comes in-

Suddenly, Hana, Shirato and Fumiya all come in from the door leading into the house. Hey, we're here! Sorry, I forgot to mention I was giving them a ride here.. She then notices Sakura sitting there. Shirato and Fumiya share a silent glance. Oh, what's up! Are you here to watch?

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura's attention bounces between everyone once the three enter, her face briefly confused before her usual excited smile slid back into place.

I am, yea! My name's Sakura, and it's nice to meet all of you! She replies, still just as excited as when she met Miyuna and Yumu not that long ago. Miyu invited me to come and watch you guys play, and I can't wait to hear your guy's music!

That, and draw some more. Which, speaking of which, she went right back to the drawing tablet, quickly sketching out chibis of Fumiya, Hana, and Shirato before the ideas for them left her head. Then she just. . . Kept drawing. She wasn't trying to be rude or ignore them, but she suddenly had so many ideas flowing in her head that she had to put down on her canvas before they left.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

It's nice to meet you too! My name is Hana, I play bass and such. Bunny boy is Shirato, and that grump is Fumiya. Hana gestures to each of them before heading to her designated spot. Fumiya rolls his eyes, and Shirato gives a small wave.

Yumu blinked as he saw her start to draw, figuring she was just going to listen and not watch, which settled his nerves a little. Okayy.. let's warm up with something soft and easy, yeah?

Hana and Miyuna nod. Hana made sure everyone was comfortable before starting them off, Miyuna leaning closer to Sakura. 'Kay, just in case you couldn't tell.. Yumu is main vocals and secondary guitar, Hana is main guitar and secondary vocals.. haha, funny how that works. Anyway. Fumiya is on bass, and Shirato is obviously on drums. And I just.. do stuff, I guess. Make flyers, take photos and videos, social media stuff.. whatever it is I probably do it. Oh, and they're called Love Letters from Shibuya, if I haven't mentioned that already. Aren't they good?

They all sounded pretty good, but there were some very slight mistakes coming from Fumiya. His face hardened, but he didn't say a word.

Thank you, Yumu! And I don't see why not! You don't have to pay me, just crediting me is fine! I don't want to charge you for something I did just because I wanted to. That, and I owe Miyu after she helped me out of my artist's block last we met.

Sakura, much like Miyuna, was in quite high spirits after meeting her on the train. Her motivation was high, she was really happy, and she even had done a couple more little doodles based on what she remembered of her photos and a couple of Miyuna, too.

She was doodling some more when she got the text from her, the artist putting her stylus in its holder so it wouldn't get lost. Reading over the message, she smiles, quickly typing something back.

<Hey, Miyu! I'd be happy to come! And I highly doubted I'd get bored, but I might bring my tablet to sketch if anything inspires me, if that's alright! I'll be there in about fifteen minutes!>

Hopping to her feet, Sakura quickly packs her art bag, making sure everything was in it before throwing her bag over her shoulder and heading off towards Miyuna's house. It did take her a bit, but she eventually made it. She knocks on the door, sending a text to Miyuna that she was there.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

<Yay! Glad you have that much faith in me, see you soon>

Miyuna chuckled to herself, making sure everything was as clean and orderly as possible. Yumu was intrigued, but kept working on setting everything up. He perked up once he heard the knock, but Miyuna darted to the door before he could even say anything.

Sakura! You're here! Miyuna gave her a little side hug before letting her inside. Alright! It's just me and Yumu currently, but everyone else should be here soon. Here, come!

She leads her into the garage, putting her arms out. Tada~ This is where we practice. Well, they do, anyway. I'm their manager helper thing. Take a seat wherever, we've got very comfy couches and bean bags.

So you must be the one who's gotten Miyu in such a good mood, Yumu lightly teases before bowing slightly, his radiant vibe almost overwhelming. It's a pleasure to meet and perform for you today. My name is Hayashi Yumu. We're only rehearsing, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes..

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura smiles wide when Miyuna opens the door, not wearing the mask she was wearing on the train last time they met. Hey, Miyu! Thank you again for inviting me! She replies with a smile, following behind her friend to the garage.

She takes a look around the garage once they reach it, nodding in understanding at Miyuna's explanation. Got it. And this all looks so cool, Miyu! And I bet you're an amazing manager for them. As she speaks, she sits herself down on one of the beanbags, glancing over to Yumu when he speaks.

I suppose I am! Sakura replies playfully, slightly overwhelmed by the radiance in front of her. And it's nice to meet you as well, Yumu! It's alright if any mistakes are made, by the way. I get it! While I don't use the same instrumentals you guys use for your group, I definitely understand rehearsal mistakes. So don't worry too much about it!

After she finishes talking, she fishes her drawing tablet out of her bag, turning to Miyuna with an excited grin. Do you wanna see some of the stuff I've drawn since the train, Miyu?

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Don't even worry about it! Miyuna chuckles, watching as Sakura sat down on a bean bag. She decided to sit down next to her, adjusting her socks.

I appreciate your kindness. I promise we'll try our best regardless. Yumu replies, and Miyuna just shakes her head.

He can be so formal sometimes, ignore him. I'd love to see!

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura continues to smile when Miyuna sits down next to her, adjusting herself briefly on the beanbag to get more comfortable. Even if she was already comfortable and somewhat sinking into it. . .

It's no problem, Yumu! And you don't need to be so formal with me! But, if you want to, I'm not going to stop you. And I can't wait to hear the performance!

Sakura turns her attention back to Miyuna, showing her some of the doodles she drew based on what she remembered of her photos, along with a page full of chibi doodles, a good handful of them being Miyuna. I don't know why I got so focused on drawing you whenever I started doodling the chibis, but I think you certainly inspired me. She murmurs playfully, her cheeks faintly pink due to a tiny bit of embarrassment.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Ah, sorry! It just kinda happens.. Yumu laughs awkwardly, going back to fixing some tuning issues and adjusting the heights of things. Miyuna's face flushes at the sight, still grinning anyway.

Hehe, I'm glad I get to be your muse! You always make me look super duper cute, so I can't be mad. Do you have, like, photographic memory or something? These look so accurate!

-🦋 + 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

It's alright, Yumu! You don't need to apologize! Sakura smiles genuinely at him before turning back to Miyuna, noting the slight flush of her cheeks. She supposed it was probably cuz of the drawings, but she wasn't too sure why. She wasn't going to complain, though, especially when her friend was smiling.

Thank you! And no, I don't think I have a photographic memory. I just. . . How do I explain this? I tend to remember things I found interesting and/or want to use for inspiration later, if that makes sense. She starts doodling again as she speaks, a little chibi of Yumu now on the canvas with the others. That, and I also enjoy drawing people I like. Speaking of which, here, Yumu! Whaddya think? She turns her tablet towards him with a smile on her face.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Ohh, yeah! That makes sense. Still, these look incredible when just going off of memory! You're so cool, Sakura! Miyuna giggles, looking over at the chibi Sakura just drew.

Yumu looked over as his name was called, looking over the drawing with a smile. Oh, wow, that's so cute! I'm glad you like me, ehe. Miyuna wasn't kidding when she said you had talent.

-🦋+ 💘

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura's cheeks went pink again, but she's smiling happily at Miyuna's words. Thank you, Miyu! You're really cool, too! Her attention turns back to Yumu when he speaks, her smile still wide.

And thank you as well, Yumu! And of course I like you! Miyu, too! You're both such interesting people, after all. She turns back to Miyuna, tilting her head slightly to the side, a curious look in her eyes. By the way, when does the rehearsal start? I'm still so excited to listen!

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Haha, I'm flattered.. Yumu hummed. Miyuna simply chuckled. You're one of the most popular boys at your school and you still get flattered by that.. but thank you!

Yumu thinks about the question briefly. When everyone else comes in-

Suddenly, Hana, Shirato and Fumiya all come in from the door leading into the house. Hey, we're here! Sorry, I forgot to mention I was giving them a ride here.. She then notices Sakura sitting there. Shirato and Fumiya share a silent glance. Oh, what's up! Are you here to watch?

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura's attention bounces between everyone once the three enter, her face briefly confused before her usual excited smile slid back into place.

I am, yea! My name's Sakura, and it's nice to meet all of you! She replies, still just as excited as when she met Miyuna and Yumu not that long ago. Miyu invited me to come and watch you guys play, and I can't wait to hear your guy's music!

That, and draw some more. Which, speaking of which, she went right back to the drawing tablet, quickly sketching out chibis of Fumiya, Hana, and Shirato before the ideas for them left her head. Then she just. . . Kept drawing. She wasn't trying to be rude or ignore them, but she suddenly had so many ideas flowing in her head that she had to put down on her canvas before they left.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

It's nice to meet you too! My name is Hana, I play bass and such. Bunny boy is Shirato, and that grump is Fumiya. Hana gestures to each of them before heading to her designated spot. Fumiya rolls his eyes, and Shirato gives a small wave.

Yumu blinked as he saw her start to draw, figuring she was just going to listen and not watch, which settled his nerves a little. Okayy.. let's warm up with something soft and easy, yeah?

Hana and Miyuna nod. Hana made sure everyone was comfortable before starting them off, Miyuna leaning closer to Sakura. 'Kay, just in case you couldn't tell.. Yumu is main vocals and secondary guitar, Hana is main guitar and secondary vocals.. haha, funny how that works. Anyway. Fumiya is on bass, and Shirato is obviously on drums. And I just.. do stuff, I guess. Make flyers, take photos and videos, social media stuff.. whatever it is I probably do it. Oh, and they're called Love Letters from Shibuya, if I haven't mentioned that already. Aren't they good?

They all sounded pretty good, but there were some very slight mistakes coming from Fumiya. His face hardened, but he didn't say a word.

-💌

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Sakura nods as Hana introduces the group, continuing to doodle all of them as chibis. She also listens to Miyuna's explanation, barely noting any of the mistakes that Fumiya made. To be fair, she usually didn't perform rock music, so she probably wouldn't notice it, but still.

However, her attention seems to be caught when Miyuna mentions making flyers for the band.

Flyers? I think I've seen some of them around. . . But that gives me another idea. Hold on. . . And yes, they do sound good. Really good! Sakura is quick to start sketching on a new canvas, her tongue sticking out in concentration. After a second, she turns the canvas to Miyuna, a small smile on her face.

Something like this? She asks, a curious look in her eyes. On the canvas was a poster with the little chibis she designed of LLFS with their instruments, along with their band name across the top in bubble letters and with other little hearts and stars scattered across a bright and colorful background.

[ayanokouji-sakura]

Miyuna had been in incredibly high spirits after her interaction with Sakura on the train. Well, she was usually in high spirits, but now it felt like there was some sort of excitable aura around her. She was incredibly happy to meet someone that matched her vibe, and not to mention, she was totally cool!

She had been setting up for rehearsal with Yumu when she got an idea. Sakura could come and watch! Of course, she had to ask Yumu and the others, but an audience member wouldn't hurt, right?

Miyuna quickly typed Sakura's number into her phone and texted her.

<Hi hi! It's Miyuna! I help out with my friend's band and I wanted to ask if you wanted to come and watch rehearsal at my house? There will be food and drinks and stuff, and me, so you won't get bored :) Hopefully anyway. No pressure if not of course!! I just wanna show off lol>

She sends over her address, waiting for a text back.

I tend to remember things I found interesting and/or want to use for inspiration later, if that makes sense. She starts doodling again as she speaks, a little chibi of Yumu now on the canvas with the others. That, and I also enjoy drawing people I like. Speaking of which, here, Yumu! Whaddya think? She turns her tablet towards him with a smile on her face.

Miyuna had been in incredibly high spirits after her interaction with Sakura on the train. Well, she was usually in high spirits, but now it felt like there was some sort of excitable aura around her. She was incredibly happy to meet someone that matched her vibe, and not to mention, she was totally cool!

She had been setting up for rehearsal with Yumu when she got an idea. Sakura could come and watch! Of course, she had to ask Yumu and the others, but an audience member wouldn't hurt, right?

Miyuna quickly typed Sakura's number into her phone and texted her.

<Hi hi! It's Miyuna! I help out with my friend's band and I wanted to ask if you wanted to come and watch rehearsal at my house? There will be food and drinks and stuff, and me, so you won't get bored :) Hopefully anyway. No pressure if not of course!! I just wanna show off lol>

She sends over her address, waiting for a text back.

Sakura, much like Miyuna, was in quite high spirits after meeting her on the train. Her motivation was high, she was really happy, and she even had done a couple more little doodles based on what she remembered of her photos and a couple of Miyuna, too.

She was doodling some more when she got the text from her, the artist putting her stylus in its holder so it wouldn't get lost. Reading over the message, she smiles, quickly typing something back.

<Hey, Miyu! I'd be happy to come! And I highly doubted I'd get bored, but I might bring my tablet to sketch if anything inspires me, if that's alright! I'll be there in about fifteen minutes!>

Hopping to her feet, Sakura quickly packs her art bag, making sure everything was in it before throwing her bag over her shoulder and heading off towards Miyuna's house. It did take her a bit, but she eventually made it. She knocks on the door, sending a text to Miyuna that she was there.

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

<Yay! Glad you have that much faith in me, see you soon>

Miyuna chuckled to herself, making sure everything was as clean and orderly as possible. Yumu was intrigued, but kept working on setting everything up. He perked up once he heard the knock, but Miyuna darted to the door before he could even say anything.

Sakura! You're here! Miyuna gave her a little side hug before letting her inside. Alright! It's just me and Yumu currently, but everyone else should be here soon. Here, come!

She leads her into the garage, putting her arms out. Tada~ This is where we practice. Well, they do, anyway. I'm their manager helper thing. Take a seat wherever, we've got very comfy couches and bean bags.

So you must be the one who's gotten Miyu in such a good mood, Yumu lightly teases before bowing slightly, his radiant vibe almost overwhelming. It's a pleasure to meet and perform for you today. My name is Hayashi Yumu. We're only rehearsing, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes..

Sakura smiles wide when Miyuna opens the door, not wearing the mask she was wearing on the train last time they met. Hey, Miyu! Thank you again for inviting me! She replies with a smile, following behind her friend to the garage.

She takes a look around the garage once they reach it, nodding in understanding at Miyuna's explanation. Got it. And this all looks so cool, Miyu! And I bet you're an amazing manager for them. As she speaks, she sits herself down on one of the beanbags, glancing over to Yumu when he speaks.

I suppose I am! Sakura replies playfully, slightly overwhelmed by the radiance in front of her. And it's nice to meet you as well, Yumu! It's alright if any mistakes are made, by the way. I get it! While I don't use the same instrumentals you guys use for your group, I definitely understand rehearsal mistakes. So don't worry too much about it!

After she finishes talking, she fishes her drawing tablet out of her bag, turning to Miyuna with an excited grin. Do you wanna see some of the stuff I've drawn since the train, Miyu?

[lovelettersfromshibuya]

Don't even worry about it! Miyuna chuckles, watching as Sakura sat down on a bean bag. She decided to sit down next to her, adjusting her socks.

I appreciate your kindness. I promise we'll try our best regardless. Yumu replies, and Miyuna just shakes her head.

He can be so formal sometimes, ignore him. I'd love to see!

Sakura continues to smile when Miyuna sits down next to her, adjusting herself briefly on the beanbag to get more comfortable. Even if she was already comfortable and somewhat sinking into it. . .

It's no problem, Yumu! And you don't need to be so formal with me! But, if you want to, I'm not going to stop you. And I can't wait to hear the performance!

Sakura turns her attention back to Miyuna, showing her some of the doodles she drew based on what she remembered of her photos, along with a page full of chibi doodles, a good handful of them being Miyuna. I don't know why I got so focused on drawing you whenever I started doodling the chibis, but I think you certainly inspired me. She murmurs playfully, her cheeks faintly pink due to a tiny bit of embarrassment.
