CRYSTALLIS MISSION 015 - FREE THREAD: ANYONE NOT IN CRYSTALLIS 🥺
Thank you.
Thank you for the years we’ve been together at LGC. You may or may not know this, but your time and friendship made the loneliness of COVID lockdown that much more bearable. You’ve been with me through being overworked into mental breakdowns, getting engaged, losing of both my parents in the same year, and eventually getting married. You were with me through pregnancy and the sickness and random side effects of growing a human. You were there after the birth of my baby earlier this year, and kept me company through the hard nights as a new parent. More recently you’ve been a constant during my move overseas and trying to start a new life with my little family.
So, whether you knew this or not, for all this I want to say thank you.
I’ll miss you but I hope we can still be in touch even though I think it’s time for me to move on.
Love you 💗
Nam

It shouldn't be that much of a big deal, not really, but it's not like Labubus don't cost nothing either. (Not, one negative, don't, two negatives Kyoka counted the negatives in that sentence.) She's not rich either, so losing it sends her a bit into a spiral, dutifully tracing back her steps in as much reverse chronological order as her memory allows her until she finds it there, on the ground.
...Only for Ichika-sensei to pick it up. Grandma raised her to be a better person than to eavesdrop on purpose but also Grandma isn't here so Kyoka stands there, suddenly very invested in the black screen of her phone. She's pretty good at blending into the background she thinks, but she's not pretty good at muffling her affronted gasp and her gaping mouth that accompanies it. Her Labubu it was, fine, it's maybe kinda sorta ugly, but it's her maybe kinda sorta ugly Labubu. Even if Ichika-sensei is so talented, pretty, the bestest senior she had no right to call her child ugly.
She stares at the little toy for a moment longer before she decides theres not point in wondering why these things are so popular. With another resigned sight, she moves to turn around and put the thing in her bag when her gaze lands on — well, she wants to say a child but even from this distance she can tell that they dwarf her. “Hello?” She greets cautiously, tilting her head in confusion at the girl. She’s met her before but her name… was it different? “May I help you?”
It’s not until after she speaks that she remembers the little treasure she found, and she quickly looks down at it still in her hand. “Is… this yours?” She asks, cautiously raising it out for the girl — Mia? Kiko? — to see. She really wants to ask why they’re so popular but that seems a bit forward. She doesn’t even know this is hers. “Or do you know the owner? I just found it on the ground.”
yamashita ichika modeling contract passion5: live taste test challenge
“Eh?” Ichika pauses and looks at the directions the staff had handed to her, blinking before looking up at them and then towards the camera.”There’s an extra challenge here,” she clarifies, slightly turning the card to show the camera that there’s writing, but not enough to fully show the instructions. “Okay, okay. Let’s see if we can do this,” she says with a small laugh as she sets the card down and shifts to make herself comfortable in front of the mystery box of pasties.
Truthfully, she’s kind of excited for this.
Carefully, she opens the box and peers in, exaggerating her expression a tiny bit and letting out an excited little ‘ah’ before reaching in to extract one of the four items. It’s a puff pastry about the size of Ichika’s fist with white powder on top. “Oh! This looks so good!” she comments with a smile, reaching forward to show the viewers, before carefully taking a bite. A bit of laughter escapes her as a bit of custard comes out the side and she carefully pulls away so not to get the cream on herself. Keeping the challenge in mind, she gives herself a moment to think as she chews. “Oh, I would have this 100 Ways!” She finally comments with a smile, carefully putting the pastry down. “The pastry is so light and airy, and the custard is not too sweet. It’s the kind of thing that makes your heart flutter.”
She really would love to take another bite but she has three more to try.
The next one she takes out is a small chocolate-looking cake about the size of a puck. The frosting is shiny under the lights and a delicate white design sits on top, clearly placed before the frosting had cooled. “This is so pretty! It looks like how they do latte art,” she says as she tips it up for a moment before placing it down and reaching for the fork the staff had prepared for her. She bites into her bottom lip as she attempts to cut through the shell with just enough force. With a small crack, she breaks through and her fork glides through the cake. “This one would have the chef Chained Up!” she remarks with a hand over her mouth, eyes clearly pleased. “It’s so good. I believe it’s a ganash?” She looks up at the staff for a brief moment and then back at the cake. “It’s really rich and smooth and there’s a bit of coffee flavoring in the middle. The flavors are very complementary and would go lovely with a black coffee.” Lies. She would eat it straight. She takes a small bit more quickly before pushing it aside. “This is my favorite so far.”
A small ecare if the next one is a small green macaron. “Oh my color,” she laughs as she pulls it out. After a quick show to the camera, she doesn't hesitate before taking a bite, the delicate meringue cracking. “I was expecting matcha but it’s..” she takes a moment to chew and think. “Pistachio, I think.” She examines it before nodding. “You can tell these were made with a lot of skill and care. It’s very delicate but lovely. An absolute Sugar-Holic’s dream.” Unlike the last two, she does finish the macaron before meaning on.
“Last one!” She chirps, extracting the tart with a small flourish, its sugar-coated fruit bright and glistening. “This one is almost too cute to eat,” she notes, taking a moment to turn the tart before taking a bite. “This is Dangerous!” She exclaims, covering her mouth. “The pastry is light and buttery, and the filling is slightly sweet and creamy.” She takes a moment to show the inside to the viewers. “And then the fruit is both fresh and tart. It’s perfect.” She laughs. “This one is my favorite. It really Blooms on your tongue.”

It’s by some miracle (maybe) that Ichika sees the thing before she steps on it and, really, it’s curiosity that makes her stop instead of walking around. It’s small and furry and she assumes it’s a stuffed bear or bunny— something lost by trainer or staff — but when she actually bends down an picks it up, she doesn’t even bother hiding the confused disgust.
“Ew..” she breathes, still crouched down while she looks at the plush. She’s seen these before, but seeing one up close proves not to be enough to see their charm. “You’re probably more Somin’s type,” she comment while the toy lightly sways on its ribbon. Her group’s makenae was a fan of plush toys and weird things so she assumed this was be in her wheelhouse.
“Should I leave it or take it?” Truthfully she rather leave it, but a part of her feels like she should find a staff or security to give it too so maybe it can find its unfortunate owner. “I just don’t get it…”
Ichika’s effort was plain for all those who had eyes to see but Yuxi didn’t know how to break it to the other that the effort was in vain — she was perfectly content maintaining the status quo. They were polite enough to each other, and if any sense of distance lingered, then that was nothing unusual for her. If anything, it was how she preferred all her relationships to be.
Growing up, her immediate family was, more often than not, living on three continents minimum: her parents in Asia, she herself in Europe, and Muchen in the Americas. And that was with the assumption that her father wasn’t abroad for a project. In that sense, home as a concept was severely skewed for her. “I was recently explained the concept of third culture kid, are you familiar with the term?” she asked both women. “That was my experience growing up. Having spent the large majority of my schooling abroad — some in boarding schools which lean cosmopolitan — cultural adjustment is the norm rather than the exception.” She wouldn’t call Seoul her home, but nor would she call Shanghai or even London hers either; she felt insufficiently attached to do so. The very concept of home felt nearly alien to her.
After having just mentioned London, she yielded the second question to Emi, who hadn’t yet spoken. “The floor is yours.”
it felt like just a little bit ago, the concept of starting a radio show had been pitched to emi and a few of the other trainees in start, creating a sort of whole new idea, and soon for several semesters, she had been apart of something that she had really enjoyed-- the lgc radio show. she had even been sort of sad to leave, though she knew she couldn't stick around forever. now she was back-- but this time it wasn't as a host, but in the complete opposite end of the chair-- as a guest. it was taking some getting used to, not having to lead the conversation persay, but she had to admit... it was a nice change of pace. besides, yuxi and ichika were both ladies she knew, so it made it a bit easier.
though, she had to admit... something felt... a bit too shiny, new, polished about it all. as far as she knew, they were... groupmates. but the more she observed, she makes mental notes. it wasn't something she could bring up now, of course-- not on the radio. and besides, maybe she was reading too much into it. for now, she just wanted to enjoy it a bit. "ah, no that's true. i don't get to visit home as much as i'd like, and i've been in korea for such a long time that it feels like i've really settled in-- at least in a lot of ways." she admits with a soft nod, looking between the two of them, then sitting up straighter. the question comes and she tilts her head, the signature hum of hers leaving full lips. "well i know the states are pretty common, but i feel like so many people say new york or LA, but i feel like visiting the south would be really cool. i've heard the culture is a bit different, and the food is amazing. the states have so many different things that you could visit a different state and have a whole new experience."
“Ah yes,” Ichika nods knowingly before turning her gaze back away from her group made to speak into the mic, “for listeners unaware, a third culture kid can be described as when an individual who grows up in a different culture than their parents, and in turn creates a third culture which is a blend between their parents culture and the new culture. This very much lines up with our Yuxi’s experience, doesn’t it?” Her voice is soft and purposefully articulate, as if imitating an even AI voiceover or a more senior radio host. It’s an obvious ploy to flex her own language skills but she doesn’t care. “I almost forgot you attended boarding school abroad.” No, she clearly hadn’t bothered to retain the information. “How exciting to not only travel abroad for school but to know so many who have done the same from a young age.” She smiles at lets out a gentle laugh, even though she would rather roll her eyes out of jealousy or annoyance or both at the opportunity not allotted to her in her own youth.
“Southern United States?” Her interest is a bit easier and genuine as she responds to Emi. “I don’t think I’ve ever considered that.” She means it too. She’s guilty of being somewhat ignorant of the greater cultural geography of the country. “Is their food that much more different from the other parts?” She’s a bit more willing to fight the embarrassment of not knowing everything to hear more about Emi’s choice.
“For myself, I think I would like to visit Brazil,” she comments with a small nod. ‘I think I read that S—Sao Paulo,” she slows down to try and pronounce the foreign name to the best of her ability, “has the largest Japanese population outside of Japan. My mother’s husband told me that there are some media from Japan that is only released in Japan and Brazil for that reason. I’m fully aware that it won't be a copy and paste situation, but I find that tidbit interesting, and would like to see how the two cultures intersect.” She glances at Yuxi for a moment, “how these third culture groups blossom and develop over the years, I suppose.”

[ #ICHIKA 🍡 ] I'm still shocked that this looked as good as it did.. Maybe I should give short hair a try again soon? Or does it look too matronly? I think I prefer longer hair but now I'm not sure?

“I believe a word that can describe this is serendipitous,” Ichika comments as she leans into the mic, smiling more so at Emi than Yuxi, but she does her best to let her gaze shift for a moment to indicate that she does, in fact, include her co-host in the conversation. Truth be told, working more closely with Yuxi had become easier with every opportunity, but as always, there was still a wall that neither of them dared to cross. What could have been a friendship or a comfortable mutual respect was now nothing more than a very evident working relationship. Which was fine; realistically, there was no need for them to be best friends, but when it came to their public interactions, but especially those with others, a certain effort had to be put forth. “All three of us are currently living abroad, and the cultural norms are just different enough, though at this point, at least for myself, Korea for long enough that going home seems more like travel than coming back here. What do you both think?”
The fact that she’s more and more comfortable with Emi helps a good deal, she admits, though if she’s honest, this is the second time in recent memory that the younger woman has caught her in a somewhat awkward situation. However, with that in mind, Ichika attempts to smooth over her feelings as much as possible and smiles a bit too brightly at their guest. “Ah, I have a question,” she giggles softly, “is there a slightly more uncommon place you would like to travel? Paris, New York, and London are generally pretty universal, but are there any slightly less common cities or sights you’d like to visit?”
━━ model brands◞ hyunny - bts .· ( @lgcichika , @lgcgyuri )
prior to their first meeting, hyunhee ensures that she has both ichika’s and gyuri’s favorite drink order down. it took a lot of poking and prodding trying to extrapolate that information from their respective managers, but in the end she hopes it’s a nice surprise alongside the pastries she had purchased from the local bakery.
“welcome, welcome.” she ushers the two of them into the small conference room. hyunhee full of smiles and buzzing with energy from the energy shot she’d downed just thirty minutes prior. “i’m so happy that you two were able to make it! please, help yourselves,” she gestures towards spread in front of the group before plucking a blueberry muffin up for herself.
“i thought we could have a little informal meeting before we get started with filming. you know,” she smiles at both of them. “so we can get to know each other!”
“oh! i also have this for you guys,” she reaches underneath the table, grabbing two bags. “little goody bags! it has the clips for you guys to keep, and a few other things,” hyunhee hands over the bags filled with goodies and waits to see their reactions.
Clips. Hmm..
Leaning back against the hallway wall, Ichika idly reads the general rundown of the commercial, covertly glancing up at the other young woman in the vicinity. It’s not that she’s trying to be rude; she had said hello before, but at the end of the day, she can’t fully fight the way her shyness might come across as disinterest. Which she’s not. At least not at this very moment, but she can’t say she knows Gyuri very well, and normally it takes a bit for Ichika to fully warm up to people. She could say the same for Hyunhee, but the model hasn’t arrived just yet, and at least as the brand owner, she assumes she’ll be a good ice breaker.
As if on cue, a ray of sunshine bears down on them, and Hyunhee ushers them inside. Still clutching the brand information her manager had provided her, and her bag, Ichika makes her way inside and consciously takes a seat close to where Hyunhee has deposited her goods.
“Oh!” It’s only then that she truly gets a look at the pastries, and a small, genuine smile creeps across the idol’s face. For many years she had tried to deny it, convinced that it went against whatever image she thought suited her, but in the last few years, Ichika’s sweet tooth had become less of a secret and more of a fact known across Crystallis’ fandom. “These look lovely!” Small, delicate fingers instinctively find their way to vibrant berry tart. “Thank you,” she adds with a small nod, venturing to offer her smile to both women.
She hums happily when she takes a bit, but all thoughts of complimenting the treat fall away when Hyunhee seems to magically procure her goodie bags. Quickly covering her mouth with one of her hands, Ichka places the tart down on a napkin and reaches out to receive the bag. “Oh, this is so kind, thank you.” She sets the bag down on her lap and carefully pulls one of the clips out. “Ah, it’s so cute. I’m assuming this baby one? This cream color is so pretty.”

yamashita ichika lgc girls summer prep
Ichika considered herself to be a capable person and idol. She could do anything. She was a master of her craft— or at least she generally had the confidence to not let her shortcomings keep her down, but this… this was outside her comfortzone. Every song she was a part of was within her usual scope, but ‘Hit the Floor’.
She wasn’t a rapper— well, she was, she was an idol rapper— but unlike some of the other girls in that position, even girls within her own group, she knew that genuine flow and passion did not possess her in the same way. She had been basically slid into the position at one point, but whatever normal confidence she had did not exist here. Especially in this closing theme.
The clear hip-hop beat was cool and strong in a way she seldom encountered in Crystallis — truthfully, it was something more in line with Somin or the Fabula girls. Ichika, on the other hand, reveled in the cool, mature image her group was growing into, had smiled excitedly when she had heard the demo for Unite, but this unnerved her. She didn’t like struggling, and being corrected during practices and recording for the song itself threatened to poke holes in her pride.
She took all suggestions and corrections by the coaches, but it hurt and she hated it. But it made her work hard on her parts, small as they might be given the number of girls, but still. She had to. She needed to.
Even if she struggled at points, the attitude and inclination forged to her, she couldn’t give up. She wouldn’t give up.
So between schedules and free time, she practiced, recorded herself and practiced. True, it was only a minor song in the grand scheme of things, but for what it was worth, Ichika was not the type to half-ass something intentionally. She wanted to succeed, or more accurately, not make a complete fool of herself.
Listen, I know their sub-unit debut was back in January and we’re basically in summer but WE MOVED ON TOO FAST!! My favorite thing about Crystallis is the fact they do sub units and have released some bangers to add a little more flavor to what we can already expect from the group, but the fact LGC decided to DEBUT A SUB-UNIT instead of hiding it in a release?? Like, this is big!! Yura, Yujin, Ichika, and Selene is such a cool line up! You can’t tell me otherwise! I really really hope this isn’t the last time we hear from Beryl! I want to see how they evolve from here!! In the meantime, I need you all to continue to stream Invincible ( and my personal fave Lucid Dreams ) so the company gives them a comeback!!
[ + / - ] Incorrect OP, extra-ordinary is clearly the superior song. If we’re going to add one b-side to the stream, we need to have the correct choice! [ + / - ] There’s a reason why we stopped talking about it. This group is boring and so were the songs! Hell, some of us never even wanted to talk about them in the first place. Move on. [ + / - ] First off, prologue is the only song of note, lead title aside. Secondly, I personally blame the company for letting promos go by so quickly, but then again, Crystallis as a whole had a Japan comeback a month ago. Girly, there’s only so much we can hope for without our faves falling over from exhaustion!! But also, yeah, I would loooo ve to see them have another cb 💗

look for an insaninhaez's (ichika and yuxi) guest — if you’re interested pls like this post <3
please buffer their weird cold war vibes 😭
guys guys GUYS! Guess who I SAW WHILE OUT!? Omg I’m still shaking!! My friend and I were out getting something to eat after work and we happened to run into ASTRID AND ICHIKA!! I didn’t want to bother them but my friend pushed me and I did it!! I waited until they were getting ready to leave and I managed to get their attention! I apologized but said how my friend and I are giant Alize and how much we love them! They’re both so BEAUTIFUL in person and so tiny!! I felt like a giant next to both of them!! Astrid is so magnetic and friendly, and Ichika is cuter and warmer than I expected? Not to say she’s cold! I know she’s an introverted person, but maybe it was because she was with Astrid, and the two of them seem to get along so well! I saw them smiling and laughing a lot during their meal! They were both so sweet and gave us autographs and said they hoped they’d see us at a fanmeet sometime (uh! I wish but my schedule never lets me!!) but the best part is that when my friend and I went to pay, the auntie told us the pretty girls we were talking to paid for us. I can’t take it. I’m never stanning another group again!! I love them so much!!
[ + / - ] I. AM. SO. JEALOUS. WHERE DID YOU SEE THEM EXACTLY OP?! DID THE STAFF SAY IF THEY CAME THERE OFTEN!? I WANT TO MEET THEM TOOOOOOO!!!! [ + / - ] wow! That’s so sweet but I’m not surprised. Both of them seem to treat their younger groupmates really well so treating fans well also lines up. [ + / - ] they probably paid in hopes you’d do this and try and brainwash people into thinking they’re saints. I don’t buy it. They’re both fake. From their personalities to their faces, they’re both fake.
