This is the cutest thing that Rejet may have given as an earlier-christmas gift (for me as a MeiRitsu fan), as part of these Christmas-y scenarios for My Carol.

I do agree that the colors from this CG (and the other routes variants) are very dull, though? I understand that it’s supposed to look “bright” because of the lights, but let’s be honest...

Also slight complaints - 

* Mage, if it’s supposed to be cold... and I understand is kind of your go-to kind of sleveless clothes... I’m pretty sure a scarf doesn’t do anything to cover a “slight” cold breeze.

*Also, CG illustrator(s) and character designer for the game... Ritsuka could have used another couple of (newer) casual clothes too, ya know?

Talking about “VANQUISH”

Few things and comments about VANQUISH (and I think, it extends to Hello!! Crazy World!, as well? I cannot confirm, since it’s only a couple of comments about VANQUISH) that the DwD_info twitter account published a hour ago (that I can easily gather with help of a translator, you are welcome to translate them better, and correct me where I am wrong):

(here are the sources: 1, 2, 3)

* All the songs, in general, are written to fit the characters’ individual personalities. That’s why the music genres differ from one to another... but Mage’s is a distinctive one because of its inclusion of rap, as well...

* The rap verses are difficult to sing for anyone, especially the English words it has (for a native Japanese, imagine how hard it would be if they aren’t fluid in English, if it doesn’t sound “natural”) “who the heck could sing that?!” Kimura Subaru happened to be that guy when he was casted. His English specialty, plus his rapping ability (an “strong point”, -and as I previously mentioned, it is because he LOVES hip-hop-) proved to be splendid for Mage.

* The person who composed and arranged the song is called Evan Call, who is American. Apparently (according to the PR person that manages the DwD_info account), it was a rare sight having Call and Subaru (who is German-Japanese, btw...) chatting with each other in fluent-English in the (Japanese) recording studio.

Dance with Devils ep. 5 aka. the “Mage’s episode x3″

Nanashiro Mage for best boy, and choice for Ritsuka.

I’m going to elaborate later what I think from the entire episode (and lots of love to Kimura Subaru), but that’s how easy I can describe episode 5.
