It have been 2 days since Jiku’s sweet kingdom art are released but I’m still cannot stop shivering about this.
Did you see what I am seeing?
KaiShun and IkuRui have the same shooting angle and even their poses have similarities with each other too! Kai looks like a king and Iku is like a prince, Shun is the queen and Rui is like a princess. In recent years, Iku and Rui increasingly resemble their seniors but I can say that this is the clearest evidence for it!
I’m really looking forward to see how mature the “Beast master and White devil lord” second generation will maturity.
I need prompts and whatnot for writing-- can yall gimmie a bunch? be it characters, ships, senarios-- specific or vague, anything at all im willing to try atm! It'll range from a small drabble to a possibly bigger thing to even maybe being posted in my ao3 oneshots! Just go ahead and send me anything, anon is on and im ready~ (you can also send multiples if you want i suppose? I like variety and theres never a 100% chance that i can come up with something so the more you give the more likely ill respond~) But yeah! I need inspiration and variety and practice so come at me! OTP's, rarepairs, crack ships, BrOTP's, combi adventures, ot3s ot4s-- hell ot12s, sfw, nsfw, anything~ Just no OCs or self inserts since im not a fan of it and ik multiple people with sensitivities to that. (Kinks are ok to req for nsfw ones but if i dont like one dont be mad if i dont do it)
also, ONLY TSUKIUTA BOYS!!! I'm not really a Tsukipro fan, so I cant write them well. In fact I still don't know most of soara and growth's names so yeah-- just dont request tsukipro or tsukicro (alitar)
But yeah, depending on how many requests ill get, ill likely close this in a day or two~ if you want an example of my writing check me out on ao3 as MiraculousWritings.~ Anyways, requests open~
This is just going to be a summary of the Demon Lord Kai theory and Hajime’s Lover was Shun theory. I won’t quote anything...at least not much.
@aina-akabane and I were just discussing the puzzles pieces and she said if you connect all of them together Tsukiuta seems fucked up.
Let’s just talk about the setting of Tsukiuta a bit though.
A series based on characters of the 12 months of the year.
They were scouted by a mysterious man, Tsukino Mikoto, by finding the rabbit, Shiroda the white rabbit for Procellarum and Kuroda the black rabbit for Six Gravity.
Now isn’t this strange? He took one look at them and decided they could be an idol, no audition, nothing. Just because they found a rabbit which seemed to be there for them to find.
The leader of Six Gravity is Mutsuki Hajime a man who’s like a King and who felt like he never fit in. Though he doesn’t want to be called King, everyone treats him like a King, as if it’s completely natural for them to do so.
The leader of Procellarum is Shimotsuki Shun, a whimsical man who calls himself the Demon Lord, who became an idol just became he heard Hajime became one. He just saw Hajime’s name on top of his in academics, never seen the guy before (he asked Kai what kind of person is he) and decided to leave his posh home of a rich young master to travel to Tokyo when he hadn’t even known how to take a train before.
It’s quite romantic, but it’s not normal. He hadn’t even met Hajime before, only knew his name and that he was the only one who could put his name in front of his. And decided his dream was to form a bond with him.
Hajime and Shun become the leaders of Six Gravity and Procellarum and are known as the Black King and White Demon Lord.
While the Black King is certainly like a King (but doesn’t really want to be one) the White Demon Lord is not like a Demon Lord.
When you think Demon Lord you think evil, the most evil thing Shun has done is laugh evilly before he drew out the card in Procellarum’s radio show before he proudly showed off his Hajime fanclub (No. 6) card. And challenging the prince to a boss fight as Demon Lord in their radio show Shunderella but all because he wanted to marry the king Hajime.
Shun is unpredictable, mysterious, whimsical, but he isn’t evil. He gives good luck to people, encourages Yoru, listens to Kai’s first love story, says he wants to see Hajime shine. He even said he can’t be bitten by mosquitoes because he decided the only thing that can penetrate his skin is love??? Shun what Maou-sama
In fact Shun is more like a princess, even officially as Shunderella. He prefers to not work, he gets Kai to make tea for him, he’s spoilt, but elegant and speaks with a delicate voice, he always speaks about love, he sings about love to the tune of Let it Go from Frozen (”Love is all~”) and got jealous when they were admiring Elsa’s powers and said his attribute is ice too and he could create an ice castle too, he treats the Underworld like some sort of vacation place, Diablo (who probably is really dangerous) like some cute pet, uses his powers as the Demon Lord for good and to help people. It’s like he has the powers and unlimited magic power of a Demon Lord but his demeanor is like a kind princess??
Like something is off here lol. Shun isn’t evil like a Demon Lord. He’s like a loving princess with the powers of the Demon Lord and so used them for good.
He’s mysterious and unpredictable but not malevolent. His antics are all because he’s bored and all in fun. He likes to take his clothes off because he doesn’t like the feeling of clothes sticking to his body but other than the ‘enlightenment’ he gave to photographers it’s all in harmless fun.
And then we have Kai the guy who is too nice who says he wants everyone to rely on him, who has a first love story where she died due to illness and he decided to do everything she couldn’t do and so became an idol. The perfect big brother, father, husband...
Who has a song out of nowhere called Beast Master where he sings about having a beast which hides inside the chest of the older brother and how he gets jealous when their gaze always strays and once he captures them, he will never let them go. And says if the person wants to tame the beast (him), to make him wear their collar. The person who is the princess of the beast master.
There’s only one person who wears anything around their neck. It’s not Mizuki, whose songs complement Kai’s but not completely.
It’s Shun.
Shun wears a choker given by his producer Kikuo as a musical instrument and to seal his power.
Kai told his princess that if she wants to tame him, to make him wear her collar.
If Shun is his princess (he treats Shun like a princess anyway, taking care of him, serving him tea) that could imply Kai is the real Demon Lord and he gave his powers to Shun.
Kai even quotes Shun in his baton pass.
☆It’s July starting today!☆
Rui「It’s the Beast Master’s month starting today」
Kai「Come here~ Come here~ Young Lady~」
Beast Master never talked about a girl or young lady. Only a princess. ‘Young lady’ is from Shun’s Maou song, where the quotation marks seems as if he’s quoting someone else.
Kai said that to Shiroda, and Shiroda ran away from him to Rui, as if she could sense Kai was more evil than he seemed? Especially with that line.
Just like how Kuroda runs away from Haru. So the too nice Holy Mother Haru could be someone malevolent as well, especially with this picture
He looks as if he was in cahoots with Demon Lord Kai.
Kai has black wings here and in Japanese folklore is like a tengu but Lucifer (what Shun said his other name was) also has black wings like a fallen angel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satan
So that is a summary of Kai as the real Demon Lord theory.
Besides them, we have characters who have these strange quirks. Iku can charm anyone even a guy, Kakeru has eternal bad luck, Rui has a perfect ear for music, Koi’s sister Ai is a goddess candidate and he thinks he’s ordinary for some reason, You is son of a temple and his talismans even can stop Shun and his bad feelings (premonitions) are always right, Yoru can access other dimensions in his dreams...
The reason why I said it has a sinister story is because not only is the setting kind of off and the Demon Lord not really evil, there are repeated themes throughout the songs.
Labryinth, Wheel, Time, Dream, Flower, etc. Hajime’s Hyourin Shiki sings about how he bore a curse and it’s the wheel of suffering. Everyone’s songs, except Shun’s, has some kind of dark theme. Kakeru and Koi sing about the ‘worthless reality’ in their duet song, Innoceia. Yoru sings about how he sees the same people over and over again. Iku sings about ‘cruel tests’. Rui sings about how he hates the world and how ‘it can’t be saved, this cruel world’
Gravity is about the story moving on and the time can’t be repeated. GRAVITIC-LOVE tells about a labryinth where they want to disappear, ‘just the two of us’, probably referring to Hajime and Shun since they also sing about the noble form on the water surface, reflecting Hyourin Shiki, Hajime’s song. Procellarum’s ONE CHANCE is about the end of the world and walking alone in darkness. LOLV is about saying goodbye and pushing forward...forever.
It could be that they’re in an endless cycle of time and have to repeat it until they get it right, their memories sealed away by Kai the Demon Lord.
The next roulette that began to spin can’t return anymore
Let’s moving on.
- Gravity, Six Gravity

Faraway dreams
Memories sunk in the ocean
Drifting and vanishing
Swallowed by the era
- Tsuki no Uta, Procellarum and Six Gravity
http://tsukiuta.wikia.com/wiki/Tsuki_no_Uta
Tsukiuta has no heroine despite being an idol series
It’s my theory that Shun is the secret heroine.
@aina-akabane and I discussed and there are probably mythology elements and the characters are probably characters from various mythology.
Hajime was probably a real King, the Black King. Shun was his lover, but he - she wasn’t the Demon Lord. She was a Yuki Onna (Snow Woman) whom Hajime fell in love with.
Haru represents spring. He could either have been Hajime’s best male friend whom was in unrequited love with him, or Persephone, Hades’ wife, only Haru probably fell in love with Hajime and Kai fell in love with Shun and they conspired to get their respective loves. Even Haru’s little sister said he looked like the guy who would betray everyone in his Tsukino Empire design, and Kuroda was afraid of Haru, as he could be hiding something dark behind his glasses. Haru is dressed like a Yuki Onna in the picture because Haru wanted to be like Shun, because he/she loved Hajime who loved the Yuki Onna Shun was.
Which makes it even more likely Kai was the Demon Lord aka Lucifer the Archangel who turned into Satan/Hades when he Fell (Shun said his other name is Lucifer) Kakeru probably did something to earn his eternal bad luck. Judging from what Kai called Arata, ‘Aratael’, he was either Michael or Raphael.
I have no idea what Koi is, but he could be another angel perhaps since he sang with Kakeru about not being beautiful anymore and their worthless reality. And he sang about ‘the approaching judgement day, a flag I don’t want to discover’
Yoru is someone who can cross dimensions and time (See his Drama CD for Yuuyake Days and his song Kaze no Record). Probably a demon. He sings about someone who didn’t seem to return his love. That person is probably You, who could have been a priest and so couldn’t be together with Yoru. You having been a priest could be why he loves girls so much because he couldn’t be with girls as a holy man. Yoru could have still been a guy unlike Shun (and maybe Haru) because his love for You seemed unrequited.
That scary thing can cause Ragnorok aka the end of the world Yoru, you’re scary. Are you Thor, Yoru? Who fished the World Serpent?
Orrr Yoru could have been a ghost which is why he can travel dimensions and time. And doesn’t like taking photographs. And if You is a priest....more tragic than Romeo and Juliet. After all, Yoru means Night so it would make sense if he was a ghost, and he sings about drifting in his songs.
Aoi could have been a human and Arata was his guardian angel, or an angel. Aoi and Yoru probably knew each other in all those times.
Iku is most likely Orpheus, because he sings about his head still attached to his body.
Shake off the bitter memories
Don’t be separated from your head that clings on (to your body)
Depict your thoughts from your childhood
In order for the state of the dream to not end
- Kannaduki Iku, RUN BOY RUN
http://tsukiuta.wikia.com/wiki/RUN_BOY_RUN_(song)
His head and lyre, still singing mournful songs, floated down the swift Hebrus to the Mediterranean shore.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus
http://tsukiuta.wikia.com/wiki/Are_you_ready!%3F
And if you see the link, the original song title was Orpheus in the Underworld.
Orpheus was the musician who could charm anyone and anything with his music. He even managed to calm Cerberus
In another version, Orpheus played his lyre to put Cerberus, the guardian of Hades, to sleep, after which Eurydice was allowed to return with Orpheus to the world of the living.
Similar to how Iku calmed Diablo
Kai: The person himself is fine with it so it’s okay. Anyway, first I’ll put this Diablo into this box.
You: Hm… I’ve been having this bad premonition for some time now, but first of all we should seal this up with tape- Uwaaa!!!!
Yoru: *screams* It - it- it move!!! Iku!!!
Iku: Ehh?! Me?? Ah, u- um… D- Diablo!!! STOP!
Kai/Rui: Ohhhh~
Yoru: It… it stopped…
You: Dog? It’s a dog?? Diablo is a dog?!?!
Iku: Ah… well, it seems like Diablo has calmed down for the time being…
So Diablo is likely Cerberus, Hades’ pet and the three headed dog of the Underworld. And since Kai just took Diablo from Shun and put him in a box (wtf Kai as expected of the real Demon Lord) Kai seems to be Diablo’s real master aka the Demon Lord.
And Rui - I’m not sure but since he has a perfect ear for music he could have been Eurydice, Orpheus’s wife whom he ventured to the Underworld to get.
That’s all I have for now lol. Anyway if Shun was a girl aka the demon Yuki Onna maybe he’s now a guy because it was a punishment of some sort by a god, orchestrated by the Demon Lord and/or Haru? So that Hajime wouldn’t fall in love with him.
By the time the heat dissolves
With an unfriendly attitude
Everything will be destroyed
- CELESTITE, Shimotsuki Shun & Fuduki Kai
http://tsukiuta.wikia.com/wiki/Celestite_(song)
It’s our theory that once Kai realizes he’s the real Demon Lord everything will change. Shun will give him an unfriendly attitude (maybe he lost his powers?)
Even if one day this voice will be reduced to ashes
We won't let you feel lonely
Putting our thoughts in it, stronger than anyone else; come on

- Tsuki no Uta, Procellarum and Six Gravity

And the real story behind Tsukiuta will be revealed.
Well, this obviously doesn’t belong to me because it’s a link, but just wanted to share some amazing IkuRui fan art for Lunatic Party I found on twitter~
