I look away from weibo for 3 months and suddenly a whole aishota fan group appears out of nowhere. Some of the memes are there are wild

Guide about how to get into Burns Skool?

Omg I saw this so late please forgive me😭

To answer your question, I recommend starting with the songs first since it's the easiest way if you have little to no japanese language knowledge. The full versions of all the songs are available on YouTube so it's pretty accessible I think

Aside from that, there's also the burns skool 4komas I translated on my twitter account (my master doc for burns skool stuff should have all the links) plus the short prologue manga that gives some insight into the characters' backstories

BURNS SKOOL Translation Masterlist

There's also stuff like the voice dramas on YouTube but I never translated those (and I don't think I can at the moment because of real life stuff💀) as well as a radio program with the seiyuus on niconico I think?

But yeah those are the basic ways you can get into burns skool. There's also a fandom wiki I made a long while back for character profiles and stuff

Merry Christmas I think it's funny how in the aishota Christmas chibis, Hayato is the only one who doesn't have some kind of Christmas themed object with him (albïreo don't count because they're in full-on reindeer onsies)

I just realised 5th May is on a Sunday this year, just like back in 2019🤔

I rarely ever have headcanons but one of my personal setsu hcs is that he's never shown his "real self" to anyone else. Setsuna's had the whole thing about how his idol persona and his actual self are two separate people so the character we see in things like the radios is that "idol persona". But I've got a feeling he's only shown his idol persona even when around the others (stellarium, étailes etc.).

To the public, his schoolmates and most Stella*rium chouchou trainees and even the viewers, he is étailes' leader, Setsuna Sakurai. However, we rarely ever see how he's like when he isn't in the public eye save for that one drama track in IST 1 where juurou visits him and the prologue bit in TwiMemo. I won't count the prologue as evidence of him hiding his personality since he just joined étailes at that point. With Juurou, he seemed to hesitate when Juurou acknowledges his glasses (I might be looking too hard into to this), something that's used to kind of differentiate the idol, Setsuna Sakurai, from just Setsuna. We only see a glimpse what he's "really" like somewhere near the end of IST 3 when he talks about wanting to quit being an idol.

The original prologue comics also don't show current Setsuna alone by himself. All we have is a monologue and him catching up with former étailes.

He might not be able to reveal his "true self" to the other étailes members either since they are his juniors so he probably feels the need to be a good role model and older brother figure as part of his "perfect idol" image.

I'm not implying that Setsu is actually a completely different person and the character we've been seeing all this time is a fake but he's def concealing himself at least a little.

étailes and Lùcifer but they're sitting together

The Lùcifer pngs are more blurry-looking because they were stitched from a bunch of different pics with varying quality. Iori's leg (and Kenta's hand) cannot be reasonably cut from any existing images so I just deleted them✨️✨️

Every time I see this scene in the GIANT KILLéR mv it always looks like Hayato's other arm is missing

Dumb realisation I've had for a while

There are 7 letters in:

aishota

étailes

Lùcifer

albïreo

There are 7 members in étailes and Lùcifer

The main dance studio in the chouchou building is called 7スタジオ(Nana Sutajio) [this was revealed in ist 1 which means 7 member étailes was planned from the beginning][also I'm pretty sure some initial renders of the logo had 7 colours before reo and syun existed but maybe I'm hallucinating]

Setsuna and Sakurai both have 7 letters

7 is an important number for aishota

Therefore 7th anniversary will be its comeback🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Mark🎯 your👆 calendars📆 for 5th May 2026😲 guys‼️‼️‼️‼️ étailes will have its showtime✨️ once more❤💛💙🩵💜🩷💚 (and maybe lùci and albï too if mrym releases them from jail)
