[1] The joke here is 不景気 (fukeiki) meaning economic recession sounds similar to ケーキ (keeki) which means cake. Thus, mona can be seen surrounded by desserts in the MV.
[2] A happi is a loose Japanese coat, often worn during festivals.
[3] Thomas Edison is widely credited with the invention of the lightbulb.
[4] The joke here is that 株価 (kabuka) meaning stock market sounds similar to カブ (kabu) which means turnip. Thus, mona can be seen surrounded by vegetables in the MV.
better late than never — i finally made updated family trees for the characters! they're pretty simple, but i hope they'll be useful
P.S. THESE DON'T INCLUDE EVERY CHARACTER!!!
P.S. i also added a little bonus (?) because i personally believe that Koyuki and RIO from FT4 are related and are actually cousins. (THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL INFORMATION — IT'S JUST A THEORY I'VE HAD FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS LOL.)
hopefully everything is easy to understand, but if anything is unclear, feel free to ask questions!
maybe one day i'll put everything together into one huge chart with all the connections in one place.
also, i've been thinking about making a big FT4 analysis post. if that sounds interesting, please let me know! i'd love to go through the entire timeline and all the information we currently know about the characters.
