Fans always joke about LUNAIRE being hellish clients at restaurants because more than half the members have strict dietary restrictions.
Panda can eat meat, but it hurts his stomach, so he usually sticks to vegetarian meals.
Yuuta is allergic to gluten, so unless you want him to die looking like an inflated balloon, please don't give him any.
Toge doesn't have any allergies (he was technically lactose-intolerant as a kid, but he's French. He got rid of the small intolerance by forcing his body to adapt), but he has a vegan diet for his body and voice to be at top-capacity at all times. He has one day a month when he can eat anything he'd like, though.
Maki is lactose-intolerant, although she mostly endures the pain and the farts. She's a warrior.
Yuuji is also a warrior, just not a lactose-intolerant one. Give him dairy and he'll vomit blood. So yeah, they just don't do it.
Nobara is "only" allergic to kiwi and pineapple. She's doing just fine.
Megumi isn't allergic to any food. Everyone hates him for that.
Believe what you will but I refuse to believe that Yaga didn't give out the best and warmest hugs to Panda. I feel like Panda is definitely a hugger even being all grown up.
They be bear hugging and now I wanna know what that experience is like.
On another note though, Yaga is such an underrated character so I'm hoping with the new season coming out I'll be able to write something for him!
Wanted to post this before heading out :D Here is a list of headcanons of what I think Jacob would act if he were sick XD Hope you enjoy and please leave comments ;3
1. Jacob hates being sick altogether. He can’t run the rooks and go around as he pleases without getting dizzy
2. Will use any excuse to get out of bed
3. Will want you in the bed also to keep him warm as he says
4. You would most likely force him to stay by tightly putting the blankets around him
5. He will refuse any kind of medicine, so you would have to come up with ways to encourage him to do so
6. Most likely to walk around almost naked (he would be in briefs) if you allow him to walk around a bit
7. He would complain that he doesn’t need to stay in bed cause he feels fine
8. While checking his temperature, he will kiss your palm to coax you into doing something to keep him occupied in bed
9. You refuse, but half-heartedly cause you wanna do it too
10. When it comes to feeding him, he will not waste the opportunity to tease you
11. When you are feeding him, he has that signature devil smile and a cocked eyebrow
12. He can barely move, so you hafta wipe his mouth of any residual food
13. Will use that opportunity to lean in for a kiss, but is denied
14. When it’s time for him to rest, he begs you to give him a good night kiss
15. He is giving you his puppy eyes and it’s getting harder to say no; you end up attempting to give him one on his cheek
16. That gave him the opportunity to kiss you full on the mouth and bring you into bed with him
17. He does not let you go and he falls asleep with you in his arms. You do the same because his hold on you is like iron and is hard to get up cause he has one leg around you also
18. The next morning, he is up and about, feeling tons better
19. Now comes the part where he makes up for being sick with his signature smile and devilish eyes
debut date: september 2023
company: aurora music
concepts: badass, cute
aesthetics: cyberpunk, y2k, magical girl
LUNAIRE is a J-Pop co-ed group created by Aurora Music. They debuted in September 2023 with a dual concept, mainly inspired by Sucker Punch and Sailor Moon. LUNAIRE has seven members: Maki, PANDA, Yuuta, Toge, Yuuji, Nobara and Megumi.
(Moodboard can be found below the cut, as well as some facts.)
The group comes from a small company, and has Nanami Kento as their manager, as well as the (in)famous Gojō Satoru as their producer. While Nanami is mostly unknown, Gojō is a former idol of one of the biggest 2nd generation graduation groups, as well as a member of the co-ed trio Triple S and the male duo GG (now both disbanded).
'We wanted a group with freshness, with individuals who could show their youth as well as their rebellious side,' the producer told Shin Magazine in an interview. 'We wanted a group that makes people stare and think "Oh, they're odd people alright".'
musical inspirations: xg, stayc, weki meki
LUNAIRE is indeed an odd group, part of the 5th generation of J-Pop (author's note: in this universe, not actual J-Pop), hopping on the trend of co-ed groups and (dreams of) international success. Four out of seven members are foreigners and/or mixed, and all members have good to fluent levels in English.
With powerful vocals and raps, they also have a heavy-focus on fun choreographies, perfect for concerts (and TikToks).
Perhaps LUNAIRE's oddest quality is their leaders (plural, yes!).
Maki is the official leader of the group, but also the leader of MOON-D, the dance sub-unit. She's an ex-ballerina, and has been adapting to a more hip-hop style quite fast.
Toge is the leader of MOON-V, the vocal sub-unit. He's an ex-opera singer, and is seen as a prodigy since he started working as young as 16.
Yuuji is the leader of MOON-R, the rap sub-unit. He's an underground rapper, who's taken part in many battles and regularly ranked in the top 3, even bringing some trophies home.
Gojō explained why those three were chosen as the leaders for the sub-units:
'No leader is seen as "the best in their category". Maki and Yuuji are both dancers, but they also come from different dance backgrounds; same goes for Yuuta and Toge— And their tones, as well as Megumi's, are too different for us to fully judge. […] The leaders were chosen based on past experience. All of them —Maki, Toge, Yuuji— have been put in professional situations before, and know how ruthless it can be out there. Because of that experience, we see them as more able than the other members, who truly are rookies, to guide and help them.
Maki and Toge, especially, know the scene more than anyone else in the group. Maki started ballet when she was 3, and only decided to become an idol last year, when she was 21. As for Toge, he's been shown the ropes as young as 14; he has many years of experience with the scene, as well as the media.'
Although LUNAIRE having three leaders is already odd enough, that's not all: the members aren't ranked in different categories and with various sub-labels, like the 1st and 4th generation had done (the most notable examples would be now-disbanded WABI-SABI, as well as the famous groups Hanafubuki and BUREIKOU).
Instead, LUNAIRE decides to take inspiration from 2nd generation groups, and only have the basic "rapper", "vocalist", "dancer" labels as their positions. Their team has divided said labels in three "Moons" (to fit with their concept, very reminiscent of sci-fi movies and Sailor Moon).
Moon-D, the dance sub-unit, is made of Maki (leader), PANDA, Toge, Yuuji and Megumi.
Moon-V, the vocal sub-unit, is made of Toge (leader), Yuuta, Maki and Megumi.
Moon-R, the rap sub-unit, is made of Yuuji (leader), PANDA and Nobara.
The usual positions known by K-Pop and J-Pop consumers, "centre", "face of the group" and "visual", were also given to some members.
Maki is not only her sub-unit's leader, but also the group's. She is also seen as a visual.
PANDA, who isn't a real panda but a human hidden in a panda suit, is surprisingly a visual despite never showing his face. Intriguing.
Yuuta is a visual as well, and was given the role of the "face of the group" when the group debuted. After a year and a half, this role will be given to…
… Toge instead, who was chosen for "fitting the dual concept (badass/cute) more". With his doll-like features, he's also been considered an unofficial visual.
Megumi, the youngest member, was given the role of centre. While this role changes depending on the comeback, Megumi is often at the centre of pictures with Maki and Yuuta/Toge, as well as the centre in most choreographies.
When Gojō got asked if the group had a storyline, he laughed and answered:
'Yes, obviously.
The storyline isn't something to take too seriously, but it does exist; the group is basically filled with magical girls— Or badass video-game characters. The dual concept is the entire storyline, really: you have a group of young adults who try to make everything bubbly by fighting monsters with cool weapons. Their names are acronyms for all the different powers and abilities they have, and they're able to materialise themselves in a virtual world to make real life better— A bit like Code Lyoko, now that I think about it.
It's not a deep storyline, just a fun one that we really liked. PANDA likes drawing a lot, and he showed us panels of different plots he thought of; we just really, really liked them, so we thought about it some more. The point isn't for fans to remember a bunch of terms we made up, or for the lyrics to represent chapters in a bigger story— We just wanted a cute concept, and a badass one— And we had seven young, talented people with a lot of duality. They're sassy, they're quirky, they're bubbly and they're rebellious— We gave them the perfect concept, one that suited them, and honestly, we're just having fun with it!'
In short, stan LUNAIRE.
