Saki Nikaido

Ai Mizuno

Junko Konno

- listen to her voice in any song and then try not to vote for her, i dare you

junko has that anxiety swag, her hair is cool, she plays guitar, she’s amazing and i love her STREAM GEKKOU SURVIVE

Yugiri

Lily Hoshikawa

- you know that picture of that anime girl saying shut the fuck up terf that ended up in the british parliament? that’s her

she’s an amazing singer she’s absolutely hilarious and she WILL make you cry

Tae Yamada

- look at her. what is not to like here

- Ok, so the thing with Tae is, like the other idols in the anime, she’s a zombie. The difference is though, she’s the only one who acts like a zombie. She kinda just stumbles around and chews on people she likes, and that’s her whole thing. She doesn’t really sing, and just kinda stumbles through the dances, but she still has tons of fans and everybody likes her. Also she’s really good at playing the drums. This is probably pretty incoherent but ah well

- she is the great Tae Yamada

- THE LEGENDARY TAE YAMADA

-completely different in and outside of pripara

-POP, STEP, GETCHU

Sophy Houjou

- sophie is disabled but incredibly talented and passionate so she became an idol anyways. she switches between her cool effortless performance mode and a weak and disoriented private mode. her family / manager have tried to protect and support her but really they isolated her and made her think noone would like her when they find out about the other side of her.

she ended up feeling trapped and like she couldn't even perform how and with whom she wanted to, so she started trying to speak up and do things for herself. it's been hard but she's very determined to figure out how she can do things her way and cope with her limitations without giving up her freedom. she ditched her manager and her sister now lets her decide how she wants to be supported and she now knows she is loved by her friends any way she is <3

Amari Katasumi

- She's a beautiful chaotic anxious mess, a bit of a tonal shift from the older show's continuity that feels almost like a real, older girl stumbled into a candy-coated idol show and is rediscovering herself and her childhood. Her forgotten edgy OC came to life and they hatelove each other as a metaphor for her own self-hatred/love (that's canon). She has bi autistic bunnygirl swag (that's slightly less canon but I have seen her in an autistic character tourney and I think she won a round or two so I'm not the ONLY one seeing this). Her character song is a freaking BANGER and the lyrics hit way too hard. Both her normal and magical girl-idol designs are iconic.

But more seriously speaking it's a lovely story that resonates with me in particular because she's the same age I was when I was the biggest fan of the old show, and I imagine other fans around my age would say the same - so both her story itself and the metanarrative make her one for the books, even though her show was super delayed so it hasn't even finished yet.

Dorothy West

- silly. yells a lot. is sort of a ninja sometimes and cooks monjayaki. kind of sucks he's my really awful daughter.
