[PS2] Kiniro no Corda 2 Encore - Kaji Aoi (Lovers Route)
So you know how I love my original characters very, very much, right? Which is why I'm asking xaevyn to help me buy two of the Hatsune Miku Nendoroids because she resembles one of my original characters. Miku is somewhat a mascot for a voice synthesizer programme, Vocaloid.
But anyway, I ended up listening various parodies of songs in her voice on Youtube and I AM HELPLESSLY ADDICTED TO THIS VID. Well, mostly the Ievan Polkka bit at the back with the FFVII BGM. Remember the catchy tune in that famous 2ch Orihime leek spin vid? (Sadly, leekspin.com is down/removed.) It's that song. Whoever made the vid (the first part is a parody of the Lucky Star opening) is pure genius. Btw, apparently the Miku Nendoroid sold over 10,000 units within first two days of apprearing online for pre-order and GSC had to shut their link down for a while XD;; And here I am, ordering TWO
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AYLIIIIIIIII~
Yesterday I met up with old friends for dinner and stupid photo-taking and Kino! Newtype Romance is there, as expected. Too bad there aren't SEED RGB chibis this time, but there's a gay gay gay Gayass pic. And guys from upcoming anime being sexy. Hmmm Rayne.
I don't know why I picked up another artbook ahahahaha. Picked up ZL and DGM on a whim because I couldn't find Kuro Shitsuji BLASPHEMY, Kino.
Well, actually I've wanted Kouga Yun's YOUR EYES ONLY artbook for some time, but since I have money to spend now and there's Kino's 20% discount for members, I thought it'll be a good time to buy it before I regret some other day. Also HAHAHA there's the infamous yaoi KiraAsuKira (who knows who's seme) fanart in the artbook! That's why I snerk at guys who go all "Gundam 00 will be so much better than SEED because it won't have stupid yaoi fangirls." I think Wing is so much gayer than SEED Obviously they do not know who 00's character designer/Kouga Yun is, hur hur hur.
The moment the first 15-second trailer was aired and everyone got a first glimpse of the characters, half my flist were already erupting with laughter over the unexpected combination of Gundam + Loveless and "OMG KOUGA YUN LET'S EXPECT BL KPLZ" lolol. Of course I've laid my eyes on Setsuna ever since that trailer, because 1. Shinn Ritsuka clone and 2. would be!psychotic uke.
Hm, Kaji's route for Encore. It was fun. I picked the lovers route (after completing the Corda 2 route for Kaji) so it was pretty funny when he called me "Kaho-san" when I ended my Corda 2 game with him still using "Hino-san". Lol stupid shoujo game. Ah, whatever.
He picks you up to go to school in the morning or something, I didn't take any pics of that. This was at the rooftop in school.
Kaji: Fufu, did you know that I like your smile?
I like yours more, Kaji! I think it's because he smiles a lot that I think I'm starting to like him more than Tsukimori... D: Ah well, too bad for the Tsundere Prince.
I don't remember what we were doing in Kira's office ahahaha. I haven't gone for him yet. (But I gave him presents while chasing after Kaji!)
Amou: Gen Ed 2nd year, Amou Nami! Do you remember me?
I don't know if he did remember her... *played this on Deepavali, which is on 8th Nov, so yay memory loss*
Tsuzuki: Nice to meet you, Hino-san. I am Tsuzuki Asato Mari.
Tsuzuki Asato is the main chara from Yami no Matsuei btw. *sporked* Before this game was released, I read that she was the evil queen bitch whom you have to please or something, but when I played the game, she wasn't like that! In fact, she's very, very nice. It's those other annoying people you had to please, and Tsuzuki was very encouraging. (And she even agrees to go shop for ingredients/presents for Valentine's Day with you and Amou if you decide to invite her.)
In my Corda 2 Kaji gameplay post, remember me saying that when there's some soft cream near your cheek/mouth, Amou tells Kaji to wipe it off for you? XD
Kaji: Ehh?!
Kaji's so shy in Encore. orz To think this is the very same boy who goes around fufufuing about how much he likes you in Corda 2!
Amou: Buuuuut, aren't you two going out?
I wonder how she knows. Maybe she has some sort of radar.
Amou: Ne, don't tell me you two have yet to hold hands?
BLAME IT ON KAJI. He pulls away his hand when you try to hold it. =_=;;
Amou: I see... as I thought so.
What, Amou, what?
Er, I think this was a gift event?
Kaji: Ah, maple sugar~ I like these. They're really sweet. I want to get diabetes!
Kaji: Won't you eat some too? I'll give some to you. :D
M-my gift.
I don't remember what was happening here >_>
Kaji: It's not like that. I thought Hihara-san was of the romantic (romantist) type.
So on one day, you perform a song in a concert or something, but some of the elitist guests were, "why the hell is a gen ed student playing/going to be a concert mistress blah blah blah". They're the bastards you have to please. I didn't take pics *lol stupid Nurul* but I think Kaji jumped to your defense, and then Tsuzuki or Kira ask him to play together with you.
Of course you two/the two of us are good, so the people are like "... ... ..." And then some random guy popped up haha.
Kaji's father: ...Aoi, what are you doing here?
Remember in Japan, you call people by their family names, but among family members, of course they would use first names. So Kaji's Dad is calling Kaji by his first name. I still like the sound of "Aoi". Too bad the Kanji character for "Aoi" is not the same character for "blue".
So apparently Kaji's father was quite a well-known musician, because the random people called him a sensei and started sucking up to him, those bastards. Dx So we leave.
Kaji: If you want me to help you (more like, save you from others), just call for me.
But you're so uke, what can you do? *bricked*
Kaji: Don't forget, that you're not alone.
He sends me text messages almost every day XD;; I forgot, we went for karaoke on 17th Jan, so he sent a text message saying that it was fun.
On a date again, where you can try to hold his hand again BUT.
Kaji: Ah... aa, Kaho-san, uh... I'm happy but...
This makes you the one wearing the pants in the relationship lolol.
On one weekend, we (girls + dateable boys) all went out together. I think at some point, Shimizu and Hihara went to grab some panda-looking chow (well, Shimizu was all, "Ah, panda....") and you get the option of chasing after Shimizu + Hihara, getting lost with Yunoki + Tsuchiura (I think, I don't remember) or tag along with Kaji and Tsukimori. Of course this means FOOD FIGHT IN CHINESE RESTAURANT (not) so I went with Kaji and Tsukimori. They're my top two favourite characters, anyway. ♥
It does look like a food fight's about to break out. =_=;
Or course there's more stupid people about, so they talk about you behind your back until you walk nearby. Then basically they try to pick a fight with you (well, more of, "You have a problem with that?") but Tsukimori comes and they shut up. Actually this was a Tsukimori event, I was kind of chasing after both Tsukimori and Kaji. >_>;;
When you try to hold Kaji's hand YET again. I think.
Kaji: (something along the lines of) It's not like (he's uneasy if) people will realize, just that...
Kaji: If possible, I want to do this when it's just the two of us.
He calls it "kawaii koto" but I can't bear to translate it as "I want to keep our cute things (i.e. hand-holding) just when it's the two of us" because it's too cheesy. DX
Tsukimori event, because I always talk to him when Kaji doesn't have anything new to say to me har har. On the roof, when he's eating.
Tsukimori: I see, that's great.
He asks me if I make my bento myself, and I said I did. Tee hee.
Kaji: Amou-san, Happy Birthday!
They should be a couple, seriously.
And the shopping for Valentine's stuff in which we dragged Tsuzuki along HAHAHA.
Tsuzuki: ...How about you, Hino-san? Have you decided on someone you want to give it to?
OF COURSE LULZ.
Kaji: I like spring. Because it's the season I found you.
He's a scary fanboy, transferring schools just to be in the same school after "finding you". I think this was already after he decides not to be shy and hide the relationship. There was one time where we bump into two classmates (also a couple) and they ask if you're on sort of!date and Kaji says yes without hesitating.
Performance time~
Kaji: Ah, that dress...
Kaji: Don't tell me you remembered the time when I told you about my favourite colour before?
Kaji: Fufu, if that's the case, then I'm glad.
What are you talking about, this was the same dress I wore in Corda 2 oi. =_=
After the concert.
Tsuzuki: Everyone, you're all here, aren't you? First of all, well done.
She proceeds to tell you that she has been believing in you etc. See, that was when I was, "So where's this Evil Queen label everyone slapped on her?" because she really is a nice person!
Oh btw, the concert was held on 14th Feb = my Sec 3 homeroom teacher's birthday Valentine's Day. So I meet Kaji after the concert.
Kaji: You wanted to talk to me, what is it.
Any guy would've known since it's 14th Feb... ~_~
Obvious question!
The text box is asking if you would like to give chocolates + present to him or not. I spent some five hours on this game, of course I WOULD GIVE.
Kaji: Ehh, you're giving this to me? Is it okay if I open it?
Kaji: I'm so happy, I couldn't say anything.
I kind of laughed when he said that.
Kaji: You must've been busy before the concert... wasn't it tough for you?
I said "It's okay" (first option). I didn't dare to pick the second one ("It was tough.").
Because he's a sweet guy, he says that he'll definitely get you a present for White Day. .In Japan, Valentine's Day is mostly for guys, White Day's for girls. Over here, Valentine's Day is mostly for guys to waste their money on girls. Poor guys.
Kaji: That's why I want to know more about you. What you like, what you wish for...
The game skips one month later to 14th March, which is of course, White Day. You have a concert performance on that day, so Kaji sends you flowers, before your performance.
Kaji: Will you meet me at the lobby? --- Kaji.
And then you run off, leaving Amou behind in the dressing room. XD
Kaji: I wanted to give you something, no matter what.
Kaji: It's a White Day present, so will you accept it?
Of course I know it's a White Day present. *girlfriend who expects too much lol* It's a pinky ring, btw.
He talks about how he saw it in a store and...
Kaji: I thought it would look good on you, and before I knew it, I had bought it...
IMPULSIVE BUYER JUST LIKE ME orz
Kaji: The truth is, there's actually an earring with the same design as the charm on this ring.
Kaji: I thought of getting it for you as a present too, but...
Kaji: I guess it's better for me. XDb
He wears an earring on his left ear, remember? So in a way, we'll be wearing accessories with the same design. I think it's cheesily cute. ^^;
Kaji: Ah, I'm sorry. It's almost time for you, isn't it?
Kaji: Go on. I'll be looking forward to your performance.
This is from the ending, before the cast credit roll appears.
After the credit roll~
Kaji: Nee, Kaho-san. There's a shop selling soft cream over there. Shall we go get some?
Ahaha, it's the whole "you have some soft cream near your mouth" thing again.
Kaji: It's around the upper right side of your mouth. It's just a little spot.
Kaji: Hold on, I'll get it off for you.
He's no longer shy about it~
Kaji: There, got it off. :)
ARGH CLOSEUP ARGH
MOAR CLOSE UP
Well, this is a different kind of close up, so I don't mind 8D
Kaji: I said I loved you.
He's back to the old, I'm not shy!Kaji! \o/
Unlocked CG folder~
I was looking around at the CG folder and was, "Hey, when did I unlock this?" but apparently it was in the opening (in which I skipped). Stupid Nurul.
Two more CGs to unlock. orz I unlocked all of Kaji's CGs from Corda 2 as mentioned before (they're the first two from the first row and all of the ones from the last two rows), but I have two more from Encore left. It's the ones where Kaji's looking all seme and pulling you from something, which I assume is a variation of the scene where people are being nasty to you somewhere at the beginning of the game, and the one in the classroom, which I used for my Mermaid icon. *points to icon for this post*
I still haven't edited the piccies from the Tsukimori Corda 2 gameplay. Unresized photos are 480MB in total, wtf, Renn. That's the name of my camera, because I'm silly. It's 25% named after Tsukimori Ren, and 75% after Kiriyama Ren, Tenimyu's Marui Bunta from Rikkaidai. The latter is the one who spells his name as Renn. I have also completed Tsukimori's route but... *sobs* It's even sadder than his Corda 2 ending!
PS teletha, you have Meer boobies coming your way. :D
But anyway, I ended up listening various parodies of songs in her voice on Youtube and I AM HELPLESSLY ADDICTED TO THIS VID. Well, mostly the Ievan Polkka bit at the back with the FFVII BGM.
