Just kidding, it doesn't seem like I can disable custom comment pages on Dreamwidth so MonoSekai profiles are staying here on LJ. Please feel free to provide feedback, as I might be tweaking these designs more in the future.
Shirayama Aya (白山 綾) ・ Year 2 ・ Age 16 ・ DOB: Mar 8
Lead vocalist of Monochrome. In my dreams her seiyuu is Paku Romi.
An independent girl whose talent is singing, but inexperienced when it comes to performing. She's a self-proclaimed fangirl who idolizes Shigeru, and though she aspires to be a professional she's also very insecure. Unlike the majority of the students, she's only been attending the academy since Year 1 of high school. Besides her passion for music, she's also very interested in fashion.
Asakawa Shigeru (朝川 滋)・ Year 2 ・ Age 17 ・ DOB: May 11
Guitarist of Monochrome. In my dreams his seiyuu is Midorikawa Hikaru.
The younger brother of famous producer and former rock star Asakawa Keisuke, he has already made a name for himself as the best and brightest of the academy's young talents. Besides being a talented guitarist, his appeal seems to lie in his mysterious and calm aura, but it's rumored that he's completely different around his brother and close friends.
Sakamoto Masaki (阪本 雅輝) ・ Year 2 ・ Age 17 ・ DOB: Jun 13
Bassist of Monochrome. In my dreams his seiyuu is Suzumura Kenichi.
Roommate and cousin(?) of Shigeru and Keisuke. The second most popular and arguably the most talented of his year, after Shigeru. He's friendly and outgoing, but avoids leadership positions and never talks about anything of his past, like where he received his varied musical training. In addition to playing the bass and guitar, he is highly skilled at piano and violin.
Nakano Yoshiyuki (中野 義幸) ・ Year 3 ・ Age 18 ・ DOB: Apr 22
Drummer of Monochrome. In my dreams his seiyuu is Suwabe Junichi (or Okiayu Ryoutarou).
A charming and elegant senior, usually called Yoshi. The oldest of the three Nakano siblings. His motives for suddenly accepting Shigeru's offer after declining all past band invitations are unknown. His current "girlfriend" is Noriko, but he flirts with just about anyone regardless. He seems to never take anything seriously and it's difficult to know what he's really thinking.
Sugitani Noriko (杉谷 乃理子) ・ Year 3 ・ Age 17 ・ DOB: Sept 16
Fashion student and costume designer. In my dreams her seiyuu is Tamura Yukari.
A talented fashion design student who normally dresses in Lolita-type clothes. She's extremely positive, bubbly and outgoing, and is one of the few people who is friends with nearly everyone involved in the top bands, which is quite a feat considering some of their personalities. She's Yoshi's current girlfriend but doesn't seem to mind that he's not very faithful.
Asakawa Keisuke (朝川 慶介) ・ Part-time instructor ・ Age 25 ・ DOB: July 19
Music producer and teacher. In my dreams his seiyuu is Sugita Tomokazu.
Shigeru's older brother. Formerly a popular rock musician and currently a producer and part-time teacher at the academy, where he also graduated from. He's extremely charismatic and hardworking, and has been playing and writing music since a young age. Because of issues with their parents, he has cared for Shigeru for most of his life and continues to look after him.
Nakano “Noelle” Koyuki (中野 小幸・ノエール) ・ Year 2 ・ Age 16 ・ DOB: Jan 21
Guitarist of Argentyne. In my dreams her seiyuu is Neya Michiko.
Yoshi's younger sister and Kazu's older half-sister. The co-founder and leader of Monochrome's rival band, Argentyne. Well-known as one of the top guitarists of the school, and views Shigeru as her main rival. Personality-wise she seems hostile, but also has quite a few admirers. She claims to dislike most men, especially the ones who try to make advances on her.
Nakano Kazuyuki (中野 和幸) ・ Year 1 ・ Age 15 ・ DOB: Dec 24
Orchestra violinist. In my dreams his seiyuu is Fukuyama Jun.
The younger half-brother of Yoshi and Noelle. Unlike his brother and sister he's kind but withdrawn, and is also the only sibling to be in the classical orchestra. His siblings seem to treat him as some kind of servant, but normally he's too afraid to stand up to them. He's currently the second violin section leader, though he's rumored to play several other instruments.
Kasahara Michiyo (笠原 未知代) ・ Year 3 ・ Age 17 ・ DOB: Feb 14
Orchestra violinist and choir singer. In my dreams her seiyuu is Noto Mamiko.
She seems weak-willed, but in addition to being
concertmaster of the classical orchestra, she is also the student council president and heiress to a major instrument-producing company. Her family and the Nakanos seem to have some sort of rivalry, but rumors concerning her and Kazuyuki's relationship are numerous. Her quiet, graceful demeanor is popular among male students.
Kisaragi Tomo (如月 智) ・ Year 1 ・ Age 15 ・ DOB: Oct 1
Vocalist of Argentyne. In my dreams his seiyuu is Miyano Mamoru.
A first-year prodigy who supposedly recently returned from studying music in Austria. His older half-brother is a former bandmate of Noelle's, so he formed a band with her upon arriving at the academy. He's confident to the point of being arrogant, but has the singing talent to back it up.
Yasukura Aoi (安蔵 葵) ・ Year 1 ・ Age 15 ・ DOB: Nov 10
Drummer of Argentyne. In my dreams his seiyuu is Ishida Akira.
Compared to the other members of Argentyne his skill as a musician is considered average, but neither this fact nor his tendency to act cold and uncaring seem to affect his popularity. It's known that at one time he was very close with Ran, but the current friction between them is a point of concern for Noelle and Tomo.
Suzujima Ran (鈴島 蘭) ・ Year 1 ・ Age 15 ・ DOB: Aug 30
Bassist of Argentyne. In my dreams her seiyuu is Hisakawa Aya.
A skilled first-year bassist who dresses like a boy and seems rather unconfident, perhaps since Tomo and Aoi are drawing supporters for the band based on their looks. She's childhood friends with the two of them, but Aoi has become hostile towards her upon their entry to high school.
OH. AND THIS JUST IN: SCHOOL IS OVER
