Touma Amagase, Hokuto Ijuuin, Shouta Mitarai - Project Jupiter

[ikuto-sama]

If and ONLY if Iori said Shouta looks like the little brother she had always wanted. Then there's something we can think about...But that leads me to another question: "Are they wealthy?" (I guessing Hokuto is rich due to his hobbies. Touma could be normal wealth and Shouta...I don't know.)

Yeah I'm not quite sure about Shouta's financial standing...although in his profile it does say "Filial piety" and "honoring his parents...?"

No clue what the former is, but maybe he's financially strapped. Like...what if "honoring his parents" was a hobby, like going to a graveyard and talking to them and such because they're deceased?

...donno, I never looked at his hobby and jumped to that conclusion, but it just popped into my head at random.

Yeah, it could be possible that his parents are deceased and he doesn't have a lot of money. Or his parents could just be hard-working laborers and his family doesn't have much, so he wants to make them proud and help his family out and stuff.

Isn't "Filial Piety" means honoring his parents? Plus, that's not the only hobby he has, he likes to take naps, too. (According to the first page.)

"Financially strapped" as in...?
Before we get the conclusion of "Shouta's parents are deceased", his personality can't give me the feeling that he's been through that kind of sad past.

I kinda agree with the "his parents are hard-working laborers thing". (Does that mean he's the same thing  with Yayoi?)

Financially strapped as in, tight on cash.

And yeah, it was just a guess thrown out there. Thinking about it now, he does seem kinda carefree for that, but carefree doesn't much go with not having money, either (even Yayoi; 200% genki but a hard worker all the time).

Well, really...Shouta doesn't seem like one to have a hobby of honoring his parents, at all...that's why I had figured it was some sort of dramatic twist.

Who knows XD I guess we'll figure out when iM@S2 arrives.

There has to be a reason why he chooses "honoring parents" as a hobby.

I guess so, might as well wait till it arrives.

Yeah I thought that too. There's more to him than meets the eye... XD But he really does seem way too carefree to have a dramatic, depressing past. But yep, I suppose when IM@S2 arrives we'll see. :3

That ends one topic, now we'll talk about their seiyuus (voiceactors)

Here's 2 links of what they sound like when they sing other songs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVXebSuZTrI (Hokuto)

Aside from that a lot of people from the internet has been spreading rumors about Jupiter getting kicked out of IM@S 2 and making Ryuuguu Komachi playable again before the release, I asked a friend of mine (who was able to read Japanese) to see if it was true, she said that it was half true and half false. They actually want Touma out of the game because of these photos made by photoshop.



It made the people angry seeing this guy always with the ladies (and NOT Hokuto, the lady magnet).
At first, I felt quite surprised when I heard the rumor. Then, it just dies off from time to time...

Oh dear, let the fanwar begin. With pictures like that around...the fanboys are definitely going to grow to hate him. XD

I would love to have Azusa, Iori, Ami, & Ritsuko back since they're some of my favorite characters and it just seems odd without them, but I also like Touma. And I'd actually like to see more from the Ryuuguu trio, and I'm happy Ritsuko is realizing her dream, although I do want them back... (Then again, I'm a female IM@S fan, so I suppose I'm a bit biased...)

I actually like the way Touma and Hokuto sound singing. Their voices have a certain smoothness to them and aren't too gruff or over-the-top. Their seiyuus are doing a pretty good job. I hope we'll be able to see more from these guys. Anything from Shouta?

I think the slash is part of the reason why fans want them gone (but then again, it has to be considered that anything with more than 2 living objects in it gets slash. Of course, no one complained when the female idols get paired together...)

Fortunately for those who like/don't mind Jupiter, NBGI already confirmed that Jupiter (as well as RK) were staying as they were.

I don't get why fans would let some fanmade material like this get them all bothered XD

I know, right? Fanmade material is exactly that: for those fans. Why should fans who don't like pairings such as TouMiki get all hot and bothered? It's not canon. I still prefer the Idol x Producer pairing myself. XD

I mean, even when Jupiter was announced in IM@S2, some people got so mad that there was going to be males in the series that they started throwing out and destroying all of their IM@S merchandise, which is a little more than extreme. Well, at least we can play as the RK girls in Office mode... (Now I am wishing for another IM@S game in which we can produce them again lol. Another PSP game as well now that we're talking, though that's not too likely at the moment.) ^^;

Yeah, I think the Idol x Producer pairings are more "canon" than anything else, and to be honest I like them better that way XD Even being a female producer myself. It's just the way things work. XDD

And, people destroying their stuff over Jupiter was like...the epitome of overreaction XD Especially since the iM@S games up to that point were all of the ones without male idols in them...

Damn you Miki, get out of im@s and leave my Touma alone!!!!

You tell 'em Salem!

_{(did not mean for that to rhyme...)}

Talking about the songs with Touma and Hokuto's CV sang -- I'm not a big fan of either or.  I'm not sure why, I usually roll all over guy's singing, but both of them are... well just not as good as I would like.  And the videos with each Jupiter boy meeting Chihaya, Takane, and Hibiki-- I surprisingly enough enjoyed Shouta's voice the most X:

(that and i lol'd a lot when he pulled his *fake cry free money* stunt off)
