FAN CALLBOOK Team ONIBE Call Guide Ver 3.3 Updated on 2017.03.12 Introduction - What is this book? What you have in your hand right now is a “Call Guide/Book”. These are free books given by fans of the community in order to help guide and teach you throughout the day(s) of the concert. In this guide, we will teach you the basic calls you should shout back during various MCs and songs during the concert as well as basic actions you should do with your light stick. There is also an accompanying Concert Guide in which we outline the basics of idol concerts and equipment. If you have a programmable Kingblade (see the Concert guide), this is the QR code that matches the official Aqours First Live Kingblade. Mikan -> Sakura Pink -> Emerald Green -> Red -> Light Blue -> White -> Yellow -> Violet -> Pink Credits This Call Guide was created by the joint efforts of members from the Love Live Reddit Community (r eddit.com/r/LoveLive ), Love Live Wikia ( @ll_wikia) and Team ONIBE (o nibe.moe) .

All songs and images belong to their respective owners. Friendly PSA to Live Viewing Attendees DO NOT TAKE PICTURES OR VIDEO OF THE LIVE VIEWING!! We'd like to remind everybody to please DO NOT film or record ANY part of this LV. This includes Snapchat/Instagram/etc. If you are caught recording you can and will be kicked out with no refund. It W ILL i mpact your country's future chances of getting another LV, as Japanese companies take copyright infringement VERY seriously. Basically if any part of your country's LV is recorded and put on the internet you've basically ruined your country's chances of getting another LV / other anime movies or showings in the future. This is especially important for countries that have just gotten LV's for the first time for Aqours, as they are testing the waters right now to gauge the market. Any negative things can and will impact future chances. Do not get your country b lacklisted. It only takes one person to create a bad image for the entire community. DON'T RISK IT, AND SAY SOMETHING IF YOU SEE OTHERS RECORDING OR REPORT THEM TO THE STAFF. Seiyuu Ca and Response (information as of 27/12/16, thanks to @meguchiinyan) Towards the start of the concert, the Seiyuu of the girls will do a standard introduction along with a call and response segment afterwards. Although they cannot hear you, this is just a common thing to hype up the crowd and can be fun to participate in. These calls and responses will follow the order the girls did their ones at during the Christmas Mini Live in December, 16. Aikyan - Yohane Shukashuu - You Aikyan: Ohayohane! The beginning part depends on the stage/venue. Audience : Ohayoshiko! Shukashuu: [Location] ni mukatte, zensoku Aikyan: Dakara Yohane yo! zenshin! Aikyan and audience : Pyon~ (Do a little hop) Audience and Shukashuu: Yousoro! (Point your fingers straight ahead) King - Hanamaru Shukashuu: Kara no~ Audience and Shukashuu: Keirei! (salute King: Ohana~ here) Audience : Maru! (Make a circle above your head with your arms) Suwawa - Kanan Aiai - Ruby Suwawa: Minna-san gokigen ikaga kanan? Audience : Daibu ii kanji~ Aiai: Kyou mo ichinichi Suwawa: Yoshi, Ja hagu shiyou (Hug Aiai and audience : Ganbaruby! someone) Rikyako - Riko Arisha - Dia Rikyako: Biichi, sukecchi? Increase your pitch for the hoooo~ Audience : Sakurauchi~ Arisha: Minna-san, Daiyahoo! Rikyako: Suki no tabemono wa Audience : Daiyahoo! Audience : Sandouicchi~ Arisha: BUU BUU desu wa! (repeat again) Anchan - Chika The third kan kan mikan is slower and emphasized! Ainya - Mari Anchan: Kan kan Ainya: SHINY! Audience : Mikan! Audience : SHINY! Anchan: Kan kan Ainya: And, Lock on! Audience : Mikan! Anchan: Kaan~ Kaan~ Audience : Mi-ka-n! Song cas and chants 101 A more detailed guide by /u/afdd931 with video demos and examples can be found here: https://redd.it/5qmna8 Hai Chant Seno Call Repeatedly chant “h ai“ (with and when the beat Used to lead into another chant/call, “s eno > begins); used during instrumental breaks and or (chant)” . Depending when it’s used will a follow up to a PPPH. determine what next chant is to follow up with. During Pre-Chorus: Hai Call Combo > PPPH Hai Call Combo During Chorus : Fuwa Chant Two regular hai called then followed by four faster hai, “H ai! Hai! HiHiHiHi” . Lyric Chant Essentially, knowing the song in order to shout PPPH out phrases from the lyrics itself or as the A follow up to a Seno Call during the pre-chorus backup vocals similarly like responses. by repeatedly chanting, “O ooh > Hai” . Then (eg: Shouting back “OH YES DOKI DOKI followed up with a Hai Chant before entering SUNSHINE” during Kimi Kokoro) the chorus of the song. *Keep in mind not all songs will preface a PPPH Chorus Combos with a Seno Call or finish a PPPH with a Hai Chant. There are various types of chorus chants/calls. The choice of combo depends on the rhythm Fuwa Chant and possibly lyrics of each song’s chorus. Chanting Fuwa four times consecutively; a “Seno Call” follows up during the chorus, Combo 1 (Most Common) “ fuwafuwafuwafuwa ”. * Part A: O ooh > FuFu * Part B: S eno > FuwaFuwaFuwaFuwa Standalone Fu Chant Combo 2 Unlike other chant/call that uses the “f u” in its * Part A: F uFu combos. The standalone fu can be used in * Part B: F uFu various ways that allow this chant to infuse itself * Part C: S eno > FuwaFuwaFuwaFuwa with the music. Ca Guide While we have done our best to make sure the calls are as accurate as possible, it may not be 100% correct as fans may interpret songs in different ways. Take it as a guideline, listen to audience cues, and remember to have fun! The song order in this guide are as follows: ● First Single (Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai?) ● Second Single (Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM) ● Anime OP Single (Aozora Jumping Heart) ● Anime ED Single (Yume Kataru yori Yume Utaou) ● Anime Insert Singles ● Blu-ray Disc Singles ● SIF Collab Single (Jingle Bells ga Tomaranai) ● Subunit Singles Legend: Red Text: L yrics you should shout back Ultra Orange / Switch Blade to Orange : When you should switch your blade to orange or pop an Ultra Orange. Normally, popping UOs is generally left to personal preference. A general rule of thumb to follow is to pop them either during the final chorus of your favorite songs, or moments of hype during certain songs, as well as during any parts that bring Chika into focus, as she is the leader with an image color very similar to orange. If you’re not sure of when you should pop UOs/switch your blade to orange, here are some possible areas that you could do it: KimiKoko: At the ChikaRiko duet YumeTera: At the final chorus, right before “Kienai” OmoHito: At the YouChika duet at the beginning, as well as the YouChika bridge MiraTike: At the Chika solo after the first chorus Feel free to do it anytime; you’re not limited to songs with Chika in them. For example, if you especially love Strawberry Trapper a lot, then you could have popped UOs for the whole song just to show off your hype for it being performed live. Ultra Blue / Switch Blade to Blue : A new thing for LLSS, and is applicable for Koi ni Naritai AQUARIUM and Mirai TICKET because of the clear blue shifts in their PVs.

Over time, Japanese New Wave Cinema has come to occupy a central position within the narrative history of Japanese film studies. This position has helped introduce many significant films while inadvertently ostracizing or ignoring the much broader landscape of film at this time. This thesis seeks to complexify the New Wave’s central position through the career of Daiei Studios’ director, Masumura Yasuzo.

    久須本文雄 Kusumoto Bun’yū (1907-1995) 禅語入門 Zengo nyūmon Tokyo: 大法輪閣 Daihōrin-kaku Co. Ltd., 1982 An Introduction to Zen Words and Phrases Translated by Michael D. Ruymar (Michael Sōru Ruymar) 1 What follows is a translation of Kusumoto Bunyū’s (久須本⽂雄) 1982 book Zengo Nyūmon (禅 語⼊⾨, An Introduction to Zen Words and Phrases, Tokyo: Daihōrin-kaku Co. Ltd.), absent its glossary of monastic terms. The main text consists of 100 words and phrases selected by Dr. Kusumoto for exegesis from a variety of sources, but particularly from classic kōan (Zen case) collections like the Blue Cliff Record, the Gateless Barrier, and the Book of Serenity, as well as from the collected writings or sayings of renowned Zen Masters from both China and Japan, like Zen Masters Linji and Dōgen, or, again, from the poetry of such as Han Shan (Cold Mountain) and others. As a genre, there are numerous books of this kind available in Japan, and I have become familiar with two excellent Zengo texts now available to English readers: (i) Moon by The Window: The calligraphy and Zen insights of Shodo Harada (Wisdom Publications, 2011), !and (ii) Zen Words Zen Calligraphy (Tankosha, 1991). It is evident from the breadth and depth of his commentaries that Dr. Kusumoto brought a lifetime of study to bear on the matter contained herein. Though sketchy, he was born in 1908 and graduated in 1933 from what is now Hanazono University, one of several prestigious institutions at which he was destined to lecture in his areas of specialization: Chinese philosophy and Zen studies.

The Female Gaze in Contemporary Japanese Literature Abstract The female gaze can be used by writers and readers to look at narratives from a perspective that sees women as subjects instead of objects. Applying a female gaze to discourses that have traditionally been male-dominated opens new avenues of interpretation that are empowering from a feminist perspective. In this dissertation, I use the murder mystery novels of the bestselling female author Kirino Natsuo and the graphic novels of a prolific four-woman artistic collective called CLAMP to demonstrate how writers are capable of applying a female gaze to the themes of their work and how readers can and have read their work from the perspectives allowed by a female gaze. Kirino Natsuo presents a female perspective on such issues as prostitution, marriage, and equal employment laws in her novels, which are often based on sensationalist news stories. Meanwhile, CLAMP challenges the discourses surrounding the production and consumption of fictional women, especially the young female characters, or shojo, that have become iconic in Japanese popular culture.
  • Kanshi, Haiku and Media in Meiji Japan, 1870-1900

    Kanshi, Haiku and Media in Meiji Japan, 1870-1900

    The Poetry of Dialogue: Kanshi, Haiku and Media in Meiji Japan, 1870-1900 Robert James Tuck Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Robert Tuck All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Poetry of Dialogue: Kanshi, Haiku and Media in Meiji Japan, 1870-1900 Robert Tuck This dissertation examines the influence of ‘poetic sociality’ during Japan’s Meiji period (1867-1912). ‘Poetic sociality’ denotes a range of practices within poetic composition that depend upon social interaction among individuals, most importantly the tendency to practice poetry as a group activity, pedagogical practices such as mutual critique and the master-disciple relationship, and the exchange among individual poets of textually linked forms of verse. Under the influence of modern European notions of literature, during the late Meiji period both prose fiction and the idea of literature as originating in the subjectivity of the individual assumed hegemonic status. Although often noted as a major characteristic of pre-modern poetry, poetic sociality continued to be enormously influential in the literary and social activities of 19th century Japanese intellectuals despite the rise of prose fiction during late Meiji, and was fundamental to the way in which poetry was written, discussed and circulated. One reason for this was the growth of a mass-circulation print media from early Meiji onward, which provided new venues for the publication of poetry and enabled the expression of poetic sociality across distance and outside of face-to-face gatherings. With poetic exchange increasingly taking place through newspapers and literary journals, poetic sociality acquired a new and openly political aspect.

    Sayuri Arai Dissertation Final Final Final

    © 2016 Sayuri Arai MEMORIES OF RACE: REPRESENTATIONS OF MIXED RACE PEOPLE IN GIRLS’ COMIC MAGAZINES IN POST-OCCUPATION JAPAN BY SAYURI ARAI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Chapmpaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Clifford G. Christians, Chair Professor Cameron R. McCarthy Professor David R. Roediger, The University of Kansas Professor John G. Russell, Gifu University ABSTRACT As the number of mixed race people grows in Japan, anxieties about miscegenation in today’s context of intensified globalization continue to increase. Indeed, the multiracial reality has recently gotten attention and led to heightened discussions surrounding it in Japanese society, specifically, in the media. Despite the fact that race mixing is not a new phenomenon even in “homogeneous” Japan, where the presence of multiracial people has challenged the prevailing notion of Japaneseness, racially mixed people have been a largely neglected group in both scholarly literature and in wider Japanese society. My dissertation project offers a remedy for this absence by focusing on representations of mixed race people in postwar Japanese popular culture. During and after the U.S. Occupation of Japan (1945-1952), significant numbers of racially mixed children were born of relationships between Japanese women and American servicemen. American-Japanese mixed race children, as products of the occupation, reminded the Japanese of their war defeat. Miscegenation and mixed race people came to be problematized in the immediate postwar years. In the 1960s, when Japan experienced the postwar economic miracle and redefined itself as a great power, mixed race Japanese entertainers (e.g., models, actors, and singers) became popular.
  • Bitcoin and the Japanese Retail Investor

    Bitcoin and the Japanese Retail Investor

    BITCOIN AND THE JAPANESE RETAIL INVESTOR by Maksym Grinenko Graduate Programme for Transcultural Studies eighth generation Heidelberg University A dissertation submitted in fulfllment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Harald Fuess Prof. Dr. Hans Martin Krämer July 29, 2019 Abstract The objective of this research is to examine the Bitcoin rally of 2017 as it occurred in Japan and establish a greater context for why it was the Japanese retail investors that propelled the nation to being the largest trader of the cryptocurrency at the end of the year. This dissertation begins with the examination of the technical and economical properties of Bitcoin by classifying it as fulflling two roles: that of a means of payment and that of an investment commodity. Following that is a description of Bitcoin’s roots and the history of its non-speculative usage. These chapters serve as a base for examin- ing the cryptocurrency’s role in Japan. The third chapter examines the Japanese retail investor and the Japanese retail investment landscape with a focus on the question of the low rates of risk-asset participation in face of a favorable investment environment. Historical context is drawn upon to argue that the present situation, wherein most fnan- cial assets are kept as cash, is rather the result of the historical path dependence than the present-day conditions in which Japanese retail investors operate. The fnal chapter addresses the question of high-risk activities in the form of gambling and margin trading by a group of predominantly middle-aged men and connects this propensity to engage in zero-sum games with Bitcoin’s success in Japan.
