i'll expand on this when my brain is more mizuena pilled but the Bake No Hana has a bpm of 180, the same as your heart rate during a panic attack, which makes sense considering the event and story behind the song is when Mizuki is outed to Ena, causing her to run away and disappear, while Yoka Ni Mitorete is a slower, more gentle song, showing how Ena has unconditionally accepted her

I sing and produce songs, and really enjoy it!

my favourite group is Nightcord at 25:00, they are my entire life and i love them so much

one of my favourite songs is Yoka Ni Mitorete as the story behind the song brings me to tears every time because of how beautiful it is, alongside the event behind this song (and the nightcord event previous to this one) changing my life (MIZUENA AHHHHHH)

nope! but i wanna see a miku concert!

just the final lines for now cuz omg

"I'll stop breathing.
Ah, I've had enough..." (Bake No Hana)

this line shows how Mizuki was feeling about the events that heppened in mizu5, wanting to end it all due to being outed to Ena but in Yoka Ni Mitorete there is a new version of this line, to show how Mizuki and Ena feel now, after clearing everything up "Nevertheless we are both breathing, together." (OMG AHHHH I LOVE THEM THEY ARE SO LESBIAN AHHHHHHHHH)

help the more i read the lyrics the more i cry im actually so emotionally attached to mizuena

# data[].attributes.body
these songs hold a really special place in my heart, as without these songs and the events that came alongside them, it wouldve taken me much longer to realise my gender identity, and in turn, my happiness

Directors are responsible for bringing a Playwright's words to life on stage or leading the Actors in a direction to create a story, called 'devising'. They oversee every detail of the creative process and create a cohesive and compelling play by using their own artistic interpretation of the script.

What does a career in directing look like?

As a Director, you start the process by analysing the script, grasping its themes, characters and messages. You might plan what you want the play's key message to be before the actors join. Research and development days may follow - experimenting with ideas alongside the creative team. Both creative meetings and logistical production meetings with the production team happen throughout the process.

In rehearsals you guide actors through scenes, giving direction and ensuring that your vision is successfully coming to life. During technical rehearsals, sound and lighting elements are incorporated into the play, overseen by the technical designers. There will also be dress rehearsals with all costume, set and props. Directors may watch initial performances to provide feedback, but it's not mandatory. Once the show is running, your job is done.

Throughout the whole process, you will need to manage admin tasks, communicate with the team and balance artistic goals with practical constraints like budgets. Despite the demanding work, collaborating with talented artists to bring stories to life on stage can be highly rewarding.

How much can a Director earn?

Directors are often freelancers, so you can negotiate your fee with the company or venue. This would usually be based on the venue's budget, the desired rehearsal time, the duration of the show, the size of the audience and the ticket prices. The fee may vary depending on your level of experience as a Director. Learn more about freelancing with our blog: 'How to be a freelancer in theatre.'

A preparatory fee will be given, in addition to weekly payments for rehearsals. Whilst salaries will vary, the Independent Theatre Council states that the minimum preparatory fee for a full-length play of 70+ minutes is £1,870.00. For short plays of 70 minutes or less, the preparatory fee is £1,232.32. They rate rehearsals at a weekly payment of £572 (correct as of May 2024). As this is the minimum, preparatory fees can often be much more.

The above is a guide. Pay, salary or fee can vary depending on the theatre or company, as well as your personal experience. National institutions or commercial productions can pay in excess of the above, with profit-share or community theatre paying less.

Intro starts with no intrumentals and just Rumi singing, then piano chords comes in behind her voice, more intruments start coming in, zoey and mira start singing afterwards, then the all sing togetherat this point all instuments are playing, each of them singing with each other, with proper line distrubition to give each of them a chance shine, chorus comes in loud, determination in rumis voice, a breakdown after the chorus with a bunch of people singing "this is what it sounds like" before coming back into the chorus even stronger with the power of thier fans with them providing some backing vocals while rumi sings the main melody as mira and zoey provide harmonies

alot of reverb is present in their voices

-----------------------------------------------------

talk about the movie here but it helps explain the song so yeah

the start has little instrumental with just rumi singing, showing how she is the only one able to fight against the demons at the start of the song, but her singing is able to break through the demons influence and soon mira and zoey break free and join rumi again, and after the first chorus the fans start joining in, showing how their song is working against the demons, with the second chorus being so strong, they're fighting back and winning

# data[].attributes.body
what went well?

I think being able to sing somewhat well despite being my first time performing this song is really good

what would you improve?

I would try to practise the song more as I kept going out of tune and running out of breath, alongside my confidence cuz I was actually shaking oops

What did you learn?

um, ig that I'm capable of standing a stage by myself? idk

What did you enjoy?

just singing a song that I love
