Oh, Hello, It's Been Several Months Since YumeMita Aired, And Here's That One Situation That Just Been Cleared... It's The Miyako And Viola Situation, It's Been Months Since That Event Happened In The Anime, And I Will Like To Remember It, And Ask One Simple Rina-Chan Board Question, Does It Still Hold Up After They Are No Longer Together?
Was it all in the palm of her hand? The Person who changed Miyako's values.
Miyako, a manga artist by profession but also involved in band activities, meets Viola, a self-proclaimed huge fan of hers. Viola understands and empathizes with Miyako's loneliness hidden beneath the surface of her work. Miyako becomes infatuated with Viola and becomes dependent on her, but in reality, it was all part of Viola's plan. Viola approached Miyako to use her as a member of Arare's band. Devastated by the truth, Miyako nevertheless decides to confront Viola directly to break ties with her...!
Sad headwind! - A blind love that drags everyone around it into it.
Is it a lingering attachment, or something else...? Miyako's resolve solidifies. Tears well up in her eyes as she decides to become severing ties with Viola
Miyako & Viola: Synopsis
"Mugen Dai Myu-type" and Viola embark on their separate paths.
Meanwhile, Viola has vanished into the shadows after her misdeeds were exposed. Will the day ever come when their paths cross again?
The event has been decided. From there, the members of "MewType" came together with Arare's desire to "want to do a free live talk show on a street stage in Akihabara!", and they overcame many obstacles, and a fabricated video posted by Viola caused a firestorm.
Let's look back on the journey once again! There was a story of Miyako and Viola, who played the darker side of the story, and their eventual parting. "I Dreamed" But behind that happy ending were love and betrayal,
It could be said that it ended in a great way. With a national tour also decided, it was a great success befitting a "grand finale." Furthermore, they delivered a top-notch performance that seemed to reach all prefectures, and the energy exploded during the live show! The cloudy sky was blown away, but once the performance began, they seemed a little nervous as it was their first time performing live in front of an audience.
She also harbors a ruthless side. However, she will choose her means to achieve her goals. Beautiful, intelligent, and considerate, she is the leader of "Fairy Bouquet".
A determined declaration of separation, and a tearful farewell!
Even after learning the truth, Miyako can't bring herself to hate Viola, so she decides to confront Viola directly to settle things for herself. And when Viola extends her hand saying, "We can do better than anyone," Miyako pushes it away, finally severing her lingering feelings for Viola and declaring their separation.
It's boring, That's what I said
Viola was drawn to Arare's "natural radiance." She wanted to shine like Arare. However, the more she tried, the more she realized she was nothing but a "fake." Yet, for the sake of those who smiled when they saw her, she had no choice but to shine in her own "fake" way. Where will Viola, who watches Arare and the others perform from afar, end up...?
My encounter with the viola, which gave me all the words I wanted to hear.
Viola "fell in love at first sight" with the first illustration Miyako posted online. By looking at Miyako's work, she was able to read and empathize with the love-hate relationship Miyako felt towards "shining people." Miyako felt that Viola saw herself through her work and was there for her. As a result, she was quickly drawn to Viola.
Becoming so engrossed in the viola that you lose sight of everything else...
Having finally found someone who truly understands her, Miyako is completely deceived by Viola's skillful performance and acting, as she effortlessly uses smiles and tears to win people over. Arare and Ritsu, who know Viola's dangerous true nature, try to stop Miyako, but Miyako is so infatuated with her that their words no longer reach her.
Overwhelmed by grief, everything crumbled, and Miyako wondered to herself, "Were all my words lies?" The viola had given her up until now
The fact that it was being used to disparage "MewType"
Guided by Viola, Miyako ended up complaining about Arare. Later, the audio was spread on social media, causing a firestorm of controversy over the "Myu-type feud" rumors. It was then that Miyako realized for the first time that she had been used by Viola, and she was deeply shocked and broke down in tears.
Things went exactly as planned, and she couldn't help but make this face! Viola succeeded in what she had hoped for. Secretly recording the conversation between Arare and Miyako
"Let's blow away the winter wind, and love, maiden."
The shock brought about by Viola, the unparalleled "villainess"
I myself have had very few opportunities to play a "villainess character," and there have been very few characters like Viola who belittle others in past "BanG Dream!" series, so I also saw the big reaction. There were various opinions, but I think the production staff intended for Viola to continue to move the hearts of many people, and as a performer, I was happy to see it.
---What was it like playing a villain?
I also abandoned my rationality and took on the challenge.
Actually, I've always really wanted to play a villain, so I had a lot of fun playing the role... To play a viola with broken brakes
Viola was a unique presence even within the "BanG Dream!" series. What were your first impressions of Viola?
At first glance, Fujii gave the impression of being a calculating girl. In fact, Viola doesn't say anything particularly aggressive or harsh in the script, so I didn't get the impression that she had a bad personality. But when Hondo's acting and the illustrations came together, my impression of her completely changed to "This girl is dangerous!", which was very shocking.
When I first received the offer to play Viola, the document said, "The worst scumbag in BanG Dream! history," and I had to do a double-take (laughs). I thought, "Wow, I've been given an incredible role..." That was my first encounter with Viola. Visually, she's lovely and cute, but she doesn't smile anywhere but her mouth, so I wondered what kind of girl she really was. After that, every time I received the script, I went into the recording session without knowing where Viola's true feelings lay, so I thought, "She's a girl whose thoughts are hard to grasp."
There was a great response to Viola among anime fans, and the kind of reputation did you have?
Thank you! When I was doing the voice-over for Viola, I tried to forget that I was in front of the microphone. If I went into it thinking, "I'm going to do a voice-over," I wouldn't be able to get to Viola's feelings. I couldn't understand or empathize with Viola's feelings or thoughts at all. Even so, I tried to imagine what she was thinking, like, "Maybe she was really thinking this way," and I wrote a lot of notes in the script, trying to internalize Viola. ---Which scene did you both feel was the most amazing or frightening about Viola?
My favorite part is when Miyako and Viola went to a cafe for the first time. Not long after they met, Viola had already researched cafes that Miyako would like and taken her there, and even fed her a parfait with a "Ahhh♡"
Right. But if you play a villain half-heartedly, you'll lose to the role.
Because of that, if you're going to do it, you have to go all out and break free. Viola, in particular, is intelligent, but she's a child who gives off a sense of madness as if the brakes are broken, so I had to abandon my reason and push myself to the limit while acting. --What did you think, Ms. Fuji, after watching Ms. Hondo's acting up close?
Hondo: In episode #4, I love the scene where Viola says "Huh?" after seeing Utami, the leader of "Lalalala Girls," politely refuse a fan who asks to take a photo with her. Immediately after that, there's a press conference announcing Utami's departure from the group, and the announcement that "Viola will be the next leader" happens so quickly (laughs). It was a scene that succinctly depicted the gap between Viola's cute appearance and her scary inner self. When I was doing the voiceover for that scene, I was told, "Give me the lowest 'Huh?' you can manage," and I was surprised, thinking, "With this cuteness, how can I say such a low 'Huh?'!?!?" But thanks to the direction, I think it really increased Viola's impact.
Even if they betray me, I can't hate them....
This is purely my speculation, but I think that when Viola's betrayal was exposed and she no longer needed to pretend, she said, "Those were my true feelings," and I think that was actually true.
That's one of the reasons why Miyako still has so many feelings for Viola. That's precisely why the direct confrontation with Viola in episode #12 was necessary for her to finally let go of those feelings.
--And in #13, Viola had something hidden inside...Even if Viola betrays me...It is, My feelings of gratitude haven't faded.
After talking to Miyako and realizing she was easy to manipulate, she quickly slipped into the cracks in her heart. Her ability to adapt to the situation was amazing. While she threw words at Ricchan to corner her mentally, she did everything she could to make Miyako her pawn. Viola's greatness and frightening qualities lie in her combination of the intelligence to control people's hearts and the decisive action to put it into practice.
I'm sure Viola also had some part of her heart that resonated with Miyako's work. That's why, even after realizing she had been deceived, I don't think the feeling of "Thank you for liking my work" has disappeared from Miyako's heart.
I'm glad you're here.
Miyako's growing fascination with the viola.
The radiance that Arale-chan possessed was innate. Viola had tried to create a younger sister character and so on, but she could never beat the real thing. Meeting Arale-chan for the first time and experiencing that radiance may have changed Viola. Even after the final episode, living with that love-hate relationship with Arale-chan was a more painful and harsh ending for Viola than being labeled a "villainess" and disappearing.
As the actress playing Viola, I was watching her thinking, "How lucky she is, she's so easy to manipulate!" But looking at it from a third-person perspective, I started to worry, "Is this girl going to be okay...?"
Perhaps because she hadn't been fortunate enough to find someone who understood her, she was manipulated exactly as Viola intended. I started to worry that if she continued down this path, she might be deceived by bad people. Fujii: If such a beautiful woman could read and empathize with the feelings of the artist hidden behind their work, of course, you'd fall in love with her. And then
--Finally, please give a message to the fans who have supported you until the final episode. Fuji: Every episode was full of suspense, but "Yumemita"
Even at the live performance in Akihabara, Viola was watching Arale-chan from quite far away. When I saw that the person she was looking at wasn't Miyako, I felt like I had experienced heartbreak for the second time... (laughs).
True feelings were depicted....
End Of The Rant, At Least Everyone Cleared Up And Knew That ViolaMiyako's Ship Had Sunk.. Bye! - R.T
